Manöverkrigföring är idag ett centralt begrepp inom den konceptuella delen av krigföringsförmåganför många västländer. Luftmaktens betydelse i väpnade konflikter är också aktuell i dagensmilitärteoretiska debatt. Men vad innebär då manöverkrig för luftmakt? Ett land som ibland lyftsfram som skickliga på manöverkrigföring, och som dessutom traditionellt sett använt luftmaktflitigt, är Israel. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka i vilken omfattning Israel använt sig avmanöverkrigföring vid nyttjandet av luftmakt.

The purpose of this paper is to identify the current status of fuel cell technology and to establish whether said technology is mature enough to be implemented into the Swedish Armed Forces. The question to be answered in this paper is as follows: Can hydrogen gas and fuel cells be used as an alternative source of energy within the Swedish Armed Forces?This paper is based on theoretical studies and reports from prior research done on fuel cells. By studying these facts a predictive answer has been obtained. The answer I have come to, is that the maturity of fuel cell technology is currently inadequate for the Swedish Armed Forces to implement, especially considering its harsh working conditions..

Titel:?Nytt toppmöte i sikte?? ?en kvalitativ textanalys med kvantitativa inslag av Göteborgs-postens rapportering från Israel-Palestinakonflikten i samband med OsloprocessenFörfattare:Irini Siga och Elmira BavelKurs:Fördjupningskurs i medie- och kommunikationsvetenskapTermin:Höstterminen 2006Syfte:Att studera hur Göteborg-posten värderade och framställde nyheter från Israel- Palestinakonflikten under Osloprocessen.Metod:En kvalitativ textanalys med kvantitativa inslag.Material:Publicerade artiklar från Göteborgs-posten i samband med Osloprocessen, under perioden 930813 ? 940213.Huvudresultat:Våra resultat visar att majoriteten av texterna i rapporteringen från konflikten mellan Israel och Palestina under den undersökta perioden, utgjordes av politiska artiklar med ett fredsinriktat perspektiv. Det huvudsakliga fokuset i dessa artiklar var hur man ska få till en fred mellan de två parterna genom politiska möten, samtal och förhandlingar. Det huvudsakliga perspektivet i artiklarnaär från konfliktens huvudparter Israel och PLO och representanter för dessa parter i form av politiska ledare och fredsförhandlare. De politiska aktörerna som förekommer framställs i huvudsak som aktivainitiativtagare till fred, dock utför de inga fysiska eller praktiska aktioner utan detta fastställs genom för freden positiva uttalanden.Resultaten av vår studie leder oss fram till slutsatsen att Göteborgs-posten värderade nyheter kring fredsprocessen mellan Israel och Palestina högt i processens inledande skede.

The project contains a force analysis of the vertical axis wind turbine Lucia's supporting arms and a measuring device to experimentally measure the forces is made. The forces between the supporting arms and the tower are calculated theoretically and then simulated by a computere. A measuring devise is then designed to measure the forces experimentally. The forces acting on the attachment between the supporting arms and the tower is primarily the centripetal force, gravitational force and the aerodynamic forces on the rotor wings. The maximum forces were theoretically calculated and is 13.38 kN along the x-axis, -0.25 kN along the y-axis and then 0.5 kN along the z-axis.

One of the more hopeful signs in the Middle East-conflict during the 20th century was president Sadat´s visit to Jerusalem in November 1977. His speech in Knesset arose deep feelings, from open hostility to careful optimism and belief in the future. During nearly one and a half year Egyptian and Israeli delegations negotiated. They came to a peace-agreement, the Camp David-Accords, under the guidance of the United States. The main-actors during the peace- negotiations were President Sadat, Prime Minister Begin and President Carter.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to create an understanding of how customer engagement, communication / interaction and customer insight are driving forces behind the use of Social CRM from a leadership perspective.Method: The purpose of the study, we believed it was appropriate to use a qualitative approach to conduct the study. The empirical data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The sample consisted of 10 companies located in the Gävle area who are active on social media. The interviews were coded to obtain keywords and patterns. These patterns and keywords are then analyzed to arrive at the study's results.Results and contributions: Our results suggest that all the identified benefits, customer engagement, customer insight and communication are driving forces to make use of social CRM.

This study aims to analyse the Swedish Armed Forces website. Through a content analysis with a gender- and organisational culture perspective the study attempts to see how the Swedish Armed Forces portrays women and men. The Swedish Armed Forces is one of the strongest masculine gender coded organisations in our time. Distance caused by gender roles between women and men has been a problem within the organisation, and at the same time they have expectation?s from the society to alter these problems.

