From the mid 19th century to the early 20th century about 1.2 million Swedes left Sweden for a new life in America. Three parishes in Örebro län is at the centre of the research of this essay. The time span of this essay ranges from 1856-1915, divided into three periods; 1856-1870, 1881-1895 and 1901-1915. The main objective has been to compare the three parishes with each other, with Örebro län and with Sweden. What I have wanted to examine has been the following: How many people from each parish emigrated during each period? How many were men, women and children up to the age of 15? In the analysis part of the essay the results were compared parish with parish, and with Örebro län and Sweden.The analysis showed that the emigration of three parishes is commensurate with the Swedish emigration history.

Utfodring som ger en god mineralbalans är avgörande för att fåren inte ska drabbas av brist- eller toxicitetssjukdomar. Optimal mineralutfodring minimerar hälsoproblem hos fåret vilket leder till högre lönsamhet för lantbrukaren. Om mineralutfodringen brister resulterar detta till lägre tillväxt, avkastning samt produktion vilket ger konsekvenser för lantbrukaren. Även sjukdomar kan uppkomma där följderna kan ha dödlig utgång för fåret. För att förebygga sjukdomarna är det viktigt att utfodra med rätt mängd mineraler vid rätt tidpunkt. Detta kan vara mycket svårt då mängden mineraler beror på många faktorer som kön, ålder, ras, stress, antal foster samt var i livsproduktionscykel fåret är.

The aim of this thesis is to study discursive change in the Swedish environmental political discourse between 1987-2005. The text of three Swedish budget propositions are analysed for this purpose.The results from the analysis are related to a few relevant theoretical perspectives that hold partly different views on what constitutes ?sustainable development? and ?ecological modernization?. Through these theories the thesis continues the discussion around the two central but somewhat blurry terms sustainable development and ecological modernization. The aim of this discussion is to conclude whether the discursive change in Swedish environmental politics can be said to go more in the direction of sustainable development or ecological modernization, or if elements of both perspectives can be found.The analysis shows that the Swedish environmental discourse has come to include more and more political fields such as general welfare politics, during the period.

This bachelor thesis is titled Who is an extremist?  - A qualitative content analysis of the agglutination of right- and left-wing groups and is written by Måns Hoffsten within the discipline of political science. This essay aims to illuminate in which way the Swedish government has tackled extreme forms of left-wing and right-wing activism during the period 1980 ? 2013. By looking at how governmental policy-suggestions and reports concerning extremism are formulated during this period this essay explores when and how the two groups first started to become a part of the same problem-representation and on what premises this is built.

Syftet med studien är att utröna vilka värden som präglar den kunskaps- och samhällssyn som ligger till grund för den nya gymnasieskolan och vad dessa går att härleda till, samt diskutera vilka konsekvenser detta kan tänkas få ur ett vidare demokratiskt perspektiv. Studien använder sig av en kvalitativ ideologikritisk metod, och finner sin teoretiska ansats i kritisk teori och Frankfurtskolans tankar kring det senmoderna samhällets möjligheter och begränsningar.Det material som bildar underlag för studien utgörs av propositionen för en ny gymnasieskola (2008/09:199) och den offentliga utredning (SOU 2008:27) som föregick denna.Studien visar att den kunskaps- och samhällssyn som ligger till grund för den nya gymnasieskolan är kraftigt präglad av instrumentella, funktionella och entreprenörsmässiga värden. Dessa värden går att härleda till den kapitalistiska struktur som genomsyrar det senmoderna samhället vari en målrationell syn på såväl utbildning som samhälle främjas. Studiens resultat påvisar en icke-värderande politik och inskränkningar i demokratin som riskerar att leda till att etablerade maktstrukturer och ojämlikheter i samhället reproduceras och befästs ytterligare..

This thesis investigates how crime prevention is represented with the aim of preventing and reducing youth crime in two crime prevention strategies for Croydon in England and Stockholm in Sweden for the period 2022-2026. The aim of this thesis is to contribute to increased knowledge and deeper understanding about how crime prevention is represented by prevailing discourse in policy documents against juvenile delinquency in Europe by conducting a comparative analysis. The study was conducted based on Carol Bacchi?s theory ?What?s the problem represented to be?. Three adapted questions from the WPR approach were translated to critically discourse-analytically examine two policy-oriented strategies against youth crime on local level in Croydon and Stockholm.

