Ronald McDonald Hus är en ackommodering som ger familjer med sjuka barn möjlighet att kunna bo och uppleva en hemlik miljö samtidigt som deras barn vårdas på sjukhuset. Syftet med studien var att undersöka om det förelåg något samband mellan vistelsens längd på Ronald McDonald Hus och hur nöjda föräldrarna var avseende den fysiska och psykosociala boendemiljön. Vistelsens längd i denna studie definierades som “mindre än tre nätter” och “mer än tre nätter.” Metoden var en komparativ och kvantitativ enkätstudie. Konsekutivt urval användes för att rekrytera deltagare. I studien deltog 34 föräldrar som bodde på Ronald McDonald Hus under sommaren och hösten 2014. Efter internt bortfall återstod 27 föräldrar varav 14 hade bott mindre än tre nätter och 13 mer än tre nätter. Insamlad data analyserades med hjälp av Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Resultatet visade att samtliga deltagare skattade den fysiska miljön på Ronald McDonald Hus högt. Majoriteten av deltagarna upplevde den psykosociala boendemiljön på Ronald McDonald Hus som positiv. Det förelåg inget signifikant samband mellan vistelsens längd och hur nöjda föräldrarna var med den fysiska och psykosociala boendemiljön på Ronald McDonald Hus. Slutsatsen är att Ronald McDonald Hus är betydelsefullt för familjer med sjuka barn. Detta boende har en positiv påverkan på hela familjens tillvaro. Familjer är i stor utsträckning nöjda med den fysiska boendemiljön på Ronald McDonald Hus. Boendet bidrar till minskad ekonomisk oro för många familjer. / Ronald McDonald House provides accommodation for families with hospitalized children where they can experience a home like environment while their children are getting hospital treatment.

O presente trabalho discute o liberalismo abrangente de Ronald Dworkin, como alternativa ao liberalismo político de John Rawls. Dworkin interpreta o liberalismo como uma teoria contínua entre ética e moralidade, ou seja, sem uma separação entre as doutrinas abrangentes e nossas concepções políticas para justificação dos fundamentos constitucionais, respeitando o pluralismo razoável presente na sociedade democrática. O liberalismo abrangente se apresenta como uma teoria liberal na qual a liberdade, a igualdade e a comunidade fazem parte de um único ideal político. / The present study discusses Ronald Dworkins comprehensive liberalism as an alternative to John Rawlspolitical liberalism. Dworkin construes liberalism as a continuous theory between ethics and morality, that is, without a separation between comprehensive doctrines and our political conceptions so as to justify constitutional grounds, thus respecting the reasonable pluralism existing in democratic society. Comprehensive liberalism presents itself as a liberal theory in which freedom, equality and community merge into a single political ideal.

Ao julgarem casos concretos, os juízes consultam e interpretam diversas fontes do direito com o intuito de determinar quais são os elementos jurídicos de decisão relevantes e como eles se aplicam a um determinado caso, apresentando os argumentos que fundamentam sua convicção e revelando uma respectiva racionalidade jurídica. No presente trabalho, pretendemos enfrentar o seguinte problema: pode o direito ser objetivo no sentido de que exista alguma racionalidade jurídica capaz de fornecer uma única resposta correta a um caso? Frente ao problema mais amplo da existência de respostas objetivamente corretas no direito, a pesquisa lança mão de um recorte autoral para estabelecer seu referencial. O interesse foi o de colaborar com o estudo do pensamento de Ronald Dworkin, o qual sustenta a tese de uma única resposta juridicamente correta. Para tanto, busca-se explorar os argumentos do autor a partir de um levantamento bibliográfico em materiais publicados em meios físicos e digitais. Após apontar alguns dos elementos da teoria positivista do direito de Hart que funcionaram como ponto de crítica inicial da perspectiva dworkiniana, divide-se a tese da resposta correta de Dworkin, que é objeto do trabalho, em duas etapas, tomando o texto Objectivity and truth: you\'d better believe it (1996) como marco de divisão. A primeira dessas etapas nos mostra que a tese da resposta correta no âmbito do direito fundamenta-se na concepção do autor acerca deste ser uma prática essencialmente interpretativa, orientada a identificar os valores que melhor justificam a história institucional e moral de uma comunidade. Logo, a resposta correta do ponto de vista jurídico depende da resposta correta do ponto de vista moral. Na segunda etapa, investiga-se a defesa de Dworkin frente aos diferentes ceticismos externos em relação à objetividade da moral, bem como suas ideias a respeito da independência metafísica do valor e a favor de uma epistemologia moral integrada. Ao final dos capítulos de cada etapa, noções críticas são apresentadas com o intuito de auxiliar na reflexão do pensamento do autor. / When judging concrete cases, judges consult and interpret several sources of law in order to determine what are the relevant legal elements of decision and how they apply to a certain case, presenting the arguments that support their conviction and revealing a respective legal rationality. In the present work, we intend to face the following issue: can the law be objective in the sense that there is a legal rationality capable of providing a single right answer to a particular case? Regarding the wider problem of the existence of objectively right answers in law, the research uses an authorial restriction in order to establish it\'s referential. The interest was to collaborate with the study of Ronald Dworkin\'s thought, which contains the one legal right answer thesis. To do so, we seek to explore the author\'s arguments from a bibliographical survey of published materials in print and digital media. After pointing out some of the elements of Hart\'s positivist theory of law that functioned as an initial point for the criticism of dworkinian\'s perspective, Dworkin\'s right answer thesis, that is its work\'s object, is divided in two phases, taking the text Objectivity and truth: you\'d better believe it (1996) as a division mark. The first of these phases shows us that the right answer thesis in legal scope is based on the author\'s conception about law being an essentially interpretative practice, oriented to identify the values that best justify the institutional and moral community history. Therefore, the right answer from a legal point of view depends on the right answer from the moral point of view. In the second phase, it investigates Dworkin\'s defense of different external skepticisms about moral objectivity, as well as his ideas about the metaphysical independence of the value and in favor of an integrated moral epistemology. At the end of each phase chapters, critical notions are introduced with the purpose of exercising the reflection about the author\'s presented thoughts.

