This thesis examines queerness in the poetry of John Donne by re-examining same-gender desire in his poetry, proposing metaphysical poetry as having points of similarity with queering strategies and queer theory, and exploring contextual and historical tensions within and around Donne’s body of works. The thesis closely analyses poems which have previously been discussed as queer, such as “Sapho t
In this essay, I use discourse theory on three versions of the Swedish abortion law: the current law from 2016, the law from 1974 and a bill from an abortion committee added in 1965. I also do a thematic content analysis on a parliamentary bill from 1974 discussing the need for and the purpose of a more permissive law. The history of the Swedish abortion law is diverse. In 1938, the law stated tha
Syftet med denna framställning är att, mot bakgrund av att arvsrätt existerar inom äktenskap, undersöka om sambors avsaknad av arvsrätt är motiverad samt att diskutera sambors efterlevandeskydd de lege ferenda. För att uppnå syftet undersöks efterlevandeskyddet för sambor respektive makar, hur efterlevandeskyddet för sambor kan stärkas, hur sambors avsaknad av arvsrätt är motiverad och till sist hThe purpose of this thesis is to investigate whether or not it is justifiable that cohabiting partners don’t inherit from each other, given that married couples do. Furthermore, I am going to discuss cohabiting partners’ provision for surviving lex ferenda. Towards this purpose I will look into current survivorship legislation that affects cohabiting partners as well as married couples, how it can

Anlitandet av underleverantörer för genomförande av kontrakt utgör ett vanligt inslag även i offentliga upphandlingar. Därmed innehåller upphandlingslagstiftningen bestämmelser som berör underleverantörer. I april 2016 träder ett nytt upphandlingsdirektiv (2014/24/EU) i kraft. En del av förändringarna i direktivet syftar till att möjliggöra för upphandlande myndigheter att ställa miljö- och socialThe fact that contractors use subcontractors when performing a contract is a common element in public procurements. Due to this the legislation regarding public procurement also includes provisions concerning subcontractors. In April 2016 a new public procurement directive (2014/24/EU) enters into force and it empathizes the importance of environmental and social considerations in public contracts
Denna uppsats fokuserar på offentliga upphandlingar och behandlar begreppet onormalt låga anbud. Dessa anbudens låga nivå kan vara grundade i dolda motiv eller missförstånd från anbudsgivaren. Detta medför att den upphandlande myndigheten kan vilja förkasta det aktuella anbudet. Den låga nivån kan däremot lika gärna vara helt legitimt och bör därmed inte förkastas. Regelverket samt praxis på områdThis thesis focuses on public procurements and deals with the concept of abnormally low tenders. The low levels in a tender can be founded in a hidden agenda or in a misunderstanding by the tenderer. This means that the contracting authority may wish to reject the current offer. The low level, on the other hand, can just as easily be completely legitimate and should therefore not be discouraged. T

The object of study is the regional municipality of Scania, Region Skåne, and its elected officials' possibilities for accountability from the privatized primary care section of the regi
Det finns väldigt många ideella föreningar vars verksamheter skiljer sig åt markant. Eftersom det inte finns någon speciallag rörande dessa, är rättstillämpningen rörande många frågor väldig rättsosäker. Som en naturlig följd härav, har domstolarna åtskiljt och kategoriserat de ideella föreningarna. Vid denna uppdelning har idrottsföreningar jämställts med sällskapsföreningar och åtskiljts från faThere are many non-profit associations, whose activity differ considerably. Since there is no applicable law for these associations, the adjudication process implies legal uncertainty in many cases. Therefore, the courts have seperated and categorized the non-profit associations. The sports associations and organizations for recreational activities have been qonsidered equal, and the sport associa
In this essay, I have investigated if there has been any change in the welfare regime that hangs together with the help that companies and organizations offer pupils in doing their homework. Primarily, I have been using Esping-Andersen´s classification of three different welfare regimes to understand how shifts and developments can occur within different welfare areas. Through interviews with orga
På sexualbrottslagstiftningens område har det i Sverige under en längre tid pågått en intensiv debatt. Diskussionen rör frågan huruvida det i svensk rätt bör införas en våldtäktsbestämmelse där straffansvar grundas på ett bristande samtycke, istället för den nuvarande bestämmelsen som baseras på medel (tvång) och omständigheter (utnyttjande). Denna fråga utgör även den huvudsakliga frågeställningeIn Sweden there's an ongoing debate on the sexual offences law area. The discussion relates to whether the Swedish rape law should be a legislation where criminal liability is based on a lack of consent, rather than on coercion and exploitation, which is the current rule. This issue is also the main research question in this essay. After describing the debate and the arguments raised for and a
This thesis analyzes, from a media framing perspective, the American main stream media's framing of the Goldstone Report. Media have played a significant roll in influencing both the public and policymakers, particularly when it comes to foreign issues where the media often is the primary source of information. The effect media has on U.S. foreign policy is a known fact, though to which extent
This thesis is a study of two antagonistic characters: Circe from the Gemma Doyle trilogy by Libba Bray, and Warner from the dystopia about Juliette Ferrars by Tahereh Mafi. The two characters represent something new in young adult literature, since they, although they are both viewed as the villains of their stories, also have become very popular and loved by their readers. In this thesis I study
Sammanfattning De senaste åren har Sverige fått kritik från flera internationella organ angående situationen för frihetsberövade barn och i synnerhet de restriktioner som majoriteten av dem har, vilket ofta medför isolering. Häktade barn befinner sig mitt i inledande rättsprocess samtidigt som de befinner sig i denna isolering. Detta påverkar naturligtvis deras deltagande i rättsprocessen. FN:s koSummary Over the past few years, several international bodies has criticised Sweden regarding the situation children in custody face, with special concern about the restrictions, including isolation, that the majority of the children have to endure. While in this isolation, children in custody are in an early stage of their judicial process. The UN's Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC)

The purpose of this thesis is to analyse how the Swedish newspapers' use of party-preference polls has changed over time. I study 246 articles published by Göteborgs-Posten, Dagens Nyheter, Aftonbladet and Expressen, and compare the time-period 1994-1996 with 2010-2012. Amongst other things, I look at the news-papers' reporting of basic statistical information in their polls, as well as th
