This thesis aims to examine if the Swedish Democrats base their criticism against EU on their nationalistic ideas and if these can be pursued in the European Parliament. The theory describes nationalism as an ideology and the European Union as a integration project. By describing these two from different angles a clear opposition can be found. A critical idea analysis is used on the collected data

In this study I present a theoretical model based on Marx´s critique of political economy, specific readings of Marx´s work and the regulation approach. This model will be used to explain long waves and cycles in long term economic growth, creative destruction (i.e the relation between technological leaps and economic crisis) and the ways in which these processes correspond to institutional develo

Arbetet utgör en stor bit av det pussel som bildar våra liv, därför är arbetets mening en central del i våra liv. En människas självidentitet är nära kopplat till hennes yrke eller en speciell titel. Giddens (1999) visar hur vår definition av självidentiteten i det moderna västerländska samhället, går ifrån att vara traditionsbundet till att kravet på livsval blir för stora och till slut omöjliga

This bachelor thesis contains an introduction into supersymmetric quantum mechanics(SUSYQM). SUSYQM provides a different way of solving quantum mechanical problems. The thesis explains the basic concepts of SUSYQM, such as the factorization of a Hamiltonian, the definition of its superpotential and the shape invariant potentials. The SUSYQM framework was applied to some problems such as the infini

Our interest for this subject was awakened by the complexity with teachers having to report their students for being physically or psychically abused or neglected at home. Our aim in this study has been to discover junior school teachers’ idea on the mandatory reporting law between schools and social services in Sweden. Due to this purpose, interviews have been made with six junior school teachers

Sociala medier har kommit att utgöra en stor del av dagens kommunikation. Organisationer använder dessa i sitt kommunikationsarbete utan att besitta större kunskap om hur verktyget ska hanteras för att nå sin fulla potential. Dagens forskning om sociala medier saknar till stor del ett kritiskt förhållningssätt. Det diskuteras inte om organisationer ska använda sociala medier, utan snarare när och Social media forms a major part of today's communication. Organizations choose to adapt this in their work with communication, but lack sufficient understanding of how the tool should be handled in order to reach full potential. Today's research on the social media largely lacks a critical approach. It is not discussed whether organizations should use social media, but rather when and how.

The conditions for trading differ in the EU, even though the idea of the single market was born almost six decades ago and started to go toward completion over two decades ago. These differences causes asymmetry in trade costs which lead to trade volumes, and in extension wealth, are less in the union than what they would be if the union was more harmonized. This paper is therefore aiming at findi

Mätning av arbetsprestation har kommit att bli allt vanligare i arbetslivet idag och fokus har flyttats från objektiva mått till mer subjektiva bedömningar. Studiens syfte var att undersöka om en evaluativ faktor kan föreligga i skattningar som berör arbetsprestation och hur den kan reduceras. Vidare undersöktes om personlighetsdimensionerna i Big Five kan ha något samband med variansen i skattnin

Till grund för denna uppsats ligger översättningar av tre spanska matreportage från tidskriften Sobremesa. Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att undersöka hur man bäst går tillväga för att anpassa en text efter en ny målspråkskultur utan att riskera att den personliga stilen i texten går förlorad vid överföringen. Uppsatsen inleds med en källtextanalys som utgår ifrån Lennart Hellspongs och Per Ledin

Syftet med uppsatsen är att jämföra ekonomiska incitament för patienter och vårdgivare att konsumera och producera vård i primärvården i Sverige och Nederländerna och dess konsekvenser för vårdutnyttjande och kostnader. Fokus ligger på patientavgifter och ersättningsmodeller för allmänläkare i primärvården. Länderna skiljer sig åt i såväl patientens egenbetalning, ersättning till läkare och konkur

Under senare delen av 1950-talet utspelade sig i Sverige en livlig debatt om huruvida landet skulle framställa egna atombomber. Tidsmässigt sammanföll detta med vad som kallats "den andra vetenskapliga revolutionen"; en tid präglad av ekonomisk högkonjunktur, snabb teknologisk utveckling och allmän framstegsoptimism. I föreliggande uppsats analyseras hur de svenska atomvapenmotståndarna

Research show that human trafficking is one of the fastest growing criminal industries today, after narcotics and illegal arms trade (The Polaris Project 2014). The most common victims of human trafficking are stated to be women and children (UNODC 2012). According to the UNICEF (2007), 1,2 million children are estimated to be exposed to trafficking for various exploitative purposes every year aro

The relationship between intellectual property and competition law gives an excellent contrast into how competing legal principles may work harmoniously and need not be viewed in conflict. Consequently, applying principles from one field may benefit the application of another. In respect of this and following the Court of Justice of the European Union’s recent ruling in Leno Merken, an application

The aim of this study is to utilize a qualitative content analysis in order to examine the stories of twelve childfree women featured in the anthology "Nobody's Mother" [translated title] (2013). When designing this study we have focused on the reasons to why these women have chosen not to have any children and how they experience social expectations related to motherhood. Swedish we

This thesis aims to identify online branding channels used by SMEs and determine which of those channels are the most effective. For this, a quantitative study of four SME brands is conducted and their online branding efforts analyzed. The findings add to the existing theory in the field as well as propose a new framework for analyzing and classifying SMEs online branding channels. The gathered da

The United States (US) and European Union (EU) both have preferential trade agreements with least developed countries with the aim of increasing trade volumes in order to catalyse development. The US implemented their system, the “African Growth and Opportunity Act” (AGOA) in 2000 and the EU followed with “Everything But Arms” (EBA) in 2001. Since these preference systems have the goal of increasi

Syftet med min undersökning är att studera partierna och deras informationssatsningar inför Europaparlamentsvalet 2014 för att se på hur de ser på sin roll som kunskapsspridare och sitt ansvar i förhållande till andra aktörer för att öka valdeltagandet och legitimiteten i EU. Min undersökning har gjorts utifrån en hypotetisk-deduktivutgångspunkt och jag har genomfört intervjuer med representant

The purpose of the research was to enrich the understanding of the process of corporatization of higher education and to demonstrate the importance of studying identity work. We conducted an inductive case study research basing our methods and methodology on hermeneutics and an interpretive paradigm. We developed our argumentation on the basis of interpretive and critical theory regarding identity

The European Union has decided to standardize the train control command system on the European railways. The reason for the standardization of the train control command system is to increase the competitiveness of the railway by promoting the ability to run the same train from one end of Europe to the other, without the need to change locomotives and drivers. The train control command system that
