Det övergripande syftet med denna uppsats har varit att undersöka vilka faktorer som påverkar utformningen av Frälsningsarméns tidning Stridsropet över viss tid, samt hur tidningens policy styrt det redaktionella arbetet Dessutom har jag försökt visa vilket utrymme chefredaktören har att påverka innehållet och vilken ledarskapsstil denne tillämpat. Med hjälp av både kvantitativ innehållsanalys och kvalitativa intervjuer undersöks Stridsropet under fyra olika chefredaktörer, vilken typ av artiklar som publiceras samt hur de fyra chefredaktörerna förhåller sig till den av ägaren fastställda policyn. Resultatet analyseras sedan främst med hjälp av Andersson Odéns (2001) teorier om redaktionell policy. Resultatet från intervjuerna visar att chefredaktörerna följer den övergripande redaktionella policyn som är norm för alla Frälsningsarméns tidningar med namnet Stridsropet (engelska War Cry) över hela världen. I intervjuerna framkommer även att varje chefredaktör har relativt stor frihet att utforma innehållet i tidningen efter egna intentioner och intressen.

The purpose of this study is to examine young adults', 18-19 years old, attitudes towards corporal punishment and with the help of social constructionism, grid-group theory and relevant concepts analyze the results and compare it with previous research. The research questions introduce various factors such as gender, origin and personal experiences of corporal punishment that may affect the attitudes. In order to fulfill the purpose and answer the research questions, a quantitative research method has been selected. There was 118 participants in the survey. The study was conducted by means of surveys in high schools in Örebro. Social constructionism made us realize how the community, perceptions and expectations might influence attitudes. Grid-group theory gave us an insight into how different family structures may explain why attitudes toward corporal punishment of children differ between individuals.

BackgroundPolitics in some ways has always been about communication and marketing. In Sweden some people believe that communication and meaningful relations with the voters are of no value, instead it is the political content that is of importance. Media evolution has changed the conditions of political marketing; this has meant that the choices of the right communication channels in political marketing have become more important today than ever. Political competition in Sweden has become more even in recent years, this has called for political communication and marketing to be more planed and well thought out. Political parties have therefore begun to spend millions on marketing themselves.

The aim of this study is to explain the paradox of the memberstates willingness to surrender power of important issues such as asylum and refugee policy and therefore partly abandon its sovereignty. We also discuss the relation between internationalization, regionalization and globalization since these processes form the context in which our research problem is found. A case study is used as a method in this paper.In our quest for answers we use a theory of internationalization that we place in its context by primarily discussing the relation between globalization and regionalization. The theory is used as an explanatory force and to give it a concrete form we operationalised its three processes; internationalization of problems, internationalization of the societies and internationalization of the descisionmaking.The result of the case study shows that the increase in asylumseekers leads to a higher risk of negative competition wich give rise to the memberstates need to coordinate their politics.We found that when societies and problems are being internationalized, the state finds it difficult to resolve problems on their own and this leads to the internationalization of the dedescisionmaking. The internationalization of the decision-making process is therefore natural, which in this case means the decisions are taken by the EU rather than by the member states..

The purpose of this study is to investigate the medial portrayal of Romani people in the newspaper Dagens Nyheter from 2013 and 2014.

This thesis is a qualitative study of a new law that was applied in December 2010. The law is called Lagen om etableringsinsatser fo?r vissa nyanla?nda invandrare, and is meant to help newly arrived immigrants that come to Sweden to establish themselves in the Swedish society. The aim of the study is to see what discourses the Swedish government produces as a result of this new law. Interesting for the study is to see what happens in the implementation stage at a local level, in this case in the municipality of O?rnsko?ldsvik.Theoretically and methodologically I emanate from critical discourse theory and institutional theory.

Arbetet med mångfald utgår från diskrimineringslagstiftningen för att säkerställa attorganisationer bedriver ett aktivt mångfaldsarbete.

This masters thesis is a study of official political documents in order to discuss privatisation and the Swedish public libraries. In the 1990s public libraries became placed on contractors, and that was said to be one form of privatisation.

We will also discuss how the future of public libraries will be in this context.

An organization that uses all of its improvement opportunities has a great advantage compared to its competitors. It is an important task when it comes to continuous improvements of every process.
