This essay examines the TV series Sherlock (2010-) from a gender perspective. My main goal with this study was to see whether the TV series challenges the traditional notions on gender and sexuality and also behaviors connected to these categories. But also how at the same time it reminds us of and is influenced by heteronormative notions. To achieve this, I have been inspired by theories drawn fr

Detta på grund av att det finns barriärer som ofta hindrar konsumenter från att välja det hållbarResearchers have long questioned the power of information and its ability to change peoples’ consumer behaviour to become more sustainable. They argue that there is a “gap” between knowledge and action when it comes to environmentally friendly activities, such as choosing certified foods over conventional foods. This is due to a number of barriers that often prevent consumers from choosing the mo
Sociala medier är ett fenomen som har påverkat organisationers angreppsätt för att nå publiken, då mediet är ett effektivt kommunikationsverktyg. Undervisningsinstitutioner berörs av frågan, dock finns det forskare inom fältet som anser att undervisningsinstitutioner inte hänger med i den digitala utvecklingen, vilket är beklagligt, då sociala medier tillhandahåller kommunikationsmöjligheter mellaSocial media is a phenomenon that affects organizations’ approaches to reach the public, whereas the medium is an effective communication tool.

Vid sidan av civilprocess och skiljeförfarande kan kommersiella parter av-tala om att en tvist dem emellan ska avgöras av en inhyrd konsult. Om tvis-ten genomförs som att judiciellt förfarande benämns förfarandet i den här uppsatsen privatdomarförfarande. Konsulten benämns privatdomare. I civilprocessen och i skiljeförfarandet kräver lagregler att en part ska ha möjlighet att få uttala sig innan Instead of using litigation or arbitration, commercial parties may hire a con-sultant to settle their dispute. If the dispute resolution method is judicial in its character, this thesis defines it as private judging (privatdomarför-farande). The consultant is called a private judge (privatdomare).

Reglerna och läran om rättskraften är ett av de mest omdiskuterade ämnena inom svensk civilprocessrätt. Det råder ett systematiskt samband mellan RB 17:11 och 13:3 som är av vikt för att förstå gällande rätt. Förståelsen för rättskraftsläran och gällande rätt kompliceras dock av ett antal rättsfall. Kontentan av praxis är att vissa alternativa yrkanden prekluderas av domens rättskraft och det kan The concept of res judicata is an intensively discussed area in Swedish civil procedural law. There is a fundamental correlation of legal and systematic importance between article 11 in chapter 17 and article 3 in chapter 13 in the Swedish Code of Judicial Procedure (RB 17:11, 13:3). However, it should be noted that the case law has complicated the understanding of the concept. This has, amongst o

This essay examines the peacebuilding discourse that emerges from the United Nations Peacebuilding Commission and its cooperation with Guinea-Bissau in their efforts to build a stable peace in the country.
