Diploma thesis diels with the influence of temperature on the strength and the quality of the glued joints between beech edge and particleboard. The samples were tested in peel test performed at an angle of 90° and shear under compression loading at an angle of 45°. To perform the tests were made two sets of test samples. A set where the edge was glued with hotmelt adhesive EVA, the second set glued with hotmelt adhesive PUR. The experiment was conducted on samples stored in standard conditions and on samples being exposede to cyclic thermal load. Cyclic thermal load was used to simulate the internal environment in shipping containers in international transport of goods. The results of the measurements were processed, analyzed, statistically evaluated then matched with each other.

ABSTRACTIn the autumn of 2017 361 testimonies of sexualized violence and abuse from women, previously or currently active in the Church of Sweden, were published under the hashtag #vardeljus as a part of #metoo. Neither the church nor theology can ignore or avoid the subject after this publication. However, despite this obvious need to address #vardeljus theologically, there has been a lack of theological reflection within a Swedish context. Indeed, the questions of if and how theology continue to contribute to the legitimation and maintenance of structures that enable sexualised violence and how theology can help women exposed to sexualised violence remain largely unanswered. This study therefore aims to provide some answers. Firstly, it seeks to identify what needs are expressed in the testimonies from #vardeljus by examining the theological conclusions about these, as drawn by Anne Sörman, from a feminist theological perspective. Secondly, it analyses whether contemporary interpretations of original sin by Lutheran theologians Eva-Lotta Grantén and Anna Karin Hammar contain useful, relevant, and sufficient resources to meet these demands and acknowledge women who experienced sexualised violence in church environments. Thirdly, this study contributes to the future shaping of theology by concluding which complements are needed to ensure that theological interpretations of sin, such as for example those by Grantén and Hammar, are relevant also for women subjected to sexualized violence. By using feminist theological textual analysis, where key themes as represented by Susan Frank Parsons, Sólveig Anna Bóasdóttir, Rita Nakashima Brock and Rebecca Ann Parker are defined and used, this study queries whether these needs are acknowledged and met in interpretations of original sin by Grantén and Hammar. In this examination their usage of such theological concepts as original sin, sin, accountability and guilt are weighted against the #vardeljus-experiences of sexualised violence in order to establish whether original sin is a concept suitable for acknowledging women and including them in theology. Grantén and Hammar attempt to make original sin a useful and understandable concept for contemporary believers, although they differ in their interpretations of this concept. Grantén considers that original sin entails guilt which primarily concerns and affects the relation between an individual and God and only secondarily interhuman relationships. Hammar argues against the usage of original sin and guilt and instead proposes to use destruction and (original) accountability as contemporary-friendlier alternatives. However, neither Grantén, whose main concern is to study original sin as a cause to the existence of sin and evil, nor Hammar, who applies a more consequence-directed approach, manages to adequately acknowledge or adapt their interpretations after women’s experiences of being victims to sexualised violence. This study concludes that if contemporary interpretations of original sin aren’t supplemented with interpretations that illuminate differences within a group where everybody is a sinner, acknowledge women as victims, emphasise the need of identifying and holding perpetrators accountable, and, at the same time, offer tangible help to victims, then the resources that the concept of original sin offers are neither helpful nor relevant to women that are victims of sexualised violence.

In a fragmented media landscape, the Melody Festival (Melodifestivalen) is one of the few Swedish media productions that still gathers audiences for ritual media consumption. Despite its position as one of the largest media institutions in Swedish society, research regarding the event is limited and this bachelor study aims to counteract this. The aim of the study is to investigate what values and ideological assumptions about interpersonal relationships that are discursively constructed in the song lyrics performed at the Melody Festival. The study is based on critical discourse analysis, and Eva Illouz's sociological theories concerning relationships, as a theoretical framework. Every winning entry from every even year between 2002-2023 (a sample of 11 song lyrics) has been analyzed using critical discourse analysis. In line with previous research on pop music, the results of the study show how the most common type of relationship in the material is of a romantic nature. Love is frequently depicted metaphorically as an all-consuming force in accordance with Illouz. However, love as work (à la Illouz) is not represented in the material. The results also show how the private is prioritized over the societal where the relationship between “I” and “you” is the most prominent.

Ce mémoire s’intéresse à la capacité d’Eva Joly à incarner dans sa candidature à l’investiture écologiste une figure contre-démocratique en revendiquant l’image de «l’incorruptible». Cette question de recherche, liée à la thèse de Pierre Rosanvallon sur la contre-démocratie, nous a amené à étudier la construction du cadrage médiatique d’Eva Joly à travers le modèle du cadrage en cascade de Robert Entman. Aux fins de notre étude, nous avons procédé à une analyse de contenu de l’ensemble des interviews d’Eva Joly de juillet 2010 à juillet 2011, soit l’année précédant son investiture comme candidate d’Europe Écologie Les Verts à l’élection présidentielle française de 2012. Nos données semblent indiquer qu’Eva Joly a imposé le cadre de l’incorruptible lorsque le contexte électoral était peu compétitif. Néanmoins, elle n’a pas pu maintenir son discours lié à la lutte contre la corruption au cœur de la compétition électorale, abandonnant ainsi temporairement son rôle contre-démocratique. Elle a en effet délaissé le cadre de l’incorruptible au profit du cadre divergent compétitif de l’écologiste lorsqu’il a été largement mis en avant par son principal concurrent, Nicolas Hulot, et repris par les journalistes.

<p>The aim of this study is to analyse the sexual power relations in contemporary urban novels of Swedish female writers.</p><p>I have identified a discourse in these novels as a heteronormative matrix which power is ruled by norms and assumptions about normality in both the heterosexual and lesbian stories. For this purpose I have related to Ivar B. Neumanns theory that individuals always find a way to confront the discourse by three different strategies. These strategies are used in my study as tools to organise these novels, because it is possible to see that the protagonists find at least one of these strategy’s to her protest.</p><p>The first strategy I studied was the docile. Here I argument that the heroines in Alla vilda, Jag minns alla mina älskare och hur de brukade ta på mig, Inte enklare än så, Lögner and Att älska henne do not reject the discourse about sexual power relationships. The second strategy, named the oppositionist, implies the protagonists refusing to be left as victims. In one way or another, either by change the rolls of the sexes (Ta vad man vill ha) or by problematising the order of them (Ego girl) or find lesbianism as a way to reject the discourse (both the novels by Mian Lodalen: Smulklubbens skamlösa systrar and Trekant). The reluctant is the last strat-egy who is the creative one, which rejects some things and adapt to other. Here I place the heroines from Stjärnor utan svindel, Andra sidan Alex and Storlek 37.</p><p>The result of this study is that despite quite different strategies to oppose against the hetero-sexual power discourse and the normative femininity everyone relates to it and thereby con-firms it.</p>
