Competition in the market of interior design during the last several years has drastically increased. The consumers of today are very conscious about what the market can offer and therefore they have high demands on the products. It is not only the function of the product that matters but also the design that makes a difference. Companies are becoming more aware of this and as a result they have to find a way to set themselves apart in order to attract customers. This realization has led designers and economists to cooperate in a different way than before.

Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka professionella hjälparbetares subjektiva uppfattning av fenomenet partnervåld och hur de beskriver bemötande och terapeutisk behandling av de hjälpsökande.Uppsatsen tar avstamp utifrån våldsutsatta män inom partnervåld men även de övriga rollerna som kan uppstå inom destruktiva heterosexuella relationer berörs: våldsutövande män, våldsutövande kvinnor samt våldsutsatta kvinnor. Vi utgår från professionellas uppfattning om sitt betraktande, bemötande, behandling samt benämning av rollerna inom partnervåld och gör en analys utifrån ett diskursperspektiv, ett viktimiseringsperspektiv samt ett genusperspektiv av institutionsdiskurserna som förs på enheterna.Ansatsen är kvalitativ genom enskilda intervjuer med professionella som arbetar på en enhet som tar emot män kontra en enhet som tar emot kvinnor och utsagorna jämförs sedan med varandra för att fördjupa förståelsen av fenomenet.De resultat vi funnit i uppsatsen antyder att diskurserna på de två enheterna skiljer sig från varandra vilket eventuellt skulle kunna ge ett möjligt svar på varför mäns utsatthet utifrån vår erfarenhet är så osynligt i samhället. Benämning av de roller som skapas i de destruktiva relationerna är ett av de mest intressanta resultat vi funnit, då beskrivningarna av rollerna enligt vår uppfattning skiljer sig markant mellan de två enheterna..

In the years between 2012 and 2014, Burma has been shaken by waves of violence against Muslims which has resulted in destroyed mosques and shops, at least 140 000 displaced and 200 killed persons. The person who is said to lay behind this violence is the Burmese Theravada monk Ashin Wirathu. Being the founder and leader of the radical Buddhist movement 969, he has been accused of indirectly motivating violence against Muslims and has been portrayed with titles such as ?The face of buddhist terror?. This essay investigates the relation between Wirathu and the anti-Muslim violence by applying the method of content analysis on a speech of him.

AbstractTitle: To work or not to work, an essay about information and inspiration on www.ams.se.Number of pages: 39Author: Ann HöglundTutor: Peder Hård af SegerstadCourse: Media and communication Studies DPeriod: Fall 2005University: Uppsala University, Department of information science, Division of Media and CommunicationPurpose/Aim: To investigate the frequency of ethos, logos and pathos in the work-guides on www.ams.se, and study how they match the needs of the respondents in the essay-interviews.Method/Material: To investigate the needs and wishes for information I have made three group-interviews with university students. In order to analyse the texts and films on www.ams.se I have used tools from the modern rhetoric analysis. In the last part of my analysis I compared the results of the rhetoric analysis and the requests from the interviews to see if and how they match.Main Results: The respondents requested inspiration for their future work lives, and information that could de-dramatize the image of working. The texts on www.ams.seconsist mostly of facts, while the films made a slightly more emotional contribution to the image of the occupation. The films showing relaxed and satisfied people can be seen as a way to de-dramatize the image of working-life.

The comments were sorted into seven groups depending on the type of information need, for example searches for certain instrumentation or genres and problems with spelling.
