Boendestöd för missbrukare och psykiskt funktionshindrade : En undersökning av skälen till att insatserna skiljer sig åt
Boendestöd är en framgångsfaktor i arbetet med att stötta utsatta grupper med att klara ett eget boende inte minst för missbrukare. Det här är en jämförande studie baserad på intervjuer med sex boendestödjare som arbetar med missbrukare och sex boendestödjare som arbetar med psykiskt funktionshindrade. Syftet är att undersöka boendestödjarnas uppfattningar om sitt arbete och deras upplevelser av vad arbetet innehåller. Varför är det vanligt med olika organisationer för missbruk och psykiskt funktionshinder? Vad är det som rättfärdigar indelningen i de två grupperna och vad blir konsekvenserna för brukarna och för de professionella som arbetar med boendestöd för grupperna? Resultatet är analyserat med tidigare forskning kring boende och stöd, forskning om professioner framväxt och teorier om socialkonstruktivism.
Fastighetsaktier och inflation : Kortsiktiga och långsiktiga samband
The purpose of this paper was to examine the inflation hedging capabilities of property shares. A common notion is that property is a good hedge against inflation. Indeed, positive correlations have been found for direct investments and inflation. However, property shares are generally perceived as a perverse inflation hedge. This discrepancy has often been quoted as evidence of property shares divergence from the development of the underlying property market.
Studier av metoder som kan reducera utsläpp av vattenburet fosfor från Korsnäsverken
Föreliggande examensarbete på 20 högskolepoäng har utförts i samarbete mellan Korsnäs ABoch Kungliga tekniska högskolan. Arbetets syfte var att:Utifrån kunskaper om fosforströmmarna, i Korsnäsverkets externa vattenreningssystem,föreslå lämpliga vägar att reducera utsläppen av vattenburet fosfor till recipienten.Pappersbruket Korsnäsverken är lokaliserat strax utanför Gävle och ägs av Korsnäs AB somär en del av Kinnevik AB. Detta pappersbruk har Östersjön som recipient där fosfor är det begränsade tillväxtämnet. Då Korsnäsverken släpper ut fosfor bidrar de därmed till Östersjönspågående eutrofieringen. För att klara miljödomstolens satta utredningsvillkor, angående fosforreducering i Östersjön, måste Korsnäsverken halvera sina fosforutsläpp.Under detta arbete inriktades de utförda laborationerna mot kemisk fällning, som reduceringsmetod.
Bilder från det inre Afrika : Representationer av afrikaner i den svenska skämtpressen 1880-1920
This paper investigates the representations of Africans in the Swedish comic press around the time 1880-1920, with the purpose of establishing how Africans were depicted and how these representations can be explained. The sources consist of four comic magazines: Kasper, Söndags-Nisse, Strix and Naggen.Results show that images of Africans in the late 19th and early 20th century Swedish comic press highly conform to international representations. Traditional stereotypes and overall caricatures are widely applied, mediating racial difference and black subordination. The comic strips and jokes can be divided into categories, defined by their main theme: 1) Exotic animals and nature 2) Skin colour 3) The unintelligent or uncivilised savage 4) Cannibalism 5) The civilised African 6) Imperialistic overtones. The use of international stereotypes indicates that some comic strips might have been directly copied from foreign publications, and incorporated into Swedish contexts.Several theories, likely interacting, can be considered in explaining the imagery.
Om vägen till ett bättre bestånd vid ett skolbibliotek ? en aktionsforskningsansats.
For a school library to function as a support for the students? development of their academic abilities, it must provide material satisfying their needs as well as the needs of the teachers. The school library should assist the students in their research endeavours, as well as inspire reading for pleasure. In order to do this it is imperative that the school library actively develops the existing collection and continually strives to meet the needs of its users. The aim of this Master?s thesis is to describe and reflect upon how a particular school library works with collection development.
Yes Logo
Abstract
Title: Yes logo! What defines a good logo?
Authors: Fredrik Dahlin and Vladimir Zunkovic
Supervisor: Klaus Solberg Söilen.
Department: School of Management, Blekinge Institute of Technology.
Course: Bachelor?s thesis in Business Administration, 10 credits.
Purpose: To find out which are the defining characteristics of a good logo,
from a scientific point of view.
Method: We have used a qualitative method consisting of interviews with experts
within the marketing area with the goal to test the Swedish point of view
against the one in the litterature.
We also used a quantitative method to investigate the publics attitude towards
the testlogos we created. The purpouse of this poll is to test different
colourcombinations and how the marketsegments feel about them. In this poll we
used statistical methods to make sure that the agelimits and the number of male
and female respondents are correct.
We executed another quantitative study towards Swedish marketing companies to
create an idea of the businesses thoughts about a good logo are.
Results: A good logo is a simple symbol or geometrical form consisting of a
combination of colours that reflect the company?s core values, visions and
goals.
