"Vi etniska svenskar tänker att det här är ett importerat problem": en kritisk granskning av RFSL Rådgivningen Skånes arbete med ungdomar som utsätts och riskerar att utsättas för hedersrelaterat våld på grund av sin sexuella läggning.
This study has dealt with a phenomena that is regarded as new in the Swedish context of social work called honour related violence because of sexual orientation. The purpose was to critically examine a project that offers a variation of assistance for individuals between 13 and 25 years of age who suffers from the above. The project mentioned is run by an organisation called RFSL Rådgivningen Skåne. The aim was to examine the practice and to gain knowledge concerning the target group and relate it to that described by the project. Another aim for the study was to look into how the employees and the author of a report that is commonly used as background material in the practice used the complicated terms involved in the field and how that may effect the individuals that are the target for the resources.
Kvantfysikens grunder i Gy2011 : En tolkning av kursplaner för fysik 1 och 2
AbstractThe beginning of the 20th century gave birth to quantum physics. Within years it revolutionized material science and converted the theoretical foundations of modern chemistry, and to some extent even biology, to physics? new branch, molecular physics. Merger of relativistic and quantum physics soon led to the development of quantum field theory and a deeper understanding of the elementary constituents of matter. Part of this development found its way into high school textbooks as early as in the 1950s.
Kvinnlig könsstympning eller omskärelse. En litteraturstudie om sjuksköterskors behov av kulturella kunskaper i mötet med omskurna eller könsstympade kvinnor.
Sweden, being a multicultural society, has an increased need for transcultural care.

To underline the emic (insider) perspective, pure literature and fiction have been used.

