In this article, ther concept "happiness" is discussed from two angles: subjective aspect and econometrical aspect. After looking back upon Richard. A. Easterlin and Tommy Bengtsson,s brilliant work, I try to use both short-term stress analyses method and subjective explanation to find out the reason of such question: Why Tianjin people feel happier than Beijing and Shanghai which both m

Migration Board is responsible for the asylum seeker's asylum trial. Migration Board is the authority that classifies housing for asylum seekers. We speak of two types of accommodation. One type is the ABO, which is holding housing arranged by th
At first glance Austria and Sweden seem to be two very comparable European coun-tries. However, in regard of several innovation indexes Sweden scores significantly bet-ter. This thesis elaborates why Sweden achieves continuously better results than Austria and seeks for Swedish innovation advice for the state in the Alps. However, a compari-son of innovation indicators and a comparative case study
Uppsatsen är en studie av porträttet Sonja som målades 1928 av Christian Schad. I uppsatsen görs först en grundlig beskrivning av verket och sedan följer en kort redogörelse av hur situationen kan ha sett ut för en modern kvinna som bodde i Berlin under 1920-talet, detta för att samhället under denna tid genomgick stora förändringar. Målet med uppsatsen är att undersöka konstverket i förhållande t
Human trafficking is the world’s third largest organized crime after the illegal trade in arms and drugs. It is a growing problem in our increasingly globalized world and people are daily transported between countries to be exploited for different purposes. Not even Sweden is spared from this cynical business, although we may not hear much about it. The aim of this study was to investigate how Swe
The war crimes committed between 1992 and 1995 in Bosnia-Herzegovina have mainly been under the jurisdiction of the legal systems set up by the international community. To solve the atrocities of the past, institutions like the ICTY and the WCC were set up. But to this day there is estimated to be thousands of direct perpetrators still walking free in and around Bosnia-Herzegovina. The purpose of
During the last couple of years social-workers and academics have been discussing the lack of validation and professionalism in different areas of social work. The purpose of this study was to find out what social-workers in different fields of work feel about this ongoing discussion. And also how they feel about the lack of validation in their field of work and the lack of profession status socia
This paper discuses the concept of freedom via a theoretical literary analysis. By starting in footsteps of Isaiah Berlin and his definition of negative and positive freedom this paper demonstrates that there is a problem in this conception of freedom and offers a alternative model of analysis. These problems both internal and external to Berlins theory are clarified and analyzed. By recognizing t
Denna uppsats undersöker Ryssland som ett fall av regional hegemoni. Ryssland kan betraktas som en regional hegemon i de post-sovjetiska länderna i Europa, Kaukasus och Centralasien. Teorin om regional hegemoni hävdar att stormakter har ett behov av att maktmaximera och hålla borta konkurrenter om inflytandet i sina intresseområden. Analysen visar att Ryssland tillämpar en sådan strategi på de tr
Freedom of speech was hotly debated at a high school in Karlskrona regarding Richard Jomshof, a social studies teacher and an active member of the Sweden Democrats. Due to his party affiliation, his students protested against him. Jomshof argued that he was exposed to an occupational prohibition while the students who protested argued that his views were xenophobic. This thesis aims to examine, de
Common pool-resources, or CPR’s which they often are referred to, are natural or man made resource systems such as fish stocks or irrigation systems. The size of these resources make exclusion of potential beneficiaries hard and they are also characterized by a high level of rivalry since extraction by one individual negatively affects others possiblity of appropriation. Due to these characteristi
The aim of this study is to develop a better understanding of the challenges and possibilities of sovereignty from an institutionalist view. By studying an area of uncertain status in institutionalist theories on sovereingty, I hope to clarify whether the conventional content of sovereignty is still intact. The foreign policy of the European Union has a unique status as containing elements of poli
