"en labyrint av vägar" : en kvantitativ och språkfilosofisk studie av taggar och taggstruktur i Stockholms stadsbiblioteks folksonomi
The purpose of this study is to perform both a quantitative and language philosophical analysis of the folksono-my and the tags in the Stockholm public library catalogue, which together with the Umeå university folksonomy, and the folksonomy of the Norrköping public library are the only library folksonomies in Sweden.The purpose of the first part of the study is to perform an analysis of the linguistical structure of the tags in the folksonomy. To do this a quantitative analysis has been conducted to grammatically categorize and evaluate tags using a method based on Louise Spiteri?s article ?The structure and form of folksonomy tags: the road to the public library catalogue? and the SAO guidelines. This part of the analysis aims to answer questions like: what characteristics do the tags in the folksonomy have and in what ways do they separate themselves from subject headings in a controlled vocabulary? Tags were here categorized according to grammatical properties like parts of speech and their social and private characteristics.
Terrorism som medel för politiska mål? : En komparativ studie mellan nationell och internationell terrorism
Terrorism. A word that makes you think about different situations throughout the last decade that has passed. However, in this particular thesis the purpose is to examine both national and international terrorism from a Clausewitzian theory. The main point is to examine whether any of these types of terrorisms can fit in to this theory and as examples in this study are the terrorist organizations ETA and al-Qaida. The questions to be answered in this paper are if their aims can be explained as political and how far are they ready to go to have their way? Furthermore, the reason for this paper is to find an understanding for why the terrorist organizations act as they do.The result of this comparative study is that both terrorist organizations fit in to the theory because their goals can be seen as political and therefore can their aims justify their actions.

Tid för nationell framtid : Studie av nordiska nationella dokument och framtidsmetoder
Det är ingen enkel process att ge sig in i en okänd framtid. Inom den fysiska planeringen är det betydelsefullt att göra långsiktiga studier och bedömningar som rör mark-, vatten- och naturresurser för att skapa en rimlig avvägning mellan olika anspråk på nyttjande och bevarande. Fysisk planering är till stor del en kommunal fråga, men samtidigt är det allt fler planeringsfrågor som behöver ses i ett regionalt, nationellt eller transnationell perspektiv. Det verkar vara hög tid för nationell framtid. De institutionella förutsättningarna som behövs för fysisk planering på en nationell nivå saknas i Sverige och något sammanhållet nationellt dokument har inte heller utarbetats.
"The Great American Novel": en begreppsanalys
Sedan mitten av 1800-talet har man i amerikanska litteratursammanhang ? akademiska så väl som populärkulturella ? debatterat möjligheterna att skapa och att definiera ?The Great American Novel?; ett slags identitetsdanande roman och/eller allomfattande skildring av nationen USA. Syftet med uppsatsen är att ge en historisk bakgrund till begreppets uppkomst och att analysera dess olika innebörder. Problem med begreppets definitionsmöjligheter diskuteras och olika definitionsalternativ förs fram. Frågan om huruvida det finns något värde i att (fortsätta) diskutera och försöka definiera ?The Great American Novel? tas upp..

Work-Life Balance : En kvantitativ studie av könsskillnader bland civilekonomstudenter
Work-Life Balance (WLB) is defined as the ability to manage both work-life and non-work life successfully. WLB can be evaluated by examining individual?s experience of Work-Family Conflict (WFC) and Family-Work Conflict (FWC), both of which can be assessed by a questionnaire developed by Netemeyer, Boles and McMurrian (1996). The aim of this study was to explore if responses to the questionnaire, the amount of time spent on studies, household chores and sick leave, were gender related or not, among civil-accountants students. The survey included 138 respondents (74 woman and 64 men).
Askgödsling och dess lämplighet i torvmarksskogar tillhörande Sveaskog Förvaltnings AB : en litteraturstudie
During whole-tree harvesting, there is a risk that the soil will become impoverished of nutrients. To prevent this, nutrients are returned to the harvested site as wood ash. This action also reduces the risk of soil acidification. Nevertheless, the ash does not result in any increase of tree growth if it is added on mineral soils, which is where the measure is most commonly used in Sweden. Due to the lack of growth response, the interest from landowners is small, which is why ash amendment today is not done enough to compensate for the need.

