Studiens syfte är att undersöka om ett intersektionellt perspektiv är integrerat i de två metodböcker som materialet består av; BRYT! från RFSL Ungdom och Tjejgruppskompassen från United Sisters. Detta undersöks genom att en diskursanalys av metodböckerna utförs utifrån Ernesto Laclaus och Chantal Mouffes diskursteori. Även en bildanalys görs av en del av materialet som består av bilder. De teoretiska utgångspunkterna i studien är ett intersektionellt perspektiv på genus, samt de teoretiska antaganden som ligger titt grund för diskursteorin. Resultatet visar på att ett intersektionellt perspektiv existerar i BRYT!, men är frånvarande i Tjejgruppskompassen..

Resultatet visar på skillnader i olika motivationsfaktorers påverkan på fastighetsmäklare,           speciellt skillnader gällande inre och yttre faktorer. Resultatet har analyserats med hjälp av SDT. Vi har jämfört SDT modellen med Reiss och Maslows teorier i samma ämne, trots många likheter upptäckte vi även många skillnader mellan modellerna..

Purpose: To evaluate how a treatment period on four weeks in a warm climate influences physical function, condition and the patient's experience of the climate effect of patients with ankylosing spondylitis. Method: 10 persons with a diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis went through four weeks of treatment on Centro Forestal Sueco, Marbella. The treatment consisted of both physical and theoretic lessons given of a rehabilitation team. All patients were examinated measured for physical function and condition before treatment, after two weeks and at the end of the treatment. To measure physical function, Timed-Stands Test, Timed Get Up and Go, The Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index, Index of muscle function and functionestimitation of shoulder/arm were used.

Since July 2005 the major companies listed on the Swedish stock exchanges are required to apply the Swedish Code of Corporate Governance. The code states that companies shall have a nomination committee responsible for nominating new board candidates and seek to obtain gender equality in the Board of Directors. This paper examines the trend of board as well as nomination committee composition among Sweden's 60 largest publicly traded companies between 2005 and 2008. Our overall finding is that neither the board nor the nomination committee composition has changed to a notable extent during the period and that the share of newly appointed female board members has actually decreased. However, the trends vary between different sectors.

Syfte: Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka huruvida det går att skapa överavkastning påden svenska aktiemarknaden genom att använda sig av strategin 52?week highmomentum. Uppsatsen syftar även till att undersöka huruvida eventuell överavkastningkan härledas till bolagsstorlek. Metod: Aktierna i dataurvalet rangordnas i förhållande till sina årshögsta. Portföljenkonstrueras genom att gå lång i de 30 % av aktierna som ligger närmast sitt årshögstaoch gå kort i de 30 % av aktierna som ligger längst ifrån sitt årshögsta.

Bedömning av arbetsförmåga vid tidiga signaler på ohälsa respektive långvarig sjukskrivning är en vardaglig men många gånger svår uppgift inom företagshälsovården. Arbetsförmågan inverkar på människans välbefinnande och tillfredställelse med livet som i sin tur påverkar förmågan att arbeta. Projektets syfte var att kartlägga hälsoupplevelse och arbetsförmåga, att söka samband mellan arbetsförmåga, livstillfredsställelse och välbefinnande samt att analysera skillnader i arbetsförmågeupplevelsen mellan icke sjukskrivna, korttidssjukskrivna och långtidssjukskrivna patienter. Det var även viktigt att förstå om en sådan kartläggning kan användas vid ett första läkarbesök och vilka för- och nackdelar som fanns.Arbetsförmåga, livstillfredsställelse och hälsoupplevelse hos 31 konsekutiva nybesökspatienter, de flesta icke- eller korttidssjukskrivna (grupp 1), analyserades med hjälp av ett testbatteri bestående av tre självskattningsformulär Work Ability Index (WAI), WHO:s välbefinnande index-5 (WHO-5) och Life satisfaction-11 (LiSat-11). Patienternas arbetsförmåga och sjukskrivning jämfördes med en annan grupp bestående av 40 konsekutiva patienter, de flesta långtidssjukskrivna (grupp 2), som var remitterade för bedömning av arbetsförmåga.Diskrepans mellan anledning till läkarbesök och bakomliggande orsak konstaterades hos de flesta i grupp 1.

