Women are for friendships, men are for fucking : En studie av homosocialitet och kvinnlig vänskap i Sex and the city

I denna uppsats studeras den kvinnliga vänskapen i tv-serien Sex and the city utifrån homosocialitetsteorier och framställningen av den kvinnliga vänskapen. Tidigare studier om serien har gjorts men där fann jag en lucka då kvinnornas vänskap inte studerats på ett liknande sätt tidigare. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur den kvinnliga vänskapen gestaltas mellan kvinnorna i serien. För att studera detta Lipman-Blumens homosocialitetsteori använts som definierar homosocialitet som att uppskatta, söka sig till eller föredra umgänge med människor av samma kön. Gothlins teori om vänskap och hur denna porträttreras har använts i studien för att kunna identifiera kvinnors vänskap. Heterosociaiitetsteori tas också upp för att visa på motsatsen till homosocialitetsteorin. Undersökningen av studien är uppdelad i två delar, en kvantitativ del där relevanta inslag klockats för att se hur lång tid ett visst innehåll fått i serien. Samt en kvalitativ analys av innehållet i serien där typiska scener valts ut och analyserats för att förstå innehållet och för att kunna analysera kvinnornas vänskap till varandra. Den genomförda analysen behandlar deras vänskap och visar på att kvinnornas homosociala band och deras vänskap till varandra är betydligt starkare än vad tidigare forskning och teorier benämt. Denna studie visar på att vänskapen i serien tagits till en ny nivå där vännerna inte vara är vänner utan själsfränder och kärlekar utan sexuell dragningskraft till varandra. Där vänskapen är vad som värderas högst och att kvinnorna inte är i behov av en man. 

"What do other people think?" - The role of prejudice and social norms in the expression of opinions against gay men

It is generally acknowledged that it is no longer socially acceptable to espouse prejudiced beliefs, yet prejudiced attitudes and discriminatory behaviours still occur. The present study sought to determine when and by whom prejudiced attitudes would be expressed. Specifically, an experiment was conducted to examine the impact of injunctive social norms emanating from a social group with which participants identified and participants' level of homophobia on the expression of opinions about gay men. Participants were presented with information indicating that the majority of group members agreed with a number of prejudiced injunctive statements (pro-prejudice norm), that the majority disagreed with the statements (anti-prejudice norm), or they were given no information about other group members' opinions (control). Participants then reported their own responses to the same injunctive statements. Participants' levels of homophobia were assessed either before or after they were given the normative information. The results indicated that activation of a pro-prejudice injunctive norm for those higher in homophobia resulted in more prejudiced opinions being expressed in comparison to those who received no normative information or those who had a nonprejudiced norm activated. Those lower in homophobia expressed less prejudiced opinions than those higher in homophobia and this did not differ as a function of social norm. The results demonstrate how prejudice can come to be expressed even in the presence of a broad societal norm that suggests that is it wrong to express such opinions.

Friction factors and rheological behavior of Australian honey in a straight pipe

The pumping characteristics of four Australian honey samples were investigated in a straight pipe. Six flow rates (100-500 kg h(-1)) were studied at three temperatures (35-50degreesC). The pressure loss increased with an increase in the length of the pipe, as the low rate was increased and as the temperature was reduced. In the 25.4 mm-pipe, the Reynolds number ranged from 0.2-32.0 and are substantially less than the critica value (2040-2180) for laminar condition in the system. The relationship between the wall shear stress and shear rate approximated power-law behaviour, and the power-law index was not significantly (p>0.05) different from 1.0. The honey samples exhibited Newtonian behaviour at all the temperatures and this was confirmed by rheometric studies using Couette geometry. A friction chart was generated independent of temperature and the type of honey. An equation was developed to predict the pressure loss of the honey in a typical pipeline at any temperature once the viscosity-temperature relationship had been established.
