INGEN LAG ? STRAFF? ABSTRACTThe thesis deals with a gap in the Swedish legislation concerning the criminal responsibility under which military personnel act in international peace operations. According to international treaties called Status of Forces Agreements, military personnel operating abroad within the territory of other states are exempted from the criminal law of the host states. In return, their home states apply its national criminal law upon the personnel instead. Thus, Swedish criminal law is applied in relation to actions taken by Swedish military forces in international operations.

Bakgrund: V?ld i n?ra relationer ?r ett stort folkh?lsoproblem d?r v?rden, s?rskilt sjuksk?terskor har en central roll i att st?dja patientgruppen. Konsekvenserna drabbar inte bara samh?llet utan ?ven den enskilda individen. Syfte: Att beskriva sjuksk?terskors erfarenheter av att bem?ta patienter som utsatts f?r v?ld i n?ra relationer.

Bakgrund: Va?ld mot kvinnor i na?ra relation a?r ett globalt ha?lsoproblem. Ett svenskt universi- tetssjukhus har tagit fram en handlingsplan fo?r omha?ndertagande av va?ldsutsatta kvinnor och det finns evidens fo?r att avdelningschefer spelar en stor roll fo?r implementeringen av hand- lingsplaner.Syfte: Syftet med fo?religgande studie a?r att underso?ka avdelningschefers erfarenheter av att implementera en handlingsplan om va?ldsutsatthet; ?Va?ldsutsatta kvinnor - en handlingsplan fo?r omha?ndertagande?, samt att underso?ka vilka hinder och underla?ttande faktorer som ligger bakom implementeringen.Metod: Studien genomfo?rdes med en kvalitativ metod i form av semistrukturerade intervjuer. Sju avdelningschefer fra?n sju olika avdelningar inom fem divisioner intervjuades vid ett svenskt universitetssjukhus som har en handlingsplan fo?r omha?ndertagande av va?ldsutsatta kvinnor.

SAMMANFATTNING: Bakgrund: Det ökade våldet i samhället leder till att en patientkategori blir allt vanligare på våra intensivvårdsavdelningar; våldsbrottsoffer. Det föreligger en brist på studier som beskriver hur intensivvårdssjuksköterskor hanterar dessa situationer för att ge sina patienter bästa möjliga vård. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att beskriva intensivvårdssjuksköterskors uppfattningar av inre och yttre resurser i vården av våldsbrottsoffer. Metod: Studien designades som en kvalitativ studie med explorativ och induktiv ansats där semistrukturerade djupintervjuer genererar deskriptiv data som analyseras med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Metoden testades i en pilotstudie med fyra informanter och resultatet presenteras i denna uppsats.

In this essay my aim is to examine how the term utanförskap is constructed and defined as a social problem in the public arena of the Swedish Parliament. The term utanförskap was widely used in the election-campaign prior to the Swedish Parliament election in the year 2006. The term, mainly articulated by the Right-wing Alliance, was used to describe indi-viduals and groups that were depicted as being outside the Swedish society. In the political debate, work and benefit dependency were constructed as binary opposites, with the latter describing the individuals in utanförskap. Translated to English the term utanförskap would be something like ?the state of being outside? or ?outsidership?.

The focus of our dissertation is masculinity which is often a topic of debate in today?s society concerning areas such as violence, sport and paternal leave. Male studies are a relatively new field which means there is a lot remaining to be explored. We have chosen to explore how social class reflects on male identity. The reason we have chosen social class as a variable is due to a focus in the general debate of identity amongst the social sciences towards identities formed through consumption in the world of global mass-media.

Syftet med denna systematiska litteraturstudie var att beskriva faktorer som påverkade uppkomsten av hot och våld inom psykiatrin. Till resultatet har författarna använt sig av tjugoen vetenskapliga artiklar som hämtats ur Högskolan dalarnas databaser ELIN, Academic Search Elite samt Cinahl. Sökord i olika kombinationer har använts för att få fram relevant litteratur till studien. De sökord som användes var violence, nursing, mental health nurses, aggressive patients, aggressive behaviour, psychiatric units, patients, factors, prevention, aggression, nurses, psychiatric, management, psychiatry och causes. Även manuell sökning i tidskrifter har gjorts.

