The purpose of this study is to examine the personnel?s perspective on how the emotions shame and guilt are present in the treatment of female addicts on an LVM institution. Three questions have been designed to meet the objective: How do they work in the treatment with guilt and shame, how important is it to work with these feelings and what significance does genders have in relation to shame, guilt and treatment? A qualitative approach and techniques have been used to obtain the result. The study's theoretical starting point consists of three themes: gender theory, labeling theory and a theoretical approach to the concepts of guilt and shame.

Intermodulated force microscope (ImAFM) is a type of dynamic AFM. ImAFM opens up possibilities for mapping the topography and making quantitative determinations of material parameters at the same time. With increased information the need to generate more informative images of the sample emerges. In this Bachelor's degree project I have created tools for rendering images of a sample. The topography is plotted as the height and a material parameter is color coded on topography.

Titel: Sponsring till vilken nytta- för filantropi eller PR? Nivå: C-uppsats i ämnet företagsekonomi Författare: Elin Jacksson och Elin Åkerblom Handledare: Agneta Sundström Datum: 2015 - Juni  Syfte: Syftet är att skapa ökad förståelse för företagens arbete med sponsring, vad som motiverar dem och vilken nytta arbetet bidrar till. Metod: Uppsatsen har kvalitativ metod och komparativ design som omfattar tio semistrukturerade intervjuer riktade mot tio företag som marknadsför ett sponsorarbete på idrottsarenor. Data har sammanställts genom att infoga nyckelord i en tabell som sedan ligger till grund för analys där teoretiskt stöd finns från vetenskapliga artiklar. Resultat & slutsats: Företag arbetar med sponsring i huvudsak för att bidra till samhällsnytta samtidigt som företagen marknadsförs, de använder sponsring både för att skapa nytta för samhället och nytta för företaget. Vi har funnit att företagen befinner sig i utvecklingsfas där vikten nu är att samarbeta och kräva något tillbaka från de organisationer som erhåller stöd. Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Vi föreslår fler studier som studerar den utvecklingsfas företag befinner sig inom och om samarbetsavtal är effektivare än sponsoravtal, om företagens arbete för hållbart samhälle uppfattas som mer trovärdigt med samarbetsavtal än med sponsoravtal. Uppsatsens bidrag: Studien bidrar till att ge ökad förståelse för företagens sponsorarbete och visar att samhällsnyttan är det som motiverar till sponsorarbete. Vi har funnit att företagen befinner sig i en utveckling där största vikten av sponsoravtal bygger på samarbete där sponsorstagaren förväntas motprestera för att erhålla stöd. Nyckelord: CSR, Filantropi, Sponsring, PR, Samhällsnytta, Image.

Products and services have for a long time competed with their brands. For some time now, cities have begun to compete with each other to attract visitors and other stakeholders to come to their town. It is important that the citizens feel as they are a part of the message that the city sends out in its communication.Cities are today working actively with their brands, much like regular companies, in order to create the profile and image in order to be competitive against other cities and places. Cities and places are part of a dynamic process which includes both positive and negative events. These events might have an impact on the brands, and therefore it is a necessity to be able to react on these events to make the most of positive things and deal with the negative in a way that minimizes the effects on the brand.Citybranding as a research field is quite new.

 An analysis in the work of Martin Kellermans comic ?Rocky? of the interaction between the male and female characters and of how each of their gender are portrayed. We are going to find out if it is probable for young adults to be affected by any eventual gender-stereotypes that we can find in ?Rocky? or if ?Rocky? consolidates a stereotypical image of men and women that young adults might have developed through different media. We conduct this analys by first reading through random seleceted ?Rocky? books and present some of the comic strips where men and women interact with each other or discuss the opposite sex..

Crisis communication in today's society is an important element for organizations. Whether an organization makes it through a crisis, good or bad is largely based on their crisis communication work. Crisis communication is about how the organization works to repair or maintain the organization's external image, the image that society has about the organization. When a crisis occurs stakeholders lose confidence in the organization or change their mind about it.This case study is about exploring how a municipality handles crisis communication through the various phases of a crisis. The study is also to examine how the municipality communicates with its stakeholders in specific communication channels during a crisis.The case study makes use of theories circulating crisis communication, such as: theories of how crisis communication should be handled, how a crisis is recognized, the different phases of a crisis, the communication channels that can be used and who may be interested in an organization when a crisis reveals itself.

