Finanskrisens Island - En analys av bankernas risktagande
Bakgrund och problem: Under hösten 2008 när den finansiella krisen spred sig över världeni och med att den amerikanska banken Lehman Brothers gick i konkurs ökade rädslan för attfler banker skulle gå i konkurs. Det gjorde att banker inte vågade låna ut pengar till varandra ilika stor omfattning som det hade gjorts tidigare. Det här skapade likviditetsbrist hos bankersom tidigare varit beroende av lån från kreditinstitut och medförde till slut att de tre störstabankerna på Island gick i konkurs; Kaupthing, Landsbanki och Glitnir.De isländska bankerna liksom de flesta av världens banker använder sig av Basel II som är ettregelverk som ger vägledning i hur banker bland annat skall beräkna och upplysa om sinarisker. Regelverket ger även riktlinjer på hur tillsynsmyndigheter skall följa upp att bankernaföljer regelverket på rätt sätt.Syfte: Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka hur väl de isländska bankerna har uppfylltupplysningskraven som finns beskrivna enligt Basel II och i vilken utsträckning det påförhand har kunnat utläsas av årsredovisningarna att de isländska bankerna var särskilt utsatta.Avgränsningar: Vi har avgränsat oss till att studera den tredje pelaren i Basel II sombehandlar upplysningskrav. Vi har studerat de isländska bankernas årsredovisningar för åren2003-2007 och jämfört deras siffror med Nordea för samma period.Metod: Uppsatsen har arbetats fram utifrån en kvalitativ ansats genom att årsredovisningarnaför Kaupthing, Landsbanki, Glitnir och Nordea har granskats.

Hundfoder mot hjärnans åldrande ? kan det fungera?
Due to better nutrition, veterinary and overall care, pet dogs? lifespan has increased. With more old dogs we see more health problems associated with age, among those cognitive decline, leading to deficits in learning and memory, disorientation, anxiety and other altered behaviors. Cognitive decline can have severe negative impacts on the life of both dog and owner, when the dog for example forgets being housetrained or starts being awake at night.
Two pet food manufacturers have developed food with specific ingredients in order to improve cognitive functions or delay the onset of cognitive impairment. Hill?s Pet Nutrition has developed a dog food with supplements of a broad spectrum of antioxidants and mitochondrial nutrients, aiming to diminish oxidative damage in the brain, thereby maintaining brain function and improving learning ability.
Politikens medialisering : En kritisk diskursanalys av fyra ledande politikers twittrande
The empirical material of this study consisted of tweets by four leading politicians in Sweden: Carl Bildt of Nya Moderaterna, Annie Lo?o?f of Centerpartiet, A?sa Romson of Miljo?partiet and Jonas Sjo?stedt of Va?nsterpartiet. The aim of the study was to examine how they use Twitter as a political tool and what that says of the mediatization of politics. What content did they publish, how did the content differentiate between them and what political messages and other subjects occurred in their tweets? Does the political debate become fragmented because they?re only allowed to use 140 characters on Twitter? The theoretical framework and method applied for the research was based upon critical discourse analysis (CDA), with special interest in ideology and mediatized discourse.The result of the study showed that the content they published consisted mostly of criticism towards political opponents, rather than of independent political opinions.
Why did't Reagan invade Rhode Island instead? : En studie om Ronald Reagans motiv till att USA skulle intervenera på Grenada.
Studien behandlar de motiv den amerikanske presidenten Ronald Reagan fann till att USA skulle intervenera på Grenada, samt hur denna motivbild skapades. Som teori användes John J Mearsheimers offensiva realism och metoden tog sin utgångspunkt i Ernesto Laclau och Chantal Mouffes diskursanalys. Materialet som undersöktes bestod av texter och uttalanden med Reagan som avsändare. I analysen visade sig både motiv tillhörande den realistiska och liberala diskursen. Den liberala diskursen var dock underställd den realistiska, vilket visade på en hegemoni för den senare..
?Livsformernas strukturering av mäns och kvinnors vardagsliv på landsbygden : ?En studie kring könsstrukturerna i djurhållande företag i Kalmar län.
AbstractThis study is performed by studying seven livestock businesses in the agricultural sector. The focus of the essay has been put on the structures that limit and enable the lives of the farmers in this study. One of these major structures that affect everyday life is the gender structure and to this day the housewife role exists where the women are responsible for the home, family and domestic pets while the men are responsible for the production, machinery and the heavier tasks on the farm. This is grounded in the history and the development that agriculture has gone through, but also in the strong patriarchal power structure that exists in this industry. In this essay I also show how the life form analysis of Liselotte Jakobsen and the independent life form can not be fully applied to the farmer as he is not completely independent in his work.

Bild och begrepp : Heideggers läsning av Kant ur ett fenomenologiskt perspektiv
This thesis explores some key aspects of early Heidegger?s interpretations of Kant from a phenomenological perspective. In general terms, it analyzes Heidegger?s claim that Kant?s faculties share a common root in the transcendental imagination, as a critical development of motives found in Husserl?s phenomenology.More precisely, the thesis argues that the motive for deriving Kant?s first faculty, intuition, from the synthesis of imagination can be understood as an attempt to account for the receptivity of a finite subject, without yielding to a causal description of sensibility. Phenomenology shares this problem with Kant?s critical philosophy.

Den heliga treenigheten : en fallstudie av kommunikationsprocessen mellan ledning, anställda och säljbolag på Alfa Laval AB
The manufacturing industry is currently in a short-term downturn while the competition is increasing. The result of this is that companies must find new ways to bring out their products.

Higher demands are presented on an accurate, well functional, communication between customer and companies, as this has become an important strategic factor in achieving long-term profitability.The aim of this independent project was to analyze and evaluate the communication process between a company and its sales companies.In order to illustrate this process, a case study was carried out at Alfa Laval, their sales companies and employees at their distribution center in Tumba. In order to see the differences in attitudes between the management, the sales companies and the employees regarding communication and involvement a gap analysis were used.The theoretical part of the study considers theories about business mission, communication, involvement, quality and creating value.The result showed that a smaller gap exists between the sales companies and the management while a slightly larger one exists between the employees and the management.
