ABSTRACT Title: The new Public ServiceAuthors: Hanna Haeggström, Sara Marklund, Madeleine OlssonLevel: Bachelor thesis in Media and Communications Studies Supervisor: Olof HulténLocation: School of Communication and Design, University of Kalmar, spring 2008Language: SwedishNumber of pages: 55There is an ongoing change of the media industry where new types of media emerge as a result of technological advancements. The audience and their use of the media have changed where available range has expanded while the size of the audience has remained the same. For media companies this implies a fight for the audience, where the right approach is vital for keeping as well as attracting new customers. Public service is an issue under current debate and its future role in the media industry has been brought into question. This survey investigates the roll of public service in Scandinavia in a new and changing media industry and how they should act to be important for their audience.

Vissa grupper i samhället uppmärksammas mer än andra. Det kan finnas många anledningar till detta men ofta handlar det om avvikande beteende. I denna antologi behandlas grupper som av den samhälleliga normen betraktas, eller riskerar att bli betraktade, som avvikande. Gemensamt för de fält som studeras är att insatser, bland annat i form av institutioner och organisationer, har tillsatts för att erbjuda hjälp och arbeta förebyggande för att de berörda ska fungera inom den rådande samhällsordningen. Vi har studerat professionellt arbetande personers föreställningar om ett väl fungerande drogförebyggande arbete, elever och skolpersonals föreställningar om diagnosen DAMP och ungdomar som diagnostiserats med DAMP, nattvandrare med fokusering på tjejers kriminalitet, brottsoffers livsvillkor utifrån verksamma personer på Brottsofferjouren och organisationen Kriminellas Revansch I Samhället med representanter.

The purpose of this thesis is to gain a holistic understanding of who are the consumers of fortified health food products; moreover to highlight what are the characteristics of the consumers who are likely to purchase these products. This thesis employed a quantitative strategy with an inductive and a grounded theory approach. The data was collected from a research company. Existing theories in the area of functional food were not possible to find. Considering that the area is new this seems plausible; however, previous studies provided insight for substantive framework.

Denna uppsats avhandlar hur LO ser på sig själva i en tid då globaliseringen av arbetsmarknaden innebär nya utmaningen för LO och fackföreningsrörelsen i stort. Konflikter med utländska företag blir allt vanligare och vi har valt att analysera LO-tidningens framställning av Vaxholmskonflikten, den konflikt som utbröt då LO-förbundet Byggnads satte det lettiska byggföretaget Laval un Partneri i blockad.Syfte är att med en diskursanalytisk ansats studera framställningen av Vaxholmskonflikten i LO-tidningen för att därigenom undersöka hur LO ser på sig själva och sin omvärld. Med andra ord är frågan om hur LO konstituerar sin identitet och ideologi i artiklarna kring Vaxholmskonflikten central i vår analys.Vi har i vår analys kunnat se hur LO artikulerar två motstridiga sätt att se på såväl konflikten i Vaxholm som på övriga politiska frågor, två sätt som vi valt att kalla välfärdsdiskursen och konkurrensdiskursen. Båda diskurserna är såväl politiska som ideologiska och eftersom konkurrensdiskursen är LO:s konstruktion av dom andra står den för allt det som LO inte är och som de inte identifierar sig med. De andra består enligt LO av en mängd grupperingar och institutioner som inte delar LO:s åsikter kring fallet i Vaxholm och/eller i andra politiska frågor rörande den svenska arbetsmarknadsmodellen..

This thesis aimed to study the interaction between an educational technology system and its users and give suggestions for design improvements. The technology system is called EDIT (Educational Development through Information Technology) and has been developed and applied at Linköping University?s Faculty of Health Science. EDIT supports Problem Based Learning and enables scenarios to be presented through the World Wide Web. The study was divided into two parts.

The purpose of this thesis is to show how a good approach can be designed, focusing on the southern approach to the Swedish town Vilhelmina. Prior to the car being part of everyday life, the approach was a road where the town showed itself from the very best side. When the amount of traffic increased, so did noise and other disturbances, and as a consequence industrial areas replaced the residential buildnings at the approaches. Today, the pendulum is turning back and in recent years the approach is regarded as a place to introduce the town. The approach is also the place where cars should slow down from the speed of the main road to the speed of the city.

The New Basel Capital Accord and its influence on small Swedish banks and their retail banking and risk management.Seminar: May 24th, 2007Course: FEK318 Bachelor thesis in Business Administration, 10 Swedish creditsAuthors: Mattias Kjellberg, David Uhlmann & Ivana ZubacAdvisor: Joakim WinborgKeywords: Capital cover, capital requirements, Basel II, credit giving, credit risk, risk management, retail banking, small banks, pillar 2Problem: What influence does Basel II and the new updated management of credit risks in pillar 1 and the active risk control in pillar 2 have on small Swedish banks retail banking?Purpose: Our essay seeks to explore what influence pillar 1 and the new updated management of credit risks in the new capital accord Basel II have on small Swedish banks and what influence pillar 2 have. We also want to explain if Basel II has influences on small Swedish banks credit analysis and possible effects in their risk management and pricing.Methodology: In our essay we use an inductive approach and our chosen research method is the qualitative one. We have chosen to look into four small Swedish banks, and the empirical data is obtained from telephone interviews with selected respondents from Länsförsäkringar Bank, SkandiaBanken, GE Money Bank and ICA Banken.Conclusions:? The work with credit scoring does not get influenced by Basel II if the Standardised Approach is chosen.? Banks that?ve early implemented high technological systems in the organization, that small banks normally do, have gotten an easier transition to Basel II.? Basel II will result in a risk adjusted pricing and a more fair credit market.? Internal Ratings-based Approaches is very demanding to develop, but at the same time it?s a more risk sensitive approach.? Pillar 2 results in a more sophisticated work for the small banks.? Basel II results in a further price press on residential loans in Sweden..

In 1975 the Indian president Indira Gandhi proclaimed the emergency period which would go on until 1977. Under this time approximately 8 million men and women were sterilized in the name of family planning. Many of them did not volunteer. This was not just an Indian con- cern because the family planning program was largely funded by international aid. The Swe- dish involvement in the program was debated 1977?1980, in what has been called ?SIDA?s Watergate?.

Denna uppsats handlar om vad som händer med fosforkoncentrationen i djupvatt- net vid två olika stationer i Östersjön när syrgaskoncentrationen förändras. Mitt syfte var dels att se om fosforhalten ökat och om detta tycks ha samband med minskade syrgashalter. För att få svar på dessa frågor använde jag mig av data från SMHI: s databas SHARK. De två stationer som jag analyserat data ifrån är BY 15, Gotlandsdjupet, och BY 31, Landsortsdjupet. Dessa båda stationer ligger i Egentliga Östersjön och har ett vattendjup på 225 m respektive 440 m.
