This paper deals with the Swedish Criminal Code Chapter 6, paragraph 14. The primary aim has been to investigate, from an unbiased and sociology of law perspective, how the regulation is interpreted by the courts, and then compare it to the legislator’s interpretation. My secondary aim has been to analyze what victomological consequences that can arise from an unclear regulation. In order to fulf

Syftet med föreliggande serie fallstudier var att undersöka förändringar hos olika patienter med ångest och depression under behandling med kognitiv beteendeterapi respektive med KBT-behandling och mindfulness-övningar som intervention; samt att beskriva hur KBT respektive KBT med mindfulness-interventioner upplevdes av patienterna. Undersökningen inkluderade två grupper, där den ena gruppen fick
Author: Julie Jacobson Title: In Pursuit of a Healthy Public Sphere: A News Frame Analysis of the Farmer Suicide Phenomenon in Daily English-language Indian Newspapers Supervisor: Annette Hill Examiner: Yiannis Mylonas The motivation behind this thesis is to better understand the role of the media in the construction of the farmer suicide phenomenon in India. Through theories of communication an
As in most places in the world, English is the first language used within development cooperation in Cambodia. Language is not a neutral tool of communication and each language builds on the history and culture in which it has been shaped. Drawing on a theoretical framework often summed up as languages of development, this case study aims to make a contribution to the debate about the importance
This is a qualitative study carried out on basis of documentary studies and interviews in Kampala, Uganda. It is the result of a fieldwork issued in the mentioned location between the 2th of April and 31st of May, 2012. The thesis seeks to evaluate what lies behind the inequalities within the urban socio-spatial landscape in an African city, which will be related to carefully chosen theoretical co
China is increasingly shifting attention to other developing continents, recently particularly towards Latin America. Trade between the Asian giant and Latin America has exponentially grown in the last decade; however, the question arises whether trade cooperation, the exports of mainly primary commodities or related manufactures and the import of manufactures, is beneficial for the Latin American
The pharmaceutical industry is influenced by many aspects and actors that make this industry one of the most complex ones. Packaging is probably the cheapest element that involves a pharmaceutical but it is also a necessary element. In a moment that global warming is topical, how important are the CO2 emissions associated to the pharmaceutical packaging and how much attention the industry puts to
This thesis conducts a cultural analysis of the social implications of food allergies and intolerances and analyzes the interaction of individual experience and social structures by asking what it means when one chooses not to follow the normative food culture, such as with vegetarian and vegan diets, or when one physically cannot, such as in the case of food allergies and intolerances, specifical
Since the 1990s considerable attention has been paid to the European Union and the role it played in international multilateral negotiations. Recognizing that the EU played a leadership role in international climate change negotiations under the UNFCCC since the beginning, this thesis set out to investigate the changes of the EU’s leadership role based on the role and leadership theories. With a p
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Skåne skiljer sig i många avseenden från övriga landet och variationerna i landskapets topografi och geologi är stora. Skåne rymmer därför många olika naturtyper. Tryck- och tänjningsrörelser i berggrunden har resulterat i de stora horstarna (”åsarna”), som genom förkastningsrörelser höjts över omgivande berggrund och bildar stora, långsträckta ryggar i landskapeThe Colonus Shale Trough (CST) is an important tectonic entity in the Sorgenfrei-Tornquist Zone (STZ) in Skåne, southernmost Sweden. The fill comprises a Cambrian through Silurian succession dominated by fine-grained clastic sediments and subordinate limestone. Three deep wells were drilled in 2009–2010 by Shell in order to investigate the possibilities of extracting shale gas from the Cambrian-Or
The ICT revolution has transformed the space for democratic debate on information freedom. Although democratic actors like the US and WikiLeaks both advocate freedom of information, there are obvious discrepancies amongst ideas of how this basic democratic freedom is implemented in the age of information. These democratic discrepancies are analyzed through the lens of Critical Discourse Analysis,
The aim of this thesis is first to contribute to the theorising of the so-called ‘social remittances’. This entails an attempt to put together the reasons that qualifies the flow of social goods from migrant destinations to sending communities as remittances, as well as an endeavour to contribute to definitional clarifications on what constitutes the different natures, levels and types of these re
This paper explores the intersection of new urban spaces and new modalities of ‘homelessness’ in Japanese cities. We argue that the recent social phenomenon of “net café refugees” (netto kafe nanmin – people who substitute ‘manga cafes’ for their domestic residence) is conditioned by new forms of leisure, information technology, social manners, and the longterm contraction of the Japanese domestic
The bottling plant of The Coca-Cola Company caused environmental problems: water shortage and water contamination. The villagers of Plachimada did not have sufficient water supplies for daily use; furthermore, clean water was contaminated and high levels of calcium and magnesium were detected. The villagers in Plachimada started the movements against The Coca-Cola Company and they still demand com
Enligt FN visar siffror från International Labour Organization att så många som 160 miljoner människor världen över idag är utan arbete, delvis som en följd av finanskrisen. Nära 40 procent av dessa tillhör gruppen “arbetslösa ungdomar”. Någon som intresserat sig för problematiken bakom ungdomsarbetslösheten är historieekonomen Peter Håkansson som har skrivit avhandlingen ”Ungdomsarbetslöshet – om
Supersymmetri (SUSY) är en av de teoretiskt bäst motiverade modellerna för fysik bortom standardmodellen (BSM), och en lovande kandidat för upptäckt vid Large Hadron Collider (LHC). ATLAS-kollaborationen har utfört omfattande sökningar efter SUSY-signaturer med hjälp av data från proton-proton kollisioner i LHC, tagna under 2010, 2011 och 2012 års tid vid energier på 7 TeV och mer nyligen 8 TeV. DSupersymmetry (SUSY) is one of the best theoretically motivated beyond the Standard Model (BSM) scenarios, and a favored candidate to be discovered by the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The ATLAS collaboration has been extensively searching for SUSY signatures using 2010, 2011 and 2012 data from LHC proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV and recently at 8 TeV
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate how knowledge sharing is understood and practiced at ConLog, a market leading company in the container shipping industry, as well as to advance a conceptual broader understanding of knowledge sharing and its influencing factors with regard to the existing literature. Methodology: An in-depth field study was carried out for four weeks in which 2
Understanding and assessing the existing welfare structures and patterns in developing countries is essential for the aim of eradicating poverty around the globe. In this case study welfare patterns, accessible by female commercial sex workers operating in a slum area of Kampala, Uganda are investigated. Led by the welfare regime theory by Gough and Wood, information regarding formal and informal
The purpose of this thesis was to explore discourses of insecurity, vulnerability and conflict in Thailand’s Deep South. In order to understand how such discourses are shaped by gender ideologies, the study examines how ideas about men and women are articulated, reproduced and challenged in Thai civil society. Special attention is given to the ways in which men and masculinity are constructed with
