The purpose of this thesis is to examine the relationship between librarians and library support staff in public libraries regarding status, distribution of work and working climate. We were interested to know if there is a conflict between the two occupational groups and how it can be explained. We also wanted to learn what the future holds for the library in terms of professional categories and tasks according to library staff of today. This study is based on twelve qualitative interviews with four heads of libraries, four librarians and four library assistants. Three theoretical approaches were used in the analysis of the interview material: professionalization strategies, conflict theories and theories from group psychology.

Studiens syfte var att undersöka självkänsla och skillnader i självkänsla mellan män och kvinnor. Studien belyser även hur låg respektive hög självkänsla påverkar individers livskvalitet. Då metoden är både kvantitativ och kvalitativ kan intressanta jämförelser göras mellan resultaten från enkätundersökningen och intervjuundersökningen då de avsåg att studera samma ämnen.Tidigare forskning har indikerat att män har högre självkänsla än kvinnor (McMullin, Cairney, 2004). Den aktuella studiens resultat visade dock ingen signifikant skillnad mellan män och kvinnors självkänsla i enkätundersökningen. Intervjuundersökningen visade att män uppfattar en skillnad mellan könen till männens fördel, detta gjorde dock inte kvinnorna.Enligt Rosenberg (1962) påverkas individers livskvalitet negativt av låg självkänsla.

Internets framfart har skapat ändrade förhållande på marknaden för kommunikation och marknadsföring. Företag marknadsför sig alltmer på Internet och e-handeln har samtidigt ökat kraftigt. Debatten kring nya sätt att marknadsföra sig på Internet och hur konsumenterna reagerar på information är i full gång. I en undersökning gjord av Posten visar det sig att 7 av 10 svenskar gör sina distanshandelsköp på Internet och att de har en sofistikerad informationssökningsprocess. Påståendet görs att konsumenter litar mer på vänner, bekanta och andra konsumenter på ?nätet? .

The aim of this study was to reach a better understanding of voluntary work and its possible influence on the work role. Based on a phenomenological approach, five voluntary workers from the leisure field were interviewed. The interpretation of the empirical data was based on the Humanistic psychology and its theories about personality, self-realization, motivation and emotion. The results show that the motive behind the voluntary engagement varied amongst the participants and all of them stated more than one motive. However, social motives, wanting to learn more and develop their skills and also wanting to help others, were the most frequent motives among the participants. In the light of the theoretical background for this study, these motives can be understood as being due to the need of self-realization and appreciation from others, and also a wish to reach an ideal self.

När en individ känner tillhörighet till en grupp ökar det individens psykiska välbefinnande, bland annat individens självkänsla.

Därför undersöktes sambandet mellan tillhörighet till det svenska samhället och självkänsla. Deltagarna var 134 vuxenstuderande, varav 57 svenskar och 77 immigranter. Det fanns ett positivt samband mellan tillhörighet och självkänsla, dock var det ingen skillnad mellan svenskar och immigranter.

Racial discrimination can occur in many ways ? intentional and non intentional ? and in many places ? perhaps most observed in the labor market. The Swedish labor union, LO, is an important party in this market, and discusses the issue frequently in a number of different documents. These documents are being analyzed as discourse in this study, with attention paid to the rhetoric regarding ?immigrants?, i.e.

A model of entrepreneurial motivation by Naffziger, Hornsby and Kuratko 1994 is presented.

This essay investigates the relation between ?usage? and ?hearing? of dialectal words and expressions in the Ryukyu islands, Japan, in this case words and expressions from a mix of Ryukyuan and standard Japanese, so called uchinaa-yamatoguchi. A survey was conducted and in the questionnaires the respondents were asked to fill in the degree of usage and hearing of each word and expression, consisting of three alternatives each; use often, use seldom and never used - hear often, hear seldom and never heard.My findings show a stable pattern in the relation between usage and hearing, where the usage is relatively low compared to hearing in almost every case. Among the most frequently used ones, one could find words and expressions connected to food, festivals, type of person, adjectives, adverb and animals etc..

AbstractThe ability to read and write is a very important skill in today?s information based society. Most of us learn how to read and write, but not everyone is blessed to do this without struggle. Dyslexia is a very common learning disability and therefore I found it interesting to study how teachers teach students with dyslexia.By studying the literature and by interviewing teachers, I found that dyslexia is a very complex disability. The teachers have to adapt their way of teaching in a way that a student with dyslexia can participate.
