Syftet med denna uppsats är att beskriva och tolka berättelserna och berättandet inom SAS, Scandinavian Airline Systems. Vi vill därigenom erhålla en förståelse för denna aspekt av organisationskulturen. Vi beskriver vilka berättelser som cirkulerar inom organisationen och försöker utröna deras betydelse och vilka skillnader som finns inom organisationen. Genom våra intervjuer med SAS anställda har berättelserna visat sig ha olika funktioner. En av de viktigaste funktionerna är berättelsernas förmåga att fylla de informations- och förståelsebrister som uppstår i organisationer, inte minst i en organisation med SAS komplexa karaktär.

Purpose: The purpose of this essay is to describe the social media usage of five European official national tourism organizations (NTO). The essay proceeds to discuss and evaluate the findings, whilst reflecting on the advantages of social media usage from the point of view of an official national tourism organization.Method: The authors used three different methods of research: one structured observation to study the national tourism organizations? everyday work in social media, one field stimulation to study if and how different NTO respond if a prospective visitor makes them a direct question via social media and finally an email interview to gain insight into NTO?s underlying strategies and policies about social media usage.Theoretical framework: The theories that have been used in this paper include the Uses and gratifications model, theories of one-way and multi-way communication, theories of social media and relationship marketing.Conclusion: By making use of social media the company releases some of its control to the customers as the latter can express their opinions freely in this type of media. One of the advantages of social media is that the platform favors dialogue and feedback. Social media can be used for traditional one-way communication, but works best as a supplement to the regular marketing activities, allowing the activities on social media platforms to focus on branding and building long-term customer relationships.

Titel: Läsarnyheten ? i mediernas kontroll: En studie om hur läsarnyheten kan bidra till interaktiviteten på nättidningarFörfattare: Moa VennergrundUppdragsgivare: DagspresskollegietKurs: Examensarbete i Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap vid institutionen för journalistik, medier och kommunikation, Göteborgs universitet.Termin: Vårterminen 2010Handledare: Jonas OhlssonSidantal: 60 inklusive bilagorSyfte: På vilket sätt bidrar läsarnyheten till interaktivitet på svenska nättidningar?Metod: Kvantitativ innehållsanalysMaterial: Svenska nättidningar 2010Huvudresultat: Mina resultat visar att läsarnyhetsfunktionen skapar liten interaktion på nättidningar. Läsarnas deltagande i att läsa och skriva försvåras genom att läsarnyhetsfunktionen är svår att hitta. För att delta med sin nyhet ställs krav på läsaren och på så sätt kontrollerar nättidningarna läsaren i sin interaktion. Få nättidningar som har läsarnyhetsfunktionen har kommentarfunktioner kopplade till läsarnyheten vilket gör att tvåvägskommunikation försvåras.

Redovisningen av de indirekta kostnaderna vid högskolor och universitet har kritiserats av Riksrevisionen och externa finansiärer under många år. I november 2007 rekommenderade Sveriges universitets- och högskoleförbund (SUHF) landets universitet och högskolor att införa en ny redovisningsmodell som SUHF hade tagit fram. Flera lärosäten har infört modellen sedan dess. Men hur har det gått?Syftet med denna studie var att ta reda på det och beskriva effekterna av modellen, särskilt med tanke på intern styrning och kontroll.

There is a known link between relative deprivation and street crime among market liberal countries. Although some research has been done with cross-national data, there is none to suggest that the observed link is as valid in a country well known for its extended welfare and generous social expenditure like Sweden. The following study uses longitudinal data to see if this recognized link between relative deprivation and street crime also stands in a country with almost a century long tradition of striving for social-, economic- and cultural equality. Even though Sweden, over the last decade, has been subjected to a series of deregulations due to policy changes at national level, and with a following rise in inequality, it is still considered to be one of the most equal countries in the west. It is therefore not unlikely that the high degree of social security will reduce the negative impact of relative deprivation on social relations among its citizens, perhaps enough so that the correlation will be significantly weakened.

Under valen 2002 ? 2006 har Sverigedemokraterna i Sydsverige gått starkt framåt. Vad kan förklara denna starka framgång?Syftet med denna uppsats är att försöka specifiera om värderingskillnader mellanSydsverige och övriga Sverige föreligger genom att undersöka om det finns någotsamband mellan region och inställning till det kulturella samhället. Genom att användamaterial från den europeiska forskningsprojektet European Social Survey (ESS)undersöks hypotesen om det föreligger värderingsskillnader mellan Sydsverige ochövriga Sverige i inställning till det mångkulturella samhället som då kan ha en del i förklaringen varför Sverigedemokraterna är starka just i Sydsverige.

This is a qualitative study based on five semi-structured interviews in Sweden. The aim of the study is to explore what experiences non-monogamous people have of dating and the social support surrounding them. The study investigates what effects norms and normative structures have on non-monogamous dating. This is done through a thematic analysis with queer theory, and the underlying theoretical concepts performativity, heteronormativity, mononormativity, relationship escalator and queer temporalities. To help analyze the social support, we have used Bourdieu's (1986) theory about social capital.

The purpose of the thesis Masculinities ? Gender and its Impact on the Social conditions of individuals is to perform a critical study of how gendered norms influence the social conditions of individuals. This has been done by a problematization and the attempt to answer the question of how the hegemonical masculinity can be analyzed as a discourse, and how the structural aspects of this discourse inflict on the social conditions of masculinities.The question was divided into the analytical themes: the boarders of the discourse, the institutionalization of the discourse, the actuation of the discourse and the agents of the discourse. The theoretical frame is constituted by the theory of discourse by Michel Foucault, the theory of the hegemonical masculinity by R.W. Connell and a subversive identity theory by Judith Butler.
