AbstractFörfattaren analyserar i denna uppsats texter om kris, samhälle och säkerhet, vilka producerats och distribueratsmed stöd från Krisberedskapsmyndigheten.Författaren problematiserar att hotet om potentiella, liksom farorna med förverkligade, kriser anses vara så överhängande att en särskild myndighet inrättas med syftet att stärka hela samhällets krisberedskap. Krisberedskapsmyndighetens arbete med samhällets säkerhet betraktas i uppsatsen som en formav riskhantering varmed riskerna med krisen ska lindras eller elimineras. Med ett diskursanalytisktförhållningssätt till texterna och genom att använda governmentality-teorin söker författaren analysera hurmyndigheten beskriver dagens samhälle och dess behov av vissa politiska åtgärder. En avKrisberedskapsmyndighetens centrala uppgifter är att bistå med kunskap och stöd för initierandet av privat-offentlig samverkan. Författaren beskriver och analyserar därför också vad texterna om samverkan mellan detoffentliga och det privata innebär för förebyggande krisberedskap och samhällelig säkerhet.

AbstractI vår studie har vi undersökt vad floristlärare anser om de nationella styrdokument som finns för Hantverksprogrammet. Vi har genom intervjuer med floristlärare funnit att det ses som ett problem att de är skrivna för att passa samtliga hantverksutbildningar. Detta gör att mål och kriterier är mycket generellt formulerade och tolkningsbara. Respondenterna hade gärna sett att det fanns kursmål och betygskriterier särskilt anpassade för floristutbildningen. De flesta floristlärare skriver nu på egen hand om kursmål och betygskriterier för att de bättre ska passa aktuell utbildning.Vi har också undersökt hur floristlärare uppfattar och förklarar de begrepp som är vanligt förekommande i bedömning av binderier på utbildnings-, tävlings- och gesällnivå.

AbstractWhy don't (some) regimes with formal democratic features undergo transition to democracy? Which are the internal dynamics of these regimes that can offer comprehension to this state of affairs? The main purpose of this thesis is to advance the above questions, and, on a lower level of abstraction, examine the case of Egypt. The Egyptian regime is characterized by, for instance, a multiparty-system, steps toward economic liberalization, and some level of persistent state opposition, and has been considered on the way to liberal democracy, but can still hardly be estimated as such.Thus, the thesis takes part in a theoretical framework on democratization, and further analyzes the case of Egypt on grounds of socioeconomic development, political culture, and class configuration. By this contextual approach, the thesis adduces that a low level of modernization, an incomplete democratic political culture, and a bourgeoisie supported by the state are impending significant factors. The thesis additionally remarks on the interconnection of the adopted theories, and discusses a potential need for new theoretical propositionsA secondary aim of the thesis also gives some insights into the concurrence of regime stability and the absence of democracy in, what often could be labelled, authoritarian regimes.

ABSTRACT I denna studie undersöks hur vårdpersonal inom äldreomsorgen ser på och förhåller sig till döden, och om det kan kopplas till uppfattningar om religion. Vidare studeras om det finns några föreställningar kring tiden efter döden, inom denna yrkesdomän, samt om det förekommer några särskilda rutiner och ritualer kring döden på informanternas arbetsplatser.Underlaget för undersökningen är fyra kvalitativa intervjuer, utförda på vårdpersonal, vilka arbetar inom äldreomsorgen i Halmstad kommun. Resultatet bearbetas mot bakgrund av Ariès teori om människans förhållningssätt till döden, Max Webers och Bryan Wilsons sekulariseringsteorier samt mot bakgrund av Bells ritualteori.Resultatet visar att det inom äldreomsorgen finns en dubbel hållning till död och religion. Informanternas syn på döden kan ses stå i förbindelse med deras relation till religion.  Det förekommer även en rad särskilda rutiner och ritualer i anslutning till ett dödsfall, på de arbetsplatser som inkluderas i studien.

Abstract Uppsatsen syftar dels till att undersöka om den feministiska kritik som riktats mot genren chick lit i fråga om genusstereotypa karaktärer har sin motsvarighet i romanerna, och dels till att undersöka med vilken rimlighet någon kan påstå att chick lit-romaner också är utvecklingsromaner. Studier av övergripande och vetenskapliga texter rörande populärkultur samt feminism, ligger till grund för de resonemang som förs och aktualiseras då de ställs i relation till nedslag i primärmaterialet vilket närlästs. Genom närläsning och analys konstateras chick lit med hjälp av Kristin Järvstads avhandling Att utvecklas till kvinna (1996) i vissa fall och avseenden fungera som en populärlitterär variant av utvecklingsromanen. Hjältinnorna i chick lit-romanerna genomgår en kort, inre utveckling, vilken till viss del följer den manliga utvecklingsromanens struktur, trots att den substantiellt anses kvinnlig. Vidare konstateras hjältinnan i chick lit till stor del vara fast i genusstereotypa konstruktioner vilka ur ett feministiskt perspektiv är oacceptabla, samtidigt som feministiska tendenser i form av självförverkligande och kritik av genussystemet står att finna.
