Men commit more suicide than women all over the world. They commit more violent crimes and are more inclined to alcohol abuse. There are studies that relate this behaviour to the hegemonic image of masculinity.My work focuses on Switzerland. The suicide rate in Switzerland is worrying, for men between 15 and 44 years suicide is the most common cause of death. There is no national suicide prevention and no information or prevention that highlights the connection bet- ween the hegemonic image of masculinity and the suicide rates.

AbstractPurpose/Aim: To study how Piratbyrån argues for a free distribution of information and culture products and to find a possible ideological explanation for their argumentation.Method/Material: I have used a rhetorical analysis to study and describe Piratbyrån´s website, a website that promotes free distribution of information and culture products. I have done so to find out how Piratbyrån argues for a free distribution and to find out what ideological foundation their argumentation is based on.Main results: The main results of the study show that Piratbyrån uses a variety of rhetorical techniques depending on the subject and purpose of the analyzed text. Their main arguments both promote their own thesis and argue against the copyright industry. The main part of the argumentation is based on logical and factual arguments, but parts of it also rely on an emotional appeal to the reader?s heart in order to persuade.

Uppsatsen syftar till att studera vilka förutsättningarna är för de anställda att känna arbetstillfredsställelse på de två företag som jag gjort min undersökning på. Jag tittar också på hur de anställda och cheferna upplever situationen på arbetsplatsen. Jag tittar vidare på vad cheferna på respektive avdelning tror gör att man känner arbetstillfredsställelse.Jag har gjort min fallstudie på Råby ungdomshem och på Lunds barnhem. På Råby ungdomshem har jag studerat två avdelningar för att se om de avdelningarna skiljer sig från varandra på något sätt. Avdelningarna var Albogården och Åsbogården.

In this report female farmers use of technical equipment is investigated. There is little research made on this subject in Sweden, therefore this report can be seen as an explorative study. Research makes it clear that machinery, throughout history and even today, has been seen as a male area. Heavy machines are often associated with the same attributes as masculinity. Force, power, efficiency and control are some examples.

ABSTRACTEssay in political science, C-level by Cecilia HolmbergSpring semester 2006, Tutor: Arne Larsson- Ideological similarities between the Swedish Socialdemocratic and the Swedish conservative party- An idealanalysis of different political issuesThe purpose of this essay is to examine wheater the political ideologies have lost their importance in the Swedish political system. The study will focus on the ideological similarities or differences between the two largest parties in Sweden, the socialdemocratic and the conservative party. Therefore, the main research question is:? Are there any ideological similarities or differences between the socialdemocratic and the conservative party?To be able to answer this question, I have used Herbert Tingsten?s idealanalysis. This type of analysis examines how someone, in this case a political party, describes reality.

Arbete med Ständig förbättring har blivit en allt vanligare arbetsmetod inom dagens verkstadsindustrier. Arbete med Ständig förbättring handlar idag inte enbart om att förbättra produkter och arbetsprocesser utan är även ett sätt att ta vara på och utveckla medarbetarnas kunskaper i arbetet.I denna uppsats har jag valt att studera arbete med Ständig förbättring utifrån medarbetarens perspektiv och vad denna arbetsform har inneburit för industriarbetares utveckling av sitt yrkeskunnande i ett företag. Studien har formen av en fallstudie med halvstrukturerade intervjuer som datainsamlingsmetod.Studiens resultat visar att förbättringsarbetet bidragit till individens utveckling av sitt yrkeskunnande genom möjligheter att kombinera teori och praktik i arbetet samt genom en ökad kunskap om vikten av samarbete i arbetet.Förbättringsarbetet har även bidragit till en större förståelse för arbetsprocessen samt en större noggrannhet och ansvarskänsla i arbetet. Hög produktionstakt och svårigheter med att identifiera problem i arbetet har dock visat sig försvåra intervjupersonernas utveckling av sitt yrkeskunnande.Förbättringsarbetets låga prioritet vid hög produktionstakt, samt begränsade möjligheter till delaktighet då det gäller målformulering och riktlinjer för företagets verksamhet, påverkar således individens motivation och engagemang i arbetet..

