The study aims to describe and analyze the image of Mary Magdalene as expressed in the French artwork from 1400 and 1600s that this study deals with. The study also examines the historical context in order to find explanations for why the images of Mary Magdalene have changed. In the study Erwin Panofsky?s iconographic method is used to analyze the artworks and finding their underlying meaning. Delimitations are made that only works of art made by French artists from the 1400 and 1600s are analyzed and delimitations are also made that Mary Magdalene will act on her own in the works of art.

Tillväxten av detaljisternas egna märkesvaror, EMV, i detaljhandeln har fått vissa leverantörerna att möta konkurrensen med EMV genom att börja tillverka EMV åt detaljisterna. I uppsatsen studeras fyra leverantörer till ICA och varför de väljer att producera EMV åt detaljisten. Leverantörernas storlek och position på marknaden, deras eventuella inverkan vid beslutet samt risker med beslutet diskuteras. Slutligen undersöks om företagen påverkas på olika sätt av EMV beroende av deras position på marknaden. Tidigare studier visar att de finns tre övergripande motiv till varför företag väljer att producera detaljistens EMV; ekonomiska, relationsmässiga och konkurrensmässiga.

The Energy Performance Certification in Sweden was developed as a tool to achieve the Government's target to reduce Sweden's energy consumption by 20 percent by 2020. The Energy Performance Certificate has previously received some criticism for not fulfilling its purpose. Questions that formed the basis for this report is how the energy performance certification provides support to buyers of single-family houses and if the energy performance improved in terms of reliability. The report begins with a background description that describes how the energy declaration works and some of the findings of previous evaluations and surveys. A survey to investigate the broker's position to energy performance have been conducted as well as interviews with buyers and sellers of houses. An investigation whether the energy performance can vary between different calculation programs, depending on various assumptions made by the energy declarant, has been made.Brokers and sellers have proved negative attitudes towards energy performance, particularly brokers.

The aim of this thesis was to explore and analyze the sponsored debates on Newsmill, so called seminars. How does the sponsor use Newsmills seminars for marketing purposes? Who is allowed to write in Newsmills seminars?To answer these questions we used both a quantitative survey and a qualitative survey.To examine how the sponsors use Newsmills seminars for marketing purposes we conducted a qualitative analysis which included three of the eleven seminars - a total of 26 articles. We examined how the sponsors conveyed the picture of themselves and if the written content in Newsmills seminars contained any hidden marketing. We could see that the sponsor has a great deal of influence on the seminars and also used them to market their brand with hybrid messages.

The aim of this study is to fill the gap in mathematics education research concerning the relationship between identity and positioning in mathematical collaboration in groups. This study elaborates on the relationship between how pupils see themselves as math students in sixth grade, how they show their identities as math students, in contrast to how they position themselves reflexively in group collaboration while engaging in mathematical problem solving. The theoretical concepts linked to this study are discourse, identity and positioning. Discourse is used to describe and form the setting and context of the study. Identity is seen as a transient and elusive concept formed by the students own perceptions of self through narratives.

During the migration season in 2013 a study on spawning migrating salmon and the effect of water flow on the behavior was conducted of the salmon at the Forshaga hydropower station in the River Klarälven. The River Klarälven with its nine hydropower plants on the Swedish side, constituting migration obstacles for the migrating salmon. Fortum Generation AB has together with the County Administrative Board restored a salmon trap at the lowermost hydropower station in Forshaga, aiming at making it possible for the salmon to swim into the trap, and thereafter be transported by truck past the power plants and then continue their journey to the spawning grounds on their own. Unfortunately, it is believed that the trap does not work as well as it should. In this study, I focused on salmon position in relation to water flow and if the number of salmon that swam into the fish trap differed between salmon with previous experience of the trap (experienced) and salmon without experience (unexperienced).

During the last decade executive coaching has become an increasingly popular method of management development. Few studies have been conducted within this area, especially in Sweden, and little has been said about the construction of management in executive coaching. The purpose of this master?s thesis is to study executive coaching from a social constructionist perspective, focusing on the construction of management. The two research questions are: How is management constructed in executive coaching? How can we understand the construction of management in executive coaching? Additionally, we identify gender as a social construction of importance and thus include a gender perspective in our analysis.

Ljudet a?r ett intressant kommunikationsmedium som utnyttjar varje individsegna erfarenheter och fo?resta?llningar da?r associationer fa?r stort utrymme. Mu-seer som idag kan va?lja fra?n ett stort urval av medier har mycket att vinna ge-nom att anva?nda sig av ljud - inte enbart fo?r att tekniken tilla?ter det.Den ha?r uppsatsen har fo?r avsikt att underso?ka ljudets mo?jligheter som kom-munikationsmedium i utsta?llningar. Syftet a?r att sprida ljus o?ver detta fo?rha?l-landevis outforskade omra?de som jag anser har ma?nga outnyttjade mo?jligheter.Fo?r att avgra?nsa min underso?kning har jag valt att studera utsta?llningen Dro?m-mens syster som finns pa?

Syfte: Syftet med studien var att unders?ka om isbad p?verkar ?terh?mtning och prestation efter h?gintensiva sprinter hos kvinnliga och manliga fotbollsspelare, samt att analysera sambandet mellan upplevd ?terh?mtning och faktisk prestation. Metod: 10 fotbollsspelare deltog (fem kvinnor och fem m?n) fr?n tv? lag i sydv?stra Sverige. Deltagarna genomf?rde ?tta maximala 30-meterssprinter med aktiv vila mellan varje sprint. Fyra testtillf?llen genomf?rdes, endast ett testtillf?lle anv?nde deltagarna isbad som en ?terh?mtningsmetod. Medan de tre andra testtillf?llena gjorde deltagarna fick g?ra valfri ?terh?mtning, utan att det noterades vad f?r ?terh?mtning.

The aim of this paper is to examine the actualities of Information Practicefor single women whose parentage has been made possible through assistedreproduction, which places these parents in a norm-breaking position.Study issues related to parents? perceptions of information needs areinvestigated, as is the process of information retrieval and library usageas well as the obstacles and opportunities facing parents in search ofinformation related to their own family constellation. To this end, theoriesby Tom Wilson, Reijo Savolainen and Elfreda A. Chatman have been usedas a model of selection. Empirical data have been gathered from interviewswith eight single women, whose parentage has been made possible throughartificial insemination or IVF with sperm from an open or anonymousdonor.
