The paper considers whether there can be legal states of affairs that are both the rule and the exception or, in other words, whether there can be situations where the rule and the exception are superimposed upon each other so that neither the rule nor the exception singularly controls the legal classification of a given situation although both the rule and the exception continue to apply.

During the last decades of the 1900’s, businesses started to - in a broader sense than before - acknowledge the economic relevance of intangible components, such as emotional experiences, of products and services. This dissertation explores how the so-called lifestyle hotel segment reflects the socio-cultural currents that set the conditions for these changes in the Western economy. The aim of the

BACKGROUND: Intense exercise has been reported as one risk factor for hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA). PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate (1) whether this is true for both former impact and nonimpact athletes, (2) if the risk of a hip or knee arthroplasty due to OA is higher than expected, and (3) if joint deterioration is associated with knee injuries. STUDY DESIGN: Cohort study; Level of evi

The purpose of this essay is to provide with a theoretical survey on the conceptions of "Nationalism" and "Internationalism", on a general level as well as applied to the scientific field. This pair of conceptions is useful to help us explain to understand the purpose of scientific cooperation and scientific-political motives behind the scientific society, in this case Europe during the period 187

Popular Abstract in Swedish Möjligheten att använda tillförlitlighetsteori som ett verktyg för utvärdering av säkerhet och återstående livslängd av skadade konstruktioner har undersökts. Det framkommer att tillgängliga riktlinjer och stödjande dokument är öppna för tolkningar och detta leder till resultat med oacceptabla skillnader. Tolkningar förkommer även vid deterministiska beräkningar men tilA feasibility study of reliability theory as a tool for the assessment of present safety and residual service life of damaged concrete structures has been performed in order to find a transparent methodology for the assessment procedure. It is concluded that the current guidelines are open to interpretation and that the variation in the results obtained regarding the structural safety is too grea

Great social challenges of today, and the conflicts arising therefrom, no longer come one by one. What makes them great is their entanglement in one other and across multiple levels. Similarly, spatial conflicts seldom arise in isolation, but result from simmering tensions that may manifest in a more insidious fashion, namely by appealing to intangible values. This chapter looks into one such spat

Due to a general expansion of Swedish public sector in the 1960s and 70s, there was a perceived need not only for closer contact between citizens and government agencies, but also for more government information about citizens’ rights and responsibilities. Following a government report called Expanded Government Information (1969), where a modernized and more active form of government information

Concepts are an important element of the way international lawyers think and talk about international law. They materialise as conceptual terms, such as ‘jurisdiction’, ‘self-defence’ and ‘abuse of rights’. To enable a critical evaluation of international law and legal discourse, it is important that single instances of use of such terms be fully understood. This task presupposes a full recognitio

With this essay I have examined the view of the saints during different epochs of the Middle Ages and what they considered distinguised a saint. The sources I have used in my examination are three different hagiographies: Dialogi de vita et miraculis patrum Italicorum part 2 by Pope Gregory the Great in the 6th century, Vita Ansgarii by Rimbert in the 9th century and Vita Anselmi archiepiscopi Can

The starting point of this thesis is the managing of user-generated data in the online ecosystem and expanding development of big data. Many are worried that companies and authorities are invading their online privacy, and the lack of control by the provider of data, the citizens, can be considered one of our time’s most pressing civil rights issues. At the same time, media and information literac

In the past few years, a new networked public has emerged in Sweden, bringing together individuals from a conservative Christian background who have left faith and/or religious communities. Podcasts on religious deconstruction have played a crucial role in the formation of this network. This study is the first to explore the emerging phenomenon of religious deconstruction podcasts in Sweden. Speci
