This thesis analyzes how the field of library and information science is constituted in 580 theses written between 2000-2010, by library and information science students at the three Swedish universities Borås, Uppsala and Lund. Furthermore, I investigate how the findings from the three universities differ from each other and how the results as a whole can be understood in relation to libraries an
Denna uppsats problematiserar och undersöker målbolagsstyrelsens ställning vid offentliga uppköpserbjudanden genom att belysa oklarheter som råder kring målbolagsstyrelsens agerande, framförallt till följd av att ABL inte har anpassats till takeover-reglerna och vice versa. Målbolagsstyrelsens komplexa ställning exemplifieras i denna uppsats av en utredning av vilka överväganden och vilket aktiebo
This study aimed to explore the effect of group conversation about injustice using methods from Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACTr) in a theatre setting. The objective was to reduce prejudice, psychological inflexibility with stigma and white fragility as well as increase compassion and behavioural intentions towards equality, among a sample of Swedish adults. An interactive conversational t
This thesis has as a purpose the investigation of sustainable requirements compliance with regards to competition in public procurement contracts. This paper looks into Directive 2014/24 and notably its primary law influence in order to understand the legal foundations underlying sustainability and competition. It showcases, firstly, that Article 18(1) wording and legal interpretation provides a l
Online sexual activities (OSA) are any sexual behaviours done using the Internet and are divided into non-arousal, partnered-arousal, and solitary-arousal activities. The means of accessing the Internet have extended past the traditional home computer and the rapid evolution of personal digital devices has lead to a lag in the measurement of OSA. There is also little understanding of the underlyin
This qualitative mixed methods case study aims to seek understanding of employer branding within the public sector from a New Public Management perspective. The chosen case is two campaigns from the Swedish Armed Forces of 2011 and 2019. Due to political changes in Sweden, the Swedish Armed Forces faced major organizational changes regarding their staffing. Through a text analysis of the commer
The animosities between India and Pakistan have been continuous since partition of British India over seven decades ago. Disputes over Kashmir and the rivers flowing through the region can be said to represent a nucleus of the tensions between the two countries. Due to environmental stress and population growth, hydropolitics is persistently being set under pressure. Three security frames, nationa
SARS [Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome] penetrated China in spring of 2003, created havoc in the social society, exposed weaknesses within the political system and pushed the nation towards a crisis of confidence. At the same time the crisis revitalised the Party's position, brought people from different social stratum together and had a beneficial impact on the populace's knowledge on he
Because corporations trade on the international markets and the governments regulate on domestic markets, conflicts between government regulations are difficult to avoid. Several authors have introduced different ways to avoid this type of conflict. One alternative, which is also proposed by the EU Commissioner Monti, is the inclusion of minimum regulation in the World Trade Organization, by which
En leverantör som upplever att den upphandlande myndigheten har gjort avsteg från föreskrifterna i upphandlingsdokumenten och/eller från det upphandlingsrättsliga regelverket, har en vidsträckt möjlighet att ansöka om överprövning av upphandlingen. Under de senaste åren har dock en rad åtgärder vidtagits i syfte att göra den svenska överprövningsprocessen mer effektiv och förutsebar. Bland annat hA tenderer who feels that the contracting authority has deviated from the specifications in the procurement documents and/or is in breach of the procurement legislation, has a vast opportunity to apply for a review procedure. However, during the last couple of years, several actions have been taken with the aim of making the Swedish review procedure more efficient and predictable. For instance, re
Nämndemän har varit med och påverkat dömandet i våra domstolar i mer än 800 år. Deras inflytande har varierat en del under århundradena men aldrig har de haft så stor domsmakt som idag. I tingsrätten dömer vanligtvis fyra domare varav en är juridiskt utbildad (ordföranden) och tre är nämndemän. I röstningsförfarandet väger allas röst lika tungt. Det är kommunfullmäktige som väljer vilka som ska siLay judges have been able to influence the judgments in our courts for more than 800 years. Their influence has varied somewhat over the centuries but never have they had such great judicial power as today. In District Courts there are usually four judges, one of whom is legally trained and three who are lay judges. In the voting process every judge has the same power. The city council decides who
