What effects do the different professions see in interaction?The study is a qualitative study conducted with semi-structured interviews.

The purpose of this study is to find out how clergymen in the Church of Sweden understand their role as pastoral caregivers, in a context of a society that has changed quite a lot during the past decades. The study is based on interviews with four clergymen, two men and two women in the ages of 40-65 with experiences from congregations of different social and geographical kind.

When analyzing the interviews identity and role theory is used as a tool, but also the idea of a postmodern society and metaphors for the different kind of roles a pastoral caregiver can take during counseling.The clergymen meet a broad range of people in counseling, both those who regularly attend church activities and those who are complete strangers. They are all focusing on the needs of the confident.

My intention was to explore the childhood of children and adolescents within the religious organization of Jehovah´s Witnesses, in Sweden. I used a technique where I interviewed three active witnesses and four former members. The former members either had left the religion freely or had been excluded by the movement. I wanted to know more from those two different perspectives, because they often seem to conflict. First of all, I wanted to learn about the persons own upbringing.

Intressekonflikter spelade en stor roll i de skandalerna som uppdagades kring sekelskiftet som exempelvis Enron. Nya standarder och regleringar uppkommer med jämna mellanrum för att försöka stärka och upprätthålla revisorns oberoende. Lagstiftare har länge försökt hävda att fristående rådgivningstjänster rubbar revisorns oberoende men empiriska studier uppvisar varierande resultat. Trots införandet av en strängare reglering år 2002 i USA genom Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), som innebar att många fristående rådgivningstjänster förbjöds, menar forskare att det krävs mer forskning kring intressekonflikter som kan uppstå inom revision. Utöver intressekonflikter kan även de olika förväntningarna och krav som ställs på revisorns olika roller som dels oberoende granskare, dels engagerad rådgivare ge upphov till en konflikt. Det finns en hel del forskning som behandlar oberoende, revisionskvalité och rådgivningstjänster men desto mindre forskning som studerar revisorns dubbla roller.

The purpose of this study was to explore if and how the Swedish Supreme Court are using the concept ?the child?s best interest?. This concept is used a lot in Swedish legislation, but it needs interpretation every time it´s used and is often perceived as unclear. This makes it interesting to see how this affects the individual child´s legal rights. Furthermore I want to see if the Supreme Court listen to the child´s own opinion and if not, are there any justifications to why not.

The world is getting smaller. Global markets, political processes and communication technology bring people together. Even though many of these processes are dynamic and constructive, they have also resulted in a need for better and more effective ways of international conflict resolution. This thesis investigates central issues connected to the concept of humanitarian interventions in relation to current and future legislation of the European Union. The overall question is whether the rapid globalization process has resulted in a change of international law towards more liberal view where authorization of the security council is not always needed? And, if there has actually been such a liberalization, how does that affect the legal possibilities for the European Union to carry out armed operations without the consent of the global community? The conclusion of the thesis is that international law has been modified mainly in two aspects: First, the concept of sovereignty is no longer seen merely as a right of the nation, but also as a responsibility.

Det blir svårare och svårare för migranter att på laglig väg ta sig till Europa och människor dör varje dag vid Europas gränser. Detta beror, som vi ser det, bland annat på att migrationsfrågan har säkerhetiserats och åtgärder som i normala fall inte accepteras, rättfärdigas för att skydda säkerheten inom Europa. Vi utgår i denna uppsats från de två säkerhetsbegreppen samhällelig säkerhet och mänsklig säkerhet och vårt syfte är att se inom vilka aspekter som säkerhetisering av migration har skett och se vad detta får för påverkan på immigranternas mänskliga säkerhet. De områden vi identifierat där migrationsfrågan har säkerhetiserats är kriminell, ekonomisk, välfärd och kulturell. Denna säkerhetisering påverkar migranterna både på vägen mot Europa och när de väl är där och påverkar såväl illegala som legala migranter.

The public health care sector has come under increasing pressure to cut down costs, maximize productivity and satisfy patients' needs during the 1990s and onwards. As a way of "getting more for less" quality management has been introduced. Originating in the private manufacturing industry, quality management has a strong focus on productivity and efficiency, aspects which are measured in quantitative terms. However, there are strong concerns that quality management is a means of speeding up the marketization of public health care by introducing core values much different from the ethic and medical norms that traditionally underpin health care organizations.This essay focuses on how quality management has been introduced to, and transformed by, public health care. A theoretical framework based on new institutionalism is constructed, and translation theories are used as a way of illustrating how the medical institutional environment, in fact, changes the concept of quality management.

