The economic growth in Ireland, during the 1990s, lead to changing migration patterns. Ireland became a destination country for immigrants instead of an emigration country. Before 2004 people who were born on the island of Ireland had a constitutional right to Irish citizenship. This right was removed after a referendum in 2004.National identity is a sense of community constructed through common history and defines who belongs to the nation. The purpose of this thesis is to do a critical discourse analysis of the debate in media before the referendum.The analysis was done on texts from The Irish Times, one of the major newspapers in Ireland.

This thesis seeks to investigate the relationship between municipal policy for housing supply and the planning of new housing in Sweden. Through a case study of Göteborg municipality and a comparative content analysis of Göteborgs policy for housing supply and a number of plans featuring housing the analysis seeks to investigate the effect of policy for housing supply as a tool for securing the demand for housing in the Swedish municipalities. The thesis also seeks to discuss its findings using theory concerning the implementation of policy and the general planning situation for Swedish municipalities today. The result of the analysis shows that most plans fail to regulate most of the content suggested in the policy for housing supply, particularly regarding aspects such as pricing, type of housing and type of ownership. The result also points towards a relationship regarding the prevalence of municipal land contracts and compatibility to policy for housing supply as well as a connection between how extensive the plans are in their proposed land use and their compatibility with policy for housing supply.

Abstract in EnglishElsa Grave (1918-2003) is a Swedish writer, artist and composer. The aim of my study is to analyse the female character in Mödrar som vargar, (Mothers As Wolves), which is a collection of poems written in 1972.The analysis is divided into four parts.

The aim of this master´s thesis is to explore how Stockholms new library´s identity is constructed, and further to relate the case study to a general discussion of the identity of public libraries in Sweden. This is done through analysis of the visions and plans that the planned library is based on. We feel that it is a relevant study since questions concerning the public library's identity are for library and information science as well as the institution. Questions posed in the study are: How is the roles and identity of the planned library described in the texts that form the basis of the project? What characterises the relationship between the present and the planned library? What discourses concerning the public library's identity can we see in the material?The theoretical framework of the thesis is a discourse oriented analysis based on the critical discourse analysis of Norman Fairclough.

Begreppet likhet har en central roll inom kognitionsvetenskapen och är betydelsefullt för beskrivningar av flertalet kognitiva processer. I denna rapport behandlas kontexters påverkan på utfallen av likhetsjämförelser. Det har tidigare visats att hänsyn till relationslikheter i likhetsjämförelser har ett samband med tillämpandet av den kognitiva process som på engelska kallas för structural alignment. Det har dessutom visats att den utsträckning i vilken structural alignment tillämpas beror av kontextfaktorer såsom hur de objekt som jämförs presenteras. Sambandet mellan kontext och hänsyn till relationslikheter vid likhetsjämförelser behandlas i denna rapport.

En diskursanalys på två av de mest frekvent använda historieböckerna på den svenska gymnasieskolan "Epos" och "Alla tiders historia A". Dessa läses med hjälp av en diskursanlys framtagen av Lennart Hellspong "Metoder för brukstextanalys". För att se om där finns spår av eurocentrism och om de motsvarar Lpf11s kursplan för ämnet historia. Resultatet visar på att de båda böckerna är allt för vinklade till Europas fördel och att de på egenhand inte motsvarar kursplanen..

The aim of this thesis is to study discursive change in the Swedish environmental political discourse between 1987-2005. The text of three Swedish budget propositions are analysed for this purpose.The results from the analysis are related to a few relevant theoretical perspectives that hold partly different views on what constitutes ?sustainable development? and ?ecological modernization?. Through these theories the thesis continues the discussion around the two central but somewhat blurry terms sustainable development and ecological modernization. The aim of this discussion is to conclude whether the discursive change in Swedish environmental politics can be said to go more in the direction of sustainable development or ecological modernization, or if elements of both perspectives can be found.The analysis shows that the Swedish environmental discourse has come to include more and more political fields such as general welfare politics, during the period.

The purpose of this research is to study the new curriculum in the topic of modern languages in the upper secondary school, and compare the curriculum from year 2011 with the one from year 2000 and thus try to find differences in the content and wordng. The research also aims to investigate teachers' interpretations and understanding of the new curriculum. The study is divided into two sub?studies and those are based on the two methods of text analysis and interview. Text analysis of policy documents is made parallell with some aspects found in the background materials of the upper secondaryschool reform, which can be summarized as precision and globalization.

