This essay examines the possibilities of writing a counter history about Anne Charlotte Leffler that does not have - like most of the previous studies and literary histories upon Leffler - the Swedish boundaries or the Swedish language as its model. That is to say that this essay, in opposition to most of the hitherto writings on Anne Charlotte Leffler, values the international reception as high as the Swedish reception. It does so by undertaking a case study based on the German review Deutsche Rundschau, which published six short stories by and three articles about Anne Charlotte Leffler between 1884 and 1894. The short stories and the articles in Deutsche Rundschau are compared with two other documents of reception that contribute to the understanding of the German reception of Leffler. The examination shows that the focus on the international reception can contribute to illuminate aspects of Anne Charlotte Lefflers authorship that previously have been disregarded.

Today every organization is committed to some kind of environmental scanning in order to get necessary knowledge of the world around them. The acquisition, organization and storage of information in combination with a strategic use, is today an important factor for a successful organisation in any sector of our society.In this Master thesis I have studied how an organisation such as The Confederation of Swedish Enterprise (Svenskt Näringsliv) handles its information resources. I have also looked at the flow of information within the organization. The Confederation of Swedish Enterprise is Sweden?s largest business federation representing 50 member organizations and 55 000 member companies.

The use of environmental management systems, and objectives-led corporate management have become a widespread phenomenon today. Identification and assessment of an organisation?s significant (environmental) aspects is crucial within this work. Identification and especially assessment of significant aspects is often considered as a problematic step in many organisations. There are no generally accepted methods how to undertake this crucial step.

The Swedish retail business has been characterized by a small number of ruling distributors. These distributors have been affected negatively by the internationalization which has made it possible for international distributors to establish their stores in the Swedish market. These international distributors are focused on low price stores. Their establishment on the Swedish market has led to a decrease in market shares for the Swedish distributors, which has damaged their profitability. Another change that has affected the Swedish distributors is that the behavior and needs of the customers has changed.

Luftvärnets organisationstillhörighet är en historiskt återkommande fråga där olika lösningar genom tiderna går att finna i Sverige såväl som internationellt. Den här uppsatsen avser att jämföra Sveriges och Norges olika val av tillhörighet för det markbaserade luftvärnet. Syftet är att bidra till förklaringen varför vi har olika organisatoriska lösningar och analysera huruvida det finns några incitament för att se över dagens organisation. Undersökningen har genomförts genom att studera Sveriges och Norges luftvärnsutveckling, med stöd av organisationsteori, för att finna bakomliggande faktorer för val av organisation.Jämförelsen påvisar flera skillnader i ländernas luftvärnsutveckling som kan ge förklaringskraft till organisationsvalet. Den mest utmärkande skillnaden avser prioriteringen av skyddsvärda objekt.

Den teoretiska bakgrunden tar upp self-efficacy som begrepp och dess betydelse för medarbetare och organisation. Syftet med studien är att undersöka om samband finns mellan self-efficacy och interaktion mellan medarbetare och chef. Self-efficacy mäts med GSE, i översättning av Koskinen-Hagman et al (1999), medarbetar-chefsinteraktion mäts med egenkonstruerade frågor i samma enkät i syfte att undersöka relationerna avseende bl a nöjdhet, chefsnärvaro, kontaktfrekvens, problemlösning. Deltagare består av 58 medarbetare från samma organisation varav 83 % är kvinnor. Studien visar att samband finns mellan self-efficacy och hur medarbetare uppfattar interaktionen med sin chef avseende närvaro, nöjdhet samt hur medarbetare själva agerar vid problem på arbetet.

Micro-power wind energy convertors have recently increased in popularity. The reasons for this are among other things the increasing cost of electric energy and enviromental concern.In this thesis the connection of these micro-power wind energy convertors to the utility network is discussed. Electric standards for the connection of small production units is presented. Finally some calculations and measurements of electric quality are also presented. The utility network used in the calculations is part of Halmstad Energi och Miljö network..

