The purpose of this essay is to examine the Swedish people?s level of knowledge about crowdfunding and their incentives and deterrents to crowdfunding investments. Early on crowdfunding was divided into two objectives: reward based and equity based crowdfunding. The division of objectives is logical due to the differencing conditions of the motivation for investors to invest. Supported by theories in crowdfunding incentives, commitment-trust, the prospect theory, and the diffusion of innovations, we aim to establish a comprehensive line of reasoning to support our model of motivation in the conclusive chapter.The results of this essay were achieved by a combined method.

Sexturismär ett brett begrepp som mestadels förknippas med västerländska äldre män som reser till utvecklingsländer för att köpa sex. Detta har uppmärksammats sedan början av 1970-talet men på senare år har den kvinnliga sexturismen uppmärksammats allt mer i den svenska media. Studien redogör för den svenska kvinnliga sexturismen utomlands, med Gambia som fallstudie. När svensk media talar om fenomenet används förskönande beskrivningar, där kvinnornas beteender omantiseras i jämförelse med männens sexturism. Problematiseringen med detta är att två lika handlingar med samma syfte, beskrivs på två olika vis, beroende på kön.

Titel Göteborg - småstadskänsla & storstadsutbud- En kvalitativ undersökning om unga vuxnasuppfattning om Göteborg som stad.Författare Sofie Nyckelgård & Nina Raun StenbergKurs Examensarbete i Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap.Institutionen för journalistik, medier och kommunikation,Göteborgs Universitet.Handledare Jan StridKursansvarig Malin SveningssonTermin Vårterminen 2014Sidantal 32 sidorAntal ord 15 100 ordSyfte Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka vad det är som gör Göteborg till en attraktiv stad enligt unga vuxna.Metod Kvalitativ intervjustudieMaterial 12 invånare i Göteborg i åldrarna 18-25Huvudresultat I denna studie kom vi fram till att det finns ett gap mellan den image unga vuxna göteborgare har av Göteborg och den profil Göteborg & Co förmedlar. Vad som gör Göteborg attraktiv som stad för en ung vuxen skiljer sig alltså från den mer generella och breda bild som nu kommuniceras ut. Ur ett ungt perspektiv karaktäriseras Göteborg som den lilla storstaden, musikstaden, naturstaden och sommarstaden. Vidare ser vi tydliga mönster i att unga vuxna föredrar områden med gemytlig och historisk karaktär där många andra unga vuxna rör sig. Göteborg uppskattas för sin varma, välkomnande och sprudlande atmosfär med ett rikt utbud av aktiviteter, socialt uteliv, hav och natur som attraherar en ung vuxen..

The essay is written at the request of Nyköping municipality park management by PatRadestedt who wanted a design proposal for one of the five courtyards at the Tessin Schoolin Nyköping. The Tessin School is located 2 miles from the center of Nyköping and the schoolhouses approximately 900 students. To make a design proposal for the courtyard that lies atthe canteen I decided from the outset that I wanted to take some of the Tessin SchoolStudents' opinions and wishes regarding their own outdoor spaces. I had a workshop witheight students from the arts program with the image orientation in which they had to drawand tell them what they wanted to do in the courtyard. The outcome of the workshop, Iused to move forward in my future work with a concept that fit into the environment, wethen apply it in my final design proposal.

This research looks into the modern revival of opera based on the study of two recent productions of Giuseppe Verdi?s Don Carlo; the first is the 2010 production at the Gothenburg Opera in Gothenburg, Sweden and the second is the 2013 production at Großes Festspielhaus in Salzburg, Austria. The goal is to discover what aspects a contemporary audience can relate to and identify with and why opera is still relevant today. This has been done partly through a semiotic analysis of the visual image (e.g. set, costume and lightning) and partly through a hermeneutical analysis of the themes in Don Carlo.

This paper examines how Hinduism and Buddhism are portrayed in three textbooks for an upper secondary school course in religion and is limited to a selection of books published in 2009. Based on a qualitative content analysis, the paper examines the extent to which there is an intentional division, that is to say a line between ?them and us? in the ways in which the religions are described, and to what extent the description of these religions in the textbooks are Eurocentric. The study focuses on whether or not there is a ?them and us? perspective in the different books and if so, the ways in which this approach is evident.The result of this study shows that traces of a ?them and us? perspective can be found in all three books.

The purpose of this study was to bibliometrically investigate and describe the research area called ?extrasolar planets?. The research questions were: Which authors were mostly cited within the area when the first authors (and their co-authors) were considered? Which authors were found in most co-occurrences? Did particular author collaborations emerge? To which institutions were most authors affiliated and did the size of the institution have an influence on whether an author was cited? What was the geographic distribution of authors and institutions and were there any patterns of collaboration?Did the image of dominating institutions and countries depend on the viewpoint?How applicable was Lotka?s law on the collected data? The data was collected from citation lists in documents from the database Arxiv.org. The documents were extracted by using the search term ?extrasolar planets?.

 Problematisering: Vikten av arbetsgivarvarumärket har växt i betydelse tack vare den brist på välutbildad arbetskraft som råder. För att företagen ska kunna locka till sig och attrahera anställda till företaget blir rekryteringsannonser och företagshemsidan viktiga medium. På hemsidan och i rekryteringsannonserna har nämligen företaget möjlighet att väcka nyfikenhet och visa upp företagets identitet och kultur. Det som kommuniceras i annonserna och på företagshemsidan anses även ha stor betydelse för hur företagets image uppfattas av de potentiellt anställda. Därför blir det viktigt att de svårgripbara delarna av ett arbetsgivarvarumärke ger både existerande och potentiellt anställda de rätta associationerna, samt att dessa associationer kan byggas upp genom samverkande aktiviteter mellan marknadsförings- och HR-avdelningen.

This essay explores how artwork in the public space can be analysed, conceptualized and described by bringing attention to site. Through an analysis of artworks in the yearly art exhibition of Fittja Open 2011, the essay draws attention to site-specific art and structures of power. The principal aim is to present not only the exhibition of Fittja Open 2011 but also other artwork in the public sphere in Fittja, a suburb to Stockholm. From this point of departure other interests evolve that concerns the "image" of Fittja. The analysis, based on research in art history, architecture, ethnology and philosophy as well as qualitative interviews, also focuses on understanding the role of site and the relations between art practice, institutions and site.The result shows that there are problems with a ruptured interface between the artwork and site.
