<p>The purpose of this paper was to describe how a phenomenon is constructed into being a social problem, by studying articles on honour killing in the Swedish daily press and in the technical journal Socionomen. The main questions were: can different discourses on honour killing be identified, and if so, have they changed over time, and are there differences between the discourses identified in the daily press and in Socionomen? The method used was a qualitative analysis of discourse influenced by Faircloughs Critical Discourse Analysis. The main conclusion was that honour killing has been textually constructed as a social problem in the studied media. There was one main discourse which clearly pointed out groups as bearers and victims of the social problem. This discourse has provided causality to society by indicating culture, religion and ethnicity as the reasons for the honour killing. Adding to this, our interpretation is that there was only a slight difference between how the social problem had been textually constructed in the Swedish daily press and in Socionomen, and that honour killing has been textually constructed as a social problem almost without contribution from social workers.</p>

Rebel attacks on civilians constitute one of the gravest threats to human security in contemporary armed conflicts. But why do rebel groups kill civilians? The dissertation approaches this question from a strategic perspective, trying to understand when and why rebel groups are likely to target civilians as a conflict strategy. It combines quantitative studies using global data on rebel group violence with a case study of the civil war in Mozambique. The overall argument is that rebel groups target civilians as a way of improving their bargaining position in the war relative to the government. The dissertation consists of an introduction, which situates the study in a wider context, and four papers that all deal with different aspects of the overall research question. Paper I introduces new data on one-sided violence against civilians, presenting trends over time and comparing types of actors and conflicts. Paper II argues that democratic governments are particularly vulnerable to rebel attacks on civilians, since they are dependent on the population. Corroborating this claim, statistical evidence shows that rebels indeed kill more civilians when fighting a democratic government. Paper III argues that rebels target civilians more when losing on the battlefield, as a method of raising the costs for the government to continue fighting. A statistical analysis employing monthly data on battle outcomes and rebel violence, supports this argument. Paper IV takes a closer look at the case of Mozambique, arguing that the rebel group Renamo used large-scale violence in areas dominated by government constituents as a means for hurting the government. Taken together, these findings suggest that violence against civilians should be understood as a strategy, rather than a consequence, of war.

À la suite d'attaques terroristes massives est apparue une motivation féroce qui risque d'être manipulée pour justifier des excès de force. Voulant prévenir des attaques armées contre leurs intérêts, certains États ont adopté des politiques de « tuerie ciblée » pour éliminer de façon permanente des terroristes en sol étranger qui menacent leur sécurité. II est pourtant illégal de tuer des individus en l'absence de conflits armes sans égard au droit à la vie. La présente recherche tient à déterminer si, en vertu du droit international, des États peuvent neutraliser par force des individus dangereux ou bien venir au secours d' otages en sol etranger. En étudiant l'article 51 de la Charte des Nations Unies, un certain nombre de conclusions sont apparues, notamment que des opérations pour « arrêter ou neutraliser » ne peuvent avoir lieu que dans des États qui supportent des terroristes ou qui restent indifférents face à leur présence, et que I'expression « guerre contre Ie terrorisme » ne peut permettre des «tueries ciblées » sans avoir à considérer les droits à la vie et à la légitime défense. Puisque toute division entre les membres de la communauté internationale peut venir limiter la prévention d'attaques, le fait que la coopération entre les États ayant abolis la peine de mort et ceux ayant recours aux « tueries ciblées » puissent en souffiir fait l'objet de cet ouvrage. Ladite recherche conclue que l'utilisation de « tueries ciblées » en dehors du contexte de conflits armés ne peut être permis qu'en dernière mesure lorsque réellement nécessaire pour prévenir des attaques armées et protéger la vie. / From the ashes of devastating acts of terrorism has arIsen a resolve so powerful that measures of counterterrorism risk being manipulated by states to justify excess. In an attempt to prevent armed attacks against their interests, a number of states have adopted policies of targeted killing to permanently incapacitate terrorists on foreign soil. The intentional killing of suspected offenders, however, cannot be lawfully carried-out by states in the absence of armed conflict without regard for the right to life. The following research attempts to determine whether it is permissible for nations to use force on foreign soil to . incapacitate dangerous individuals or rescue hostages under international law. By studying article 51 selfdefense of the United Nations charter, a number of conclusions are asserted, namely that operations to "arrest or neutralise" can only be carried-out in states that support terrorists or are complacent to their presence, and that declaring "war on terrorism" cannot allow governments to kill suspected terrorists in countries where there is no war, except in a manner that is reconcilable with the rights to life and selfdefense. Since division among members of the international community may ultimately diminish their ability to collectively suppress international terrorism, the potential for hindered cooperation between abolitionist states and those that carry-out targeted killings is also addressed. The current research concludes that targeted killings can only be justified outside the context of armed conflict when they are truly necessary as a last resort to prevent armed attacks and save lives. / "Mémoire présenté à la faculté des études supérieures en vue de l'obtention du grade de Maîtrise en droit (LL.M.)".

