In my essay I will discuss the role of the main character, Miss Emily, in the short story "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner. The short story was written in 1930 and takes place in the small town of Jefferson, in the south of the USA. Miss Emily is the only person remaining of the Grierson family, a family seen as mighty, as it used to be wealthy and had a prominent position in the town, and therefore she considers herself as finer than the other townspeople. As a result, she never marries and keeps to herself most of the time. The story stretches over most of Miss Emily‟s life and the narrator focuses on her. When she in the end dies, it is revealed that she had poisoned her lover and slept next to the dead body for forty years. In this essay I suggest that Miss Emily is imaged as a goddess and I will try to show evidence for that by pointing out religious references in the text as well as by discussing the important role of the narrator. I will argue that due to the Grierson family‟s history being of importance to the town, the prominence of Miss Emily‟s looks, and the way she acts imply that she is seen by the townspeople as a goddess. Moreover, Miss Emily‟s relationship with Homer Barron and the description of her house will be analyzed to strengthen the idea that Miss Emily could be linked to divinity. In my view, if Miss Emily is perceived as a goddess, she is bound to emerge as more than a mentally disturbed woman who killed her lover.

In order to facilitate design and maintenance of such a large and complex site as a nuclear power plant, all system functions must be described in a stringent way. In the past, these descriptions consisted of text documents and logical diagrams, but today there are an increasing number of object-oriented programs available on the market which might be used for this purpose. This Master Thesis has made a closer study of one of these programs named Rational Rose. The principal of the program is to facilitate software design and development, not to create models of plants. However, using the program the same way as developing software, specifying actors then gradually extend the model with use cases, use cases diagrams etc, the same methods can be used when modelling plants. During this Master Thesis most of the time has been spent developing, structuring and classifying the functions composing the Feed Water Backup System of the reactor named Oskarshamn 3. A considerable amount of time was also spent to find a general structure for typical motor and valve circuits in the plant, which are also applicable for the configuration of the Feed Water Backup System. This general structure will then be used to support maintenance and to get faster decisions when new systems are designed. Effectuating the modernization of the nuclear power plants in Sweden, an ever- increasing use of highly software intensive systems will be introduced, which also leads to the need of finding other ways to describe those systems. A suitable method is to use Rational Rose, where the entire process, from description to final product, will be done in an integrated way. Use cases are generated and together with their related documentation they will form the description of the desired system functions.

A phytochemical investigation on methanolic extract of roots of yellow rose led to the isolation of a catechin gallate. The crude extract first underwent fractionation using petroleum ether, chloroform, ethylacetate, butanol with water as solvents in their respective order. The emerging solvent fractions were subjected to further separation using lipophilic sephadex (LH-20), and silica gel column chromatography to isolate pure compounds. Analytical thin layer chromatography (TLC) was used to confirm the presence of a catechin in butanol fraction. Purified catechin compound was subjected to 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) experiment to determine its Radical Scavenging Capacity, which was found quite promising. Chemical structure of purified compound was established by using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Mass Spectrometry (MS) experiments.
