AbstractTitle: Dragshow on the seven seasNumber of pages: 51 (56 including enclosures)Author: Therése PlastrougiTutor: Ylva EkströmCourse: Media and Communication Studies CPeriod: Fall 2007University: Division of Media and Communication, Department of Information Science, Uppsala UniversityPurpose/Aim: My main purpose with this paper is 1) to study how film as a media can subvert traditional gender constructions and 2) study the character of Elizabeth Swann in the trilogy Pirates of the Caribbean through four dimensions; Gender performance, Class, Desire and Power.Material/Method: My main material is the trilogy Pirates of the Caribbean. I have studied Elizabeth?s character based on semiotic and narratological methods.Main results: Film as a media possesses the full potential to change traditional gender roles, but the full subversion is denied due to the heterosexual matrix. Elizabeth?s character almost completes her subversive journey throughout the trilogy, but since she too is a victim of the heterosexual matrix, a full subversion is not possible.Key words: gender performance, class, desire, power, sex/gender, subversion, narratologic, semiotic, queer, feminism, pirates of the caribbean, intersectionality, parody.

The purpose of this essay is to examine what happens with library e-resources after implementing the discovery tool Summon. Summon provides a Google-like experience and uses multiple facet options when users need to narrow their discovery. Observations of change in the libraries e-resources with regards to database searches, click-throughs in linkresolvers and full text downloads are examined through looking at earlier reports and statistics from libraries in America and England. This provides a way to compare with Chalmers University of Technology?s Library.

Allmänhetens medvetenhet kring miljörelaterade ämnen har ökat på senare år, vilket lett till att alltfler företag producerar miljövänliga produkter och positionerar sig som ansvarstagande aktörer på marknaden. Generellt sett har företagen utformade riktlinjer vad gäller arbetsmiljö och arbetsvillkor men sämre insyn i produktionens miljöpåverkan. Textilindustrin ligger bakom en stor del av världens miljöförstöring till följd av de giftiga ämnen som används i odling och produktion. Den ökade medvetenheten hos allmänhet och företag förutspås kunna leda till tillväxt på marknaden för ekologisk bomull och pressen har ökat på att hållbara produktionsmetoder ska genomsyra företagets hela verksamhet.Ämnet för uppsatsen har sin utgångspunkt i vår kandidatuppsats ?Svenska modeföretag synas i sömmarna? som visade att företag inte känner till alla leverantörer och underleverantörer i leverantörskedjan, förutom när det kommer till leverantörskedjan för ekologisk bomull.

The starting point for this thesis has been the great process of change that Swedish municipalities now arefacing due to the political directive of offering full-time employment to all part-time employees. The aimof the research is to create a decision support model for Swedish municipalities, which simultaneouslyintroduce the offer of full-time employment and an internal personnel pool. The factors that mayinfluence the personnel?s choice of employment level and the quality of the outcome, thus the financial result,are we also aiming at explaining. The empirical observations were found through secondary data as well asobservations from the municipality of Göteborgs Stad.

I denna uppsats har jag diskuterat och analyserat hur unga tjejer upplever och fo?rha?ller sig till sin menstruation. Jag har insamlat materialet till denna uppsats genom en semi-strukturerad kvalitativ gruppintervju, i vilken fyra tjejer pa? gymnasiet deltog. Det insamlade materialet analyserade utifra?n den tolkande, fenomenologiska analysmetoden IPA (Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis), som syftar till att underso?ka individens levda erfarenhet och meningsskapandet kring sina upplevelser.

The purpose was to describe the significance of participation concerning leisure time and household duties for persons with mild intellectual disability living in a group home with some support from caretakers. Interviews were performed with five persons, two men and three women, living in such a group home. The questions in the interview guide had an open character and were divided into four different areas, leisure time, economy, cooking, cleaning and laundry. The results indicate that all informants felt they participated in all four areas. Further on, the results show there was participation of three different kinds.

In a recently published official Report from the Swedish Government (SOU 2010:73) a leg- islative proposal has been introduced. Its main purpose is to prevent parallel registrations of ships that are bareboat chartered to other countries. The legislative proposal claims that by preventing parallel registration of ships the Swedish Maritime Code will better corre- spond with the UN convention on the law of the sea.The UN convention on the law of the sea clearly states that ships are forbidden to fly two flags. There is however no restriction concerning parallel registration, simultaneously, in two registers. A ship that is bareboat chartered out from Sweden does not fulfil criteria re- quired in order to be deregistered, according to the Swedish maritime code.

The aim of this study is to examine how students and teachers experience full class lectures in contrast to working individually in mathematics education. Furthermore, the study explores how different ideas of individualization influence the teaching practice.The investigation uses qualitative interviews and the survey analysis is based on the phenomenographic method. The interviews took place in two senior level compulsory schools and both teachers and students were interviewed. The ambition has been to explore the teachers? perspectives regarding their choice of method in the teaching of mathematics.

Syftet med arbetet är att undersöka om lärares uppfattning är att de får meningsfull kompetensutveckling kring elever i behov av särskilt stöd. Arbetet ger en översikt av tidigare forskning kring kompetensutveckling. Med hjälp av enkätundersökning ville jag beskriva lärares uppfattning om kompetensutvecklingens tre huvudkomponenter; bakgrund, process och ut-fall, skapar förutsättningar för meningsfull kompetensutveckling kring ele-ver i behov av särskilt stöd. Sammanfattningsvis pekar resultatet på att få lärare uppfattar den kollektiva kompetensutvecklingen kring elever i behov av särskilt stöd som menings-full, medan den individuella kompetensutvecklingen upplevs som menings-full av majoriteten. Resultatet visar också att det är ovanligt med kompe-tensutveckling kring elever i behov av särskilt stöd..

The 1990s were one of the most profitable periods for European airline companies, mainly because of development of world economy and increasing globalisation trends. However, towards the end of the decade, a global economic downturn, high oil prices and new forms of competition turned the industry towards troubled times. The European air-travel industry had to face and accept the new airline business concept, called low-cost or no-frill airlines. In these conditions, traditional airlines had to rethink their strategies and question the old business model. As a response to the competition, European traditional full-service airlines formed alliances or networks to expand the route network and to increase efficiency.

Aim and scientific issuesThe aim was to identify potential health risks, for full-time working parents with small children, caused by time shortage. The intention was to better understand and help this particularly time-pressured group in society to achieve a healthier lifestyle. The identification was built upon their own opinions about possible health risks and upon an interpretation of the health risks from a health promoter?s perspective.How do full-time working parents with young children handle time-shortage in a health perspective, specified in the categories: sleep, recovery, nutrition, physical activity, social health and mental health?What consequences for health does time?shortage have for full-time working parents with young children?What do parents with young children think could help them to obtain a better health in everyday life? MethodThe study was based on a literature overview and semi-structured interviews with 6 people who were strategically selected: the interview objects were all full-time working or studying, had one child under 7 and lived together with a partner. All interviews were recorded using two dictaphones and were implemented, transcribed and analyzed by both writers of this essay to increase the reliability of the results.ResultsTime shortage is shown to be handled especially through priorities in the respondent?s lives.