Two post milkning teat dips (PMTD´s) were compared in an automatic milking system at Kungsängen Research Farm, owned by SLU (Swedish University of Agriculture) in Uppsala. In the experiment an evaluation system was used where teat condition regarding skin and teat ends was graded according to a scale where 1 was the best score and 5 the worst. The evaluation period was almost six months in total devided into four minor experimental periods. The technician scoring the teats did not know which PMTD that was currently used. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference between the two PMTD´s regarding teat skin condition, but not regarding teat ends.

This paper examines the interpersonal and intercorporate networks of interlocking boardmembers among Sweden's 50 largest publicly traded companies in 1985 and 2005. We find that both the interpersonal and intercorporate networks of 1985 are considerably more coherent and densely connected than those of 2005. The observed changes in social network structure are compared to changes in company ownership in Swedish publicly traded companies during the same period, and it is found that the observed changes in network density and cohesion can be related to a notable increase in the number of foreign board members. These results imply that the social organization of the Swedish system of corporate governance has changed notably during the period. Social network theory suggests that these changes can explain the greater demand for external regulation, decreased homogeneity of board members and increase in board member compensation observed under the period.

AbstractThe purpose of this essay is to analyse and interpret artist Hans Hedberg?s monumental, ceramic reliefs in Sweden and France. Hedberg is internationally famous for his ceramic fruits and eggs in different glaces and formats. A mostly unknown side of his artistic production is that he produced about 50 ceramic reliefs during the 1950s and up to the 1970s in public buildings. Hedberg was one of very few foreign artists in France, who, during a long period of time, produced monumental, public reliefs for the French state.

Throughout its wide distribution in the northern hemisphere, the golden eagle occurs in a diverse range of environments, e.g., mountainous, forest and open areas. The literature on juvenile golden eagles is limited, and this study provides further knowledge on habitat use and ranging behaviour during the post-fledging period in boreal Sweden. A total of 14 golden eagle juveniles were tagged with GPS transmitters during 2010 and 2011, and nine could be followed during the entire post-fledging period from fledging until migration. The juveniles fledged at the end of July and beginning of August and initiated migration during October and beginning of November. The length of the post-fledging period, until migration started, ranged from 49 to 97 days. During this period, the juveniles? distance from their natal nest and their GPS height increased with time as their flying abilities developed.

Studiens syfte är att undersöka huruvida filmrecensioner i dagspress kan användas som en plattform för maktutövande med exemplet utvalda James Bondfilmer mellan 1979-2012. Mitt syfte med uppsatsen är således att diskutera hur massmedier behandlar ett utvalt populärkulturellt fenomen, i detta fall James Bondfilmerna, över en tidsaxel. Genom en genomförd kritisk diskursanalys och analys ur ett symboliskt maktperspektiv utgår studien ifrån de utvalda recensionerna för att undersöka om det förekommer teman, språkmönster eller liknande som ämnar skapa en bild åt publiken hur de bör förhålla sig till James Bond. I studien används teorier om identitets- och varumärkesskapande. I makt- och den kritiska diskursanalysen består den teoretiska grunden främst av John B. Thompson och Norman Fairclough. Valet av teorier till genre- och varumärkesidentitet utgår jag från André Janson, Steve Neal samt Ingalill Holmbergs teori om identitetsskapande kring varumärken. Studien resulterade i ett konstaterande att recensioner kan användas, och ibland används, som en plattform för maktutövande gentemot läsaren..

The aim of this study is two folded. We wish to investigate if there is a value premium from hedging jet fuel exposure for American and European airlines. We also seek to answer if airlines can affect their probability to default by using Risk Management. During the period 2003 ? 2006 there existed a value premium for airlines that hedged their expected future consumption of jet fuel.

The subject of this master thesis is the school library and how we find its potential unutilized. We look at this problem in connection to the democratic assignment that the Swedish school has. The purpose is to elucidate what the democratic assignment consists of and to establish the role that the school library ought to have in this assignment. To describe the democratic assignment we examine and interpret the documents that regulate school and library activities today, including UNESCO/IFLA School Library Manifesto and United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. We use critical ideology analysis because we consider democracy to be a sort of ideology and have a critical view of how the school library is used or rather not used in school.
