Objektet för unThe purpose of this study is to analyze how Islamic feminists look at women’s rights and its compatibility with Islam and interpretations of Sharia and the Quran. In the study I focus on Malaysia and the main question is how Islamic feminists argue that reinterpretations of Sharia and the Quran along with other strategies can lead to a family law consistent with conventions on women’s rights.

Analyzing Baltic trade pattern confirms that the economic transition, following the fall of the Soviet Union, largely involves a regional integration process with western Europe. This thesis examines the trade patterns of the three Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania) focusing on the regional integration process with the EU. The objective is to investigate the trade relations with the EU mem

This report is a fire safety evaluation of Träcentrum, a school and conference center in Nässjö, Sweden. The building is divided into five sections but because of various limitations only two will be thoroughly investigated in this report. A site visit at the location was made in February 2012 to gather information about the fire protection and evacuation of the building. Targets of protection we

J. S. Wilson proved in 1971 an isomorphism between the structural lattice associated to a group belonging to his second class of groups with every proper quotient finite and the Boolean algebra of clopen subsets of Cantor’s ternary set. In this paper we generalize this isomorphism to the class of branch groups. Moreover, we show that for every faithful branch action of a group G on a spherically h

Purpose – Adaptation appears to be regarded as a panacea in policy circles to reduce the risk of impending crises resulting from contemporary changes, including but not restricted to climate change. Such conceptions can be problematic, generally assuming adaptation as an entirely positive and non-conflictual process. The purpose of this paper is to challenge such uncritical views, drawing attentio

Somalia is by scholars viewed as the definition of a "failed State". Somalia has been without a central and efficient government since 1991 and is still troubled by internal fighting and the lack of central control over the means of violence. In 2004, the 14th attempt to establish a government since 1991 was initiated, this interim government had no civil service or government buildings

The general theory of international trade points out that the economic growth of a country will be significantly affected by global economic fluctuation if this country shows an increased dependence on foreign countries in the economic field. After the Chinese government adopted reform and opening up policy in 1978, many exciting changes could be seen in this country. Now, although China is still

Abstract In this thesis I will discuss the relationship between the European Union and the regions of Europe. The development of the European Union has meant that many decisions are taken in Bruxelles. Many actors participate in the policyprocess ranging from national goverment to policynetworks of different kinds. An emerging actor has been the regions of Europe. Their influence on the policypro

The essay discusses underlying racism in the Swedish community and has, as a specific purpose, to illustrate and analyze how images of immigrants are constructed in a local setting. The questions at issue are: What established conceptions about racism exist and how are immigrants described by the youth in Sweden? Which racist manifestations are evident? To answer these questions, twelve interviews

The formation of ESDP (European Security and Defense Policy) is one of the most important building blocks shaping the European security structure and the European integration process since the beginning of the 21st century. Even though the integration engine was injured by the rejection of the European Constitutional Treaty in France and the Netherlands, the ESDP can be seen as currently one of th

Elevators has for a long period of time been regarded as unsafe to use as a means of egress. This is an opinion that has shifted in the last couple of years as technical solutions has been found to the initial problems when using elevators as an escape route. This report investigates the possibility to replace a staircase with emergency elevators as a means of egress in a buildning. The report als

Svensson (1997) föreslår att centralbanker på grund av implementerings- och utvärderingssvårigheter hos inflationsmål även bör ha ett mål för inflationsprognoser. Han argumenterar för detta med hjälp av en teoretisk modell som antar att den korta räntan, som centralbanken kontrollerar, påverkar BNP-gapet med en periods fördröjning, vilket sedan påverkar inflationen efter ännu en period. För att ma

Bosnia, a country torn by war in the 1990s, has yet not experienced reconciliation. Fifteen years after the war, fears are mounting, that Bosnia is again teetering toward crisis. This paper explores an under-studied factor in reconciliation – the meaning of the city. The analysis is carried out and inspired by Scott. A. Bollens theoretical framework, arguing that cities are physically, socially, p

I goda som svåra tider är den ekonomiska situationen ett ofta förekommande diskussionsämne i den politiska världen. Uppsatsen handlar om hur regeringars väljarstöd påverkas av makroekonomiska faktorer som arbetslöshet, inflation och BNP tillväxt. Teorin baseras på ”the responsibility hypothesis” som innebär att väljarna håller den sittande regeringen ansvarig för den ekonomiska utvecklingen. För a
