This pioneering volume explores complex local, global and digital contexts from the perspectives of Digital Theology.The use of and access to digital technology is highly contextual. It differs between regions, generations, classes, religious denominations, and gender.

After the dust had settled from the second world war, western Europe experienced increased levels of material wellbeing. Education, income, and security were on the rise. This led to a wave of new values of self-expression and a shift away from security, economic and class based political conflict.

Den svenska aktiemarknaden har under senare år utvecklats till att innehålla fler aktiva aktörer, och värdet på aktier noterade på svenska marknadsplatser har ökat markant. I takt med en ökad aktivitet har vi även sett en ökning of- fentliga uppköpserbjudanden och därmed även sådana av fientligt slag. Fient- liga uppköpserbjudanden tar formen av ett offentligt uppköpserbjudande, men med avvikelsenIn recent years, the Swedish stock market has developed to include more ac- tive players, and the value of shares listed on Swedish marketplaces has in- creased significantly. Along with increased activity, we have also seen an in- crease in public takeover offers and thus also those of a hostile nature. Hostile takeover offers take the form of a public takeover offer, but with the exception that

In the last decade Sweden has seen a steady increase in the usage of fi-rearms and explosives to settle disputes between local street gangs. These groups predominantly operate in socio-economically disadvantaged areas where members often gradually drift into a criminal lifestyle. They have a loose structure and the relations between members are often based on fri-endship and a common upbringing wh

I takt med att samhället utvecklas så förändras även kroppsidealen. Genom marknadsföring av skönhetsingrepp på sociala medier har ingrepp som faktiskt är förenade med stora hälsorisker blivit normaliserade. Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda hur svensk rätt, i form av marknadsföringslagen och skönhetslagen, reglerar marknadsföring av skönhetsingrepp. Dels vad gäller reklam som utelämnar riskinAs society develops, the beauty ideals are changing. Surgeries that are in fact united with great risk, have by the means of marketing of cosmetic surgery on social media become normalized. The purpose with this essay is to investigate how Swedish law, in regards of The Marketing Act and The Beauty Law, control marketing of cosmetic surgery. Both in terms of advertising without information of the

I den svenska kriminalpolitiska debatten har frågan om kriminella nätverk tagit stor plats. Det finns en utbredd oro i samhället över de kriminella nätverken och det finns en ständig press på staten att komma till rätta med problemen. I mars 2022 presenterade regeringen ett lagförslag om kronvittnessystem som en del av en lösning. Det finns en stark tystnadskultur bland medlemmar i de kriminellaGang related crimes are often one of the main topics in the Swedish political debates. There is a common concern within the society related to the criminal gangs and a pressure on the government to act. In March 2022, the government presented a bill where a “crown witness” system is being suggested as part of a solution to the problem. There is a strong “silence culture” between members in crimi

This thesis aimed to explore the binding pocket of galectin-8N and galectin-3C. Both structure-based drug design and fragment-based drug discovery were utilized in this project, exemplifying the benefits of the different approaches. Structural determination of the proteins in complex with both high affinity ligands, and small fragments was achieved through x-ray crystallography. The structures of

Climate change is posing a threat to the whole world. In some places, prolonged droughts cause problems whereas extreme rainfall causes problems elsewhere. Rotterdam faces increasing threats from the North Sea because of rising sea levels. The areas that are not protected by dikes are the most vulnerable and will be the first to flood. This project focuses on an unprotected area of Rotterdam whic

Med utgångspunkt i en rättsdogmatisk metod har denna framställning syftat till att utreda gällande rättsläge beträffande otjänliga försök inom dansk och svensk straffrätt. Mer specifikt är det straffansvarets omfattning vid otjänliga försök som undersökts genom en kritisk komparation mellan svensk och dansk rätt. Som en konsekvens av en vag lagtext i 23 kap. 1 § BrB är otjänliga försök inom svenBy a legal dogmatic method, this thesis has intended to investigate the legislation in force regarding harmless attempted crimes within Danish and Swedish criminal law. More specifically, the scope of criminal liability in the case of harmless attempts has been examined through a critical comparison between Swedish and Danish law. Harmless attempted crimes are because of an indistinct text of la

Domstolarnas uppgift att verka för förlikningar har fått allt större prioritet sedan Rättegångsbalkens införande. När parterna lyckas nå en förlikning i en tvist som är anhängiggjord i domstol kan de välja att begära stadfästelse. Om avtalet reglerar den sak som talan rör ska rätten stadfästa avtalet i en dom. Denna dom får sedan rättskraft och frågan i målet kan därmed inte prövas igen. För att nThe courts’ task of trying to reach a conciliation between parts in a dispute has gained increasing priority since the Swedish Civil procedure law came into force. When parties successfully reach an agreement in a dispute pending in court, they can request ratification. If the agreement addresses the subject matter of the claim, the court will ratify the agreement through a judgment. Through the r

Democratic theory and research have lately been criticized in several fields. A classic and contested question is the role of the working class in democracy and democratization. Yet, it has been overshadowed by elite strategies that have been at the core of the most influential analytical framework in regard to late twentieth-century transitions. This is where some of the criticism has been laid.
