The purpose of this study is to examine the information seeking behaviour among unestablished archaeologists. Special attention has been directed to the areas of informal communication and the development of personal networks. As a former archaeology student I have been able to apply my previously acquired knowledge when writing this thesis. The empirical study is based on nine interviews with archaeologists each with more than one and less than four years of professional experience. They all have various experience of working as a fieldarchaeologist and five have simultaneously worked as university researchers.

The environment that surrounds us affects us all. Research has shown that we feel physically and emotionally best in natural environments with greenery or water elements. Urban environments are likely to be more stressing then natural environments. How we experience specific elements, as water, of an environment is not as much investigated. There is a need of further knowledge for us to fully understand the interplay between our senses and the environment. Human beings have always been depending on water and the search for it has characterized our deeds and doings through out evolution.

With many different elective courses to choose between, a lot of students  experience anxiety over deciding which courses to study next semester. The  choice of a specific course can have a big impact on the students future studies  and/or employment. Therefore the anxiety is justified. At the same time the  number of students applying for a course often vary from year to year. This  creates issues for the responsible teachers because of the ever-changing  resource requirements.There are several different theories on decision making, addressing the  different time related states as well as the different habitual styles.

Vi har gjort en kvantitativ studie som avser att kartlägga produktionsarbetares upplevelser av faktorer kan påverka hälsan. Dessa faktorer har vi delat in i fyra rubriker som genomsyrar hela uppsatsen, de är Delaktighet, Feedback, Arbetsmiljö och Lärandet. Data samlades in genom att enkäter som lämnades ut till 97 produktionsarbetare på två olika företag. I resultatet belyses personalens åsikter och upplevelser om feedback, delaktighet, arbetsmiljö och lärande och hur det påverkar dem i arbetet. Slutsatser som kan dras är att respondenterna i vår undersökning mår bra men de skulle få ännu bättre hälsa om de kände mer delaktighet och om de skulle få feedback när de gjort bra ifrån sig.

I varje verksamhet har vi genomfört semistrukturerade intervjuer med två anställda ur personalen. Det empiriska materialet har analyserats med hjälp av diskursanalys och sociologisk teoribildning om kön.

Studien syftar till att belysa synen på arbetslöshet som samhällsproblem, genom att studera begreppet ?arbetslinjen?. Studien har tre fokuspunkter: synen på den arbetslöse, värdet av arbete respektive hur staten kan motverka arbetslöshet. Studien utgår ifrån en massmedial arena under valrörelsen år 2006 och med ett empiriskt material hämtat från Dagens Nyheter och Svenska Dagbladet. Studien tar sin grund i ett socialkonstruktionistiskt synsätt och använder sig av metoden kritisk diskursanalys.I studien framkommer två bilder av synen på arbetslöshet; antingen är det individens skyldighet att vara anställningsbar eller statens plikt att skapa en arbetsmarkand som anpassas till individen.Studien avslutas med en diskussion kring relationen mellan staten och dess medborgare utifrån synen på arbetsmoral samt hur statens åtgärder för att bekämpa arbetslöshet blir legitima. .

The Capturetheory wants to give an alternative explanation for the need of regulation. From this point if view the government does not have enough information to make an optimal regulation. There is a possibility for different interest groups to take advantage of the political arena by rent- seeking behaviour. An industry may be willing to be regulated to protect itself from competition. The objective of this paper is to account for the pros and cons of the theory of regulatory capture and also if it can be applied to the Swedish market of pharmaceuticals.

This thesis examines the tendering process from the point of view of Swedish building contractors. The purpose with the study is to chart the decision process for the contractors during the tendering process. The study is designed as a survey study. This made it possible to reach a wide base of respondents, not letting such factors as geography being an issue. The survey itself was characterised by a very high response rate compared to other similar studies. The result from this study shows that former experience from similar projects, current workload and the clients economic condition are very important factors for both whether or not the contractor will bid for a project as well as the cost estimation and tendering price. Former experience from similar projects is also an important factor for the determination of the indirect costs.
