Meguid’s theory on Position, Salience and Ownership, I analyse the two Swedish government parties Folkpartiets and Moderaternas strategic approaches towards the populist radical right party Sverigedemokraterna.

Denna uppsats diskuterar ett nytt begrepp som inte många är bekanta vid, men som vi alla är en del av: slash-karriärer. En slash-karriär kan sägas vara ett uttryck för vår syn på ett arbete idag och alla de etablerade värderingar och ideal som ligger bakom. För att undersöka vilka dessa ideal och föreställningar är och vad de säger om vår syn på en karriär idag har jag, genom att utföra en kvalita
We analyse biological switches with the aid of computers and the Gillespie method, a stochastic solver. Stochastic calculations can lead to spontaneous switches which are, in part, determined by a subset of the parameters. In a deterministic description this is hidden. Initial analysis using a deterministic description of the system will reveal that by applying certain constraints on the system we
Fenomenet med kommunala allmännyttiga bostadsföretag sträcker sig tillbaka till 1930-talet. Syftet med att en kommun har ägt ett bostadsföretag har hela tiden varit att detta skall vara kommunens instrument för att uppfylla det bostadsförsörjningsansvar som åläggs kommunen. Driften av bostadsföretagen har dock hela tiden drivits utifrån KL:s förbud för kommuner att driva verksamhet med vinstsyfte

Finansiell leasing är tillsammans med traditionella banklån och avbetalningsköp den vanligaste formen av extern finansiering för små- och medelstora företag i Sverige. Det är dessutom en finansieringsform som förväntas öka kraftigt i popularitet till följd av de kreditgivningsreformer som många banker tvingats genomföra efter finanskrisen 2009 samt den pågående euro- krisen. Trots detta saknas til
Området för hemlig avlyssning av elektronisk kommunikation (hemlig teleavlyssning) och hemlig övervakning av elektronisk kommunikation (hemlig teleövervakning) är ett område som tidvis vållar stor debatt bland jurister och även bland allmänheten. få EU-rättsliga akter har nog varit så medialt uppmärksammade som datalagringsdirektivet som nyligen ogiltigförklarades av Europeiska unionens domstol. DThe area of covert interception of electronic communication (telephone tapping) and covert surveillance of electronic communication (covert telephone surveillance or metering) is an area which at times causes much debate in the legal profession and among the general public as well.

Dödsstraff är idag förbjudet i Sverige. Tanken på att samhället utnämner sig själv till härskare över liv och död är både fascinerande och motbjudande, men har varit ett faktum under flera hundra år.

Grön offentlig upphandling är idag en självklarhet och har gått från att vara förknippat med misstänksamhet till att vara accepterat och främjat av lagstiftning och politik. De juridiska möjligheterna för grön offentlig upphandling har framförallt utarbetats genom EUD:s praxis på området.
