Ever since the birth of the film medium, the Sámi people, indigenous to Fennoscandia, have been depicted on film. These early films are ethnographic, made from an outsider perspective, depicting the Sámi as exotic and simple. However, in the 1970s, the Sámi became more involved in the filmmaking process, and in 1987, the first Sámi film, Pathfinder, was made. This shift to Sámi self-representation

Likabehandling av män och kvinnor på arbetsmarknaden utgör en central aspekt för att uppnå jämställdhet i samhället. En grupp arbetstagare som identifierats som särskilt utsatta är förvärvsarbetande föräldrar. Familje-bildning innebär en ingripande livsomställning som ibland kan vara svår att förena med arbetslivet. Därmed uppfattas inte sällan graviditet, vård av sjukt barn och föräldraledighet sEqual treatment for men and women in the labour market is a key aspect of gender equality. Labour law plays a crucial role in providing protection for workers against disadvantageous treatment and discrimination. A group that falls particularly vulnerable towards this sort of unfair treatment are working parents. For many, starting a family is a pivotal moment and one that naturally requires immen

Offentlig upphandling regleras på EU-nivå genom bl.a. direktiv 2014/24/EU. Direktivet öppnade upp för medlemsstaterna att beakta miljöhänsyn vid offentlig upphandling i större utsträckning. I linje med detta fastslog EU-domstolen i målet Tim att det finns en hållbarhetsprincip i artikel 18.2 i direktivet, och att denna princip är likställd med de traditionella upphandlingsrättsliga principerna i aPublic procurement is regulated at EU level by e.g. Directive 2014/24/EU. The Directive enabled Member States to consider the environment to a greater extent in public procurement. In line with this, the Court of Justice of the EU established, in the case Tim, that there is a principle of sustainability in Article 18(2) of the Directive, and this principle is equivalent to the traditional procurem

This study examines how national healthcare initiatives focused on person-centered care are put into practice within Sweden's healthcare system. It analyses how these national policies are represented and implemented in accreditation documents across six Swedish regions—Skåne, Västra Götaland, Jönköping, Halland, Kronoberg, and Östergötland. The research uses qualitative document analysis to e

Abstract: This thesis is an attempt to evaluate the pre-Christian and Christian and cult-place continuity question. This is done by investigating intervisibility between Christian Churches and pre-Christian grave monuments within the province of Halland, Sweden. This analysis was done via large statistical GIS databases of which viewshed analysis was applied to, which in turn was then interpreted

För skapa ett transporteffektivt samhälle kommer kollektivtrafiken att spela en allt större roll i framtidens transportsystem. Om kollektivtrafiken utgör ett reellt alternativ till bilen kan den bidra till både sänkta utsläpp av växthusgaser och marknära partiklar och bidra till en mer effektiv användning av stadens yta. Speciellt i större städer ställs allt högre krav på en effektiv markanvändninIn order to create a more transport efficient society public transport has to play an even bigger role in the future transportation system. If public transport constitutes a realistic alternative to the car it can contribute to both the decrease of greenhouse gases and particles harmful for health, as well as contributing to a more efficient use of city spaces. Especially in larger cities ever hig

The purpose of the study is to investigate how newspaper articles present the agency of young people placed in SIS in text and what this may mean for the perceptions that are created about young people who are in community care. The analysis is conducted as a critical discourse analysis that analyzes articles in the newspaper Aftonbladet, where the theory and method are inspired by the linguist No

Sedan 2001 har EU-domstolen vid upprepade tillfällen framhållit att var och en som har lidit skada som orsakats av en överträdelse av EU:s konkurrensregler ska kunna kräva full ersättning för denna skada. Det har dock visat sig svårt för personer och företag som drabbats av en konkurrensskada att utnyttja denna EU-rättsliga rätt till ersättning. I syfte att främja skadeståndsprocesser baserade på Since 2001 the CJEU has repeatedly stated that, as a matter of EU law, any individual must be able to obtain compensation for harm suffered because of an infringement of EU competition law. As of today, victims of infringements of EU competition law are unable to effectively exercise that EU right. By introducing a Proposal for Directive, the Commission has taken a major step forward in promoting

