Denna uppsats behandlar det libyska politiska experimentet, närmare bestämt de historiska omständigheter i Libyen och omvärlden som kom att samverka för att gruppen kring Moammar al- Khadaffi kunde ta makten i september 1969. Uppsatsen beskriver och analyserar även de ideologiska och kulturella komponenter som den ikraftvarande massväldesideologin består av. Utifrån dessa komponenter, i huvudsak nationalism, ledarcentrism samt traditionalism, konstateras en påfallande likhet med den italienska fascismen i fråga om mål och medel..

This essay presents a picture of swedish reggae listeners and how their love of music give meaning to their lives and unite them in a sub-culture. Based on interviews with six young men about their involvement in reggae, it also investigates the relationship between music and identity, or more clearly; how identity is expressed through music. Furthermore, I discuss the notion of taste according to Bourdieu, and argue against his statement that taste in music affirms the class and social background of an individual. Results from my empirical data have indicated that reggae music is difficult to associate to a distinct lifestyle, which inclines me to argue that it has managed to transcend phenomena such as ethnicity, class and cultural affiliation..

This thesis attempts to clarify the impact of cultural differenceson customer expectations of service level. Furthermore, wewant to determine whether or not expectations of service differenough to be quantifiable between two countries, Sweden andthe US, mostly regarded as similar in business practices. The conclusion showed that higher ratings on four of Hofstede?s five cultural indexes were associated with higher customer service expectations overall, and in all four SERVQUAL dimensions. This research contributes to retail internationalization and customer expectations theory.

The landscape with its associated historical tracks and remains are an important part of our cultural heritage that we consider important to conserve. The stone walls are an example of historical remains that helps to build up this cultural heritage. It is a landscape element that today usually is being associated with the old cultivated landscape, where they mainly functioned as boundary markings and fences. Today, the stone wall is a valuable element in the landscape with ecological, culture-historical and aesthetic values. Since the stone walls arose as elements in the landscape a lot has been changed within the agriculture.

Intentionen med detta arbete är att uppmärksamma citizenship education som blivit allt mer betydande när det gäller skapandet av nationell enighet/identitet i Kenya. Mer specifikt innebär det att arbetets syfte var att undersöka hur utvalda kenyanska gymnasielärare arbetar med att förmedla kunskapen om citizenship education för att skapa nationell identitet och vilket innehåll som presenteras. Bifrågan blir om lärarna därefter uppmanar eleverna på något sätt att praktisera den kunskap som förmedlas i skolan om demokratiska rättigheter i samhället. För att besvara undersökningens frågeställningar har jag granskat dokument, i form av litteratur och databaser samt genomfört intervjuer, vilka sedan har analyserats. Respondenterna i intervjuerna har fått svara på likvärdiga frågor och ämnesområden där sedan dessa har satts i kontrast mot varandra för att frambringa eventuella differenser.

The first law in Sweden containing an act of legal deposit is from 1661. Since then the printing-houses are supposed to deliver all printed material to the Royal Library and other recipient libraries. Today, more and more information is solely published electronically. This material is not yet included in the law of legal deposit. In a similar way as our printed cultural heritage is saved for posterity our electronic cultural heritage has to be saved.

Den här uppsatsen är en statistisk jämförelse mellan valresultat och arbetslöshet både över tid och mellan kommuner över två val i Östergötland och i Birkaland i Finland. Jag jämför Sverigedemokraternas väljarbas med Sannfinländarnas och vilka utgångspunkter de har för sin väljarbas. Sverigedemokraterna har massinvandringen som utgångspunkt och Sannfinländarna har småborgerlig världsbild som utgångspunkt..

With the political situation that prevails in the world, the need for contingency planning for the ecclesiastical heritage has become actualized with the aim of protecting the churches and their assets in war and armed conflicts. In accordance with Kulturmilj?lagen (SFS 1988:950) chapter 4 ? 15a, the Church of Sweden and its organizational parts are responsible for ensuring that contingency plans for the ecclesiastical heritage are established. In the legal statutes, it is not clear how this is to be carried out, who is responsible for all practical aspects or what is to be protected, something that creates gaps of knowledge regarding logistics, roles and selection. This means that there is currently a lack of principles and practice around the protection of the ecclesiastical cultural heritage, as contingency planning for cultural heritage is a fairly new phenomenon that has not been practiced in times of peace.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att reda ut om det finns ett samband mellan religiös åskådning, nationalitet och etnicitet i Bosnien och Hercegovina och hur sex personer från landet påverkas av detta samband. Meningen är att undersöka intervjupersonernas identitet i jämförelse med begreppen religion, nationalitet och etnicitet. För att reda ut detta problem har sex intervjuer gjorts och fokus har varit på deras känslor och åsikter kring deras egen tillhörighet. Den teoretiska bakgrunden till uppsatsen utåtgår från Peter L Bergers socialisationsteori och Gellners definition av begreppet nationalism och etnicitet. Den tredje teorin utgår från socialpsykologen Mead, som förklarar hur människors identitet skapas.

The aim of this paper was to examine the specific experience of being bicultural, what ackulturation strategy the person utilized and what influenced the use of this strategy. The findings were analyzed with the help of Pierre Bourdieu?s concepts of habitus and cultural capital. The empirical data was collected through qualitative interviews with four women of Chilean background, who either were born in or had been living in Sweden since childhood. The results of the interviews showed that all the respondents predominantly utilized the integration strategy, meaning that they participated in and felt a connection to both the Swedish and Chilean culture.
