This essay, called Motivation and reading comprehension, is a study of the correlation between the motivation to read and the reading comprehension of Swedish students in their final year of school before university level, meaning that they are eighteen or nineteen years old, sometimes more.The relation between the identity of the individual and the learning process has been a matter of scientific interest for some time, and this essay works in that tradition by investigating the connection between how pupils regard reading and how well developed their ability to decode text is.The reading comprehension is measured through a test that consists of a text from the Swedish epic by Vilhelm Moberg, Invandrarna, where the reader at certain intervals throughout the text is asked to mark the correct word from a choice of three. This test has been used and evaluated extensively by Per Fröjd, who has found that the results are reliable and useful.To measure the motivation to read I?ve constructed a survey to be answered before taking the reading test. It focuses on three different parts of reading motivation that are noted as the most important ones by Ivar Bråten. These are the feeling of joy and interest for reading, the goal to acquire knowledge of a specific subject, and the expectations that you have on yourself as a reader.Results show a weak or non-existent correlation between the two factors for the whole of the subjects, but once those who have a first language other than Swedish are removed the correlation becomes significant.

This Bachelor?s thesis elucidates the subject of Swedish migration to New Zealand in 1871. Drawing on the work of Anthony Grigg, who has assessed the public opinions regarding the arrival of Scandinavians in 1871-1876, this study aims to highlight the image of Sweden and Swedes conveyed in New Zealand at this time. Through a hermeneutic engagement with newspapers of the day, it is concluded that Swedes in general were being portrayed as industrious, thrifty and well suited for the forestry labour expected of them. It is also shown, however, that Swedes and Sweden to a limited extent were being associated with notorious drinking habits and inferior intellectual abilities.

Purpose: This paper aims to describe the socialization process that audit associates experience within an auditing firm that is included in the Big 4-sphere. Our purpose is also to describe which attributes that characterize the organizational identity, and how these attributes are reflected in the self-image of the associates. Furthermore, we seek to explain how the socialization process has influenced the organizational identification. This subject is of interest since the business of auditing is facing higher demands from regulators and politicians, due to the bankruptcy of HQ-bank among others during the financial crisis in the beginning of the 21st century.

Under de senaste åren har branschen hemelektronik ökat påtagligt och vi konsumenter har mer pengar att spendera på kvalitativa märkesprodukter. Eftersom fler och fler butiker uppstår och även trycket från internethandlarna ökar måste butiker idag använda sig av andra knep än vad de tidigare gjort för att nå ut till kunderna. Det kan vara svårt att nå ut till det kundsegment butiken tänkt sig och för att uppnå sina mål måste butiken vara klar över hur den vill framstå och vilken image den vill åt. Det blir allt mer vanligt att butiker använder sig utav nya kommunikationsknep för att få kunderna uppmärksamma och bli trogna kunder.Vår uppsats bygger på att vi gjort tre besök i butiker och dessa är Bang Olufsen, Televisionen och Onoff. Under dessa besök gjordes en intervju med butikscheferna där vi diskuterade butikernas syn på pris, kommunikation, service och sortiment.

Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka KRAV-märkets positionering samt att uppnå en ökad teoretisk förståelse kring positionering av certifieringsmärken generellt. Samtidigt utvärderar uppsatsen hur pass väl den konventionella varumärkesteorin, rörande begreppet positionering, passar för ett certifieringsmärke av KRAV:s slag. Resultat: KRAV-märket har övervägande positionerats kring en rad miljöanknutna budskap vilket medfört att märket har en otydlig och mindre attraktionskraftig image. Ett förslag på ett nytt och tydligt budskap som förmedlar mervärde till en bredare målgrupp presenteras och varumärkesteorins applicerbarhet på ekologiska certifieringsmärken bekräftas..

In 1972 the regulations on tax surcharge were introduced. In the new system the sur-charge are imposed by the Tax Authority (skatteverket) and not the Court. Since 1995 the European Convention on Human Rights constitute law in Sweden, which means that Sweden is forced to guarantee its citizens the human rights in the Convention. Article 6 in the Convention states that everyone, in the determination of his civil rights and obligations or of any criminal charge against him, is entitled to a fair hea-ring within reasonable time. The Article also expresses the right for anyone charged with a criminal offence to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law (the presumtion of innocence).
