Vad är en kvalitetsdeckare? : En analys av deckarens ställning på folkbiblioteket
This Bachelor?s thesis is about crime-fiction in Swedish public libraries and aims at investigating the attitude of librarians employed within the public library sector with regards to crime-fiction writing. Therefore, our aim is to examine how public sector librarians assess the quality of crime fiction writing compared to other forms of fiction. And research has shown that librarians haven't always looked upon crime-fiction favorably. The established view of crime-fiction was widely seen by the majority of public sector librarians as a lower form of literature and regarded it as a form of mass culture.
Projektioner - subjektivitet och ansvar i gestaltandet :
With this paper my aim has been to investigate my subjectivity and responsibility as a
landscape architect and to find ways to relate to it and handle it in my work.
When I advocate a certain concept for a project, I influence the outcome, and in doing
so I take on a personal responsibility. Even though my judgement is built upon facts and
cooperation with colleagues and other consultants, I am always responsible for the part I
play and how I affect the course of action. To what extent can I advocate my view and
is it actually my responsibility to do it? How is my subjectivity part of my knowledge
and influence as a landscape architect?
I have interviewed three well known Swedish landscape architects to have their view on
the matter. Since they are all strong individuals with huge experience and influence, the
personal responsibility they bring upon themselves for their design action is as
important.
I have also used one of my own projects as a case study, analysing my design and
standpoint and my relationship to the client to illustrate how these questions emerge
even in the smallest projects.
In the last section of the investigation I have searched for clues in diverse literature.
This section is divided into three view points; the society, the profession and the
individual..

OS i Kina, oberoende idrott eller politisk propaganda? : A Study of the Chinese Regime?s Political involvement, in the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games
The aim of this paper is to describe which view the Chinese government in connection with the Olympics wants to display for the natural world and analyze if this view coincide with China?s foreign-policy goals. A qualitative content analysis is used. By using the theory of rational choice and a model with three different political approaches I want to examine whether or not the foreign-policy goals of the Chinese regime comport with the view that displays in two major newspapers in China. Since the runoff voting in Moscow in 2001 for the 2008 Olympics the Chinese government has been able to act rational and to compose different strategies to use the Games in Beijing for political propaganda.
Vetenskaplig publicering i gungning
Scholarly publishing has since the introduction of electronically distributed periodicals seen a time of change, mainly in the STM-business (Science Technology and Medicine). The roles of the three main participants in the publication process; researcher, publisher and library are developing into new directions. Researchers themselves are taking a more active part in the discussion, with the boycott list from the Public Library of Science organization as an illustrating example. Reforms are being launched partly as an economical and efficiency issue, partly as an increasing desire from researchers to maintain the control of scientific end result. This Master s thesis examines how the partly conflicting goals of the participants affect the conditions for scholarly publication in an electronic environment.

Om solidaritet och ansvarstagande i världen : en diskursanalytisk studie kring internationaliseringen av svensk försvars- och säkerhetspolitik
The world is increasingly coalescing, ecologically, economically and culturally. Many problems can no longer be solved within the own state borders and the limitation of the territorial state is obvious. Jürgen Habermas means that a world domestic politic without a world government is what this progress need. Therefore it is important that national interests become less central and the solidarity between people is given priority in international relations. The focus of this thesis is therefore a critical discourse analysis of the current position of the internationalisation of Swedish security and defence policy.
