This study investigated the relation between Extraversion and Conscientiousness with job satisfaction and job selection in the two occupational groups of telemarketing and administration. The study also set out to explore the relation between social desirability as assessed with an Implicit Association Test (IAT) and total reaction time on the IAT. The questionnaire was administered over the Internet to forty-one subjects (24 women and 17 men) in the age range 16-65. Results indicated that people working with telemarketing tend to be extrovert while people working with administration often are conscientious. Job satisfaction correlated with Extraversion in the telemarketing group.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the narrative in You are a bad man, mr Gum! to be able to understand and explain the intermedial aspects of the work. I assume an intermedial, narratological and reception theory perspective in my analysis. The method of close reading is used combined with a reader-oriented perspective. I examine the medial aspects of the chosen work through the pictures, the text, and the iconicity of the typographical pattern of the text. To reach my goal, the following questions are dealt with: What is the character of the narration? How do the various media interact in the production of meaning? What is the relationship between the text and the implicit reader? What is the narratological difference between reading the book aloud and silently? The theoretical framework f the paper consists of narratological and intermedial theories.

The purpose of this thesis is to study how homosexuals and homosexuality were represented in the press during the trials against the Pentecostal pastor Åke Green, and to what kind of social representations and narratives these representations can be related.Using critical discourse analysis and theories about the differentiation between in- and outgroups I try to unveil implicit meanings and attitudes towards gay people mainly at the local text level. The material consists of articles in Ölandsbladet and Dagens Nyheter that were produced before, during and after the trials.The analysis suggests that homosexuals are construed as a deviant outgroup and that the majority, the ingroup, is presented as an essentially heterosexual, tolerant community. Homosexuality is wrong and heterosexuality is the right way of living. Homosexuals, in terms of group lobbyism, are construed as an enemy, a threat, against Western ideals such as family values and freedom of speech. They indirectly become a threat to Swedish democracy.

I följande studie studeras kunskapsöverföring med fokus pÄ hur tvÄ offentliga verksamheter valt att tillvarata den tysta kunskapen genom kompetensutvecklingsinsatser i form av chefsprogram. Vidare undersöker studien hur programdeltagarna motiveras att delta i programmet samt den process som kunskapsöverföringen innebÀr. Syftet med studien var att tolka och förstÄ hur den tysta kunskapen kan tillvaratas och överföras inom tvÄ offentliga verksamheter genom att studera verksamheternas kompetensutvecklingsinsatser för chefer pÄ direkt nivÄ. En chef pÄ direkt nivÄ har inte nÄgon understÀlld chef utan enbart understÀllda medarbetare. Detta utförs genom att finna likheter och skillnader mellan hur verksamheterna utformat sina chefsprogram.

The fact that a duty of loyalty within the Swedish company law exists should be regarded as indisputable according to the Swedish doctrine, but its content and scope is however more severe identified. As the duty of loyalty is not regulated in the ABL and the fact that there are not many precedents in this area, means that it is difficult to know the boundaries of the company managementÂŽs duty of loyalty. It is also unclear whether the company managementÂŽs duty of loyalty to the company also is targeting the shareholders. It is this issue that we intend to discuss in the final chapter of this thesis. In order to answer our questions, we will in chapter two to six give an account of the foundation of the duty of loyalty and thereafter describe the management's duty of loyalty to the company.

FörstÄelsen för andra mÀnniskor som krÀvs för lyckade interaktioner, förklaras i attributionsteorierna "Theory of Mind" och "Simulation Theory. Ett vanligt men ouppklarat fenomen Àr det fundamentala attributionsfelet, dÀr beteende felaktigt attribueras till inre generella egenskaper. Fenomenet reflekterar en abstrakt mental konstruktion i enlighet med Construal Level Theorys antagande om hur psykologisk distans inverkar pÄ perception. I en modifierad Attitude Attribution Paradigm modell undersöks om spatial distans pÄverkar det fundamentala attributionsfelet och om skillnader föreligger mellan kvinnor och mÀn. Kort/lÄng spatial distans primades genom en kontroversiell text, via information om dess kompositionsplats, som fungerade som underlag för bedömning av skribentens Äsikt.

This thesis presents the implementation of a knowledge base system for rough sets [Paw92]within the logic programming framework. The combination of rough set theory with logic programming is a novel approach. The presented implementation serves as a prototype system for the ideas presented in [VDM03a, VDM03b]. The system is available at "http://www.ida.liu.se/rkbs". The presented language for describing knowledge in the rough knowledge base caters for implicit definition of rough sets by combining different regions (e.g.

???This research traces the trajectory of those methods of teaching grammar that five different teachers in Swedish from Stockholm municipality use in their practice. ?Their both constructive and negative attitudes towards grammar were in fokus when looking after the connection between their own experience of learning/teaching native language grammar and the methods that they are actually using in their own classes. I was trying to gain knowledge and achieve the purpose of this research by means of a qualitativ method.

Previous studies have pointed out the potential risks involved with targeting homosexual consumers by using ads with homosexual imagery in mainstream media. Many of these studies have indicated that there may be drawbacks with exposing heterosexuals to these kinds of advertisements. The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether this is true for all groups of heterosexual consumers. An experimental study was carried out to examine the effects of explicit homosexual imagery on a heterosexual group with a generally positive attitude towards homosexuality. Empirical evidence suggests that homosexual imagery does not elicit any negative reactions among these heterosexual consumers.

The aim of this study is to investigate the discourses of widening recruitment to higher education in some political documents from the 21st century. The scientific method applied is critical discourse analysis as developed by Norman Fairclough. This implies the analyses of the actual texts, the social practice as well as the discursive practice, i.e. the conditions under which the texts are produced, distributed and consumed.The major results include four discourses: a post-modern discourse, a neoliberal economic discourse, a political discourse of multi-culturalism and a modern discourse with its roots in the 20th century?s discussions about social imbalance in recruitment to higher education.

This thesis is a qualitative study in which 12 award-winning printed adverts, awarded with either a Swedish ?GuldÀgg? or an international Clio Award, have been analyzed from a rhetorical perspective. Visual rhetorics were used to analyze the adverts in order to expose the rhetorical concepts and to find out whether the rhetorical concepts represented in the Swedish adverts are the same concepts represented in the international adverts. One of the conclusions drawn is that pathos-arguments, a rhetorical concept where the senders allude to the emotions of the receivers, are the most prominent in both Swedish and international adverts, but are used in different ways. Another conclusion drawn is that the adverts are overall characterized by their messages not being explicit.

Syftet med denna uppsats var att undersöka hur begreppet energi skulle kunna anvÀndas som en förklaringsfaktor i historieundervisningen. Undersökningen bygger pÄ en textundersökning av tre av de mest anvÀnda historielÀroböckerna för kursen Historia A pÄ gymnasiet. Vi har studerat lÀroböckerna i olika nedslag, valda utifrÄn relevant miljöhistorisk forskning, för att se i vilken utstrÀckning och pÄ vilket sÀtt historielÀroboksförfattare anvÀnder sig av energi som en förklaringsfaktor. UtifrÄn lÀroböckerna och forskningen har vi diskuterat hur begreppet energi skulle kunna vara en central förklaringsfaktor i den historiska förÀndringsprocessen. Undersökningens resultat visade att lÀroboksförfattare i relativt hög grad anvÀnder sig implicit av energibegreppet i sina framstÀllningar, Àven explicita exempel förekommer.
