This candidate thesis concerns the ?all but forgotten? material from the bronze age site named ?Raä 977, Hansbo 1:3, Vojmsjön, Vilhelmina?. During 1975-76, an archaeological dig was carried out by Västerbottens museum led by Ulla Walukiewich in an attempt to preserve the information the site held, before it was destroyed by the erosion brought on by the recently regulated sea ?Vojm? (Vojmsjön). The archaeological dig yielded a stunning amount of finds, samples and information previously unknown.

Rapporten utformades med hjälp av intervjuer, undersökningar och ett experiment om morgonuppvärmning. Experimentet var en period med morgonuppvärmning för ett antal yrkesarbetare. Experimentet evaluerades, analyserades och de berörda fick även ge feedback. Detta tillsammans med intervjuer av särskilt utvalda personer och andra mindre undersökningar om effekterna av uppvärmning, utgjorde basen på de argument som tas upp. Både argument för och emot tas upp i en diskussion och analys för att konstatera slutresultatet av både experimentet och argumenten.De flesta yrkesarbetarna i experimentet tyckte om morgonuppvärmningen och tyckte att det var skönt för kroppen.

This investigation aimed to shed light on the terms of the dispensing and the retaining of municipal social benefits granted by Swedish social services, this in regard of a less visible societal subgroup; citizens who cannot attain or retain housing of their own.Through qualitative interviews with six municipal social workers in Skåne, the plight of these citizens is revealed from a policy-making perspective in respect of views on discretion and individual appreciation. How may the applicant impact the application process and how does social subletting operate as a service effort?Further analysis of the accounts of informants? views on change and the reasons for change, sketched an image of a society where public acceptance and tolerance are crucial factors for citizens hoping to achieve a homestead through means of municipal intervention.In conclusion, flexible attitudes towards job description are of major import to the possibility of offering client support in under-staffed municipal environs. Furthermore, reflexive social workers allying with the applicant throughout the process, from application to intervention are decisive for efficacious, long-term social work..

Skolan har genom åren använt arbetsformen gruppbaserat arbete (grupparbete). Denna arbetsform har varit populär i olika omfattning, men har hela tiden funnits med i undervisningen. Läroplanen beskriver i sina strävandemål att eleverna ska fostras i grundläggande demokratiska värderingar, visa varandra respekt och lära sig av varandra. I detta sammanhang kommer således grupparbetet väl till pass. Syftet med denna undersökning är således att studera elever och lärares syn på gruppbaserat arbete.

Inför mitt examensarbete tog jag kontakt med Världskulturmuseerna. Det visade sig att Medelhavsmuseet höll på att förbereda för en ny utställning om det forntida Egyp­ten. Jag träffade intendent Sofia Häggman och utställningsproducent Elna Nord och vi kom fram till att ett spännande projekt för ett examensarbete skulle vara att under­söka hur bilder skulle kunna användas i utställningen för att berätta om förhistorien i området kring Nilen. En stor utmaning i detta låg i att all information om den här perioden är så pass osäker. Genom litteraturstudier, kontextanalys och analys av informat­ionsmaterial tog jag fram en idé på hur detta skulle kunna gestaltas med en kombination av bild och ord.

This study explores the effects of two different post-treatment methods on stain reduction in glazed creamware from the late 20th century. The objects stains have been characterized by type one and type two stains which is the result of prolonged contact with food residues, were subjected to the same initial stain reduction. The two post-treatment methods examined are soaking the objects in deionized water and surface rinsing with deionized water. The comparative analysis included photographs under normal and UV-light exposure to assess stain visibility, weight measurements before and after treatments to monitor the absorption and evaporation of liquids, and observations throughout the experiment. The results revealed that while type two stains showed significant alterations after treatments, specifically after soaking, type one stains remained unaffected by both methods.

