Initially, the subject of this paper was to investigate how the Swedish cultural heritage law (Kulturmiljölagen 1988:950) affects the church buildings of the Church of Sweden. When the parishes of the Church of Sweden wish to change their churches interiors to fit contemporary liturgical ideals they must first seek permission from the County Administrative Boards who ensures the preservation of th

Bakgrund: Personer som är diagnostiserade med MS eller ALS är i stor utsträckning beroende av andra i sitt aktivitetsutförande. Att vara nära anhörig och leva tillsammans med en person som är diagnostiserad med en kronisk progressiv sjukdom innebär ofta stor påfrestning med aktivitetsobalans som följd. Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att kartlägga hur anhöriga till personer som lever med MS eller A

The Danish cartoon crisis was triggered by the publication of twelve cartoons of the prophet Muhammad by the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten in 2005 and had a significant impact on world politics. This paper tries to understand this crisis using a post-positivist approach to social reality. It asserts that the crisis can be understood discursively by applying the theory of discourse of danger to

The aim of this thesis is to analyze whether the aggressive foreign policy actions recently taken by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia can be understood and explained through political identity theory and role conception theory from a social constructivist theory perspective. This will be done through a discursive analysis method according to Laclau and Mouffe, aiming to identify a discourse of the iden

This study aims to deepen the understanding of mundane consumption by examining hidden meanings in the case of the Milk Uprising, when sharp decreases in the availability of Skånemejerier’s milk in Scania, Sweden, in 2009 ignited a major consumer revolt. We argue that existing literature is inadequate to explain this case where mundane consumption all of a sudden became spectacular, and that such

This Bachelor thesis critically studies how women’s identities are constructed in resolutions put together by the United Nations. The thesis focuses on three Resolutions on Democratic Republic of the Congo, (RES/2053(2012))(RES/2098(2013) and (RES/2147(2014) in order to highlight how women are being portrayed in new mandates given to intervention forces. By applying Critical Discourse Analysis, Po

Purpose The purpose of this thesis is to contribute with knowledge on consumer identity in a social media setting and how companies can utilize this behaviour for effective marketing. Method The thesis adopts a constructivist perspective on how we interpret our interviewees, the reality and our own research role. The interviews have been inspired by both ethnographic and a phenomenological appro

For this research, two satellite products were used to see if it was possible to improve the resolution and quality of the global radiation interpolation in the Netherlands. The first data source was from the Climate Monitoring Satellite Application Facility (CM-SAF). The second data source was the Surface Insolation under Clear and Cloudy Skies (SICCS) from the KNMI. Both products were available f

In this paper I examine potential implications of how a “Dual-process theory” of the mind can influence ethical theory. It is a theory dividing the brain in two system, an (1) implicit system, as intuitive, automatic and unconscious, and an (2) explicit system, as a deductive and conscious process. Empirical studies seem to indicate that this is how we can understand moral reasoning. It has been p

To explore the possible negative consequences associated with when a company leverages the corporate brand on its products, and suggest potential strategies to avoid these. The authors intend to investigate the opinions of experts and professional with extensive experience within the field of branding, through conducting qualitative in-depth interviews. The thesis is based upon a theoretical revie

Populärvetenskaplig sammanftaaning: För 65 miljoner år sedan slog en extraterrestrisk kropp ner på Yucatán-halvön i södra Mexico. Nedslaget orsakade ett av de största massutdöendena i historien, då bland annat dinosaurierna dog ut. Nedslaget kan ha varit en följd av ett tillfälligt ökat asteroidflöde i inre solsystemet som orsakats av att en jätteasteroid i asteroidbältet mellan Mars och Jupiter bAn impact crater is the result of a collision between a large and a smaller body. On Earth most of the cratering record has been erased because of tectonic processes and weathering. The Moon, however, displays a nearly complete record of impact events over the last 2 Gyr, and evidence of impact cratering events nearly 4 billion years old. The same family of impactors is responsible for the formati

This thesis aims to examine how the EC law regarding asylum and refugees, or more precisely how the notion of “safe countries” and the definition of “refugee” in the Asylum Procedures Directive and the Qualification Directive, affect the Roma minority in Europe. The theoretical framework is based on two theories: One theory is Etienne Balibar’s discussion concerning the European project and how it

I uppsatsen jämförs arbetstagarbegreppet samt regleringen av ”mellangruppen” i svensk och tysk rätt i ett EU-rättsligt perspektiv. Arbetstagarbegreppet är ett kärnbegrepp och är viktigt då en stor del av den arbetsrättsliga lagstiftningen i Sverige och Tyskland endast är tillämplig på arbetstagare. Detta gör att arbetstagarbegreppets tolkning och innebörd får betydelse för vem som omfattas av den The personal scope of labour law in Sweden and Germany is defined by the use of the notion of employee (Arbetstagarbegreppet/Arbeitsnehmerbegriff). The notion of employee is important since a large part of the labour law regulations in Sweden and Germany only cover employees. Therefore the meaning and interpretation of the notion of employee has a great influence on who is covered by labour law an

This essay investigates The Man of Jasmine from German surrealist writer Unica Zürn through the lens of Rosi Braidotti's Nomadic Subject. Furthermore, it questions and elaborates the possibility of a Nomadic Subject in The Man of Jasmine. The result of a nomadic reading on the novel is discussed and estimated in terms of its productivity. I observed a consistency between certain aspects of sur

Olikheter i nationers lagstiftning och mellan olika rättsystem vad gäller restriktioner i hur man värderar säkerhetsrätter där själva säkerheten inte befinner sig i borgenärens besittning har länge försvårat marknaden för finansiering och leasing, särskilt vad gäller högt värderad egendom såsom luftfartsutrustning, rullande järnvägsmateriell och tillgångar avsedda för rymden. Dessutom ger lagstift

Uppsatsen behandlar frågan om hur ämbetsbärare inom Svenska kyrkan använder timbreringar i deras heraldiska vapen. Detta bruk jämförs sedan med bruket Church of England samt Romersk katolska kyrkan, vilka har en reglerad heraldik, i motsats till Sverige, och Svenska kyrkan. I uppsatsen lämnas även förslag till timbreringar för Svenska kyrkan.

The care for the elderly in the municipalities has recently seen the need for a formalized system for quality assurance. Under increasing demands for monetary efficiency while bound by law to retain acceptable standards in health care, there is need for efficient and at the same time quality-assured management. The municipalities often solve this puzzle by introducing systems and standards influen

Abstract The economic crisis of the 1990s brought about a paradigm shift in the macro economic priorities of Swedish governments. The economic crisis also brought about a fundamental and structural reorganization of the Swedish social insurance system. Social insurance was to be concentrated. The component that was to be most affected by the concentration was the sickness insurance. From now and o

The integration of the European Union has reached the core of the welfare states. Since 2001 an open method of coordination has been used to improve the level of welfare in the member states. The aim of this thesis is to examine the level of democracy in the writing of the national action plans which are part of the OMC social inclusion. A vast number of participants have been involved in the proc

The purpose of this thesis is to provide a contribution to the current waged debate concerning the validity of Carl von Clausewitz’s theories regarding actors engaged in the acts of war. These thoughts have been suggested to be obsolete in the post-cold war era whereas the new wars theories have emerged and modified and challenged the classical knowledge of the very nature of war. The theoretical