The aim of this study is to enlighten how todays working environment affects young individuals descriptions of how to reach success in work life, now often titled as ?career?. Our purpose has been to analyse how the term career is constituted discursively among young people in jobs characterized by flexibility. The study is based on six qualitative interviews with young adults in the media industry, all between 20-30 years old. By utilising a Foucaultdian discourse analysis we want to expose how the competing and dominating discourses, that our interviewees? statements are based on, can be associated with a wider social context.  The study reveals that our interviewees describe career in two separate ways, both positively and negatively.

This is a qualitative study whit purpose of showing how teachers work whit students in need of special support in school. The purpose has been to study what teachers mean whit special aid, and if the support is individually adapted for each students needs. I have trougt interviews, observations and examinations of diverse documents found paradoxes where teachers and the scool leaders claim that they work whit the integration of all the students at school, while the teality shows a different picture. I have found a clear segregation of students, where they have on repeated occasions had to leave the classroom to receive tuition. The school stuff has a wide iiew of wich students are included in the term "students in need of special tuition".

In the dog-human relationship humans are the ones who provide the dog with safety and comfort. Ainsworth's Strange Situation Procedure (ASSP), which was originally developed in humans to study the relationship between mothers and infants, has been modified to investigate the emotional bond research dogs have to a familiar person. Twelve research dogs were tested to investigate whether the dogs performed any behaviours indicating a secure-base effect, such as more exploration and play in the presence of a familiar person and proximity-seeking behaviours when this person is or has been absent. In the ASSP the dog enters a room with a familiar person, is introduced to a stranger, is left alone for a short period of time and experiences moments of separation and reunion. A second variation of the ASSP was added where the familiar person was replaced by another, to the dog, unfamiliar person.

The purpose of this study is to examine how the work with young people at home to care and accommodation (HVB) are organized in a municipality outside Karlstad and how the staff perceive emotions in the workplace.

This essay in historical archaeology deals with cultural-historical values of buildings and inthis case the old train- and ferrystation in Helsingborg. The building has from the day of itsopening in 1898 been exposed to threats of demolition since its original purpose was as atemporary building with intension of being replaced within a couple of years. After havingseen two World Wars, eventhough Sweden never participated, and the ferrytraffic with its upsand downs the station was an important part of Helsingborg. All the ferrytraffic over the straitto Denmark was handeled by the old train- and ferrystation untill 1955, when a competativeferrycompany was built close to the old station.

This essay deals with the various difficulties that can arise in conversations and meetings with parents and colleagues in the preschool world. The essay is based on two self-perceived stories that culminate in dilemmas that are difficult to assess, where our own actions come into question.The purpose of this essay is to gain a greater understanding and awareness of why we become insecure when our communication with others fails. Our research questions assist us in gaining an understanding that our own and others' behavior in meetings and conversations can be influenced by past experience, ourvalues and our emotions. This means, for example, that we must be aware that our values - ideal images, functions as both our guide and trip wires. We must also bear in mind that our ability to manage our own emotional reactions is  significant when it comes to facing our own and others' feelings.

Uppsatsen baseras på en studie på en förskoleenhet bestående av tre förskolor, vilka angripit problematiken kring sjukskrivningar genom ett projekt, i syfte att skapa en friskare arbetsplats.Det empiriska arbetet grundar sig på tretton intervjuer bland de anställda på förskolorna och dessa analyseras med hjälp av Anthony Giddens, Ulrich Becks analyser av det samtida risksamhället samt Bosse Angelöw, Christina Maslach och Michael P. Leiters teorier om arbetsplatsens påverkan på individers välmående.I uppsatsen försöker jag besvara vad som orsakar psykisk ohälsa på en arbetsplats, vad intervjupersonerna anser psykisk ohälsa är och hur projektet fungerat. Intervjupersonerna har lyft fram arbetsbelastning som en viktig faktor för att motverka psykisk ohälsa i arbetslivet. I projektets regi har två personer anställts till en pool, med effekten att vikarier finns att tillgå då ordinariepersonal är frånvarande, men även för att garantera gemensam planeringstid för avdelningarna samt reflektionstid.Projektet har varit väldigt uppskattat bland samtliga intervjupersoner. Somliga har menat att ännu mer kan göras, men samtidigt sagt att det är en god start.
