The globalization of political and economic processes is a growing moral concern for theologians and political philosophers alike. My thesis aims to outline, analyze, and compare church studies of globalization with global theories of justice.To do this, I draw upon recent studies of globalization made by the World Council of Churches (WCC) and the Lutheran World Federation (LWF). The WCC and LWF are two global reaching church organizations. They have a common aim of uniting churches for ecumenical dialogue and are involved in social, economic, political, and ecological questions. The WCC and LWF analyze globalization by applying biblical and theological principles from the Christian tradition.

Can coercive care be justified against drug and alcohol addicts or should treatment be offered on a strictly voluntary basis? This was one of the central questions debated in Sweden during the 70's when the development of a new social legislation, The Social Services Act (Socialtjänstlagen), took place. The first aim of this thesis was to analyse whether the arguments that were presented both in favour for and against coercion were sound. To achieve this, a method for analysing arguments was employed, where a sound argument is defined as acceptable, relevant and adequate. The analysed material consists of both official government reports and books of influential debaters.

SummaryUnjustified enrichment is an obvious part of the jurisprudence in the majority of countries in Europe. But not in the Nordic countries, and certainly not in Sweden. This depiction of the Swedish posture is based mostly on Hellner?s thesis from 1950. A lot has happened since then, not to mention Sweden?s entry in to the EU.

The purpose of this study was to examine in which extent the comments about news inthe comment fields, on Swedish news sites Facebook pages were deliberative.To fulfill this purpose we used a quantitative content analysis as a method to interpretthe data that we collected about 2203 reader comments from three news sites Facebookpages. Ju?rgen Habermas theory about deliberative democracy together with theoriesabout public space and Web 2.0 were the theories we based our study on. To determinethat a comment was deliberative it had to contain an argument and be written withtolerance and respect. Our result showed that most comments lacked either one or bothof these criteria?s and therefore weren?t deliberative.

Bakgrund och problem: Periodisering av inkomster till intäkter är en kompliceradredovisningsfråga. Komplikationen med att redovisa intäkter är att det är ett område där detges möjligheter för företagen att göra egna bedömningar. För att få tas upp i redovisningenmåste dessa bedömningar vara förenliga med den rättsliga standarden god redovisningssed.Under vissa omständigheter kan god redovisningssed medge mer än ett tänkbart alternativ förintäktsredovisning, I det fall Skatteverket anser att redovisningen inte är förenlig med godredovisningssed kan det leda fram till en tvist som kan prövas i domstol.Syfte: Uppsatsen syftar till att belysa vilka argument som framförts i en rättsprocess, hur deorganiseras i ett rättsfall, samt att undersöka deras trovärdighet i förhållande till en bestämdredovisningslösning avseende intäktsredovisning. Detta för att lyfta fram vilka argument somfår betydelse för vad som anses god redovisningssed i fallet.Avgränsningar: Studien gör en avgränsning att enbart omfatta intäkter ochintäktsredovisning. Ytterligare avgränsas uppsatsen till att diskutera svensk lagstiftning ochnormgivning inom redovisning.Metod: I uppsatsen används en kvalitativt inriktad metod.

Diskussionen om den kommunala förvaltningen och verksamheten är en högaktuell fråga i finsk politik. Både på statlig och kommunal nivå diskuteras huruvida det föreligger ett behov av förändring. Kommunsammanslagningar ses som en lösning på problemet. Den pågående Kommun- och servicestrukturreformen omfattar hela landet och kommunerna utreder möjligheterna för samarbete eller sammanslagningar. Uppsatsen undersöker argument och uttalade motiv för kommunsammanslagningar och omfattar tre perspektiv: det nationella, det juridiska och det lokala.

The aim of this masters thesis is to examine how some childrens librarians in public libraries reason about Wahlströms series books. During the 1970s, there was a discussion about the series books, and the general meaning was, among other things, that the books should not be available at libraries. Therefore, we also want to study if the arguments for and against the series books presented today are any different than those presented in the 1970s. For this examination, two methods have been used. We have done qualitative interviews with nine childrens librarians, and in order to find the arguments presented in the 1970s, we have studied the literature regarding the mentioned discussion.

