Our purpose with this essay is to find explanations to the genesis of the Swedish law against prostitution now in power, known as Sexköpslagen 1998:408. We enter deeply into the official reports behind the law. This Swedish law implies that in a sex trade a crime is committed only by the consumer, and not by the seller. Our essay will result in an analysis of what sexköpslagen is an expression for. Our assumption is that the so called ideology of (gender) equality in Sweden might be a part of the explanation to the genesis of sexköpslagen.

Osteoporos eller benskörhet, är en folksjukdom som vanligen inträffar i samband med åldrandet. För att kunna diagnostisera, upptäcka och följa frakturrisk i god tid är det bra om en bentäthetsmätning görs. Bentäthetsmätning eller bendensitometri utnyttjar metoden Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). För att kunna bedöma metodens reproducerbarhet rekommenderas att periodvis genomföra en kvalitetssäkring vid bentäthetsmätning, eftersom det är en kvantitativ mätning. Syftet med studien var att kvalitetssäkra metoden för bentäthetsmätning.

The students have been assigned a task from Consid, were they are supposed to develop a web based platform for handling the company?s consult CV:s. The key features of the system are to simplify the administration part at mission procurements towards customers and to match qualified consultants to certain missions.Consid is an international it-consult company and have about 1000 consults working for them.

After the initial meetings and the closer it came to the beginning of programming it became clear that the expectations were too big.

The world is yet to experience world peace, a peace that is hindered by ongoing conflicts that escalate into wars around the globe. Therefore, peace can only be possible if conflicts are restricted and resolved to prohibit war, creating and maintaining peace. This study will be constructed around this assumption, but will include a moral variable and answer: is there a moral conflict-solving road to peace?The study will be directed around appeasement, economic sanctions and war as conflict resolving agents for peace. I will construct a typology with common features by using empirical material; a topology that will then be analyzed using two opposing ethical theories, consequentialism and common morality.The analysis will be constructed around the above mentioned question.

Syftet med min uppsats är att undersöka hur arbetet med International Child Development Programme (ICDP), Vägledande samspel, fungerar i skolan. Jag vill se hur pedagogerna som utgår från ICDP arbetar i den vardagliga verksamheten och även ta reda på pedagogernas inställning till att arbeta med ICDP. Jag vill undersöka detta eftersom ett gott förhållningssätt är ytterst viktigt för ett bra samspel. Vidare vill jag undersöka om det finns några svårigheter när man arbetar med ICDP och vad det i sådana fall kan vara. För att ta reda på detta ska jag genomföra intervjuer med pedagogerna samt observera dem under lektionstid i klassrummet.

Men för personer med funktionsnedsättning är förutsättningarna inte nödvändigtvis detsamma. Strax över en kvarts miljon människor med funktionshinder står idag utan sysselsättning och det i en tid då det politiska budskapet tydligt talar för att all potentiell arbetskraft behövs för att upprätthålla nivån på vår välfärd. Samtidigt visar oroväckande statistik att personer med funktionsnedsättning utsätts för diskriminering när de söker arbete.Arbetet belyser dels vilka skyldigheter arbetsgivare har vid en rekryteringsprocess för att inte en arbetssökande med funktionsnedsättning ska utsättas för diskriminering och dels vilka incitament som finns att tillgå för att underlätta för personer med funktionshinder att beredas plats i arbete.
