Uppsatsens utgångspunkt är att perspektivet utgör en psykosocial länk mellan individ och omvärld. Med grund i Henry Montgomerys perspektivmodell, som bland annat framhåller hur fakta och värderingar är intimt förbundna i social perception, förs ett resonemang kring perspektivets socialpsykologiska förankring i mellanmänskliga sammanhang. Modellens element subjekt, objekt och mental position diskuteras systematiskt utifrån George Herbert Meads perspektivteoretiska ansats samt Alan Page Fiskes socialitetsteori. Syftet är främst att visa på perspektivets deskriptiva och evaluativa konstitution, dess sociala grund och kontextberoende. Tanken är att Meads resonemang fungerar som en formell teoretisk grund för subjektet och dennes kommunikativt grundade intersubjektivitet, genom perspektivtagandet via symbolbruk och den generaliserade andra, emedan Fiskes ansats tar fasta på en bestämd social differentiering genom socialitetsformer vilket i sig utgör fundamentet för värderingars sociala förankring samt människors socialitet i en mer substantiell mening.

Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka hur chefens identitet diskursivt konstrueras i tidningen Chef under perioden 2011-2013 genom att urskilja de diskurser och subjektspositioner som finns i tidningen. Utifrån diskursteori analyseras hur tidningen genom språket konstruerar chefensidentiteten och vilka retoriska tekniker som används för att nå fram till läsaren. Jag kunde urskilja två diskurser som i sin tur erbjöd fyra subjektspositioner. De övergripande diskurserna var den humanistiska diskursen och den affärsmässiga diskursen och de fyra subjektspositionerna benämns medmänniskan, inspiratören, den starke och den affärsmässige. Med detta som utgångspunkt diskuteras hur chefens identitet konstrueras i tidningen Chef samt hur de båda diskurserna påverkar chefen och dess position gentemot organisationen och medarbetarna..

Jag har valt att göra en undersökning om mans- och kvinnoroller i amerikanska actionfilmer från femtiotalet fram till tvåtusentalet. Främst har jag fokuserat mig på kvinnans position i dessa filmer och gjort en återkommande jämnförelse med den amerikanska hemmafrun som ett begrepp på femtiotalet. Jag har gjort en innehållsanalys på tretton stycken filmer mellan perioden 1952-2005. Dessa filmer har jag valt ut då det finns ett tydligt samspel mellan män och kvinnor i dem och att framför allt att kvinnan har en aktiv del och är betydande för historien.Jag har i dessa analyser kommit till slutsatsen att kvinnliga karaktärer i actionfilmer fått större utrymme att spela på allt eftersom tiden går och att bilden för vad som är manligt och kvinnligt ändrats genom perioden. Men att den kvinnliga actionhjälten alltid kan spåras tillbaka till den amerikanska hemmafrun på femtiotalet..

This study examines four short stories- ?Gudarnes like?, ?Vänner?, ?Lolo? and ?Kvinnor? - in a novel called Upptäckter written by Ulla Bjerne in 1918. My aim has been to study whether Bjerne in these stories writes from a New Woman- position. The New Woman novel as a genre flourished around the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. I have also studied whether Bjerne in these short stories uses a melodramatic style.

Abstract One of the essential conditions of the co-operating within the EU is that homogeneous conditions of competition prevail within the entire common market. The competition policy in the EU should guarantee that the competition is not distorted in a way that would prevent or create difficulties for the free mobility of goods and services between the member countries. The policy of competition should also guarantee that no new protectionistic obstacles will be formed, regardless of if it is being done by actions taken by member countries or as a result of actions taken by companies in order to set limits to the competition. Companies putting to an abuse their dominant position on the common market, or on a substantial part of it, is irreconcilable with the idea of the common market in case it could interfere with the trading between member countries, and is thus prohibited. The purpose of this dissertation is to describe the collective dominance from the view of the commission's interpretation of the practice of article 82 in the EG - treaty.

The aim of this study is to learn about the nineteenth century poor relief system, how itoperated in the rural parish Kristdala during the period 1881-1890, and not least, who was thesupported person? The poor are defined as the individuals that received public poor relief, but in onechapter this definition of poverty is contrasted with a definition based upon tax exemption:inability to pay taxes.

I chose to do this work because I believe that today?s industrial designprofessionals lack in their task of creating aesthetic experiences and aestheticdiversity.With my work, I want to question why the majority of today?s technical, massproducedeveryday products have such a similar design expression, andwhy alternatives are so few. Most of all, I take a critical attitude to today?sstereotypical industrial design aesthetics that I would describe as technical,masculine, and unnecessarily complex.I have designed a number of products that show alternative aesthetics in thissegment and as such I have chosen the vacuum cleaner. The idea is that mydesign will serve as an eye opener and demonstrate that there are alternativesto today?s homogeneous market.The result is three vacuum cleaners claiming three alternatives to currentofferings.

This essay is a comparison according to the ideological thoughts about womens position in the society of Mao Zedong och Josef Stalin. The material I have analysed is writings by Mao and Stalin, in a wide range from leaflets to orders to the armies of the states of China and the Soviet Union.

Inför årets riksdagsval så förekommer det en debatt där Sveriges två största politiska partier anklagas för att ha övergivit sina ideologiska värdegrund. Den rådande perceptionen är att detta har ledat till att de två partierna, Socialdemokraterna och Moderaterna, befinner sig närmare varandra än tidigare. Undersökningens syfte är att klargöra huruvida denna perceptions stämmer eller ej. Detta görs genom en idéanalys av de två partiernas idépolitik där partiprogram utgör material. Materialet ska klassificeras utefter olika idealtyper för att på så sätt kunna placera in partiernas idépolitiska position.
