Den 1 januari i år trädde Lag (2016:1145) om Offentlig Upphandling i kraft. En av de mest betydande förändringarna i den nya lagen är det ökade utrymmet som ges till miljöhänsyn vid offentlig upphandling. Vi har valt att undersöka hur de nya bestämmelserna, med fokus på miljöhänsyn, har implementerats och tolkats av tjänstemän på kommunal nivå. Tjänstemännens upplevda handlingsutrymme har undersök
Alla anställda inom förvaltningen har tre olika etiktyper att förhålla sig till: egenetik, professionsetik och förvaltningsetik. Denna uppsats undersöker hur personer som innehar två yrkesroller och därmed två olika professionsetikvarianter förhåller sig till dessa olika etiktyper och varianter. Den teoretiska utgångspunkten utgörs av Lennart Lundquists resonemang om etiktyper och tjänstemannens r
Studiet av vatten och den allt större brister resulterar i diskussion huruvida det kommer leda till konflikt eller samarbete på den internationella arenan. Vatten och dess påverkan på den internationella arenan tar i denna studie plats genom att undersöka vattenregimers spillover-effekt till demokrati. Frågeställningen som vi ämnar utreda är: Hur kan en spillover-effekt av demokratiska värden förk
The purpose of this thesis is to examine how Sweden Democrats depicts the woman and analyzes if they use the woman to legitimize their policies. I do this by reconstructing the dominant narrative while striving to analyze how they legitimize the image of her and if they use her to legitimize their policies. The material that I use is the Sweden Democrats 'Principles Program (2011), the Swedish
Since independence, Georgia’s political trajectory of democratic development has become all the more aimed towards integration with the EU and further disassociation from the Soviet past and Russia. By the engagements facilitated through the EU’s Eastern Partnership and the Association Agreement, the narrative of Georgian national identity as fundamentally European is seen as an all-encompassing c
This essay examines why municipalities choose to work with daily occupations for adult asylum seekers, when the responsibility lies upon another institution, Länsstyrelsen. The aim is to find out for what reasons they work with daily occupations for asylum seekers. In approaching this research Lennart Lundquist’s implementation theory was used. According to the theory the civil servants must have
This thesis seeks to increase the scholarly understanding of coalitions in working-groups in the Council of Ministers. In contrast to most of the literature on coalitions in the Council, this thesis is not concerned with which coalitions that will be formed. Instead, the focus is on intra-coalition cooperation, a topic that remains largely unexplored. More specifically, this thesis begins by inves
Kärlekskoden och Gift vid första ögonkastet är två samtida tv-produktioner som har gemensamt i att de porträtterar kärlek och relationer i en vetenskaplig kontext. Programmen undersöker möjligheten att matcha ihop par med vetenskapens hjälp. Den här uppsatsen undersöker förhållandet mellan rationalitet och känsla i de två tv-produktionerna. Med hjälp av en kvalitativ innehållsanalys studeras hur K
In this thesis, the relationship between bureaucratic structures and efficiency is evaluated through a case study of the Swedish Police Authority. The collected material consists of semi-structured interviews with police officers from four different stations located in Region Syd. A theoretical framework that posits that there exist two types of bureaucratic structures, enabling and coercive, and
A small yet substantial share of Swedish municipalities have chosen to engage in development aid projects. While examining the incentives behind local authorities’ engagement in non-compulsory projects, this study contributes to the broader research on public policy and organizational theory, as it investigates how reforms are initiated, adopted and spread. The research process consists of three
Aeromobility and sustainability are current political issues which given available technology today are incompatible. This study aims to through a discourse analysis critically examine how Karlstad Airport as an example of this is constructed as a political matter. Drawing on Maarten Hajers social-interactive discourse analysis, which is operationalised using Carol Bacchis analytical framework the
Chip area parameters, such as undeformed chip thickness, equivalent chip thickness, contact edge length, etc., along with tool angles are among defining for the mechanical and thermal conditions of the cutting process. This paper considers the case of external turning with a round insert under variation, in wide range, of back and side rake angles and their influence on the main chip area and surf
The welfare and migration regime of Sweden are undergoing substantial changes, as neo-liberal restructuring is rapidly increasing inequalities, and multicultural policies are in retreat as neo-assimilationist policies are growing. In 2014, the Sweden Democrats, a party conceptualised as culturally racist, was re-elected with 13% of the votes, with a presence in almost all municipalities. While sch
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) independently associates with an increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), but it has not been fully investigated whether this co-morbidity involves shared pathophysiological mechanisms. To identify potential common pathways across the two diseases, we tested all recently published single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with human lung

Currently available methodologies arguably lack the exquisite control required for producing metal-organic framework (MOF) thin films of sufficient quality for electronic applications. By directing MOF transfer with self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), we achieve very smooth, homogeneous, highly oriented, ultrathin films across millimeter-scale areas that display moderate conductivity likely due to e
Objective To examine disease activity versus treatment as lymphoma risk factors in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods We performed case-cohort analyses within a multisite SLE cohort. Cancers were ascertained by regional registry linkages. Adjusted HRs for lymphoma were generated in regression models, for time-dependent exposures to immunomodulators (cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, methotr
High expression of the receptor tyrosine kinase Axl is associated with poor prognosis in patients with Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC), the most common malignancy of the kidney. The miR-34a has been shown to directly regulate Axl in cancer cells. The miR-34a is a mediator of p53-dependent tumor suppression, and low expression of miR-34a has been associated with worse prognosis in several cancers. Our a
