AbstractEmilia Rönnberg.Barriers to physical activity in adolescents in their late teens. Vetenskaplig C- uppsats HT 12 Physical activity has been essential to human health and well-being since several thousand years. In Sweden, it has been shown that both adults and young people are less physically active than the rest of Europe- a large proportion of young people today do not meet the recommendations for physical activity (60 minutes per day). The purpose of this study was to determine what proportion of young people, i.e. high school students, did not meet the recommendations for physical activity.

Citizenship is fundamental for participation in a democracy. It gives us rights but also responsibilities in the state that we are citizens of. Citizenship provides us with the opportunity to vote in order to influence who should govern us. However, not all living in a state are citizens. Some individuals are not included in the political life of the state.In recent years, there has been a rise of nationalist political parties in Europe.

Inledning: I Sverige finns det ett stort kommersiellt intresse för ishockey och fotboll. Man får ofta höra om goda sportsliga insatser från spelare men sällan om personerna med makt vid sidan av planen. Vi studerar Sports management och har därför intresserat oss för att undersöka en bransch som vi möjligtvis kommer arbeta inom i framtiden.Syfte: En verkställande direktör har rollen med mest makt och högsta befogenhet i den dagliga verksamheten i en organisation. Vd:arna har även en central roll i idrottsorganisationer. Syftet med studien var att utifrån vd:arnas egna subjektiva beskrivning undersöka hur rollen som vd ser ut och vilka olika aspekter som måste beaktas i det dagliga arbetet, samt hur och vilket ledarskap som tillämpas.Frågeställningar: Hur ser arbetet ut och vilka ansvarsområden finns för en vd/klubbchef inom en ishockey-/fotbollsklubb? Vilket ledarskap tillämpas av vd:arna/klubbcheferna? Vilka är de största svårigheterna och utmaningarna samt vad påverkar vd:arnas/klubbchefernas ledarskap?Metod: Vi har genomfört sex stycken kvalitativa semi-strukturerade intervjuer med verkställande direktörer, klubbdirektörer och klubbchefer för elitishockey- och elitfotbollsklubbar.Empiri och slutsats: Studien visar att det fanns en gemensam uppfattning om vad ledarskap är, och hur det utfördes av våra respondenter.

The functionalism started in southern Europe after world war one and got its breakthrough in Sweden with the Stockholm Exhibition in 1930. Poverty caused many people living in overcrowded conditions which the functionalists wanted to change by using less expensive materials and giving healthier living conditions to the people. The industrialization brought new materials and working methods which made this possible. The Swedish functional style is recognised by its light plaster facing and nearly horizontal roofs. Also the garden design of that time was influenced by the functionalistic ideas. The garden was now introduced as a pleasure garden for not only the rich but for everyone.

This thesis examines why working time preferences differ between workers and nations, and explains the effect of working time regulation and working time flexibility on negotiating work-life balance. In five separate sections the following working time issues are examined: the number of hours worked by workers in Europe; factors affecting individual working time preferences; how working time preferences are negotiated in the national industrial relations systems of Sweden, France and the United Kingdom; how the institutions of the European Union have influenced working time negotiations through the Working Time Directive; and the benefits and practices available to organisations implementing working time flexibility. Broadly this paper views working time preferences as being a highly personal and influenced by factors such as wages, taxation, culture (national and workplace) and non-work responsibilities. It is argued that negotiating a preferred working time pattern is essential to achieving work-life balance and when such a balance is achieved, workers are more healthy, motivated and committed to their employer. Essentially this provides an incentive for businesses to voluntarily implement working time flexibility beyond the regulatory standards..

Traditionsprincipen, det vill säga ett krav på besittningsförändring för uppnående av borgenärsskydd, har länge varit en central del av svensk sakrätt. Denna princip har under lång tid varit flitigt diskuterad, både försvarad och kritiserad. Genom avskaffandet av kravet på tradition vid konsumentköp tappade principen en del av sin ställning vid köp av lösöre. I och med det förslag som kommer att lämnas genom en utredning senare i år finns tecken på att traditionsprincipen kan komma att tappa ytterligare mark. Utredningens uppdrag är nämligen att lägga fram ett förslag om huruvida traditionsprincipen ska ersättas med avtalsprincipen vid köp av lösöre även i kommersiella relationer.Huruvida det är önskvärt att traditionsprincipen avskaffas på detta område eller inte är en fråga som diskuterats i sådan utsträckning att någon ytterligare ingående diskussion på området knappast är av intresse.

