This study is a qualitative analysis of ideas and ideological content, which main focus is the Indian legislation on rape offenses which was adapted after a brutal rape case in Dehli 2012. The purpose of the study is to analyze how Indian news sites portray the motives behind the new death penalty legislation. The analysis intention is to see if there´s a possibility that the arguments can be categorized within a theoretical framework such as utilitarianism, retributivism or feminism. The material used in the analysis is recently published, high-profile news articles from Indian media. The result signifies that the Indian government's argument for the death penalty legislation is justified primarily through justice and revenge for the victim, as well as the purpose of deterrence, which can be compared to the retributive setting. The majority of the arguments were also problematized from a feministic perspective, with the explanation that execution isn´t the solution to the country's patriarchal structure and gender-based violence and oppression. One factor that has an impact on the study is the limited freedom of the press in India where authorities have censored certain material on the internet, which affects the reliability of the study material. In conclusion the analyzed material uses the same sorts of argument that reflects upon feminist rationales, but this result also indicates that the unified result may have an explanation for the limited press freedom, the country's corruption and the censorship of the authorities.

The purpose of the study is to shed light on the potential conceptual transformation within the discourse on psychedelia in Sweden, and how that transformation affects the ideas surrounding the substances and its ideological discourse. These changes could hypothetically build a new cultural construction of the view on psychedelia in Sweden. The study is of hermeneutic qualitative nature. I use idea and ideology analysis with elements of conceptual history. Further the study uses the constructions of thoughts: judgments of reality, judgments of value and precepts of action to evaluate and to illustrate the perspectives in the field. The study examines a culturally conditioned problem in the form of depression of which the potential solution in itself is a cultural taboo both spread and created by an ideological hegemonic idea, but this hegemonic idea is now potentially challenged by new medical research findings.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur kunskapsstyrning kommer till uttryck i läroplanen utifrån ett evidensbaserat perspektiv och vad för form av möjligt lärande som styrningen främjar. I uppsatsen används kunskapsstyrning mot evidensbaserad praktik som teori och idealtyp för att undersöka läroplanens styrning av kunskap och vad det främjar för möjligt och eftersträvat lärande. Analysen av hur kunskapsstyrning kommer till uttryck i läroplanstexten bygger på ett tvärvetenskapligt teoretiskt perspektiv på evidens. Dels så som det kommer till uttryck som ett begrepp och dels som ett fenomen för en ”systematik” i lärande. Metoden utgörs av innehållsanalys och idé- och ideologianalys av läroplanstexten. Resultaten visar att läroplanen skulle kunna beskrivas som kunskapsstyrning utan ett tydligt fokus på lärande. Det är kunskapen som sådan som står i fokus. Läroplanen är idémässigt uppbyggd för att beskrivande styra in mottagaren på giltig kunskap. Det är en kunskap som utgår från ett korrekt vetande, men som inte anges i läroplanen, samtidigt som kunskaperna ska användas i ett utförandets logik. Läroplanstexten separerar också begreppet kunskap från begreppet lärande. Sammantaget får detta konsekvenser för vad som kan uppfattas som möjligt lärande och eftersträvad kunskap. Lärandet som främjas i läroplanen knyts till individen som en fråga om förmåga. Individen får ansvar att som mottagare av läroplanstexten uttolka, bilda begrepp och söka vad som är korrekt vetande. Detta sökande måste ske med en viss systematik i fråga om metod, samt med följden att lärande i läroplanen får karaktären av formelkunskap. Läroplanen styr ansvaret mot mottagaren för att samspela i detta lärande, som innebär att söka giltig kunskap. Uppsatsen avslutas med en diskussion om vad läroplanens kunskapsstyrning kan ha för konsekvenser för möjligt och eftersträvat lärande i skolan.

This study is about the two largest and longest existing parties in Sweden, The Social Democrats, and The Moderate Party. These two parties have two different classical ideologies as their foundation which are socialism and conservatism. The question is then, have these political parties deviated from their classical ideological background? Moreover, if the parties’ positions are compared with the new scale GAL-TAN, are they more similar or dissimilar compared to when comparing the ideologies? The essay will present an explanation on what the new scale GAL-TAN is and then discuss the scale compared to the ideologies. The conclusion is that when the two parties are compared with their ideology, The Moderate Party has deviated the most from conservatism. The Social Party still follows socialism but with a modern adaptation. However, The Moderate Party has more in common with socialism than the Socialist Party has with conservatism. Moreover, the two parties’ position on the GAL-TAN-scale is very close but, The Moderate Party’s position is stronger because they focus more on individualism.

The Swedish Police Authority aims to increase diversity among employees within the authority. This is asserted in the Swedish Police Authority's own policies and action plans, which together with other internal documents are the subject of my qualitative study. The focus of this study is to look at how the use of the concept of diversity has changed within the Swedish Police Authority by using qualitative analysis of ideas and ideological context, the perspective of discursive psychology and neo-institutional theory. The aim is also to find out what is missing out in the current diversity discourse. My study reveals through an examination of a selection of The Swedish Police Authority’s document that there is a discrepancy between the external discourses on diversity and the internal norms that are to be found within the Swedish Police Authority.
