Den här uppsatsen undersöker hysteri genom verk skrivna utav tre svenska läkare vid namn Seved Ribbing, Olof Hallin och Viktor Wigert under perioden 1875-1930. Frågor som står till grund för undersökningen är hur dessa läkare beskriver hysteri, dess orsak, sjukdomens botemedel, hur kvinnosyn kommer fram genom sjukdomen samt hur läkarna skiljer sig gentemot varandra. En stor inspirationskälla för undersökningen har varit Karin Johannissons Den mörka kontinenten: kvinnan, medicinen och fin-de-siécle (1995) då den tar upp kvinnosynen under 1800-talet och fram till mitten utav 1900. Boken behandlar också kvinnans sociala ställning, de så kallade kvinnosjukdomarna (exempelvis hysteri, galenskap, anorexi) och de ideal som existerade under denna period. Den mörka kontinenten kommer också att fungera som forskningsläge, vilket jag har valt att utgå ifrån i undersökningen.

This study investigates the state of the public debate in Swedish mainstream media on the right to asylum. The study combines Bacchi's WPR(What’s the problem represented to be)-analysis with Hallin’s sphere theory to compare the discourse on the right to asylum in editorials in three Swedish newspapers, with different political profiles, in the five months leading up to the elections in 2018 and 2022, respectively. The results of the study show no clear difference between the two years, but, in both years, a clear difference between the conservative moderate newspaper SvD and the liberal newspaper DN, where indications show the right to asylum in Hallin’s sphere of consensus in DN and in Hallin’s sphere of legitimate controversy in SvD. Also in Aftonbladet are indications of the right to asylum being in Hallin's sphere of consensus, though conclusions are harder to draw, due to the scarcity of the material.

The Master thesis Slovenian media system in comparison with Hallin's and Mancini's models tries to analyze the media system in Slovenia in order to conclude whether it can be classified into one of the models defined in the book Comparing media systems: three models of media and politics. The theoretical part deals with analysis of three models (polarized pluralist, democratic corporatist, liberal) and their main features. The second section then analyzes the various segments of the Slovenian media (print media, radio, television) and other aspects essential for comparative analysis, such as professionalism, regulation, media ownership and political parallelism. The paper seeks a critical evaluation of all these aspects and their inclusion in the broader context of media and all- society environment. Emphasis has been placed on the characteristics and trends typical of the Slovenian media system, in particular the consequences associated with "wild privatization" of the media and the subsequent interconnection of the world media and politics. Comparative part is based on the effort to determine whether these characteristics Slovenian media system fully belong to any of the presented models, or to what extent can similarities be regarded as significant.
