The purpose of this dissertation is to examine the occurrence of Scandinavia in the then daily English newspaper Yorkshire Herald during the First World War. The dissertation looks into what the Yorkshire Herald wrote about Scandinavia in the parts of the newspaper where the newspaper´s own opinion was given. This approach is connected to the theoretical idea that the British local and regional press was politically free during the war period. The dissertation also looks into the number of news telegrams etcetera that concerned Scandinavia during the period.The result shows that Scandinavia, both as a whole as well as the three individual countries, was mentioned about 700 times, split over about 600 telegrams and articles, during the examined period stretching from the first of August 1914 to the eleventh of November 1918. Material that gives the newspaper´s opinion regarding issues concerning Scandinavia can be found six times during the period.

Real-time systems are required to answer to external stimuli within a specified time-period. For this to be possible, the systems behaviour must be predictable. The use of active databases in real-time systems introduces unpredictability in the system, e.g. due to their use of active rules. The behaviour in active databases is usually specified in ECA-rules.

Syftet med vår uppsats är att undersöka hur ledningen presenterar styrtekniken Regeringenoch vad som händer med Regeringen när den används av IT-konsulterna.Teori:För att undersöka hur IT-konsulter hanterar och uttalar sig om en styrteknik, Regeringen, harvi valt översättningsmodellen för att studera detta. Som en del i det har vi även använtforskning kring redigering, inskription, lösa kopplingar samt handlingsnät för att undersökahur Regeringen har gjorts stabil hos IT-konsulterna i organisationen. Vi har valt att se ITkonsulternasom en profession för att kunna använda isomorfism för att studera om det finnsen spänning mellan IT-konsulterna, som profession, och styrtekniken Regeringen.Metod:I vår studie har vi intervjuat fem stycken personer där vi fått ta del av deras uttalan och syn påRegeringen. Vidare har vi analyserat fem stycken textdokument som beskriver hur ledningenväljer att presentera Regeringen för IT-konsulterna. Vi har utifrån vårt empiriska materialurskiljt tre huvudrubriker som grundar sig i våra tre frågeställningar.

The purpose of this master thesis is to investigate issues concerning lifelong learning and the role of the public librarian. This is done by examining LärForum Forum for Learning, a project initiated at a public library located outside of Stockholm, with the aim of supporting adults lifelong learning. The major questions raised in this study are: How do the seven librarians interviewed define lifelong learning and how do they perceive their own role in relation to lifelong learning in the public library? Do they work with adult learners in a different way than they do with "ordinary" users of the library? Has their conception of their own role as a public librarian changed as a result of LärForum, and do they find it necessary to acquire new skills because of the project? Data was collected through interviews and observation, and the study is a qualitative case study. The main results are that the librarians see their role in lifelong learning in the public library as self-evident, and they see lifelong learning mostly as learning for an individuals personal development.

The purpose of this study is to examine how employees in an organization using flexible work practices, experience that passive face time influences the evaluated of them. Further, the study aims to understand to what extent that perception of passive face time motivates the employees to spend more time at the office than is necessary for their work situations. The study concludes that employees in general perceive that passive face time does influence how they are evaluated and that this perception motivates employees that are relatively newly employed by the company to spend more time at office..

In a time of increasing urbanization the human tenure effects on the land has lead to a decrease and fragmentation of areas that are valuable to urban wildlife. These actions have had a detrimental effect on the species and habitats that exist in cities and towns.This paper investigates, through the study of relevant literature and the undertaking of interviews and field visits, the role that biodiversity plays in our society. The current attitude towards urban biodiversity and the responsibility for its promotion within the landscape architect profession has been explored.This paper includes three English case studies and a design proposal investigating how one can work to promote biodiversity on a smaller scale.This paper concludes that urban biodiversity is multi-functional ? being of ecological, social and cultural significance. The landscape architecture profession must be aware of the need to combine a variety of different factors such as economical, social and environmental aspects.

This thesis examines why working time preferences differ between workers and nations, and explains the effect of working time regulation and working time flexibility on negotiating work-life balance. In five separate sections the following working time issues are examined: the number of hours worked by workers in Europe; factors affecting individual working time preferences; how working time preferences are negotiated in the national industrial relations systems of Sweden, France and the United Kingdom; how the institutions of the European Union have influenced working time negotiations through the Working Time Directive; and the benefits and practices available to organisations implementing working time flexibility. Broadly this paper views working time preferences as being a highly personal and influenced by factors such as wages, taxation, culture (national and workplace) and non-work responsibilities. It is argued that negotiating a preferred working time pattern is essential to achieving work-life balance and when such a balance is achieved, workers are more healthy, motivated and committed to their employer. Essentially this provides an incentive for businesses to voluntarily implement working time flexibility beyond the regulatory standards..

This paper analyses education regarding its profitability from an individual?s perspective. The method for conducting the analysis is an ex ante cost-benefit analysis and the time period examined is between the days the education begins until retirement age. The conclusions of this paper are that tertiary education is not profitable for an individual given the conditions stated in this examination. Furthermore the longer the education lasts, the more unprofitable it is.

Forskning visar att många yrken kämpar för att få benämnas som professioner. För att kunna klassas som profession krävs det att yrkesutövningen uppfattas som professionell. Detta handlar om sociala konstruktioner som kontinuerligt utsätts för tvivel och omförhandling vilket tyder på att en professionell identitet skapas genom fortgående processer. Tidigare har fokus legat på just profession som ett statiskt begrepp men välfärdssamhällets utveckling har skapat ett behov av att revidera fenomenet till de mer dynamiska begreppen; professionalisering och professionalism.Vi kan se att det finns forskning kring olika yrkens professionaliseringsprocess såsom sjuksköterskor, socionomer, barnmorskor, bibliotekarier med flera men vi saknar en liknande studie över administratörsyrket. Administratörsprogrammet utgör en av utbildningarna på Högskolan i Borås.

During the last years around 100 000 immigrants have arrived to Sweden, people with different reasons and different goals for settling down in Sweden. The reason for immigrating to Sweden that will be dealt with in this thesis is following immigration, i.e. when someone moves here because they have relatives living in the country.The reason why it is interesting to study following immigration is that it is an affecting factor for how many that will immigrate to Sweden the following years and may then be used to make a forecast, based on how many first time immigrants there are. To be able to investigate the following immigration analyses are made with time series, logistic regression and Poisson regression. An ARIMA-model has been used to estimate the number of following immigrants in the future.The other part of this thesis will inquire the matter how inclined immigrants are to become Swedish citizens, whether they even apply for citizenship and also how long time it takes from the time when they fulfil the conditions for Swedish citizenship until they apply.

Vårt syfte har varit att, med stöd av kvalitativa intervjuer samt litteraturstudier, undersöka hur förskollärare uppfattar professionalisering samt sina unika kompetenser. Begreppen profession o?ch k?ompetens utgör grunden för våra val av teoretiska utgångspunkter samt tidigare forskning. Studien har för oss synliggjort att även om förskollärare är positiva till professionalisering så förekommer det ingen djupgående relation till begreppet. Detta kan bero på att professionaliseringen främst har hanterats på en facklig samt statlig nivå och utan större förankring hos förskollärarna själva.
