Popular Abstract in English Does subjectivism in value theory — the view that value is grounded on attitudes — imply that when we think and talk about what is good and bad we must necessarily be thinking and talking about our desires and other attitudes? Does value subjectivism entail that evaluative utterances are reports or expressions of the speaker’s attitude? Are subjectivists committed to anThe thesis examines a specific way of understanding the subjectivist position in value theory according to which subjectivism is the view that value is grounded on attitudes. It is argued that this should be seen as a second-order claim about the nature of value although with pluralistic implications on the substantial, first-order level. Subjectivist analyses of final and intrinsic value and of r
This dissertation investigates theoretically electric control of the magnetic properties of molecular magnets. Two classes of magnetic molecules are considered. The first class consists of molecules that are spin frustrated. As a consequence of the frustration, the ground-state manifold of these molecules is characterized by states of different spin chirality, which can be coupled by an external e

A Journey to the Land of Contradictions - The Depiction of Romania in Swedish Guidebooks 1964-1981. In the construction of countries as tourist destinations, travel literature – such as guidebooks – plays an integral role in deciding what places to visit and how these should be perceived. The Socialist Republic of Romania began a large-scale investment in its tourism industry in the 1950s, with a
Regelverket rörande myndigheters handläggningstider är, där det ens existerar, fragmenterat och spritt över ett stort antal lagar. De generella reglerna i 7 § förvaltningslagen har mer av en målsättningskaraktär. Den stora spridningen av reglerna får till resultat att övergripande förändringar, exempelvis ett införande av dröjsmålstalan, får svåröverskådliga effekter. Om en samlad översyn gör i saThe regulatory framework regarding the authorities’ processing times is fragmented and spread across a large number of laws. The general rules of the Swedish Administrative Procedure Act concerning processing times are more of an objective for authorities to strive for. As a result of this fragmentation, it’s difficult to foresee effects of major changes to the regulatory framework. Nevertheless,
Eutrophication is one of EUs most severe environmental problems. It is therefore of great importance that governments have well functioning environmental policy instruments to manage this problem and it is essential to assess these instruments. This study evaluates the Swedish environmental policy instrument Local Water Protection Project (LOVA), which aims to reduce the release of the nutrients n
Children are entitled to an economic standard that is comparable with the standard that their parents have. This principle is reflected in the child’s right to receive an addition to the average maintenance allowance, a so-called standard addition. In year 2013, the Supreme Court stated that a child who lives alternately with their parents are entitled to a maintenance allow-ance. By applying arti
The factors behind the struggle for women’s empowerment in Iran are a combination of social, religio-cultural and traditional constraints. These have been institutionalized through the legal and legislative system, as well as the informal traditional practices in the public and private spheres. The Iranian legislative apparatus which directly and indirectly poses constraints on women’s presence in

In this master’s thesis I have studied the 7th section of the 2nd chapter in the Swedish environmental code (miljöbalken 1998:808). The regulation encompasses the proportionality principle of environmental consideration. Its purpose is to avoid that costly countermeasures are imposed that have limited or no negative impact on the environment. The proportionality principle in the environmental code
The aim of this thesis is to describe and analyse Swedish-German contacts in medicine 1933-1945. It shows how the National Socialist German Physicians’ Federation (NSDÄB) tried to strengthen connections with the Swedish medical profession and academic medicine and to spread NS-propaganda to carefully selected Swedish physicians. The dissertation consists of four papers. In the first paper the inte
In Sweden the Sami people is a national minority of indigenous people. Traditionally they are living in northern Sweden but can be found all over the country. The Church of Sweden has a long tradition of giving church services using the native Sami language in the Swedish part of Sapmi, the Sami people name of their land. The problem of recruiting Sami speaking clergy has always been great and dif
Samhället präglas av digital utveckling som anses medföra stora fördelar. Inom det juridiska området tar primärt EU digitaliseringen i anspråk vid sin verksamhet. Sverige har högt uppsatta digitaliseringsmål men är inte lika lyckade som EU på att lagtekniskt följa med i denna utveckling. Med utgångspunkt i digitaliseringen av samhället utreds i den här uppsatsen huruvida det är möjligt att, utifråSociety is characterized by digital development, which is considered to bring great benefits. In the legal field it is primarily the EU that uses means towards digitalization in its operations. Sweden’s goals for digitalization are high but the country has not been as successful as the EU in staying current with the development judicially. With the digitization of society as its basis, this paper
This bachelor thesis aims to explore human activities in marine environments, and further reflect on how they are connected to sustainable development from an ecological standpoint. It will do so through a case study of the Danish-Swedish channel Öresund, also known as the shortest shipping route from the North Sea and the Atlantic and to the Baltic Sea. Together with the Great and Little Belt cha
Varje år dör runt 40 till 60 arbetare på svenska arbetsplatser. För att sätta det i kontext kan nämnas att 43 människor miste livet i dödligt skjutvapenvåld år 2018. Arbetsplatsolyckor inträffar trots att det inte sällan finns tydliga varningssignaler och möjligheter till säkerhetsåtgärder, varför ett flertal sannolikt hade kunnat förhindras. Detta arbete undersöker arbetsmiljöbrott genom en rättsEach year around 40 to 60 workers die at Swedish worksites. In a wider context, it can be mentioned that 43 people lost their lives due to lethal use of firearms in 2018. Workplace fatalities occur even though there are often clear warning signs and possibilities of safety measures, which is why a great number of workplace fatalities likely could have been prevented. This thesis examines workplace
