This master's thesis is about alternative career opportunities for library and information science graduates. Ever since the beginning of our education we have been interested in working outside of the traditional libraries. Now that we are about to receive our degrees in library and information science we are doubtful if the competence we have obtained is enough to meet the demands of the labour market. The employment field we have been studying in this master's thesis is information management, since this is a field that we find comparable to library and information science. Our study involves a qualitative survey amongst recruiting companies to investigate how the recruiters value different educations, competences and personal skills when they employ staff within the field of information management.

I februari 2006 avskedas Graham Souness från Newcastle United efter en tids dåliga resultat. Den dagen han avskedas tar aktien ett skutt uppåt, således tyckte marknaden det var bra att han avskedades trots att det innebar ökade kostnader för klubben. Med detta som faktum uppstod vår problemformulering:Hur påverkas börsnoterade fotbollsklubbars aktiekurs när managern lämnar klubben?Syftet har varit att undersöka om det förekommer avvikande avkastning när en fotbollsmanager lämnar klubben. Vi har också gjort en jämförelse med hur det ser ut när VD: n lämnar ett företag.

Den svenska MMA marknaden är idag under hård kritik. Många människor menar att det endast är kriminella som håller på med kamsport och att de tävlingar som arrangeras är ren brutalitet. Trots det här så har vi idag väldigt stora aktörer på den svenska marknaden som inte bara klarar sig utan även växer. Men organisationerna har fortfarande den allmänna opinionen emot sig. Företagen försöker att framstå som så sportsliga och godartade som möjligt och de menar att MMA inte är våld utan en idrott.

Sweden has long been nonaligned in peace with the aim to remain neutral in the event of an outbreak of war. Building confidence for this neutrality was important for Sweden during the Cold War. This placed high demands on the Swedish Navy to detect and repel violations of Swedish territorial waters. The archives, which contain the secret reports on the violations that occurred during the 1960s, have recently been opened up.The purpose of this essay is to study how the incidents that took place in Swedish territorial waters in the 1960s were managed and to examine if the handling of them was different depending on whether they were caused by the east or west side. Furthermore, the aim is also to try to categorize and interpret these measures from the two pairs of concepts of deterrence and reassurance and integration and screening.In making it possible to answer the questions, all the reports - 66 altogether - which refers to the incidents which occurred during the years 1962 through 1969, have been studied.

This thesis concerns the term contemporary history and its role in landscape architecture. Today?s contemporary history is defined as the planning and architecture connected to the 60s and 70s, in Sweden carried out as a large scale planning project called ?Miljonprogrammet?, which set out to build one million new residences in ten years.

In the profession of architects there is an element called architectural competitions, where several architects compete in submitting the best solution for a certain task. In this master?s thesis I am studying the competitor?s perspective of an international architectural competition, while at the same time gaining experiences for my future career as a landscape architect. The aim of this thesis is to through an introspection of my own process examine a competitors view of the international architectural competition and how to approach the difficulties concerning international competitions. Through that I hope obtain experience about the international competition as part of the profession of landscape architects and other involved professions. To examine a competitor?s reflection of an international competition, I entered and competed in LE:NOTRE Student Competition, a competition for students where the task was to develop 25 kilometers of complex urban periphery along a chain of natural and artificial lakes in Bucharest, Romania.

Every year a number of tenant-owner flat deals are concluded and the availability of real estate agents on the market is today very widespread. It has become increasingly difficult for estate agents to distinguish themselves in a way that makes the estate agent the customer?s choice. Estate agents must have a good understanding of what is important to the customer. An apartment deal is, for most people, an important event in their life.

This connection is again of current interest 2008, when a financial bubble bursts at the same time as a baby boom occurs.

In this essay, I analyze the syllabus for Swedish with specific regard to literature teaching. I identify three different perspectives which carries seperate implications. First, a text-centered perspective, which tends to position the importance of the text as a part of a tradition. However, this seems to distance the reading from the reader, and place the importance of the reading event outside the student. The consequence might be that the student employs an instrumental reading which simply responds to a pre-set idea of meaning.

Syfte och frågeställningarSyftet med studien är att göra en målgruppundersökning samt att utifrån den utveckla föreningens arbete med marknadskommunikation mot den aktuella målgruppen. En förbättrad kommunikation med målgruppen skall förhoppningsvis leda till ökat intresse och större publik på hemmamatcherna. Följande frågeställningar har behandlats: Hur uppfattar målgruppen Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC (i fortsättningen förkortat KGFC) budskap? Vilken attityd och vilket beteende kännetecknar målgruppen? Hur skapar KGFC ett ökat intresse hos målgruppen? Vilka kanaler skall KGFC främst satsa på? Hur kan KGFC utveckla sin marknadskommunikation mot målgruppen? MetodVi har använt oss av en kvalitativ metod med stora kvantitativa inslag. Exempel på kvantitativa inslag är en enkätundersökning på föreningens primära målgrupp (tjejer 8-16 år). Till grund för arbetet ligger enkätundersökningen och en intervju med sportchefen Lars Svensson samt befintlig litteratur inom marknadsföring och kommunikation. ResultatSom resultat har vi fått fram att KGFCs budskap är otydligt för målgruppen, att KGFCs främsta kanal för att kommunicera är hemsidan samt att målgruppen har begränsad kunskap om föreningen.
