?this Unpleasent klientel?A study on refugee care in Växjö between the years 1944 and 1947.The purpose of this study was to examine the treatment of sick refugees in Växjö in the 1940s. To achieve this a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods were used. The material found in the local archive and local newspaper was then put together and analyzed from the theoretical perspective, gender, class, ethnicity and social status.The result of this study shows that there were two main treatment wards for refugees, one that was supposed to treat women and children with active tuberculosis and the other ward treated refuges with ?epidemic diseases.? Foreign citizens were also taken care of in other words that were also not meant for refugees only, like the Epidemic hospital, which treated about 80 patients of a foreign nationality between 1944 and 1946.

Purpose: We have three purposes that will answer our problem questions. Our first purpose is to identify how diversification effects for investors changed between emerging markets and developed markets in the period 1996-2010. Our second purpose is to examine the two crises, IT and financial crisis, and if the correlations between these two crises have changed. Our third purpose is to examine to what extent the Swedish stock market was influenced by other markets in the period 1996-2010, the IT and financial crisis.Methodology: The method is based on an analytic model consisting of two tools; Regression- and Correlation analysis. The Regression analysis will be used when investigating if a change in a foreign stock market affects a change on the Swedish stock market.

I föreliggande uppsats har jag undersökt några perceptoriska aspekter på röstens ålder. Dels testades hypotesen att vuxna människor kan uppskatta en vuxen rösts ålder på ±10 år med stimuli bestående av enstaka isolerade ord, och dels undersöktes om det fanns typiska och atypiska talare för sin ålder (dvs talare som lät lika gamla som de var respektive talare som lät betydligt äldre eller yngre än vad de var) genom att värdera lyssnare åldersuppskattningsförmåga för några utvalda talare..

I denna uppsats studeras översättningen av 2x12 meningar från svenska till ryska med hjälp av dataprogrammet ScriptLog. Översättningsuppgiften har genomförts av 5 ryskstudenter på universitetets A-nivå, 5 studenter på C-nivå samt av 2 personer med ryska som modersmål..

The purpose of this study is to examine how teachers and parents are communicating with each other in a foreign area. In case of obstacles in the communication, this study will examine how the preschools create opportunities to solve the problem. This study will also look closely at this relationship from an intercultural communication.This study is based on interviews. My informants are four teachers and four parents, one of the parents is Swedish and the other three have different ethnic and culture backgrounds.This study has reached to several results. The interviews with the teachers have shown that they are unsatisfied with their relationship with the parents because there are two factors that result to their communication difficulties.

The aim of this thesis is to analyze the academic discipline translation studies; the analysis centers upon bibliometric aspects, and is carried out chiefly by means of quantitative methods, enabled by the databases Web of Science and Scopus as well as by the corpus-linguistic software Wordsmith; however, this quantitative focus is complemented by auxiliary qualitative means of investigation, i.e. a discourse-analytically oriented study of a corpus of domain-endemic reviews.A number of core journals are analyzed in order to show what and whom are cited in translation studies, and, furthermore, what adjacent domains hold sway over it; attention is also given to influential authors, regions and languages operating within the domain. It is shown that the domain under scrutiny is quite differentiated, even fragmentary; the term pluricentric is used to describe this tendency towards sprawling. No superior authors (in terms of publication frequency) emerge, which arouses the suspicion that the domain may be conditioned by a hierarchical divide between journals and monographs. Furthermore, it is clear that translation studies is a eurocentric domain: European languages dominate.

Uppsatsen handlar om negationens placering i huvudsats. Min hypotes är att negationens placering ändras under 1500-talet, från fundament till satsadverbialsplats.Undersökningens material består av sju texter, Järteckensboken är den äldsta och Johan Runis: Prosatexter på svenska är den yngsta..

