My aim is to illustrate how discourses within these organizations are a result of the combination of local and global conditions..

Inledning: Denna uppsats i företagsekonomi behandlar skyltfönster ur konsumenters synvinkel.

Marknaden för köpcentrer har i många år ökat och en rad olika handelsplatser etablerar sigrunt om i landet. Konkurrensen mellan de olika affärshusen är stor vilket har gjort det viktigtatt sticka ut i mängden. Historien visar att många handelsplatser och köpcentrer är väldigt likavarandra i upplägg och utformning, vilket gör konkurrensen ännu mer påtaglig. Kritikermenar att även marknadskommunikationen har varit likvärdig mellan olika köpcentrer ochenligt konsumenternas mening är den bristfällig.

A film can attract all kinds of emotions and moods of the audience through its audiovisual communications and cinematic expression, in which music plays a significant role in both understanding and interpretation of film content.It is interesting to explore the musical significance and the emotional aspect of the film out of a media and communications perspective and visual communications perspective because it?s a subject that belongs to the communications of scientific discipline as film is a media text which is working both as communicative and as audio-visual medium with its expressive aspects.The purpose of this bachelor?s paper is to increase and deepen the understanding of music's function and significant role in context with its reinforcing sense of visual expression in film. More specifically, it aims to explore the musical value of the expressive aspect of the media text in form of film musical Les Misérables (2012), which has been transmedialised from the novel of the same name, referring to the sound, music and song in relation to the film's visual expression.The research questions are at the core of the essay study: "how is music used to reinforce the cinematic visual expression?" and "how can music signify the narrative and highlight the emotional aspect of the film?" The theoretical framework is based on some of the key scholars assumptions such as Michel Chion (1994) and Claudia Gorbman (1987), who share the same theoretical views that the soundtrack seems powerful when it expresses its participation in a scene?s emotional moods as the music follows the scene?s rhythm, the image?s flow and contributes emotional and musical codes of emotions and expressions. According to Chion sound and image interact together to tell a story where sound enrich the image with expressive and informative values.

Titel: Landskrona stad i media - En studie av Landskrona stads profil i Landskrona Posten.Författare: Louise OstreniusUppdragsgivare: Landskrona StadKurs: Examensarbete i Media och KommunikationsvetenskapHandledare: Jan StridSidantal: 50 sidor (16604 ord), inklusive bilagor.Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka i vilken utsträckning den bild Landskrona Posten ger av Landskrona Stad stämmer överens med stadens önskade profil och varumärke.Metod: Kvantitativ innehållsanalys samt kvalitativ textanalys.Material: 390 artiklar från Landskrona Posten 2012-2013Resultat: Resultatet påvisar att den bild av Landskrona stad som framgår i den lokala dagspressen Landskrona Posten, ger en relativt verklighetsenligt bild av staden. Balansen mellan artiklar med ett positivt samt negativt anspråk har en jämnfördelning och stämmer även braöverens med den statistiska situationen av brottslighet och segregation som råder i Landskrona.Däremot kan man se stora avvikelser mellan verkligheten, den medialt förmedlade verklighetenoch den önskade profil och image som Landskrona eftersträvar i sitt varumärkesarbete. Tydligaparalleller kan dras mellan den bild av Landskrona stad som Landskrona Posten förmedlar till läsaren och den statistiska verkligheten där mångkulturen är utbredd och antydan till segregation finns, likväl som brottsstatistiken är hög. Självklart är det möjligt att förändra stadens profil och image åt önskat håll men framförallt måste tydliga riktlinjer, stark tro inom kommunen och en statistisk och trovärdig förändring ske innan detta är möjligt. Däremot är inte den bild förmedlad av Landskrona Posten av så stor inverkan som det från början tycktes verka.
