1 Abstract The thesis analyses and critically appraises within a broad context legal disputes concerning the activity of the ECB during the European debt crisis. The analysis is based on legal norms regulating the European monetary union and the political and economic circumstances of their creation. The thesis consists of seven chapters. The first chapter concerns the history of genesis of the Economic and Monetary Union. The second chapter portrays the institutional status, objectives, tasks and instruments of the ECB. It also depicts the components of ECB independence as its key atribute. The third chapter adds some economic thought and theories connected to monetary unions. The theory of optimum currency areas is introduced as well as the costs and benefits of membership in a monetary union. The fourth chapter contains a brief account of the beginnning of the European debt crisis and the measures taken by Member States and the ECB in response to it, particularly the EFSF and ESM mechanisms of financial stability and non-standard monetary policy measures of the ECB. The fifth, sixth and seventh chapters are dedicated to specific proceedings conducted before the CJEU. These are the Pringle, Gauweiler and Weiss cases in which CJEU confirmed that the actions of Member States and the ECB were in accordance...

Title: Physical Self-perception of musical dancers Objectives: The main aim of the diploma thesis is to find out whether there are any gender differences in the physical self-concept of musical dancers. Methods: The thesis has a character of empirical and theoretical research and includes elements of quantitative research with an application of a survey. Specifically the thesis represents a cross-sectional study. A multidimensional questionnaire, the Physical self-perception profile was administered to a sample of N=40 musical dancers. The questionnaire consists of five subdomains including: sport competence, physical condition, physical attractiveness, physical strength and physical self-esteem. The t-test for two independent groups (men and women) was applied to test the group differences. Results: The results did not reveal any significant gender differences in physical self-concept between male and female musical dancers. Key words: PSPP, Physical Self-perception profile, dance, musical

Syfte och frågeställningar Studiens syfte är att undersöka om de fysiskt kvantifierbara förmågorna snabbhet, spänst, styrka och kondition har betydelse för slutbetyget i ämnet idrott och hälsa i årskurs nio. Följande frågeställningar var centrala för studien: Överensstämmer data från CY-PSPP med de egenformulerade enkätfrågorna? Korrelerar självskattade fysiska förmågor med betyget i idrott och hälsa? Finns det någon skillnad mellan ovan nämnda självskattade fysiska förmågor i hur de korrelerar med betyget i idrott och hälsa?   Metod Studiens data baseras på enkätsvar från 233 gymnasieelever i stockholmsregionen. Enkäten är dels utformad efter CY-PSPP-metoden, dels av egenformulerade frågor. Databehandlingen utfördes i beräkningsprogrammen Excel och SPSS Statistics, där Spearmans rangkorrelation beräknades. CY-PSPP variablerna jämfördes med variabeldata från de egenformulerade frågorna.   Resultat Resultatet av jämförelsen mellan CY-PSPP och EF-frågorna visar på tydlig korrelation. Baserat på elevsvaren var spänst den kvantifierbara förmåga som i högst grad korrelerade med betyget, strax följt av snabbhet och kondition. Styrkeförmågans korrelation gentemot betyget var långt mycket lägre än för de andra värdena.   Slutsats Data från undersökningen pekar på att det finns positiv korrelation mellan alla de fyra förmågorna och betyg i idrott och hälsa. Förankrat i Bourdieus begrepp är det svårt att avgöra i hur stor utsträckning konditionsförmågan i sig kan klassas som ett kapital för höga betyg samtidigt som styrkeförmågan föga verkar vara ett kapital i detta avseende. En del tyder på att snabbhet och spänst i lite högre grad än kondition kan ses som ett kapital för betyget. / Aim The aim of the study is to establish whether the four self-rated quantifiable attributes speed, elasticity, strength and endurance correlate with the acquired grade for physical education in year 9 in the Swedish school. The following questions were predominant: Is the data from the self-formulated questions consistent with data from the CY-PSPP form? Is there a correlation to be found between any or some of the self-rated four attributes and the grade in physical education? Is there any difference between the above-mentioned self-rated physical abilities in how they correlate with the grade in physical education?   Method The data presented in the study is based on answers from surveys from 233 high school students in Stockholm. The survey is constructed partly by the CY-PSPP method and partly from self-formulated questions. Data was processed in excel and the statistical program SPSS, where Spearman-correlations were calculated. The CY-PSPP variables were compared to variable data from self-formulated questions.   Results The result of the comparison between the CY-PSPP form and the self-formulated questions show evident correlation. Based on the student answers, elasticity was the attribute that showed strongest correlation toward the grade, closely followed by speed and endurance. The strength attribute correlated significantly less with the grade than the other attributes.    Conclusions Data from the survey display a positive correlations between all of the attributes and grades in physical education. Anchored in Bourdieu’s terminology, it is hard to decide whether the attribute endurance can be ascribed to be a capital with respect to the grade in physical education, meanwhile, the attribute strength show few signs of being a capital in that sense. Some suggest that speed and elasticity to a wider extent than endurance can be regarded as a capital for high grades.
