For the past decades, culture has been given a role as a factor for local and regional development. But what is meant by development and in what ways culture can be of importance in this aspect can be unclear. This thesis examines the perception of the role for local and regional development of one specific cultural place and network ? the cultural cooperative Not Quite in Fengersfors, Sweden. I study the way the role as developer is expressed and interpreted in the discourse of the cultural workers who are members of the network and in the discourse of public cultural policy in the region Västra Götaland and in Åmål municipality.

Theft without break-ins has increased significantly in the last year of swimming, sports and leisure facilities in Karlskrona, more precisely 60%. Vandalism in the shape of graffiti is another common crime. The solutions are divided into social and situational crime prevention. Social crime prevention engage in actions that are based on social causes of crime rather than the opposite situational crime prevention, which instead assumes that discourage with the help of technical solutions and has as primary objective to hinder accessibility for example theft friendly goods. The main purpose of this work is to come up with solutions to prevent these crimes, while also being cost-effective and realistic to implement. The work is important in that it creates safety awareness and promotes a healthy safety culture. Moreover, the future goal is to lower these statistics. The goal of the work is in addition to developing our knowledge of crime subject, was also to provide help and solutions for our clients.

Skillnaderna i redovisningspraxis i Europa har varierat så pass att det nästan varit omöjligt att göra jämförelser mellan företag, utan att göra betydande förändringar i den finansiella rapporten. Detta har skapat en internationell process för att harmonisera redovisningspraxis i Europa. I harmoniseringsprocessen förekommer det både drivkrafter och hinder. Exempel på drivkrafter kan vara investerare, multinationella företag och regeringar, medan exempel på hinder kan vara nationalism och språk. Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att få en förståelse hur de svenska normbildarna ser på dessa drivkrafter och hinder som påverkar harmoniseringsprocessen.

Det vanligaste organet att transplantera är njuren. Cirka 30 % av alla njurtransplantationer sker från en levande donator och vanligtvis är det familjemedlemmar som donerar en av sina njurar. Under senare år har även nära vänner accepterats som njurdonatorer. Det finns mycket forskning på den som får ett organ men inte så mycket på den som donerar. Syftet med studien var att beskriva levande njurdonatorers erfarenheter av att donera en njure.

Syftet med examensarbetet är att analysera om BFN stötte på problem vid upparbetningen, samt om vår expert och redovisningsekonomerna tror samma problem kommer att uppstå vid tillämpningen. Ändamålet är även att beskriva varför dessa kommer att bli problematiska och om andra problem kommer att uppstå. I teorin beskrivs gällande regelverk och kommande K2-regelverket för belysta problemområden samt definitioner av olika organ. De problemområden som redovisningsekonomerna nämner kommer inte att bli några större problem för K2-företagen, eftersom de flesta företag redan tillämpar reglerna som kommer att ingå i K2-regelverket. BFN vill inte ha komplicerad redovisning i K2, därmed får de företag som har komplicerad verksamhet och specifika krav på sin redovisning istället tillämpa K3-regelverket.

In this bachelor thesis we have used a case study to examine the potential opportunities and obstacles an organization may have to internally implement a code of conduct with regard to the environmental guidelines. To succeed with the implementation of codes of conduct, companies need to ensure that what is provided to be implemented do this according to scheduled time targets, but also that is to be implemented in the organization actually is what is intended to be implemented, and that those that are involved in the implementation will be satisfied with result, this is because it is the employees who will follow the guidelines contained in the Code. Heide & Grönhaug (2002) argues that lack of communication is the main reason why the implementation in the business strategies fails. In this case study we have used primary data from interviews in the case company as well as secondary data from earlier research and information from the case company itself to develop our conclusions. The case study shows that the existing environmental awareness in an organization often is founded in common sense about how to act.

I följande arbete har en ekonometrisk undersökning av svensk verkstadsindustri genomförts. Åtta bolag, registrerade på Stockholmsbörsen, och tillhörande verkstadsindustrin har valts ut. Dessa är Volvo AB, Sandvik, ABB, Alfa Laval, Assa Abloy, SKF, Scania och Atlas Copco. Bolagens genomsnittliga avkastning utgör den beroende variabeln i undersökningen. De förklarande variablerna har valts med hänsyn tagen till fakta presenterad i bolagens årsrapporter samt ekonomisk relevans.

