The study of culture is specifically relevant to libraries confronting changes. A variety of conditions makes it beneficial for libraries to understand the strengths as well as the weaknesses of the underlying culture. Such an understanding can help libraries in adjusting to changes easier, without losing the cultural values that they hold important to their identity and strategic strengths.Taking this as a starting point the purpose of this essay is to examine and describe what aspects in prevailing library cultures are important to pay attention to when meeting changes. To accomplish this we will explore the concept of library culture, its substance, meaning and expression.Culture is reflected in the artifacts, values and underlying assumptions of formal and informal groups. Culture can be found at various levels.

Quickmatch is a company that recruits students to other companies that need temporary workers. Today all administration is done by hand, which is very time demanding and therefore inefficient. Employees send assignment reports by e-mail about the working hours and breaks to the administration office. Since these reports are handled manually, there is a great need for an automated system that makes the company more scalable.The purpose of this work was to solve the defined problem, i. e.

The Church of Sweden had barely 6.5 million members in 2012. Just over 1% of the members visit a church service regularly every Sunday. The number of visitors in worship services has diminished continuously for a very long time. From 1990 to 2010, the annual number of visitors at the main worship services has decreased by 50% from 9 million to about 4.5 million. The service activities can still be maintained at the current level because the many passive members still pays their membership fee.

Generally in Macedonia keeping farm records and farm business planning is not often practiced like an ordinary activity in farming. Therefore one of the crucial things to do it is to comprise and continuously practice record keeping of farm data. The efficient and justified farm business planning should be based on farm records about the previous work of the farm, which will bring a structured approach for planning all the activities, as well as provide a good basis for attracting investors and creditors for the additional expansion of the business.Given that sheep breeding holds an important part of the livestock production in Macedonia, there is a need for adding analytical sheep enterprise budgets to support the farm business planning process at sheep farms.The aim of this research was to develop sheep enterprise budgets created on the best production practice for Macedonian conditions of breeding and test their applicability into the farm business plan model Agriwise Macedonia. The sheep budgets were composed with a process of data collecting consisted of direct farm data (for the cases), expert's consultation and relevant desk research, as well as a literature study. The aim of doing it was to attain more accurate calculations of the enterprise budgets, which will result in a more precise outcome in the farm business plan model Agriwise Macedonia.

This degree project summarizes five years of education at the landscape architecture program at the Swedish University of Agriculture Sciences, SLU, Alnarp and the School of architecture at Royal Institute of Technology, KTH, Stockholm. The project has been carried out by Lovisa Berg and Per Crona in collaboration with DRIFT Scenkonst. This master project is based on the ongoing transformation of a former mining site in Ställberg, Bergslagen situated in central Sweden. The organization DRIFT is in the process of recreating to former industrial mining site as a green cultural center. Their field of artistic examination concerns existential questions connected to the site. The aim is to offer a place for both performing and experiencing contemporary performing arts in Bergslagen. Our objective is to contribute to the growth of the performing arts project and to demonstrate in concrete terms how a conversion of a mining area can be completed, while taking into account both its history and its new function.

At the centre of this study lies the question if normative gender thinking affects the way poetry gets reviewed and how the reviews are written, this in relation to both the gender of the reviewer and the poet. The study crosses three academic fields; gender studies, poetry and journalism, and is based on the cultural studies theory of media affecting and even creating the world around it.The study is based on two types of analysis. One quantitative analysis based on the thematic criticism theory about detail studies that shows bigger patterns, this analysis focuses on how the poet and his/hers work are being treated in the reviews in areas such as how much space they´re given in the newspapers, how they are named by the reviewer and the tendency to quote the reviewed work.  And one qualitative analysis based on the new criticism method of close reading, that focuses on the reviewers way of writing and how that may be connected with theories of gender differences, this both connected to the gender of the reviewers and the poets.The material chosen for this study are all the reviews that were published in the same newspapers and that reviewed two specific poetry works by two specific poets chosen with great sensibility to age and career so that their difference in gender would be the most significant difference between them. The works were chosen based on year of publishing, they were supposed to be published as newly as possible and as close to each other in time as possible.