Often, the green is handled as an opposite to the built, but if it could be seen as a part of the built and the society, the planning will be easier to handle. The thesis work wants to create a method that treats villages in an analytic way in a context; with green, blur, grey and all the other colors that together are the completeness.This master's thesis is made to be used as foundation in detail plannng in the municipality of Örkelljunga. Target audience is on one hand those who work with planning and green matters in Örkelljunga municipality, but also other planners who work with landscape.Literature in the field of green city planning has been studied and 30 methods for analysis have been valued. The method for analysis that has been used in this work is a merging of ten different methods and has included literature studies, sketches, interviews and work on spot. The ten methods are consciously chosen to together make one comprehensive and true image of the village, as far as it is possible.

Syftet med denna rapport var att genom fyra intervjuer ta reda på hur lärare i årskurs fem och sex uppfattar relationen mellan läsförståelse- och matematiksvårigheter samt hur de väljer att arbeta inom dessa områden. Vi har även genom enkäter hos dessa lärares elever valt att undersöka hur de uppfattar sin kunskap inom läsförståelse och matematik. Vi har sedan försökt att relatera dessa till varandra. Den teori vi har utgått från i denna rapport är fenomenografi som handlar om hur människor uppfattar sin omvärld. Studien har genomförts på två skolor i två olika kommuner.

Vår avsikt med denna rapport är att belysa problematiken med Polisens resurser och den låga uppklarningsprocenten av de så kallade mängdbrotten. Det vill säga brott av enklare beskaffenhet med polisiär förundersökningsledning. Förenklat kan man säga att dessa brott utgörs av tillgreppsbrott, lindrigare våldsbrott, skadegörelsebrott och fridsbrott som drabbar allmänheten i relativt stor omfattning jämfört med grov brottslighet. Grunden till denna rapport är att mängdbrotten utgör den absolut största delen av den totala brottsligheten samtidigt som de har den lägsta uppklaringsprocenten. Detta faktum innebär sannolikt att otryggheten hos befolkningen ökar samtidigt som allmänhetens tilltro till rättsväsendet sjunker kraftigt.

I denna rapport presenteras ett förslag på vilken navigeringsmetod som är att föredra vid läsning på en surfplatta, med avseende på läsarens förmåga att i efterhand minnas texten. Resultaten från studiens experiment är värdefulla för de som är intresserade av e-lärande, människa-datorinteraktion och studenter med intresse av att minnas det de läst.Resultat från tidigare forskning indikerar att ett långt textflöde som läsaren skrollar genom är sämre än en statisk navigeringsmetod, där hela sidans text byts ut på samma gång. I denna rapport presenteras resultat från ett experiment som genomfördes på 23 deltagare och som bestod av två minnestester och två enkäter. Dessa resultat stödjer tidigare forskning och det verkar som att gruppen som använt den svepande navigeringsmetoden byggt en bättre mental representation av texten och har en bättre förmåga att återkalla texten från minnet än de grupper som fått läsa med en skrollande navigeringsmetod.Resultaten bör bekräftas av vidare studier men slutsatsen är att en svepande navigeringsmetod är att föredra framför en skrollande vid läsning av textdokument på en surfplatta..

Syftet är att ta fram illustrerande ritningar som genomsyrar arbetets gång..

A description and analysis of the sales process of ERP systems is presented; also the consequences for the parties involved are discussed. The chosen methodological basis is an inductive research design consisting of a case study based on interviews. The analysis of the empirical data is done with a proposed analytical framework. Based on the agency theory, the analysis is tightly knitted together with opportunism. There are three controlling factors: relationships (relationship marketing), contracts (principal-agent theory), and competition.

The concept of domestic violence pertains to different definitions of violence, one of which is the concept of honour related violence and oppression. This paper looks at honour related violence and oppression, as defined in policy documents at a central political level, and how various discourses stand in relation to social categories and power relations. Consequently, the theoretical and methodological premise of the paper has been based on discourse analysis and an intersectional perspective has been applied to gain further depth and breadth in the analysis of the material. The intersectional perspective houses various approaches to the understanding of specific phenomena based on factors of gender, ethnicity, sexuality and class. The analysis concludes that the concept of honour related violence and oppression is a concept without a single scientific definition. There is, however, a general consensus in the political context that honour related violence and oppression is a collective force that can be directed at both sexes.
