An issue of inclusionary language use in France has been debated since the 1980’s. Some French actors are in strong opposition to the language policy being changed, others are not. Actors such as linguists-lexicographers, members of the Académie françias, writers and politicians have contributed to the media discussions that are in focus of my research. Applying theoretical perspectives on languag

This thesis examines the nature and purpose of the Greek sciences ἀριθμητική, λογιστική and γεωμετρία in the texts of Plato. The statements of some other ancient authors are also mentioned, and the relevant modern research is consulted. ἀριθμός is at any instance, as Klein has already noted, ‘a definite number of definite objects’. In Plato’s philosophical ἀριθμητική, ἀριθμός seems to always consi

Personality similarity-hypothesis has not been put to the test with longitudinal wave-data before. This study investigates the temporal aspects of personality similarity and its implications for parenting qualities. I aim to explore if an individual's personality similarity with their parents at an earlier time point can predict higher levels of child well-being, attachment style, and relation

This paper analyzes the use of populist rhetoric by armed groups as a means to portray themselves as a political actor, focusing on Viv Ansanm-spokesperson Jimmy “Barbecue” Chérizier’s anti-elite discourse in 2023 and 2024 through a qualitative content analysis. This is achieved through building on existing literature discussing limits of Haitian statehood as well as the historical role of non-sta

Uppsatsen utreder rättsläget i situationer där politiska partier på olika sätt använder musik i sin verksamhet – kampanjer, torgmöten, sociala medier o.s.v. Utifrån den utgångspunkten aktualiseras förutom upphovsrättsliga frågor även konstitutionella dito – rörande yttrandefrihet och dess inskränk-ningar. I 3 § 2 st. upphovsrättslagen föreskrivs att ett verk inte får göras tillgängligt för allmänhThis thesis investigates the legal situation in scenarios where political parties use music in various ways in their activities – campaigns, rallies, social me-dia, etc. From this standpoint, not only copyright issues are of interest but also constitutional matters concerning freedom of expression and its limitat-ions. According to paragraph 3, subsection 2 of the Swedish Copyright Act (Upphovsrät

It also addresses the current legal framework regarding implementing compulsory care when a child or young person is taken into custody. The focus is on the child's participation in investigations based on th

This thesis studies how nationalists and unionists in Northern Ireland handled the insecurity generated by the Brexit referendum. It explores the years between 2016 and 2020 and conducts a theory-driven qualitative thematic analysis based on speeches and texts from political seniors within the Democratic Unionist Party and Sinn Féin. It departs from a macro perspective within social psychology, co

Colombia has received global attention for their innovative response to the Venezuelan migration crisis. However, the question remains; has this response translated into an improved access to contraceptives for Venezuelan women in Colombia? This study aims to explore how migrants and health staff perceive access to contraceptives, how migration status and socioeconomic situation impede this access

Det finns många fördomar och negativa attityder om övervikt i allmänhet och i synnerhet om övervikt i förhållande till arbetsprestation, vilket leder till att överviktiga arbetstagare missgynnas på arbetsmarknaden. Särskilt överviktiga kvinnor missgynnas på ett sätt som inte smala kvinnor eller överviktiga män gör. Det är ett exempel på intersektionell diskriminering, när sammanvävningen av identiThere are many prejudices and negative attitudes about overweight people in general and about overweight people in relation to work performance in particular, which has led to overweight workers being disadvantaged in the labor market. Especially overweight women are disadvantaged in ways that thin women and overweight men are not. This is an example of intersectional discrimination, when the inte

This thesis analyzed the portrayal of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system in South Korea by “The Korea Times” and the “Global Times," focusing on its political, economic, and cultural implications. Using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) within Fairclough's three-dimensional framework, it examined how these newspapers depict THAAD and its broader impacts. The research f

China’s impressive socioeconomic development amid its modernization over the past decades has not been paralleled with political liberalization as modernization theory assumed. State-led development gave rise to a more-educated middle class, and yet previous studies have controversies over whether the middle class can be a harbinger of the country’s democratization. There has been a research gap c

Despite previous studies extensively focusing on the domestic aspects of the Thai radical and left-wing movement, Thai left-wing publications, and its cultural politics, little is known about the comparative and transnational perspectives. This thesis examines the Thai Leftist Movement and its articulations from the 1970s to the early 1980s in Thailand and Europe, demonstrating how translation pla

After seeing the developments in both Hungary and Poland democracy seemed to be weakening in Europe. How resilient is the democracy of Denmark and Sweden? Two countries who year after year rank high on different democracy indexes. The strength of a democracy is found in its constitution. To measure the protection of democratic institu-tions in the constitutions of Denmark and Sweden, I created an

Neutrality and military non-alignment have been crucial aspects of Swedish foreign and security policy since the end of the Second World War. The purpose of this research is to examine the shifts in roles in connection to the debates surrounding EU and Nato memberships, focusing specifically on the conceptions of neutrality and military non-alignment. With the use of role theory, the role concepti

We study the Gauss map and derive certain statistical properties, specifically upper bounds on the decay of correlations. The method is due to Liverani \cite{Main_Liverani}, which in turn is based on foundational work by Birkhoff \cite{LatticeTheory}. One defines a cone of functions, and then considers the induced Hilbert metric associated to the cone. A strict contraction in this metric gives exp

En man lider av en allvarlig psykisk störning och är intagen på lag (1991:1128) om psykiatrisk tvångsvård (LPT). Han har drabbats av en somatisk sjukdom som visserligen inte är livshotande och akut för tillfället men skulle kunna bli allvarlig. Läkaren vill vidta en medicinsk åtgärd för att utreda och kunna ta ställning till behandling men patienten motsätter sig vården. I 2 kap. 6 § regeringsformA man suffers from a serious mental disorder and is admitted according to Compulsory Psychiatric Care Act (LPT). He is also suffering from a somatic illness which, although not life-threatening or acute now, could become seri-ous. The doctor wants to take a medical measure to investigate the disease to decide on treatment but the patient refuses. Chapter 2, section 6 Instrument of Government (RF)