The dissertation has set the aim to determine the influence of a high-temperature environment on highly resistant to thermal killing. Not all weeds equally respond to the thermal effect when wet water vapour is applied for thermal weed control. After thermal destruction of the above-ground part some varieties of weeds spring up again. Analysis of the morphological structure of weeds and their responsiveness to wet water vapour allows weed classification into three groups: weeds of low resistance to thermal killing, those of high resistance to thermal killing (meadow-grass and rosette weeds) and of very high resistance to thermal killing. If the thermal control of these weeds is carried out too late, weeds overgrow cultivated plants, which results in harvest losses. In order to improve the technology of thermal weed control it was necessary evaluate the parameters of a high-temperature environment, the morphological structure of weeds highly resistant to thermal killing, stages of weed growth and development, the influence of air inter-layers in weed leaves on the spread of a high-temperature field to deeper tissues, and the influence of the angle of tilt of weed leaves on thermal control. This paper analyses the influence of the aforementioned factors on the control of weeds highly resistant to thermal destruction and proposes measures for the formation of a high-temperature environment intended for a more efficient thermal control of weeds using wet water vapour. / Darbo tikslas – nustatyti aukštatemperatūrės aplinkos poveikį sunkiai termiškai sunaikinamoms piktžolėms.

Rättsutvecklingen går ständigt framåt och reglerna om fåmansföretag har ändrats successivt under åren. Innebörden av begreppet samma eller likartad verksamhet framgår inte tydligt av lagtexten eller förarbetena. Tolkningen av 57 kap. 4§ IL har därmed blivit föremål för prövning i ett flertal rättsfall av domstolen. Den 16 november 2012 fastställde HFD ett antal förhandsbesked från SRN. Innebörden av begreppet samma eller likartad verksamhet har utvidgats av HFD till att omfatta mer än vad som framgår av lagtextens ordalydelse. HFD har fastställt att överföring av verksamhet kan ske genom kapital och därmed kan två fåmansföretag som bedriver olika typer av verksamheter anses bedriva samma eller likartad verksamhet på grund av att kapital har förts över mellan fåmansföretagen. HFD har även fastställt att när ägaren är verksam i betydande omfattning i ett annat fåmansföretag än det han äger krävs det att ett ägarsamband föreligger mellan dessa fåmansföretag för att de ska anses bedriva samma eller likartad verksamhet. Ägarens andelar är kvalificerade under fem beskattningsår efter försäljningen av ett fåmansföretag och därmed blir det en övergångsperiod där reglerna om fåmansföretag fortfarande tillämpas. Frågan huruvida en tilläggsköpeskilling påverkar karenstiden har inte explicit prövats av HFD. När tilläggsköpeskillingen är hänförlig till den tidigare ägarens arbetsinsats som anställd efter försäljningen anser författarna att det implicit framgår av HFD:s avgöranden att karenstiden börjar löpa efter att köpeskillingen utgår och inte efter att en tilläggsköpeskilling utgår. Om tilläggsköpeskillingen istället utgår till kapitalförvaltningsföretaget och inte är hänförlig till den tidigare ägarens lön för arbetet efter försäljningen i företaget börjar karenstiden löpa efter att den sista tilläggsköpeskillingen har utgått. / The rules of close companies have continuously been developed and the rules have been changed successively over the years. The meaning of the concept “the same or similar ac- tivity” is not clearly expressed in the legislative text or the legislative history. The interpretation of 57 chapter 4§ Income Tax Act has therefore been the object of proceedings in several cases by the court. On the 16th of November 2012, the Supreme Administrative Court (SAC) settled a num- ber of rulings from the Swedish Tax Board (Skatterättsnämnden). The meaning of the concept “the same or similar activity” has been extended by the SAC to include more than what can be read from the legislative text. The SAC has settled that the transfer of activity can be made through capital and therefore two close companies engaging in different types of activities can be determined as engaging same or similar activities because capital has been transferred between the close companies. The SAC has also settled that when the owner is engaged in “significant quantities” in another close company, which he does not own, then it is required that an ownership relationship exists between these two close companies for them to be determined as engaging same or similar activity. The owner's shares are qualified for five tax years after the sale of a close company and therefore there will be a transition period where the rules for close companies still applies. The question whether an additional payment affects the qualifying period has not been explicitly tried by the SAC. When the additional payment is due to the previous owner's work performance as an employee after the sale, the authors claim that it can be implied from the SAC's rulings, that the qualifying period starts after the purchase price is paid and not after the additional payment is paid. However if the additional payment is paid to the asset management company and is not related to the previous owner’s salary after the sale of the company the qualifying period starts after the last additional payment has been paid.

