I resultatet visade det sig att svaren följer Socialstyrelsens kompetensbeskrivning för sjuksköterskor, dock kan vissa andra tendenser skönjas i vissa variabler..

I have used a discourse analysis as a method and queertheori for the theoretical. In this paper I have analyzed how different wedding magazines write about partnerships, gender-neutral marriage and wedding between homosexuals. I have for some time been interested in the beliefs wedding magazines have about homosexuality and how newspapers maintain heteronormativity implicitly and explicitly. Bridal magazines are anxious to have the marriage as a design and standard when they write about partnership. When they write about the two different forms of marriage, they glorify the religious marriage and pay no attention to civil marriage.

The world is increasingly coalescing, ecologically, economically and culturally. Many problems can no longer be solved within the own state borders and the limitation of the territorial state is obvious. Jürgen Habermas means that a world domestic politic without a world government is what this progress need. Therefore it is important that national interests become less central and the solidarity between people is given priority in international relations. The focus of this thesis is therefore a critical discourse analysis of the current position of the internationalisation of Swedish security and defence policy.

I den här uppsatsen beskrivs en ansats till att med hjälp av statistiska metoder förutse utfallet i förmögenhetsra?ttsliga dispositiva tvistemål. Logistiska- och multilogistiska regressionsmodeller skattades på data för 13299 tvistemål från 5 tingsrätter och användes  till att förutse utfallet för 1522 tvistemål från 3 andra tingsrätter.  Modellerna presterade bättre än slumpen vilket ger stöd för slutsatsen att man kan använda statistiska metoder för att förutse utfallet i denna typ av tvistemål..

Möjligheten att bestämma sin position med ett par meters noggrannhet varhelst på jordklotetman befinner sig har med tillgången till GPS blivit möjligt för alla som investerar i en GPSmottagare,således även Försvarsmakten. GPS har dock begränsningar som gör att tillgångentill tjänsten kan blockeras med enkla medel av såväl systemets ägare som andra. I Försvarsmaktenfinns det anvisningar inför anskaffandet av satellitpositioneringssystem som gör gällandeatt detta endast skall utgöra ett komplement till andra redundanta metoder. För militäraändamål har GPS ofta integrerats tillsammans med tröghetsnavigering där de båda metodernakompletterar varandra. Utan tillgång till GPS kommer positionsfelet i ett sådant system efteren kortare tid växa sig stort.