?To help them to be wise? Balanserat bestånd i svenska folkbibliotek 2007
The aim of this thesis is to examine the term balanced collection in relation to Swedish laws and the democratic assignment. The Unesco Public Library Manifesto states that libraries are to formulate a policy defining objectives, priorities and services in relation to local community needs. The Swedish Libraries Act, paragraph 7, states that municipalities and counties shall adopt plans for library services. To fulfil our aim we will answer the following questions. By which terms is the democratic assignment visible in Swedish public libraries collection development policies? Is the term balanced collection used in Swedish public libraries collection development policies? If not, are there categories describing balanced collection? Do the terms in Swedish collection development policies differ to the six categories found by Farooq M.

Kära dagbok. Hur går det till när man tar guld? : Innehållsanalys av Spendrups reklamkampanj
This is a case study of the advertising campaign ?Guld till alla? (Gold to Everyone) embarked upon by Spendrups Bryggeri AB in a bid to promote Norrlands Guld, during the period 2004. The approach used by Spendrups will be compared with theories about communication planning, communication strategies, target group definition and how to create effective advertising. The main purpose of the comparison is to find which central elements that made the campaign successful. The method we have chosen to use is an explanative content analysis with influences from the dialogue analyse.?Guld till alla? was suppose to be an massive and coherent campaign which was to be integrated with large sports events, such as the Ice Hockey World Championship, UEFA European Championship and the Summer Olympic Games, that all took place the year 2004.
Dynamisk kunskapsorganisation: teoretisk ansats och implementering
Knowledge organization is perceived as a central, constituting activity defining the notion of libraries. Critique calling for a new theoretical foundation voiced by active researchers within library and information science concerning the current knowledge organization has been utilized as a point of departure. Specifications concerning a new theoretical foundation implied by these critiques are considered within this thesis and theory found in The Order of Things by Michel Foucault proposed as an alternative theory for understanding knowledge organization as a human science where meaning, value and representation, by which the ordering of things is possible, is acknowledged as a result of human activity and history. Thus meaning, value and representation must be perceived as dynamic. An example of implementation of the proposed theory has been achieved by the use of bibliometrics.
Hackelselängdens betydelse för tuggtid och foderkonsumtion hos mjölkkor :
Today, our cows experience a harder pressure to achieve higher milk yield. To manage this challenge the animal needs first class feeding and treatment. An important aspect of the feeding is to fulfil the need from the cows of especially fiber; and fiber with a sufficient proportion of long particles. Both too much and too little fiber is bad for the wellbeing of the cow, and she might get diseases like acidosis.
Many models for feed management have been developed to secure that the animal gets enough of e.g. fiber with a sufficient proportion of long particles.
Matregionen Södra Roslagen : en etnologisk studie om lokala beskrivningar av en regions mat
North of the city of Stockholm lies the area called Södra Roslagen composed of several municipalities. The purpose of this essay is to discover how local informants describe the food culture of the region and analyse why some types of food are mentioned and others are excluded. Several people within the food industry of Södra Roslagen were given surveys asking them to describe the food habits of the area, from commodities and certain dishes to traditions. These answers were analysed using the theories regional food, regiocentrism, revitalisation, placeless food and the idea of viewing culture through the long and the short perspective.One informant mentioned that professionals in the food industry of the region tend to follow trends from the rest of the world and another that many producers work with ecological requirements. Södra Roslagen was also defined by some as having a taste of summer as this coastal area sees an influx of visitors during that season.
Poetry Slam. En studie av vilken betydelse Poetry Slam har som litteratur och som identitetsskapande verksamhet för ett antal tävlingsdeltagare.
Today, the definition of literature has changed. Walter J. Ong talks about the secondary spoken language that has surfaced as a result of new technical innovations to our writing tools. This also transforms our attitude towards literature and we can see a return to literature based on verbal characteristics. According to Hans Hertel the verbal renaissance reflects a modern man need to come closer to each other and create togetherness.
"Annan finansiell verksamhet" - En tolkning i ljuset av CFC-lagstiftningen : En tolkning i ljuset av CFC-lagstiftningen
The initial provisions concerning CFC-legislation were introduced 1990 and has since been subject to several revisions and adaptations. The fundamental purpose of the CFC-legislation is to prohibit and prevent tax evasion undertaken by such companies that own other foreign companies where generated income is subject to low rates of taxation. The CFC-legislation aims to provide the Swedish government with an op-portunity to tax this income. This is important in order to prevent tax avoidance and preserve the integrity of the system of taxation within Sweden. In order for the CFC-legislation to be as effective as possible there must exist a clear way of defining which activity that is to be regulated within its scope.
Med existensen i ett språkligt rum : Om relationen mellan språk och existens i Göran Tunströms roman Skimmer
Captured in the room of Göran Tunström?s spoken language, fenced behind his barrier of manic words. This essay is about the limit of language and world?s necessity to be spoken to be experience, about telling as a manufacturer of meaning and a subject?s motion between fiction and reality. Based on the novel Skimmer from 1996, my purpose is to identify ?a linguistic room? in Tunström?s narration and show how this room is given an existential character by its temporal and spatial dimensions.
