Liberal theorists typically argue that state action should not favor any particular conception of the good or meaningful life. On this view the defining characteristic of the liberal state is neutrality among rivaling ideas of the good. This thesis argues that state neutrality is impossible to maintain in practice. Two different versions of state neutrality; neutral justification and neutral aims, are used to analyze a wide range of political issues. It is concluded that far from being neutral, the liberal state favors individualistic and market oriented conceptions of the good life.

1st of may 2003, a new energy system based on electricity certificates, was initiated in Sweden. The purpose with this system, is to stimulate an enlargement of energy production from renewable sources. The electricity system, ist built on that the producers of energy from renewable sources confer a electricity certificate from the government for every produced MW energy from renewable sources. The electricity certificate is supposed to be turned over and with that generate reciepts to the producers. Furthermore there is an obligation for the energyusers und energysuppliers, that means that the users and the suppliers every year the 1st of april got to have electricity certificates in proportion to their energy consumption during previous year.

This paper argues that the food industry in general and the one taking place in Scania in particular, are disregarded in the official management of industrial preservation carried out in Sweden today. Despite the articulated ambition of a cultural heritage that as many as possible could identify with, the practice tend to create an industrial heritage based on stereotype ideas about the landscape in Sweden and the characteristics of industry. The way the open land of Scania differs from the traditional image of the appearance of Sweden, is used as one possible way to explain why the food industries of Scania are overseen in the management of industrial heritage. It is also argued that the high number of female employees might bee a reason why the food industries in general are given low priority in the practice of cultural heritage. By putting the Findus pea industry and the cultivated landscape that provides the factory with primary products against the official criteria for industrial memories, it is examined what values for preservation the food industry contain..

It appears from today's debate about the quality of social work and addiction treatment that largely focuses on the impact of recent various interventions in the hope of being able to alter social work's role in society and also the organizational structure. The debate points to a part of the 1970s social welfare debate. Today's aspirations to establish an evidence-based practice can hardly be expected to solve the social services basic dilemmas is that it always have to do something, despite the many times you cannot get clear instructions on which funds should be used by law or science. Even if you follow the rules and practices based on scientific studies should the importance of various key initiatives to remedy deficiencies in social service work with addicts in large part depend on how, in these initiatives define the term "evidence-based practice" and what steps will be indicated for to develop practice. My starting point was to explore how evidence-based social work in connection with medication-assisted treatment for opiate addiction look, which evidence-based interventions Social Services currently uses in connection with medication-assisted treatment for opiate addiction, as well as how to work with it in the ordinary course of business. The study showed that social services have become better at using these methods in recent years and that today there are more tools available than before.

Det är välkänt att högreflekterande ytor är svåra att skanna med ett bra resultat. Detta är ett särskilt stort problem vid användning av detaljskannrar, eftersom de ofta används för att digitalisera objekt av metall eller andra material med hög reflektans. Konsekvensen blir att osäkerhet och avvikelser i skanningsresultatet ökar, eller att skanningen inte ger något resultat alls. Därför är det viktigt att känna till hur stor inverkan ytor med hög reflektans har på skanningen. Målsättningen med detta examensarbete har varit att undersöka hur avvikelsen varierar vid skanning av högreflekterande ytor.

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how students writing their master thesis seek information, how they reason about their information seeking behaviour and how their studies in LIS could have affected their information seeking behaviour. The result was analysed with Roger Säljö?s theory about the sociocultural perspective about how individuals learn in relation to their context and the social practice that they act in. The following conclusions were drawn from analysing the result. The students didn?t really reflect over their information seeking behaviour.

För att skapa en effektiv och konkurrenskraftig kapitalmarknad har Europeiska Unionen beslutat om en gemensam redovisningsstandard som trädde i kraft år 2005. IAS 39 är en standard för redovisning och värdering av finansiella instrument. Enligt denna ska finansiella instrument värderas till verkligt värde och värdeförändringar ska påverka det redovisade resultatet eller eget kapital. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om IAS 39 har skapat en mer rättvisande bild av företagets finansiella ställning till dess intressenter samt hur revisorernas arbetssätt har anpassats. Efter den empiriska undersökningen bestående av fyra intervjuer med revisorer kan uppsatsförfattarna konstatera att det föreligger delade meningar huruvida en mer rättvisande bild har skapats.

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka skillnader i upplevelse av självkänsla, ångest och depression samt att koppla det till prestation hos gymnasieelever. Studien granskar även genusskillnader. Datainsamlingen sker med ett eget instrument för bakgrundsvariabler samt med beprövade instrument för självkänsla, ångest och depression. För att mäta elevernas prestation används elevers enskilda provresultat. Resultaten visar att det inte finns något samband mellan elevers grad av självkänsla, ångest och deras prestation.

Pressure ulcers are a complication caused by disease, care and treatment and can result in great suffering for the patient. Pressure ulcers can affect people both physically and psychosocially and is experienced, by most patients, as a serious and unnecessary complication of care.
