The outcome of a common European asylum system (CEAS) is an open question in which the answer will situate itself somewhere between two conflicting frames: the realist with focus on internal security and border controls, and the liberal with focus on human-rights and refugee protection. This thesis analyses how these frames are expressed in the European Commission’s publications in the asylum area

The relationship between the programs of the Swedish Left party and communist ideology is a vexed question, since the party has tried to transform itself from a communist party to a broad left party.

Sammanfattning Fastighetsköpet och de bestämmelser som blir tillämpliga i samband med detta har historiskt sett utgjort ett regelverk separerat från det som gäller vid köp av lös egendom. En av de främsta anledningarna bakom denna uppdelning är att fastighetsköpet typiskt sett betraktas som ett så kallat specieköp. För många människor utgör fastighetsköpet sannolikt en av de största och mest betydHistorically, real property law has been separated from the rules applicable to movables. One of the main reasons for legislatively separating the two is that the real property purchase is regarded a typical example of a non-generic purchase (specieköp). To many people, the real property purchase is one of the most important and major business deals they will ever make in their life. Considering t

Sveriges självbild som länge varit lyckligt befriad från svågerpolitik, maktmissbruk och pengar under bordet har under det senaste decenniet fått sig en törn. Stora svarta rubriker på löpsedlar har uppmärksammat oss på att korruption och mutor även förekommer i vårt trygga demokratiska samhälle. För att på ett effektivt sätt komma åt detta krävs ett fungerande regelverk, något som haltar då det koThe Swedish Bribery Legislation in use today was written in 1977 and is consequently neither completely modern nor crystal clear. There are no legal definitions on what constitutes a bribe or what is giving rise to corruption and the verdicts are instead made on a case by case basis. The Swedish Bribery Legislation has over the years received a lot of criticism as it is seen as unpredictable and d

Samhällets behov av förnyelsebara energikällor har ökat; i april 2009 antogs Europaparlamentets och rådets direktiv 2009/28/EG om främjande av användningen av energi från förnybara energikällor och om ändring och ett senare upphävande av direktiven 2001/77/EG samt 2003/30/EG. För Sveriges del innebar antagandet att Sverige fick som nationellt övergripande mål att andelen energi från förnybara enerSociety’s need of renewable sources of energy has increased; in April 2009 the European Parliament and Council adopted the directive 2009/28/EG on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources and amending and subsequently repealing Directives 2001/77/EC and 2003/30/EC. For Sweden this meant the adoption of a new general objective in which the national goal is to have 49 percent of the

The Swedish public sector has experienced an extensive change towards a more market-oriented structure since the latter part of the 20th century. This essay examines how ideas regarding welfare production in modern day Sweden can be linked to three different principles: a communitarian principle, an autonomous principle and an economic principle . By applying a theoretical framework in a descripti

En randomiserad kontrollerad studie användes för att undersöka effekten av självhjälpsbiblioterapi och kreativ biblioterapi på psykologisk flexibilitet, självmedkänsla och psykologiskt välmående, samt en jämförelse mellan självhjälpsbiblioterapi och kreativ biblioterapi. Deltagare randomiserades till självhjälpsbetingelse (n=17) eller bokcirkelbetingelse (n=21) och under åtta veckor läste de antinA randomized comparative study was used to explore the effect of self-help bibliotherapy and creative bibliotherapy on psychological flexibility, self-compassion and psychological well-being.

The transition towards renewable energy and electrification is expected to accelerate in the coming decades. This change is being studied by several actors, in Sweden most notably by Svenska kraft- nät, the Swedish TSO. They have recently constructed four different scenarios, two of which explore a future with a doubling of electricity consumption from year 2022 to year 2045. These two scenarios h

Investor sentiment is an important research object in behavioral finance, and its analysis has been one of the hot topics in stock market research recently. As an abstract concept, investor sentiment needs to be visualized by the construction of the investor sentiment index. In 2006, Baker and Wurgler proposed the Baker & Wurgler (BW) index, which can reflect investor sentiment in the American

Memory IPs are important components in SoC designs. Hence, making sure that the memory IPs are functioning as expected is crucial for any organization. In order to do so, memory IPs must be tested. In addition, the testing capabilities can be enhanced by integrating a processor to the memory test chip. In this project, an open-source PULPissimo platform based on RISC-V ISA(Instruction set architec

This study is about the Europeanization of national politics in Sweden, based on the analysis of empirical data collected from the government ministries and offices. The focus of the study is to answer which policy areas are subject to a high-level of Europeanization, as well as investigate whether we can identify the level of Europeanization within the Swedish government ministries and the overal
