During the past decades there is a growing interest to include a cultural dimension in the debate on sustainable development. In this thesis I explore how culture, and more specifically the Flemish cultural sector, contributes to the transition to a sustainable society. By means of case studies, I examine how cultural organizations perceive their role in the transition process and how they transla

Rum för kontemplation. En plats för eftertanke och stillhet. Vi lever i en värld som går snabbare och snabbare. En urban värld där vi är ständigt uppkopplade, ett prestationssamhälle där ett behov för kontemplation glöms bort. Vilka rum vänder vi oss till för stillhet i vardagen och hur ser egentligen ett rum för kontemplation ut? Arbetet tar avstamp i frågeställningen: “Vilka egenskaper känneteckSpace for contemplation. A place for afterthought and reflection. We live in a world that spins faster and faster. A universe full of impressions, information and experiences are effecting our stress level in a bad way, and our need for quietness and contemplation is forgotten. Where do we go for a minute in silence and serenity? The work has its starting point in the questions: “Which qualities b
Syftet med denna uppsats är att diskutera och analysera huruvida fenomenet ”spanska fönstret” utgör en skattelucka som möjliggör undkommande av kapitalvinstbeskattning vid en flytt från Sverige till Spanien. Detta har utretts mot bakgrund av ett skattenomadstillstånd och skatteavtalet mellan Sverige och Spanien. Rekvisit som ”skattskyldig” och ”hemvist” i artikel 4 i skatteavtalet mellan Sverige oThe purpose of this essay is to discuss and analyze whether the phenomenon called "the Spanish window" consitutes a loop hole that creates a possibility to avoid having to pay tax on capital gains upon emigrating from Sweden to Spain.

The Supreme Court declared §4(b) of the Voting Right Act (1965) unconstitutional in the case of Shelby County v Holder 570 U.S. in 2013. This is a recent decision regarding disenfranchisement towards African Americans which ends up not protecting the civil rights of all American citizens. Discrimination is nothing new in the United States but has become institutionalized over time which makes it h
This report has been conducted to examine the advantages and disadvantages of using an open system for experiments in the cone calorimeter with a vitiated air enclosure at low oxygen levels. Eight different experimental set-ups were conducted in which two were designed according to ISO 5660, i.e. the cone calorimeter in its standard configuration. In the other experimental set-ups, a chamber which

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka till vilken grad FN:s deklaration om de universella mänskliga rättigheterna (UDHR) kan anses vara präglad av en västerländsk uppfattning om mänskliga rättigheter. För att avgöra detta tittar jag på dels UDHR:s tillkomst, dels på dess innehåll och jämför detta med andra rättighetskataloger och deras bakomliggande rättstraditioner. Fokuset ligger på hur UDHRThe purpose of this essay is to critically examine if the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (the UDHR) is characterized by a Western perception of human rights and to examine the effects of such a characterization. This is attempted through studying the process in drafting and passing the Declaration and by looking at the content of the Declaration. When looking at the drafting and passing o
Blockkedje-teknologin har skapat ett nytt verktyg för avtalsingående, så kallade smarta kontrakt. Smarta kontrakt möjliggör decentraliserade, digitala och autonoma avtal som exekveras av sig själva när ett antal parametrar är uppfyllda. En grundläggande fråga är om avtal enligt svensk rätt kan ingås på detta sätt. Av denna anledning ställer uppsatsen frågan om huruvida smarta kontrakt uppfyller föBlockchain technology has created a new tool for contract formation: smart contracts. Smart contracts enable decentralized, digital, and autonomous contracts that self-execute when a set of parameters is met. Can contracts under Swedish law be entered into through smart contracts? This is an important question to answer. For that reason, the paper poses the question of whether smart contracts meet
Beginning in the late 20th century, public libraries in Sweden have been offering its patrons the opportunity to check out films just as they would books.

I denna uppsats undersöker jag mötet mellan AI och utomobligatorisk ska-deståndsrätt ur ett EU-perspektiv. Jag presenterar två föreslagna direktiv och diskuterar hur dessa kompletterar varandra för att skapa en lagstiftning som är lika effektiv i tekniskt komplicerade fall där rekvisiten är svårare att uppfylla. Jag undersöker också konceptet regulatorisk sandlåda, dess förde-lar ur ett utvecklarpIn this paper, I investigate how the EU plans to address AI in the area of non-contractual liability. I present two proposed directives and discuss how these supplement each other to create a liability regime that remains potent as the cases to which it is applied grow increasingly complicated and condi-tions harder to prove. Secondly, I address the concept of regulatory sand-boxes, its potential
The purpose of this degree essay is to explore the processes of subjectification and objectification of four different female characters as consequences of contact with an ominous element. Some of the characters experience the ominous from an outside perspective and others through the character itself personifying the ominous element. The exploration begins with two stories by Emilia Pardo Bazán,
Non-academic articles on websites propose adult learning principles without including evidence of academic theory as a validation. As organizations rely on these principles to design adult learning, it is important that organizations are aware of validated principles to make adult learning successful. This study reviews what prominent principles of adult learning can be validated by theory. This i
