Since 2007, I´ve been working in the steel industry in a place called ?SSAB?. That?s why itseemed right to contact them for this thesis.The SSAB concern is global, but SSAB Sweden involves raw steel producing in Luleå, heavyplate producing in Oxelösund, and sheet metal producing in Borlänge..

 Den digitala revolutionen möjliggjorde fildelning av musik via Mp3?formatet på en global nivå till miljontals användare. För musikindustrin resulterade detta i att musik inte ansågs vara en produkt utan en tjänst eller service. Det hävdas att denna förändring är anledningen till att musikindustrin har i princip halverat sin omsättning på en global nivå sen 1999. Den digitala revolutionen har kommit att utmana och ifrågasätta den traditionella musikindustrins strukturer och tillvägagångssätt.Vår rapport belyser den digitala revolutionens inverkan på dagens musikbolag.

Using a qualitative research method to get the empiricism for analysis, we have analyzed advisors and job seekers experience of management meetings at the job center in Halmstad. We used a semi-structured interview form when we collected the empiricism from four advisors, four job seekers and one complementary actor in the form of a job coach, with a hermeneutic approach to interpreting the informants? subjective experience. We also chose to analyze our results using theories by Asplund, Von Wright, Mead, Scheff, Barth and MalténsThe results presented have shown that time is what they all described as lacking. It was found that the job seekers had a reasonable degree of common experience in both the management meetings and the working role of the advisors, while the advisors themselves were divided on how their role would be applied.

Bakgrund:?Klimatf?r?ndringarna inneb?r ?kade v?rmeb?ljor, torka och extrema nederb?rdsh?ndelser som p?verkar m?nniskors h?lsa och v?rdens f?ruts?ttningar. Sjuksk?terskans uppdrag att fr?mja h?lsa aktualiseras d?rmed i ett f?r?nderligt klimat, men trots detta finns ett stort kunskapsglapp hos sjuksk?terskor. ? Syfte:?Att belysa hur klimatf?r?ndringar p?verkar m?nniskors h?lsa samt sjuksk?terskans m?jligheter att fr?mja h?lsa i relation till dessa globala utmaningar.? Metod:?Litteratur?versikt.

The purpose of this thesis is to critically investigate how to understand the regional transformations that are occurring in Sweden and Denmark. At a higher level of abstraction the results can be generalised to a wider context and I have found that there is an ideological hegemony that explains the regional transformation. Nation states are reterritorialising due to a changing world where global capital is becoming increasingly flexible and competition between states, regions and municipalities is needed to adjust. By using Sandberg's model of structural reforms I have shown that the differences between Sweden's and Denmark's reterritorialisation are due to differences in national political culture and existing administrative systems. In fact these two structural reforms are based on the same regionalist ideology as a reaction to the changing global economy.To investigate the regional transformations I have carried out an idea and ideology analysis on the recent Swedish proposal from Ansvarskommittén, Strukturkommissionen in Denmark and the proposal by the Danish government which was carried out in 2007.

Inspiration for this work is from the argumentation, which is about following issue: ``If we are on a good way to leave the bureaucratization``.This paper is a study about Scania. Here I will find out at which level of bureaucratization Scania is ranked on. Scania is one of the leading producers of trucks in the world. It is acompany which works global and the analysis of Scania´s environment is as much as theanalysis of the company's internal organization..

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur de fattigas- samt rättighetsperspektivet kommer till uttryck i Sveriges politik för global utveckling. Uppsatsen ämnar också att diskutera samstämmighetspolitikens prestation utifrån en jämförelse mellan Barometern och handelspolitiken i PGU. Uppsatsens syfte har brutits ned i ett antal konkretiserade fråge-ställningar för att det ska kunna besvaras. Dessa är: Hur uttrycks de fattigas perspektiv och rättighetsperspektivet i PGU? Vilka utvecklingsaspekter eller önskade förändringar lyfts fram i PGU? Vilka problem identifieras i samband med global utveckling och hur ska dessa problem hanteras? Vad säger Barometern om den svenska politikens prestation med PGU? Vilka förutsättningar har samstämmighetspolitiken? Uppsatsen bygger på en icke- positivistisk och hermeneutisk vetenskapssyn vilket innebär att syftet är att nå kunskap och förståelse genom tolkning.

