Even though urban cemeteries in Sweden today can be seen as making space for different memorial practices, they are also a materialization of certain cultural and religious norms (Kjaersgaard & Venbrux, 2016), which sometimes are expressed as functional and aesthetic values. In this respect, the urban cemetery has an abiding attitude to change in building on past traditions and designs to addrEven though urban cemeteries in Sweden today can be seen as making space for different memorial practices, they are also a materialization of certain cultural and religious norms (Kjaersgaard & Venbrux, 2016), which sometimes are expressed as functional and aesthetic values.

The purpose of this thesis is to problematize how Swedish migration policy is being legitimized. The study examines discourses in debates about migration between the Moderate Party and the Swedish Social Democratic Party. There are two major areas of interest: firstly, their discussions about the change in migration policies in 2015 and 2016, and secondly, their articulations of the unaccompanied

The autumn of 2015 constituted a major break with the prior migration regime in Sweden, as the government implemented temporary migration laws in order to curb the large-scale arrival of migrants, which had taken the authorities by surprise at the time. Following this, the question of migration has gradually to a greater extent come to be framed as a threat by government officials and the politica

Distinctive new features of the Egyptian bureaucracy have followed the process of economic liberalization and privatization that began in 1991. The Egyptian bureaucracy is excessively large and suffers from inefficiencies and low capacity, but dealing with prioritized policy areas, such as privatization, experts have been recruited to so called “Technical Offices” that are closely tied to the cabi

Price stability has become an increasingly important target of policy makers. However, the debate on the effects of inflation and economic growth is by no means settled. It is generally agreed that inflation uncertainty harms growth, however, a common challenge in inflation-growth studies lies in the difficulty to separate the effects of inflation rates from inflation volatility. Using inflation r

Entrepreneurship Education (EE) is key to innovation, social and economic growth. This thesis aims to recognize how graduates from the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Master’s in Lund University, who did not start a venture post-graduation, apply the program’s learnings while employed in private corporations in Sweden. By researching corporate entrepreneurship or intrapreneurship through these ind

While the Swedish debate on crime often centers around crime, punishment, and offenders, there is notably less attention dedicated to those who are exposed to crime. This discrepancy is particularly evident in the lack of comprehensive theories explaining who becomes a victim. This thesis investigates whether a pattern can be identified between what kind of background or exposure of crime and bein

This qualitative study examines the organisation and risk-management practices of the Northern Civil Area and its County Administrative Boards. After a prolonged latent period, Sweden resumed its work on total defence in 2015, requiring authorities to adapt to new forms of security challenges including hybrid threats that blur the boundary between peace and conflict. A major administrative reform

The best interest of the child is not a defined term but a concept that allows for cultural, political and social interpretations. The Swedish government is obliged to protect every child's interests and take the judicial decision-making into account in all aspects of a child's situation. Subsequent to an event in early autumn, 2011, when two children in the care of the LVU, were deported

This study compiles a total of five statistical models of how to predict the probable outcome in football games in the German football league, the Bundesliga. The models are based on quantitative historical data from 1683 games and estimate probabilities of the outcomes home win (1), draw (X) and away win (2). The purpose of the study is to test whether a more accurate prediction can be formulated

This is an inquiry into how aspects of the present human reality came to being and thereby also an investigation into limitations and potentialities of this “present”. An important argument in this essay is that there exists a mutually affective relationship between culture and politics and that this relationship implies both possibilities and constraints. With this in mind I try to critically inv

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) was ranked as the sixth leading cause of death in 1990 and is projected to be the fourth leading cause of death worldwide by 2030 due to an increase in smoking rates and demographic changes in many countries (Mathers & Loncar 2006). To diagnose COPD there are several methods which are either imprecise or very expensive. The objective of this master

According to the curriculum of the preschool, one of it's purposes is to work with equality, and to challenge traditional gender roles. Despite this, many preschools still lack active work with gender/equality – the difference amongst pre-schools is sometimes extreme. I tried to find elements that influence preschool teachers to choose to work with gender and equality. Some of these elements a

This work will first go through different definitions about what constitute a holding company. Thereafter the Swedish tax rules, relevant for the localisation of a holding company, will be examined. Subsequently different definitions will be discussed about what constitute a holding company. In that context the concept tax paradise will be discussed. In the next chapter those criterias will be dis