Bakgrund: Våld mot kvinnor i nära relationer är ett stort folkhälsoproblem. Vårdpersonal har en unik och viktig roll i kontakten med våldsutsatta kvinnor. Dessa kvinnor söker hjälp inom många olika delar av vården och är därmed en del av vårdpersonalens dagliga arbete. Syfte: Att belysa varför våldsutsatta kvinnor upplever bemötandet i hälso- och sjukvården bristfälligt och därigenom identifiera hur bemötandet kan förbättras. Metod: En litteraturstudie baserad på tio kvalitativa artiklar utifrån vilka tre teman identifierades: Att skapa en trygg miljö, Kommunikation samt Kompetens.

The aim of this thesis has been to discuss whether remainders of colonial influences exist within the UN's definition of torture or not. The discussion has been presented from a postcolonial point of view, in dialogue with contemporary power critical theorists. In order to raise awareness of a potential colonial influence, the following questions were intended to be answered:?                                        Are there any reasons, if so ? which ones, to regard the UN's definition of torture as a colonial project? And;?                                        To what extent is the term ?inhumane? limiting for the prohibition against torture from a postcolonial perspective?One of the most central arguments of the chosen theories is that the term ?inhumane? evokes prejudices that a racializing apparatus within the social norms of the UN automatically produces. These prejudices are, according to the theorists, influenced by images of people in non-western and non-secular (especially muslim) societies as more prone to exercise ?violence? and ?cruelty? towards their own citizens as well as towards the population of the world in general.

What are the basic thoughts formulated in the Heraclitean fragments? A cosmology, a philosophy of nature, the idea that all can be reduced to a single substance? There is always a risk that Heraclitus is fitted into a thought pattern he doesn?t belong to, if we ? from our present horizon ? focus on continuity in an attempt to frame his thinking as part of an overall progress, running from the so-called pre-Socratics to Aristotle, in the history of philosophy. If we picture the dawn of Western civilization as an early development of scientific thinking, built on a gradual and continuous growth of knowledge, we will easily go astray as we try to discover the Greek origins of philosophy. Assuming, for example, that the readings of Heraclitus as a natural philosopher have come to a dead end, can we approach the fragments from a different angle?The aim of this paper is not to give a systematized reading of all the remaining fragments of Heraclitus, but neither to necessarily contradict the various interpretations that emphasise how these shattered remains reflect a coherent philosophy.

BakgrundÖvervikt och fetma är ett hälsoproblem, både globalt och i Sverige. Genetik, livsstilsfaktoreroch beroendeproblematik är bakomliggande orsaker till övervikt och fetma. Olika behandlingsmetoder används vid övervikt och fetma, varav gastric bypass är en metod. En gastric bypass kräver livsstils- och beteendeförändringar i samband med operationen. Hälso och sjukvården har ett ansvar att ge informativt och rådgivande stöd i samband med livsstilsförändringar.SyfteSyftet var att beskriva personers upplevda behov av stöd från hälso- och sjukvården i samband med en gastric bypassoperation.MetodEn kvalitativ intervjustudie användes med utgångspunkt i gastric bypassopererade personers erfarenheter.

Män som utsatts för sexuellt våld är ett ämne som erhåller lite uppmärksamhet både inom forskning och i vardagligt tal. Att analysera skriven medias framställning av sexuellt våldsutsatta män har så vitt jag vet inte utförts i en svensk vetenskaplig kontext innan, vilket gör denna studie unik i sitt slag. Studiens primära syfte var att undersöka hur män som utsatts för sexuellt våld framställs i skriven media. Jag ville se huruvida media bekräftar eller förkastar de sociala myterna kring ämnet. Vidare så var målet med studien att ytterligare belysa ämnet för att lyfta upp det för diskussionen och fördjupa förståelsen och kunskapen för ämnet.

This paper examines how the ideal of manhood is portrayed and constructed and how the participation of Swedish soldier volunteers are motivated and legitimatized. The purpose of this examination is to gain understanding and knowledge about the Swedish soldiers in the Swedish brigade, how they legitimatize and motivate their participation and how the ideal of manhood is portrayed and constructed. The study is based on material from the war archive in Stockholm. The empirical material is composed by letters and propaganda material. In the analysis of the empirical study, there have been two theories used which are Eric Hobsbawms historical method and theory about invented traditions and Peter Aronssons historical method and theory about ?historiebruk? and legitimacy.

The ambition of this paper is to study the construction of the categorization between ?us? and ?them? in a religious minority, represented by Jehovah?s Witnesses and a nationalist political party, represented by the Swedish Democrats. This will be done by a discursive psychology analysis of their official publications on each group?s website. By a deductive study using Henri Tajfel?s Social Identity Theory trying to disclose the psychological processes; social categorization, social identity, social comparison and psychological distinctiveness.