Integrerad produktion (IP) är ett odlingssystem som EU beslutat om att samtliga producenter i medlemsstaterna ska följa från och med 1 jan 2014 (Europaparlamentet, 2009). Arbetet med införandet av detta är redan långt gånget i Sverige och Svenskt Sigill står för en produktmärkning som bland annat innebär att produkten är odlad enligt IP (Svenskt Sigill, 2011). En liknande global märkning finns, där tanken är att reglerna för IP-odling ska vara desamma världen över, för att underlätta internationell handel (GLOBAL G.A.P, 2011).Integrerad produktion (IP) syftar till att ge långvariga och hållbara lösningar i produktion och odling genom att ha det naturliga ekosystemet som kunskapsbas (Svenskt Sigill, 2011). Målet med odlingssystemet är att få hög avkastning och dessutom göra så låg påverkan på naturen och använda så lite energi, gödning- och bekämpningsmedel som möjligt.I detta arbete görs jämförelser av Svenskt Sigills märkning och GLOBAL G.A.P.s krav på vad som krävs för att bli certifierad odlare enligt deras regelverk. Jämförelsen av de olika märkningarna appliceras sedan på odlare i Sverige och i Etiopien.

CSR har kommit att bli centralt i många företags strategier. Vissa akademiker hävdar att företag söker sig till intresseorganisationer som arbetar med CSR för att förbättra sitt CSR-arbete medan andra påstår att det endast är ett sätt att framhäva sitt företag i ett positivt ljus. Till skillnad från de många artiklar som skrivits om vad företag kan vinna på medlemskap i intresseorganisationer fokuserar denna uppsats istället likt Knudsen (2011) på vilka företag som har något att vinna på engagemang i intresseorganisationen The Global Compact. Undersökningen utgår från Knudsens påståenden och prövar om dessa stämmer för svenska företag, via intervjuer med fyra företag av varierande storlek. Våra resultat pekar mot att påståendena i huvudsak stämmer men att de bakomliggande orsakerna varierar när man jämför vår geografiska begränsning mot Knudsens mer globala fokus.

AbstractTurkey has emerged as a major actor in the Middle East over the last decade, since the ruling party AKP came to power in 2002. Turkey is now playing a mediation role in regional conflicts and has been speaking out loudly on sensitive issues such as the Iranian nuclear program and the Palestinian- Israeli conflict. Furthermore, Turkey has established close ties with the Arab world which has suffered the relationship with its long-time ally Israel. This new presence in Middle East has been criticized by Turkey's allies in west. Critics argue that the country is about to abandon its former western relationship and strengthen their ties with the Arab world instead.This thesis has two main purposes.

The importance of student influence at the universities is something that is described in Swedish regulations as well as in local policies and documents for Karlstad University. At the same time there is no description for the interpretation of what student influence actually means. It is up to the university to decide what student influence should be at the university and how it should be represented in the organization and processes.The purpose with this essay is with a discursive perspective of analysis define how representatives of Karlstad University reflects how the student influence should be represented in the organization and if it is possible to connect it to the position as an actor of co-decision or of influenceThe analysis show that different levels of the university will describe the position of student influence differently, and that it plays different roles to keep up the quality of education at the university. It shows that it will be of more importance that student influence takes the role to influence the organization more than co-decide the nearer the student the process will come..

This thesis intends to examine the role of the city, Dublin, in the Irish economic growth during the 1990s. It is a case study where Dublin is compared with current theories on post modern cities as growth machines and increasingly prominent actors in the global context. The study has an interdisciplinary approach but focuses on political science issues such as power distribution, global-local governance and local political organisation. It is a theory driven study that also intends to add aspects to the understanding of the cities of our time. I argue that Dublin has faced a lot of changes during the last decades in accordance with the post modern city.

Background: The global capital markets have enlarged investment opportunities and thus also the sources of funds for companies which increasingly face global markets for their services and products. Huge capital movements show that investors are constantly searching ways to minimise risk and maximise returns. In the light of the substantial growth of assets in institutional funds, an important question for international finance is the degree to which institutional investors have diversified their portfolios internationally. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the international diversification of portfolio investments of institutional investors in Japan, the US and the UK and deepen into international diversification in portfolios of Japanese institutional investors. Demarcations: Institutional investors can use their power directly in companies or indirectly through capital markets.

The purpose of this master thesis is to find out if library activities in civil society may be seen as a complement to public activities. The incitement lies in a discussion in the research activities of social sciences and among politicians, where the opinion is that civil society may function as a complement to governmental policy. The NGO-library Föreningen Miljöbiblioteket i Lund and the municipality of Malmö stad where chosen as units for examination. The common feature of the two units is the global task introduced by the UN, to create a sustainable development. The material used is exclusively concerning domestic information activities.