The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare how and why consumers of different ethnic backgrounds value and prioritize product attributes among food in certain ways. We expected to find culturally bound attitude differences and our aim was to relate those to, and challenge, present knowledge of information structures. Consequently, we also aimed to use this new knowledge of attribute attitudes in connection to assortment variety theory, as attributes constitute important motives to how consumers perceive variety. A theoretical framework was constructed to suit our purpose and function as an analytical tool, consisting of Culture perspectives, Information structures (product attributes), and Assortment variety. In this thesis we focused on attitudes and consumer perspectives and excluded actual behaviour and the retailing perspective.

Denna kvalitativa kunskapsöversikts syfte är att påvisa vilken syn man idag har på patienter med Fibromyalgisyndrom, hur detta syndrom behandlas och hur dagens synsätt har växt fram. Fibromyalgisyndrom drabbar 2-4% av befolkningen, och 80-90% av dessa är kvinnor. Eftersom sjukdomen inte "syns utanpå" är det svårt för anhöriga, arbetskamrater och läkare att inse svårighetsgraden av patientens besvär. En genomgång av forskningsrapporter och annan litteratur visar att diagnosen karaktäriseras av diffusa symtom, funktionella störningar och obestämda smärt- och värktillstånd. Diagnosen har låg status, är inte lokaliserad till något bestämt organ och det finns ingen bot, bara lindring och symtombehandling.

This master?s thesis studies library teaching at two university libraries, Freie Universität Berlin in Germany and Södertörn University in Sweden. The aim of this paper is to study views on information literacy, how these views affect teaching practice, and how the teaching of information literacy is connected to, on the one hand, German and Swedish learning culture and, on the other, the local community of practice at the studied university libraries. The theories applied in this paper are learning culture and community of practice as developed in the works of Judith Ricken and Etienne Wenger. The methods that have been used are qualitative, semi-structured interviews that were conducted at both university libraries.It was observed that the teaching practices were highly connected to learning cultures.

Styrelsen och revisorn i ett aktiebolag har ett parallellt ansvar som främst aktualiseras vid skadeståndstalan när båda bolagsorganen på något sätt varit inblandade. ABL uppställer en ansvarsfördelning som anger att styrelsen är ansvarig för bolagets organisation och förvaltning. Styrelsen har även till uppgift att se till bolagets ekonomiska förhållande och det ska ske fortlöpande. Styrelsens ansvarsområden framgår av 8 kap 4 § ABL. Revisorn däremot, som är ett oberoende organ i förhållande till bolaget, deltar inte i bolagets förvaltning.

AbstractSeveral of researchers have reflected that the school ought to be developed to a learning organization. A method as proceed from such a perspective and should be able to match a local child- and educations administration is problembased school development.

The question this report gives answer to is:In what/which way works a child- and educations administration in a rural district with a method to fulfil a problembased learning.To collect empiric data a canvassing inquiry was accomplished among the child- and educations administrations group of management. According to the research result it can declares that there are good conditions for the organization to prosecute problem based school development, but there is yet a great deal to do before it´s can be said totally fulfilled.

The aim of this thesis is to examine whether the youth section, named ?Young adults?, in the library in our study is justified or not. We will do this by examining connections between society?s and the library?s views on youth and youth culture. In our study we examine the purpose of the young adult-department and which measures are taken to reach the purposes.

The key purpose of this research has been to study and understand how young people with Syriac ethnicity experience their identity, when living in two different cultures. The Syriac minority is something of a special case when it concerns establishing the identity of an individual, since syriac´s do not have an official country.To be able to do this research an interview has been done with four young students with syriac ethnicity. The four of them is attending their final year at ?gymnasiet? in Sweden which is equivalent to USA?s senior year in high school.The multicultural school is today a fact and many immigrants attending the Swedish schools today feels misplaced when they meet the Swedish culture through fellow students and society. A clash between cultures occurs and most of the students, with non-Swedish ethnicity, live some kind of dual life.

A large part of the Iranian population resented the west, in particular USA and Great Britain, during the Islamic revolution in Iran 1979. The people were also resenting the adverse effects of the trumped up frame made in Iran. The last shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was detested by many in Iran for its west-oriented regime. The resentment among many Iranians is a consequence of the violations of e.g. the lack of political and civil rights, there were no existing legal security in the society, there were no economic distribution and the regime of Mohammad Reza Shah violated the human rights.The resolution from an Iranian perspective for riot is not new, during the last centuries the abomination against the despotic kings have been existing varyingly and big riots have been raised.  The Islamic revolution in 1979 was new because the revolution added adverse effects of west, the population detested west and expressed it by protesting through demonstration.  The significance of the revolution in 1979 was also attributable to Islam.
