Magister Public Health - MPH / Breastfeeding id important for the health and well-being of infants. WHO recommends globally, exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months and thereafter, adequate and safe complementary foods to be introduced and baby to be breastfed for up to 2 years of age or beyond. Exclusive breastfeeding in Namibia is very low, at 26%. The study was designed to assess the group perception and view to appropriate breastfeeding patterns, explore the cultural beliefs of men on breastfeeding, attitudes of men towards breastfeeding and roles and actions of men that support or hnder breastfeeding. / South Africa

Hardcore music is intrinsically anarchistic. The hardcore music scene represents a radical departure from contemporary society. Rejecting the materialism, militarism, and hedonism of the mainstream music scene—and, by extension, modern culture—hardcore music presents an alternative lifestyle rooted in solidarity, equality, and liberty. Indeed, the culture of the hardcore scene approaches a transitive, nomadic model of an anarchistic commune built on resistance as a way of life. In this study, I identified the ways music and lyrics craft attitudes and environments for revolt and rebellion, cultivating critical thinking and disobedience in equal measures. In order to understand the hardcore community, I conducted interviews, studied political theory, analyzed the lyrics of hardcore bands, and synthesized the data to draw connections between major thematic elements of this community. I've found that hardcore music has created a countercultural ethos that subverts and defies political apathy and instigates direct action in order to revolutionize the political process and erect spaces of anarchic solidarity.

Detta examensarbetes primära tanke är att bidra till kunskapsmassa inom fastighetsaffärer. Eftersom denna affär för de allra flesta är den största och kanske viktigaste investeringen man gör rent ekonomiskt under sitt liv, är det av en betydande vikt att ha en god kunskap kring ämnet. Mer specifikt kommer arbetet att handla om friskrivningsklausuler, dess påverkan på köpet och fastighetsmäklarens syn på det juridiska verktyget. För att ta reda på detta har separata intervjuer gjorts med aktiva fastighetsmäklare. Uppsatsen är en kombination av en kvalitativ studie och en rättsdogmatisk då man inte kommer ifrån att fastighetsaffären, och likaså fastighetsmäklarens profession, är strängt reglerad av juridiken. Uppsatsen består av en teoridel där det redogörs för det rättsliga läget medan empirin tar upp intervjuerna. Studien tyder på att det finns en skillnad i hur starkt det rättsliga skyddet är när man väljer att använda sig av en friskrivningsklausul alternativt en dolda-felförsäkring. Studien indikerar även att de intervjuade fastighetsmäklarnas inarbetade sätt är att hellre peka mot dolda-fel försäkringar  snarare än att utnyttja friskrivningen, med reservation för när det är frågan om dödsbo. / The main aim of this Bachelor thesis is to increase the knowledge in real estate business. Since this investment is, for most people, likely the largest and the most important one they make in a lifetime, it is of great value to have a good understanding of the subject. The thesis will go into and focus extra on disclaimer clauses, their impact on the purchase and the real estate agents perspective on this legal tool. To find out about this, separate interviews have been conducted with   active real estate agents. The work is a combination of a qualitative study and jurisprudence as you can´t ignore that both the real estate transaction and the real estate agent's profession are strictly regulated by the law. This means that the empirical part will include the analyzed interviews, while the theoretical part will consist of the legal framework. The study indicates that there is a difference in the strength of legal protection when choosing to use a disclaimer clause versus a hidden-defect insurance. The study also indicates that additionally, it is observed that interviewed real estate agents are inclined to point towards the insurance  option rather than utilizing disclaimers, with a specific exception which is the deceased's estate.

Development assistance has been important in providing sustained socio-economic progress in a developing country. Overall, it has decreased consumption poverty, contributed to a rapid expansion of modern sectors (industry), enhanced government spending, and increased aggregate investment. However, not all countries and aid organizations follow the same development guidelines but compose different development strategies. In this research, I will make an analytical comparison between China's development strategy, which is mainly directed at achieving societal development, and Sweden's development strategy which is more focused on the rights of the individual. This research will analyze the development strategies of the two aforementioned countries in Ethiopia, as both countries have a longstanding relationship of providing development assistance there. Furthermore, the Ethiopian government has been showing signs of developmental authoritarianism, which is concurrent with China's development strategy and national political system. Nevertheless, various conflicts and human rights violations suggest the need for policies more focused on individual rights, as Sweden presented. I will analyze the current situation in Ethiopia through the theoretical concept "negative-positive peace framework". Additionally, this research will analyze if and how the donor countries are benefiting from the development assistance, and how the development strategies affect global actors outside of Ethiopia.
