How do social media and internet usage look like in the eyes of ageing people, specifically those at the age of 80 years or above that live independently? What technologies are most interesting to them and why? What do they struggle with that could lead them to avoid specific technologies or to prefer one technology more than others? The reason of the study was to get an insight of elderlies attitudes, regarding technologies in general and social media specifically, to know what hinders those seniors to be excluded of the recent technologies and to not be plugged into cyberspace. The specific questions that the research wanted to answer were “What are the actual barriers for internet use among the elderly?” and “Also, what could be done to address these barriers?”. The study was taking place in one retirement house in Skellefteå with 4 women at the desired age group and was carried out using semi-structured interviews mixed with focus groups as the method for data gathering. This research will be assisting an EU funded project aimed to start in the summer of 2017 named PLACE-EE and is planned to be a platform for ageing community engagement. The results showed that more technical and human support were required in a local environment. The elderly simply did not have the drive to personally engage themselves actively in technology to use the internet or social media among other things. One of the suggestions made to solve this would be to integrate the technology into their daily routines where they are socially active, like the community centers that they valued quite a lot.

Les recherches biomédicales se sont imposées comme une nécessité sociale et leur place n’a pas cessé de prendre de l’importance dans le domaine médical. Leur encadrement juridique commence en 1988 avec la loi « Huriet », qui vient de mettre en place un régime de responsabilité civile régissant cette activité.Ce régime renforce la protection des victimes (et de leurs ayants droit) de recherches biomédicales en simplifiant la procédure d’indemnisation. Seul le tribunal de grande instance est compétent pour connaître des litiges en la matière et ce même s’il s’agit d’un promoteur du secteur public qui relève normalement du juge administratif. Le délai de prescription est de dix ans car les dommages ne peuvent pas apparaître immédiatement après la fin de la recherche. La victime et ses ayants droit peuvent demander l’indemnisation des dommages matériels et moraux subis à l’occasion de la réalisation de la recherche. Dans les cas où la responsabilité du promoteur n’est pas engagée, la victime peut toujours demander une indemnisation à l’ONIAM, en déposant une demande auprès de la CRCI. La loi « Huriet » devrait concilier l’intérêt de la société avec ses valeurs fondamentales, et trouver le juste équilibre permettant d’assurer une protection parfaite aux individus se prêtant à ces recherches, sans entraver leur développement. / Biomedical research has emerged as a social necessity. Its importance has continued to grow in the medical field. Its legal framework began in 1988 with the law "Huriet", which established a civil liability governing this activity.Today’s legal system increases the protection of victims (and their dependents) of biomedical research by simplifying the procedures for plaintiffs to receive compensation. Only the High Court has the jurisdiction to hear disputes in this area and even if he is a proponent of the public sector is normally the administrative judge. The limitation period is ten years since the damage may not appear immediately at the end of the research. The victim and his/her dependents are entitled to compensation for material and moral damages incurred in connection with the conduct of research. In cases where the liability of the promoter is not involved, the victim can still claim compensation from the ONIAM by filing an application with the CRCI.The law "Huriet" should reconcile the interests of the society with its core values, and find the right balance to ensure a perfect protection to individuals suitable for this research, without hindering their development. / لقد فرضت الابحاث الطبية الحيوية كضرورة اجتماعية واتخذت أهمية لا يمكن الاستغناء عنها في المجال الطبي. وحيث ان تنفيذها على الكائن البشري أصبح مطردا، فان إحاطتها بقانون متكامل أصبح امرا لا مفر منه، وقد بدأ ذلك الأمر بتشريع قانون عام 1988 والذي اتى بالجديد عندما أحاط تنفيذ الابحاث الطبية على الكائن البشري بنظام مسؤولية مدنية. هذا النظام هدفه تدعيم حماية المشاركين بالبحث من خلال تعويض المتضرر منهم او خلفه العام من خلال تبسيط اجراءات التعويض. فحدد هذا القانون الاختصاص حصريا بالمحكمة البدائية في النظر بالخصومات المتعلقة بتنفيذ الابحاث الطبية على الكائن البشري، حتى لو كان القائم على تنفيذ البحث شخص من القانون العام. والذي من المفترض ان يكون الاختصاص حينها للقاضي الاداري. هذا وقد حدد قانون عام 1988 مدة التقادم بعشرة سنوات من وقت انتهاء تنفيذ البحث، لان الاضرار قد لا تظهر إلا بعد مدة من تنفيذ البحث. فالمتضرر أو خلفه العام يستطيعون المطالبة بالتعويض على الاضرار المادية والادبية التي نجمت عن تنفيذ البحث الطبي. لكن في حالة اثبات عدم وجود خطا من القائم بالبحث الطبي أي انه غير مسؤول عن الاضرار، فان المتضرر يحق له حينها بموجب هذا القانون اللجوء إلى المطالبة بالتعويض من خلال الهيئة الوطنية للتعويض عن الحوادث الطبية. خلاصة القول، إن قانون عام 1988 سعى لايجاد موازنة ما بين الفائدة التي تعود على المجتمع من تنفيذ البحث وبين ضمان حماية المشارك بالبحث بالشكل الذي يكفل حرمة الجسد البشري دون ان يؤدي ذلك إلى وضع العقبات أمام تنفيذ الابحاث الهامة للمجتمع

By shedding light on accounts from unaccompanied Afghan asylum-seeking minors in Sweden who were child soldiers in Syria, this thesis explores and examines their narratives and their involvement in the civil war in Syria. The research aims to create a deeper understanding of how these children themselves made sense of their participation in the war by answering the following questions: How were the children approached by the recruiters? What kind of reasons for joining the war are put forward by the recruiters and what strategies do the children encounter: a) economic; b) identity formation; c) social deprivation; d) feeling of vulnerability; e) militarization; f) mental development; g) ideology/ religious-sectarian; or all together? How do the children perceive these encounters and make sense of their recruitment to the Shiite Fatemiyoun Brigade? To which extent has the ideology of Shi’ism played an important role for them in joining the Syrian War? This is a qualitative study based on in-depth interviews which combines procedures from two approaches and techniques: an ethnographic approach and a narrative approach that explores the interviewees’ experiences in a period of time and also generates detailed insights. Despite the fact that none of the respondents testified for being recruited at gunpoint or having been ill-treated, the respondents emphasized that they were forced to join due to the bad circumstances they were living in. In addition, many similarities with other cases regarding child soldiering in several countries have been explored in this thesis, for instance factors related to the socio- economic context and the experiences that are related to the children’s development processes. Differences can be located in various details regarding ideologies and indoctrination since the respondents did not share the politico-religious purposes of the recruiters.