I föreliggande uppsats studeras Ryszard Kapuscinskis bok Ebenholts (sv. 2000). Syftet är att närläsa texten och söka förståelse för de narrativa och berättarmässiga tekniker, som är centrala i förståelsen av Kapuscinski. Teoristoffet grundar sig främst på Arne Melbergs tankar kring reselitteratur i kombination med utvalda delar från det postkoloniala fältet..

Undersökningens syfte är att analysera de viktigaste dragen i den postmodernistiska estetiken, baserat på en läsning av 3 ryska författares verk, samt att klarlägga den ryska postmodernismens särdrag i jämförelse med den västerländska och slutligen reflektera lite grann över postmodernismens framtid. Min hypotes är att den tidiga ryska postmodernismen hade flera drag gemensamma med modernismen, medan den sena postmodernismen närmar sig realismen..

The Swedish group contribution rules do not include a right to deduction for cross-border group contributions unless the receiving company is taxable in Sweden. There has been much discussion regarding whether the rules are compatible with EC law. On 11 March 2009 the Swedish Supreme Administrative Court ruled ten cases concerning the right to deduction for cross-border group contributions. In three of these judgments deduction for a group contribution from a Swedish parent company to a foreign subsidiary within the EEA was allowed, despite that the subsidiary was not taxable in Sweden. The main purpose of this master thesis is to analyse whether the interpretation of the Supreme Administrative Court concerning the right to deduction for cross-border group contributions is compatible with EC law.

Den här uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka hur funktionell grammatik kan svara mot det som dagens grammatikundervisning brister i och efterfrågar. Uppsatsen presenterar genom en litteraturgenomgång synen på dagens grammatikundervisning, dess bakrund, argument och strävansmål. Dessutom innehåller uppsatsen en presentation av Michael Hallidays funktionella grammatik och dess möjliga tillämpning i skolundervisningen och vid textanalys. Avslutningsvis förs en kort diskussion kring funktionell grammatik och en meningsfull grammatikundervisning..

Det är många elever i vår skola som förknippar svenskundervisningen med tråkiga grammatiklektioner. Mitt syfte är att i detta arbete söka svar på bland annat Har det alltid funnits grammatikundervisning i den svenska skolan?, Har Lpo förändrat inställningen till grammatik? och Uppfattas grammatik som tråkigt och något nödvändigt ont? Min undersökning bygger på en enkätundersökning gjord av Göran Strömqvist 1985. Jag har utfört en liknande undersökning för att se om det har skett någon förändring sedan Lpo 94:s tillkomst om mellanstadieelevers inställning till grammatik..

The Swedish Institute is a public agency promoting Swedish interest, national image and confidence around the world. This work attempts to investigate how communication and a process over time influences and effects public diplomacy. The analytic discussion is based on a single case study research of this Institute representing ideas in the international science field of public diplomacy. The theoretical ideas of public diplomacy are placed in a theoretical perspective of social constructivism. The method is qualitative, with excerpts taken from interviews, literature, newspapers, articles, state public reports and social media.

Intense competition among companies and luck or unavailability of certain resources in country of company?s origin force last to cross the borders, and start to hunt for new markets and cheaper inputs. However, by investing abroad the company is not only facing and dealing with cultural differences and new regulatory framework, but also becomes dependent on decisions and actions of different and to large extend unknown government. Moreover, the majority of the investments? flows are directed to developing countries, where power and capabilities of state authorities are considered to be more extensive than in countries of developed economies.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate, analyse and interpret the educational ideals of the ABF (Workers Educational Association) as they are understood by five members within ABF. The paper also examines how the educational ideals are represented in the national guidelines and statues of the ABF. The basic theoretical perspectives are intercultural theory and theories about Bildung and adult liberal education in a multi-cultural pedagogical environment presented by Bernt Gustavsson and Hans Lorentz respectively.The empirical study consists of five semi-structured interviews and a text study of the official documents of the ABF. The data is interpreted with hermeneutic and semiotic tools. Organisational theory focusing on organizational culture has also contributed to the study.The result of the study, when analysed in accordance to the methods, shows mainly four things.
