Since the 1980’s, political debate in Sweden has questioned whether the nation’s welfare state has moved from a universal welfare model toward a selective welfare model. In connection with the debate, a third sector, the social economy sector, has evolved. The social economy demonstrates new ways to deliver welfare services with the primary goal of generating social benefit and public welfare inst

During the last couple of years, the media have come to intensify their description of a “football hooligan”. The “football hooligan” is often described as a young man, with an engaging interest for football but who also is provided with an ability and willingness to use physical violence for the sake of defending the favourite football club and its own group. This is a painting picture in various

Popular Abstract in English Background Palliative care is an approach characterized by a holistic view of the person, which supports the individual for living with dignity and with the best possible level of wellbeing until the end of life. Earlier studies have shown that older people do not have the same access to palliative care as younger people do. One reason for this could be that it is diffiThe aim of this thesis was to study nurse assistants’ experience of palliative care and to investigate how an intervention with a focus on a palliative care approach in residential care facilities influenced the nurse assistants and their work situation.

Idén till detta kandidatarbete, ett aktionsforskningsprojekt, väcktes av min strävan att på olika vis nå högre självständighet från institutionen och Musikhögskolan, inför mitt utträde ur dessa. Projektets metod blev huvudsakligen ett personligt deltagande i övningsutmaningen #100daysofpractice på den sociala medieplattformen Instagram.

With the growth of cities more issues relating to the environment, economy and health have emerged. The climate in the city affects how the city is structured and how the city space is used. In return the city also has an effect on the climate by modifying the regional climate conditions on a large scale. This has led to an increase in air temperature in the urban areas causing an urban heat islanGrowth of cities has caused the climate in them to change making urban areas warmer than the surrounding rural areas. This phenomenon is called an urban heat island. Mitigation tactics to counter the heating of the urban areas vary from changing the thermal properties of the surface materials to adding vegetation and water bodies to the urban scene. This study aims to investigate the impact green

Den sociala indikationen är ett juridikens medel för att i vissa fall rättfärdiga att vuxna missbrukare bereds vård, oberoende deras eget tycke. Ett sådant tvångsförfarande innebär i grunden en inskränkning av mänskliga fri- och rättigheter. I ljuset av denna inskränkning är det alldeles nödvändigt att det legitima tvångsförfarandet föregås dels av en tydlig och precis rättsreglering, dels av en fThe social indication is a legal mechanism that, in certain cases, serves to justify compulsory care for adult substance abusers, irrespective of their con-sent. Such a coercive measure inherently entails a restriction of human rights and freedoms. In light of this restriction, it is essential that the legitimate compulsory measure be preceded by a clear and precise legal regulation, as well as a

Den tekniska utvecklingen innebär att det finns nya sätt att kränka en annan person som inte överensstämmer med de tillvägagångssätt som tidigare avsetts i svensk straffrätt.

Lag (1990:52) med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga (LVU) utgör en skyddslagstiftning som förpliktigar samhället att ingripa när unga far, eller riskerar att fara, illa. I fall där barn och unga utsätts för hedersrelaterat våld eller förtryck i hemmet kan flera av rekvisiten i 2 § LVU bli tillämpliga. Rättsläget är dock ännu oklart beträffande huruvida den unges eget beteende kan utgöra grundAccording to The Care of Young Persons (Special Provisions) Act (LVU) the Swedish state has a responsibility to intervene in the care of a young person when circumstances show deficiencies in the care, or some other circumstance at home, which involve a manifest risk that the young person's health or development might be harmed (2 § LVU).

When the Torrey Canyon ran aground in 1967, there was no international regime covering liability for oil pollution damage. This changed with the adoption of the 1969 Civil Liability Convention for Oil Pollution (CLC) and the 1971 International Convention on the Establishment of an International Fund for Compensation for Oil Pollution Damage (Fund Convention). While torts are mainly fault based, th

The subject of the thesis is unfair dismissal, where the question contains a definition of the concept according to current law and a survey of what the Labour Court emphasizes in assessments in these cases. In cases of suspected unfair dismissals, the court has applied a more nuanced burden of proof rule in these disputes. The paper will also address this and provide a more detailed description o

In the Lutheran tradition, of which the Church of Sweden is part, the spoken and written word often gets an automatic priority over the experience and perception of artistic expression. As a result, the discourse on the role of aesthetics in liturgical formation has come second to the ongoing discussion about the linguistic and semantic meaning of texts. This thesis wants to contribute to a renewe
