The southernmost Swedish region of Scania, the Danish capital region and the Danish region of Zealand are combined into the metropolitan region of Greater Copenhagen, sometimes referred to as the Öresund region.

The purpose of this essay is to examine the ideas that are prominent in the Swedish disability policy regarding the stated goal of equal participation in society for all. In order to achieve this, I have chosen to focus on two documents, they are SOU 1982:46 Handlingsprogram i handikappfrågor and Prop. 2016/17:188 Nationellt mål och inriktning för funktionshinderspolitiken. I have examined these t
This study will aim to test two different theories on the subject of interest groups and their political work, against a case of a large Swedish interest group. The aim is to see if these two theories are applicable on this case, and if so, they can help to better understand the subject of interest groups and political influence. The first theory of the study is a bit more evolved and gives room f

Climate-induced migration has received an increased amount of attention as an area of research. Earlier studies identify ideal typical discourses of climate-induced migration, in which climates migrants have been positioned as a ‘threat’, as ‘passive victims’ and most recently as ‘adaptable agent’. Drawing on poststructural discourse theory of Laclau and Mouffe and postcolonial theory this essay h
Den 3 juli 2016 trädde Europaparlamentets och rådets förordning (EU) nr 596/2015 av den 16 april 2014 om marknadsmissbruk, marknadsmissbruksförordningen (MAR), i kraft.

I början av 1800-talet fanns det ingen lagstadgad rätt för mannen att bruka mildare fysiskt våld mot sin hustru, men inte heller något förbud. Det hade fram till 1734 års lag varit tillåtet, så länge hon inte fick synliga skador. Våld i nära relation är ett nutida begrepp och inte något som diskuterades eller användes på 1800-talet. Begreppet har använts i uppsatsen i syfte att studera vilka handlIn the early 19th century, there was no statutory right for a man to use milder physical violence against his wife, but no prohibition. It had been allowed until the 1734 law, as long as she did not receive visible injuries. Violence in close relationship is a contemporary concept and not something that was discussed or used in the 19th century. The term has been used in the paper in order to stud
Barnäktenskap är ett fenomen som är vanligt förekommande i stora delar av världen. År 2004 infördes lagbestämmelser om att utländska barnäktenskap inte ska erkännas i Sverige om minst en av parterna haft anknytning till Sverige. För att stärka skyddet mot barnäktenskap skärptes lagen ytterligare år 2014. Under år 2018 lade regeringen fram ett förslag till ny lag om att förbjuda erkännandet av utläChild marriage is a phenomenon existing in many parts of the world. In 2004 a new law came into force stating that Sweden does not recognize foreign child marriages if at least one of the parts has ties to Sweden. In order to achieve an increased protection against child marriage the legislation was further strengthened in 2014. In 2018 the Swedish government presented a proposition to a new law f
The purpose of the work was to investigate whether an extinguishing powder with a darker color other than white has an increased extinguishing effect when extinguishing a fire in an enclosure. In the experiments conducted, a conventional extinguishing powder was tested against a carbon black-dyed extinguishing powder with nitrogen or air as a propellant. All other variables were kept the same. To
Den 1 april 2019 kommer en ny djurskyddslag träda i kraft. En av de stora och viktiga ändringar för djurskyddet är att ett kunskapskrav ska införas i lagen. Ambitionen var att även ett utbildningskrav skulle införas i lagen men det visade sig vara oproportionerligt och alldeles för betungande för de enskilda. Ett problem som brukar förekomma vid ikraftträdande av en ny lag är att de nya bestämmeOn April 1, 2019, a new law will replace the current Swedish animal welfare law (1988: 534). One of the major and important changes for animal welfare is that the knowledge requirement is to now be introduced into the law. Worth to mention is that there also was an ambition to introduce the education requirement into the law. However, this proved to be disproportionate and too demanding. A probl

Japans rättssystem före 1880 baserades på ett rättssystem av kinesiskt ursprung. Efter att Tokugawa-shogunatet föll 1867, genomförde den japanska regeringen en modernisering av rättssystemet genom reception av europeisk rätt. Inom straffrätten utfärdades 1880 och 1907 års Penal Code efter europeisk modell. Syftet med uppsatsen är att jämföra straffrättsutvecklingen i Europa och Japan från 1700-talThe Japanese legal system before 1880 was based on a legal system of Chinese origin. After the Tokugawa-shogunate fell in 1867, the Japanese government carried out a modernization of the legal system through reception of European law. In the penal law area, the Penal Codes of 1880 and 1907 were issued based on the European model. The purpose of this essay is to compare penal law development in Eur
Religiös slakt påbjuds inom både islam och judendom. Gemensamt för dessa metoder är att djuret ofta slaktas utan föregående bedövning. Denna slakt är i Sverige förbjuden enligt 14 § djurskyddslagen (1988:534). Samtidigt stadgas i artikel 9 EKMR rätt till religionsfrihet. Uppsatsens syfte är att utreda huruvida 14 § djurskyddslagen (1988:534) kan anses vara förenlig med rätten till religionsfrihet Both Judaism and Islam dictate religious slaughter, whereby livestock often is slaughtered without prior stunning. In Sweden, this method of slaughter is prohibited pursuant to section 14 of the Animal Welfare Act (1988:534). However, Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights stipulates freedom of religion. The present paper aims to examine whether the Swedish legislation is compatible
De senaste åren har antalet barn som tvångsomhändertas med stöd av lagen (1990:52) med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga, LVU, ökat kraftigt, och det finns ingen tydlig förklaring till varför denna ökning har skett. Tvångsomhändertaganden med stöd av LVU kan bl.a. bli aktuellt när en person under 20 år har något annat socialt nedbrytande beteende. Rekvisitet är tänkt att täcka in barn som på The last years the number of children subjected to compulsory care under the Care of Young Persons Act (LVU) increased substantially with no clear explanation. A person under 20 years can be subjected to compulsory care under the Care of Young Persons Act if he or she has a socially destructive behavior. The purpose of the prerequisite is to make sure that children who in other ways than through s

The range of these challenges is wide, such challenges being social, environmental and economical. Air pollution, health issues, increasing heat, integration, social exclusion, loneliness or mobility probl
Competition over reproduction – how does it affect the DNA? Competition over what is often a scarce resource -reproduction, is a phenomenon widely studied in science. It is the ultimate endeavor for life, ensuring that an individual’s DNA is carried on to the next generation, preserving its footprint in the shape of a child. This is a very selfish enterprise for many organisms which becomes appar
The process of firms entering and exiting the market has since Schumpeter’s introduction of the concept of creative destruction been a subject of interest for economists aiming to determine what drives economic growth. However, limited availability of data has long been a hindrance to such ambitions and it is not until recent decades that empirical studies on the role of firm dynamics for economic
This paper uses a bivariate BEKK model to estimate volatility spillover effects between stock and bond markets for the Nordic countries Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Norway. Daily log returns between the years 2001 and 2018 are analyzed. No spillover effect from the bond to the stock market is found in any of the countries which is a result that is unusual compared to a large part of the preexistin