Climate change is regarded as one of our times greatest environmental, social and economic challenges, the cross-boundry effects and global implications makes it an issue high on the EU agenda. When the EU in 2008 implemented a climate reduction target of 20% in greenhouse gas emissions for its Member States the ambitions were clearly altered from the Kyoto Protocol taking place only a decade prio
Den här uppsatsen syftar till att med hjälp av gestaltningsteori studera hur Sametingsvalen 2005 och 2009 skildrats och gestaltats i Västerbottens-Kuriren och Dagens Nyheter för att se om det finns någon skillnad i medial bevakning och gestaltning som kan förklara ett sjunkande valdeltagande i Sametingsvalen. Studien genomförs med hjälp av textanalys som klassificerar ett antal artiklar enligt ges
Taiwan is in many ways an excellent example of how an authoritarian country can overcome much of the associated difficulties of successfully transitioning into a healthy and well-functioning democracy. In spite of this undisputed fact, Taiwan can only be characterized as a diplomatic orphan, an outcast, shunned by the international community because of events dating back to before World War II and
De senaste 100 åren har den globala medeltemperaturen ökat i genomsnitt 0,74 grader, vilket medför stora effekter för såväl människor som djur och natur. En av de största konsekvenserna till den globala uppvärmningen är att den stigande havsnivån blir allt mer påtaglig världen över. Glaciärer och inlandsisar har börjat smälta allt mer, där avsmältningen medför en global ökning i havsnivån. HavsnivThe rising sea level is becoming more evident around the world as less as well as more developed countries are starting to fully comprehend the consequenses. It is also generally accepted that the sea level rise is accelerated by human-induced global warming. Glaciers and ice sheets are melting more and more, which together with temperature induced thermal expansion of the seas which leads to a gl
Democratization has taken place in several countries in Africa, but a democratic consolidation is far more difficult to reach. Thus, this thesis aims to see why some countries develop democratic consolidation and why some experience difficulties achieving it. The framework presents an analysis based on Linz and Stepans theory consisting of five categories and implementing this on two quite similar
I takt med att befolkningen i Sverige har ökat har även behovet av mat blivit större. För att producera mer mat har jordbruket intensifierats och användandet av gödsel och bekämpningsmedel har ökat. Förutom de positiva effekterna med högre skördar har detta även skapat miljöproblem. Ett av dessa är övergödning, som på sommaren orsakar den algblomning man kan se i sjöar och hav. Ett annat problem äThe Swedish agriculture has become more intense and large-scale by the use of artificial fertilizers and chemical pesticides. While the intensification has contributed to an increased harvest, it has also brought with it several environmental problems. This thesis brings up two of the main problems: eutrophication and the loss of biodiversity. These problem areas are also addressed by the Swedish
Hur många gånger har du tagit på dig en svart tröja och sedan upptäckt hur varmt det blir när solen tittar fram? Med hjälp av den erfarenheten är det säkert tydligt att mörka material värms upp mer av solens strålar än ljusa material. Man säger att mörka material ”tar till sig”, eller absorberar, en större andel av den strålning som solen sänder ut i form av ljus. Det som inte absorberas kan istälHuman population on Earth is increasing and is projected to continue increasing for many years to come. Most of the increase will probably occur in cities and the extent of urban areas will increase with it. As cities grow larger and new cities are built, the many and diverse climatic effects of urbanization will become more evident. A specific climatic effect of urbanization which has not receive
Besökarna kring Ivösjön har på senare år märkt av en förändring av vegetationen kring och i Ivösjön och därigenom en förändring av strandlinjens utformning. Sjön tycks allt mer växa igen av vass och flytbladsväxter, vilket tyder på en eutrofieringsprocess. I den här rapporten jämförs flygbilder från olika tidpunkter under en 70-års period fram till och med idag för att se om sjön verkligen har vuxThe visitors around Ivösjön have recently discovered observed a change in the vegetation around and into the lake and consequently a change in the formation of the shoreline. The lake appears to have been increasingly filled up by reed and floating leaf plants which points to an eutrophication process. In this report aerial photographs are compared from a period of 70 years up until today to disco
