This Masters thesis is a historiographic study, which aim is to investigate how the Brezhnev administration 1964-82 describes the events taking place during the soviet cultural struggle 1917-32. The investigation is limited to how some of the literary groups, organisations and currents as well as a small number of Russian writers are viewed by the administration. The third and last edition of the Great Soviet Encyclopedia, which is considered as equivalent with the soviet official view, is used as source. The analysis made in this thesis is divided in two parts; the text analysis of the writers biographies is compared with the result of a discourse analysis, whose target is some of the literary groups, organisations and currents during the topical period. The discourse analysis is a pre-analysis, but its conclusions also have a value in itself.

?Knowledge is like money: to be of value it must circulate, and in circulating it can increase in quantity and, hopefully, in value.? ? Louis L?AmourKunskap är ofta något som tas för givet och som självklart i många organisationer men faktum är att kunskap är en värdefull som resurs som rätt hanterad kan vara en väldig tillgång för en organisation. Kunskapshantering eller knowledge management benämns den organisationsteori som behandlar tillvaratagandet av kunskaper som resurser. Centrala begrepp inom knowledge management är erfarenhetsåterföring och kunskapsöverföring, att de lärdomar som organisationen får i uppdrag och projekt ska föras vidare till övriga personer inom organisationenså att de kan användas av andra i senare i projekt.Samhällsbyggnadssektorn är en stor sektor i Sverige med uppemot en halv miljon anställda. Det är en bransch som ofta brukar beskrivas som konservativ och ovillig till förändringar.

This bachelor thesis discusses firefighting and the use of portable fireextinguishers in the salvageof historic artefacts focusing on textiles. It also looks into the use of multi-purpose dry chemicalextinguishers in a textile context and the impact the actual dry-agent has on textiles afterfirefighting.Literature studies, interviews and tests on different textiles were carried out to write this thesis.During the tests textiles were exposed to the dry agent and also to dry agent plus water toinvestigate the difference in residue. After vacuumcleaning it was clear that when the textile wasexposed to dry agent and water it was almost impossible to remove the chemical without rinsingin water.By examining the residue left on the textile using SEM it was possible to see if a textile was aswell decontaminated after vacuum-cleaning as it looks to the eye. We know that the dry agentoften consists of ammonium phosphate which acts corrosively on many materials and one canassume it damages textiles as well after longer exposure.Buildings housing cultural collections are vulnerable as we cannot easily replace ruined materialwith new.
