But despite that a desire for good event management may exist, the knowledge may be lacking. This master thesis aims to study the risks and dependencies on LARP events with the goal to answer the question: “What should be included in sa
Popular science summary: What the zebra finches did not see There is more out there than what we can see; that is something that most people would agree on. And I am not talking about ghosts from the beyond or aliens from space; I am talking about all those things that we know exist but that we are not able to see with our own eyes or feel with our own senses. I am not talking science fiction, I

The underpinning disposition of this thesis is that animals belong in politics, considering it is the political processes and ideologies that determine our treatment of animals. The European Union started to legislate on the protection and welfare of farm animals during the 1970s. Over time, a slow
Syftet med denna framställning är att, mot bakgrund av att arvsrätt existerar inom äktenskap, undersöka om sambors avsaknad av arvsrätt är motiverad samt att diskutera sambors efterlevandeskydd de lege ferenda. För att uppnå syftet undersöks efterlevandeskyddet för sambor respektive makar, hur efterlevandeskyddet för sambor kan stärkas, hur sambors avsaknad av arvsrätt är motiverad och till sist hThe purpose of this thesis is to investigate whether or not it is justifiable that cohabiting partners don’t inherit from each other, given that married couples do. Furthermore, I am going to discuss cohabiting partners’ provision for surviving lex ferenda.

In the process I shed new light on Rousseau’s work. Throughout the text, I argue that the War on Terror is characterised by temporal ambiguities and, furthermore, that these ambiguities can be traced to the
