Lagstiftningen på diskrimineringsområdet har utvecklats mycket sedan mitten av 1900-talet. Idag finns såväl internationella konventioner som regionala och nationella bestämmelser vars syfte är att motverka diskriminering inom olika samhällsområden. Den svenska nationella rätten har i stor utsträckning påverkats av EU-rätten och dess utformning. I Sverige finns idag ett skydd mot diskriminering på Legislation in the field of discrimination has developed a lot over the past decades. Today, there are international and regional conventions as well as national legislation aimed at combating discrimination in various fields of the society. EU law and its design have largely influenced Swedish law. In Sweden today, the grounds on which discrimination is forbidden are sex, gender identity or expre

The criticism towards agricultural use of sewage sludge tends to occur in ten year cycles; the debate has begun once more. The aim of this study is to evaluate current policy for agricultural use of sewage sludge, by investigating how pollutants within the sludge are affected. Two types of substances; a heavy metal (cadmium) and an organic substance(nonylphenol), are used to illustrate possible st

Surveillance cameras are vital in the nuclear power industry where the reactor equipment must constantly be kept under surveillance to maintain safety. Constant monitoring is however difficult due to the highly radioactive environment, which cause cameras to malfunction and eventually break. Malfunction typically manifests itself as quality degradation of the image from the cameras. Initially, tem

The purpose for which the study was conducted was to investigate firm-specific advantages of standardization, and how standardization routines optimized and changing as intra organizational learning. The study was conducted as a qualitative case study where the pattern matching method is used to compare and analyse the collected data against a pre-constructed theoretical framework. The theoretica

Sverige ställer idag allt hårdare krav på utsläpp av växthusgaser, vilket kräver en stor omställning av vår fordonsflotta. För att nå framtida mål såsom en fossiloberoende fordonsflotta till 2030 krävs att fossila drivmedel med höga koldioxidutsläpp fasas ut mot bränslen med lägre utsläpp av växthusgaser. Idag står de fossila drivmedlen för den största delen av energiförsörjningen till transportseThis study examines the cost efficiency of reducing carbon emissions for personal vehicles by changing from petrol to either liquid bio fuels or electric operation. Based on own simulations of fuel consumption, life cycle-emissions and -production costs are derived based on existing knowledge through previous studies. The results are finally presented as ’SEK per reduced ton of CO2’; a unit that e

Problem area Alfa Laval is a world leading company in the heat transfers area and have the vision to continue to be that in the future as well. The company has a lot of press lines where the utilization is high and also has started to become old. Prognosis shows that there is an increased demand of heat exchanger in the future. This increased demand is not something that existing lines will manag

Title: Access to cultural education in a multi-ethnical context. The right to dance and play an instrument, to paint and work with film is taken for granted by many children in Malmoe today. The agenda explicitely phrases the intent of the publicly financed schools of art for children to reflect the multi-ethnic demographics of the city. Public community music schools of today, incorporate classe

Problem discussion: Syncron experience a challenge in realizing the full market potential of its newly developed IT-based price management system, Global Price Management (GPM). The system has already been implemented and is currently running with success within the IT-structures of the first customer. The fact that the development of the system has been initiated by a customer, and thereby has le

In 2010 there will be a political resolution to ensure that the Swedish society is accessible to all citizens including people with disabilities. For this purpose a national action plan for disability policy "From patient to citizen" (Govt. Bill 1999/2000:79) has been set out with the aim of ensuring that the disability perspective will permeate every sector of society and that the appro

Denna framställning behandlar ämnet surrogatmoderskap. Surrogatmoderskap innebär att en kvinna genomgår en graviditet för ett barnlöst pars räkning, vilka benämns ”det beställande paret”. När barnet föds överlämnas det till det beställande paret som således blir barnets sociala föräldrar. Genetisk sett kan barnet vara helt och hållet det beställande parets eget eller kan surrogatmodern även ha bidThe theme of this essay is surrogate motherhood. This is the practice whereby one woman carries a child for another woman. The other woman and her partner are called the commissioning couple. When the surrogate mother has given birth, the child is handed over to the commissioning couple. The commissioning couple may be the genetic parents of the child, or the surrogate mother may have contributed

Objective The aim of this study was to establish when a second-stage diagnostic test may be of value in cases where a primary diagnostic test has given an uncertain diagnosis of the benign or malignant nature of an adnexal mass. Methods The diagnostic performance with regard to discrimination between benign and malignant adnexal masses for mathematical models including ultrasound variables and for

Placental dysfunction resulting in intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a common complication of pregnany and severe IUGR, with ensuing fetal hypoxia is an important cause of perinatal mortality and morbidity. Doppler studies of fetal and maternal vessels are routinely used for fetal surveillance and alterations in fetal venous blood flow has been demonstrated as a late sign of fetal compromi

The detailed structural and mechanical properties of a tetraoleoyl cardiolipin (TOCL) bilayer were determined using neutron spin echo (NSE) spectroscopy, small angle neutron and X-ray scattering (SANS and SAXS, respectively), and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We used MD simulations to develop a scattering density profile (SDP) model, which was then utilized to jointly refine SANS and SAXS d

The management of primary gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) has evolved with the introduction of adjuvant therapy. Recently reported results of the SSG XVIII/AIO trial by the Scandinavian Sarcoma Group (SSG) and the German Working Group on Medical Oncology (AIO) represent a significant change in the evidence for adjuvant therapy duration. The objectives of this European Expert Panel meeting

Olovligt tillgängliggörande av upphovsrättsligt skyddat material genom fildelning är ett av vår tids mest debatterade ämnen. Teknikens utveckling har gjort det möjligt för enskilda personer att snabbt och kostnadsfritt tillgodogöra sig perfekta kopior av musik och film. Detta resulterar i att kompensation uteblir för upphovsmän och deras rättighetshavare.

This master’s thesis examines the norm-critical awareness among children librarians in Swedish public libraries and how the practical everyday work with current literature for children function with this awareness. By adopting a norm-critical approach you have the ability to observe the different types of norms that you can find among us and that effects the way we see the world. Some of these nor
