SV: I januari 2003 fick homosexuella registrerade partners rätt att prövas som adoptivföräldrar i Sverige, i enlighet med en proposition från 2001. Beslutet kom först efter en lång debatt; redan 1986 lades en proposition fram som behandlade frågan och avslog den. Denna uppsats är en studie av de argument som förkommer i propositionerna. Syftet har varit dels att beskriva och analysera de argument

Coastal overwash is the flow of water and sediment over the crest of the beach that does not directly return to the water body, such as the ocean, sea, bay or lake, where it originated. There are two different phases of overwash, runup overwash and inundation overwash. Washover is the sediment transported and deposited inland by overwash process. Coastal overwash may occur either during storm cond

The text brings together the ECtHR and the CPT that are different, but key components of the system of combating torture on the European continent. On the basis of analysis of the historical background of the issue it points out the distancing concept that was followed by the drafters of the ECPT in respect of the relationship of the ECtHR and the CPT. As a result, the latter is not bound by the c

With the scientific evidence for extensive anthropogenic climate change continuously growing stronger, the human dimension of its projected impacts is getting more and more attention. The perhaps clearest example of this is the growing interest in human rights aspects of climate change. Within the United Nations, Maldives - a small island developing country in the Indian Ocean and home to 386,000

Today, biofuel industries are emerging in forms that can offer some unique opportunities to help combating climate change, cope with the emerging energy crisis and also serve to advance rural development for millions of rural poor who could benefit from this new development. Rural opportunities are expected to occur through: a) the generation of new employment and income opportunities and increase

Syfte med uppsatsen är att ta reda på hur skolkuratorns yrkesroll uppfattas av skolkuratorer själva och av andra yrkesgrupper i skolan. Frågeställningen är: Är skolkuratorns yrkesroll otydlig i skolan och vilka konsekvenser får det för skolkuratorn att bedriva socialt arbete i skolan? Avgränsande frågeställningar är: Vad är en skolkurator? Vilka samarbetsparter har en skolkurator och vilka relatio

The Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) have proved to combat inequalities, neoliberal policies, and ultimately, counteract the hegemonic economic rationale imposed by the market (Gaiger 2007). In particular, co-operatives are engaged in some market activity, although the economic principle does not prevail over the social objectives of the organisation. Indeed, this is the core of the social inno

The responsibilities for delivery of care in Sweden is divided between the regions and the municipalities. The regions run the hospitals and the primary care centres (PCCs) whereas the municipalities are responsible for homecare nursing and nursing homes. The homecare nurses and the doctors they need to seek advice from, thus belong to different organizations/contexts. As more patients with multi-

Kolhydrater är livsviktiga för människor och djur av fler anledningar än för att generera energi; överallt i kroppen –på cellmembran, inuti, och utanför celler – hittas långa kolhydratkedjor som kallas glukosaminoglykaner. Dessa kedjor bär många negativa laddningar, till stor del i form av sulfatgrupper, och kan vara självständiga eller kovalent bundna till ett protein – det senare fallet inkluder

Sverige tillämpar ett formellt arbetsgivarsynsätt avseende 183-dagarsregeln. Bestämmelsen återfinns i lagen (1991:586) om särskild inkomstskatt för utomlands bosatta, SINK. Där stadgas att utomlands bosatta personers ersättning ska undantas från beskattning om särskilda rekvisit är uppfyllda. Personen ska vistas färre än 183 dagar i Sverige och ersättningen betalas ut från en utländsk arbetsgivareSweden is one of few countries that apply a legal employer’s view when applying the 183-day rule. The Swedish 183-day rule is contained in the Income Tax Act (1991:586) for foreign residents, and states that foreign nationals shall be exempted from taxation if the requisition is fulfilled. The provision is implicated in the light of the 183-day rule in the OECD Model Tax Convention. The 183-day ru

Ternary isothermal (25°C) polyoxyalkylene triblock block copolymer ((EO)x(PO)y(EO)x where x is the number of ethylene oxide, EO, segments and y is the number of propylene oxide, PO, segments) systems with water and p-xylene as selective solvents for the PEO and PPO blocks, respectively, were chosen as study systems in this thesis as these ternary systems are good model systems for the self-assembl

The academic response to Bourdieu's sociology of law has mainly followed his Weberian focus on the role of legal professionals in state transformations. However, rereading Bourdieu's “The Force of Law” through the lens of its references and relating it to the sociology of law “of the moment” (i.e. that of the 1980s), it becomes clear that Bourdieu's sociology of law is more sophisticated than has

The activity of the manganese (Mn) efflux transporter SLC30A10 in the liver and intestines is critical for Mn excretion and preventing Mn toxicity. Homozygous loss-of-function mutations in SLC30A10 are a well-established cause of hereditary Mn toxicity. But, the relationship between more common SLC30A10 polymorphisms, Mn homeostasis, and disease is only recently emerging. In 2021, the first coding

Background: Depending on the definitions used, between 5 and 20 % of all Swedish children grow up with at least one parent suffering from alcohol problems, while 6 % have at least one parent who has received inpatient psychiatric care, conditions that may affect the children negatively. Nine out of ten Swedish municipalities therefore provide support resources, but less than 2 % of these children

Type 1 diabetes is a lifelong, chronic disease, that generally has a sudden onset early in life, which changes the conditions for the affected child and the child’s family. The overall purpose of this thesis was to explore the socioeconomic consequences of childhood onset type 1 diabetes and through this investigate how an early life health shock can affect adult socioeconomic status. The four inc