Bakgrund och problem: Fondsparandet är idag väldigt omfattande i Sverige och omfattar flera typer av sparformer. Den vanligaste fondtypen är aktiefonder som förvaltas aktivt. Många svenska betalar idag höga avgifter för att få sina fonder förvaltande. Vilka fonder är det värt att satsa på? Och hur har dessa fonder presterat i jämförelse med index?Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur ett antal aktiefonders har utvecklats och presterat gentemot marknadsindex under perioden 2000-10-31 till 2010-10-31.

Cover Story is a project, which students at Lillholms - and Ekholms School worked in during spring and fall of 2009. Several school subjects were integrated in project; social studies, art and Swedish, to empower the students to create, implement and design a magazine. The purpose of the project was to give the students the opportunity to fantasize about the future and their dreams by creating their very own Cover Story. During the project I realized that the student?s selection of magazine genre had a direct relation to the gender of the students themselves.

Background: Sweden is one of many countries which have a long history of immigration during the past decades. Each yearSweden receives numerous immigrants from different parts of the world, which has madeSweden to a multi-culture country.Aim: The aim was to describe nurses? experiences of encounters with patients from different cultures.Method: A literature-based study based on qualitative research, nine scientific articles were performed.Result: The analysis of the data resulted in four themes such as; insufficient communication, family members as a link to the patient, unfamiliar situation, and attentive to the patients? vulnerability with seven subthemes.Conclusion: For a well functioning encounter between nurse and patient from different cultures, a prerequisite is that the nurses establish a relationship based on good communication with the patient and relatives. This can prevent inequality, suffering based on lack of nursing, violation and misunderstandings..

The main purpose of the study was to collect norm data forCommunication Attitude Test for Preschool and Kindergarten Children WhoStutter (KiddyCAT) for Swedish children. Sub purposes of the study were toexamine if the results on KiddyCAT vary depending on age and gender andexamine the reliability and validity for the Swedish version of KiddyCAT. Inthe study 119 children without known stuttering, 3:1?6:11 years, fromdifferent preschools in Gothenburg city participated. Neither significantcorrelation between results on KiddyCAT and age nor a significantdifference between the genders was found.

The three dystopian novels Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, Kallocain by Karin Boye and Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell have been highly discussed amongst literary critics and scholars. Although these works are well-known, some themes have had very little or no recognition. Biological reproduction is a recurring subject in dystopian literature. Although it is not the main theme in the novels, it is a very important part in dystopian culture and dystopian society. By focusing on reproduction and the structure of gender roles in these three dystopias, I hope to bring to light something that's been in the shadows for a long time i.e.

This theises focus on how a ideal parentship can be reproduced and established in an organization that is incorporated in the familycourt, provided by the social institution. The organization provides help for parents and children during and after a divorce or separation, the organization also provides help for families where violence has occured or in cases when parent and child doesn´t know one another. When a custodial dispute arise´s and one of the two is granted soul costody of the child, the guardian in most cases is the mother. Therefor this organization mostly handels fathers and their children. The study shows that gender, class and possesing of the right will are the three main aspects that have an effect on who ends up at the organization.

Inventories of epiphytic lichens on Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) were conducted at three sites in east central Sweden: along the newly build motorway (Road E4), along the old road (Road 600) and in a reference site, to compare the effects of traffic pollution on lichen diversities. At each site, species richness, lichen mean sensitivity value (MK), air quality index of the forest stand/sample plot (LKI) and nitrogen impact value (N) were calculated and it was tested if there was any difference between the sites. Twenty-four species were observed in total, and Parmeliopsis ambigua and Hypogymnia physodes were the most common species at all sites. At Road E4, fewer lichen species were observed than at the other sites and this might be due to the impact of air pollution. The species richness at Road 600 was similar to that of the reference site, which might be explained by the improved air quality.

This essay examines Finnish artist Iiu Susiraja?s self-portraits in relation to Western traditions and tropes of the genre from the 20th century until today. I use an iconological/iconographic model to describe and to further interpret the images. The purpose is to find out which norms and conventions, within the art sphere and society as a whole, that Susiraja?s images reproduce or revolt against.

Purpose/Aim: The aim of this thesis was to study the construction of gender and to compare Media?s portrayal of male and female athletes.Material/Method: 140 articles covering seven famous Swedish male and female athletes were selected from two Swedish newspapers (Aftonbladet and Expressen). The articles has been analysed within the frames of Norman Faircloughs Critical Discourse Analysis.Main results: Male athletes are often described in powerful ways and are framed as being strong and successful. Skills and strengths of women athletes are often devalued in comparison to standards of hegemonic masculinity and self-control. They are often framed as women and girlfriends in advantage of the fact that they are athletes..
