Prenatal diagnosis is a medical tool that has been utilised in Sweden since the 1960s to help expecting mothers find out the health status of the fetus. In 2006, the Swedish government introduced a new law, stipulating a pregnant woman’s right to receive general information about prenatal diagnosis. A woman’s autonomy is the government’s main concern, and poses the question of how disability is pe
Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att argumentera för en individuell föräldraförsäkring. Den svenska föräldraförsäkringen studeras utifrån ett rättighetsperspektiv, något som tidigare har saknats. Föräldraförsäkringen är idag en grupprättighet och stor del av min teori har därför kretsat kring grupprättigheter och individuella rättigheter. I analysen av förarbetena till föräldraförsäkringen blir det
The European Union is currently managing two projects heading under the names Europe for Citizens Programme and Culture Programme. The main aims of these projects interconnect in several interesting ways; they both have to do with questions of a cultural heritage of Europe related to the EU-citizenship. Investigating the relationship between cultural patterns and the EU-citizenship is the central
Denna uppsats behandlar medias skildring av den svenska Libyeninsatsen, hur svenska dagstidningar över tid, utifrån ett rättfärdighetsperspektiv framställde det svenska deltagandet i Libyeninsatsen. Vi har gjort detta genom att lyfta fram artiklar från sex utvalda datum, från de tre största tryckta dagstidningarna i Sverige, Dagens Nyheter, Göteborgs-Posten och Svenska Dagbladet, då de ger undersö
The construction industry both in Sweden and abroad suffers from low productivity and quality related issues. This work investigates how discrete-event simulation can be used in planning of construction related productions systems. The purpose of this work is to develop a model which simulates on-site construction activities in terms of time, cost and resource usage. A model was developed which si
Afghanistan is the one country in the world with the most oppression against women. Meanwhile, Sweden, which is one of Afghanistan's many aid-givers, is one of the countrys in the world with most equality between men and women. Equality and women's rights are thereby a priority in Sweden international development strategies, as well is the Swedish strategy for their developing-aid in Afgha
In the late 19th century, many Swedes were committed to a new wave of religious revivalism. Trough these new Christian congregations, several vast efforts were made to bring the gospel of salvation to people in parts of the world that many Swedes at this time had not even heard of. Of those who responded to their inner calling, left everything they knew and became missionaries, a notable share wer
This work is divided in two parts related to repair and strengthening of engineering structures: the first part deals with the design for strengthening of concrete structures by carbon fiber composites. The work focuses on a design program that had to be corrected before being released on the market according to the following steps: presentation of design rules and materials, development of an own
The war on terror declared after 9/11 has affected the way we view the laws of war as well as the concept of war itself. The purpose of this essay is to examine the so called Bybee memo, named after its author, that lays out the United States policy regarding prisoners taken in connection with the conflict in Afghanistan, and if the war on terror falls under the protection of the Geneva convention
Historically, traditional concrete floors have performed well with regard to vibration serviceability. This is much due to their heavy weight. However, the use of stronger concrete materials and prestressing has resulted in slender cross sections and the possibility to build long-span floor elements. The combination of long span and relatively light weight means that the floor element is more sens
Syftet med denna rapport är att med hjälp av de utförda mätningarna som bas simulera köer på Ölandsbron. Därefter beräkna moment för de simulerade köerna och jämföra dessa moment med motsvarande moment som beräknas enligt bronormer.
The increasing traffic on both railways and roads increases the risk of accidental collision with bridges and buildings. One way to prevent disproportionate collapse of structures if an unforeseen accident occurs is to make the structure robust. A structure that is robust has the ability to withstand progressive collapse initiated by local failures. The aim of this Master thesis is to study the te
The purpose of my essay is primarily to highlight the relevance of an obligation perspective, but also to draw attention to the problems related to e-waste. In my theory, I have mainly used the Onora O'Neill literature on the subject of obligations. To limit my working area, I have chosen to look at the legal and moral obligations. Further delineation is done by focusing on the obligations of
Den vanligaste byggmetoden för flerbostadshus i Sverige är att stommen gjuts på byggarbetsplatsen. Tidigare examensarbeten har visat att stor potential finns för att förbättra samordningen mellan platsgjuten stomme och installationer för att under kortare tid färdigställa betongstommen. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att identifiera och analysera tekniska lösningar samt förbättringsmöjligheter
Tegelskalmurar byggda mellan 1940 och 1980 uppvisar idag omfattande skador på grund av rostande armering och kramlor, framför allt ovanför öppningar där armering finns i det understa tegelskiftet. Då dessa skador reparerats har ofta valet av ersättningstegel och fogbruk inte överensstämt med de ursprungliga materialen i fasaden. Ur gestaltningssynpunkt förändras fasaden till det sämre då helhetsin
In Sweden freedom of Speech is declared as a fundamental civil and serves as a prerequisite to the freedom of opinion within its constitutions, and is also enhanced by Sweden’s implementation of the European Convention on Human Rights. Sweden’s constitutional system also protects and regulates freedom of speech further through a divided and delegated system. However, as a result of difficult econo
The objective with this master thesis is to analyze how the service life of wood in ground contact, with regard to decay, varies between different test fields. Different factors are evaluated whether it is possible to estimate the service life of a specimen in a specific test field. Also the influence of the climate on the service life in different test fields is investigated by calculated climate
Uppsatsen undersöker genretillhörighet av Youtubevideoklippet ”La Blogotheque – The Kooks/ Ooh la” som ingår i en grupp av nya medietexter ”live music sessions”. Analysen av videoklippets substans, form och funktion visar på att videoklippet är en genrehybrid som dels följer genrekonventioner av rockdokumentärgenren och dels konventioner av genren av fanproducerade Youtubevideor. Formandet av den
Skyddet för arbetstagare mot felaktiga uppsägningar sker genom flera olika regleringar i svensk och fransk arbetsrätt. När det gäller uppsägning på grund av arbetsbrist skyddas arbetstagaren genom arbetsgivarens omplaceringsskyldighet, turordningsreglerna, rätten till återanställning samt genom kravet på att uppsägningen ska vara sakligt grundad. Det är den i princip alltid om det är fråga om arbeThere are several rules in Swedish and French labor law to protect the employee against unfair dismissal. When it comes to dismissal due to redundancy the employee is protected by the obligation on the employer to find the employee alternative work, the priority rules, the priority right to reemployment and by the requirement of a just cause. In Sweden, a dismissal due to redundancy is in principl
Alla människor har ett värde som ligger i deras egenskap av att vara just människor. Men att vara människa är inte vad vi aktivt blir definierade som utan i första hand kan identiteter såsom ”elev” komma. Syftet med min uppsats är att undersöka huruvida den svenska grundskolan har en fullständig potential till att respektera sina elevers människovärde trots att de främst blir sedda som elever. FörEvery human being has a value in itself solely on the ground that they are human beings. But a human being is not what you are first and foremost defined as, but rather, for example a “pupil”. The purpose of this essay is to examine whether the Swedish elementary school has the full potential of respecting its’ pupils’ human worth. In order to achieve this I have intertwined threads from philosoph
