The purpose of this Master?s thesis is to investigate the library needs of fourteen-to-fifteen-year-olds. We have limited the investigation to the significance of libraries for the teenagers in their leisure time. Our focus is the public library with a particular reference to the plans for a new local public library with a youth profile in Malmö. With a departure point in the idea that young people?s use and view of libraries is to a large extent depending on factors such as social and cultural background and lifestyle, we chose to do a qualitative interview study with eight teenagers.

Denna fallstudie beskriver hur kunskap tar sig i uttryck och sprids mellan medarbetare på Nordeas telefonbank för privatkunder i Uppsala. För att analysera hur kunskap sprids har Nonakas SEKI modell för kunskapsöverföring använts som beskriver hur kunskap kan spridas genom fyra olika kanaler: socialisering, externalisering, internalisering och kombinering. Resultatet bygger på en kvantitativ enkätundersökning där 32 medarbetare deltog samt en kvalitativ intervju med Nordea Uppsalas personalchef och utbildningssamordnare. Innan undersökningen genomfördes formulerades tre hypoteser i avsikt att utreda 1) Om majoriteten av kunskapen som sprids mellan respondenterna i urvalet är implicit 2) Om det finns en skillnad mellan hur män och kvinnor tar till sig och sprider kunskap och 3) Om medarbetare med längre erfarenhet besitter mer implicit kunskap. Resultatet visar att majoriteten av den kunskap som sprids är Explicit, att det finns en skillnad mellan hur män och kvinnor tar till sig och sprider kunskap och att medarbetare med längre erfarenhet besitter mer implicit kunskap.

The swedish law of contract is fundamental within several civil law areas, among others labour law. The labour law contains more Explicit legislation specificly adapted to the relation between employers and employees. Sometimes the labour law needs to rely on more general regulations, such as the law of contract. When the situation contains a specific contract relation dilemma it is logical to use the law of contract, when for example the law of employee protection does not reach an acceptabel solution.Transfer of undertaking is a situation were the employee protection is disregarded. The Euro directive 2001/23/EG prescribes, by its implemented rules in the law of employee protection, that rights and duties, such as employement agreements, passes on to the earner of the business.

Because of the globalization of society, English as a foreign language (EFL) has become easier to access through internet and outside school English activities, so called ?extramural English activities? (EEA). Previous research indicates a positive relation between pupils? EFL vocabulary development and EEA (Sundqvist, 2009). This development may influence teachers? lesson planning, because of pupils? wide span of interests and the resulting different levels of EFL vocabulary.

?I denna studie studeras en organisation som förmedlar sina värderingar Explicit.Många organisationer inom såväl privat som offentlig sektor väljer offentliggöra vilka värderingar som präglar organisationens arbete. Vad som sällan framgår är vad dessa värderingar innebär för den anställde. Det är mot denna bakgrund som studiens syfte arbetats fram. Studiens syfte är att undersöka vilken funktion organisationens Explicita värderingar fyller i det vardagliga arbetet.I studien har sex intervjuer genomförts med anställda inom en organisation som gjort sina värderingar publika.

Islamic masculinity which quite often associates with oppression of women has remained an underexaminated category despite its constant presence in the debate on honour related oppression. Honour has primarily been studied from a feminine point of view and theories of masculinity have taken insignificant interest in the issue of honour. The aim of this study is to understand what attitudes boys/young men from the Muslim world have toward native Swedish men and what these attitudes do imply for their own conceptions of masculinity and honour. The ambition of this study is also to make Explicit the similarities, differences and connections between honour and masculinity.The empirical basis of this study consists of twelve interviews with boys/young men from the Muslim world about their notions of honour and masculinity. The theoretical platform arises from theories of masculinities and honour.Some prominent ?patterns? that I have found:- That religious norms and rules appear to be significant in how the masculine manners of conduct should be adjusted.- That honour and women as carriers of men?s honour, play a crucial role for the constitution of proper masculinity.- That the Swedish context and its policy of equality seem to threaten the obviousness of the islamic masculinity.

