This thesis aims to investigate how the interests of women are handled in political parties whose opinion programs are based on class interests.

By studying how the Social Democratic party deals with the

Denna uppsats berör gränsdragningen mellan mord och dråp. I Sverige regleras uppsåtligt dödligt våld av två lagbestämmelser; 3 kap. 1 § BrB avseende mord och 3 kap. 2 § BrB avseende dråp. Det följer dock inte av lagtexten vilka omständigheter som ska beaktas vid gränsdragningen, utan den enda vägledningen domstolarna får av lagen är att brottet ska rubriceras som dråp när det föreligger förmildranThis essay deals with the established boundary between murder and manslaughter (in Swedish mord and dråp). Intentional deadly violence is in Sweden regulated in two articles; chapter 3 § 1 of BrB regarding murder and chapter 3 § 2 of BrB regarding manslaughter. The articles do not say what circumstances the courts should take into consideration when classifying the deed in question – the only guid

In this study I investigate how relative clauses in MSA effect the temporal properties of the verb form known as Perfect. Comrie (1976), and later Fassi Fehri (2004), describe the Perfect as having the properties of anteriority and perfectivity, i.e. it reports a finished situation temporally anterior either to the time of speech or to some other point in time. My hypotheses is that the Perfect in

This thesis is a case study, which sets out to argue that the U.S., through the discourse of security, has been able to use measures to control migration that would otherwise not have been legitimized. The new agenda of migration as a security threat makes it possible to frame a necessity of increased regulations around the boarder. The effects of 9/11 on US policy with regards to Mexican immigrat

The hedge fund industry has become one of the most creative and innovative areas within banking and finance during the past ten years. Its rapid growth and constant development has made it hard for regulators to mitigate the potential risks posed to investors and the financial system.

The question of what kind of actor the European Union is has been much debated since its formation. One of the policy areas where the union has been taking on a prominent role is the environmental. The EU uses environmental policy to form its international identity in the lack of a common military force. Not only does it impose ambitious environmental targets within its borders, but also through v

Att vårt klimat är i förändring och att valen vi gör måste förändras blir allt mer påtagligt. Våra transportsystem är i omställning mot mer förnybara drivmedel och ett val som många idag gör är att skaffa sig en elbil. Elbilarna behöver framförallt kunna laddas från elnätet vid förarens bostad, där bilen oftast står parkerad under natten. Olika typer av laddstationer uppförs därför i bostadsmiljöeThe development of the transportation system is transitioning to use renewable fuels and in Sweden, many people are now choosing to buy electric cars. Primarily, the electric cars need to charge from the electric grid, usually at the driver’s residence, where the car is parked during the night. Different types of charging stations are thereby built in residential areas. Problems usually do not occ

Nya system skapar svårigheter då man inte kan använda redan etablerade metaforer, designer eller sätt att beskriva och prata om systemet. Detta arbetet ämnar att underlätta arbetet med sådana system genom att erbjuda designprinciper och metodiker för att jobba med dem och undersöka vilka svårigheter man behöver vara medveten om. För att forma och testa nya designprinciper och metodiker så genomföOne of the difficulties in designing new products is the absence of already tried metaphors, designs or ways to talk about the system. This thesis focuses on methods and practises one could potentially use when designing something new - and if there are any challenges one need to aware of as a designer of such a system. In order to devise, and test, these practices and methods, an example system

Timing är ett begrepp som är vanligt förekommande och högt värdesatt inom den afroamerikanska musiken. Trots det tycks det inte finnas en klar gemensam uppfattning kring vad begreppet egentligen innebär och i jämförelse med andra musikaliska element tycks även undervisningsmetodik i ämnet vara eftersatt. Denna studie syftar främst till att tydliggöra begreppet timing men också begreppet sväng som The term timing is often used and is highly regarded within the context of Afro-American music. Even so, there does not seem to be a clear common understanding of what the concept really means and also, in comparison with other musical elements, teaching methodology on the subject seems to be neglected. This study primarily aims to clarify the concept of timing, but also that of the term groove wh

This study investigates the role of China in the development of Cambodia’s building construction sector and identifies some of the perceived impacts of China’s foreign direct investment on the livelihood of the Cambodian local people including construction workers in Phnom Penh. It rests on two theoretical/conceptual frameworks: sustainable development and dependency theory. The methods conducted

Museums today try to combat the exclusionary ground on which they were founded, with strategies of broader inclusion. In Århus, Denmark the Women’s museums vision is to be a museum for ”all genders”. In this thesis I investigate the approach to gender in the Women’s museum’s exhibition Køn Redelighed (eng. Gender Blender) (2017-2022), through a queer theoretic lense of gender as a hybrid and discu

En genomgående trend i alla företag och industrier är att deras förmåga att producera data växer fortare än deras förmåga att lagra den, och detta gäller även hos CellaVision som producerar mikroskopiska blodcellsbilder. Lösningen är att komprimera bilderna med konsekvensen att viss information förloras. Vi har använt oss av djupinlärnings-metoder för att rekonstruera den försvunna datan i bildernThis thesis investigates the use of convolutional neural networks as a reconstruction or JPEG- deblocking model for JPEG-compressed blood cell images, needed due to the well known block artifacts caused by JPEG-compression. CellaVision develops automated microscopy for blood analysis that detects and classifies blood cells from images. The automated analysis is carried out on high resolu- tion mic

Using van Dijks’ critical discourse analysis as a theoretical and methodological point of departure, this paper strives to analyze the ways in which gang-related crime is illustrated in the Swedish media. This study seeks to outline how the media portrays the problems, causes and proposed solutions of gang-related crime. This thesis is descriptive in nature, and does not intend to argue or investi

Investment behavior is strongly affected by the level of risk we are willing to take and to what extent we believe an investment is going to be successful. It has been found in previous experiments that men and women tend to have different risk preferences and beliefs, with dissimilar investment behavior as consequence. In this study risk preferences and beliefs among men and women are elicited wi
