I denna uppsats analyseras de två tidningarna Glamour och King Magazine för att se till hurgenusrepresentationen syns på dess omslag och om det finns några eventuella likheter ochskillnader mellan en tidning riktad till kvinnor (Glamour) och en tidning riktad till män(King).Syftet med analysen är att se till de olika budskapen för genusrepresentation samtidigt somsyftet är att undersöka de olika stereotyper som finns kring män och kvinnor i dagenssamhälle och jämföra dessa mot omslagen för tidningarna.Studien innehåller teorier från bland annat R.W Connell och hans föreställningar kring blandannat den hegemoniska maskuliniteten, men också övriga teorier kring genusrepresentationfrån personer som bland annat Gunilla Jarlbro, Eva-Lena Hedvall och David Gauntlett.Studien bygger i sin analys på en retorisk modell med fokus på omslagens kompositionmellan bland annat text och bild.Resultatet visar på en stereotypifiering av män och kvinnor för tidningsomslagen, där kvinnorförefaller som underordnade i sin representation medan männen besitter stor makt vilket visarsig i form av en jämförelse. Detta överensstämmer med teorierna kring de olika ideal somförekommer kring män och kvinnor..

Jag har i mitt examensarbete gjort en kollektion kläder till den fiktiva Madame Brilliant, baserad på färgstarka personligheter som bl. a Anna Piaggi och Elsa Schiaparelli. Slår man upp ?glamourös? i en svensk-fransk ordbok finner man glamourös heta brilliant och det är just glamour mitt examensarbete handlar om, vardagsglamour.Jag har till Madame Brilliant skapat drömgarderoben. De plagg den excentriska kvinnan alltid drömmer om men aldrig hittar ute i butikerna; Färgstarka feminina kappor, klänningar och hattar att bära till vardags.Jag har i mitt arbete lagt stor vikt på färgkombinationerna, därför är stylingen och de små detaljerna mycket viktiga.

The purpose of this thesis is to study how femininity and masculinity is portraited in theeditorials of four Swedish lifestyle magazines; Glamour, Cosmopolitan, Moore and Slitz. Themain questions we based our study on are: What kind of relationship does the editor in chiefcreate with the intended reader? What conception of the world does the editor in chief createin the editorials? How does the editor in chief portray masculinity and femininity?In order to answer the questions above we performed a qualitative analysis of the editorials offour lifestyle magazines published during 2007. We used a discourse analysis with emphasison gender and how the editorials constructed masculinity and femininity and its stereotypicaltraits.Furthermore we based our results on a theory of the socially constructed gender. According tothis theory gender is constructed during our childhood and adolescense by the individuals andthe society surrounding us.

The aim of this study is to examine the information behavior of younger seniors with a special focus on the Internet. Using a qualitative method consisting of a case study, including observations, diaries, questionnaires, and information diaries, we were able to compare the information behavior of the seniors in their use of the Internet, with the information behavior in their everyday life. The result of the study shows that the respondents led very active lives and used many different information sources in everyday life. They did not only seek information, but also assimilated it, often with a purpose to mediate it to other people. The motives behind the information use in everyday life were mainly connected to their life situations.

Yahtzee is a popular dice game around the world. The complexity makes the game interesting to play and analyze. This report compares the effectiveness of the mathematically optimal strategy with a strategy that can be used for casual play. The rules used are those of the Nordic variant Yatzy, in which a few but important rules are different from the American Yahtzee. To evaluate the everyday strategy 100,000 games was simulated in a java program written specifically for this purpose.

The aim of this study was to design short interventions based on the literature study, which will change the pupils? posture on mathematics and connections between problem-solving in mathematics and everyday life.

The intervention was measured in a pre- and after questionnaire, in order to control the design and discover possible changes in the pupils? posture on mathematics and connections between problems and everyday life.

Abstrakt Titel:                                               Glamour, egokickar och lite bistånd                                           - En studie om hur vi blev viktigare än dom andra Författare:                                    Josefine Nilsman & Johanna Olsson Syfte:                                              Syftet med uppsatsen är att se hur en svensk      biståndskampanj påverkar gestaltningen av vilka vi i västvärlden är och vilka dom andra i utvecklingsländerna är. Metod:                                           Kritisk diskursanalys och semiotisk analys. Teori:                                              Postkolonialism med orientalism som teoretisk   fördjupning samt strategisk kommunikation för ideella organisationer. Material:                                       Unicefs insamlingskampanj För varenda unge, 2011. Huvudslutsatser:                       Unicefs kampanj För varenda unge bidrar till både diskursiva och konkreta gestaltningar av vi och dom. De diskursiva gestaltningarna har vi sammanfattat i fyra huvudsakliga diskurser, nämligen marknadsföringsdiskursen, underhållningsdiskursen, förenklingsdiskursen samt fattigdomsdiskursen. Konsekvensen av dessa diskursers gestaltning kan bli att kunskapsklyftan mellan eliten och allmänheten vidgas, att insamlingskampanjer riskerar att motarbeta biståndsorganisationers huvudsyfte samt att dessa kampanjer bidrar till att upprätthålla rådande politiska strukturer och kulturella identiteter. Universitet:                                 Medie- och Kommunikationsvetenskap, Linnéuniversitetet Termin:                                          Vårtermin 2011 Handledare:                                Göran Palm Examinator:                               Tanya Elder                Nyckelord:                                    Postkolonialism, Orientalism, Strategisk kommunikation, Vi och Dom, Diskursanalys, Semiotisk analys, Unicef.

The purpose of this paper is to increase knowledge and understanding of how an identity is constructed on the internet and if it is different from the everyday identity. To analyze this, I have studied the theories of how identity is constructed in everyday life and then applied this on the empirical data that I have collected. In this study, I have chosen to pursue a qualitative approach using semi-structured interviews to gather the empirical data. In the study, six informants participated and all of them has an active social life both on and off the internet. The results that I have found in this study shows that an identity online is constructed in a similar way as it does in real life, however, some limitations that exist in everyday life do not exist online.

Utbudet av tidningar är idag brett. Inom tidskriftsbranschen konkurrerar magasinen om konsumenternas uppmärksamhet i hopp om att konsumenterna ska köpa just deras tidning. En faktor som kan påverka dem att konsumera är omslagets utseende. För tidningsmakare gäller det att utforma ett attraktivt omslag vad gäller bild, färg och textpuffar. Omslagets utseendet är av stor betydelse för lösnummerförsäljningen, vilken i sin tur utgör en stor del av tidningsupplagan.Syftet med undersökningen är att undersöka utseendet på fyra modemagasins omslag.

In speech and language intervention, the ability to interact is seldom evaluated; rather intervention is evaluated in terms of improved testresults.  If goal-setting in intervention also is based on everyday communicative needs, the relevance of the treatment may be increased and intervention outcome may be implemented in the patient?s natural environment.The present study, as part of a research-project, is based on analyses of interaction and interviews to examine everyday conversations and speech and language intervention. The aim was to explore if there is a relation between everyday communication needs and goal-setting in speech and language intervention for people with aphasia. A further aim was to investigate if there are everyday communicative needs that may form goals for speech and language intervention.Two individuals with aphasia and one individual with both dysarhtria and aphasia participated in the study. Three speech and language pathologists and two relatives also participated in the study.