Even though terrorism has been on the political agenda for several years there is no general accepted definition of the phenomena of terrorism. Several scientist do also apply that terrorism have changed after the 9/11-attacks. The purpose with this thesis was to analyze and compare the image of terrorism represented by the United States, United Kingdom, Sweden and Norway, in an attempt to draw conclusions about similarities and differentials. The material that was used was these four nations individual counter terrorism strategy. This was made by using idea analysis and self constructed dimensions based on earlier science about security, terrorism and international law.

 This report is about the principle and his / her role at the school it?s also about how the principle understands the role, its expectations and the demands connected. The facts are based on deep detailed interviews with three different principles. The theoretical approach is coming from ?hermeneutiken? and ?Gadamers? ideas regarding how an individual is creating the world and the surroundings to act within.

Då arbetsplatserna kan upplevas som allt tystare är det av vikt att det trots allt finns individer som larmar om oegentligheter inom de egna organisationerna. Individer som gör så kallas whistleblowers och denna studie syftar till att försöka förstå en del i de bakomliggande orsakerna till detta beteende. Vi har studerat vilken betydelse den rådande organisationsstrukturen samt individens inre principer har för whistleblowing. Studien är kvalitativ och består av fem intervjuer med såväl personer som agerat whistleblowers, samt personer som i sin yrkesroll fyller en funktion som whistleblowers. Alla våra intervjupersoner är kopplade till människovårdande organisationer.

Bakgrund: Människor tenderar att identifiera sig själva med olika sociala grupper, exempelvis utifrån professions- eller organisationstillhörighet. Individer inom samma sociala grupp formar ofta liknande normer och värderingar, vilket skapar en känsla av tillhörighet. I en professionell organisation tenderar medarbetare tillhörande en profession att identifiera sig med sin profession snarare än sin organisation, vilket i sin tur påverkar relationen mellan individ och organisation. Under de senaste åren har begreppet medarbetarskap blivit alltmer populärt på den svenska arbetsmarknaden. Begreppet innefattar hur medarbetare hanterar relationen till sin arbetsgivare och till det egna arbetet.

Syftet med studien är att förstå vilka arbetsrelaterade faktorer som kan påverkar den interna rörligheten i en organisation. Eftersom ämnet är förhållandevis oprövat (Hallqvist 2005, 2) är målet med studien också att lämna ett bidrag till forskningen inom den interna rörligheten.I avsnittet presenteras teorier och tidigare forskning om arbetsrelaterade faktorer som påverkar den interna rörligheten. Fokus läggs på faktorer som har sin grund i organisationers hantering av intern rörlighet och i organisationers uppbyggnad och struktur. Även faktorer med sin grund i organisationskultur och i incitament till intern rörlighet presenteras.Med en fallstudie åsyftades att mer ingående kunna beskriva hur det ser i ut i en specifik organisation (Jacobsen 2002, 98). Vidare användes kvalitativ metod med semistrukturerade intervjuer för insamling av material och totalt genomfördes sex intervjuer med medarbetare och chefer i en organisation.Resultatet av studien tyder på att det finns ett flertal arbetsrelaterade faktorer som påverkar den intern rörligheten.

This paper investigates the representations of Africans in the Swedish comic press around the time 1880-1920, with the purpose of establishing how Africans were depicted and how these representations can be explained. The sources consist of four comic magazines: Kasper, Söndags-Nisse, Strix and Naggen.Results show that images of Africans in the late 19th and early 20th century Swedish comic press highly conform to international representations. Traditional stereotypes and overall caricatures are widely applied, mediating racial difference and black subordination. The comic strips and jokes can be divided into categories, defined by their main theme: 1) Exotic animals and nature 2) Skin colour 3) The unintelligent or uncivilised savage 4) Cannibalism 5) The civilised African 6) Imperialistic overtones. The use of international stereotypes indicates that some comic strips might have been directly copied from foreign publications, and incorporated into Swedish contexts.Several theories, likely interacting, can be considered in explaining the imagery.
