In this essay, I use discourse theory on three versions of the Swedish abortion law: the current law from 2016, the law from 1974 and a bill from an abortion committee added in 1965. I also do a thematic content analysis on a parliamentary bill from 1974 discussing the need for and the purpose of a more permissive law. The history of the Swedish abortion law is diverse. In 1938, the law stated tha
In recent years the liberal representative democracy has been subject of a substantial critique because of its inability to accommodate difference and create a genuinely democratic political process. One such critique comes from the theory of deliberative democracy. Supporters of deliberative democracy try to promote a model of democracy that take its vantage point in free and equal deliberation

Ex gratia betyder ”av nåd” och är en ersättning som regeringen kan bevilja utan att det finns lagstöd för rätt till ersättning. Det finns flera anledningar till en sådan ersättningsform. Det kan ex. vara så att samhället har ändrat värderingar och att en tidigare lagstiftning har drabbat vissa individer på ett sådant sätt att samhället i efterhand vill ta ansvar och genom en ekonomisk ersättning fEx gratia means ”of mercy” and can be granted by the government when they find it motivated to compensate individuals economically even though the individual has no rightful legal claim. Such compensation is motivated by various reasons. For instance it can be that society has gone through a change of values and that previous legislation as a result has affected some individuals in such a way that

My thesis was initiated in a face where I had a chosen site which I feel both love and hate towards. This paradox motivated me to form a future plan for this place. The love I feel lays in a form of projected memory of a place which today not feels more then just an abandoned place. In a landscape, approximately 70 meters from the water in a seaside village in the south of Skåne, the old restaura
Prisutvecklingen på skogsfastighetsmarknaden styrs av ett flertal olika faktorer. Den senaste tiden har köparnas incitament förändrats. Från att tidigare ha värderat god ekonomisk avkastning som viktigaste faktor vid förvärv har icke-monetära faktorer fått större inflytande. Avkastningsvärdering är den i särklass främst använda metoden vid värdering av skogsfastigheter då den ger en uppskattning aForest property prices depend on several factors such as rate, GDP and market demand. The prices are also affected by factors of individual properties. These are for instance size, timber volume and land consolidation. Yield valuation is the most common tool for valuation of forest properties. This method will often require an adjustment to adapt the prices according to the market. The discrepancy
Does my belief actually matter in the dialogue with a person of another religion or denomination? Two often occurring themes within Gavin D'Costa's and Paul Knitter's explorations within the realm of theology of religions are dialogue and the possibility to learn from someone with whom I do not share beliefs. The essay at hand studies how D'Costa and Knitter relate to different, Ch
In this essay I have studied the video game Mass Effect franchise as an intermedia and transmedia phenomena. For the analysis of the empirical material I have adopted media scholar Henry Jenkins’ concept of transmedia storytelling. The purpose of this paper is to show how transmedia storytelling can appear around the 2010th century. To do so I have mapped out the different Mass Effect products in
Popular Abstract in Swedish I Sverige finns cirka 350 000 personer med diabetes. Motsvarande siffra i hela världen är cirka 350 miljoner människor och forskning talar för att antalet personer med diabetes kommer att öka dramatiskt under de närmsta decennierna. Den största ökningen sker i utvecklingsländer i urbana områden, till stor del beroende på livsstilsförändringar och förändringar i diet.

The purpose of this thesis is to analyse how the Swedish newspapers' use of party-preference polls has changed over time. I study 246 articles published by Göteborgs-Posten, Dagens Nyheter, Aftonbladet and Expressen, and compare the time-period 1994-1996 with 2010-2012. Amongst other things, I look at the news-papers' reporting of basic statistical information in their polls, as well as th
In this thesis I studied how the level of cooperation has changed in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) since the Cold War, as the international arena went from being a bipolar power structure to a unipolar one. My perspective on cooperation was based on the theory of realism. In order to answer these questions I analyzed veto usage and the resolutions as indicators of cooperation. Veto us
