This thesis examines a mass-produced broadsheet printed during the Great Plague of London (1664-1666), which unites the textual modes of poetry and medical prescription with imagery and statistical tabulation, titled Londons Lord Have Mercy Upon Us. The central woodcut on the broadsheet presents a view of London as a bounded expansion, and relegates the images of death, particularly registered in the personification of Death, to the outskirts of the city. This visual separation of the city from the plague sick (and the plague dead) is most profoundly registered on the border of the broadsheet, which is adorned with momento mori imagery. The ordered presentation of the plague city is likewise established in the mortality tabulations on the sheet. These tabulations, which were culled from the contemporaneous London Bills of Mortality, make visible the extent of the disease in the city, while simultaneously linking the plague to the poor London suburbs. Of particular interest are the representation of faces on the broadsheet – the face of the dead, the face of Death and the face of the city – and how these images relate to the plague orders imposed on the city population by the Corporation of London. These orders sought medically and legally to contain, and spatially to control, the larger social body of London through enacting a kind of erasure upon the identities of the sick and dead. These erasures registered themselves in material form as a kind of facelessness, a motif found on the figure of Death and in the skull-faces of the dead. This motif visually registers the various anxieties expressed towards the faces of the plague-sick by many contemporaries living in plague-London, an anxiety about those who visibly displayed the signs of their contagion and, more threatening still, about those who were asymptomatic. An increasing understanding of the plague as both visible and controllable in the early modern city of London was continuously being challenged by the conflicting belief that plague was a disease of invisible extension and manifestation. This variance is deeply registered in the ambiguous depiction of the plague-dead in the frame of the sheet.

There’s a growing number of trans-related bills in the US and states are divided amongst themselves with some taking a strong pro-trans stance and others a strong anti-trans stance. This study analyses the arguments of six different political debates on the US state-level. These debates all concern either pro-trans or anti-trans bills. The purpose of this study is to provide an understanding of the trans-debate and its ideological underpinnings. Our study shows that how one views the trans identity is fundamental to the trans debate. The study also shows a clear ideological divide in the arguments used by both sides with many republican arguments aligning with conservatism and conversely many democratic arguments aligning with liberalism. The republican arguments revolve around the themes of parental right, the value of the family and the need to protect children from the dangers of gender affirming care. The democrat's argumentation has its basis in their view of trans people as a persecuted minority with many arguments revolving around the suffering this community endures. They argue that the anti-trans bills are dangerous for trans people as many trans people already suffer from depression and suicidal thoughts. Some democrats go as far as accusing the republicans of having near genocidal intensions for the trans community. The democrats instead argue that trans people should be free to express themself and that they deserve to feel safe, respected and affirmed. Contrary to the republicans the democrats see gender affirming care as a lifesaving solution to trans peoples suffering.

Abstrakt Syftet med denna uppsats var att ta reda på hur GDPR kan påverka Sverige ochorganisationer som är verksamma här. GDPR är den nya stora förordningen som kommerträda i kraft den 25:e maj och alla organisationer är mitt uppe i, eller i slutskedet av arbetetmed anpassningarna. Då det inte tidigare finns mycket forskning eller uppsatser kringämnet kommer denna uppsats fokusera på utmaningarna inom implementeringen medGDPR samt att den kommer försöka besvara hur GDPR kan påverka Sverige. Det utkom 16propositioner på lagändringar som alla på sitt sätt kommer påverka privatpersoner ochorganisationer som befinner sig i Sverige.För att göra det möjligt att besvara dessa frågor kommer denna uppsats delvis utförasgenom en analys av lagtext och propositionerna. Den stora delen i denna rapport handlarom utmaningarna och för att få en bredare bild har fyra olika företag från olika delar avnäringslivet intervjuats. McDonalds, Högskolan i Halmstad, Halmstad Studentkår och DHSolutions har alla bidragit och utgör en stor del av resultatet.För att då gå vidare till resultatet och även slutsatsen har denna uppsats kommit fram tillatt GDPR’s påverkan på Sverige kommer att till en början inte vara positiv, mycketoklarheter finns och många utmaningar. De största utmaningarna som identifierats ärinventering, kommunikation till anställda och partners och till sist fullständig anpassninginom tidsramen. GDPR är en stor omställning och en omfattande lag men uppfattningen äratt i det långa loppet kommer den få en positiv påverkan på Sverige och speciellt föruppgiftslämnare. Det är tydligt att regeringen är redo och tar de steg som krävs för att, medkompletterande lagar, göra övergången. / Abstract The purpose of this paper was to find out how GDPR can affect Sweden and organizations that operate here. GDPR is the new major regulation that will come into force on 25th of May and all organizations are in the process of, or at the final stage of the adjustments. As there is no such research or essay on the subject before, this paper will focus on the challenges of implementation with GDPR and will try to answer how GDPR can affect Sweden. There were 16 government bills of legislative changes that all will affect private individuals and organizations located in Sweden. In order to make it possible to answer these questions, this essay will be partly done through an analysis of the legal texts and the government bills. The major part of this report is about the challenges and in order to get as wide a aspect as possible, four different companies from different parts of the business community have been interviewed. McDonalds, Halmstad University, Halmstad Student Union and DH Solutions have all contributed and form a major part of the result. In order to move on to the result and also to the conclusion, this paper has revealed that the effect GDPR will have on Sweden will initially not be so positive, there are many ambiguities and many challenges. The biggest challenges identified are inventory, communication to employees and partners and finally complete adjustment within the timeframe. GDPR is a major adaptation and extensive law but the perception is that in the long run it will have a positive impact on Sweden and especially for personal record providers. It is clear that the government is ready and takes the necessary steps required to, with complementary laws, make the transition as smooth as possible.
