In this modern period, societal and religious groups are strongly divided regarding the acceptability of abortion. Despite so many attempts by various groups to find a middle ground, the debate on abortion still remains largely polarized, at its most dramatic point with the extreme conservatives claiming abortion to be the moral equivalent of murder and the extreme liberals see it as devoid of moral import. And this polarization is due to the legal battle that continues to shadow moral discussions. An acceptance of an ethical nuance will here play as a concession on the deeply contested question of whether abortion should be a legally protected option for a woman, and to an extent blame for the continued crudeness which can be laid at the doorstep of a moral theory itself. Apparently, the ethical literature on abortion has focused almost exclusively on the tiniest moral assessment on whether and when abortion is morally permissible.

Denna rapport beskriver utvecklingen av ett textbaserat webbspel från idé till en fungerande produkt. Den förser läsaren med en översikt av speldesignern, beskriver några av teknikerna som använts och diskuterar några av de viktigare lösningarna lite mer på djupet. Målet med projektet har varit att utveckla ett textbaserat webbspel som utgår från grunderna i ett sports management spel blandat med fantasyinslag. Tekniker som använts under projektet är framförallt PHP (scriptning) och MySQL (databas) för att skapa en dynamisk webbsida som använder XHTML för strukturen och CSS för presentationen. Resultatet är ett grundläggande fungerande spel som kan spelas i de flesta webbläsare och fungerar som en bra grund för fortsatt utveckling..

"Landscapes for Spontaneous Sport" The main aim with this degree thesis is to show how planning and design of urban space can promote spontaneous sport. Public health and urban life would benefit from re-introducing the sport and physical activity in the townscape. The study can be seen as an "inspiration book" that focuses on the connection between sports and landscape architecture. The starting-point for the discussion is the fact that the spontaneous sport is on the decline and the main general question is how this negative trend could be broken. In particular the study asks how landscape architecture could promote and increase spontaneous sport. Good examples of places for spontaneous sports of different kinds are given, both from Sweden and from other countries, which have inspired a case study where I propose a redesign of a centrally located, but hardly used park in Skäggetorp, a suburb of the town of Linköping. .