Background There is a widespread consensus that aid alone will not be able to solve the development challenges facing Africa, with Kenya being no exception. The challenges are simply too great. One potential way to facilitate growth while also making it more inclusive is to use impact investing. Impact investing could be defined as investments made with the intention of yielding a financial return
Recent qualitative and quantitative research on the interrelationships between innovation, job quality and employment shows a strong association between job quality and product, process, and to a lesser extent organizational innovation. This is theorized as the interaction of two systems – job quality and innovation systems. Increased employment and improved job quality are found to result from in
Generellt sett gäller tvister vad som har inträffat i verkligheten och parternas faktaberättelser består av faktiska omständigheter. Vilken betydelse som en omständighet får för utgången av en tvist avgörs av vilken processrättslig kategori som omständigheten hänförs till. Vilka omständigheter som parterna måste åberopa för att domstolen ska få beakta dem avgörs av reglerna om åberopsbörda. När paDisputes generally revolve around what, in reality, has occurred and the parties, therefore, tend to focus on presenting different stories as to how the dispute arose in the first instance. In deciding which series of events should form the basis for the application of the law in question, the court seeks guidance from a plethora of procedural rules. These rules state (i) which party must provide
Inom den arbetsmarknadspolitiska verksamheten är begreppen arbetslös och företagare, samt deras förhållande till varandra, inte närmre definierat i författning. Detta trots att en individs arbetslöshet ofta är ett krav för att få del av stöd och insatser inom denna verksamhet. Att bedöma när en individ är arbetslös är vidare särskilt problematiskt i de fall individen har företagsengagemang. I uppWhen discussing labor market policy activities, the definitions for unemployed and business owner, and their relationship to each other, are not clearly defined in the statute. This in spite of an individual’s unemployment often being a requirement to qualify for support and measures within these activities. To assess whether an individual is unemployed or not is particularly difficult in cases wh
Finland has had a steep decline in fertility since 2010, which has yet to show any signs of slowing down. This is highly problematic for a country like Finland which has had well below replacement level fertility over the past five decades. This study analysed previous studies and theories related to fertility, primarily in the Finnish and Nordic contexts. Moreover the author performed his own eco
Med SOU 2017:98 Tidiga förhör – nya bevisregler i brottmål föreslås en utökad möjlighet att använda dokumenterade förhör från förundersökningen som bevis i domstol. I uppsatsen berör jag den del av förslaget som innebär att utsagor som parter och vittnen lämnar i bevissyfte i större utsträckning ska dokumenteras med ljud och bild under förundersökningen och sedan presenteras i domstol. Detta innebWith SOU 2017:98 Early interrogations - new evidence rules in criminal cases an extended opportunity is given, to use documented interrogations from the preliminary investigation as evidence in court. In this essay I investigate the part of the bill concerning that statements left by parties, and witnesses for evidence purposes, should be documented using audio and video during preliminary investi
Upphandlingar avbryts frekvent och lämnar leverantörer med onödiga deltagandekostnader och förlorade chanser till kontrakt. Denna uppsats syftar till att klargöra rättsläget vad gäller möjligheten till upphandlingsrättsligt skadestånd vid felaktigt avbrutna upphandlingar. I uppsatsen undersöks under vilka förutsättningar en upphandling får avbrytas, möjligheterna till ersättning vid en felaktigt aDuring a public procurement, it is not uncommon that contracting authorities make a withdrawal of the invitation to tender. Such cancellation of the procurement leaves suppliers, or service providers, with unnecessary costs and lost chances of receiving a contract. The ambition of this thesis is to clarify the possibility to receive compensation, within the regulation of public procurement, when a
År 1979 införde Sverige ett uttryckligt agaförbud. Stadgandet i 6 kap. 1 § föräldrabalken, (FB) innebär att föräldrar inte får utsätta barn för kroppslig bestraffning eller annan kränkande behandling. Agaförbudet är en markering från lagstiftarens sida om att barn är extra skyddsvärda. Enligt motiven till 6 kap. 1 § FB är det dock oundvikligt att föräldrar erkänns rätten att övervinna fysiskt motsIn year 1979 a ban on corporal punishment was introduced in Swedish law. According to Children and Parents Code (CPC), parents cannot practice any form of physical punishment upon their children. Hence, the ban on corporal punishment can be considered a clear statement declaring that the protection of children is a matter of high relevance in the Swedish society. However, there is an ambiguity in