This diploma thesis deals with the theory of Francisco de Vitoria and his concept of suicide. The first part focuses on the life of the thinker himself and other historical contexts that have influenced his work. In the second part the sources and the basics of his legal theory are solved, taking special account of its rationalistic interpretation. The last part is more practical and focuses on the issue of justifying self-killing in the light of Vitoria's work.

At first, the study has as reference the Educacional Center Aldaci Barbosa Mota, the universe in which I met these characters from 2007 to 2008.The teenagers lacked of private freedom in the Boarding School. However, in 2009 they were already displaced. The thesis is inspired in the identity vision proposed by the cultural studies. This vision is formulated by Stuart Hall. The Hall thought is based on the mobile cultural identity. This author emphasizes the fragment, contradictory and dynamic identity form. In this analysis I also consider the contribution of not continuos trajectory and dynamic identity formulated by Bourdieu and Stuart Hall. I circunscribe my identity comprehension of the processes in which teenagers are envolved in the killing atcs, considering the open analysis in construction of two autors referred early. It is considered the variety of their growing processes, from the pregnancy and including all their long historical trajectory. These categories helped to describe the methodology option. I constructed the snapshots of the teenagers who are the main characters of this history. In this case, I was inspired by Bernard Lahire who defends the idea of the construction of the “singular case studies”. This idea refuses the vision of the simple ilustration of the theorerical contexts but his analisys emphazies a methodological approach which considers how the subjetcs interpret their ways of living and experiences. In fact, this study is based on the contributions of Pierre Bourdieu, Stuart Hall, and the reinforcing of Bernard Lahire. In the qualitative analysis I join several ways of investigation. I considered the universe observation of the first place, the boarding school, I realized interviews, Photo session of the marks of bullets, machetes and tattoos designed on the bodies of young people, I visited young homes and possible meeting places of the characters, after they have left the previous institution. This way, the study investigates the construction of their representations, especially of mother, family, friends, district, sociability of the groups which they belong, the practice of killing, the relations drugs x crime, the dreams, the future perspectives, and so on. / As negociações e processos identitários vivenciados por meninas envolvidas na prática de homicídio é o eixo central da presente tese. O estudo tem, inicialmente, como referência empírica, o Centro Educacional Aldaci Barbosa Mota, lócus onde se deu o encontro com as personagens desse estudo, no período de 2007, 2008 – com as adolescentes dentro do internato, sentenciadas à privação de liberdade – e em 2009 – quando a maioria das adolescentes já estava fora do internato. As inspirações analíticas da tese têm nos “Estudos Culturais” um Campo de referência ao tomar a visão de “identidade em movimento”, formulada por Stuart Hall, como categoria fundante, sublinhando o caráter contraditório, móvel e temporário das identidades. Outros aportes se coadunam neste amálgama analítico, numa convergência categorial entre “identidades”, “trajetórias” e “juventudes”. Nesta convergência, as categorias – “trajetória descontínua” e “identidade em movimento” – formuladas por Pierre Bourdieu e Stuart Hall, circunscrevem o entendimento sobre os processos identitários de jovens envolvidas no “ato de