This paper utilises Anthony D. Smith’s ethno-symbolism approach to understanding nationalism by focusing on subjective elem

Vad som undersökts är hur Skånemejerier konstruerar vad som innefattas i begreppet närproducerat utifrån vad närproducerat ses som i stort. För att blottlägga detta har en diskursanalys genomförts av Skånemejeriers hemsida samt nyhetsartiklar på grund av deras opinionsbildande funktion. Uppsatsen visar att begreppet närproducerat är väl förbundet med hälsa och miljö, men även med ekologi. Detta sy
Board gaming has to a large degree, been studied based on historical sources. Ironically, this is true even for prehistoric games, where the Icelandic sagas have been used as a starting point for a deductive hunt for the mysterious game Hnefatafl. Later studies of gaming have to a large extent been transferring older research results. According to the author, this has created a rather skewed pictu

Due to a German research project on slavery in antiquity, I became aware of the fact, that within the field of slavery and manumission a lot of research still needs to be done. 1 A university course on social identity inspired me later on and made me think about different identities; ‘being a slave’ was one of them. The habit of freeing slaves was so widely spread during the late Roman Republic an

Uppsatsen behandlar den öppna polisens användning av den okonventionella spaningsmetoden infiltration och även informatörsverksamheten i den mån denna tangerar förstnämnda metod. Infiltrationsåtgärder har företagits i utevaro av ett uttryckligt lagstöd vilket givit utrymme för skönsmässiga bedömningar, med avkall på rättssäkerheten som följd. Ovanstående blev upprinnelse till en anstormning av kri
Skatteverket har möjlighet att vidta revision i syfte att bl.a. kontrollera om deklarationsskyldighet och annan uppgiftsskyldighet har fullgjorts. Ett beslut om revision fattas av Skatteverket och det kan inte överklagas av den reviderade. Ett överklagande ska i stället avse själva taxeringsfrågan. Domstolen kan även ta ställning i frågor som berör vilka handlingar som ska lämnas ut inom ramen förUnder Swedish law, the Swedish Tax Agency can audit whether companies have fulfilled the general declaration requirement and other disclosure obligations. The decision of the Tax Agency to undertake an audit cannot be appealed. The company subject to the audit can appeal on technical matters related to the audit including whether documents requested by the Tax Agency should be disclosed. The pow
This thesis investigates the use of digital technology on the border between science and public communication. The author argues for a public archaeology that goes beyond an arranged communication, where only one final truth about the past is presented. Instead arguments are presented for the benefit of letting also non-archaeologists take part of the many ambiguities of archaeological excavations
