This study of ten micro and small scale businesses owned and management by Tanzanian women in Dar es Salaam aimed at fulfilling two purposes; to highlight male biased assumptions and gender blindness in the discourse and discursive practices on entrepreneurship as well as exploring women’s own perceptions of identity and gender.

Som studenter vid Lunds Universitet och Enheten för media- och kommunikationsvetenskap har vi funnit att svensk media mer och mer har börjat uppmärksamma och belysa personer med funktionsnedsättning. Vi ser dessa individer i allt ifrån tidningsartiklar till i långfilmer. Intresset har legat i hur dessa personer framställs och vad det är för typ av bild som media väljer att belysa. Vi har valt att

EU-rättens arbetsrättslagstiftning hade i sitt inledningsskede främst till syfte att undvika konkurrenshinder och att säkra den fria rörligheten. Med tiden utvecklades dock arbetsrätten till att lägga större fokus på det sociala området, sociala handlingsprogram antogs och att uppnå jämlikhet mellan könen blev med tiden något eftersträvansvärt. Utvecklingen fortsatte och likabehandlingsdirektivet The labour legislation in the EU had in its early stages the purpose to avoid barriers of competition and to ensure the free movement within the union. Over time, as EU labour law developed, a greater focus was put on social matters and achieving gender equality became desirable. As a part of this development, the Equal Treatment Directive was adopted. The Directive regulated equal opportunities i

Under 2008 svarade EU:s offentliga upphandling för 17-18 procent av EU:s BNP. Huruvida offentliga medel skall kunna användas som instrument för att förverkliga politiska ambitioner eller om upphandlande myndighet endast skall ta hänsyn till ekonomiska aspekter har varit föremål för diskussion. Jag har valt att kartlägga de normgivande regelverk som reglerar arbetsrättslig hänsyn vid offentlig upphIn 2008 public procurement made up 17-18 percent of the EU GDP. The issue of whether the disbursement of public funds can be used to promote social objectives, including preservation of labour law requirements or whether public authorities only shall take economic considerations into account when deciding what to purchase, has been subject to discussion. In this thesis, I have chosen to describe t

This master’s thesis in Library and Information Science concerns the relationship between librarians and users, and focuses on how it is constructed in scholarly articles about Library 2.0.

Ett olovligt bortförande eller kvarhållande föreligger när ett barn under sexton år har blivit bortfört eller kvarhållet i en stat, som inte utgör barnets hemvist, i strid med vårdnadshavarens vilja. 1980 års Haagkonvention, som har införlivats i svensk rätt genom verkställighetslagen (VerkstL), har utarbetats i syfte att skydda de barn som har blivit olovligen bortförda eller kvarhållna mellan laThe 1980 Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction (Hague Convention), incorporated into Swedish law by the verkställighetslagen (VerkstL), aims to protect children from the harmful effects of cross-border abduction. Under the Hague Convention, the legal guardian of the child in his or her state of habitual residence enjoys ‘rights of custody’ over that child. The removal or

The Internet poses new challenges to the legal world. One of those challenges is the sale of someone else’s trademark as a keyword in different referencing service programs on the Internet. This issue has, in the recent years become an important topic and a much-litigated issue. The referencing service providers earn big profits on their referencing service programs and the biggest provider for a

Coniferous as spruce (more specifically Norway spruce, Picea abies) and deciduous species like European beech (Fagus sylvatica) and oak (Quercus spp.) co exist in south Sweden. In perspective of climate change, species composition of Swedish forests is assumed to change. Observed climate on the period 1950-2010 prove that a general warming trend is occurring in southern Sweden, and that vegetation

The status of Western Sahara has since 1975 been a controversial topic in international relations. Morocco claims that the territory rightfully belongs to them while Polisario, the representative of the Sahrawi’s, are of the dichotomous opinion and demands independence. In this paper I will examine the statement that Western Sahara in the long run would be to weak and too poor to survive as a stat

Sponsorship is currently a concept to be reckoned with. The development has been rapid in recent decades and the law has still not brought complete clarity whether sponsorship should be seen as promotion or gift. There is evidence that sponsorship cannot be seen in black or white. The right to deduct that exists for the promotion does not apply to gifts, which can have a major impact on the sponso

The purpose of this thesis is to provide a contribution to the current waged debate concerning the validity of Carl von Clausewitz’s theories regarding actors engaged in the acts of war. These thoughts have been suggested to be obsolete in the post-cold war era whereas the new wars theories have emerged and modified and challenged the classical knowledge of the very nature of war. The theoretical

The purpose of this paper is to assess and attempt to

I denna uppsats undersöker jag föreställningar kring incestuösa relationer omkring sekelskiftet 1700. På den tiden definierades incest med religiösa argument och släktskap baserat på blodsband jämställdes med släktskap som uppstått efter äktenskap. En man var med andra ord enligt lagen lika förbjuden att gifta sig med sin egen syster som med sin avlidna hustrus syster. Med hjälp av hovrättsmateria

This paper examines how cyber warfare as a new empirical phenomenon can be understood and explained through the classical security theory of realism. As states begin to view cyberspace as part of their strategic interest, the main divisions of neorealism provide different explanations as to the intentions and interactions of states. The hypothesis of this paper is that realism is not enough to und

This essay focus on Sri Lanka’s way towards a wished positive peace and its difficulties.
