Although access to the internet is increasingly recognised as a critical right, the increasing criminalisation of copyright infringements and its consequent constitutional concerns reflects not only an ever widening gap between the legislative prescriptions and the broader societal expectations but may also raise constitutional concerns that may undermine that right of access. Drawing on the premi

Det kinesiska skriftspråket tros vara circa 3500 år gammalt och kan därför även ses som en uråldrig bärare av kinesisk historia och kultur. Under början av 1900-talet hade den västerländska världen kommit ikapp och utvecklats långt före ett kaotiskt Kina som dessutom bestod av en hög andel analfabeter. Det kinesiska skriftspråket fick en del av skulden för att mittens rike hamnat på efterkälken oc

The goal in this project was to design a system that will provide the women in the townships of Namibia with affordable nutritious food without having to use too much money, water or time. The system should be both built and used by the women themselves and hence be very easy and flexible. How do you get enough food to survive the day? This is something less fortunate people living in many parts o

To produce food that ends up being thrown away is a big unnecessary climate impact which is easily avoided by just treating the product in a different way. There are many reasons why food waste appears, it could be that the “best before” date has expired, the product has been damaged or it is something wrong with it from the beginning. The biggest reason for food waste is that the “best before” da

This project started from a will to understand and reflect over our behaviours and ourselves; as designers, as individuals and as users. The first part of the project reflects this will through a deep research on two intertwined, polarized yet highly mutually dependent Human attributes; rational thinking on the one hand and emotional thinking on the other. The research has an open end; it gives an

Recent years have seen an explosion in innovative and sustainable mobility service offerings, especially car sharing and bike sharing. The latter contribute to sustainability by reducing individual car ownership, which has negative social, economic and especially environmental consequences. Yet, both industrial and academic discourses point out that no single mobility service is enough to meet the

When the Muslim armies for the first time crossed the Strait of Gibraltar in 711 a prospering epoch of Moorish culture and science started in Southern Spain. In today´s Southern region of Spain, Andalucia, there are still to find impressive Moorish buildings and the Muslim-Andalusian spirit is still present generating emotional and religious impulses. This bachelor thesis in European Studies with

Inför budgetpropositionen 2014 remitterades det från Finansdepartementet en promemoria innehållande ett antal ändringsförslag i olika skattefrågor. Ett av dessa förslag berörde de så kallade 3:12-reglerna och gick bland annat ut på att det skulle införas ett krav på att en delägare i ett fåmansbolag skulle äga minst 5 % av bolaget för att få tillgodogöra sig lönebaserat utdelningsutrymme. Trots

Kriminaliseringen av samrådsparagrafen i 12:6 1st MB kommer att stå i fokus för denna uppsats. Den allmänna samrådsplikten är kriminaliserad sedan miljöbalkens ikraftträdande och denna uppsats ifrågasätter huruvida denna kriminalisering är legitim eller inte. För att utreda detta har uppsatsen presenterats utifrån följande frågor: • När är 12:6 1st miljöbalken tillämplig? • Varför har underlåtenh

I uppsatsen vill vi undersöka den makt som utövas i kulturpolitiken. Det är angeläget för statsvetenskaplig forskning att studera kulturpolitik, då kulturen inte kan särskiljas från resten av samhället. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur finansieringsprojektet Kulturbryggan kan förstås i relation till nyliberal diskurs. Då Kulturbryggan delar ut bidrag till fria konstprojekt, vill vi även u

Innan Edward Snowden erbjöds politisk asyl i Ryssland avslogs en liknande ansökan av allt att döma av kinesiska myndigheter när Snowden dessförinnan befann sig i Hong Kong. Denna uppsats fokuserar på vilka faktorer som kan tänkas ligga bakom Rysslands beslut att erbjuda Snowden politisk asyl efter att Kina valt att inte göra det. Faktorerna bakom respektive beslut analyseras genom användandet av d

