This essay studies the christening rites in Church of Sweden and what theological motives that are present herein, and how the current revision of the rites have brought in new theological motives with the basis in the contemporary theological debate about the liturgy and theology surrounding the christening rites.The conclusion of the essay is that the revised christening rites have not included any new motives, but has rather restructured and re-emphasized the motives to adopt the christening rites to the findings of contemporary research regarding the christening..

För att det ska vara tillåtet att behandla personuppgifter ska behandlingen ha anknytning till visst ändamål. Den personuppgiftsansvarige; Skatteverket eller Kronofogdemyndigheten, ska se till att de personuppgifter som behandlas är adekvata och relevanta i förhållande till ändamålen med behandlingen, att personuppgifterna är riktiga och, om det är nödvändigt, aktuella och att alla tänkbara handlingar vidtas för att rätta, blockera eller utplåna sådana personuppgifter som är felaktiga eller ofullständiga med hänsyn till ändamålen med behandlingen. Detta framgår av 9 § PUL som följer föreskrifterna i EG-direktivet 95/46 artikel 6. Hur långt sträcker sig rättelseskyldigheten enligt Personuppgiftslagen (1998:204) (PUL) jämfört med den annullerade rättelseregleringen i gamla Datalagen (1973:289)? Följderna av denna otydlighet är att väldigt många restförda personer saknar möjligheten att få rättelse av missvisande registrerade uppgifter.

Uppsatsens syfte är att analysera hur rättsreglerna för förvaltningsjakt på varg utformats inom svensk och finsk rätt. Uppsatsen är av traditionell rättsvetenskaplig metod med fokus på den svenska lagstiftningen, och i något mindre utsträckning, den finska. Utredningen har utförts främst genom studier av lagstiftning, förarbeten, praxis och doktrin, därefter har de olika ländernas statliga utredningar och förvaltningsplaner studerats för en komparativ analys med syfte att synliggöra likheter och skillnader mellan lagstiftning. Resultatet visar att vargens närvaro blir till känslomässig fråga för de som vistas i skog och mark, tryggheten vi tidigare upplevts i skogen är inte längre en garanti. Sverige och Finland har i stor utsträckning liknande lagstiftning och problem inom vargfrågorna och väljer även till stor del att försöka lösa dessa på samma sätt..

The thesis explores the Uncovered Interest rate Parity (UIP) and the possibility of cross-currency arbitrage between England, Germany and Sweden. The data is gathered between May 1999 and December 2005 on a monthly basis and is compared using simple regression analysis. The aim is to find out whether UIP holds and, if it does not, a risk premium exists that makes it possible to make arbitrage gains on moving capital between England, Germany and Sweden. It is discovered that UIP does not hold and that cross-currency arbitrage possibilities exist. In the end a an attempt is made to practically show how the arbitrage possibility could be used for a real investor to make risk free gains from the Foreign Exchange market..

This essay is written in order to expose the construction of collective identity in textbooks for Swedish as a second language. To help visualize the process that shapes and categorize sub-jects based on a relational identity formation I assume mostly from Ernesto Laclau and Chan-tal Mouffe's discourse analysis theory frame. The paper called it as discourse theory. There are two textbooks in Swedish as a second language to be studied. Based on the textual materi-al found in the textbooks I perform a discourse analysis involving mainly focus on relational identity construction.

The Sweden Democrats uses a term to describe a situation where ?swedes? are being discriminated against by other ethnic groups and where the elite is promoting this. The term ?svenskfientlighet? can be translated as ?swedofobia? and in this thesis a speech by the party leader Jimmie Åkesson held during the election campaign that solely was dedicated to this term is being analyzed with the help of tools developed by the scholar Ruth Wodak. Ruth Wodak has previously analyzed the rhetoric by other European right-wing-populist parties like FPÖ in Austria and has asked for other researchers to analyze the speech used by right-wing-populist and extremist parties to get a better understanding for just how these parties construct their different enemies.

Syftet med studien var att få mer kunskap om vilka motiv människor har till att ständigt återkomma till Sweden Rock Festival och vilka upplevelser under festivalen som attraherar dem. Frågeställningarna var: Varför väljer man att återkomma år efter år till samma festival, och vilka upplevelser under festivalen är attraherande?Till grund för empirin, ligger en kvalitativ studie med intervjuer av sju ständigt återkommande besökare till Sweden Rock Festival. Analysen grundar sig på socialpsykologiska teorier om mänskliga möten av Goffman och psykologiska teorier om motiv. Dessa är bl a; Cromptons teorier om push och pull faktorer och Manells och Isa-Aholas escapeseeking modell.Resultatet visar att informanterna väljer att återkomma för att uppleva sådant de saknar i sina liv till vardags.

