Agila arbetsmetoder har uppkommit ur utvecklingsprojekt av mjukvara inom it-branschen. Det behövdes ett mer flexibelt sätt att arbeta än vad som var fallet i traditionell projektledning. Det gällde att kunna förändra planen efter förutsättningar som ändrades under projektets gång. Inom eventprojekt måste olika aspekter fungera för att resultatet ska bli lyckat och även här måste en projektledare vara beredd på att förutsättningarna förändras. Detta gjorde att vi blev intresserade av att undersöka hur agila arbetssätt går att använda för människor som arbetar med eventprojekt.Förklaringen till att vi valde Europamästerskapet i fotboll för damer 2013 för vår fallstudie är ett stort idrottsintresse, samt att vi kände till att den allmänna uppfattningen är att det var ett lyckat event.

The establishment of loan-based structures within a group of associated enterprises with the purpose of lowering the group's taxes by using deductible interest payments to transfer money has become increasingly popular in Sweden during the past few years. The legislator has therefore implemented new laws which restrict the amount of interest payments that are deductible within a group of associated enterprises. As a consequence the definition of associated enterprises has become of high importance. The definition has been criticized and is perceived by many as vague and difficult to interpret. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the definition of associated enterprises in Swedish tax law with the aim of clarifying its scope and meaning.

AIMThis thesis purpose is to fill a knowledge gap of research into football-related violence and media. The objective is to create an understanding of how football-related violence is portrayed in the Swedish tabloids Aftonbladet and Expressen.METHODTo reach the desideratum we used a qualitative content analysis of 198 articles concerning football-related violence. To analyse the results we used theories regarding ?Framing?, ?the three ?I?s and the ?Stigma-theory?.MAIN RESULTSThe result from the initial analysis showed a heavy reliance on ?frames? by media outlets. This tended to make the news seem more sensational, dramatized and subsequently more readable than it otherwise would have been.

This project is a study in how to represent the Swedish magician and variety artist Carl-Einar Häckner in a web-based environment. With a starting point focusing on illustration I wanted to produce a web environment that would function as a prototype for a webpage. My personal aim was to explore and gain new experiences from working in a digital interactive environment. I wanted to use animation and illustration to create an atmosphere and communicate emotions, and in the end find out a way of how to integrate that with a more text based content. The project is a personal project based on my interpretation of the work of Carl-Einar Häckner and an effort to translate Häckners expression and the emotions he evokes in his variety shows into image..

Företag har sedan länge lagt bud på andra företag för att expandera och stabilisera sig på andra marknader eller branscher. När dessa budgivningar började kunde även noteringar ske på statliga byråer för att investerare skulle få tillgång till denna information.Uppsatsens syfte är att ta reda på hur börsnoterade företagsaktier reagerar på budgivningar från andra företag. Genom inhämtning från Skatteverkets databas har vi tagit reda på vilka företag som haft budgivningar och därefter gjort en event studie på hur aktiepriset och omsättningen av företagen blivit påverkade. Event studien har gjorts tio dagar före budgivningen och tio dagar efter för att ta fram den genomsnittliga aktiekursen och omsättningen för respektive företag.Det som vi kunde konstatera var att resultatet hade en mer negativt utveckling än positiv på både aktiepriset omsättningen av aktier för alla företag. Varför man hade en mer negativ utveckling är svår att säga eftersom antalet företag var för få och man inte hade gjort en analys bland investerarna.

Although textbooks are scientifically proven that they are important and central to the school curriculum one should think critically about the content in textbooks - is it really compatible with the curriculum of following the textbook tradition?

A teacher examines many sections/topics in the textbooks, but in this paper only one section will be reviewed among four different textbooks. The section to be compared, in the paper, is the interwar period.
