The purpose of this essay was to examine the role of the acquisition of the Swedish language for integration of adult immigrants given by the seven parties currently in the parliament and other players on the field. The questions were meant to bring light upon the arguments used by the different players concerning the role of the Swedish language, to enlighten which discourses that are constructed, and the contradictions that exist between these. We parted from a postmodern position and used social constructionism to back up our method and theory of analysis; discourse theory. The results revealed three different discourses concerning the role of the Swedish language in the integration process; the liberal discourse, the discrimination discourse and the social democratic discourse. The liberal discourse claims that immigrants have a responsibility to learn Swedish to be able to achieve employment and to provide for themselves.

Att ha attityder grundade i rationella tankar uppfattas som mer önskvärdän att ha attityder som är grundade i externa faktorer. Människor ärbenägna att uppfatta individer som håller med dem som mer rationellaoch mindre externt influerade i sina preferenser än individer som intehåller med. Construal Level Theory förutsätter högre psykologiskdistans för med sig ökad bias. Högstatusindivider har en högrepsykologisk distans vilket leder till ökad bias. I studien undersöks hurpsykologisk distans och individens benägenhet att tolka världen naivt,utifrån eget perspektiv, inverkar på mellangruppsattributioner.Resultaten visar att deltagarna skattar preferenserna av de som harsamma åsikt i en fråga som mer rationella än dem som har motsatt åsikt,och att maktposition leder till ökad bias.

För företag i det moderna samhället är nyckeln till framgångsrik marknadsföring en förmåga att kunna sälja in produkter, tjänster och budskap och att kunna göra det på ett sådant vis att de sticker ut ur mängden bland andra företag som syftar till att göra samma sak. Ett sätt att uppnå detta är genom att använda sig av kända människor för att lyfta fram det som marknadsförs. Åtskillig forskning har bedrivits kring denna marknadsföringsmetod. Detta arbete har undersökt hur och om användandet av kändisar påverkar ett varumärkes status hos mottagarna. Den tidigare forskningen kring marknadsföring med hjälp av kändisar har mest kretsat kring effektiviteten av sådan marknadsföring.

The aim of this thesis is to make a comparison between solitary graves and graves in grave fields from the Roman Iron Age on Gotland, Sweden. Differences in burial customs, morphology, dating, gender, age, grave-goods and social status are compared between 19 solitary graves and graves in three different grave fields in different parts of Gotland. An attempt is made to explain these differences and to discuss which functions the solitary graves had. Discussions about whether it is possible to distinguish social status and gender with the help of grave-goods are also made in connection to the determination of status and sex..

Complex Vertebral Malformation (CVM) is an autosomal recessive inherited defect in the Holstein breed. The defect has lead to structurally malformed calves and losses of pregnancies. To determine the effect of CVM on fertility in the Swedish Holstein Breed 375 Holstein bulls used in breeding by Svensk Avel and Skånesemin were assigned to this study. 228 bulls matched the criteria of birth year, 1995-1999, > 75 inseminations and a known CVM-status. Of the total 228 bulls 53 of them were CVM-carriers and 175 were non-carriers. The SAS-programme was used to determine the effects of CVM-status, the bull?s father and birth year on Non-return rates (NRR) for 28, 56 and 168 days.

Studiens syfte är att få en ökad förståelse för hur makt och status påverkar unga tjejers identitetsskapande. Hur ser unga tjejer på sina egna möjligheter att påverka det som är förenat med identitetsskapande? Har samhället en stor betydelse, eller är det framförallt kompisar och vänner som har den största betydelsen för identitetsskapandet? Vilken betydelse har genus? Vi gjorde en fältstudie där vi intervjuade sammanlagt tretton tjejer från två skolor i en större stad i Sverige. Fem av tjejerna gick på en kommunal skola med över tvåtusen elever och de andra åtta gick på en friskola med hundrasjuttio elever. Vi genomförde intervjuerna genom att använda oss av fokusgrupper.

The knowledge of early employment experiences has evolved over the last decade in countries such as Australia and Great Britain. In Sweden, this type of research is still unusual and the aim of this study was to break new ground by highlighting some areas that could be of extra interest in the Swedish early employment research to come. A focus in the study was to give an overview of what job sectors school students work in; and the amount of jobs aquired through school-organized work placement, private social networks or personal marketing of own merits. In addition to this, a multi variate analysis was carried out to find patterns in the picture of early employment experiences among students at upper secondary school. The findings of the study has relevance for ways of conducting career counselling and therefore the general aim of this study is to point out the importance of developing the practises of vocational psychology.A survey among 74 teenaged school students with economics as their main subject has been carried out in a mid-size Swedish city May 2012.

Sweden's contribution to the world today is not labor-intensive industry, it is high technology and know-how. Many of the rules concerning employment security for the workers derived from the industrial era and have been to some extent modified by hand. This paper focuses on the discrepancy between the purpose of the priority rules in Swedish law and how it works in the reality. My opinion is that due to the development of the labor market, a powerful revision of priority rules is needed. In addition to today's job market is knowledge-intensive I point in the paper at a number of factors that contributed to the loosening of the priority rules. Examples of these are the increased incidence of temporary staffing, more open markets and more multinational companies, political will to disadvantaged groups in the labor market should be prepared job and gender issues.
