More and more companies open up facilities and stores in countries all around the world. Entering a new country means a new culture, a new language, different norms and values and new people with a different way of thinking unlike what you are used to. In order to survive and be successful in this new country means that you have to adapt to the new culture and its components you encounter.The purpose of this thesis has been to identify possibilities and barriers in the Middle Eastern culture affecting international clothing companies. Furthermore it has been investigated how these companies must adapt their products and promotion to this culture.In order to obtain relevant data for achieving the purpose of the study interviews and observations was made at three international clothing companies in Tehran, Iran. These were Mango, United Colors of Benetton and adidas.

Dagens svenska samhälle har blivit allt mer etniskt och kulturellt diversifierat. Detta nya moderna och mångkulturella samhälle förändras både lokalt och globalt. Medier spelar en viktig roll i denna process. Utifrån ett postkolonialt feministiskt perspektiv undersöker denna uppsats mediekonsumtionen hos tio persiska kvinnor i Malmö. Hur denna konsumtion avspeglar sig i kvinnornas identitetsförhandlingar, etniska härkomst samt deras kulturella och transnationella position i samhället.

I rapporten beskrivs sjöfarten, och sjöfartsindustrin i allmänhet för att sedan göra ett djupdyk i den tidiga fartygsprojekteringsprocessen, där propellerdesignen står i speciellt fokus. Efter projekteringsstudien, där genomförbarheten av en oljetransport mellan Bandar Abbas och Nynäshamn utreds, studeras möjligheten att exploatera nya oljekällor i Arktis.Propellermodellering visar en möjlig metod för propellerdesign där med hjälp av enkla antaganden rörande energibalans, strömning och bladgeometri fås resultat vilka visar propellereffektiviteten vid uppfyllandet av den krävda propellereffekten. Modelleringsmetoden används senare i fartygsprojekteringen som ett riktmärke för att välja en lämplig standardpropeller ur kataloger.Oljetransportscenariot som utreds innefattar val av lämpligt fartyg, antal fartyg som behövs, huvuddimensioner hos fartygen, propellerval och motorval, samt stabilitets och motståndsberäkningar. För att uppfylla den efterfrågade leveransen av råolja till Nynäshamn anses det nödvändigt att två fartyg byggs då storleken hos fartygen begränsas från hamnrestriktioner i Sverige. Fartygen som projekteras får båda en lastkapacitet på 150 000 ton och respektive fartyg förväntas transportera olja från Bandar Abbas i Iran till Nynäshamn, Sverige, inom loppet av en månad.

The main aim of this paper is to illurninate how a group of immigrants meet the publiclibrary in Sweden. I have chosen to discuss Iranian immigrants' meeting with the publiclibrary in Borås. The investigation (qualitative interviews and inquiries) has taken placein the public library of Borås and partly in a local library with high density of immigrants.A theoretical perspective deals with the case study of dual marginality, where theconception of the "Marginal Man" or "The Outsider" is central. I have indicated how theprevious authors have considered this problem, to live on the verge between twodifferent cultures and how individuals react on it.The interviews and inquiries answered by Iranian immigrants are the most importantmaterial in this investigation and the result of them is connected to the theoreticalperspective and a discussion, what it means for the public library..

Detta arbete riktas framför allt till omvärlden, men också till assyrierna/syrianerna, främst till andra generationen assyrier/syrianer som lever idag i exil. De som lever i trygghet och säkerhet, skall uppmärksammas om vad som händer där ute i det verkliga livet. Arbetet skall förhoppningsvis bidra till högre kunskaper om minoritetsfolken i krigshärjade och diktatoriska länder som Irak, Iran, Syrien och Turkiet. Dessa är bara några få länder av de vars befolkning lider av tortyr, förtryck och förföljelse. Faktum är att en del etniska minoriteter har övergivits och lämnats åt sitt öde.

Jag vill med min uppsats undersöka bilden av kvinnan i samtida Iransk konst och besvara frågor om-        vilken kvinnobild som lyfts fram-        vilket kvinnoideal-        huruvida kvinnorna i bilderna är bundna till dessa ideal eller om de är fria att bestämma själva-        om kvinnorna bryter mot sin egen kulturs ideal, och i sådant fall, fastnar de då i någon annan kulturs kvinnoideal?För att kunna besvara frågorna har jag valt ut tre samtida kvinnliga Iranska konstnärer och analyserar två verk var av dem. Konstnärerna är Shadi Ghadirian, Shirin Aliabadi och Sagher Daeeri, alla tre verksamma i Iran.Jag har i mina analyser använt mig av en semiotisk analysmetod och jag har en feministisk och kulturell infallsvinkel i mitt resonemang och använder mig av feministiska konstteorier..

I denna uppsats undersöks rollspelets potential att motverka diskriminering och förtryck i förtryckande regimer. Jag tar avstamp i de mänskliga rättigheterna och i dramapedagogikens essens och styrkor. Jag beskriver Youngs diskrimineringsteorier, samt Freire och Boals pedagogiska teorier om den frigörande teaterns styrkor och syften, och presenterar en intervju om rollspelsanvändande mot kvinnoförtryck i Iran. I analysen söker jag samband mellan de olika tillvägagångssätten i användning och syfte med rollspel utifrån materialet och presenterar mina slutsatser; rollspel i förtryckande regimer kan leda till sammanhangsskapande, frigörelse från inre förtryck, och medvetengörande för individ och grupp om hur man kan skapa en dialog om förtryck..

This thesis is an investigation of Iranian immigrants and their use of libraries in Sweden. It isbased on a combination of a qualitative and a·quantitative method.Using a qualitative method, I give an outline of the history of lran from ancient times up to the present, as well as the different ethnological groups in Iran and their cultures. The main objective of this part is to clarify the contrasts between Iranian and Swedish cultural, social, linguistic and family structures, and also the characteristics of the crisis that most immigrants go through on their arrival in the new country. The qualitative method also involves structured telephone interviews with eight highly educated Iranians.This method was supplemented by a quantitative study through questionnaires of the attitudes· of lranian immigrants to libraries and reading. Iranians in Sweden turned out to be frequent Iibrary users.

Den här uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka vilken Iransk identitet som skapas av landets ledning och på så sätt bidra till förståelsen av den Iranska politiken. Frågeställningen är: "Hur ser den identitet ut som konstrueras av det Iranska ledarskapet genom deras offentliga tal gällande kärnkraftsfrågan?". Frågan besvaras utifrån ett konstruktivistiskt perspektiv och med Laclaus och Mouffes diskursteori som metod. Analysen består av en kartläggning av ekvivalenskedjorna för Vi, "Den Iranska nationen", och De Andra, "Irans Fiender".
