This essay examines the working-class representation in the Swedish Social Democratic party´s parliament group, during the following parliament periods: 1982-1985, 1994-1998 and 2006-2010. The study is based on the detailed biographical compilations about the members of the parliament, which the Swedish parliament has released since 1982. The results of my research show that the number of working-

I uppsatsen undersöks på vilket sätt och i vilken utsträckning Naturvårdsverket präglas av förvaltningsreformen New Public Management och huruvida det skett någon förändring över tid. Arbetet syftar till att besvara dessa frågor genom en analys av Naturvårdsverkets verksamhetsberättelser från år 1979-2014 med nedslag vart femte år. Vi använder oss av New Public Management och Webers legalbyråkrati

Utifrån idéanalys syftar uppsatsen till att undersöka och förstå hur man porträtterar immigration i USA, både i en samtida och historisk kontext. Genom att utgå från de två tidsperioderna 2018 och 1845-1855, har vi kunnat se vad som urskiljer porträtteringen under var period, för att sedan jämföra resultatet. Både den nutida och historiska delen har påvisat flera likheter i beskrivning och återgiv

Sverige tillämpar ett formellt arbetsgivarsynsätt avseende 183-dagarsregeln. Bestämmelsen återfinns i lagen (1991:586) om särskild inkomstskatt för utomlands bosatta, SINK. Där stadgas att utomlands bosatta personers ersättning ska undantas från beskattning om särskilda rekvisit är uppfyllda. Personen ska vistas färre än 183 dagar i Sverige och ersättningen betalas ut från en utländsk arbetsgivareSweden is one of few countries that apply a legal employer’s view when applying the 183-day rule. The Swedish 183-day rule is contained in the Income Tax Act (1991:586) for foreign residents, and states that foreign nationals shall be exempted from taxation if the requisition is fulfilled. The provision is implicated in the light of the 183-day rule in the OECD Model Tax Convention. The 183-day ru

En jämförande studie av akustisk- och centrifugeringsbaserad celltvätt I det biomedicinska området är provröret med celler i någon vätska en klassisk bild av vardaglig forskning. För att utföra cellförsök med celler behöver man ofta flytta cellerna mellan olika vätskor eller dela innehållet i flera provrör före analys. För dessa ändamål och mer behövs praktiska verktyg för hantering av cellerna, eCell handling is an important aspect of biomedical research, as an accurate cell media composition and cell viability is paramount for successful studies. Specifically cell washing, the replacement of the liquid media in which the cells are dispersed with another liquid media, has been studied in this thesis. An acoustofluidic device called the AcouWash, by AcouSort AB, which utilizes the combinat

Climate politics in the right-wing populist Hungary is a critical discourse analysis of the Hungarian government’s climate politics. The critical discourse analysis is based on Faircloughs method and theories which are closely interlinked. The method uses three dimensions for interpreting a discourse, the linguistic, the interdiscursive and social realities. Through looking at three different mate

Crime is often committed by a group of individuals while criminal descriptions are designed in such a way that they only aim at the action of an individual. For individuals that have committed a crime with others, but do not meet all the requirements in the current crime description and therefore would avoid responsibility, there are extended perpetrator terms applicable, extending the penal respo

Fildelning innebär bland annat nedladdning och tillgängliggörande av upphovsrättsligt skyddade verk på internet. Detta orsakar ekonomiska förluster för rättighetsinnehavarna till verken. För att komma tillrätta med det utbredda fildelningsproblemet har rättighetsinnehavare börjat rikta ersättningsanspråk mot enskilda abonnenter. Detta bland annat genom att utsända förlikningserbjudanden i Sverige File sharing means, among other things, downloading and making copyrighted works available on the internet. This causes economic losses to the rights holders of the works. In order to address the widespread file sharing problem, rights holders have begun to claim compensation from individual subscribers. This, among other things, by sending settlement offers to subscribers in Sweden and Denmark. T

Honour oppression has been up for political discussion the last decades in Sweden, without any concrete solution. The amount of people living in daily honour oppression keeps growing and remains unrecorded. Political parties’ views honour oppression as a societal problem but focuses on the need of further knowledge while the civil society argues that there is enough knowledge and we are in need of

The study set out to analyse the discourse surrounding ‘the digitalisation’ in relation to the labour market in the Swedish Government Offices’ Digitalisation strategy and the government report that builds it, utilising Bacchi’s (2009) WPR-approach. The discourse appears to further the premise that ‘the digitalisation’ will have austere effects on nearly all parts of society. ‘The digitalisation’