Intellectual Property Rights : A Barricade to Technological Development. An Ethical Analysis on the Less Developed Countries
Debate over Intellectual Property Rights ?IPRs? particularly patent and copyrights is mainly on forward-looking industries in computer software. As part of a trade deal reached in 1994, the member nations of the World Trade Organisation must adhere to a global agreement known as TRIPS, for the Trade- Related Aspect of Intellectual Property Rights.This study is to analyse the ethical conception of Intellectual Property Rights and in particular its implications on the developing countries in relation to TRIPS. The approach will be to analyse a broad philosophical theories of property to see if there is any justification for a software program to be treated as private property and also argue base on John Rawls two principles of justice in relation to TRIPS Agreement. Some reflections will be put on the use of open-source software by less developing countries.From the study it was asserted that, strong IPRs protection would hinder technological transfer and indigenous learning activities in the early stage of industrialisation when learning takes place through reverse engineering.
Språket vår Järnbörd : Språket spelar roll
In this paper I make an analysis of the play Järnbörd (By burning Iron) written by the swedish author Magnus Dahlström. In this play all the characters has committed horrible crimes wich they easily describes the violence. The starting-point of my analysis is the text itself and not any stage-setting. The reason for this is that I find it interesting to see what can be found in the text only. I investigate if the language itself can tell something.Furthermore I discuss Magnus Dahlström´s literary language and if he has any distinguishing quality, and if so what it may be.
Överskridanden : En tematisk studie av verklighetsproblematiken i Karl Ove Knausgårds Min kamp 1-6
The award-winning Norwegian novelist Karl Ove Knausgård achieved great success with his latest book, Min kamp. Both commercially and critically, the novel was praised for its seemingly successful attempt to transcend the boundary between fiction and real life. Focusing on the auto-fictional narrator?s struggle to balance his daily life with his ever so demanding aesthetic ambitions, the novel gives high-detail descriptions of the most basic day-to-day chores, intimately mixed with philosophical reflections on topics such as painting, literature and postmodern civilisation.This essay proposes an alternative perspective on the realism of the novel. Instead of relying on a correspondence theoretical view, which highlights the level of correspondence of a particular representation with reality, I seek, inspired by Martin Heidegger?s thoughts on works of art, to trace a poetics which sees the verity in a work of art as the ?unconcealment? of the world, or the coming-to-being of objects.
Samma skyldigheter - men inte samma rättigheter : Funktionshindrades uppfattning om och definition av medborgarskap; en komparativ studie Sverige-Storbritannien
The concept of citizenship was created in Greece about 600 BC, and has for most of the time been treated as a philosophical concept, or as a concept of political science. In spite of the fact that sociologists have taken an interest in the concept in the second half of the 20th century there is hardly any empirical research to substantiate how the common man perceives and defines the concept. Disabled people to a great extent perceive themselves as belonging to a forgotten sector of society in that they experience administrative barriers, shortcomings in the way individuals and institutions behave towards them, institutional discrimination, being socially dead, etc. ?The aim of this study has been to explore how citizenship is perceived and defined by disabled people in Great Britain and Sweden, focusing on the perception of rights and obligations, and how these rights and obligations have been made available to them by society.?The study was carried out as a qualitative study.
Styrningens vindlingar: substitutionsbehandlingens premisser
For over 40 years, there's been a debate in Sweden of whether it's good or bad with maintenance therapy for heroin addicts. This method is far more acknowledged in other parts of Europe and in USA. The aim of this paper was to explore how public actors manifest their thoughts concerning the subject of the substitution program in Sweden. This approach includes the complex of problems that can be found in statements and the discourses that these operators stand for and support. In my analysis the philosophical thread was principally based on Michael Foucault ideas, but also on other theories related to social constructionism.
Kvantfysiken och den nya myten? : En studie av Fritjof Capras och Danah Zohars böcker om kvantandlighet
This study is about quantum physics and the role it can play in a religious perspective. I intend to examine how moderna physics may be related and understood as New age and Myths. My material consists of two books in the new age genre: "The Tao of Physics" by Fritjof Capra and "The Quantum Self" by Danah Zohar. My first two question to these books are which 1) religious and 2) scientific content they have. My other questions are too 3) investigate and demonstrate how these books are new age and 4) to exanine how the books can function as myths and adopt mythical features.
?I så fall skulle det stå: ? ?prata med mig!!!!?? : En studie om förlossningsbrevets betydelse för nyblivna föräldrar
Denna studie syftar till att undersöka nyblivna föräldrars upplevelser rörande användandet av förlossningsbrev. Föräldrar intervjuade till denna studie valde att skriva eller inte skriva ett förlossningsbrev. Blivande föräldrar som valde att inte skriva ett förlossningsbrev gjorde detta på grund av att de ansåg att brevet skulle styra in dem i en specifik riktning, samt att det inte hjälper att försöka kontrollera något som är utom deras kontroll. Föräldrar som valde att skriva ett förlossningsbrev gjorde detta eftersom de hade specifika önskemål som frångick den norm som styr förlossningen. Även kvinnor som utryckt någon form av förlossningsrädsla valde att skriva ett förlossningsbrev.Under studiens gång har fokus även riktats mot att undersöka andra förberedelser inför förlossningen.
ATT TOLKA OCH FÖRSTÅ ETT ?JA? En jämförande studie av säkerhetskulturen i två olika nationella kulturer
Inom flygbranschen arbetar man kontinuerligt med säkerhet och förbättringar för att öka säkerheten ombord på flygplanen. Tidigare såg man oftast till ett enskilt misstag som ensamt fick vara enda förklaring till att en olycka inträffade På senare år har man börjat se till helheten och försöka finna de faktorer i organisationerna som kan vara bakomliggande orsaker till att dessa misstag begås. Många studier har gjorts och man har insett vikten av attha en fungerande säkerhetskultur inom flygbolagen för att hindra att olyckor och incidenter inträffar. Syftet med detta arbete har varit att undersöka hur den nationella kulturen påverkarflygbolagens kulturer och de inom flygbolagen rådande säkerhetskulturerna. En undersökninghar gjorts där svenska piloter verksamma i asiatiska flygbolag svarat på en enkät bestående av97 frågor.
Synen på "den andre" i ett segregerat område i Kalmar : en studie gjord ur två utlandsfödda mäns perspektiv
Edward Said's book Orientalism (1978) is the most important reference point in the post-colonial theory and describes how the West is dominant over the Orient. There is a clear distinction between "us" and "the other" and the purpose of this study is that, from a postcolonial perspective, focusing on Said's theoretical concepts "the other" and "discourse", examining how two foreign-born people with ethnic backgrounds living in the same place, are looking at themselves, at other foreign-born and native Swedes. My questions to answer this are; ?what are the concepts of "the other" and "discourse" and is it possible to use these concepts to examine how foreign-born people are looking at themselves, at other foreign-born and native Swedes in a specific location??, ?who is "the other" in a place where there are almost as many native Swedes as foreign-born??, and ?how do these two foreign-born people with ethnic backgrounds perceive Norrliden as a place and what effect has that place had on their identity?? I have used a post-colonial philosophical ground and a qualitative approach, focusing on two different interviews with two men, living in Norrliden. In Norrliden almost 50% of the inhabitants are foreign-born were both of the interview-persons are feeling safe and secure.

Fr. Alexander Schmemann och Kyrkan som mysterion
What is the Church? This question has been asked in many times and places. In Sweden, it seems asif there's a general identity crisis among the churches. It seems like many churches don't know whythey exist, or at least they have a very vague understanding of the full meaning of the Church.Some 50 years ago, we had a new encounter in Sweden. Immigrants from Orthodoxcountries came to live here, and they brought their church and tradition with them.
