Boendesegregationsfrågan har under de senaste åren fått en allt större uppmärksamhet. Den negativa samhällsutvecklingen i samband med koncentrationen av fattiga invånare och minoritetsgrupper i vissa bostadsområden väckte även intresset för grannskapseffekter. När effekterna blir negativa för de boende blir det genast befogat att finna lösningar för att åtgärda problemen. Det har under årens gång därför riktats satsningar mot de utsatta områdena för att motverka boendesegregationen och dess effekter, en typ av satsning som senare fått motstå mycket kritik. Idag råder det en allmän samsyn bland politiker, beslutsfattare och planerare om att boendesegregationsproblematiken kan åtgärdas om de socialt utsatta områdena blir mer socialt blandade.

The material for my work is articles found on the Internet in daily newspapers websites.

This thesis examines the impact that the Euoropean Agricultural Policy has had on the tobacco regime during the years from the start of the Common Market Organization for Tobacco in 1970 til the days of today. The Truman method has been employed to estimate the degree of change of trade creation or trade diversion on the domestic market and also on the worldmarket. From these facts an analysis has been made to investigate how and if a new reform of the CMOT will affect the European tobacco market. Through the CMOT, the European Commission has tried to rise the quality level and the prices of raw tobacco growing in Europe. The european market value for tobacco has been rising and a marginal grade of of trade creation within the union and a grade of trade diversion to third countries has been shown since the implementation of the tobacco regime.

Hälsa och samhällsplanering är naturligt sammanlänkade. Strategier för att främjahälsa och välmående hos invånare i städer har dock varit olika genom tiderna.

During the autumn of 2007 I carried out an investigation within the bank and finance Sector. The aim of the investigation was to see how informal aspects could be understood in relation to equality within Bank AB?

The investigation is based on a survey, the internal magazine was investigated and finally interviews took place. Throughout the investigation I used organization theory in a gender perspective. With the gender organization theory I examined concepts as structures, leadership, symbolism and changes associated with equality.

The purpose of this study is to examine how participants perceive virtual agents shown on a computer display. In particular, it is explored to what extent participants transfer gender and attraction stereotypes that are commonly applied in the physical world to virtual agents. Previous related studies have often explored only text or voice interfaces, without any visually appearing agents, and here indeed found evidence for a transfer of gender stereotypes. Our hypothesis was that the addition of a visual agent interface would reinforce this effect. The results support our hypothesis that participants transfer human gender and attraction stereotypes onto virtual agents, as well as that these processes are affected by the visual representations of the agents..

Since the late 1900s, the consultancy has taken a firm grip on the labor market. The consultants' work profile has been secured through agreements such as guaranteed wages. The collective has been shattered as well as higher demands are required of the employee.

Previous research shows that consultants find it stressful to be associated with two companies and some clients can also point out consultant through different attributes.