matar” como uma construção em aberto, sinalizando, no âmbito da lógica analítica dos autores, para um olhar ampliado dos processos de vida em gestação, “fazendo-se” e “tornando-se” ao longo das rotas vivenciadas pelas personagens. De fato, esta articulação categorial propiciou instrumentos analíticos para delinear um caminho teórico-metodológico, consubstanciado pelo esforço de construir seis “retratos sociológicos” das meninas, protagonistas desse estudo. A metodologia usada para a construção dos retratos guiou-se pela compreensão de Bernard Lahire, ao sustentar a ideia de que “retratar significa construir estudos de casos singulares”, refutando a tendência de percebê-los como simples ilustrações de contextos teóricos, mas como procedimentos metodológicos, capazes de apresentar esquemas interpretativos sobre a vida e as vivências dos sujeitos investigados. De fato, Lahire forneceu um caminho metodológico para materializar as indicações teóricas de Pierre Bourdieu e Stuart Hall. Nessa análise qualitativa, conjugam-se diferentes vias investigativas: observação do Internato como primeiro lócus da investigação, realização de entrevistas, sessão fotográfica das marcas de tiros, facadas e tatuagens desenhadas nos corpos das jovens, visitas às residências e lugares de possível encontro com as personagens desse estudo após seus desligamentos do Internato. Desse modo, a investigação delineou representações construídas pelas jovens acerca dos cenários nos quais inscrevem suas rotas: a família – focando na representação da figura da mãe –, a escola, os amigos, as vivências no bairro, a sociabilidade nas “tribos” e grupos aos quais pertencem, o envolvimento na prática de homicídio, a relação “droga x crime”, as perspectivas de futuro e sonhos.

This Master Thesis investigates how the Swedish Newspapers Expressen and DN are using sources and expertise in their portrayal of honour related violence. Which sources are they using, and in which way are these sources being used? 40 articles written between January 1 2017 – March 31 2018 have been chosen for a qualitative analysis step one. In the second step 10 articles have been chosen for a deeper analysis. In the third step three journalists have been interviewed about the articles they have been written in the subject honour-related violence. The method frame analysis have been used. The results of the qualitative analysis shows for example that it is many of the articles that have a strong dramaturgy, and that the use of emotive words are different in various type of articles. The study also shows that the use of sources and expertise are different in DN than in Expressen, and that the use of sources and expertis are remarkable different from other kinds of articles in journalism. / I denna magisteruppsats undersöks på vilket sätt de två svenska dags- och kvällstidningarna DN ochExpressen skriver om hedersrelaterat våld, vilka källor de använder sig av och på vilket sätt dessa källor används. 40 artiklar skrivna mellan 1 januari 2017 – 31 mars 2018 har valts ut för det första steget i studien. I det andra steget görs en djupare kvalitativ analys av 10 artiklar. I det sista steget genomförs intervjuer med tre journalister på de utvalda tidningarna som skrivit flera artiklar om hedersrelaterat våld. Analyserna har genomförts med hjälp av metoden gestaltningsanalys (framing). Studien visar bland annat att användningen av källor och expertis skiljer sig åt mellan tidningarna, att många artiklar lätt kan placeras i en dramaturgisk modell, och att förekomsten av värdeladdade ord har olika betydelse beroende på vilken typ av artikel som skrivs. Studien visar även att källor och expertis i skildrandet av hedersrelaterat våld, på många sätt skiljer sig markant från andra ämnen inom journalistiken.