IT-system i de flesta organisationer består ofta av en stor mängd olika applikationer som är utvecklade under åren med varierad teknik på olika plattformar. Applikationerna kommunicerar med varandra över ett datanätverk, med den information och teknik som passade för ändamålet då de utvecklades. Med allt snabbare förändringstakt ökar behovet av applikationsintegration. För att hantera komplexiteten används i allt större omfattning någon form av Message Oriented Middleware (MOM) som bas för kommunikation mellanapplikationer. Då applikationer ansluts genom ett centralt MOM-system möjliggörs kommunikation som baseras på en-till-många, vilket skapar förutsättningar för en specifik variant som kallas för publish/subscribe.

Malmö, like many other bigger cities in Europe, faces a double undertaking when facing the challenges the future. Not only must the municipal be able to provide its citizens with welfare and a high standard of living, it must also establish a level of economic growth that allows the city to act as catalyst for the surrounding area. In order to provide the population with welfare and the economy with a qualified working force, these two challenges have been combined into one plan for the future called Welfare for Everybody. As part of this plan, new organisations have been created with the purpose collaborating with the social services office and support people in their transaction from welfare recipients to self-providing workers. The purpose of our thesis is to build on Michael Lipsky's classic work "Street-level Bureaucracy" and by conducting interviews with a number of front line workers study how they view their role, the client group and how they motivate the working line.

Inspired by the great arts of scientist and poet Robert J. Oppenheimer, the purpose of this paper is to unveil and highlight the attitudes towards the atomic bomb in Swedish newspapers during the early and most vivid years of the atomic era. By pinpointing and analysing central discourses caused by this paradigm breaking invention, this academic effort reveals the morbid moral of the story caused by loose speculations and the lack of knowledge..

The aim of this Master's thesis is to explore the function of public libraries as arenas for young people's artistic creations. It examines how the public library makes activities based on independent creativity visible, and what activities of this sort imply to the public library. The thesis also relates this to the public library's task in society. The main object of examination is Demoteket, an on-going project in the south-eastern parts of Sweden. In this project Länsbibliotek Sydost co-operates with Reaktor Sydost, a centre of resource in the fields of young communication and filmmaking.

The abscence of the brazilian artist Tarsila do Amaral (1886?1973) in the general art history is investigated, using the colonial structure as a starting point. In South America she is regarded as one of the greatest artists in modern time, in the rest of the world she is more or less unknown. The conclusion is that the colonial mechanisms are still in progress in our assumed postcolonial world, and has excluded Tarsila do Amaral, and the anthropophagic movement she was a part of, from the art history. The study points out the importance of looking into this neglected artist and the historic event.

För första gången i historien bor fler människor i städer än på landsbygden. Stadsborna utsätts för många stressmoment, exempelvis trafik och buller, och arbetsrelaterad stress är idag bland de dominerande orsakerna till sjukskrivning. För att klara av hög press under en längre period utan att få utmattningssyndrom är det viktigt med återhämtning, vilket fås vid åsyn av eller vistelse i natur eller grönska. Flera studier visar på många positiva effekter av natur, bland andra bättre humör, snabbare tillfrisknande, högre smärttröskel och ökad koncentrationsförmåga. Därför bör grönska och grönområden, speciellt i stora städer, prioriteras.

In Sweden we have the highest rate of nontraditional students among Europe. Coincidently, we also have the highest rates of drop outs among OECD. In this particular field, drop out from higher education, there is a need fore more qualitative studies that can support the "statistics". Studies about experiences of drop outs are significant for society, university and individual. The aim of this study is to describe and understand how nontraditional student experiences drop out from higher education.
