Archbishop KG Hammar has attracted attention for his liberal position in theology. His view on the role of language and communication is central in several books and articles he has published as leader of the Church of Sweden. One of his main theses is the fact that meaning is created in the encounter between text and reader. He often reiterates: God is relation. This non-traditional dynamic stance has a broad impact not only on theology.

The aim of this Masters thesis is to examine the library discourses concerning the phenomenon and concept of digital libraries in Swedish library press 1980-2002. What changes can be identified? The questions are: what is said about the conditions for the phenomenon; how is the concept of digital libraries used; who makes these statements; what are the relations between these discussions and the library context in which they are made? Five Swedish library journals, BBL/Biblioteksbladet, DIK-forum, Human IT, Svensk biblioteksforskning and Tidskrift för dokumentation, were examined. The method used was discourse analysis. The theoretical starting-point was Foucaults discourse theory.

Syftet med studien är att studera hiphopkulturen i en mellanstor svensk stad, närmare bestämt åtta svenska hiphoppares syn på hiphopkulturen, dess kommersialisering, dess positiva syn på droger och våld samt den negativa kvinnosynen i hiphopkulturen. Studien är kvalitativt inriktad och baseras på intervjuer och litteratur. Ungdomskulturperspektiv är central för studien. Undersökningen visar att de intervjuade, varken har en negativ kvinnosyn eller är positiva till våld mot poliser, något man kan få intryck av när man studerar hiphopmusikens texter. Undersökningen visar att de intervjuade har en liberal narkotikasyn och en negativ bild av kommersialisering..

Bakgrund En elitidrottare uts?tts f?r mycket press och stress i idrottssammanhang samtidigt som att de beh?ver f? vardagen att flyta. Dock finns det begr?nsat med forskning kring hur vardagslivet upplevs av en elitidrottare. Den arbetsterapeutiska teorimodellen ValMO belyser att om en aktivitet i vardagen s?tter h?g press och tar upp mycket tid kan det bidra till en obalans mellan andra delar i vardagen.

Denna D-uppsats kommer att handla om Skuggan i ett förändringsarbete. I min C-uppsats 2005, var grundhypotesen att stora förändringar där individer och grupper av människor som upplever krav, press och tryck, lätt kan utveckla defensiva rutiner, och på så sätt hindra arbetsgrupper från att bli effektiva och innovativa. I den uppsatsen intervjuades två chefer om deras upplevelser av ett stort förändringsarbete inom en sjukvårdsförvaltning. Informanterna upplevde att det förekom revirtänkande mellan grupperna, och detta skapade problem mellan olika yrkesgrupper och enheter. Besvikelse, oklara beslut, revirtänkande, och frånvaro av gemensamma rutiner för samarbete, präglade starkt sammanslagningen och skapade barriärer och hinder för den nya verksamheten.Intresset att undersöka personalens upplevelse av sammanslagningen och dess effekter har varit ett naturligt val för denna uppsats på D-nivå.

This study focuses on nationalism in Central and Eastern Europe. Anchored in theories that this region historically has been characterized by a nationalism that is based on the ethnic group rather than on liberal or civic concepts, it is the purpose of this study to explore whether these theories still apply in recent times when the region has been liberalized, for example manifested in the entry to the European Union. The research question has been tested through analysis of the constitutions of a number of Central and Eastern European countries in order to investigate what type of nationalism that the states have codified in their basic political documents. The results show that some of the states give expression to the historical ethnic nationalism in their constitutions, which indicates that the theories still are relevant..

The Swedish foreign minister Anna Lindh was murdered on September 10 2003. The police pursuit for the man that murdered her was initiated immediately. Two weeks later, the police arrested the 24-year-old man that six month later would be sentenced to imprisonment for life for the murder of Anna Lindh. The main purpose of this essay is to examine how the man that murdered Anna Lindh was described in Aftonbladet and Expressen from the time of his arrest to the sentence of guilty. One part of the purpose of this essay is also to inquire how the Swedish evening press paid regard to the ethical publicity rules in their descriptions.

Sustainable development has become the ideology of the twentieth first century. As an important concept and as a framework of political action, sustainable development can at this point be considered as the very symbol of a paradigm in the international debate over environmental issues and the threats of climate change. But what does the concept of sustainability actually suggest? This thesis uses discourse analysis in order to examine the Swedish learning for sustainable development as to three different discourses on the national arena: the government and the municipals of Piteå and Växjö respectively. When the study foremost concerns official policy documents that contain associations with the study area, the methodology used takes into consideration both language, signs, metaphors and so called story lines.

I den här studien undersöker vi hur sportjournalister hanterar lagsympatier i sin yrkesroll och hur den oskrivna regeln ?no cheering in the press box? följs i praktiken.

Dessa lag sträcker sig från division 4 i Sverige till topplag i olika delar av världen.

The purpose of this Master?s thesis is to examine how The Trilogy of Pippi Longstocking, written by the author Astrid Lindgren, has been received by the critics in the Swedish daily press. A second aim is to examine how the critics could be of importance for the consecration of Pippi as a literary character. The study is mainly based on reviews from the daily press with nationwide coverage. The theoretical framework consists of the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu?s theories of the literary field, and the method of the reviews is a qualitative text analysis.
