Förtroende är en förutsättning i olika former av samspel mellan aktörer. Inom hälso- och sjukvården kan ett förändrat förtroende påverka hur individen söker vård och därmed leda till effekter på individens hälsotillstånd. Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka förtroendet för hälso- och sjukvården i Region Skåne. Det görs genom en ekonometrisk analys av data från Vårdbarometern, en omfattande undersökning över befolkningens uppfattning av hälso- och sjukvården. Förtroendet för tre olika vårdproducenter; husläkare/distriktsläkare, akutmottagning och privat specialistläkare/läkarhus undersöks utifrån socioekonomiska och demografiska bakgrundsfaktorer.

Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att med utgångspunkt i den regionaliseringsprocess som idag äger rum i Europa, undersöka samt analysera hur regionaliseringens förändrade drivkrafter påverkar människors möjlighet att identifiera sig med denna regionalisering. För att illustrera detta har en empirisk studie av Region Skåne ur ett aktörsperspektiv genomförts, där fokus har legat på att framhäva mänskliga aspekter som identitet i motsats till de ekonomiska beträffande EU:s utveckling och mål om sammanhållning. För att undersöka detta har intervjuer och litteraturstudier genomförts, där företrädare för Region Skåne samt Sydsvenska Industri- och Handelskammaren utgjort respondenter för intervjuerna. Undersökningens resultat har sedan i uppsatsens avslutande diskussion relaterats till teorier om flödessamhället, regionalisering och identitet. En för uppsatsen central konklusion är att bristen på medborgerlig förankring i regionaliseringsprocessen riskerar att skapa en polarisering mellan platsrum och flödesrum.

Recent years there has been discussed how the critical situation in the housing market threatens the Stockholm region's growth. The thesis objective is to examine whether there is a scientific link between the lack of housing supply and growth. The thesis also intends to identify solutions for increased housing construction, for instance by examining the conditions for a greater regional perspective and influence on the region's housing supply. The thesis empirical study is based on semi-structured interviews with representatives from the Government, municipalities and the housing industry.In Sweden, research on the relationship between housing shortages and growth has not been conducted to that extent it can be said to exist scientific evidence regarding the growth threat. However, in Britain and the U.S, empirical studies show that a lack of housing supply has hindered growth through negative impact on countries' gross domestic product.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka varu-märkeslagets samstämmighet i synen på utvalda områden i byggandet av Skånes varumärke. Vi finner att den interna samstämmigheten inom värderingarna inom Region Skåne överlag är god, men behöver förbättras när det gäller strategin för hur visionerna för varumärket skall förverkligas. Genom att applicera den korporativa varumärkesteorin på Region Skåne finner vi även att denna har ett förklaringsvärde när det gäller att förstå och analysera en regions process med att bygga ett varumärke..

The purpose of this examination paper has been to examine the situation for Swedish as a Second Language Programs in relationship to their interaction with the parents of the stu-dents. This case study was performed at two schools in the county of Stockholm. A com-parative analysis of both national and local documents for school governance was used to analyse the contents for incidents of parental involvement in schooling. Furthermore, qualitative semi-structured interviews were carried out with five staff-members holding key positions. The findings of the study are that schools tend to practice parental involve-ment only to the level that it is recommended in the national documents.

Problemområde Problemområdet i studien är det eventuella sambandet mellan konjunktur och Ohälsotalet inom den offentliga sektorn. Genom att studera detta är syftet att förstå vilken påverkan konjunkturen har på Ohälsotalet samt vilket eventuellt motivationsteoretiskt samband som går att urskilja. Metod För att genomföra en statistisk datainsamling inom området har den kvantitativa datan utgått från tidigare insamlad statistik från Statistiska Centralbyrån (SCB), Försäkringskassan (FK) och Konjunkturinstitutet (KI). Statistiken har varit grunden i den kvantitativa undersökningsmetod som använts i studien. Data som undersökts är inte insamlad av författarna och ses således som sekundärdata från andra statistiska undersökningar.

In January 2007 the Öresund committy changed its statutes to become a more politically oriented lobby organization. This change can be interpreted as one part of a continuously evolving process where the Öresund region is emancipating itself from the national states in a multi-level European environment. By focusing on this latest development the thesis puts forward the importance of political institutions, as well as politicians and civil servants as actors in them, as crucial factors in the process where the region is gaining political power. The thesis shows how the political cross-border cooperation in the Öresund region is being institutionalized which affects its power relations to other levels in the multi-level system, predominantly the national states. In other words, there is a connection between power and institutionalization.The Öresund committee has by gaining better access to policymaking agendas on the national levels proven that the organizational change has already started to bear fruit.

We have a business proposal. Instead of the consumers visit the country side in order to purshase we are interested in starting a shop with only regional produced products in the city. We have our base in a part of Sweden called Östergötland, therefore we have investigated the market for such a store in Östergötlands biggest city, called Linköping. The conclusion is that the store must sell food produced in the region. Another conlusion is that the store must be located near a bigger supermarket. Our main selling points are quality and that the food is produced in the near region.

This study focuses on nationalism in Central and Eastern Europe. Anchored in theories that this region historically has been characterized by a nationalism that is based on the ethnic group rather than on liberal or civic concepts, it is the purpose of this study to explore whether these theories still apply in recent times when the region has been liberalized, for example manifested in the entry to the European Union. The research question has been tested through analysis of the constitutions of a number of Central and Eastern European countries in order to investigate what type of nationalism that the states have codified in their basic political documents. The results show that some of the states give expression to the historical ethnic nationalism in their constitutions, which indicates that the theories still are relevant..

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the political ambitions regarding culture inVärmland, and the situation for artists living on the countryside in Värmland. This meansthat the conditions surronding the artists situation will be looked upon. I have chosen thepolitical document Kulturplanen, created by Region Värmland, as my guideline to whatkind of political view there is on art and cultures role in the region. Furthermore, I havechosen Pierre Bourdieu`s theory about art as a field controlled by and under the influenceof different rules within the filed itself and what or whom has the power to act and be apart of the filed. I also use interviews as my method for this study.
