In Sweden today it is problematic to talk about the woman's sex. Many women are embarrassed over their sex, nor do they have particularly strong knowledge of their sex or its functions. Language difficulties also contribute to problems for Swedish women when they come in contact with a professional who works with the female sex. In our study we have researched which denomination is most commonly used for the female sex and also how the public sees the word ?fitta?.

Denna studie syftar till att ge en bild av varför konsumenter väljer att engagera sig i interaktionen genom företags kanaler på sociala medier. Det empiriska underlaget insamlades genom en kvantitativ studie i form av en enkätundersökning samt en kompletterande textanalys av inlägg skrivna på Twitter. Studien undersökte fyra bakomliggande processer till engagemang. Dessa engagemangsprocesser är socialisering, samvärdeskapande, lärande och word-of-mouth. Undersökningarna visar att socialisering och word-of-mouth är de största bakomliggande processerna till konsumenters engagemang i jämförelse med lärande och samvärdeskapande.

Phenylbutazone has been discussed in the world of the equestrian sport several times and different countries have diverse opinions on its use in competitions. The progressive list that permits phenylbutazone with plasma levels up to 8 µg/ml was presented at the FEI General Assembly in November 2009. The list was voted to be accepted, but later several countries realized the consequences and after protests the list was rejected and is going to be discussed again at the FEI General Assembly 2010. In this literature study I have studied the relationship between the concentrations of phenylbutazone in plasma and the effects on lameness. The purpose was to establish whether the limit of 8 µg/ml phenylbutazone in plasma affects the equestrian sport.

This study departs in a critique issued against the ethics of deconstruction that it does not provide good enough advice for how to turn its ehtics into "real life"-actions. Taking up the concept of moral practices as found in e.g. Alisdain MacIntyre, Stanley Hauerwas, James K.A. Smith, and Roland Spjuth, this study turns to medieval theologian Thomas Aquinas as a potential resource. Combining the teachings in Aquinas' Summa Thologica with a look into his life as a Domninican, a list of moral practices is put forth and analyzed in conjunction with Derrida's ethics.

Denna kandidatuppsats handlar om modebloggar och deras påverkan på konsumenters agerande. I dagens konsumtionssamhälle står mode högt i kurs och bloggläsare tar dagligen in information om nya produkter och varumärken genom word of mouth. En undersökning som Mahir PR har gjort visar att 58 procent av bloggläsarna faktiskt har köpt en identisk vara som de tidigare sett i en modeblogg. Vårt syfte är således att från Mahir PRs undersökning vidare beskriva på vilket sätt modebloggar påverkar konsumenters agerande. Vi har använt oss av teori kring word of mouth, samt Solomons kommunikationsmodell där massmedias information filtreras av olika opinionsledare eller grindvakter innan de når mottagarna/konsumenterna.

Today's consumers are demanding more and more from companies and are no longer as easy to im-press as they used to be. It is now the consumers that hold an increasing amount of power over com-panies and not the other way around. This change in consumer behaviour has caused an identity crisis for traditional advertising, and companies are now searching for new ways of reaching their target audience. The purpose of this combined qualitative and quantitative case study is to examine possible risks and possibilities that a retailing company face when communicating through Facebook. Data has been collected through in-depth interviews with company representatives combined with a quantitative study of the company's Facebook followers in order to answer the questions of (1) which possibilities and risks a retailing company face through the use of a Facebook fanpage and (2) if there is a differ-ence in the attitude and behaviour of active respectively passive followers that may have been caused by a retailing company's marketing communication on Facebook.

A crisis is something that can happen to all of us in an unexpected situation, and the school should be prepared in a way that is the best way to handle a situation with a wide foundation through a crisis plan. On a well-defined way, you should have a developed and relevant emergency plan. Defining the word crisis can be difficult, it is an individual interpretation, and to get found out what the word stands for and it have to be discussed. The two selected schools that I have chosen to interview have discussed the understanding of the word crisis in able to get what the word means for them. The two selected schools have come to the conclusion that a crisis is something that creates disturbances for people or a person concerned to the everyday way of living.

The United Nations has, during many years, developed a model for a globally harmonized system for classification and labeling of chemicals, with the aim of it becoming a global standard. This system is implemented in the European Union through the CLP-regulation and is now working parallel to the existing directives until 1st of June 2015, when all the new classifications of substances and mixtures must be completed. The aim of this project was to adjust the laboratory to the new legislation, through inventory of stored chemicals, update the list of chemicals and perform self-classifications of mixtures. The work included handling of about 650 different chemicals with varying hazard classifications and search for information in corporate websites and chemical databases. This resulted in a new and complete list of chemicals stored and used in the laboratory and, in addition, an example of how to make a self classification of a mixture.

This thesis work involves a quantitative study concerning secondary school students' understanding of older Swedish words in the lyrics in the Lucia song written by Elmfors way back in 1919th. The text has some old words and phrases that today's high school students do not really understand. The study includes surveys of two different classes in high school, a theoretical and a practical program. In some cases students can understand words by the context, but previous research shows results in general weakness in students' existing vocabulary. According to previous research, this is due, inter alia, that young people read and write less today.The results of all students are totally 38%, where the theoretical program has a slightly higher performance.

Efterfrågan i världen på pelletsprodukter har lett till att LKAB investerar stora belopp i nya anläggningar i Kiruna och Malmberget. Detta medför att projektorganisationen inom företaget lider av växtverk. Mängder av projekt, små som stora ska vara klara inom en snäv tidsplan. Under november 2005 introducerades inom avdelningen för anläggningsprojekt, ett startillstånd, med syfte att göra en sista kvalitetskontroll inför investeringsbeslutet. Examensarbetet har utförts på uppdrag av LKAB med syfte att undersöka hur startillståndet kan kvalitetssäkras.
