Hard Decisons, Soft Laws : Exploring the authority and the political impact of soft law in international law
The question of whether there is soft law in international law has been as much the subject of contemporary debate as whether or not there is private legal authority in the international society. The legal boundaries seem to be blurred by the process of globalisation and the recent shift in international law. The traditional definition of international law has been outdated as new forms of treaties has introduced new subject of law to the judicial arena. At the same time a supplementary map of law has been added to the cartography of international law, soft law. These correlating processes have comprehensive political and legal consequences at both the international and national levels.
Barns upplevelser av högläsning och boksamtal
What drove me to write this paper is the will to examine if there is a philosophically and scientifically viable alternative foundation for an objective morality other than what we like to refer to as "God". The American philosopher and neuroscientist Sam Harris presents in his book The Moral Landscape a thesis for an objective morality based on science in which he states that science can determine human values. The purpose of this paper is to perform a theoretical trial of The Moral Landscape, examining Harris' thesis and it's relations to the philosophical obstacles that stands in its way, these being mainly the famous philosophical principle "Hume's Law" and G.E. Moore's "Naturalistic Fallacy and Open Question Argument" and thus will serve as my main theoretical foundation. The results of my study was not conclusive since Harris in fact doesn't succeed in bridging the gap between facts and values on a scientific ground.

ORD, TID & PENGAR : En kvalitativ studie av hinder och motsättningar i arbetsprocessen med forskningskommersialisering i högskolenära inkubatorer.
Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka vilka hinder och motsättningar som rådgivare och forskare upplever i forskningskommersialiseringsprocessen inom högskolenära inkubatorer. Studien bör ses som en förstudie för att i ett senare skede kunna skapa en effektiv innovationsprocessmodell för högskolenära inkubatorer. Uppsatsens frågeställningar har undersökts ur ett innovationstekniskt perspektiv med hjälp av teorier om bland annat inkubatorer, innovationsprocesser och akademiskt entreprenörskap. Resultatet visar att det finns ett antal kulturkrockar som medför risk för att rådgivare och forskare talar förbi varandra. Andra hinder och motsättningar i forskningskommersialiseringsprocessen är skillnader i språkbruk, forskarens multipla roller, uppfattningar om arbetstempo samt att matchningen mellan entreprenör och forskare är svårorganiserad och tidskrävande..

Hur upplevs det att vara idrottslärare i Malmö?
Denna studie gjordes för att ta reda på hur verksamma idrottslärare i Malmö ser på sin arbetssituation. De frågeställningar jag använde mig av var: Hur upplevs rollen som idrottslärare verksam i Malmö stad? Vilka intentioner har idrottsläraren med sin undervisning? Om möjligheten till förändring fanns vad skulle detta utgöra? Upplevs de socioekonomiska förutsättningarna i stadsdelen påverka arbetet? Anledningen till att jag har valt att utforska detta ämne är de olika arbetsförhållanden som noterats vid de olika skolor jag haft min verksamhetsförlagda tid. För att få en bra inblick i detta ämne har fem stycken kvalitativa intervjuer gjorts med lärare verksamma i Malmö stadsdelsområden med olika ekonomiska förutsättningar. Uppsatsen behandlar sedan resultatet med hermeneutisk tolkning, Theorells psykologiska kravmodell samt utifrån litteratur av Engström, som skrivit kring livsstil kopplat till idrott och motion.
