Every year approx. 110 billion SEK is being used In Sweden to finance research. The government contributes with 22 percent, i.e. approx. 25 billion SEK.

The purpose of this candidate thesis is to obtain an overall picture of how many prohibitions against owning or taking care of animals that were announced in Sweden in the years 2006-2008 and on what basis these judicial decisions were taken. What is the situation for the person behind the judicial decisions? Is there a so-called risk category where preventive actions to solve the problem can be taken at an earlier stage?The first Swedish animal welfare legislation came into force in 1944. Previously there was a law of 1857 that only prohibited the maltreatment of farm animals. In 1988 the existing animal welfare law was revised into an in principle new law (1988:534).As early as in the Royal Majesty?s government bill (1944:43) to the 1944 animal welfare legislation, there was a proposal that issued prohibition for those having been convicted of aggravated cruelty to animals.

I uppsatsen studeras de femton filmer som som vunnit en Guldbagge för bästa dokumentärfilm 2000-2014. Filmernas uttrycksform har analyserats med stöd av Bill Nichols teoretiska modell om olika modus inom dokumentärfilmen. En jämförande studie av trender inom den internationella dokumentärfilmen visar hur de svenska filmerna förhåller sig till dokumentärfilm i omvärlden och till det senaste decenniets nya uttrycksformer, som olika former av interaktiva dokumentärfilmer. Då filmerna är utvalda som bästa dokumentärfilm under respektive år bör en analys av filmerna ge en bild av vilka kvaliteter som premierats av nomineringsgruppen och juryn för Guldbaggen under 2000-talet. Uppsatsens resultat är att filmskaparnas val av uttrycksform varierar under tidsperioden, men att ett modus dominerar, samt att det utifrån de uttrycksmedel som filmskaparna använder går att se ett genomgående mönster i de filmer som belönats med en Guldbagge..

The socialdemokrats? long possession of government power from the 1930?s to 1976 gave them the opportunity to put their stamp on Swedish domestic and foreign affairs in the shadow of the cold war. The government policy in security and foreign affairs, therefore, was that of the socialdemokratic party. The stance of the government has been researched, but it lacks focus on the opposition. The purpose of this paper is to analyse Folkpartiet´s view of security and foreign affairs in comparison with government policy.

AbstractPaper in political science, C-level, by Lars A Roos, spring semester 2007. Tutor: Susan Marton. ?Policy networks and Nord Stream.?The purpose of this paper is to examine how the government and interest groups have been working together to commonly prevent the building of a gas pipeline in the Baltic Sea. To do this, a comprehensive question how does the government and the involved interest groups work together in policy networks? has been broken down to three more specific questions: (1) Can the cooperation between the government and the interest groups be placed within the frame of a issue network or a policy community? (2) Has the cooperation between the government and the interest groups contributed to new tools for the government to prevent the gas pipeline? (3) If the answer is yes to the second question then, which are these new tools?My examination is a case study of the policy network that exists around the Swedish actors in the case of the Baltic Sea gas pipeline.

Swedish design is known all over the world and is seen in national as well as in international arenas. There is only one design organization in Sweden that has the task to represent Swedish design in public. The organization is Swedish Form and it is the oldest design organization in the world. It has a huge influence in our society, within design and form. In the end of 1990 the association received its first government assignment, which still continues.

In this study, I have examined the previous Social Democratic government?s communication with the voters, focusing on its promises during election campaigns, and the presentation of achieved results. The theories used are the mandate- and sanction theory; the first focuses on voters comparing manifestos to find the most agreeable, whilst the latter concentrates on voters evaluation the work of the previous government, to either discharge or support it. For the sanction theory to work, voters must have the necessary information to evaluate the government in progress. The question is; did the previous government provide the voters with such information?This has been done through scrutinizing the Social Democrats? election manifestos that was used between 1994 and 2006, to examine what the party promised to achieve in economics and the labor market.

Every year the Swedish government invests capital in different projects. In recent years the Swedish government has chosen to invest in design. The reason for this is that the government wants industry to use design as a competitive source. Two organizations, Svensk Form and Stiftelsen Svensk Indistridesign, have been assigned to improve industry and society?s under¬standing of design.

Frågeformulering: Vilka faktorer är det som avgör utvecklingen av offentliga e-tjänster?Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att utvärdera och undersöka nuläge och framtida behov av e-förvaltning inom kommunala myndigheter i stockholms området.Metod: Vi har använt oss av både en kvantitativ och en kvalitativ metod..

This essay is a normative analysis concerning the question of whether the government should be allowed to use taxes to finance the state. What kind of ethical problems arise when the government use taxation? If it is possible to justify taxation, despite potential moral issues, then what should the government do with the funds they have collected? What kinds of government functions are morally justified? Is it merely the kinds of functions that are supposed to uphold negative human rights; or should the government provide health care, education and even culture for the citizens? This analysis aims to answer those questions and also formulate a principle about what the government should be occupied with, if anything at all. In order to achieve this I mainly use the terms freedom and justice to analyse ethical problems. The ideas of John Rawls and Robert Nozick are essential in this project.My answer is that taxation is justified as long as the purpose is to maintain the most fundamental human rights and also under other special circumstances such as if an individual cannot find a way to finance basic education or necessary health care.

By the time the law of preferential right was legislated the purpose of the law was to give all creditors equal rights. The purpose of this master?s thesis is to analyze the law in force and unravel whether the purpose of the law has been fulfilled or not. If a deviation has been made I will decide whether it can be justified.Since 1st of January 2004 the preferential right regarding taxes has been abolished. Since then the claims of the Government do not have any preferential right.

Denna studie visar att sidvallsängarna som fanns i Västmanland år 1910 i stor utsträckning har övergått till den marktyp som låg runt omkring dem. Där sidvallsängen omges av skogliga bygder har ängen övergått till skog eller sumpskog. Där sidvallsängen omges av jordbruksbygder har ängen övergått till åker, betesmarker, bebyggelse eller andra öppnare markanvändningar. De sidvallsängar som finns kvar på 2000-talet omges av en högre andel åker samt bete samt buskmark än genomsnittet både 1910 och idag. Däremot har skogsmark en negativ inverkan på sidvallsängarnas överlevnad.
