Children who are exposed to crime are a delicate issue. The purpose of this study was to describe and analyze children's narratives in the juridical process. Our primary questions focused on how adults could help children to express their experiences and what kind of elements imposed the narrative. How is the narrative structured? How does the court evaluate children's testimonies? What increases the credibility of a child's testimony? Our theoretical standpoints are derived from: the narrative perspective, theory of communication, and theory of evaluation.

In today?s society it is not uncommon for people to move across borders. We are more likely to work and study in other countries, initiate cross-border relationships, acquire property in other states and change our residence. Therefore it is not uncommon for a per-son to leave inheritance in several states. The laws of succession differ between countries which creates an uncertainty among the devisors when planning their successions.

One fundamental principle in Swedish contract law is that passive acceptance does not constitute a binding acceptance of an offer. Still, business owners use the consumers unknowing of this, and form offers saying passivity will lead to a binding agreement. Business owners are thus trying to ?negatively bind? the consumer to agreements. There are rules prohibiting this kind of actions in the Swedish marketing law (MFL).In order to find out what constitutes this forbidden kind of agreement-entering according to the Swedish Market Court, an analysis of seven cases settled between 2002-2009 and concerning consumers in these situations, is made.

The child perspective is a complex area primarily because of its many ways of interpretation but also because children are considered to be less competent than adults. Our hypothesis was that adults in court-proceedings make decisions in the child?s place. The aim of this study was to investigate the judicial meaning of the child perspective in ?Socialtjänstlagen? (SoL) and ?lag om särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga? (LVU).

Freedom of religion or belief is indisputable in Human rights discourse, more discussed is exactly what it is that is included in the concept of freedom of religion or belief (in Swedish: religionsfrihet). This thesis focuses on the freedom of religion or belief in a European context, in particular on the European court of human rights and article 9 in the European convention for human rights. Some criticism has been directed against the Court to the effect that its practice and verdicts don't answer to the pronounced desire to develop a pluralistic and inclusive form of freedom of religion or belief.My aim is to examine, analyse and test three different theories, which all try to develop alternatives to the expression freedom of religion or belief, in relation to six verdicts from article 9 in Europe convention. My basic purpose is to try to find new ways of talking about freedom of religion or belief that might lead to a more inclusive, pluralistic and equal interpretation of that concept.The three theories wich I use are elaborated by Richard Amesbury (associate professor at Claremont school of Theology); Hugo Strandberg (TD at Åbo Akademi) and Eberhard Herrmann (professor in philosophy of religion at Uppsala University); and Martha Nussbaum (professor of law and ethics at the University of Chicago). The six cases from the European court are: X v.

Syftet med föreliggande arbete var att få en djupare förståelse för några invandrarkvinnors upplevelse av kriget i hemlandet och de konsekvenser detta förde med sig i det nya hemlandet med tanke på hälsa och sociala relationer. Sju kvinnor som härstammar från Balkanområdet i åldrarna 36-50 deltog i studien. Kvinnorna har bott i Sverige mellan 13 och 18 år. Data insamlades genom en semistrukturerad intervju med fem olika teman: krigsupplevelser, livet i Sverige, hälsa, socialt nätverk och KASAM. Resultatet visade att krigsupplevelserna har förändrat kvinnornas både fysiska och psykiska hälsa negativt.

Denna uppsats undersöker samtalet om de mikrolån som dykt upp som fenomen under de senaste åren. Kan dessa på ett bättre sätt bekämpa fattigdom än det traditionella biståndet? Detta utreds genom en litteraturstudie, där material används från statlig utredning, nyhetsmedia (tidningar) och organisationers egna publikationer. Uppsatsen visar att den generella meningen i de texter som undersöks är att mikrolån kan bekämpa fattigdom på ett annat sätt än vad traditionellt bistånd har kunnat. Traditionellt bistånd visar upp ett antal problem såsom risk för korruption, att det kan skapa passivitet och att det inte verkar bekämpa fattigdom på ett effektivt sätt.

