Denna artikel diskuterar arkivkällor med känslig information och behovet av olika etiska angreppssätt. Avsikten med att lyfta dessa frågor är att frambringa en diskussion om hur historiker kan arbeta med känsligt material på ett etiskt sätt. Artikeln lyfter fram främst tre begrepp: processetik, omsorgsetik och dygdetik.In comparison to disciplines within the humanities and social sciences working directly with living humans, as well as in comparison to oral history, historians primarily working with archival sources lack a living discussion on ethics in connection with our methods. At the same time, archival sources that contain sensitive personal information are central in many fields – such as queer history –

Sammanfattning De senaste åren har Sverige fått kritik från flera internationella organ angående situationen för frihetsberövade barn och i synnerhet de restriktioner som majoriteten av dem har, vilket ofta medför isolering. Häktade barn befinner sig mitt i inledande rättsprocess samtidigt som de befinner sig i denna isolering. Detta påverkar naturligtvis deras deltagande i rättsprocessen. FN:s koSummary Over the past few years, several international bodies has criticised Sweden regarding the situation children in custody face, with special concern about the restrictions, including isolation, that the majority of the children have to endure. While in this isolation, children in custody are in an early stage of their judicial process. The UN's Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC)

'I’m spiritual – not religious' has become a key expression of a new form of globalized religion focussing on a specific notion of spirituality, signifying a universal human essence, located deep inside each individual as a potential for wellbeing and personal transformation. The message is: Spirituality unites us into a single humanity, while religion, with its dogma and rituals, separates us. Th

My focus is on aggregation of individual value rankings of alternatives to a collective value ranking. This is compared with aggregation o individual prefrences to a collective preference. While in an individual preference ranking the alternatives are ordered in accordance with one’s preferences, the order in a value ranking expresses one’s comparative evaluation of the alternatives, from the best

I denna uppsats behandlas rätten till att bruka vapen vid nödvärn och nödvärnsexcess ur ett rättssäkerhetsperspektiv. Rätten till nödvärn och nödvärnsexcess stadgas i 24 kap 1 § respektive 24 kap 6 § brottsbalken. Rätt till nödvärn föreligger bl.a. när någon blir utsatt för ett angrepp på person, såvida den angripne inte går utöver vad som får anses vara uppenbart oförsvarligt. Bedömningen görsThis paper analyses the right to use weapons in self-defence and excessive self-defence from a legal perspective. The right of self-defence and excessive self-defence is stated in Chapter 24 section 1 and Chapter 24 section 6 in Brottsbalken (the Swedish penal code). The right of self-defence is inter alia granted people who are subject to an attack unless the self-defence is unreasonably. The ju

The study investigates the underlying factors and motives that led to the planning of collective housing in Sweden, from the 1930s until today. The brand new collective housing KomBo is used as an example to illuminate the current practice for collective housing planning. Through a critical review of various planning related documents and a total of five interviews, the study conclude the followin

Mindfulness is not only relevant for enhancing humans’ well-being but also the well-being of our planet through pro-environmental behaviour. In recent years, this possible connection of mindfulness with pro-environmental behaviour has received increasing attention in research. I used Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, PsychInfo and PsychArticles via the EBSCO host to conduct a systematic literature r

This thesis analyzes, from a media framing perspective, the American main stream media's framing of the Goldstone Report. Media have played a significant roll in influencing both the public and policymakers, particularly when it comes to foreign issues where the media often is the primary source of information. The effect media has on U.S. foreign policy is a known fact, though to which extent

The aim of this study was to examine how autobiographic authors afflicted by schizophrenia use their language when they talk about themselves, what kind of words and terms they use when they talk about schizophrenia and if there is a possibility that the discourses that the authors use differentiate from each other. In order to examine this I used critical discourse analysis due to the fact that p

I knew early that I wanted to work with leather, a material that I took interest in a while back but never had the time to explore it thoroughly. My thoughts are aimed toward refining a previous project as well as creating other supporting products for this. I wanted to challenge myself so I wrote in the brief that the designs should accommodate for the production method i had in mind: Saddle sti

This thesis aims to show that the doctrine of analogia entis, the analogy of being, is a proper form of thought for Catholic theology, because it is based on a theological metaphysics. The thesis includes a very brief historical account of the concept of analogy in philosophical and theological metaphysics, but has for its real starting point the exclamation of Karl Barth that the analogia entis i

The aim of this thesis is to highlight how gender and racialisation shapes lived experiences within the Swedish theatre context. The study is based on interviews with four non-white actors working or studying in Sweden. To interpret the material from the interviews I use narrative analysis and draw on Sara Ahmed’s queer phenomenology and its concept of orientation. I use a phenomenological perpect

The current debate on different models of global democracy has at times pitted proponents of ’statist’, ’cosmopolitan’, and ’pluralistic’ perspectives against each other, each claiming to represent perspectives fulfilling normative criteria for maintaining democratic legitimacy in a wider global and transnational sphere. This paper sets out to act in defence of one of these models in particular, n

Lojalitetsplikten är ett begrepp som innefattar en skyldighet för avtalsparter att ta tillvara varandras intressen och att vara lojala mot varandra. Det är ett brett begrepp som tar sig olika uttryck beroende på vilken avtalstyp det rör sig om, vilket gör att en uttömmande beskrivning inte är möjlig. Jori Munukka gav år 2007 ut en omfattande avhandling i ämnet, Kontraktuell lojalitetsplikt. Denna The principle of good faith is a concept which comprises of a duty for the contracting parties to respect each other’s interests and to be loyal to each other. It is a broad concept which changes in character depending on the type of agreement it concerns, and which therefore makes it difficult to give an exhaustive definition of. Jori Munukka, published in 2007 a comprehensive thesis on the subje

This study is an attempt to clarify the legal status of humanitarian intervention under international law today. Despite the long history of legal discourse on the matter, there is no consistent consensus as regards the legality of humanitarian intervention under international law. The opponents of formally acknowledging a right of humanitarian intervention often refer to the risk of abuse of the

In his recent article Professor of International Affairs Charles Kupchan claims that Party Politics has become increasingly important for American Foreign Policy since the end of the Cold War. This assertion makes it valuable to assess how the substance of the Foreign Policy differs between the two American parties in various cases and if this difference is characterized by consistency or by chang

Today we can sometimes discern a tendency in cultural policy in Sweden and abroad, of using culture as a tool to achieve development. In Sweden this tendency is the most obvious at the regional level. In this thesis I study this tendency in the cultural policy in Region Skåne. The aim is firstly to examine in what way the tendency of integrating a development perspective in the cultural policy, i

The amount of environmental degradation occurring in our world today continues to rise in large part due to human behaviors. As this paper discusses the relation between households, their energy-saving behaviors, and how these behaviors can affect the environmental impact of individuals as well as national climate-change policies, the power each one of us has in making a change within this world b
