I denna uppsats har vi undersökt hur Greenpeace Norden som ideell miljöorgani-sation uttrycker sig i text för att påverka opinionen i kärnkraftsfrågan efter kärn-kraftsolyckan i Fukushima Daiichi. Vi har genomfört en kritisk diskursanalys på texter som publicerats från det datum olyckan ägde rum och ett år framåt i tiden. Sammanlagt har vi analyserat två debattartiklar, fem artiklar, sex pressmeddIn this Bachelor thesis we have analyzed how Greenpeace Nordic, as a non-profit organization, express themselves in written language to influence and shape the public opinion on nuclear energy after the nuclear accident in Fukushima Daiichi. We have analyzed texts published on the organizations website from the time of the accident to a year after, using a critical discourse analysis. We have anal

Uppsatsen behandlar, utifrån ett animal studies-perspektiv, den normalitetsförändring som sker mellan människan och noshörningen i Eugène Ionescos absurda drama Rhinocéros.

The use of conditional cash transfers (CCTs) as means of combating poverty has increased considerably the past decade. CCTs are safety net programs that transfer cash to targeted poor households, often to the mothers, on the condition that those households make pre-specified investments in the human capital of their children. The conditions are often criticised because the conditions only applies

The question of which discount rate to choose when it comes to calculating costs and benefits regarding climate change has been discussed among economists since at least the beginning of the 1990’s. However, the issue of which discount rate to choose is not just an academic question, it also has major implications for climate change policy. In this paper I will show that there exists large disagre

There has been significant growth in proprietary trading in recent years and it constitutes a major part of the traded volume in the financial markets. I have analyzed differences in the volume and volatility of Standard & Poor’s 500 index, before and after the announcement of the Volcker Rule. I have also looked into how the biggest investment banks have been affected according to their marke

The paper investigates the effect of interest rate announcements on stock returns and trading volume from two view-points: aggregate level and industrial level. We apply two models and two test methods in both the short and the long event window to examine the investors’ reactions to interest rate announcements of the State Bank of Vietnam. The results show that the market index rarely responds to

Föreliggande uppsats handlar om svenska myndigheters erkännande av förvaltningsbeslut i form av utbildnings- och yrkesexamina från andra medlemsländer i EU. Det svenska medlemskapet i EU har medfört att medborgare från andra länder väljer att etablera sig i Sverige. På samma sätt väljer svenska medborgare att etablera sig i andra EU-länder - där de exempelvis erhåller akademiska eller yrkesmässig

In Sweden today, the participation in children’s activities of the Church of Sweden is increasing, also in relation to the size of the age groups. The number of members in the Church of Sweden is decreasing, as well as participation in baptism and confirmation. Considering these facts the main question of this studie is: Why choose children’s activities arranged by the Church of Sweden today? With

Som en del av ett forskningsprojekt om vattentransport i den kapillära zonen söktes verktyg för att kunna följa infiltrationsvattentransport genom olika marklager. Med detta examensarbete utvärderardes resistivitetundersökningars lämplighet för att följa infiltrationsvatten. Grundpremissen vilade på Terrameterns – resistivitetsinstrumentets - förmåga att detektera infiltrationsvattnets rörelsemönsAs a part of a research project investigating water movement in the capillary fringe subsurface layer, a method for tracking the transport of infiltrating water through different ground layers was sought. This thesis consists of a field evaluation of resistivity surveys as a method of following subsurface water transport. The method rests on the Terrameter’s – the resistivity instrument’s – abilit

Detta projektarbete tar upp barnets tryggbas - script i kontext till deras relation till föräldrarna. Secure Base Script Test (SBST) och barnets beskrivande relation till föräldrarna i Friends and family Interview (FFI), samt Kerns trygghetsskala (KSS) användes som undersökningsmetoder. Projektet studerade korrelationen mellan indikationen av en trygg bas genom barnens berättelser i SBST (tryggbas

We have reacted to the lack of museological studies about exhibitions of the Classical world, especially considering how the relationship between ancient Greek and Roman culture and the traditional Western ‘fine arts’ might have affected curators’ and visitors’ experiences and expectations of them. The aim of this study is therefore to investigate and analyse which values and narratives the produc

Uppsatsen studerar företags hantering av råvarurisk ur två olika perspektiv. I uppsatsens första del undersöks företags motiv för att agera på råvarumarknaderna genom djupgående intervjuer av särskilt utvalda företag. Resultat från intervjuerna indikerar att råvarors inflations- och diversifieringsegenskaper är båda starka incitament bakom investerares intresse att handla med råvaror. Uppfattninge

Internationellt har begreppet "gå på pengarna" vunnit mark och mer effekti-va förverkandebestämmelser anses vara en viktig åtgärd i kampen för att spåra och återföra utbytet av brott. Förverkande vid brott har till avsikt att verka avskräckande genom att förhindra brottslingar att dra nytta av brott samt återinvestera utbytet av brott i ny brottslig verksamhet. Vidare har förverkande somInternationally, the concept of "follow the money trail" has gained ground, and more efficient forfeiture provisions are considered an important meas-ure in the fight to track down and return the proceeds of crime. Forfeiture provisions are designed to deter crime by preventing criminals to benefit from crime and reinvest the proceeds of crime in new criminal activity. Furthermore, forfe

Den här uppsatsen har som syfte att klarlägga vad bestämmelsen om synnerligen ömmande omständigheter inom den svenska migrationsrätten innebär och hur tillämpningen av den ser ut i praktiken samt hur denna praktiska tillämpning påverkas av förarbeten och praxis. Syftet har även varit att försöka klargöra om det finns en skillnad i tillämpningen mellan barn och vuxna. Bestämmelsen om synnerligen ömThis dissertation aims to clarify the regulation concerning particularly distressing circumstances in Swedish migration law and how the enforcement of this regulation works in practice and in which way propositions and superior court decisions has an effect on the practical application. The purpose has also been to clarify what distinction there are between children and adults within the Swedish m

This thesis deals with how creative destruction of the music industry caused by digital technologies can change formal and informal norms concerning the protection of copyrighted material. In the process of creative destruction new innovations can be so great that they change people’s beliefs: in the case of the music industry the technological shift from analogue to digital technologies, in parti

The focus of this project will be on democratic institutional design in Egypt following the 2011 revolution. Although important, little attention will necessarily be given to examining the challenges and prospects for democracy in post-Mubarak Egypt more broadly. The paper will proceed under the assumption that a stable, functioning democracy is a reasonable, and further, attainable system of poli

Straffrättslig symbollagstiftning är ett svårdefinierat begrepp. En utgångspunkt är emellertid att begreppet har en inneboende negativ laddning. Att sätta etiketten symbollagstiftning på en strafflag innebär också att kritik riktas mot strafflagen. Ett viss mått av försiktighet måste därför iakttas vid symbollagstiftningsanalysen. Symbollagstiftning är inte en matematisk formel, snarare en misstanSymbolic criminal legislation is hard to define. Despite that, it is obvious that the concept is inherently negative. To label a criminal act “symbolic”, is also a way of criticizing it. It is therefore important to be cautious while analyzing the concept. Symbolic legislation is not a mathematic formula, rather a suspicion of a phenomenon. Neither is symbolic legislation a question of “either-or”