Tankar om att samhällets material- och energiflöden måste slutas har under de senaste årtionden vuxit sig allt starkare. En stor del av dessa flöden hanteras inom de kommunaltekniska systemen. Kommuners avfallshantering är således av stor betydelse för kretsloppssamhällets måluppfyllelse. I denna studie belyses de resonemang som Göteborgs kommun fört kring hanteringen av hushållens bioavfall. Studien fokuserar på Göteborgs kretsloppsnämnd, dess beslutsunderlag och argumentation kring två ärenden kopplade till det biologiska avfallet.

Denna uppsats syfte är att studera utvalda delar av den moderna forskningen kring krig och konflikter.

Vi undersöker PMC:s potentiella roller ur två perspektiv.De forskare vi valt att fokusera på är Mary Kardor och hennes bok ?Nya krig?, samt Peter Wallensteen och hans bok ?Understanding Conflict Resolution: War, Peace and the Global System?.

The purpose of this Master?s thesis is to examine the relationship between fiction and resistance from a postcolonial and feminist perspective. More specifically, the study is an examination of this relationship in ten novels by the Nigerian writer Buchi Emecheta. The resistance is studied by examining the way it is depicted in the texts, as well as whether the texts can be seen as a form of opposition. Both the resistance and its context are studied.

This paper examines how the Swedish nationalistic political party Sverigedemokraterna communicates regarding the crisis they experienced when the Swedish newspaper Expressen published a few video clips of three, in that time, highly important party members that got in an argument after a late night of drinking. Two of the party members were at the time of the publication the members of the Swedish parliament and all of them had important senior positions in the party. In the argument one of the party members used abusive, offensive, sexist and racist language while all acted threatening and even armed themselves with iron bars from a nearby construction site.The aim of this paper is to examine how the party Sverigedemokraterna conducts their crisis communication, if they apologies and the fashion of the apology. A press conference with the party leader and the most active user of abusive language and also an interview with the second member of parliament who is involved in the argument are studied. The rhetorical arena is used to describe and pinpoint the most important stakeholders in the crisis.

English title: "Motivated system technician wanted" A study of the relationship between two parts in job advertisements". The purpose of this study is to describe the linguistics of job advertisements. The focus is on discursive practice and how the relation between employer and the proposed employee is created through the process of communication in job advertisements. The method concists of two parts: A critical discourse analysis using the three dimensional model for critical discourse analysis by Fairclough and a text analysis inspired by Hellspong & Ledin. 40 job advertisements were examined and the analysis revealed that the majority belongs to the category traditional job advertisement and a minority uses more than one discourse.

Denna studie gör en inventering av de argument som attraherar värdnationer till att ansöka om värdskap för megaevenemang. De megaevenamang som behandlas i uppsatsen är fotbolls-VM i Tyskland 2006 och fotbolls-VM i Sydafrika 2010. ?De ekonomiska framgångar som antas för värdnationerna visar sig oftast vara felaktiga då kostnaderna underskattats och intäkterna överskattats. Att vara värd för så stora megaevenemang kräver stora förpliktelser från både offentliga och privata resurser under en lång tidsperiod. Ett värdskap för fotbolls-VM kan ge värdnationen de resurser de behöver för att skapa ett meningsfullt socialt liv och att förändra faktorer som underbygger detta.

The two most controversial ends of life decisions are those in which physicians help patients take their lives and when the physician deliberately and directly intervenes to end the patients? life upon his request. These are often referred to as voluntary euthanasia and physician assisted suicide. Voluntary euthanasia and physician assisted suicide have continued to be controversial public issues. This controversy has agitated the minds of great thinkers including ethicians, physicians, psychologists, moralists, philosophers even the patient himself.

The purpose of our essay is to examine if variation exists in the way that auditors try their independence, this so called analysis-model. We will suggest some factors that influence the way auditors practise the analysis-model. The institutional theory predicts no differencies since the normative pressure could be expected to be severe. But we found that among other things people?s qualifications, personalities and audit firm?s size and age influence the way auditors try their independence.