Abstract Background: Families with sick children are expressing the needs of accommodation near the hospital, in order to be close to their children and be together as a family. Aim: To investigate how parents experienced the hospitality and the environment at the Ronald McDonald House (RMH) in Uppsala and how they feel their children have experienced the stay. Method: Descriptive qualitative interview study. Five parents who lived with their family at RMH between 2013- 2014 have been interviewed with a semi-structured approach. A qualitative content analysis with an inductive approach according to Graneheim and Lundman (2003) was conducted on a manifest level. Results: RMH made the families’ situation easier. RMH met their needs of a homelike environment where they could be themselves; be together and maintain everyday routines. Respect and fellowship prevailed in the house. The families’ received support from RMH, both from other families and the staff. The staff was helpful and as fellow human beings and drew attention to all the children. RMH is a place where kids can play and have fun with other children. Staying at RMH made it more fun to go to the hospital. The kids developed when they lived with other families. The sick children were able to share experiences and strategies with children in similar situation. Conclusion: Parents at RMH experienced the environment and the hospitality at RMH as very positive. There's a need to expand the business because of demand exceeding supply. Rooms that relatives can rent for a couple of nights for an affordable sum would be appreciated. / SAMMANFATTNING Bakgrund: Familjer med ett sjukt barn uttrycker behov av boende nära sjukhuset, för att kunna vara nära sitt barn och vara tillsammans hela familjen. Syfte: Att undersöka hur föräldrar upplevde bemötandet och miljön på Ronald McDonald Hus (RMH) i Uppsala och hur de upplevde att deras barn upplevde vistelsen. Metod: Deskriptiv kvalitativ intervjustudie. Fem föräldrar som bott med sin familj på RMH mellan 2013-2014 intervjuades med semistrukturerad metod. En kvalitativ innehållsanalys med induktiv ansats enligt Graneheim och Lundman (2003) utfördes på manifest nivå. Resultat: RMH uppfyllde familjernas behov av en hemlik miljö, där de kunde vara sig själva, vara tillsammans och bibehålla rutiner. RMH var en barnvänlig plats där barnen kunde leka och ha roligt med andra barn. Det blev roligare för barnen att åka till sjukhuset när de bodde på RMH. Respekt och gemenskap rådde på huset. Familjerna fick stöd, både från andra familjer och personalen. Personalen på RMH var hjälpsamma medmänniskor, och uppmärksammade alla barnen. Barnen utvecklades av att bo med andra familjer. De sjuka barnen träffade andra barn i liknande situation och kunde utbyta erfarenheter och strategier. RMH gjorde familjernas situation lättare. Slutsats: Föräldrar på RMH upplevde miljön och bemötande där väldigt positivt. Det är platsbrist på RMH, då många familjer har behov av att bo på denna typ av boende. Det är därför av betydelse att utöka verksamheten. Rum där släktingar kan hyra in sig i någon natt för en överkomlig summa skulle uppskattas.

Using the Aristotelian concept of artistic proof, this thesis analyzes nine televised speeches presented by President Reagan from February 1981 through April 1983. Reagan skillfully utilizes only two modes of rhetorical proof--ethos and pathos. However, his lack of logical proof has not lessened his effectiveness. This study reveals several reasons for Reagan's rhetorical effectiveness and success. For example, Reagan's strong ethical image and personality comfort his audience and encourage their trust. His weaknesses in logical argument are overlooked by his audience because of his high personal appeal. Furthermore, Reagan's use of pathos appeals makes Americans feel good about themselves and their country, helping him to maintain his popularity. Finally, Reagan's skillful use of the television medium has increased his effectiveness.

Det ökade stödet för populistiska rörelser i västvärlden har blivit alltmer påtagligt. Två exempel är Storbritanniens utträde ur EU och Donald Trumps vinst i det amerikanska presidentvalet. I Sverige kan Sverigedemokraterna ses som en framgångsrik populistisk rörelse, då partiet erhållit ett allt starkare väljarstöd sedan grundandet år 1988. I den vetenskapliga litteraturen råder ingen konsensus om orsakerna till Sverigedemokraternas framgångar. Tydliga orsaker kan heller inte hämtas från den internationella forskningsfronten, då inte heller denna kan påvisa en klar linje om vad som förklarar populismens frammarsch i västvärlden. Den erkända statsvetaren Ronald Inglehart har bidragit med en förklaringsmodell och menar att populismens framgångar beror på en cultural backlash gentemot den framväxande dominansen av progressiva värderingar i västvärlden. Utifrån Ingleharts forskning och teori om värderingsförändringar, är syftet med denna uppsats att undersöka om hypotesen om en cultural backlash utgör en relevant förklaringsmodell för individers motiv till att sympatisera med Sverigedemokraterna. Studien utförs genom enkätdata från World Values Survey och SOM-institutet. Resultaten visar att sverigedemokratiska sympatisörer inte står för en cultural backlash i termer av att de sluter upp kring värden som står i motsats till progressiva postmateriella värderingar. Sympatisörerna präglas snarare av en oro över fysisk och ekonomisk otrygghet. Resultaten problematiserar antaganden om att det är sammanhållna reaktioner mot värderingar som driver populismens framgångar.
