In this thesis, I study representations of summer and winter Olympic Games and Olympic athletes in six Swedish popular magazines 1948-1972. The purpose is to examine the forms of identity produced within the nation as an “imagined community”, in discursive processes where gender, sexuality, ”race”/ ethnicity, class and age/generation intersect and mutually construct each other. The study is inspir

Purpose: Patients undergoing surgery for thumb carpometacarpal (CMC1) osteoarthritis often require sick leave owing to postoperative immobilization, pain, and decreased function. Our goal was to evaluate the amount of sick leave after surgery for 2 common CMC1 arthroplasty procedures. Methods: Using registry data from the Skåne region of southern Sweden, cross-linked with employment data showing p

As rotary machines have become more complicated, balancing processes have been classified as a vital step in condition monitoring to ensure that machines operate reliably, smoothly and safely. All rotating objects will deflect during rotation and all objects possess certain natural frequencies in the absence of rotation. However, an unbalanced object can cause significant unwanted deflection creat

Global exploration and production of minerals is increasingly located in areas populated by indigenous people. Conflicts that arise between multinational corporations and local activists and/or indigenous people are widespread while the understanding of such issues are still lacking. The Swedish government encouraging an expanding mining industry have caused great resistance, particularly due to t

I Sverige förekommer fortfarande problem med hedersrelaterade våldsbrott. År 2016 var en tredjedel av alla mord som begicks mot kvinnor hedersrelaterade. Många röster har höjts för att en straffskärpning bör ske på området. Mitt syfte med uppsatsen har varit att utreda om det finns ett behov att införa en särreglering vad gäller våldsbrott med heder som motiv i straffskärpande syfte. Följande frågIn Sweden there are still problems with honor-related violent crime. In 2016, one third of all murders committed against women were honor-related murders. Many voices have been raised in order for a punishment to take place in the area. The purpose of the present paper has been to investigate whether there is a need to introduce a special regime for violent crime with honor as a motive for puniti

The German transition to renewable energies has so far been an example of a successful energy transition of a major economy. Even though this transition is criticized for being only a half-hearted solution, it is an important example of the attempt of a major economy to transit towards renewable energies and is therefore worth studying in its own rights. Thus, my aim in this thesis is the identifi

The construction sector is one of the biggest contributors to global CO2 emissions and buildings account for a significant part of the energy use in Sweden. Population growth in combination with economic development is putting more pressure on the environment, resulting in escalating consumption trends and larger quantities of raw material extraction. Policies and directives are promoting a circul

In many countries, GMO policy-making has been characterised with a lot of controversy, participation and trust being the most pressing issues. The ongoing Ghanaian GMO policy-making is not spared of the controversy. The GMO Bill which was introduced in the Ghanaian Parliament in 2013 remained unpassed amid accusations and counter-accusations between government-led groups and civil society-led anti

Även om terrorism utgör ett växande problem kan få presentera en precis och heltäckande förklaring av dess innebörd. I en internationell såväl som akademisk kontext råder oenighet om vilka handlingar som bör omfattas. I svensk straffrätt saknas likaså en definition av begreppet; istället straffbeläggs ett stort antal terroristhandlingar under skilda brottstyper. Uppsatsens syfte är att utreda vadAlthough terrorism poses a growing threat, few can present a precise and all encompassing definition of the term. Internationally, as well as academically, there is disagreement about which acts should be subjected by the term. Swedish criminal law similarly lacks a definition; instead numerous terrorist acts are criminalized under separate forms of crimes. The purpose of this essay is to investi

Förekomsten av tekniska standarder är fundamental för den tekniska utvecklingen och medför flera konkurrensfördelar. Standardisering kan emellertid riskera att vara konkurrenshämmande i samband med patentinnehavares användning av de rättsmedel som står till deras förfogande. Så är fallet när patenterad teknik implementeras i standarder och får status som standardessentiella patent. I utbyte mot deThe presence of technical standards is fundamental to the technical development and entails several competitive advantages. Standardization may, however, risk being anticompetitive in relation to patent holders’ use of legal remedies available to them. This is the case when patented technology is implemented in standards and is given the status as standard essential patent. In exchange for the pos

