The Brussels I-Regulation, often referred to as the Jurisdiction Regulation, is said to be the matrix of the European judicial cooperation system within the area of international private law. The Regulation states how jurisdiction is to be determined in an international dispute. The aim of the Regulation is to ensure that parties in a dispute within the EU have access to justice.The Regulation is considered to be working well in general, and have been since it came in-to force in 2007. Although it is held to be well functioning it does not exclude that some improvements might be needed. The commission ordered a review of the Regulation and the result was that some deficiencies were identified.

Monster fyller en väldigt viktig roll i dagens skräckfilm och skräckspel där en av deras största uppgifter är att vara skrämmande. Denna uppsats är en studie som fokuserar på hur man designar skrämmande monster inom spel och film. Vi har, med hjälp av teoretiska tolkningar, tagit reda på faktorer som kan påverka vad människor ser som monster samt hur man kan göra monstret skrämmande på en kognitiv nivå. Exempel på sådana här faktorer är kultur, etnicitet, religion. Även sexism och rasism har en betydelse i detta samband.

The thesis has two purposes. First, to give a practical insight into the challenges that Swedish companies might face, and how these challenges are tackled, when implementing strategy in a local area. Second, to develop a general applicable model as a conceptual contribution to the field of international strategy implementation in local areas. This empirical-driven thesis is written in a qualitative and explorative approach, where abduction is adopted in order to find mysteries and contribute to the forming of new theories. The empirical foundation is twenty-two interviews and observations of three large Swedish companies.

Uppsatsen granskar om det finns specifika narrativa mo?nster fo?r hur antagonister do?r i samtida amerikansk film med den klassiska bera?ttarstilen eller den s.k. postklassiska bera?ttarstilen (dvs. Hollywoodfilm).

AbstractSyftet med detta arbete är att ta reda på om Bollywoodfilmer innehåller korta eller långa sekvenser med mindre ingående eller mer ingående sekvenser med religiöst innehåll. Detta har genomförts genom att jag först har skaffat en bakgrundskunskap om filmindustrin Bollywood, om Indien, och om hinduismen.                      För att genomföra undersökningen studerades fem Bollywoodfilmer och alla sekvenser med religiöst innehåll antecknades. Dessa sekvenser analyserades sedan och fick antingen stämpeln kort, mindre ingående eller längre, mer ingående.                       Resultatet blev att antalet sekvenser i filmerna varierar väldigt mycket från film till film. En film kunde innehålla endast kortare mindre ingående sekvenser eller många korta mindre ingående sekvenser och flera längre mer ingående sekvenser. Något som dock påverkade antalet sekvenser i filmerna var speltiden, de längre filmerna innehåller fler sekvenser än de kortare filmerna.Slutresultatet är att de kortare, mindre ingående sekvenserna är klart dominerande i Bollywoodfilmer. Nyckelord: Bollywood, hinduismen, Indien, Tid av glädje tid av sorg, Paheli, Lagaan, Marigold, Devdas..

The National Libraries task to save and preserve the national cultural heritage has turned to a new challenge in a digital world. The preservation of born-digital material for future use requires not only saving the digital object itself but also information about the object, preservation metadata. This is a relatively new issue and the library community has very little experience in this area. It has become evident that international cooperation is necessary to solve the task and that the development of international standards is of fundamental significance. This thesis investigates what has been done to meet the problems with the fast obsolescence of digital material with the focus on metadata.

The conflict over Western Sahara is primarily a conflict over sovereignty, with Morocco on one side claiming territorial rights, and the Polisario Front on the other side claiming popular sovereignty. The conflict has till this day not been resolved and is in a dire need of a solution. In order to determine which solution is the most appropriate, an understanding of all the complex aspects of the conflict is required. In this context, the study aims to examine the conflict in a globalized setting by analyzing how the American news agency AP News portrays the conflict. The US media conglomerate was specifically chosen due to its dominance over international information flows.

Syftet med vårt examensarbete var att undersöka huruvida lärares intention vid filmvisning överensstämmer med elevernas reception av samma film. Om dessa två faktorer inte överensstämde, ville vi även titta närmare på vad det var som styrde efterarbetet av filmvisningen: lärarens intention eller elevernas reception? Dessutom ville vi undersöka om det var någon skillnad på elevernas reception om läraren innan filmvisningen antingen berättade respektive inte berättade om filmen eller gav respektive inte gav anvisningar om vad de skulle titta på i filmen. Undersökningen genomfördes med hjälp av intervju med en lärare, observationer under filmen, enkäter i anslutning till filmen och observationer av lärarens eftersamtal med eleverna. Resultatet av vår studie visade att elevernas och lärarens reception av en och samma film divergerar men att det är lärarens intention som främst styr efterarbetet.

En film om en lärare, hans personlighet och mötet med eleverna.

Syftet med detta arbete är att undersöka vilka känslor och associationer elever vid gymnasiets estetiska program får vid lyssning av musik som är för tänkt för film, men utan bild. Utifrån att endast lyssna på musiken vill jag se om elevernas tolkningar förefaller lika varandra och om det finns genusskillnader. Jag vill utforska musikens så kallade ?koder? som styr våra sinnen mot en speciell riktning och på vilka sätt den kan manipulera oss. Jag valde att spela upp fem delstycken (satser) av en komposition jag skrivit, avsedd att illustrera ett händelseförlopp i form av en filmsynopsis.

The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to examine whether there exists a hegemonic relationship between librarians and users of libraries with a focus on the librarians point of view. The future of movies in the library is also going to be examined. Qualitative interviews were conducted and were examined for signs of hegemony and habitus according to the respective theories. The results of these interviews showed that librarians were in favor of user suggestions to improve the libraries collection. We found that there exists a hegemonic relationship in the libraries, but that it was subliminal and unwanted.

The present paper is part of a project carried on by the Swedish Section of the International Commission of Jurists. Sweden has ratified several major international human rights instruments. Most of the rights are covered by national law, and only in exception is there a discrepancy between national and international law. Such a discrepancy is found in the UN Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination, in which the State parties agree on penalizing and prohibiting the founding of and participation in racist organizations. Sweden is not complying with this statute, despite the fact that the government has ratified the convention.

In 1975 the Indian president Indira Gandhi proclaimed the emergency period which would go on until 1977. Under this time approximately 8 million men and women were sterilized in the name of family planning. Many of them did not volunteer. This was not just an Indian con- cern because the family planning program was largely funded by international aid. The Swe- dish involvement in the program was debated 1977?1980, in what has been called ?SIDA?s Watergate?.

The purpose of this essay has been to investigate the research and national initiatives regarding film and Cineliteracy in the Swedish curriculum.The results show that, after all research, national initiatives and the continual clarification from the Swedish National Agency for Education concerning film's place in the Swedish subject, the vision of students cineliteracy not at all obtain an obvious place in the curriculum.The research points out the main causes behind this result to be teachers' lack of expertise and the fact that the formal education for future teachers in the subject still upholds traditional views on the subject of Swedish.The initiative presented in this essay also show lack of continuity, lack of adequate professional development opportunities for teachers and lack of practical guidance manuals to help teachers to develop and educate their pupils in line with current research and visions. .
