A tragic event in 2012 sparked a debate about the need for a law of civil courage when it became clearthat passivity in situations where people ?s lives are put in danger is not punishable. In this essay based on qualitative interviews with jurists and students of law the issue of civil courage is analyzed with the help of sociological theory. My objective has been to try and find out if a law of civil courage can be motivated with the argument that it would strengthen the public moral. My conclusion is that a law of moral courage is not a suitable way of making people more willing to help others or to strengthen the civil courage or the public moral.

AbstractThis paper is based on a research conducted in a medium sized company, situated in Sweden, with the intent to study possible connections regarding views of gender and the existing sex segregation within the company. How is gender constructed, and does it exist representational ideas of the sexes, that leads to restrictions for men and women to be working within different areas of the company? Why are there such few women working within the company? Through five interviews with employees within the company, three women and two men, I found answers to these questions. My thesis and the specific questions were categorized into three different themes. The first theme aims to understand the interviewees? discussions of gender and labour.

We live in a time where the influence of citizens is taking a larger role in the spatial planning. The Swedish laws, such as PBL, deals with matters of citizen participation which advocates that the youth should be included in the consultation circuit, but there is no directive given.  The report's purpose is to demonstrate methods for how to get the young people's influence included in the spatial planning, with a main focus on the ages between 13 and 21. On the base of literature and two case studies, the goal is to illustrate how to integrate young people through a meeting place in Jonkoping, Sweden. The report is structured along with an analysis based on the literature, two case studies from previous projects and discussions/interviews with young people from four selected areas in Jonkoping.  The case studies from Malmo and Gothenburg show how the cooperation between different participants can be organized during the planning and how to give the users a greater involvement. Based on literature and case studies, we carried out a field analysis of the four most segregated areas of Jonkoping; Osterangen, Oxnehaga, Ekhagen and Raslatt.

The main purpose of this thesis has been to find a way to evaluate the soil parameters for the Total sounding method (TS), such as the inner friction angles and settlement modules. This study only includes an analysis of soil profiles from the Stockholm region. The chosen location for the study is a proposed residential area east of Igelstaviken in SödertÀlje. Presently, the subject plot is located in a residential area and is also adjacent to a school area.Total sounding is originally a Norwegian soil testing method. The differences between the sounding methods (weight-, ram-, CPT-sounding) are for instance how the sound is driven into the ground and what kind of parameters that are registered.

A major issue that has been a subject for quite some time is whether there will be a scarcity of metals in the bedrock in the future and whether or not we might end up with a problem similar to that of the big oil crisis in the mid-seventies. Following the oil crisis many oil companies started up with risk management to control future risks. This work presents how Swedish mining companies work with risk management to handle risks that might come up in the future due to metal scarceness. How Swedish mining companies look at the possible metal scarceness and if they use risk management in their decision-making process is studied. By doing interviews with Swedish owned mining companies it was found that the mining companies did not see the future metal scarcity as a risk, even though 2/3 of the companies acknowledged the scarceness to be a reality.

AbstractTitle: Is it easy to make the right decision? An essay about how the profiled senior level schools communicate with their future pupils and their parents. (LÀtt att göra rÀtt val? En uppsats om den profilerade högstadieskolans kommunikation med blivande elever och deras förÀldrar.)Author: Erika CassmanAim: My hypothesis is that parental influence is higher when the students are going to a detached school than when the students are going to a school with a profiled program because in the profiled program they are going to study a course that they love and is chosen by themselves. The aim of this essay is therefore to find out if this thesis is right or wrong.

Den hÀr uppsatsen handlar om religiösa friskolor i Sverige och den ska genomföras enligt en viss teori och modeller skrivna av Maria Klasson Sundin, teologisk kandidat och doktorand i religionsfilosofi vid Uppsala universitet. Uppsatsens syfte var att förbereda och framstÀlla en plan för en djupare studie av religiösa friskolor. I uppsatsen anvÀndes flera filosofiska perspektiv pÄ religionsfrihet, mÄngkulturalism och religion som ideologiskt styrmedel. Regeringsmakten och Skolverkets skrifter samt debattartiklar analyserades enligt Sundins modeller. Slutligen fördes en diskussion om en lÀmplig metod för att genomföra huvudstudien, detta för att fÄ fram Àmnets komplexa karaktÀr..

