Within the fields of business as well as the academic, there is a growing interest for the role images play in an organized conception of the world. This paper acknowledges the relevance of such images and ideas, and its purpose is to examine the fixed ideas and conceptions of the world as they appear in a Swedish organizational context. The Swedish Trade Council is a hybrid organization between the state and private sector with an outspoken purpose of defining an image of the outside world for small and medium size enterprises in Sweden. The underlying question in focus for this study is: What central conceptions of the world appear in the Swedish Trade Council?s information films ?Världens möjligheter?? Within organizational studies, a postcolonial theory has to a large extent been overlooked.

This essay will examine the historical picture of the island Rapa Nui as it is portrayed in popular science and in ecohistorical literature of the university of Gothenburg. This historical picture states that the inhabitants of the island cut down a lot of trees in the process of transporting the big and heavy statues, moai, from the quarry to the platforms along the coastline of the island. During this process all trees disappeared and resulted in soil erosion. The cultivation was destroyed and brought hunger to Rapa Nui. The following rivalry for food led to a situation of war followed by a cultural collapse.

I arbetet har jag utgått från mina erfarenheter av medieundervisning på min verksamhetsförlagda utbildning (VFU) där jag upptäckte ett ?glapp? mellan teori och praktik i elevernas arbeten. Utifrån detta upplevda ?glapp? formulerade jag följande frågeställningar: Finns det spår av läroplanens intention i elevers tal om undervisningen, särskilt medieundervisningen? Finns läroplanens intention i bilderna eleverna producerar? Bidrar medieämnets kultur, tradition och historia, till den starka uppdelningen mellan teori och praktik i undervisningen? Detta i syfte att undersöka om ?Läroplanen för de frivilliga skolformernas? (LPF94) intention om att eleven skall ha förmågan att förhålla sig kritiskt, granska fakta och bedöma det eleven ser, hör och läser, följer med när eleven talar om och framställer egna mediebilder i undervisningen. I denna studie har jag studerat läroplanens och dess intentioner, olika teoretikers syn på undervisning och kunskap samt intervjuat tre tjejer från medieprogrammet kring deras tankar om undervisningen.

Coping theory asks what the cognitive and behavioral patterns of individuals dealing with stress are. This essay includes, besides the perspective of the psychology of religion, theories of culture and ritual in exploring two Swedes coping with the natural disaster in Thailand year 2004. The vacation paradise was struck by an enormous flood wave, called a tsunami, causing vast destruction and the death of over 200.000 people. Among these 543 were Swedes on vacation. When a disaster of such measures happens, what kind of stress does it cause? How do you cope? Are religion and ritual important? What is the function of the culture in the copingprocess? Using hermeneutical analysis this essay interprets the material from two books by Swedes, who not only experienced the disaster, but lost two children and husband and wife in the flood wave.

This paper explores the emic use of ?Internet trolls" and trolling behaviour in one specific Internet community. The findings are compared with, and put in relations to the conventional definition of Internet-trolls as individuals who deliberately, typically anonymously, antagonize other users of online common spaces.A forum dealing with matters of relationship issues in the Swedish online community Message Board of Familjeliv.se, was the subject of field-work that provided the basic empirical material for the research; three comparable threads on the subject of infidelity. These could all be said to contain suspected trolling, and such suspicions were also ascribed participants throughout the discussions. The analysis was undertaken mainly in terms of quality of narrative, performance and interaction.A comparative method and a genre analysis out of a holistic and functionalistic perspective is used to shed some light on how forum participants organize themselves and steer narratives towards desired outcomes.

The landscape with its associated historical tracks and remains are an important part of our cultural heritage that we consider important to conserve. The stone walls are an example of historical remains that helps to build up this cultural heritage. It is a landscape element that today usually is being associated with the old cultivated landscape, where they mainly functioned as boundary markings and fences. Today, the stone wall is a valuable element in the landscape with ecological, culture-historical and aesthetic values. Since the stone walls arose as elements in the landscape a lot has been changed within the agriculture.

Actor, director and playwright Tim Crouch wrote the original script My Arm in English in 2003.With basis in intermedial theory, as defined by Jörgen Bruhn, as well as Hans-Thies Lehmann?s theory on post-dramatic theatre this study investigates the meaning-building processes in Min Arm as a theatrical performance. Concepts of the difference between stage play and performance text are borrowed from and inspired mainly by Eli Rozik?s Generating Theatre Meaning.

Syftet med denna studie är att analysera fyra tågföretags hemsidor (SJ, JR East, JR Central och JR West) från Sverige och Japan i relation till två teorier om kulturella skillnader för att se vilka eventuella skillnader i utformandet av hemsidorna som kan komma att finnas. Baserat på Würtz och Marcus och Goulds parametrar går det att se att hemsidorna skiljer sig åt vad gäller användandet av animationer; många på JR-företagens sidor, ej förekommande på SJ:s. Det fanns också skillnader i värderingar; SJ betonar frihet, framtid, ungdom och direkta resultat medan JR-företagen framhäver historia, tradition, officiella logotyper, professionalism och långsiktighet. På JR Wests sida visas könsroller tydligt, medan dessa är utsuddade på SJ:s sida. Informationen på SJ:s sida ä relativt lättillgänglig, men på JR-företagens sidor krävs fler klick för att komma dit man vill.

Almost every company sooner or later ends up in a more or less difficult economical situation. The reason for the economical crisis varies for each individual case but common for them all is that it is the management group that has failed in their work to guide the organisation to avoid a negative result. The next common denominator is that it is the management group that has to handle the changes in the company's environment and lead the company out of the crisis. But how can they do this and take decisions in a rational and effective way and is there warnings signals that the management group missed before the crisis was a fact? This is some of the questions that this study is going to discuss and analyze. The aim of the study is from a management perspective chart the strategic work of the company's management work when handling an economical crisis.

BACKGROUND Until 1988, it was forbidden to neuter male dogs in Sweden without a veterinary medical cause, so there is clearly no long tradition of this procedure in healthy dogs. According to the website of The Swedish Kennel Club (SKK), February 11, 2011, there has been an increase of castrated male dogs in Sweden. They see this increase as worrying, especially in cases of the less common breeds, where it is most important to maintain the gene pool. The SKK expresses concern that castration is used as a tool to influence the personality of dogs, instead of training and education of the dog. They write that castration should be preceded by a discussion initiated by the veterinarian, where the pros and cons of castration are weighed against each other.

Sjuksköterskeyrket är av tradition ett kvinnodominerat yrke och än idag utgörs ca 90 % av sjuksköterskekåren av kvinnor. En av de mest utsatta grupperna för långtidssjukskrivning relaterad till psykisk ohälsa är personal inom vård- och omsorg, däribland sjuksköterskor. De senaste 15 åren har en ökning av den här typen av långtidssjukskrivning skett och det är tydligt att kvinnor har drabbats i högre grad än män. Det går också att se att mycket i rollen som sjuksköterska påminner om den traditionella kvinnorollen, där en egenskap som premieras är att vara mer uppmärksam på andras behov än på sina egna. Syftet med det här arbetet har varit att undersöka vilka strategier det finns för att stödja sjuksköterskor att utveckla en yrkesroll som bevarar deras psykiska hälsa samt att ta reda på hur dessa strategier bidrar till detta.