Maskinindustrin producerar ständigt stora mängder data som ofta förblir outnyttjad. Data som hade kunnat användas för att förbättra underhållsrutiner och därmed minska frekvensen för maskinfel och öka produktionskvaliteten. Underhåll idag kan delas upp i två delar, åtgärdande underhåll och förebyggande underhåll. Åtgärdande underhåll utförs när en maskin har gått sönder. Förebyggande underhåll utfThis thesis explores Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) for predictive time series classification for Predictive Maintenance (PdM). Time slicing and time shifting are methods used, to enable the models to find features over time, and to predict into the future, respectively. Architectures of increasing complexity are explored for Feed Forward Neural Networks (FFNNs), Convolutional Neural Networks (

There is now a body of literature that addresses whether female parliamentarians differ from male parliamentarians in their politics. However, to my knowledge there has not yet been a study that measures if female parliamentarians are more likely to be generous when it comes to immigration policies. In this study I set out to fill this gap by testing if female parliamentarians in the Swedish parli

Bostadsmarknaden avseende nyproducerade bostadsrätter har under senare tid präglats av så kallade förhandsavtal. Med försenade byggprojekt och en vikande bostadsmarknad har man i media kunnat läsa om förhandstecknare som önskar häva sina ingångna förhandsavtal. Argumenten bygger på försening av upplåtelse och tillträde, men även på att de utformade förhandsavtalen är otydliga vilket i sig skulle kThe housing market regarding newly produced co-operative apartments has recently been characterized by contracts made in advance (Contracts, swe. förhandsavtal.) With delayed construction projects and with a declining housing market, it has been possible to read about buyers who want to break their Contracts in media. The arguments are not only based on the delay of grant and access to the apartme

In a foreseeable future we can expect increased precipitation, raised sea levels and flooding in northern Europe. Casual commuting might more frequently include dealing with heavy sky fall, flooded streets and soaking wet clothes. But as we say in Sweden ”Any weather is tolerable as long as you have the right clothes”. Tretorn is a brand that truly knows bad weather. They have a long heritage

In Swedish cultural policy the inclusion of all citizens into culture is repeatedly put forward as an integral part of cultural policy. In this essay I have studied how the identities of citizens are created in municipal cultural policy documents by being constituted as in need of inclusion. I have used Mouffe and Laclau´s discourse theory to examine the creation of identities through subject posi

Humanitära interventioner är ett väl debatterat ämne inom internationell rätt. Det är ett ämne som väcker stora känslor och diskussioner bland jurister samt inom och emellan stater världen över. När det gäller legaliteten av humanitära interventioner finns det mycket material att tillgå, dock övergår diskussionen sällan i det som egentligen är viktigast: Borde humanitära interventioner vara lagligHumanitarian interventions is a well debated subject within international law. When it comes to the legality of humanitarian interventions the international community is divided and a lot of material regarding such interventions can be found. Unfortunately, the discussion rarely turns to the more important question: Should humanitarian interventions be legal under contemporary international law? T

Digitalization of education is an ongoing global policy trend that involves actors from both the public and the private domain. However, there is a lack of research regarding how the schools relate to the actors and how they influence the education. This thesis investigates how the National Digitalization Strategy for the School Sector opens for external actors to influence the implementation proc

The increasingly prominent presence of private actors in Global Environmental Governance raises novel issues of legitimacy. This paper consequently observed a need to investigate the legitimacy of Private Environmental Governance (PEG) and aimed to do so in three ways. Firstly, this study conducted a normative analysis exploring what legitimacy should require in the context of PEG. This examinatio

The Swedish Democrats have changed the political landscape in the Swedish Parliament since they came into parliament in 2010. No other party has yet to declare a coalition for government with them during election campaigns. Several of the other parties claim they will do everything they can do stop the Swedish Democrats from gaining influence over the Swedish political setting, due to their nation

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka kärnvapens laglighet under IHL, med särskilt fokus på fem för rättsområdet grundläggande principer. Världens stater har förklarat sig vara bundna av IHL:s generella principer och kärnvapenstaternas praxis har bekräftat att principerna har relevans för kärnvapenanvändning under väpnad konflikt. Det är emellertid omstritt exakt vilka och hur långtgående begrThe purpose of this essay is to examine the legality of nuclear weapons under international humanitarian law1, focusing on five selected principles of fundamental importance for the entire body of IHL. It is widely accepted that the general principles of IHL subject the deployment of force during armed conflict to restrictions. The states of the international community have willingly articulated
