This thesis explores the activism of AUB students for social and political change promoting secularism on campus and in the Lebanese society and politics. It draws from 17 interviews, a focus group and observations during four months of fieldwork. It looks into the ways how members of the AUB Secular Club employ the notion of secularism, and how diversity in the AUB campus facilitates the collecti
Sexuella övergrepp utgör en mycket allvarlig integritetskränkning. För att motarbeta dessa övergrepp krävs ett starkt och välutvecklat straffrättsligt skydd. Som en följd härav har våldtäktslagstiftningen, allt sedan brottsbalkens (BrB) ikraftträdande år 1965, utvecklats till att bli alltmer offercentrerad, inkluderande och avancerad. Det är uppenbart att det rör sig om sena reformer, men icke desSexual abuses constitute a very serious integrity violation. To counter these abuses requires a strong and well-developed criminal law. As a consequence, ever since the Penal Code (PC) entered into force in 1965, the rape legislation has developed to become ever more victim-centered, inclusive and advanced. It is obvious it’s about late reforms, but nonetheless clearly that the judicial system has
Förenta Nationernas fredsbevarande operationer har under nästan två decennier besvärats av anklagelser om sexuellt utnyttjande av och sexuella övergrepp på civilbefolkningar. Flera rapporter visar inte bara att organisationens fredsbevarande styrkor begår dessa brott mot just de människor de fått i uppdrag att beskydda, utan också att de undgår ansvar och straff. Denna uppsats undersöker och utvärUnited Nations peacekeeping operations have, for the better part of two decades, been plagued by allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse of local civilian populations. Several reports indicate not only that peacekeepers exploit and abuse the very people they were sent to protect, but also that these crimes routinely go unpunished. This thesis examines and evaluates the different methods of ho
Are our cities prepared for the growing and rapid urbanization expected for the coming years? How do the new social, economic and environmental challenges affect the urban context, specifically informal settlements? How can we rethink sustainable urban design in vulnerable areas? To tackle these questions, this study will have a closer look at Port Elizabeth, a coastal city in South Africa, to und
Malmö city has decided to change their routines regarding aid to housing. The routines now contain a division between who is entitled to get aid from social services and who is not, that is between people in social homelessness and people in structural homelessness. Prior to the change, this division did not exist. The aim of this study was therefore to explore how the governing documents legitimi
Organizational identity has been mostly researched through a managerial perspective, where employees are given a secondary role. This thesis approaches identity from a dynamic perspective and explores how librarian identity is enacted in daily interactions between librarians and patrons, whilst considering any implications for the organization. The research focuses on a single case where participa
Personal på sjukhusavdelningar upplever ett antal problem kopplade till administrativa uppgifter. Bland dessa problem ingår att behöva dokumentera samma information i flera system, samt svårigheter vid överlämningar mellan skift. Den nuvarande produkten Pulstavlan, utvecklad av Stretch Care AB, har som mål att lösa dessa problem. Pulstavlan är dock stationär och möjliggör därför inte för vårdpersoStaff in hospital wards experience a number of issues related to administrative tasks. These problems include needing to document the same information in multiple systems, and difficulties in shift handovers between staff members. The existing product Pulstavlan, developed by Stretch Care AB, aims to solve these issues. However, as the product is stationary, it does not enable staff to bring the i
Abstract Aim: Today there is a double-sided challenge for the transport sector. First, it needs to adapt and be able to respond to an increasing demand in mobility of goods. Second, pressure is increasing to adopt to low-emission mobility strategies. As the phenomenon of growing environmental awareness is increasing in general in Sweden, this study sets out to investigate if this is something tha
Using government auctions to distribute subsidies and locations for renewable energy sources is a good way to receive signals about the cost of renewables. This thesis studies the relationship between auction design and auction prices in Renewable Energy Support (RES) auctions in Europe. The price outcomes of first-price and second-price auctions are compared empirically, as well as auctions with
The Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket) enjoys one of the highest approval ratings of any Swedish government agency. This has not always been the case, and from an international perspective, it is uncommon for a tax agency to enjoy high approval ratings. The Skatteverket phenomenon puts forth the question of to which degree other government agencies can use the agency as a positive example. Furtherm
Våldsförbudet är en av folkrättens mest fundamentala regleringar och förbjuder allt mellanstatligt våld. Ett av undantagen till våldsförbudet är självförsvarsrätten som ger stater som blir utsatta för ett väpnat angrepp en rätt till självförsvar. En mycket omdebatterad fråga inom folkrätten är om självförsvarsrätten inte bara skall gälla mot en annan stat, utan även mot icke-statliga aktörer. En dOne of the most fundamental regulations in international law is the prohibition on the use of force, which forbids all violence between states. The right to self-defence is one of the exceptions to the prohibition and gives states that have been victims of an armed attack a right to self-defence. A much-debated question within international law is if the right to self-defence should be applicable
"House flipping” som innebär att man förvärvar, renoverar och sedan säljer bostäder med vinst har blivit alltmer populärt i dagens samhälle. Detta har lett till att en osäkerhet kring beskattningskonsekvenserna för privatpersoner har vuxit fram. Detta eftersom reglerna ger utrymme för att en privatperson kan bedriva näringsverksamhet och därmed även kan beskattas som sådan. Detta leder ti"House flipping” is the term used for describing the process of acquiring, renovating and selling properties for profit. In today’s society this has become increasingly more popular which has led to an uncertainty regarding the taxation consequences for individuals. This is because of the legal possibility of an individual being considered a business for tax purposes. This has led to uncer
Vid alla rättsliga förfaranden som rör barn ska principen om barnets bästa beaktas. Principen är väl omdiskuterad och det finns ingen universell fastslagen definition. Internationella adoptioner är en av processerna som ska utgå från principen. Detta stadgas i såväl nationell lagstiftning som internationella konventioner. Rådande diskurs om internationella adoptioner har under de senaste decennierIn every legal process regarding children, the principle of best interests of the child must be considered. The principle is well discussed and does not have a universal determined definition. Intercountry adoption is one of the proceedings that must consider the principle. This is stipulated in both national and international law. During the last decades, the prevailing view on intercountry adopt
Den 7 oktober 2020 presenterades utredningen Ett särskilt hedersbrott, SOU 2020:57, med förslaget att låta brott med hedersmotiv utgöra en egen brottsrubricering. För att utreda om det vore befogat att införa lagförslaget i brottsbalken analyseras det utifrån några utvalda principer och teorier för kriminalisering. Trots att heder är ett problematiskt och svårdefinierat begrepp kan några karaktäOn October 7, 2020 the investigation Ett särskilt hedersbrott, SOU 2020:57, was presented, with a proposal to let crimes with honor motives constitute a specific criminal provision. In order to investigate if it would be justified to introduce in the Penal Code, the proposal will be analyzed on the basis of some selected principles and theories for criminalization. Although honor is a problemati
Due to the focus of their study program, environmental and sustainability students are vulnerable to experience negative emotional impacts, potentially affecting their mental health. This thesis contributes to increased understanding of emotions and emotional resilience in relation to the climate crisis by examining experienced emotions, studying the power students have over their emotions, and po

Den här uppsatsen undersöker skillnaden hur långtgående arbetsgivarens rehabiliteringsansvar är vid olika beroendesjukdomar. I huvudsak berörs alkohol- och narkotikaberoende av sjukdomskaraktär och ett fokus ligger på när rehabiliteringsansvaret avslutas. En rättsdogmatisk ansats har använts för att undersöka skillnader och likheter mellan rehabiliteringsansvaret för både narkotika- och alkoholber
Rapid growth of metropolitan areas calls for increased efficiency of land use, and subsequently more and longer tunnels than ever before are being built. The complexity of the tunnel itself, as well as considerations of spatial planning and infrastructure calls for risk management and effective methods to accomplish tunnel safety. In Sweden, it makes best practise to use safety concept to deal wit