The basic ingredient of paper is the individual wood fibers. The property of the fibers depends on a variety of factors e.g., method of pulp production and processing. The final sheet quality depends in part on how the fibers interface between each other and therefore factors that affect the fiber size are of interest.The flexibility of the fibers depends in part on the pore water i.e., the fiber swelling. The sheet becomes less flexible at low water content which gives a loss in strength. Thus it becomes desirable to increase the water uptake.The experimental investigation described in this report consists of exposing the wood fibers to different ions and ionic strength and then measure the pore size by thermoporosimetry where a DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimeter) is used.

Children's Need In Focus (BBIC) is a processing and documentation system used in child welfare cases to investigate, plan and monitor interventions. The BBIC has had a breakthrough in Sweden and out of the country's 290 municipalities, there are 284 that use the system daily as a tool in cases involving children. The purpose of this study was to examine how social workers experience the BBIC as a working system and what strengths and weaknesses there are in the BBIC concept. We wanted our study to examine how the BBIC could possibly enhance the quality of childcare matters, but also how the BBIC could potentially increase children's participation in cases. We have performed qualitative interviews with eight social workers who work in four different municipalities where the BBIC is applied daily.

The purpose of this study was to investigate what knowledge 16 year old highschool students have when it comes to text- and imageposting on social media and how they act on the basis of their skills and attitudes on text and image publishing. An important aspect of this was to investigate the impact of young people 's identity in relation to text- and image posting on social media as this according to research is a big part of what motivates young people in their everyday practices (Buckingham, 2008). The essay questions was , What is young people?s experience on posting text- and image on social media? How aware are young people at the pros and cons on posting text and images on social media? What are young people's attitudes about text and image posting? And how do young people act on the basis of experience , awareness and attitude? Which role plays identity in their actions? To seek answers to my questions and achieve the aim of the thesis was conducted three semi-structured focusgroup interviews in collaboration with two high schools. The results have been reported, interpreted and analyzed by pattern-seeking. The theoretical framework used in this paper is the research and theories of primarily media researchers who have distinguished themselves in the Media and Youth research, For example, Ulla Carlsson, David Buckingham, Sonia Livingstone and Kristen Drotner.

Dagens textilbransch karaktäriseras till stor del av snabbt föränderliga trender. Det råder en hård konkurrens på marknaden och kunden besitter i stor utsträckning en god kunskap och en medvetenhet, vilket ställer högre krav på det utbud som företaget erbjuder. Vidare har hemtextilbranschen under de senaste åren präglats av en ökad konkurrensnivå. Flera aktörer så som exempelvis stormarknader, färghandlare och byggvaruhus har utökat sitt sortiment med hemtextil och är därmed med och tävlar om hemtextilkunderna. I denna situation är det viktigt att ha ett välplanerat sortiment eftersom det bland annat speglar företagets affärsidé samt kommunicerar vad affärsidén erbjuder och till vem.

Parent?s participation in the gender equality-work in preschool describes, as well as its significance.

I denna studie analyseras hur de statliga bolagen Systembolaget och Svenska spel går tillväga för att skapa trovärdighet i sin omgivning av kunder och intressenter. Undersökningen är genomförd på informativ och extern kommunikation som finns på bolagens hemsidor, varav två reklamfilmer även visas i svensk tv.Syfte: Båda bolagen befinner sig i en etiskt ambivalent situation då de genom sina statliga uppdrag måste uppnå ett vinstkrav och samtidigt begränsa försäljningen av produkter som kan ha en negativ inverkan på människors hälsa. Studiens syfte är att granska hur de båda bolagen resonerar kring sin verksamhet och hur denna trovärdighetsbyggande kommunikation kan tolkas med hjälp av ett retoriskt och narrativt synsätt.Metod: En narrativanalys används för att förtydliga berättelsernas olika roller, teman, handlingar och miljöer och hur de fyller en funktion för att uppnå ett påverkanssyfte och identifikation. Vissa argument granskas med hjälp av de retoriska appellerna ethos, pathos och logos. En analys av ethos urskiljer dessutom ur bolagens resonemang hur de vill uppfattas av sin publik, och hur publiken kan tänkas uppfatta deras image.

This thesis has focused on the possibility to use a satellite image method developed by Metria Mijöanalys to identify stands that are wrongly registered in Holmen Skogs database. The method is only intended for identifying stand with poor descriptions in Holmen?s database that needs to be updated and not for updating the stand information. The study area is located several km west of Hudiksvall on the borderline between Gävleborgs- och Västernorrlands län. The area is covered by a SPOT image from 2005. By which Metria Miljöanalys has made estimates of forest parameters for all stands in the area, and compared them with corresponding estimates according to the stand database.
