Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur en grupp gymnasieelever ser på sitt eget och andras identitetsskapande i förhållande till media. Frågeställningar:?       Vilken inverkan anser deltagarna att media har på deras sociala kön och kroppsuppfattning??       Ser deltagarna någon skillnad på hur killar och tjejer förhåller sig till media i sitt identitetskapande??       Vad anser deltagarna att de normer och ideal som media förmedlar innebär för derasidentitetsskapande? Sammanfattning:Vår datainsamlingsmetod har bestått av två kvalitativa gruppintervjuer som genomförts på gymnasieskolor med deltagare som går sitt tredje år. Vid analysen av den insamlade empirin har vår teoretiska utgångspunkt varit Socialkonstruktionism och fenomenologin vår förståelsegrund.  Vid analysen har vi använt oss utav IPA ? metoden.

Den här uppsatsen syftar till att beskriva svenska journalisters förhållningsätt till sittdemokratiska uppdrag. Vilket demokratiskt ideal strävar journalisterna mot genom sinayrkesideal? Och vilket demokratiskt ideal betraktar journalistkåren som önskvärt? Gynnarjournalisterna sina egna demokratiideal i sin yrkesroll? Eller finns det en diskrepans mellanderas demokratiideal och den typ av demokrati som de faktiskt bidrar till? Frågorna besvarasgenom att kartlägga journalisternas förhållningssätt till två polära demokratimodeller ?elitdemokrati och deltagardemokrati. För att klargöra vilken demokratimodell somjournalisternas yrkesideal motsvarar bäst analyseras yrkesidealens förhållningssätt till olikakrav som demokratimodellerna ställer på journalistiken. Journalisternas generellademokratiideal undersöks därefter genom enkätundersökningar.

This essay examines masculinity in the Swedish military paper Värnpliktsnytt during 1971-1991. The purpose is to study the masculine norms and the hegemonic masculinity that Värnpliktsnytt conveys during these years. Värnpliktsnytt was handed out for free to all soldiers during 1971-2010.During the 1970?s the women were only allowed on non-combat posts and in the 1980?s they more and more were included and accepted as soldiers and staff in the military. In 1989 women were allowed to apply for active and non-combat duty in all military sectors.

'Teachers in current Swedish child- and youth literature' is an essay that attempts to understand the reasons behind why authors portray teachers the way they do. The foundation and focus point of this essay are ten Swedish child and youth books that were all published during 2012. Throughout this essay I have analyzed the fictional teachers in these books using the discourse analysis method but also employed a gender perspective. The main questions were these: Do the teachers presented in these books follow the curriculum LGR - 11, or do they represent the authors own education experience brought forward to current settings? Furthermore, was there a difference in how female and male teachers were represented? And if so what, possible reasons could account for that? The conclusions made were thus: ? The teacher characters within these books were mostly a throwback to days gone by, therefore reflecting the authors own memories of their school. ? They were mainly presented to the reader in a negative light which most likely has its roots in how Swedish school and Swedish teachers have been portrayed within the mass media. ? That there was indeed gender stereotyping in how female and male teachers were described..

I denna C-uppsats har vi mot bakgrund av att Migrationsverket inte längre driver några flyktingförläggningar i egen regi, studerat det aktörslandskap som tagit över denna uppgift. I studien har vi intervjuat två offentliga, en ideell och tre privata aktörer som driver asylboenden. Vi har utgått från att asylboenden är en välfärdstjänst och att utförarna därför står för tillämpningen av en välfärdstjänst.Syftet har varit att studera de olika utförarnas idéer om asylboenden som välfärdstjänst och analysera idéerna utifrån ett ideologiskt förankrat ideal om välfärd. Därför har vi utarbetat idealtyper som vi baserat på Esping-Andersens (1990) typologi av korporativa (konservativa), liberala och socialdemokratiska välfärdsregimer och kompletterat våra idealtyper med annan teori. Social stratifiering, reglering, dekommodifiering och vinstintresse är de begrepp som ingått i de idealtyper vi använt oss av.

Since the 1980s, the management philosophy New Public Management has resulted in major changes in the public administration system in several countries, especially in the West. A market oriented approach and an increased focus on performance measurement are ideals that are salient in these changes. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to examine the management philosophy?s influence on international relations through a critical analysis of some of its ideals in the management of international development cooperation, where effectiveness, quality, and results have been new dominant concepts. Through a qualitative content analysis of a Swedish Communication from 2014 ? the Aid Policy Framework ? and a debate in the Swedish parliament where this Communication was discussed, different themes that reflect the strategy of so called results based management in Sweden are identified.

Tankar om ett paradis har funnit i tusentals år, men det har återkommit i olika skepnader och under olika namn. Även i dag skapar människan sig en bild av ett paradis och i detta arbete görs en jämförelse mellan dåtidens och nutidens paradisskildringar. Frågan är om vi ser någon skillnad mellan dåtiden och nutidens? De större västerländska filosofipåverkande epoker, såsom antiken, den keltiska och fornnordiska mytologin, den kristna, beskriver ett paradisiskt ideal som i mycket liknar vartannat. Edens lustgård är kanske det mest kända paradis, men som är en kombination av flera olika paradis.

This thesis was commissioned by Volvo Powertrain, where manufacturing and assembling of transmissions is performed, which is used in the company's trucks and buses. The thesis has consisted of a case study that intends to study the problem areas in the current proposed activities and continuous improvements in the assembly department in the Volvo Powertrain facility.In the current situation, the proposals that are submitted by the employees suggest mainly minor improvements. The proposals concern for example, labelling of materials boxes and holders for tools, which do not generate any significant profit for the company. Directors and executives want an increased amount of proposals with a more results-oriented type, in terms of reduced costs, time consumption and stops, and improved quality. The company would also deal with the problems that arise when implementing improvements in the production.

During the last decade executive coaching has become an increasingly popular method of management development. Few studies have been conducted within this area, especially in Sweden, and little has been said about the construction of management in executive coaching. The purpose of this master?s thesis is to study executive coaching from a social constructionist perspective, focusing on the construction of management. The two research questions are: How is management constructed in executive coaching? How can we understand the construction of management in executive coaching? Additionally, we identify gender as a social construction of importance and thus include a gender perspective in our analysis.
