Debatten om tiggeriet och tiggare ökar i Sverige och den här uppsatsen syftar till att finna uttryck för framställningen av tiggare, i debatten om ett eventuellt förbud mot att ge till tiggare. Perspektivet som är andrafiering förklarar hur skildringar av grupper skapas och hur vissa representationer av människor konstruerar en annan grupp som "de andra" i förhållande till samhället i st
Multi-Criteria Evaluation Analysis (MCEA) is a decision making method employed to solve optimization problems that require the evaluation of a set of criteria to build an optimal decision. Where MCEA is integrated with GIS, optimization problems with spatial aspects, such as finding the best location of a facility across an area, could be solved. MCEA is implemented through different criteria dec
This thesis investigates parking in residential areas, in the context of today’s car dependent society. The aim is to study the demand for parking in residential areas and to contribute to the knowledge of how this kind of parking can be used for changing travel behavior towards less car use, by investigating the demand for parking and the importance parking facilities in residential areas on hous
This study treats Swedish university students view on responsibility for human rights that are affected badly by the global trading environment. Human rights can no longer be seen as a local matter between the state and the individual, as globalization, technology and new ways to communicate has given the world tools to both contributing to the violation and the promotion of human rights globally.
France legalised same-sex marriage (mariage pour tous) in 2013. In theory, it also allows a recognition of gay and lesbian families, as the social parents can now adopt their spouses children, thus becoming themselves official parents. However, same-sex families existed prior to that law. Through interviews with French gay and lesbian parents, I focus on two aspects of their family life: the way t
Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att utveckla förståelsen av begreppet mänskliga rättigheter genom två olika perspektiv; ett moraliskt och ett politiskt. Materialet i uppsatsen utgörs av texter skrivna av tre olika filosofer: Martha C. Nussbaum, Charles Beitz och Philip Pettit. De tre erbjuder tre olika teorier för att förstå mänskliga rättigheter. En metod baserad på Quentin Skinners teori för attThe purpose of this essay is to develop the idea of human rights, using a moral and a political perspective. The material consists of texts written by three philosophers: Martha C. Nussbaum, Charles Beitz, and Philip Pettit. Each of them has their own idea of human rights. To fulfill the purpose of the essay a method based on Quentin Skinners theory of analyzing political philosophy is created. Th
This thesis aims to examine the European Union’s policy regarding immigration to the EU from third part states. The main purpose is to highlight the reformations that have taken place since the late 50’s. Through an critical discourse analysis as a method, the thesis concludes that EU’s present-day restrictive migration policy has had substantial influence on how we interpret the concept of immi
In the United States of America media and the press have the important role of being ”the fourth estate of government” which means that American media has the task to examine the political processes taking place within the country, as well as the USA's actions abroad. The importance of media not being biased or not framing certain kind of information cannot be overemphasized, but despite this,
This essay examines the extent to which notions concerning masculinities manifest themselves in the Swedish Government Official Report SOU 2014:6 Män och Jämställdhet, by analyzing how the concept of masculinity is constructed throughout the discourse presented by the document. Restricted to chapter 3, 4 and 11 of the publication; all of which is primarily focused on the question at issue, this es
The actions of states are governed by norms. These norms regulate what is looked upon as desirable behaviour and what is not. In recent years the norm about women, peace and security has developed and resulted in the UN Security Coun-cil Resolution 1325. The aim of the resolution is to make peace processes more inclusive and take issues related to women into concern. Despite the resolution much is
This study investigates how regionalism and regional identity is perceived and promoted in the Oresund region including a specific focus on Malmö, particularly from the perspective of the Oresund committee as an actor. The relevance of this focus is sanctioned by reported growth of regionalism in the Oresund region, and the sparse amount of research in whether organizations and their work could be
Syftet med uppsatsen är att genom en jämförande kvalitativ undersökning av de fyra litterära magasinen Vi läser, Books & Dreams, Fyrahundrafemtio och LitteraturMagazinet och undersöka hur boken och litteratur förmedlas i dessa litteraturmagasin. För att förstå bakgrunden till hur litteratur förmedlas i magasinen krävs en bredare förståelse för hur litteratur i allmänhet presenteras idag. Därfö
Multirotor UAVs have in recent years become a trend among academics, engineers and hobbyists alike due to their mechanical simplicity and availability. Commercial uses range from surveillance to recreational flight with plenty of research being conducted in regards to design and control. With applications towards search and rescue missions in mind, the main objective of this thesis work is the de
Precision agriculture requires detailed information regarding the crop status variability within a field. Remote sensing provides an efficient way to obtain such information through observing biophysical parameters, such as canopy nitrogen content, leaf coverage, and plant biomass. However, individual remote sensing sensors often fail to provide information which meets the spatial and temporal res
This study tests whether the rise of free trade agreements (FTAs) in East Asia since 2000 has been an attempt to manage the growing complexity of trade both between members of that region and each other, as well as between them and the rest of the world. The study uses a measure of dependency based on GDP, as well as a measure of intraindustry trade as indicators. Descriptive statistics showed tha
Detta examensarbete bygger på en översättning från engelska av en statsvetenskaplig text, Ungovernability, av den tyske statsvetaren Claus Offe. Den inledande delen av arbetet är en textanalys av källtexten som utgår från textmodellen i Lennart Hellspongs och Per Ledins Vägar genom texten: handbok i brukstextanalys (1997). Analysen följs av en översättningskommentar som fokuserar på problem vid öv
I en värld där UX-standarden höjs av att använda välutvecklade vardagsprodukter, förväntas det bättre och bättre UX Design av alla produkter inom IT-branschen. Man skulle kunna säga att UX Design inte bara är avgörande för den framtida positionen på övervakningskamerabranschen, utan även ett krav för att möta efterfrågan av att det inte längre endast är experter som installerar kameror. UX Design In a world where the UX-standard is rising from the use of well-developed everyday products, better UX Design is becoming more and more expected of all products within the IT-industry. It can not only be argued that an investment in UX Design is critical for the future position on the surveillance camera industry, but also required to meet requirements of the non-experts installing the camera. UX
This paper's interest is the debate about the Child Care Subsidy (Betreuungsgeld). A German family policy that came into force in August 2013. The subsidy rewards parents that take care of their children themselves instead of sending them to daycare centres. The paper shall illustrate how the tedious dispute on this policy between government and opposition constituted space for discourses reve
This thesis focuses on the sale of electric vehicles (EVs) in Denmark and Norway in an attempt to gain insights into what stimulates and maintains pro-environmental behaviour. Norway stands out as an exceptional case with a significantly better marketshare of EVs than anywhere else in the world. In an attempt to shed more light on what causes these results, the study applies the theoretical framew