Nedskrivning av Goodwill. Bias och kulturella skillnader i nedskrivningsprövningen - case: Finland och Sverige
Bakgrund och problem: De noterade finska och svenska företagen har sedan redovisningsår2005 varit tvungna enligt IFRS-regelverket att utsätta sina goodwillposter för årliganedskrivningsprövningar. Förfarandet har förväntats öka på redovisningens relevans mensamtidigt har den också kritiserats för att öppna ett fönster för manipulation och bias. Problemetmed förfarandet är att det innefattar en hel del personlig bedömning och är för allmänheten enrelativt ogenomskinlig händelse. Den tidigare forskningen har för mestadels koncentrerat sig påden amerikanska marknaden och varit oense ifall den nya kutymen är lyckad eller inte. Diverseundersökningar har lett till olika resultat angående bias inflytande över nedskrivningsprövningar.Tillsvidare har IFRS-hemisfärens norra del (Nord Europa) dock inte berörts i denna forskning.Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att ta del i den tidigare diskussionen med att undersöka ifallde i Finland och i Sverige utförda nedskrivningarna varit igenomsnitt befogade och ifallberättigade ekvivalenta skjutits upp.

Ålandsfrågan : En studie ur ett medieperspektiv
AbstractThe purpose of this essay is to study in what way teachers in preschool work with pupils enabling them to gain influence and involvement in their learning.Influence means being able to make your voice heard which is an important component of a democratic society. Involvement is about being part of a community in which everyone is welcomed regardless of beliefs and opinions. Several of today's researchers believe that learning occurs in interaction between people. Teachers providing meaningful assignments to pupils, they become more motivated to learn.The study is based on observations of how teachers work with influence and involvement in controlled sessions, and interpretations of them. My results show that children become involved in their learning when they are confronted with a variety of pedagogical approaches to learning.
Effekten av minskad kärnkraft i Sverige : En studie i prisbildning på den nordiska elmarknaden
I denna studie undersöks effekterna av en minskning av den svenska kärnkraften på elpriset för svenska hushåll på den nordiska elmarknaden. En grafisk modell som är baserad på utbudskurvan för elkraft och en ekonometrisk modell har används i analysen. Den ekonometriska modellen bygger på tidsseriedata över perioden 1970-2013 för sex variabler som historiskt kan antas ha påverkat elpriserna. Studien har avgränsats till insamling av datamaterial från Sverige, Norge, Finland och Danmark. Resultatet från den grafiska modellen visar att en 20 procents minskning av den svenska kärnkraftsproduktionen skulle leda till en höjning av hushållens elpriser med drygt 9 procent.

Grund plöjning med Kvernelands Ecomat och Ecomat Seeder : resultat från undersökningar genomförda år 2005
The Kverneland Ecomat and The Ecomat Seeder has been tested in three different field
studies. All the studies were conducted on soils with different clay content during 2005 in Säby outside Uppsala.
In one of the trial spring ploughing with the Ecomat and spring ploughing and seeding with
Ecomat Seeder were compared with conventional autumn mouldboard ploughing and spring
mouldboard ploughing to conventional depth (22-23 cm). In this study the quality of the
seedbed, the number of emerged plants and weeds, the pentration resistance and the yield
were examined.
Shallow spring ploughing (10 cm) with the Kverneland Ecomat has shown to be a good
alternative to conventional autumn ploughing when growing spring crops. During the season
2005 tilling with the Ecomat resulted in a higher yield than conventional ploughing. In 2002-2005 the average yield for shallow spring ploughing was 4 percent higher than after
conventional autumn mouldboard ploughing and 10 percent higher than after spring mouldboard ploughing to conventional depth (22-23 cm).
In the other two studies, ploughing to different depth in the autumn with the Ecomat was
compared with conventional mouldboard ploughing and stubble discing.
