The study is aimed at investigating the Slovenian philosopher Slavoj ?i?eks theories ofthe ontology of the subject, the crisis of our modern society and his views on how theology,especially Christian theology, can provide the answer for the threats to our society.My main object is the article Descartes and the post-traumatic subject (2008)where ?i?ek elaborates thoughts about the subject and our capitalistic society. To be ableto grasp these thoughts in full I have undergone an investigation not only on the writingsof Slavoj ?i?ek, but also on the philosophers to whom he owe much of his theories,such as G.W.F. Hegel, Friedriech Schelling, Karl marx and Jaques Lacan.In the study I have shown how the subject is, according to ?i?eks psychoanalytictheories, decentered.

We set out to compare two different categories of workers: the, so called, white- and blue collar workers. The studies aim was to measure if there were any observable differences between the two in means of optimism and sense of coherence. There are two tools created for measuring optimism and sense of coherence, the Life Orientation Test ? Revised (LOT-R) measures an individual?s level of optimism and Aaron Antonovsky devised a test for measuring an individual?s level of sense of coherence (SOC). Optimism is best explained like a way to measure anticipation, how an individual expect future events to fall out.

Analytiker betonar att produktutveckling är viktigt för att lyckas i skogsindustrin. De nordiska sågverken fokuserar idag på att förbättra sin marknadsposition genom produktförnyelse, nya marknadsstrategier och omstrukturering av värdesystem. Ett företag som gjort detta är AB Karl Hedin. Företaget har fått stark genomslagskraft genom egna produkter. AB Karl Hedin avser att till byggsäsongen 2013 lansera en ny egen produkt: En färdig ?modultrall? med längden 3,0 m.

This paper concerning the regional architectural term known as the Tjust Empire style analyses manor houses built in the Tjust area by the east coast of Småland in the period 1810-1860. The term Tjust Empire style was invented in 1937 by PhD. Manne Hofrén in his dissertation on architecture in Kalmar län in the period 1650-1850. The aim of the paper is firstly to determine whether there is a distinct difference between the regional Tjust Empire style in architecture and the common Swedish empire style or as its Swedish equivalent is known; the Karl Johan style. Secondly, the paper strives to analyse why and how the Empire style became so popular in the area during this period, focusing on architecture as a means to express social identity and status.

I Sverige ägs cirka hälften av den totala skogsmarksarealen av enskilda skogsägare. Eftersom dessa privatägda skogar är en så stor andel av det totala skogsinnehavet utgör de en intressant resurs för de som förbrukar skogsråvara. Köpsågverk kännetecknas av att de inte har något eget skogsinnehav som ensamt klarar av att försörja industrin och är därför beroende av att kunna köpa in råvara från andra bolag och enskilda skogsägare. AB Karl Hedin är en sådan köpsågverkskoncern med eget råvarubolag, AB Karl Hedin Råvara, som förser de egna industrierna med råvara. I takt med att konkurrensen om råvara ökar, ökar även sågverkens behov av att trygga sina råvarukällor.

In this essay I evaluate the legality of Karl Popper?s criticism against psychoanalysis, regarding this theory of Freud?s being pseudoscientific. Popper?s criticism is based on his theory of demarcation in which he states that an empirical theory must be possible to test by observations in order to be, as most important is, hypothetically possible to falsify based on other empirical statements ? often in the form of new found facts that contradict the original statement/theory. In purpose of assessing Popper?s criticism I perform a modified idea analysis, based on a book by Evert Vedung (1977).

The Swedish contemporary poet Ulf Karl Olov Nilsson (UKON) creates his poems by recycling and manipulating existing material. Though the overall opinion of his work has been positive, the idea that experimental poetry focus shape on the expense of content has led critics to either interpret the nonsensical and absurd aspects of UKON?s poetics as a consequence of the technical methods he uses to create his poetry, or to look beyond the nonsensical and absurd aspects to focus the fact that the poems creates meaning at all. The poems of UKON?s sixth collection of poems, Block (2005), differ from each other in many ways: some poems are lists and other revolves around a person ? their content and construction vary and they can hardly be read as an expression of one persons thought.