Mitt examensarbete handlar om min musikaliska bana och skall ge en överblick av mig själv som musiker här och nu. Det blev många byten av instrument i min musikaliska karriär, som har skapat problem med min musikaliska identitet och bild av mig själv. Vem är jag egentligen, som musiker? Vilket instrument identifierar jag mig med? Uppväxt och utbildning i ett annat land har givit mig en grund att stå  på men har samtidigt skapat problem för mig med den svenska undervisningen. Vad är rätt och vad är fel? Finns det rätt eller fel? Hur har min identitet påverkats av de olika utbildningssystemen? Jag skapade en enkät för utländska studenter för att ta reda på om jag är ensam om mina upplevelser och därmed fånga eventuella skillnader.Uppväxt och skolgång påverkar  musikers identitet och man bär konsekvenserna av skolningen genom hela livet.Hur påverkas identiteten av instrumentval, repertoar och arbetsplats? Jag har tittat närmare på detta.Påverkas musikers identitet av kön? Hur lätt är det att vara kvinna och invandrare? Fungerar integrationen i Sverige? Jag försöker hitta svar på sådana frågor.I det sista kapitlet reflekterar jag över min examenskonsert och min musikaliska identitet.Jag har kommit fram till att min identitet är Musiker och Världsmedborgare.

There are several competing views on how to best utilize air power. Following his quantitative study of air power, Robert Pape developed a theory which focuses on undermining the target state's military strategy. According to Pape it is possible to explain the outcome as a result of military vulnerability. This essay seeks to determine if Pape's theory can predict the outcome of Operation Unified Protector. By using a mixed methods approach on four hypotheses, it will be determined if the operation was a successful case of coercion, if NATO acted according to Pape's model and whether this achieved the desired effects or not. The results reveal that the theory could not successfully predict the outcome of the conflict.

AbstractWork to develop the Eurocodes started in 1975 by the European Commission adopted a program to eliminate trade barriers within the construction area. The goal was to create common European design standards that would replace the member countries' own rules. Eurocodes will replace The National Board of Housing Building and Planning, National Rail, The National Road Administration and other agencies' calculation rules for the buildings structures. The transition to the use of Eurocodes looks like this:Eurocodes set to Swedish standards  between 2002 ? 2007They can be used parallel with national standards 2006 - 2009 The total transition is at the end of 2010/2011.Right now is going on a lot of work for replacement of the existing standards to Eurocodes.  The transition to the new calculations` standards, many construction companies and consulting firms facing a big changes and competitions.

Uppsatsen, Bulgariens väg mot EU ? en studie om handel och specialisering ? , undersöker de ekonomiska effekter som Europaavtalet har medfört för Bulgariens del. Avtalet etablerade ett frihandelsområde mellan Bulgarien och EU och syftade till att förbereda landet för ett framtida EU-medlemskap. Vidare verkade Europaavtalet för ett främjande av handelsutbytet mellan de två parterna genom handelsliberalisering. Studiens primära syfte är att skildra Bulgariens utveckling under en tioårsperiod med avseende på handelsmönster och specialisering.

The purpose of this paper is to understand how different fractions of Sweden?s left wing (the Social democrats, the Communists, the Syndicalists and the Socialist party) framed the end of the Spanish Civil War and the defeat of the republicans.To answer the purpose four newspapers Arbetaren (syndicalist), Folkets Dagblad (Socialist party), Ny Dag (communist) and Socialdemokraten (social democratic) have been analyzed qualitatively. The thesis has focused on how the different ideologies have framed the war, how they framed the other labour organizations and themselves plus how they relate to information about the war during the period of February 1st1939 till April 5th1939.The analysis shows that the Social democrats and the Communists framed the war as a conflict between fascism and socialism, whereas the Syndicalists and the Socialist party framed the war as a socialistic revolution. Because each side had their own view, their opinions on what threatened a republican victory differed. The Social democrats were most concerned that a non-democratic movement would win the war and the Communists feared that fragmentation within the republicans would threaten their chances to win.

När informations- och kommunikationsteknik (IKT) blir en naturlig del av undervisningen kan det få positiva effekter på elevernas inlärning. Men historien visar också att när ny teknik introducerats genom politiska ställningstaganden och statliga satsningar har den inte alltid använts på det sätt som var tänkt. Kritik har framkommit mot att många lärare har otillräckliga kunskaper om tekniken och om hur den kan användas. Interaktiva skrivtavlor är ett av de verktyg som för in IKT i klassrummen. Enligt Burden (2002) kan skolor gå igenom tre faser vid införandet av ny teknik.