I resultaten från en enkätundersökning, utförd av SACO år 2006, framkom att många av de anställda på Migrationsverket var missnöjda med verkets ledning. Migrationsverket har även fått en stor del negativ kritik i media under de senaste åren. Detta har väckt ett intresse för vilka faktorer som kan påverka anställdas förtroende för ledningen inom organisationer och vilken betydelse detta förtroende egentligen har. Syftet med studien var att göra en översikt över, samt en analys av, befintliga förklaringsmodeller för vad som kan ligga till grund för en arbetsgrupps inställning till ledningen inom en organisation. Syftet var vidare att sammanställa och analysera befintliga förklaringsmodeller över vilken betydelse arbetsgruppens inställning till ledningen kan ha för de anställda samt organisationen.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att beskriva och analysera hur kunskapsintensiva tjänsteföretag inom banksektorn kan attrahera nya medarbetare och behålla befintlig personal med hjälp av Employer Branding.Studien baseras på kvalitativ metodik, bestående av djupgående intervjuer med tre svenska storbanker; Handelsbanken, Swedbank och Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken (SEB). För att få en mer specialiserad kunskap om fenomenet Employer Branding har även Academic Communication intervjuats, som är ett marknadsföringsföretag inriktad på denna form av marknadsföring.Ett gediget informationsunderlag gällande den externa och interna målgruppens uppfattning av företagens Employer Brand är centralt för att utarbeta adekvata Employer Branding-strategier. Under arbetets gång är det betydelsefullt att kontinuerligt undersöka om associationerna som företagen vill sammankoppla till dess varumärke som arbetsgivare, förmedlas, och att anpassa strategierna utefter det. Employer Branding genomförs externt främst genom deltagande på mässor och arbetsmarknadsdagar på högskolor och universitet. Det personliga mötet är centralt vilket fordrar att de operationellt ansvariga har kunskap om budskapet som ska kommuniceras. Att prioritera vilka aktiviteter som bedrivs skapar ett tydligare Employer Brand.

The aim of this thesis is to investigate how Bahamas, a magazine belonging to the antideutsche current in German left-wing politics, acted during a two year period between the summer 2001 and 2003. When explaining the anti-deutsche phenomena and the editors? politics it is common to take the currents own history-writing as a fact, thus presenting the development of the current as a reaction to outside factors and impulses outside. In this thesis it is stressed that the editors are far from only passively reacting, rather the opposite is true. I claim that the editors have a fixed ideology that they strive to implant in to certain parts of the radical left.

Title: Silence please: Silent students' thoughts on shyness and nervousness in the classroom. This thesis deals with silent students' thoughts on shyness and nervousness in the classroom. During this study I have been talking to silent students about their experiences of being silent. After a look at the literature on the subject of shyness I have found that there the perspective of the students is lacking. My study deals with three main questions: How do silent students describe their experience of their shyness? How do silent students describe the possible training regarding oral presentation that they may be able to get? And finally, how do silent students describe their possible needs of pedagogical support? In my study I have adopted a qualitative method, which is a method that mainly concerns interpretation of people's thoughts.

Bakgrund: Fysisk aktivitet är en viktig del i ett barns utveckling. I Sverige rekommenderas barn att vara fysiskt aktiva minst 60 minuter om dagen. Barn är fysiskt aktiva bland annat för att det är roligt, göra något de är bra på och att hålla sig i form. Många tidigare studier har dragit slutsatsen på hur viktig skolans roll i påverkan av barns fysiska aktivitet. Många skolor idag är dåligt utvecklade när det gäller hälsofrämjande åtgärder men det finns en stor potential att utvecklas.Syfte: Syftet med studien var att belysa vad skolan har för hälsofrämjande åtgärder under skoltid för att öka den fysiska aktiviteten hos barn i åldrarna 6-12 år.Metod: En systematisk litteraturstudie har genomförts för att samla in aktuell forskning och kunskap för att få en överblick över området.

This study departs from the observation that since the late 1980´s educational programmes for curators have been established and since then expanded greatly. The programmes are part of a process of institutionalization and professionalization of the role of the curator within the international contemporary art field where the role as such has gained much power. Even though many statements have been made about this relatively new phenomenon of curatorial studies, there is a lack of sufficient research. The intention of this study is therefore to examine the educational programmes as such. The selection of 15 programmes has been made with the purpose to include early as well as newly established and to cover a wide geographic area.
