The Millennium Development Goals are addressing the importance of education, because there are a great number of benefits of education, such as child mortality tend to decrease which gives women the option to give birth to fewer children. At the same time, when the Government is not able to provide sufficient education, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are often involved in the process, despi

Ruts bok får inte särskilt ofta uppmärksamhet och hamnar lätt i periferin. Trots detta har det kring berättelsen om moabitiskan Rut, som söker skydd hos israeliten Boas, skapats en variation av tolkningar. Dessa tolkningar kan dels vara att berättelsen talar om hur en främling ansluter sig till JHWH:s utvalda folk eller till kyrkan, dels kan berättelsen tala om kärleken mellan två kvinnor. Dessuto

The questions and the debate on whether or not adoption should be permitted to homosexuals are widespread and controversial. Looking into the guidelines in international conventions, one will find a high amount of ambiguity and vagueness in the formulations and the rhetoric within these conventions on this subject. While the conventions arbitrate a message of equality, homosexuals are often denied

Ett flertal olika faktorer – däribland utbildning, tidigare arbetserfarenheter och personliga egenskaper – avgör tillsammans en arbetssökandes attraktivitet på arbetsmarknaden. I regel står det arbetsgivare fritt att avgöra vilka kriterier som ska vara de mest avgörande på just deras arbetsplats. Vissa inskränkningar finns dock i denna frihet, däribland diskrimineringsförbudet. Inom den statliga There are several different factors – including education, working life experience and personal characteristics – that together determine how attractive a specific job applicant is on the labour market. In general, the employers can freely choose which criteria they value the most when they are recruiting. However, there are some restrictions that the employers need to take into consideration, the

Utifrån intervjuer gjorda i Malmö 2010-2011 beskriver jag hur en ekologisk praktik bestående av att äta och tänka på ekologisk mat är kontroll- och ordningsskapande. Dels menar jag att ett aktivt val av att äta ekologisk mat kan fungera som ett sätt att skapa ordning i en matvärld som upplevs som oordnad i och med den moderna matens främmande och artificiella natur. Dels menar jag att den ekologis

Patents on traditional knowledge and the issue of biopiracy has been a debated issue since the Uruguay Round in the early 1990s. In order to handle this problem, the United Nations established the Convention on Biological Diversity and a subsidiary working group on Access and Benefit Sharing. This is supposed to help traditional knowledge holders claim their rights to benefit sharing when commerci

I vår samtid möter vi ibland påståendet att den kristna förkunnelsen har blivit urvattnad och ytlig för att passa så många som möjligt, och att det i sin tur leder till en tro utan substans. Denna uppsats har som syfte att bemöta om det finns ett underlag för påståendet genom att göra en nutida teologisk och religionsfilosofisk analys av begreppen tro och religion. Analysen av ovan begrepp visar p

Länders kreditbetyg är ständigt i fokus i dagens europeiska skuldkris. I denna uppsats undersöks därför vilka riskpremier som kan förväntas till följd av ändringar i kreditbetyg eller utsikter från något av de tre största kreditvärderingsinstituten; Moody´s, Standard and Poor´s och Fitch. Ett antal ekonometriska modeller konstrueras utifrån ett datamaterial som omfattar 11 EMU-länder under tidsper

Sweden is a member state to the Convention on the rights of the child. Therefore it has to have the child’s best as its primary interest while forming regulations regarding children. In this essay I wanted to explore what implications this requirement had on how the Swedish state should form the statute of limitation on sexual abuse against children and other types of child abuse. I’ve looked at

Child pornography appears to be a criminal offence universally condemned. Nonetheless, a discussion of the artistic value and freedom of speech in contrast to the responsibility to protect our children from commercial sexual exposition has developed in recent years. The purpose of this thesis is therefore to examine the underlying theories and arguments concerning the artistic freedoms and ethics

The Swedish law and policys concerning non-citizens are creating an impossible situation for undocumented migrants to gain access to basic human rights. The national law which is both contradictive and unclear concerning this group also creates difficulties for the individuals and organisations who are trying to supply access to basic rights. The study is built on interviews of six people who in

In January 2014 a new system for archival description will take effect in all Swedish government agencies, as prescribed by the Swedish National archives. This system is based upon the notion of processes as a way to describe organizations; processes containing activities and transactions that renders traces of information. It is a system that is fundamentally different from the preceding one. The

Alexander Schmemann (1921-1983) is considered by many as one of the twentieth century's most significant theologians. His main contribution to theological research, or at least the one most talked about, is his argument about liturgy in relation to theology and the church. Schmemann said that the task of liturgical theology is to clarify the theological meaning of the church's worship. Thi

Anti-corruption measures have since 2007 been formally incorporated in the World Bank Group’s poverty reduction mandate. The understanding of corruption is a matter of great disagreement, there is a lack of consensus regarding the causes and effects of the phenomenon. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate how the World Bank’s understanding of corruption is demonstrated in its strategies

Women who come through attachment relationships to Sweden must stay in the country for two years in order to get their permanent visa. Consequently, these women risk to be exposed to physical, mental and sexual violence and live in a violent relationship as some of them might not be able to return to their home countries. The issue is complex and current law plays a critical role for the realisati

The humanitarian crisis in Syria is worse than ever. The late efforts by the UN Security Council have not improved the situation on the ground. The Syrian regime continues to violently supress its people and the opposition responds in a similar manner. Effects of the brutality can be seen in Turkey where thousands of Syrian citizens seek refuge and the Security Council has determined that the cris

Is the language and terminology used in the Church of Sweden understandable to young people? Many scientists have investigated the religiosity of youth and the liturgical language, but there is no completed study on the relationship between the language that young people use in discussions about existential issues and the language of the representatives of the Church of Sweden. This study examine

In the year of 1999, Sweden became the first country in the world to criminalize the act of buying sexual services. However, selling sexual services for compensation still remains legal even up to this day. Arguments about gender equality, the protection of prostitutes and the connection of prostitution to trafficking were used to support the Swedish legislation. Opponents to this argue that this
