This research addresses the role and the power that the media have in framing information about terrorism and also the importance of the media in a well functioning democracy. In order to do so, a case study of the Terrorist Organization November 17 (or 17N) in Greece is presented, using theories related to terrorism, media and political influence in order to better understand the way that the med
The goal for this thesis was to understand the scope of the healthcare exemption in the Directive 2006/123/EC on Services in the Internal Market (Services Directive) as it applies to national legislation/authorities of the membership states (MS) of EU. The basis for this thesis is the Services Directive; this Directive has certain exceptions in regards to the subject matter. Therefore, for a deepe
Sweden has a history of being seen as a tolerant and generous country when it comes to receiving refugees from countries suffering from war. In times of increased influence of radical right-wing parties across Europe, Sweden as the first country decided to grant permanent residence permits to refugees escaping the Syrian war. By applying the Multiple Streams Framework and treating Sweden as a devi
The aim of this study was to examine teachers' attitudes to the notification requirement of 14:1 SoL. It also aimed to examine the factors that influence their tendency to report, and what might constitute obstacles to report, according to the teachers themselves. The study is based on qualitative semi-structured interviews with four secondary school teachers in a municipality in Sweden. In
Issues of democracy and the greater debate on development cannot go without an examination of the various agencies that play a role in the larger development agenda and in political participation in particular, including NGOs and the Media. Here media refers to both traditional media of television, radio and press and social media and WEB 2.0. The case of YALI and the constitution making process i

För att uppnå de nationella klimatmålen har energieffektivisering vid renovering av flerbostadshus uppmärksammats som ett strategiskt område. Dock väljer många fastighetsägare bort investeringar i energieffektiviserande åtgärder till förmån för projekt som anses vara mer lönsamma. Därmed är det av intresse att undersöka hur fastighetsägarna motiverar sina val vid investeringar i energieffektiviserIn order to achieve the national climate goals in Sweden, energy-efficiency has been noticed as a strategic area. Despite of the possibility, investments in sustainable retrofit of building blocks are not prioritized among property owners. Instead, projects with a higher profit are chosen. Therefore, it is essential to scrutinize the decision-makers motivation during this investments and how the p
The thesis evaluates the process of making a survey and explores the statistics involved in the process. It is based on a study conducted in collaboration with Simrishamn municipality, which explores the habits and attitudes of migration in the municipality. An important finding is that age and gender affect the respondents’ answers and the response rate. Consequentially it is imperative to implem
It has at times been a debate among media and legislators about the Swedish police officers dis-cretionary application and great room for interpretation when dealing with the Swedish act: the Act (1976:511) on arrest of intoxicated people, etc. (our translation) which in Swedish is short-ened: LOB. It has also been comments on the law's primary care purpose, which is strongly em-phasized in th
This study deals with two issues. One is the interpretation of reconstructions of Iron Age houses; and the other is whether virtual reality—i.e. 3D modeling—is a useful tool for this interpretation. Physical reconstructions are constrained by both researchers’ and financiers’ interests. These interests sometimes clash, when e.g. return on investment forces a profitable version of a given project,
Hanöbuktens utveckling under den senaste istiden har studerats med hjälp av borrkärnor från IODP’s Baltic Sea Palaeoenvironment expedition i Östersjön. Genom att analysera förekomsten av IRD, korrelera en varvig enhet till Ringbergs (1991) regionala lervarvskronologi från sydöstra Sverige, göra pollenanalyser och glödförlustbestämningar har en del luckor i Hanöbuktens historia fyllts i. I borrkärnThe development of Hanö Bay during the last ice age has been investigated by analyzing cores from IODP’s Balitc Sea Palaeoenvironment expedition in the Baltic Sea.

The aim of this quasi-experimental pilot study was to examine if neurofeedback is associated with a reduction in some of the common symptoms suffered by traumatized refugees who have been exposed to war and/or torture. Furthermore, an ambition was to develop and test methods for conducting research with this group. Twenty-one individuals were divided into either a treatment-group (n=12) or a non-e
Højesteret frågade domstolen i Europeiska Unions om förhandsavgörande i fallet om Post Danmarks hade missbrukat sin dominerande ställning med tolkning under artikel 102 i funktionsfördraget. Post Danmark hade tillämpat prisstrategier som förvärvats synergier som upprätthålls av sitt utbud av flera produkter.

Post Danmark had applied price strategies acquired from synergies maintained from its range of products. Post Danmark was able to force prices down on the relevant market for unaddressed mail in the market of Denmark. The pricing h
Kaapvaal kratonen består av ett välbevarat fragment av arkeisk jordskorpa som utgör ett värdefullt objekt vid palaeokontinentala rekonstruktioner. Syftet med den här studien var att visualisera vulkaniska händelserna i kratonen genom tiden med hjälp av ArcGIS och tillgängliga geokronologiska data. Detta gjordes genom att skapa ett antal så kallade ’time slice’ kartor som representerar tidsperioderThe Kaapvaal Craton comprises a piece of well preserved Archaean crust making it a valuable subject in the pursuit of palaeocontinental reconstruction. The aim of this study was to visualize the volcanic events of the craton through time using arcGIS and available geochronological data. This was done by creating a number of so called ‘time slice’ maps that represent time periods from ca. 3 Ga to 1
Kvarts är ett av de vanligaste mineralen i jordskorpan, både i sediment och i bergarter. Halten kvarts i sediment är intressant vid bedömning av bl.a. mognadsgraden. Ett sediments mognadsgrad kan användas vid tolkning av dess historia, vilket är till nytta vid t.ex. rekonstruktion av paleomiljöer. Geologiska institutionen vid Lunds universitet, har efterfrågat metoder för bedömning av kvartshaltenQuartz is one of the most common minerals on Earth and is found in both lose sediment, sedimentary rock and bedrock. The maturity grade of sediments can be determined by the amount of quartz it contains. This is used when interpreting the sediments’ geological history and reconstructing paleoenvironments. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze and develop methods for determining the quartz conte
Det senaste århundradet har cirka 380 vulkaner varit aktiva. Vid vulkanisk aktivitet förs naturliga ämnen upp från jordens inre. Dessa ämnen kan sedan släppas ut i form av bland annat gaser och askor. De ämnen som frigörs kan ha en skadlig effekt på människors hälsa och orsaka både tillfälliga och kroniska åkommor. Partiklarnas farlighet beror bland annat på sammansättning, storleksfördelning, konThe last century approximately 380 volcanoes have been active. Volcanic activity brings up natural ele-ments from deep within the Earth. These elements can then be released into the atmosphere in the form of gases and ash, etc. The released elements may be harmful to humans and cause both temporary and chronic diseases. How hazardous the particles in the emissions are depends, among other things,
Kandidatarbetets syfte har varit att ta fram ett hjälpmedel för studenter på sedimentologikursen vid Geologiska institutionen på Lunds universitet. Hjälpmedlet är tänkt att kunna användas utan lärares hjälp då ett ökat studentantal och försämrad ekonomi på institutionen begränsar lärarnas möjlighet att kunna ge alla studenter den hjälp de behöver för att nå kursmålen.