Outside of many Swedish households today, you will find a typical green wastecontainer. This container has not changed since its introduction, despitecomplaints about foul-smelling and its impractical system. Even if the system usedtoday, still is the most optimal choice, there is a lot of newly developedalternatives out there.Its purpose is to get a broader perspective on how a waste management systemcan be developed into a working, land efficiently and aesthetically pleasing systemof humans and the environment in a small residential area.The authors treat the residential area of JÀra, Ekhagen, in Jönköping, which ismanaged by JM AB as a problem area in regards to waste management.The issues raised by the authors are the different waste management systems usedin the corresponding areas of the world, how to apply technical andenvironmental as well as the waste management facilities from financial aspects.In the process, the methods used were literature reviews, case studies and aninterview. The case study was done through a modeling of waste managementsystems in the area JÀra and an interview was conducted with the company Envacworking with vacuum systems. Studies have been made by different systems n theareas around the world.The results show that using directives and guidance will reduce the environmentalimpact done without replacing the traditional system.

This essay discusses children?s rights and control and system of rules in HVB-homes that provide treatment for adolescences with drug abuse prob­lems or criminal behavior. The results of this study are based on interviews with four persons working in managerial positions on different HVB-homes and shows the difficulties of having a children?s rights perspective in a con­text where a higher level of control is necessary to protect the best interest of the child. The study suggests that the question of balance between children?s right and the need for controlling system of rules needs to be fur­ther dis­cussed to improve, and as far as possible guarantee that these adoles­cence receive best possible care and do not suffer unfair restrictions on liber­ties..

I det nutida samhÀllet med allt snabbare förÀndringsprocesser blir invandrarnas integration svÄrare att uppnÄ och identitetsfrÄgorna svÄrare att lösa.

Den globala medelhavsniv?n stiger och ?r ett o?terkalleligt fenomen som kommer forts?tta att stiga flera tusen ?r fram?ver. Studien syftar till att f?rst? hur kustkommunerna, Malm? och Trelleborg, resonerar kring strategier och anpassnings?tg?rder f?r att hantera utmaningar med havsniv?h?jningar, s?v?l som med r?dande styrning och ansvarsf?rdelningen. Studien unders?ker ?ven kommunernas syn p? havet och valet av tidsperspektiv i planeringen.? Resultatet fr?n studien visar p? ett behov av ett l?ngre tidsperspektiv, bortom 100 ?r f?r att m?ta utmaningarna med havsniv?h?jningar.

Industrialiseringen av Sverige började under 1800-talet ta form och behovet av naturresurser ökade i och med det vilket ledde till att blickarna var tvungna att riktas mot nya horisonter. Att det blev just Kiruna som blev intressant var det faktum att dÀr i det omrÄdet fanns det naturresurser i form av malm, en fyndighet som skulle skÀnka dem möjligheter att fortsÀtta sin industrialisering med goda förutsÀttningar och med arbetsmöjligheter som resultat. 1890 fanns dÀr bara fjÀll, orörda vidder och samer med deras visten, 1904 hade redan ett samhÀlle etablerats och invÄnarantalet kommit upp i siffror kring 4000 personer, vandringen frÄn ödemark till vÀlorganiserat samhÀlle hade inletts. I och med industrialiseringens framfart utvecklades Àven skolvÀsendet, först nationellt och sedan som en följdeffekt av samhÀllet Kirunas grundande Àven dÀr. 1842 hade en folkskolestadga upprÀttats som bidrog till att alla dÀrmed skulle gÄ i skolan för att fÄ en allmÀn folkskolundervisning och det var nÄgot som direkt ansÄgs vara av vikt att följa i Kiruna.
