Bakgrund: Social fobi är en sjukdom där personen har en irrationell rädsla för situationer där personen kan bli iakttagen och bedömd av andra. Rädslan kan vara så stark att det kan vara outhärdligt att vistas i samma rum som andra. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att belysa hur det är att leva med social fobi. Metod: Studien är en allmän litteraturstudie som baserades på femton kvantitativa artiklar och en självbiografisk bok. Artiklarna var publicerade efter år 1995.

The aim of this thesis is to study whether social welfare secretaries experience occupational pride and what affects this feeling. Previously made research indicate that occupational pride is essential for performance and work-related health. Research has also shown that social welfare secretaries often experience unhealthiness due to working conditions and a lack of professional self-esteem.This thesis is based on four qualitative interviews which have focused especially on critical incidents, according to the critical incident technique. This study has a hermeneutic, interpretative approach. As a theoretical framework, Pierre Bourdieu? s theory on social space and positions aswell as Aaron Antonovsky´s theory on Sence of coherence have been used. The result shows that the interviewed social welfare secretaries do experience occupational pride.

Very often we are likely to hear how important it is as adults to help small children and pupils out of bullying situations, both for the bullied one and the bully. What we often tend to forget is that bullying situations among adults are as common as the ones children put up with. The only difference is that the ones adults go through is a much more silent one, and the bullies often have a better strategy on how to beat down their victims slowly. Some of the cases also show that the bullying that is happening among adults is similar to the one between children. The risks in the bullying that occurs in the work environment are such as: bad self-esteem, doubting in their roles as professionals, anger, depression, anxiety and in some cases can be so dangerous that the suffered one eventually commits suicide.

Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka hur en tidning som Aftonbladet handskas med frågan om det globala miljöhotet; vilka känslor de appellerar till genom sin kampanj i både text och bild. Material som analyseras i uppsatsen är Aftonbladets serie om det globala miljöhotet. Den innehåller artiklar om såväl obefintliga snögubbar i framtiden och ett översvämmat Stockholm som skövlad regnskog och den förre amerikanske vicepresidenten Al Gore´s egna miljötips. Kampanjens ständiga maning var att skriva på ett upprop på Aftonbladets hemsida och på så vis avge fem löften för att bli en bättre miljövän. Den visuella argumentationen analyseras och kommer bland annat att visa på en stark tonvikt på känsloargument..

Terrorattackerna i New York och Washington den 11 september 2001 skakade om världen på en rad olika sätt.Bland annat har vi sett att terrorismen, i och med händelserna i USA, har kommit att behandlas som en global fråga trots att bara ett fåtal länder i världen har varit med om terrorattacker av liknande mått. Även Sverige har visat att det också vill bidra i arbetet för en säkrare värld och hittills har det vidtagits tämligen stora åtgärder för att komma åt terrorismen. Mot bakgrund av detta handlar detta projekt om tre svenska partiers - moderaterna, vänster ? och folkpartiets - ståndpunkter kring åtgärder inom terrorbekämpning..

Due to higher standards of living around the world, greater industries and larger infrastructures causes an increase of the global energy consumption. This harvest of energy puts a great stress on the global environment. With this development, it becomes increasingly important to utilize energy resources in the best possible way.Fans are components that are often used in the industry and in households. A common problem is that the fan is oversized. An oversized fan causes an excessive flow, which has to be adjusted in order to achieve the correct flow.

The purpose of this Masters-thesis is to examine the impact of identity politics on (a) Turkey's foreign policy towards Europe and the EU, and (b) Europe's/EU's political attitude towards Turkey, and what implications this may have on a possibly future Turkish membership in the EU. It is a more interpreting thesis than it is an explaining one. The examination shows that Turkey has considered Europe as a political model, while Europe has used the muslime Turkey as a threat to determine its own identity. The negotiations between EU and Turkey this autumn will have great impact on the identity of both sites. If the EU accepted Turkey as a member, the union could gain a chance to spread democracy to the islamic world and thereby earn global respect.

The climate change the earth today has to face is no longer a global problem when every individual has a responsibility to act. The residents in Sweden have no understanding how their energy consumption affects the environment, nor what measures can be taken to reduce the energy consumption.The use of the energy in new Buildings is considerably lower than in the older ones as conditions have improved and the requirements have been more stringent. As most of the buildings in the future have already been constructed it´s important to take every opportunity for energy efficiency and rebuilding of available buildings will become a significant act. Reconstruction of a building contributes generally to both a reduced individual and a reduced total energy use, while new constructions only keep a low individual energy use but a increase the total energy use. For this reason we present the opportunities for reconstruction, mainly to reach the standards for a passive house..

Abstract The growth of supra-national organizations, such as the European Union, has been a recent trend in today?s global environment, which has challenged traditional marketing concepts and product cues. One such cue that is significantly challenged is the 'origin cue'. An origin cue is conceived to be a socially constructed notion that consumers use to discern where goods come from and to accordingly evaluate products with. The origin cue is often predominantly materialized in the public sphere by a 'made in' labelling scheme.

Vi är på väg in i ett nytt samhälle, det postindustriella samhället även kallat informationssamhället. Ett av kännetecknen för detta samhälle är vad vi kallar globalisering, avstånden krymper och nationernas betydelse minskar. En avgörande effekt på denna omvandling har informationstekniken, IT haft. En av de viktigaste möjligheterna som IT öppnar är den gränslösa kommunikationen. Denna är en av de starkast bidragande orsakerna till globaliseringen.

Beskattning spelar allt större roll i människors migrationsbeslut. Flera länder har infört skattelättnader för vissa kategorier av utländska arbetstagare i syfte att göra sig mer attraktiva för kvalificerad utländsk arbetskraft. År 2000 införde Sverige skattelättnader för utländska experter, forskare och nyckelpersoner, den s.k. expertskatten. Syftet med reglerna om expertbeskattning är att Sverige ska kunna attrahera kvalificerad utländsk personal och därmed stärka Sveriges internationella konkurrensförmåga genom att främja forskning och produktutveckling.

GCM is a product information management system which handles data for consumer packaged goods. GCM was developed during the middle of the nineties and was acquired by Prevas AB in 2004. The GCM application relies on the services provided by the organization GS1, which supplies global specifications and validations for trade items across several sectors. GCM is updated regularly due to the frequent changes in specifications from GS1. However, the overall graphical user interface design has not been redesigned during these years.This dissertation studies possible improvements for the webpage that handles product data in GCM.

Bakgrund: De första Internetbaserade butikerna öppnade i mitten av 1990-talet och Internethandeln har sedan dess vuxit kraftigt. Den snabba tekniska utvecklingen har gjort att många svenska små e-handelsföretag har kunnat ta steget ut på en global marknad. Dock uppger hälften av alla svenska e-handlare att konkurrensen från utlandet har ökat på den svenska e-handelsmarknaden på grund av att e-handeln blivit allt mer global.Syfte: Vårt syfte är att undersöka och skapa förståelse för hur små e-handelsföretag arbetar för att kunna konkurrera på marknaden. Speciellt med tanke på att allt fler aktörer vill ta del av den stora andel kunder som Internets globalisering har medfört.Metod: Uppsatsen har en induktiv ansats och grundar sig i en kvalitativ forskningsmetod. Vi har genomfört sex stycken intervjuer med personer som arbetar och driver en e-handel på Internet.