Forskare och medier larmar om att allt fler m?nniskor drabbas av kunskapsresistens, vilket inneb?r att ha en ovilja att ta till sig etablerad kunskap. Detta ben?mns som ett hot mot det demokratiska samh?llet och det g?r att se hur fenomenet igenk?nns bland kontroversiella fr?gor. I ljuset av detta har jag gjort en kvalitativ intervjustudie f?r att ta reda p? hur unga m?n bekr?ftar sin kunskap med avseende p? tre omtvistade fr?gor som har en plats inom samh?llskunskapsundervisningen; klimatf?r?ndringarna, vaccin och migration.

With a religious psychological perspective this paper focuses on how religion is communicated during an investigation, and how religion might include in the decisions and the implementation of committed honor killings. This study pinpoints the question if it´s reasonable to unilaterally declare honor killings with culture, which is based on a distinction between culture and religion. The study is done on a court case where the offender confessed to a murder that is categorized as a so-called honorable motives. The material consists of interrogation reports during the investigation and several notes written by the offender before the murder. With a broad definition of religion the text material is analyzed with the theory of attribution.

Through the rulings RÅ 2010 ref. 11, HFD 2011 ref. 75 and HFD 2011 not 88 the Swedish Supreme Administrative Court have extended the concept of same or similar activities which can be found in section 57, clause 4 of the Swedish Income Tax Act. Through the ruling the Court has partly clarified the application area of the regulation but question marks still remains.In the statutory text there is no definition of what shall be regarded as same or similar activity and the preparatory work does not give any further direction on how the concept should be interpreted. Ever since the amendment in 1995 the general view has been that activities can be transferred between different companies without affecting the waiting period in the company of origin.

This thesis examines the everyday resistance, and its interaction with cultural hybridity, of the Saami population in the administrative unit of Torne lappmark during the period 1639?1732. To do this, the thesis uses theoretical concept of everday resistance as it has been described by JamesC. Scott and the theories of cultural hybridity as they have been described by Peter Burke. Primary source material used in this thesis consists of the court records from Torne lappmark, specifically from the courts at Jukkasjärvi and Enontekis.The results of this thesis present a picture of the everyday resistance in early modern Torne lappmark.

This study is focused on the caseworkers of the Swedish Migration board and their experiences of ethical dilemmas in their daily work with asylum seekers. Our research question is aimed at examining the ethical dilemmas that the caseworker as a social agent is experiencing in the meeting with the asylum seeker. The empirical material in this study is based on interviews with five caseworkers of the Swedish Migration board. The material has been collected through semi-structured interviews and has then been analyzed through professional ethics as a theoretical framework. The results of this study show that ethical dilemmas are constantly being present in the work of the caseworkers. Ethical dilemmas are in different ways occurring in the meeting with the asylum seeker. The law that regulates the caseworkers work is functioning as a limiting aspect, which leads to a feeling of contradiction between the caseworker?s personal ethics and the professional ethics..

In today?s Europe, migration has become a security issue rather than a humanitarian issue. Previous research highlights how migrants have become prisoners of bureaucracy in Europe by their mobility being hindered. The present study critically analyses the migration governance in Europe by highlighting labour market integration in Sweden. The study highlights migrants with a specific focus on foreign-born women. The research questions chosen to examine this phenomenon is: How does migration governance in Europe affect member states' policies for labour market integration, with a particular focus on Sweden? How do foreign-born women in Sweden experience labour market integration processes within the framework of the governance mechanisms that exist in Europe? Foucault?s theory of power and the theoretical concept of choking composes a theoretical framework which is used to analyse focus group data and text analysis data.

Migration är resultatet av en växande globaliserad ekonomi och ett utökataktivitetsmönster vilket ställer högre krav på individens rörlighet. Migration bidrarbåde med för- och nackdelar för samhällsutvecklingen i ett land, en region och på enplats. Ur ett kulturgeografiskt perspektiv studeras migration utifrån vilkaomständigheter och förutsättningar som ligger till grund för uppkomsten avflyttströmmar, så kallade push- och pullfaktorer. Push- och pullfaktorer kan kopplastill vad det är som gör en omlokalisering eller en plats attraktiv, vilket stärkerplatsattraktiviteten genom områdesfaktorer. Dessa områdesfaktorer påverkaruppfattningen om platsens kapacitet och de resurser som finns tillgängliga för attfrämja en fortsatt befolkningstillväxt samt hur platsen påverkas avbefolkningsförändringar som uppstår i och med migrationsprocesser.