Detta är en rapport om investeringskalkylering inom ett sågverk. För att bäst få insikt i hur investering fungerar ur ett ekonomiskt perspektiv, har ett praktiskt fall hos AB Karl Hedins sågverk Karbenning kalkylerats. Konkurrensen inom sågverksindustrin är idag stor. Därför krävs det ingående kalkyler angående investeringar, för att på bästa sätt kunna möta konkurrensen och hålla god lönsamhet. Målet med rapporten är att analysera lönsamheten för en investering i en brädscanner på Karbenning sågverk, utifrån givna data. Studien undersöker hur utfallet påverkas av vissa faktorer.

Listed corporations achieve effectiveness through segmentation of investors. Categorization of like- minded investors diminishes goal incongruence. This thesis aim to examine an Investor models accuracy, provided by a Professor Emeritus in Economic Psychology in 2001. This model segments investors as active, passive, speculative and naive investors. This thesis has a demarcation to private investors on the Swedish stock market. It has a deductive and qualitative approach as the purpose is to study the Investor model.

The purpose of this master thesis is to describe the professional and literary life of Karl-Gunnar Wall, city librarian of Katrineholm between 1944 and 1975. Questions at issue are the reasons for Walls literary interests, Walls choice of occupation, crucial personal meetings, the context in which Wall acts, Walls fundamental principles as a librarian and as a critic, and the features comprising Walls life history. The method used is a merely qualitative one called "life history". It is founded on in-depth interviews with the persons involved and emanates from the individuals own story about his life. I have carried out three taped interviews; one with Wall himself, and two with his colleagues.

Enligt skollagen och läroplanen skall alla vuxna inom skolan arbeta aktivt för att motverka kränkande behandling. Läraryrket är dessutom ett av de yrken där de flesta är stressade och upplever höga krav. Syftet är därför att undersöka hur lärarna anser sig bemästra de krav som finns angående att aktivt arbeta för att förebygga och stoppa kränkande behandling och om dessa faktorer har någon relation till lärares upplevda stress. Utifrån detta syfte har följande frågeställningar utkristalliserats: (a) Upplever lärarna att deras arbete ofta är förenat med alltför hög arbetsbelastning och stress? (b) Vilka specifika faktorer är mest framträdande när det rör stress bland lärarna? c) Vilka begränsningar och möjligheter anser lärarna och rektorerna att det finns i arbetet med att förebygga och stoppa kränkande behandling? d) Anser lärarna att kraven som ställs på att arbeta mot kränkande behandling är rimliga i relation till de resurser och möjligheter som är kopplade till lärarnas yrkesroll? Uppsatsen har en kvantitativ del och en kvalitativ del.

Is the Swedish author Stig Dagerman an existentialist? This work takes a close look at Dagerman?s novel Island of the Doomed to see if it is possible to consider it an expression of existentialist thinking and to see if it interacts with any specific existentialist tradition. Dagerman?s novel was compared with select works of five existentialist thinkers ? Søren Kierkegaard, Martin Heidegger, Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus and Karl Jaspers, all read in the light of the four categories of existentialistic thinking identified by the Swedish scholar Lennart Koskinen. All the four categories appeared to be central themes within the novel and a few subcategories were identified.

This report covers the product development of a new type of extendable table for the company Karl Andersson och Söner. The company wants to expand their product collection with a new product. Karl Andersson och Söner is a well-known family company that has been located in Huskvarna since 1898, and they are producing furniture for private- and the public environment.The aim with this project is that the product should lead to increased sales, as well as expand their collection to appeal a wider audience. The work is permeated by two issues, to achieve as good results as possible. The issues will bring up how to make a table better, in terms of the competitor?s options, and how to apply a design process to develop a table that meets the markets needs and requirements.The design process of the work consists of strategically picked parts from three separate design processes.

Uppsatsen "En utredning av filosofins möjligheter" inleds med ett konstaterande av den bitande kritik som tidvis framförts mot filosofins olika dogmer och traditioner bland andra av Ludwig Wittgenstein, G. E. Moore och Richard Rorty. Det sägs vidare att all denna kritik hotar att förinta den positiva upptäckarlusten. En föresats görs därför att i funderingar och kritik se möjligheter för filosofin för att på så sätt bidraga till att föra denna framåt i något som förhoppningsvis blir ett konstruktivt inslag i debatten.
