Den här uppsatsen behandlar frågan om det ondas problem, inom teologiska och religionsvetenskapliga kretsar mer känt som Teodicéproblemet. Till skillnad från liknande uppsatser som rör det ondas problem kommer den här uppsatsen inte att behandla frågan gällande Guds existens, ej heller kommer uppsatsen att behandla huruvida det ondas problem är ett bra argument mot Guds existens. Här kommer istäThis paper will address the issue of:” Why God allows evil”, also known as theodicy. Unlike similar essays concerning this question, this paper will not address the question in relation to the existence of a God, nor shall it address whether the problem of evil is a good argument against this existence. This paper will focus upon the function of evil with a focus on Judeo-Christian contexts. The

In this essay I attempt to bring clarity to the discourse production within Zlatan Ibrahimović and David Lagerkrantz biography: Zlatan Ibrahimović: min historia (I Am Zlatan: My Story On and Off the Field). The biography describes the history of the football player Zlatan Ibrahimović, his background in the suburban area of Rosengård in Sweden, and his relationship towards football to mention a few

I mellersta ordovicium var inflödet av kosmiskt material till jorden högre än idag, i sviter-na efter uppbrytningen av den L-kondritiska asteroidkroppen i asteroidbältet mellan Mars och Jupiter, vilket beri-kade den forna havsbottnen med meteoriter och kosmiskt damm.

The Komstad Limestone Formation in Killeröd, Scania, contains an interval exception-ally rich in L chondritic chromite grains indicating a very high degree of co

Uppsatsen har som syfte att undersöka domare i svenska domstolar, professorer och andra statsanställdas anställningsskydd. Alla tre yrkesgrupper var tidigare anställda med fullmakt, vilket innebar att de i princip var oavsättliga. Domare har kvar den formen av anställning men statsanställda och professorer har förlorat möjligheten till fullmaktsanställnig och jag vill veta varför det är så. Genom The essay's purpose is to investigate the employment security of court judges, professors at the universities and other government officials. All three of these professions used to be employed by power of attorney by the government, which meant that they were more or less irremovable. Judges are still employed in this way, but government officials and professors have lost the right of employme

FATTIGSVERIGE SKUGGA is a study of public discourse on class differences, poverty and social exclusion in Sweden during different time periods, in relation to the socio-economic context and its changes over time. Main object of the study are Ludvig Nordströms ”Lort-Sverige” (1938), Göran Skyttes ”De rika och deras skatter” (1979) and Kristian Lundbergs, ”Det här är inte mitt land” (2014). In orde

När systemet med skilda förfaranden vid grövre skatteöverträdelser (skattebrott) och enklare skatteöverträdelse (skattetillägg) infördes i Sverige, gjordes detta för att minska belastningen på polis- och åklagarmyndigheter. Genom att låta Skatteverket ta hand om de enklare överträdelserna och ålägga enskilda personer schabloniserade sanktioner minskade också trycket på de allmänna domstolarna. UppWhen the system of distinct procedures at coarser tax offenses and simpler tax violation was introduced in Sweden, this was done to reduce the burden on the police and prosecuting authorities. By allowing the Tax Agency to take care of the simpler violations and impose individuals supervisory sanctions, it also reduced the pressure on the public courts. The division by the two different procedures

All around us there is data that could be gathered and processed. The problem is to gather it. Bluetooth Low Energy is a standard that promises cheap battery driven wireless sensors with low energy consumption capable of operating for months on small batteries. For many use cases such a device seem like a perfect fit. Bluetooth LE has been around for a few years and is now available in most new s

Climate change and the associated temperature increments are a reality, with temperature already rising in the last century. With a changing climate dissolved oxygen levels in the water will also suffer changes. The combination of changes due to alterations in the climate affects fish stocks, through alterations in the spawning-stock biomass. One of the fish stocks that are being affected is the A

The issue of an increasing number of people globally that are adopting unsustainable lifestyles is important because we are destroying the earth’s resources at an accelerating rate. In particular, the pattern of major increasing environmental impact caused by modern food production has the potential to become an important sector for climate change mitigation, but despite the myriad of guides avai

Finding your identity is an on-going process influenced by a lot of factors. The process of finding your identity is in constant motion and totally depending on the norms of society, parental values, and the impact the school and friends has over you. We aim to study the process of identity for youths born in Sweden with parents born in a foreign country, how they experiencing their identity and h

ECDS, Environment Climate Data Sweden, is a commitment that SMHI rendered the Science Council of Sweden. Their purpose is to assist with search, documentation and publication of data regarding environment and climate. ECDS oer services for data stored in their database. One such service that very useful is THREDDS, Thematic Realtilme Enviromental Distributed Data Service, which is a tool to make s

Neural electrodes used for measurements of action potentials in brain cells are often made of gold. These electrodes need to be suciently small to cover only one brain cell, but this induces the problem of increased impedance since impedance scales inversely with surface area. This means that if the surface area is too small, only noise will be measured. One way to overcome this problem is to try

Uppsatsen undersöker den rättsliga innebörden av begreppet ”direktupphandlingar av samma slag”. I det nationella regelverket, som inte omfattas av Europeiska unionens upphandlingsdirektiv, återfinns möjligheten för en upphandlande myndighet eller enhet att under fasta beloppsgränser direktupphandla utan föregående annonsering. I 15 kap. 3 a § lagen (2007:1091) om offentlig upphandling (LOU) respekThis thesis examines the legal meaning of the concept “direct procurements of the same type”. There is an opportunity within the national legislation, which is not included in the European union procurement directives, for contracting authorities or entities to make a direct procurement (an informal procedure) under the national thresholds without prior publication of a contract notice.

Skydd på grund av en inre väpnad konflikt är en del av det gemensamma europeiska asylsystem som varit under utveckling sedan 1980-talet. De EU-rättsliga bestämmelser som idag reglerar sådant skydd återfinns i Skyddsgrundsdirektivets artiklar rörande alternativt skyddsbehövande. Skyddsgrundsdirektivets bestämmelser om skydd på grund av inre väpnad konflikt införlivades i svensk rätt genom lagändrinProtection from internal armed conflict is an integral part of the Common European Asylum System, as it has developed since the 1980s. The common European provisions governing such protection are found in the EU Qualification Directive, where they form part of what is labelled subsidiary protection. These provisions have been transposed into Swedish legislation by way of amendments to the Aliens A