The aim of this Masters thesis is to deepen the understanding of how society affects literary criticism by studying the reception of two Swedish dystopian novels and their contemporary anchorage. The questions that we answer here are concerned with how critics have drawn parallels between the novels and events occurring in the contemporary society, and how the critics outlook on the future are connected to ideas about the future in the novels. The first novel, Kallocain 1940 by Karin Boye has been interpreted as a critical statement directed towards totalitarian ideologies. The second novel, After the Flood 1982 by P C Jersild, has been seen as a warning against nuclear warfare. This qualitative study is based on 41 reviews from Swedish daily press.

EMU införandet den 1 januari 1999 gjorde att den bilaterala växelkursen mellan EMU medlemsländerna var oåterkalleligt fixerad och de deltagande länderna började dela en gemensam valutapolicy, som styrs av ECB (Europeiska centralbanken), med Explicit mål att skydda prisstabiliteten. Det betyder att 12 EMU medlemsländerna delar en gemensam växelkurs vis-à-vis resten av världen. Eftersom tidigare forskning inte givit något entydigt svar på sambandet mellan företagsvärde och valutariskexponering anser vi att det finns ett intresse av att utreda frågan ytterligare. EMU-inträdet bör ha effekter på valutariskexponering hos företag med utländska aktiviteter, därför har vi valt att analysera de svenska exportföretagen och EMU-inträdets möjliga effekter vad gäller dessa företags valutariskexponering. Den här uppsatsen analyserar effekten av växelkursstabilisering efter EMU inträdet på valutariskexponering hos de stora svenska exportföretagen.

Syftet med undersökningen är att redogöra för generationsskifte utifrån ett Explicit identitetsperspektiv. Vilken roll spelar individers identitet i generationsskiftet inom ett svenskt familjeföretag? Familjeföretaget utgör en förlängning av familjen själva och därmed en stor del av deras individuella identiteter. Att tillhöra ägarfamiljen medför att individerna upplever ett ansvar gentemot företaget på samma sätt som föräldrar känner ett ansvar gentemot sina barn. Det skapas från omgivningen förväntningar på familjemedlemmar som påverkar individens beslut.

The services should be compatiblewith different manufacture?smachines.

Denna uppsatas syftade till att observera och undersöka processer kring läsförståelse i klassrum där lärare och elever gemensamt skapar mening kring texter. Studien sökte svar på vilka textrörlighetsdiskurser som kan identifieras i gemensamma textsamtal och hur samtal kring läsförståelsestrategierinitieras och utvecklas i dialoger. Undersökningen omfattade observationer och ljudinspelningar av gemensamma textsamtal vid sex lektionstillfällen. Två klasser vid två olika skolor observerades. En i årskurs 4 och en i årskurs 5.

Delegation of assignments regarding the work environment is a complex topic that is difficult to illustrate. It is not Explicit mentioned in the law and the established practice are ambiguous and vague. This has caused a lot of confusion, not only for private companies but also for executives within public administration.Metso paper Karlstad Inc. gave us the assignments to investigate their delegation system and to analyze the need of change before a planed readjustment. The purpose of this essay is therefore to investigate how the proposed delegation system is constructed and whether it fulfills the demands established by Swedish law.

Studiens övergripande syfte är att åskådliggöra vad elever skriver om när de skriver berättelser. Undersökningen bygger på texter producerade av två klasser i årskurs ett som analyserats utifrån ett analysschema. Detta analysschema bygger på de frågeställningar som är karaktäristiska för en narrativ textanalys. Studien redogör för vilka karaktärer, miljöer, känslor och övergripande teman som kan avläsas i berättelserna. Dessutom framhålls skillnader samt likheter mellan pojkar och flickors innehåll.

The connection between management control systems for controlling sustainability and a firm's motivation for engaging in sustainability is not completely understood (Arjaliès & Mundy, 2013). The aim of this thesis is to develop a more profound understanding for management control in achieving sustainable companies. To do this, we raise the question: How and to what extent do companies use management control systems to achieve sustainability compliance Simons's Levers of Control (1995) are applied to this question in order to get a consistent and thorough insight of management control systems. Hence, a case study of ABB:s work to achieve material compliance in accordance with EU-regulation was conducted. The findings of the case study reveal that ABB uses the regulations as Explicit goals and implement them in sustainability procedures.
