Sverige är ett tämligen unikt land när det kommer till den offentliga förvaltningen. Regeringens underlydande myndigheter har lydnadsplikt, samtidigt som myndigheterna ska vara självständiga. Sverige har inget ministerstyre, utan det är regeringen som kollektivt kan ge direktiv till sina myndigheter. Uppsatsen ämne berör i vilken mån regeringen kan använda sig av så kallade informella kontakter, ”Sweden is a rather unique country when it comes to public administration. The government agencies must show obedience towards the government, but the government agencies are at the same time independent from the government. Sweden does not allow ministerial rule, instead the governmet is forced to give directives collectively. The main subject of the essay is to ascertain in what way the governmen

In recent years there has been a rising trend to develop urban areas to become more sustainable, as an answer to the ongoing climate crisis. However, studies show that labelling the city as sustainable and green may cause equity issues and may lead to what is called green gentrification. This thesis explores the power that actors involved in the process of planning the sustainable city hold. Speci

Studien syftar till att visa på hur idealtyper kan användas för ett fenomen inom samhällsvetenskapen samt hur propaganda i medierna kan beskrivas som en berättelse. Detta illustreras i studien av det undersökta fallet som är den nya svenska försvarspolitiken. Metod och teori utgår från en kvalitativ innehållsanalys och i den har Entmans gestaltningsteori använts för att beskriva hur fallet kan s

Through a case study of Västra Hamnen in Malmö, this paper seeks to investigate the goal conflicts that exist between walking, cycling and public transport as modes of transportation. It also aims to analyze how the city’s traffic planning has worked with a child perspective in the handling of these goal conflicts, through a comparison with the tradition of advocacy planning. Following an analysis

The freedom of establishment is an expression of the Internal Market. On the one hand, the EU tries to strengthen the Internal Market, but on the other hand, Member States have a fear to lose their national control, making them eager to restrict the free movements granted by the Internal Market doctrine. The contradiction becomes visible in regard to the cross-border movement of companies in the E

Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur diskursen kring kärnvapen har förts i svensk media under åren 2014, 2017 och 2022. Detta med bakgrund till det säkerhetspolitiska läget år 2014 med Rysslands invasion av Krim-halvön, antagandet av TPNW i FN 2017, samt Sveriges ansökan om Nato-medlemskap 2022. Huvudfrågeställningen innefattar: Hur har diskursen kring kärnvapen i svensk media sett ut under

In 1989, the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). The convention, whose purpose is to ensure and protect children’s rights globally, was later ratified by Sweden 1990. Thereby, the country committed itself to legally follow the articles of the convention. By conducting a descriptive case study analysis of the CRC, this text aims to invest

This thesis examines the concept of accessibility within the context of Skåne's transport planning. The primary objectives of this study are two-fold: firstly, to understand the meaning of accessibility as outlined in Region Skåne's strategies; and secondly, to analyze the influence of regional priorities and planning processes on the practices of key stakeholders, namely Region Skåne and

Coming from a predominantly Catholic country, Lithuanian immigrants in Scandinavia find themselves in a contrasting Protestant context of the host societies. This ethnographic study of diasporic Lithuanian communities and their transnational Catholic practices aims to understand what motivates immigrant Lithuanians to join the church in Sweden or Norway and whether this foreign environment influen

Biodiversity is today rapidly decreasing, and one of the main threats is land use intensification in forest landscapes. By improving the forest quality in the surrounding landscape of protected areas, the level of biodiversity could increase, and green infrastructure areas have been proposed as a method in Sweden. These areas are called Valuable Forest Areas (VFAs), and contain high densities of s

This article is a follow-up of Alvesson and Karreman (2011a), which was in itself a follow-up of Alvesson and Karreman (2000), and a response to a critique of the former by Hardy and Grant (2012). The critique is addressed directly and the logic behind it investigated critically. The article also addresses wider concerns regarding the politics of research and publishing and the conditions of criti

Software systems are becoming increasingly ubiquitous and can be found in devices we use every day from mobile phones to cars. As our reliance on software-based systems increases, our tolerance with software that is ill-fitted to our needs decreases. We expect these devices to function whenever and however we need them to. However, developing these (often) large and complex software systems to mee

Haploid hybrid gametophytes are often present at low frequencies in sympatric populations of Sphagnum capillifolium and Sphagnum quinquefarium. We used intersimple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers and polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism of the trnL(UAA) intron of the chloroplast genome to reveal the nuclear and chloroplast composition of mature hybrid gametophytes from

The results of a search for top squark (stop) pair production in final states with one isolated lepton, jets, and missing transverse momentum are reported. The analysis is performed with proton-proton collision data at root s = 8 TeV collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC in 2012 corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20 fb(-1). The lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) is taken to be

The carcinogenicity of cigar and pipe smoking is established but the effect of detailed smoking characteristics is less well defined. We examined the effects on cancer incidence of exclusive cigar and pipe smoking, and in combination with cigarettes, among 102,395 men from Denmark, Germany, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom in the EPIC cohort. Hazard ratios (HR) and their 95% confidence interva
