This essay constitutes an attempt to expose, with reference to contemporary animal research, the limits of Martin Heidegger?s concept of the being of animality in Die Grundbegriffe der Metaphysik (1929/30) and to propose some possible ways to think, within the philosophical style of this particular work, the being of those animals that most distinctly transcends Heidegger?s concept. The essay seeks to address the following question: Do the results of contemporary animal research expose ways of being within animality that withdrawal from Heidegger?s concept of the being of animality in general, and if so, how should we think these new ways of animal being? The motivation to ask this question, I argue, are immanent to Heidegger?s thinking in at least three ways: 1) Because of his standpoint that philosophy cannot, in any meaningful way, create an ontological concept of animality without an orientation towards the results of the positive sciences; 2) Because of the unfinished and tentative character of Heidegger?s analysis, a character that is such that it should be seen, according to Heidegger himself, as an essential point of departure for further thinking; 3) Because of Heidegger?s view that the being of the animal are such that it involves the withdrawal of this very being from any originary access, a withdrawal that necessitates an infinite return to the question concerning the being of the animal. The essay wants to be a continuation of lines that are present in Heidegger?s open-ended thought on this theme rather than to be an external critique that approach the text, which is most often the case, as a closed point of view which we are forced to affirm or reject.

Studiens syfte är att utföra en analys på de argument som förs på Facebook angående den eventuella gruvetableringen i Jokkmokks kommun och se om dessa kan relateras till olika perspektiv på social förändring i ett lokalsamhälle. Den valda metoden för studien är en kvalitativ textanalys och dess empiriska del baseras på debattinlägg hämtat från olika grupper på Facebook. Jokkmokk är till ytan den näst största kommunen i Sverige och hälften av dess yta utgörs av ett vidsträckt fjällområde. Kommunen har under de senaste 50 åren minskat sin befolkning med 50 procent och idag är invånarantalet 5119. De tre största arbetsgivarna idag är Jokkmokks kommun, Vattenfall och Norrbottens läns landsting.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att analysera huruvida, och i så fall på vilket sätt, EU-domstolens avgörande Eurofood och därpå följande nationell domstolspraxis har minskat utrymmet för insolventa bolag att utföra forum shopping genom artikel 3.1 IF i jämförelse med rättsläget innan Eurofood. Uppsatsens slutsats är att EU-domstolens uttalanden i Eurofood i viss mån har försvårat genomförandet av forum shopping. Innan Eurofood var det en utbredd praxis (fallen Enron Directo SL, Daisytek-ISA Ltd m.fl.) att bryta sätespresumtionen med hänvisning, såsom primärt och avgörande skäl, till att det insolventa bolagets huvudkontorsuppgifter utförs i den medlemsstat där den aktuella domstolen är belägen, trots att bolagets (hela) verksamhet utförs i en annan stat där bolaget även har sitt säte. I Eurofood uttalade EU-domstolen att sätespresumtionen enbart kan brytas med hänvisning till objektiva och fastställbara omständigheter för tredje man. Därvid uttalades att när ett bolag bedriver verksamhet i den medlemsstat där det registrerade sätet är beläget, är den omständigheten att dess ekonomiska val kontrolleras eller kan kontrolleras av ett moderbolag i en annan medlemsstat inte i sig tillräckligt för att kullkasta presumtionen.

Att marknadsföra sig rätt har idag blivit A och O för företag. För att överleva är det av högsta vikt att finna nya forum att placera sin reklam i. Idag finns det dock så mycket reklam som cirkulerar i samhället att företagen måste konkurrera om konsumenternas uppmärksamhet. Det gäller alltså att sticka ut och finna nya marknadsföringskanaler hela tiden. Internet och bloggar har haft en enorm genomslagskraft och i Sverige är det de temabaserade modebloggarna som står i centrum. Då bloggarna blivit så stora som de är och då bloggerskorna uppfattas som förebilder diskuteras det en hel del kring vad son skrivs i bloggarna.

My interest in the problem I have chosen has grown from my practise as a music teacher in Swedish compulsory schools. It springs from my own reflection, that the content pupils meet during music lessons in year 4-6 of compulsory school, seems to vary. My ontological and epistemological standpoints belong to a life-world-phenomenological way of thinkink. This kind of thinking implies that human beings are indissolubly connected to the world, which means that the only way to access the world is trough human beings lived experience. The aim of this study is to describe and analyse how music teachers, who work in years 4-6 of compulsory school, talk about the subject music and its content in relation to the new curriculum, Lgr11.

To value the risk and opportunity for our production in Sweden it is necessary to understand the marketing development for beef cattle production in the world. We have chosen to look at the Brazil beef cattle production. They are one of the biggest producers, have good opportunity to develop further and have a big affect at the world market. The method of our work is to gather information from experts of beef cattle production, located in Brazil. We have also gathered information through studies of literature. The factors that will have a big influence at the Brazil beef cattle production during the upcoming years is more efficient land use, lower age of slaughtering and extended use of feedlot-system. Our conclusion is that the Brazil beef cattle will have a sharp increase during the next five years. The amount of pasture will not change during that time.

The purpose of this study is to highlight the opportunities of using social media as a communicative tool to attract and engage customers on different social media platforms. In recent years social media has become an important way for business to communicate with people both national and global. The idea behind this thesis was found when we saw different approaches of how companies used social media as a marketing tool. Through a qualitative approach we did eight interviews with six different companies and two social media consults which have given us a basis of what companies really want to achieve with social media. With these interviews we were able to analyze and discuss the abilities to interact with people and how companies distribute content that engage users and increase their credibility to the company..

This essay focuses on two social workers talking about their working field in the prostitution area in a Swedish city. The study aims to investigate how the social workers talk about their field and clients that are in it through the use of narrative analysis. Furthermore we discuss the complications with qualitative interviews, narrative analysis from a feminist theoretical and methodological point of view. The study is based on an interview with the two social workers. The result reveals only tendencies rather than a general "truth".

The first vampire film I ever saw was Interview with a vampire. ?I haven?t been human for two hundred years?, opened up not only the film, but a whole new world I knew nothing about. The world, as it were, opened its doors to me again after I had seen the film adaption of Stephenie Meyers Twilight. I decided to write down a few thoughts, capture my frame of mind, and these paragraphs then turned into a text: ?I tankarnas skal?.              When I did research for this essay I discovered that my text held certain similarities with the modern vampire novel.

The aim of this thesis is to interpret and discuss the weapon-graves of Viking Age Birka. The weapon-grave phenomenon is deemed differential in relation to the rest of the grave-material of the site, and thus the questions that motivate the thesis is: who was buried with weapons and why? Further questions arise regarding the social aspects of individuals who were buriedalong with weapons. The theoretical approach will be to evaluate any differences in 'social class', 'social age' and 'gender' between the weapon-grave contexts. By conducting qualitativeand quantified analysis of the grave-goods, this thesis adresses both overall and detailed patterns in correlation and constellations between weapons, other grave-goods and terms of burial..

Foreign aid is a very debated and controversial topic. The most recent studies have focused more on GDP growth and foreign aid correlation, however not much of the debate has focused on what kind of foreign aid should be given. The most common foreign aid is budget support, often a bilateral funds transfer between two countries. This kind of foreign aid can be both conditional and unconditional from the donors? perspective.