This study concerns ways in which Muslims in Sweden construct their identities. The theoretical approach of the study is based on the assumption that people construct their identities through narratives. Circumstances such as time, place, and relationships affect how narratives are told and therefore how we perceive ourselves and the world around us.In the wake of 11th of September 2001, the old colonial narrative of ?the West vs. the East? has become powerful, and makes many question the possibility of successfully integrating Muslims immigrants in Western countries.

The purpose of this study is to get an understanding about how municipalities in Sweden integrate climate-change into the social planning; especially the risk of flooding. To get a good picture of the planning process, background about the following are given; flooding, social planning and protective measures that can be taken against flooding. Three municipalities in the south of Sweden is studied; Halmstad, Vellinge and Kristianstad. They have in their work progressed differently and Kristianstad is the municipality that already has taken measures to protect themselves against flooding. The other two have only started to plan for the future threat.

Denna uppsats avser att jämföra kursplanerna i historia för grundskolan i Sverige respektive Finland, med syftet att synliggöra eventuella likheter och skillnader. Uppsatsens syftar även till att undersöka hur begreppet historiemedvetande yttrar sig i de bägge kursplanerna. Undersökningen har utförts genom att de bägge kursplanerna har kategoriserats utifrån Sven Sødring Jensens fyra historieundervisningsteorier. För att göra det möjligt att tolka hur ett historiemedvetande yttrar sig i kursplanerna, har två frågeställningar hämtats från Halvdan Eikelands analysredskap och sedan applicerats på de fyra historieundervisningsteorierna. Analysen av undersökningen visar att det finns tydliga skillnader mellan de bägge kursplanerna.

The purpose of this essay is to investigate modern influence in the painting Strömkarlen, by Ernst Josephson. Strömkarlen was painted 1884 in Norway. First the essay performed an investigation of earlier researchers statements to establish a ?common truth? that puts the painting in a realistic/naturalistic-romantic context. With the help of Yve-Alain Bois? model, where he sees art from the painters point of wiew, it was possible to use two articles, written by Ernst Josephson in the fall of 1884, where he debates the conditions for art and artists in Sweden.

The aim with my research is to illuminate the meaning of IKEAs settle in Haparanda, for the region Haparanda-Tornio, its economic growth and its inhabitants. The research has been carried out only through qualitative methods. Some interviews with a range of people from varying companies have been conducted.Haparanda is a smaller Swedish city situated in the north, on the border to Finland and to a city called Tornio. These two cities, Haparanda and Tornio, has realised they are stronger in pairs, so they initiated cooperation across the border. Haparanda-Tornio is not a region of historically welfare and well-being.

Regional European Offices with the purpose to represent regions and municipalities in the EU-system have had a substantial expansion over the last years. One example is the North Sweden European Office for the counties of Norrbotten and Västerbotten, consisting of seven different headmen who are representing both the private sector as well as the public system. This diverse leadership representation makes North Sweden a very good example on a so called Quango, organisations that stand under simultaneous influence from both public and private sectors. These Quangos opens up new possibilities to solve public problems, but they also bring together two different working models which is not always easy to handle for a Quango. According to earlier surveys some characteristic Quango problems within North Sweden exist, for example the ability to prioritize and thereby be as effective as possible.

This essay examines the historical development of group rights for cultural minorities in Sweden between the years 1970 and 2010. The purpose of the study is to analyze the development of political measures taken at government level for different minority groups, foremost explaining the division that have arisen between measures aimed at the five national minorities, the Sámi, the Swedish Finns, the Roma, the Jews and the Tornedalians, and measures directed at other ethnic groups.My conclusions are that the division in Swedish public policy between one the one hand national minorities, and on the other hand immigrant groups, is in no way self-evident. The division has arisen from an international standard on how democratic states, such as Sweden, should treat their cultural minorities. Further, this division has had an immense impact in shaping public policy as well as determining the type of group rights introduced for minority groups in Sweden.A difference has also been found in how the minorities are perceived by state actors. Immigrant groups are currently perceived as less entitled to group rights due to their short presence in Sweden, whereas national minorities are seen as more entitled to group rights due to their long historic presence in the country.

The Swedish wolf population is like continue to grow and this will eventually lead to an increase in the predation of livestock. In Sweden carnivore attacks happen most frequent on sheep farms and the majority of these attacks are performed by wolves. Because of this, the main focus in this study is on the sheep and wolf problematic. It is not only the direct killing of livestock that affects the animals and their owners in a negative way. It has also been shown that livestock that lives close to carnivores sometimes change their behaviour in a way that will affect their ability to reproduce and to forage efficiently.
