Problem: I dagens teknologiskt och kulturellt globaliserade värld skapas nya tendenser och riktningar för vår kultur. Möjligheten för språk- och kulturmöten av olika slag ökar och med dessa följer blandandet av kulturer med alla dess implikationer, innefattande språket, som grundläggande sammanhållningsfaktor. Språk- och kulturmöten kan resultera i en företeelse som spanglish, vilken är en blandning mellan spanskan och engelskan.Syfte: Uppsatsens syfte är att försöka förstå hur spanglish kan ses i relation till sociala, kulturella och globala processer, samt vilka funktioner fenomenet har. Med hjälp av uppsatsens fyra genomgående teman (språk, globalisering, diaspora och föreställda gemenskaper) vill jag ta reda på följande frågeställningar:1. Hur kan man förstå spanglish som språkligt fenomen?2.

The purpose of this essay is to identify the costs of illness in different organizations, and compare the calculated result with the actual result in their annual reports.We collected information thru interviews with the personnel manager in the selected organizations, and used the annual reports to add necessary information.When we applied our model, we found that the selected organizations, in some cases, have a cost of illnes which is up to seven times higher than shown in their annual reports. It?s, in general, the costs that aren?t related to the salary (additional costs), which are much higher than shown.The absence of a model that calculates the costs of illnes can result in wrongful decisions. If a model would be applied in an organization, it should increase the awearness of the actual costs of illnes, which can lead to better decisions througout the whole organization.This report is written in Swedish..

Heart failure is an illness that requires life-long treatment and often affects everyday aspects of a person?s life. Self-care is a significant part of the treatment. Good self-care resources make it possible for people with heart failure to make the lifestyle changes they often need to maintain or improve their level of health. Self-care means having knowledge of and being able to recognize the symptoms and signs of deterioration that can occur with heart failure, so that the person can take appropriate measures ? and it also means knowing when it is time to seek professional help.

Purpose: To examine how a tour operator works to implement sustainability in the development of the business, as well as what significance it has to consumers in selecting a tour operator. Furthermore, the purpose is to provide recommendations on how tour operators should work to communicate their commitments.Methodology: The research strategy applied is a case study which follows an abductive approach. Qualitative and quantitative methods were applied to complement each other. A semi-structured interview with a tour operator and a consumer survey constitute the empirical foundation.Conclusion: The conclusion of the study is that consumers show a positive attitude towards CSR, but do not see it as a determinant when choosing a tour operator. Thus, CSR does not constitute a competitive advantage against competitors.

Intresset för språk gav mig idén att undersöka hur grammatikundervisningen fungerar i dagens skola. Jag ville inte bara göra en undersökning om den svenska uppfattningen, utan även ta del av ett annat lands åsikter. Valet föll på England. Min tanke är att en sådan undersökning skulle kunna ge mig en klarare utgångspunkt för det kommande arbetet med språkundervisningen och ge en vägledning när det gäller att förbättra elevernas kunskap och förståelse för språkets betydelse. I arbetet vill jag försöka komma fram till om och hur eleverna finner samband mellan grammtikstudier, läsning, skrivning och annan färdighetsträning.

Syftet med mitt arbete har varit att jämföra två läromedel i tyska för svenska nybörjare, år 7, från två olika tidsperioder för att utreda om det finns skillnader och om så är fallet , vari dessa består. Jag har studerat olika språkundervisningsmetoder som florerat i Sverige under 1900-talet och försöker se ett samband mellan läromedlens upplägg och den metoddiskussion som förts under respektive tillkomstår. Jag går i kronologisk ordning igenom olika språkundervisningsmetoder och vad som kännetecknar dessa. Därefter presenterar jag de två läromedlen och gör en jämförelse dem emellan med anknytning till metoderna. Jag kommer fram till att läromedlen skiljer sig åt och jag finner tydliga tecken på att båda läromedlen är starkt påverkade av och konstruerade utifrån de metoder som varit dominerande under tillkomståren..

There are different types of risk, examples include credit risk, liquidity risk and financial risk. In DeMarzo & Berk (2011, s. 293) is a study presented which is based on the yield of different types of financial assets between 1925 and 2009, the study show that a high risk gave substantially higher reward. With the study as a background, it is interesting to study practical risk management within participants of the financial markets of Sweden. In risk management there are several theories about whether risk can be calculated and analyzed with scientific methods in practice.

In connection with that the last few decades have been characterized by major changes where also the rate of change has increased, changes in organizations has become a natural part of today's organizational activities. Every change involves a learning challenge and because of that every change is unique, its output is unclear. However, there is much research that highlights various factors critical to creating an effective change, among others internal communication.The purpose of this study is to investigate whether Engeström's theory can be applied to a completed organizational change and see whether an expansive learning has been promoted in connection with this. This is accomplished through interviews with six employees, all working in one of Sweden's leading property companies. Engeström's theory of expansive learning is applied in order to analyze whether learning is promoted in connection with the organizational change.The result of the study shows that Engeström's theory can be applied to a completed organizational change in order to analyze whether an expansive learning has been promoted in connection with this.

Syftet med det här arbetet har varit att ta reda på om alla människor har samma möjligheter att tillägna sig språk. Jag har velat ta upp olika teorier om hur man lär sig ett språk samt att redogöra för individuella skillnader vid språkinlärning. Jag vill även undersöka elevers och lärares attityder till ämnet grundspråk och se om eleverna påverkades av att de inte får betyg i ämnet grundspråk. En stor del grundar sig på litteraturstudier men jag har även en undersökande del där jag via enkäter undersökt elevers och lärares tankar om grundspråk. Genom mitt arbete har jag dragit slutsatsen att alla inte har lika lätt för att lära sig språk.

A valid arbitration agreement constitutes a bar to court proceedings as well as a prerequisite for arbitral proceedings. In NJA 2008 p. 406 and NJA 2012 p. 183, the Swedish Supreme Court applied the so-called doctrine of assertion with respect to the issue of whether a dispute should be settled by arbitration or litigation. Prior to these judgments, it was uncertain if the doctrine of assertion was applicable regarding this issue.

During the past two decades a new expression has emerged in Swedish business linguistics: Styrelseproffs (appr. Board Professional). The aim of this paper is to study whether a board member legitimately can be considered a professional. This is investigated through the eyes of the theoretical framework of professionalization. The empirical data is collected through interviews and presents the perspective of people considered to be Board Professionals.

Every year about 210 000 tones dry weight of sewage sludge is produced in Sweden. Most of the sludge is applied to agricultural land, plantsoil and landfill cover. Sewage sludge contains essential nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus. Nitrogen is limiting growth on solid ground in Sweden and can therefore be used as fertilizer to increase productivity. In order that the sludge can be spread to forest land it requires first a conversion of sludge to pellets, to make it more manageable.