Differences in technological traditions we find between Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans has long been debated. It is important to discuss whether the differences in the handling of flint and other raw materials between the two populations . The use of raw materials are obviously directly related to the production of tools used to acquire food . Besides the quality of the material, also

Ukrainian foreign policy was under presidents Kravchuk and Kutchma predominantly a game of lip service to European integration combined with a reluctant but steady political co-operation with Russia. When Viktor Yushchenko was brought to power after the Orange Revolution in 2004 the political game changed and real steps towards a deep political and economical integration with Europe were quickly t

Syftet med denna uppsats är att redogöra för regleringen av självförvållad berusning i svensk och tysk straffrätt, och dess förhållande till grundläggande straffrättsliga principer. Utmärkande för problematiken kring självförvållad berusning är stridigheterna mellan kriminalpolitiska effektivitetsskäl å ena sidan, och den grundläggande straffrättsliga skuldprincipen å andra sidan. I svensk rätt reThe aim of this essay is to investigate the regulation of self-induced intoxication in Swedish and German criminal law and its relation with fundamental rule of law-principles. Characteristic for this problematic area is the incompatibility between the legislator’s criminal policy on the one hand, and fundamental rule of law principles as the principle of culpability on the other hand. In Swedish

Straffrätten har tidigare varit inriktad huvudsakligen på vedergällning efter förtjänst. Numera är dock prevention ett alltmer dominerande inslag som genomsyrar hela rättsapparaten. Brott och skada ska i största möjliga utsträckning förebyggas, både på polisiär nivå och lagstiftningsnivå. Uppsatsen tar sikte på självständiga kriminaliseringar av gärningar som i sig själva inte innebär någon skada,The Swedish Criminal Law has traditionally been based on retribution. In modern times, however, it seems that prevention has been given a much larger role in the Criminal Justice System. This essay discusses crimes that do not cause any harm themselves, but where the criminalization aims at preventing that serious harm occurs at a later stage. Three Swedish crimes have been selected as examples: c

In today's modern society, there is a trend that different societal functions are more interconnected, both by the use of technology and by shared service providers. The amount of connections in the societal system makes it impossible, without a tool, to take all consequential effects of a perturbation in consideration. The concept of urban flows is previously developed to help resolve this is

The paper discusses the changing conditions for (political) deception in the information-age. Starting off with a short overview of how previous knowledge-traditions; mythology, historical accounts and the present-day academia has problematized and conceptualized deception, the paper examines and discusses (political) deception from a political science perspective. Explaining the foundation in est

Land grabbing has rapidly become an important issue in global governance. The recent interlinked crises on food, fuel, climate, and finance have increased the importance of land governance on the global level, and created a complex and fragmented global land governance architecture that involves international institutions, country groups, private actors, NGOs, and international peasant organizatio

Under hösten presenterades en utredning, SOU 2013:62, för att komma åt de problem som Sverige har gällande förbudet mot dubbelbestraffning enligt 4 artikeln, sjunde tilläggsprotokollet Europakonventionen och artikel 50 i EU:s stadga. Detta för att EU-domstolen och Europadomstolen tidigare meddelat att Sveriges system angående skattetillägg och skattebrott inte varit förenligt med dessa bestämmelseIn the fall of 2013 a report was presented, SOU 2013:62, in order to address the problems by the Swedish legislation on the prohibition of the principle ne bis in idem under article 4, Protocol seven ECHR and Article 50 of the EU Charter. The Court and the European Court earlier announced that the Swedish system regarding tax surcharges and criminal sanctions for tax offences, not been consistent

This thesis identifies ten main narratives related to Lithuania in the reporting of five major Swedish newspapers between 2010-2012, and investigates how these narratives have been discursively constructed and why they might have been chosen to serve as a frame of reference for Swedish readers. Through narrative analysis and a theoretical framework including the concepts of ‘narrative’, ‘collectiv
