In 2003 the deciding political council in Bromölla municipality requested that an overhaul on the committee and public administration structure should be conducted. In the report Bromölla was characterized as a traditional organization with a low degree of change. This case study will examine why the organization previously has been reluctant to change its structure and why they are willing to do so now. In the pursuit of this objective I conducted document studies, interviews and observations. I have used theories on, institutional change and organizational culture to enlighten this.My findings shows that the traditionalists within the organization has greatly affected this reluctance towards change, in the deciding council 39 % of the representatives are 60 years or older.

Dagens kriser rör sig över hela den globala arenan och spänner över ett brett spektra av eventuella händelser. Klassiska kriser som naturkatastrofer och olyckor är idag inte längre nog, också miljöhot, terrorism och IT bör tas med i beräkningarna. På samma gång hoten förändrats har samhällsstrukturen omstöpts vad gäller krisberedskap. Stora delar av den kritiska infrastruktur som tidigare skötts av offentlig sektor hör idag till den privata sfären.I denna uppsats vill vi ta reda på vilka förutsättningarna är för att uppnå god krisberedskap inom offentliga organisationer. I ljuset av det svenska kriskomplexet och tidigare forskning analyserar vi rapporter från två svenska kriser, diskoteksbranden i Göteborg 1998 samt stormen Gudrun 2005.

Since the war ended in Bosnia and Herzegovina in1995 the country's economic and political crisies has grown dramatically. As in so many other Post-communist states the corruption has become a large problem for the whole society. The ethnic entities in which Bosnia is divided makes it possible for the national parties to operate and rule the same political propaganda that was the result of the war in the first place. However the international forces like the EU and the USA have made this kind of no non-centralised governmentship possible through the Dayton peace agreement, according to many experts this has to change in the constitution by any means possible if Bosnia will have a future. By the thesis of Professor Susan Rose-Ackerman the theoretical analysing tool should be followed for the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

In 2002 George W. Bush held a speech where he classified six nations as being the main threats to American security, one of them being Syria, a state with a secular constitution, no resent offence towards the US, and with an improved diplomatic relationship to the US during the Clinton years.Being an ally to the Soviet Union during the Cold War Syria was forced to redefine its role in the region. Using neorealistc theory one part conlusion is the fact that the new Syrian leader, Bashar al-Hasad, in the early 21th century determined to set higher goals for the Syrian power ambition in the Middle East, threatened to destabilize the region and leave the US and its allies in a caotic situation.In the US, however, the new administration after 11/9 sharpened its tone towards states that did not cooperate in the new ?war on terrorism? or/and were likely to harbour terrorists. Syria was accused of doing both.

Utifrån frågeställningen ?varför försvårar oljeinkomster demokratisering?? görs i föreliggande uppsats en jämförande fallstudie av de två ickedemokratiska länderna Azerbajdzjan och Saudiarabien. Syftet är teoriutvecklandet. Arbetets teoretiska fokus ligger på samverkan mellan faktorer som statistiskt kunnat knytas till oljestater och teorier om hur auktoritära stater agerar för att behålla makten. Dessa analyseras utifrån de övergripande rubrikerna stat, civilsamhälle och globalisering.Studiens viktigaste fynd är att olja står som ett hinder för demokratiutveckling i både Azerbajdzjan och Saudiarabien: i båda länderna använder regimerna inkomster från olja för att stärka sin makt, legitimitet och kontroll över stat och samhälle.

The aim of this thesis is to study how Denmark and the Danish people has been represented in the Swedish press and which images of them that appears. For this purpose I make use of discourse analysis and discourse theory. By analysing three cases were the debate about the Danish migration policy has been scrutinized in Swedish newspapers I seek to discover different ways of looking at the world. The study concentrates on the descriptions made by journalists and others who contribute to the debate in the media. The results show an image of the Danes as a people reluctant to foreigners and restrictive in their politics.

The methods used are observations, surveystudy and qualitative interviews.The theoretical framework of the study is based onAndersson?s and Skot-Hansen?s model of the public librarywith its four different library profiles, together with PierreBourdieu´s lifestyle theory where habitus and the concept ofcultural capital are used to analyze the role of the book busin people?s lives.My conclusion is that the mobile library is very important toits users since reading is an important part of their lives andit gives them easy access to books of several genres. Themobile library also functions as a meeting place in the localcommunity and creates a link between urban and rural areas..

Malmö stads jämställdhetsarbete har, liksom mångfaldsarbetet, pågått under enlång tid. I en stad som Malmö där det finns många olika nationaliteter ärmångfaldsarbetet och integrationsfrågan extra viktig. Intersektionalitet skullekunna vara ett perspektiv som möjligen kunde påskynda och förbättra arbetet förallas jämlika värde. Genom att analysera Malmö stads jämställdhets- ochmångfaldsplaner diskursivt samt att intervjua förvaltnings/personalchefer på olikaförvaltningar inom Malmö stad vill vi undersöka hur arbetet med dessa frågor serut idag och ifall intersektionalitet kan och borde genomsyra arbetet mera. Eftergenomgången kartläggning kan konstateras att normtänkandet är starkt.

When an error occurs in an IT system that is vital for the production of a major industry, the consequences can be great. To quickly identify and correct errors is important as a stop in a system can lead to a break in production, which is costly for the industry. Our task in this thesis has been to develop a system for ÅF that facilitates the debugging process of the system Paperline. The system's target audience is ÅF-call personnel that provides support for Paperline 24 hours a day if something goes wrong. The system consists of a Windows service, a database and a web application and is developed mainly with the techniques C#.NET, MVC 5, Google Charts, Javascript, HTML, CSS, and Entity Framework.

Title: "In the verdict, reality is reconstructed" - a documentary study of how sex is reproduced in verdicts of LVU-cases.The aim in our study is to see how existing circumstances revolving power between the gender, are contained in court, through language and differences in the sentences and expressions that are used in the verdicts. In this study we have reviewed verdicts about young people who are taken in to custody care by Lag (1990:52) med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga.We have reviewed verdicts from the county administrative court in Kalmar, from January in 2007 to October in 2008. Through the analysis we have taken into considerations and worked with earlier research and litterateur containing different theoretical approaches to feminism.The result of the study shows, that despite of a neutral law, girls and boys, women and men are judged and treated different, because of their sex. Depending on your sex, you are expected to behave according to norms and values. These norms and values are not the same for girls and boys.

En central tes i de flesta teorier om det goda samhället är att alla människor skall behandlas lika. All åtskillnad mellan individer måste vara befogad och undantag från regeln att lika fall skall behandlas lika måste vara väl motiverade. Trots detta förekommer det omfattande diskriminering av såväl kvinnor som personer som ingår i etniska minoritetsgrupper. En del av denna diskriminering är strukturell och satt i system. Den kommer till olika uttryck inom olika samhällssfärer så som arbetsmarknaden, bostadsmarknaden eller rättsväsendet.

Denna uppsats syftar till att, ur ett lärandeperspektiv, analysera NPM-litteraturens syn på lärande och organisation. Uppsatsen är en kvalitativ litteraturstudie som ställer lärandeperspektivet i relation till NPM-diskursen. Vi kom fram till att NPM-litteraturens centrala områden, i termer av decentralisering och mål- och resultatstyrning, innehåller goda förutsättningar för lärande. Dessa förutsättningar framställs implicit och behandlas inte uttryckligen. Komplexiteten i NPM-reformerna har inneburit svårigheter att implementera de nya idéerna i organisationerna.