The number of female officers employed in the Armed Forces is low. Of the total proportion officers, female stand for 4.8 %. The Armed Forces are currently working actively to level out the distribution. This paper is intended to create a better understanding of the slow increase in female officers in the Swedish Armed Forces. The study is qualitative and the results from the data collection have been based partly on a text analysis, partly on a theme-based group interview in which three themes have been discussed.

This study aspires to find an answer to what makes a negotiation for peace successful. In our pursue to do so we have chosen two cases to compare with each other through a set of different theories. The theories we believed could be relevant were ripeness/readiness, asymmetry, the strategies of mediation, intra-state conflicts and personal actors.The case-study consists of two negotiations that both took place in Camp David. The first one was between Egypt and Israel, 1978, and serves as the example of a successful negotiation. The second case was, again, with Israel but the counterpart was Palestine and took place in year 2000.

Background: Officers in the Swedish Armed Forces educates their soldiers in various skills and arenas. The Officers get their educational training in officer training courses conducted by the Swedish Armed Forces or the Swedish national defence college. The aim of this study was to find out how the cadets, belive that they are formed into educators, their views on the literature being used in the Swedish armed Forsces, and their views on leadership and educational science.Methods: The data for analysis were collected in spring 2010, by use of a questionnaire among cadets studying the tactical/operational program Ta/Op 07/10 at the Swedish national defence college. The respons rate was 69, 6 %.Results: The majority of the cadets thought that experience was the most important factor in becoming a good educator. Most of the cadets also thought that the literature being used by the Swedish armed forces was good, however, few cadets stated that they will use the material for reflection on their own teaching when working as officers.Conclusions: The Cadets had a positive attitude towards the educational philosphy and literature being used, but few will use the literature in reflecting on themselves as teachers.

The transformational leadership and the Swedish Armed Forces? basic outlook on pedagogy are two factors that affect a Swedish military officer. The author has identified a need of understanding the process of personal development. An understanding that couldn?t be supplied by the transformational leadership but that was found in the Swedish Armed Forces? basic outlook on pedagogy.

I arbetet analyseras Tysklands blixtkrig under andra världskriget för att ta fram fyra jämförelsedimensioner som kan sägas är det som karaktäriserar blixtkrig. Dessa jämförelsedimensioner används sedan i fallstudier för att lyfta fram förfarande för blixtkrig. Jag gör två fallstudier i mitt arbete på Israels och USA:s krigföring i Sexdagarskriget 1967 och Irakkriget 2003.I andra världskriget uppnådde tyskarna stora framgångar i början av kriget tack vare att de använde sig av blixtkrig. Efter andra världskriget kan man fundera kring om blixtkrig fortfarande är genomförbart och vilka förutsättningar som krävs för detta. Syftet med mitt arbete är därför att granska de viktigaste förutsättningarna för blixtkrig efter andra världskriget.Metoden jag har använt mig av i mitt arbete är kvalitativ textanalys, med utgångspunkt i tidigare forskning kring blixtkriget.

This essay is a case study about the Swedish Armed Forces during the years 1988-2004; when it transformed from a force constructed to meet an invasion, to an international force with the primary mission to help subdue conflicts around the world. The essay uses texts and documents to examine what happened between these years and to find out what drove that change.By asking the questions A) ?What happened between the years 1988-2004?? and B) ?What is the difference between the Armed Forces in 1988 and in 2004??, it is possible to also ask C)?Why did the Swedish Armed Forces change??.The essay is divided into three main parts; 1) a theory-part focused on three main theories of international relations: liberalism, realism, and constructivism, 2) a historical case study examining the evolvement of the Armed Forces during these years, and 3) a conclusions section that uses thethree theories of international relations to examine why this change happened.In examining the historical period and making conclusions about the differences between these years it was also necessary to construct a scale of military power, on which the historical case study is based..

The veterans in Sweden is a group that is steadily growing, one of the reasons is the new employment agreement that requires the soldiers and officers to commit to Foreign Service. The Swedish Armed Forces have received critique from the government in their investigations concerning the Swedish veteran politics. Since then the Swedish government has introduced a new law that gives the Swedish Armed Forces an utmost responsibility concerning the veteran?s physical and mental health. The purpose of this study is to qualitatively investigate ?The Peace berets?, a non-government organization which have had, and is still having a cooperation with the Swedish Armed Forces as a result of the investigation conducted by the Swedish government.