The indoor climate conditions in buildings have changed in the last decade due to more efficient climatic systems, floor heating systems and larger open floor areas with more natural light. These factors all give increased annual variations in the humidity and the temperature in parquet floors. Such variations can result in troublesome deformations, glue line delamination and development of cracks

Svenska kommuner innehar i dag stora mänger geografisk information, information som är nödvändig för att sköta kommunen. Förr i tiden var all geografisk information i pappersformat, sedan digitalerades den och fördes in i datorn. Detta examensarbete har fokuserat på hur man kan ta nästa steg, från datorn till mobiltelefonen. Dagens tekniska framsteg på den mobila marknaden har gett oss en helt ny Swedish municipalities today hold large amounts of geographical information, information that is necessary to manage the municipality. In the past all geographical information was stored in paper format, but it has now been digitalized and stored in computers. This thesis has focused on how to take the next step, from the computer to the mobile phone. Today's technological advances in the mobi

Historiskt sett har människor byggt sina hus med de material som den omgivande naturen gav. Både vass och lera är två sådana material som förekommer naturligt. Det som bl.a. skiljer dessa material åt är de processer som krävs för att de ska kunna användas som taktäckningsmaterial. Vassen skördas och torkas medan leran bearbetas och bränns för att slutligen bli en användbar produkt. I tidigare svenHistorically, people built their houses with the materials that the surrounding nature gave. Reeds and clay are two such materials occurring naturally. A difference between these materials is the processes required for them to be used as roofing material. Reed is harvested and then dried while the clay is processed and fired to finally become the useful product. In earlier Swedish history roofs we

Popular Abstract in Swedish Cancer i tjock- och ändtarmen är idag den tredje vanligaste formen av till döden ledande cancer i världen. Den är vanligast i de högindustrialise-rade delarna av världen: Europa, Nord-Amerika och Australien. Prognosen för den enskilde patienten är helt beroende på cancerns utbredning vid diagnostillfället. Cancerns utbredning bedöms idag enligt olika indelningsprincipeAim of the study Today´s methods for the staging of rectal carcinoma: ultrasonography with transrectal probe, CT, MRI or MRI with a rectal coil, all have limitations. The aim was therefore to develop a new, double-contrast MRI method for evaluation of rectal carcinoma. The idea was that a rectally applied contrast medium causing distension and signal void of the rectal lumen and an intravenous inj

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hur tillgängligt är EU för asylsökande? Står Unionens rättsregler i strid med folkrätten? Om så är fallet, hur löser vi konflikten dem emellan?

MHow are access to asylum and other forms of extraterritorial protection regulated in the European Union? Is the EU acquis in these areas in conformity with international law? What tools does international law offer to solve conflicts between them? And, finally, is law capable of bridging the foundational oppositions embedded in migration and asylum issues? This work combines the potential of legal

While female labour market participation is increasing worldwide, the development in Chile is slow and concentrated to the capital city of Santiago de Chile. Education has been found to increase female labour market participation in several studies, where my thesis contributes to the research with more careful analysis of the effects of higher education.

Den 18 mars 2016 publicerade Europeiska Rådet en överenskommelse på sin hemsida. Den blev känd som ’EU-Turkiet-avtalet’ och gick ut på att asylsökande skickas tillbaka från de grekiska öarna till Turkiet. I utbyte får Turkiet bl a ekonomisk kompensation och ökade chanser till visafrihet och EU-medlemskap.

In the general public, the agreement was criticized for s

Innan 1994 fanns ingen lagstadgad rätt till personlig assistans. Efter den s.k. Handikapputredningen år 1989 kom ett lagförslag som utmynnade i Lag (1993:387) om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade (LSS). Enligt denna lag skulle de funktionshindrade som hade krävande och omfattande hjälpbehov ha rätt till en personlig assistent. Försäkringskassan blev beslutsmyndighet för att avgöra huruBefore 1994 there was no legal right to a personal assistant in Sweden. After the so-called Handikapputredningen in year 1989, Lag (1993) om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade (LSS) was instituted.* According to this law, the disabled people who had exigent and extensive needs would have right to a personal assistant.
