Modern amerikansk politik präglas av konservatism och patriotism som är kvarlevor från dess grundare. Därmed mäter denna uppsats förändringen i det så kallade American Civil Religion, ett offentligt verktyg som används för att främja ordning och stabilitet, främst för att besegra en fiende vid belägring eller hot, eller för att bevara statens överlevnad. Tillvägagångssättet för att finna en korrel

Rätten att söka och åtnjuta asyl har fastställts genom FN:s allmänna förklaring om de mänskliga rättigheterna. Bedömningen av vem som anses vara flykting ska utföras i enlighet med kriterier och normer som återfinns inom internationell såväl som regional och nationell lagstiftning. I asylmål är det inte ovanligt med svårigheter att hitta bevis som styrker den sökandes utsaga.

The aim of this master thesis is to investigate how public libraries through projects work to include the target group youth/young adults. To get an understanding of this I will examine five projects towards youth/young adults at public libraries in Skåne. The theoretical framework I have used is the four-space model. The method being used is an ethnographic content analysis of documents from the

The aim of this study is to investigate why individuals form certain attitudes towards immigration from a perspective of sociotropic concerns. The theory suggests that people form political attitudes based on the consequences for their country as a whole. I add the perspective that sociotropic concerns are based on the social group that is of most importance to the individual, national or not. Pre

This paper studies nationalism within radical europarties. Europarties are in turn parties at the European level which consist of multiple national parties. More specifically I am examining if nationalism can be found in both radical leftwing and rightwing europarties and if the nationalism increases the further out on the political spectrum the party position itself. Furthermore I study if there

In recent years the public's interest in beekeeping has increased. In relation to alarming news about pollinators declining globally, honeybees and beekeeping has been proposed as a part of the solution through their contribution to biodiversity and pollination.

Diskussionen om vem som ska få vara en del av den demokratiska beslutsprocessen har varit aktuell sedan demokratins födelse. Vilka medborgare som setts som fullvärdiga har varierat beroende på tid och plats. Begränsningar har, bland annat, gjorts baserat på kön, inkomst och ålder. Idag i Sverige är ålder den enda omfattande begränsningen av rösträtten som finns kvar för svenska medborgare. Den senThe discussion about who should be able to take part in the democratic process has been relevant since democracy was in its infancy. Which citizens has had full rights has varied depending on the time and place. Limitations has been based on, among other things, sex, income, and age. At the moment, in Sweden, age is the only substantial limitation of the right to vote for swedish citizens. The las

When parties compete in European elections what issue do they prioritize? That is the question this text aims to answer. It does so by focusing on two well established theories of voter behavior, namely issue ownership and issue salience. What complicates matters is that European elections are considered second-order, meaning that they are not considered as important as elections for national parl

This thesis seeks to find the most frequently bespoken ideas in the debate about introducing a recommended retirement age as well as increasing the age limits in the Swedish pension system. The topic is of great relevance and interest since the legislative proposal will have an effect on most Swedes as they eventually will retire from their working lives. The thesis aims to reach a deeper understa

Förbudet mot missbruk av dominerande ställning, och därigenom förbudet för dominerande bolag att vidta underprissättning, återfinns i EU:s grundläggande fördrag samt i svensk rätt. Förbudet är tydligt formulerat och det indikerar inte att det finns någon form av tillåten underprissättning för dominerande bolag. I svensk doktrin har det dock vuxit fram en uppfattning om att vissa former av underpThe prohibition against abuse of a dominant position, and thereby the prohibition against predatory pricing, is regulated in both the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and in the Swedish Competition Act. The prohibition is clearly formulated and it does not indicate that there is any form of undercutting that is allowed for companies in a dominant position. In Swedish literature of

Gränsen mellan spel- och tävlingsvinster kan vara svår att dra, men det är ack så viktigt att den dras korrekt. Skatterättsligt skiljer sig nämligen behandlingen av de båda vinstformerna åt markant, där tävlingsvinster som huvudregel beskattas av vinnaren. Spelvinster medför däremot inte någon individbeskattning, utan här får istället arrangören vara den bidragande aktören. Avvägningen mellan spelThe line between gambling and competition wins can be difficult to draw, but it is important that it is drawn correctly. In fact, tax law differs significantly in the treatment of the two forms of profit, where competition winnings are, as a general rule, taxed by the winner. Gambling winnings on the other hand, do not entail any individual taxation. Here, the organizer is instead the contributing

Idrott är ett fenomen som ofta karakteriseras av sin förmåga att verka sammanförande på ett globalt plan. Som utgångpunkt bör idrotten vara en zon fredad från politiska inslag och diskriminering. Även om denna bild av fair-play och god sammanhållning är eftersträvad så är det inte sällan som olika motstående intressen tränger sig in på idrottens område och det är inte heller sällsynt att enskilda Sport is a phenomenon that is often characterized by uniting people on a global level. The foundation of sports should be a zone protected from political restrictions and discriminating behavior. Even though it is this image of fair-play and unity that should be sought, it is not uncommon for various opposing interests to influence the field of sports. Often it is the individual practitioners who

En advokat bär på kontraktsrättslig grund ett ansvar gentemot sin klient. Om advokaten vållar sin klient skada genom oaktsamhet ska denne ersätta klienten för skadan. Det finns inte någon särskild lag som klargör skadeståndsansvaret för advokater men på bara de senaste två åren har Högsta Domstolen prövat två mål som handlar om advokaters skadeståndsansvar gentemot sina klienter. FörutsättningarA lawyer is, under contract law, liable to his client for any damage caused as a result of careless consulting. If the lawyer causes his client harm through negligence, he must compensate the client for the damage. There is no specific Swedish law that clarifies liability for lawyers, but in the last two years, the Supreme Court has tried two cases that deal with lawyers' liability towards the

Studiens syfte är att undersöka och förstå svenska regeringens skilda biståndspolitiska agerande gentemot länderna Uganda och Tanzania, vars regeringar under 2010-talet öppet diskriminerat, förföljt och föreslagit hårdare lagstiftning för hbtq-personer. När Sverige 2014 valde att frysa biståndet till Uganda till följd av den anti-homosexualitetslag, som innebar hårdare straff för hbtq-personer i l

Framplockning av tidigare inlärda minnen har visat sig hämma framplockningen av konkurrerande minnen, då dessa interfererar med varandra. Denna företeelse kallad framplockningsinducerad glömska (eng, retrieval-induced forgetting, RIF), tros bero på en inhibitorisk kontrollmekanism som aktiveras för att försvåra framplockningen av irrelevanta konkurrerande minnen. Inhibitionen av irrelevanta minnenRetrieval of previous memories has been shown to inhibit retrieval of competitive memories. This phenomenon often referred to as retrieval-induced forgetting, is believed to occur because of an inhibitory control mechanism which is activated in order to obstruct the retrieval of non relevant competitive memories. Inhibition of irrelevant memories thus facilitates retrieval of the specific memory y

The energy demand of the world continues to increase, while world's resources are exploited over its capacity. One way of facing these demands is to extend the use of fuel cells. A fuel cell converts chemical energy into electrical energy through a series of chemical and electrochemical reactions. A solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is unique since it only contains solid materials and the cell has
