The financial crisis in the beginning of the 1990´s the financial crisis had a strong impact on the Swedish economy. Some of the main actors in the crisis were the largest banks of Sweden which brought a huge amount of losses on themselves. One of the main reasons for this was that the banks focused on volume increases rather than on credit losses. The credit analysis process is performed differently these days and it is the development of this process that is the focus for the authors.This thesis is about the credit analysis process in the four largest banks of Sweden. The purpose of the thesis is to highlight which factors the banks include in the credit analysis process and in how small and medium size companies are treated in this process.

My thesis brings up the subject of power.

The purpose of the study was to analyze how media, in this case, the daily newspaper Dagens Nyheter, produces the men and women in men's violence against women in close relationships in news articles and if there has been a change over time in this production. It is a qualitative study in which 40 news articles from DN were analyzed. The starting point in the tanks around the analysis is from a social constructive perspective. Critical discourse analysis is the method I chose to use in the processing of news stories. The result is divided into four different blocks where each block presents the results and the analysis for the following years: 1994, 1999, 2004 and 2009.

The goal in doing this study has been studying public interpretations of media content in the commercials that this study uses. The analysis was based on two TV commercials for feminine hygiene products. Initially, they seemed to differ from each other, but soon the question whether or not they in fact did convey the same underlying message was raised. The theoretical premises on which the study was founded on are the gender perspective in advertising and the social construction of gender. To reveal the hidden signs appearing in these commercials and to find out their meanings, we used the method of semiotic analysis.

This paper examines the function of narrative discourse in television talk shows. Basing our analysis on five episodes of the Swedish talk show Skavlan, we illustrate how narratives are initiated and elaborated by the participants of the show. The analysis shows that the institutional roles are challanged and that the roles vary between the host ant the guests. The analysis also shows that when guests introduce and elaborate stories they use the same discursive actions and resources as the host. When participants enter an actvie role in their storytelling the hos takes a more restrained role in which he lets the the conversation evolve spontaneously.

Uppsatsens innehåll är grundat på rapporten som Skolverket redovisade efter sin undersökning i Kalix kommun. Rapporten pekade på ett antal brister som behövde åtgärdas och som Skolverket ansåg kan vara bidragande orsaker till att 34% av kommunens elever inte gått ut grundskolan med fullständiga betyg. Skolverkets rapport var i stort baserad på de vuxnas syn på skolan, därför speglar denna rapport ungdomarnas uppfattning. Vi gjorde en surveyundersökning i år 1 på gymnasiet där eleverna fick svara på en enkät. De brister som är tydligast enligt elevernas svar är: klassrumsmiljön, respekten mellan individerna, ordning och reda samt relationerna i skolan.

The purpose of this thesis was to study descriptions of companies on their webpages on the Internet. This was performed from a socialconstructionist point of view with focus being on subject positionings and gender. A critical discourse analysis was carried out on two texts from the webpages of two organizations on the Internet. Using the three dimensional model for critical discourse analysis by Fairclough, the discourses and subject positionings that the texts included could be revealed. The purpose of this thesis was also to point out the importance of the use of language in recruiting personnel and to hopefully encourage organizations to put effort into text production to avoid discrimination.

Lantmäteriet i Gävle är ett företag som hanterar mycket stora datamängder i databaser och det är därför av stor vikt att de har ett väl fungerande databashanteringssystem. De använder sig av databashanteringssystemet Oracle, men intresse för alternativ finns. Lantmäteriet önskade därför en rapport som jämför deras nuvarande databashanteringssystem Oracle 10.2.0.3 med möjliga alternativ. De databashanteringssystem som i denna rapport jämfördes med Oracle är Microsoft SQL Server 2005 och MySQL 5.1. Aspekter som studerades är prestanda, kostnad, säkerhet, kompatibilitet, tillgänglighet och support.

I rapporten behandlas de fysiska kraven till polisutbildningen. Bakgrunden till varför de ser ut som de gör idag samt syftet med dem. Syftet med denna rapport är att undersöka jämställdheten kring de fysiska testerna i antagningsförfarandet till polisutbildningen. Vi kommer att undersöka om det är nödvändigt med skilda fysiska krav för män och kvinnor i antagningsförfarandet samt för- och nackdelarna kring detta. I det regleringsbrev som säger vad polisens ska ägna budgetåret 2005 åt står det tydligt att polisen ska redovisa sina mål för vilka åtgärder som vidtagits för att åstadkomma ökad jämställdhet mellan kvinnor och män.
