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
By ratifying the ILO Conventions on freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining (Nos. 87 and 98) member states undertake the obligation to bring national legislation and practice into full compliance with these international labour instruments. However, the question is whether the countries actually implement their international commitments. This comparative paper studies the e
The purpose of this thesis is to examine the audit expectations gap in Sweden and the public confidence in the audit profession. We analysed if and how Svenska Dagbladet’s critical articles about the audit profession affected both the public confidence and the audit expectations gap. In order to answer our purpose, we have used qualitative research methods. Our conclusion is that no crisis of conf
Interventionen i Libyen var den första militära insatsen som legitimerades med normen skyldigheten att skydda. Vi undersöker om interventionen följer de riktlinjer som den legitimerades med. Vi gör en granskande fallstudie med inslag av en idealtypsanalys för att besvara vår frågeställning. I den följande texten kommer vi visa att den NATO-ledda koalitionens aktioner i Libyen i stort försöker följ
Global water scarcity is increasingly acknowledged as an issue of peace and security. Declining water availability as well as rising freshwater demand increase the likeliness of military action and violent conflicts over transboundary surface and underground freshwater resources. This thesis analyses whether riparian countries suffering from water scarcity are more prone to violent conflict and di
The student group is an emerging target with high potential for both the service industry and municipalities. However, previous studies scrutinizing this segment have been limited despite its significance. The aim of this study is to provide a deeper understanding of how domestic and international students perceive Helsingborg city and to offer insight into the key factors influencing students’ pe
This thesis aims to investigate the advantages and limitations of the lean startup method. Eric Ries published the book The Lean Startup in 2011 and it quickly became popular among entrepreneurs and business developers. However, there is little research on the lean startup method as of today, which has inspired the authors of this thesis to investigate the significance and application of the metho
Purpose: The purpose and aim with this research was to understand how brands successfully can co-opt a social movement; specifically feminism, as part of their brand building-strategies. The phenomenon was explored by comparing one successful case, Libresse’s ‘RedFit’ campaign, with a relatively the less successful case; that is, H&M’s ‘Ladylike’ campaign. Methodology: This study takes a rela