Since 2005 all companies listed on a regulated stock exchange within the European Union are required to present their financial reports in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and International Accounting Standards (IAS). The purposes of these standards are to accomplish international harmonization of accounting rules to make financial reports more comparable. However, recent research has shown that some firms tend to use goodwill strategically in a business combination by manipulating the acquired assets and consciously allocate the intangible assets to goodwill to reduce the depreciation in the income and decrease costs. This phenomenon may reduce the comparability between financial reports and thus has an opposite effect on the purpose of IFRS and IAS.The aim of this study is to show how the companies involved in this study allocate goodwill strategically. Furthermore, the introduction of the new standards has contributed to that goodwill now is a subject for impairment test, therefore we want to show whether this affected the comparability of the companies in this study.An empirical study was conducted, based on interviews with four Swedish managers.

The fashion market is highly dynamic, and characterized complexity, abstract phenomena and creativity. Further, differences between factors such as gender, countries and social classes pose increasing challenges to fashion companies and researchers active within this area. In light of these facts, the value of creating tools that help companies and professionals active within this industry becomes evident. Much research has been focused on creating a more thorough understanding of its underlying logics and its main drivers from a business perspective, whereas knowledge regarding fashion consumers and what drives their behavior are more limited. Through this study, insights about the Swedish fashion market and its consumers are generated.

The purpose of this paper is to find out the staff's feelings and emotions in a HVBaccommodation where they work with unaccompanied refugee children. A HVBaccommodation is an institution that refugee asylum seekers come to in the beginning of their refugee process. To shed some light on this issue, a hermeneutic perspective has been used in the methodological approach of the work. The material gathered through interviews is collected from six supervisors at the selected accommodation in southern Sweden.The material based on the interviews is grounded in the supervisors' experiences, emotionsand feelings. Our result has been used as a foundation for the analysis of feelings andemotions based on three theoretical approaches: The total Department of Goffman (1973),socialization and the significant other Mead (1934), and the relationships and emotions atwork Hochschild (1983).

This thesis examines the sheep shed called Ronningsgift, and its historical functions and geographical location. The study aims to make a comprehensive gathering of the existing knowledge and to shed light on new theories about the history of Ronningsgift. This is done through desk research including literature and archive search, as well as an investigation and description of the construction and materials, and an interview. Further, I got the opportunity to take part of the results of two C14 samples from Ronningsgift. The literature and archive search shows that the most common theory of the historical function is as a guest house (g?ststuga/h?gstuga) or more traditionally called, Malst?ue/Malsteuvu.

Until recently, the art market has expanded for several consecutive years. The primary art market is characterized by an unclear pricing mechanism and an infinite as well as limited supply. Previous business studies have so far primarily focused either on art as an investment or on the gallery?s activities. This thesis takes an explorative approach and aims to shed a light on the art collector?s behavior on the Swedish market for contemporary art.

"Alla är vi olika" är en queerteoretisk, kritisk diskursanalys av hemsidan kondom.nu.Syftet med denna uppsats är att belysa hur information om sex, sexualitet och kön som riktas till ungdomar kan utformas. Vi har en föreställning om att ungdomar är den främsta gruppen i dagens samhälle som översköljs med information om sex och relationer, könssjukdomar och graviditeter. Det är därför viktigt att det ges en öppen och bekväm bild av vad sex, sexualitet och kön är och kan innebära.I och med att Internet idag är ett så pass stort kommunikations- och informationsforum där alla kan vara anonyma och ta del av det som förmedlas har vi valt att undersöka den information som går ut till ungdomar via nätet. Eftersom Internet också är en plats där alla kan producera information finns färre restriktioner för vad som får skrivas och inte får skrivas. Vi studerar i denna uppsats webbsidan kondom.nu genom en kritisk diskursanalys där vi främst tittar på hur sex, sexualitet och kön görs på hemsidan.

Reading spaceFurniture for reading for the new city library of GöteborgThe main purpose of my project has been to inspire people to read books at the library. I wanted to create something very site specific and chose a room on the second floor of the new city library to work with. To be able to relax, feel inspired and to concentrate on reading, the visitors of the library need to experience a sense of security. My solution to the different conditions or problems in the room and the needs I identified is a seat hanging inside a frame. When sitting down in the seat, the frame is low enough to see over but it is still experienced as a private spatiality.