En huvudprincip i den svenska rättsordningen är att den förlorande parten i ett tvistemål ska ersätta den vinnande parten för dennes rättegångskostnader. Ersättningen till den vinnande parten ska i enlighet med 18 kap. 8 § rättegångsbalken (1942:740), fullt motsvara kostnaderna för processföringen, såvitt kostnaderna skäligen varit påkallade för tillvaratagande av partens rätt. Inom ramen för partAn essential rule in Swedish law is that the losing party in a litigation shall reimburse all costs incurred by the winning party. Section 8 in Chapter 18 of the Swedish Code of Judicial Proceedings (1942:740) concludes that “compensation for litigation costs shall fully cover the costs of preparation for trial […] to the extent that the costs were reasonably incurred to safeguard the party's

In today's world, it is essential to understand how customer in-store experiences can be successfully transferred to online environments for international jewelry retailers to master their digital transformation. Further, there is an apparent lack of extensive research about the jewelry retailing industry and its customers in academia despite its prominence in the business world. Therefore, th

Sexuallagstiftningen har genomgått stora förändringar de senaste åren och inte minst vad gäller våldtäktsbrottet. Lagstiftningens tydliga skyddsintresse att skydda den enskildes personliga och sexuella integritet och självbestämmande, samt den nya utgångspunkt som baseras på frivilligt deltagande, har inneburit fler infallsvinklar i bedömningen av vad som utgör en våldtäkt. Våldtäktsbrottet behanRape crime is in Swedish law regulated in Chapter 6 Section 1 of the Penal Code. The regulation has been through extensive changes during the past decade. Our current rape law does no longer require violence or threats, but is instead built upon the lack of voluntary participation. When it comes to sexual offences, crimes committed by a group of people is not unusual. In a situation where more th

Svindleri, reglerat i 9 kap. 9 § brottsbalken, är en form av bedrägeri riktat mot allmänheten. Brottet är sparsamt behandlat i svensk praxis och relativt outforskat inom rättsvetenskapen. Det fick förnyad uppmärksamhet när Svea hovrätt hösten 2024 dömde Swedbanks tidigare vd till 15 månaders fängelse i vad som beskrivits som århundradets näringslivsrättegång. Uppsatsen syfte är att bidra med ökadGross fraud, as regulated in Chapter 9, Section 9 of the Swedish Penal Code, is a form of fraud targeting the general public. The offense has been sparingly addressed in Swedish case law and remains underexplored in legal scholarship. It gained renewed attention in the fall of 2024 when the Svea Court of Appeal sentenced Swedbank's former CEO to 15 months in prison in what has been described a

Syftet med denna uppsats är att belysa vad som inträffar när regler från förvaltningsrättslig reglering om sjukpenning, arbetsmiljö och Försäkringskassans ansvar ställas emot civilrättslig reglering om arbetsgivarens möjlighet att säga upp en anställd på grund av sjukdom. Detta för att undersöka när aktörernas skyldigheter kommer i konflikt och arbetstagare riskerar att lämnas utförsäkrade. UppsatThe purpose of this essay is to illustrate the implications that arise when administrative regulations governing sickness allowance, occupational health, and the responsibilities of the Swedish Social insurance Agency are juxtaposed with civil law regulations regarding an employer ́s ability to dismissal an employee due to illness. The investigation seeks to identify instances where the obligation

Background: Denmark and Sweden are considered to be countries of rather similar socio-political type, but public health policies and smoking habits differ considerably between the two neighbours. A study comparing mechanisms behind socioeconomic inequalities in tobacco smoking, could yield information regarding the impact of health policy and -promotion in the two countries. Methods: Cross-section

This thesis investigated the potential of using reactive power compensation to solve overvoltage issues caused by high amounts of distributed generation, such as rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems, in the low voltage grid. High voltages are caused by increasing distributed generation as the Swedish power grid shifts from centralised to decentralised power production. The aim was to manage overvol

Hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck blev känt i Sverige under 1990-talet, då de första uppmärksammade hedersmorden begicks i landet. Morden på Sara, Pela och Fadime väckte stor debatt i Sverige och man försökte hitta förklaringar till hur detta kunde inträffa och framförallt varför. Hedersrelaterat våld skiljer sig från andra våldsformer mot kvinnor på ett flertal sätt. Det som är viktigt att framHonour-related violence and oppression became known in Sweden during the 1990s, when the first high-profile honour murders were committed in the country. The murders of Sara, Pela and Fadime raised an intensive debate in Sweden and we tried to find explanations for how this could have happened, and above all why. Honour-related violence differs from other forms of violence against women in severa
