This essay has its background in the work I?ve been conducting organizing and cataloging two personal archives concerning the life and work of two vicars, Johan Axel Björkman and P.A. Björkman. The time span of the papers stretches from 1823 to 1982.The main problems I?ve been confronted with during this work have to do with respecting provenance and original order.

This essay examines the grotesque in Samuel Becketts wellknown play Waiting for Godot. The play is primarily seen as an icon of absurdism, and it is such not appropriate to examine the play as if it belongs to the litterary genre of grotesque. The primary purpose of absurdism is to reveal the pointless- and emptiness of existence. In order to illustrate these points absurdism will often make use of the common characteristics of the grotesque. With this in mind I present, within this essay, an eximination of whether Samuel Becket makes use of these characteristics to assist his portayal of emptiness in Waiting for Godot.A prior understanding of absurdism is required and i have as such primarly used Martin Esslins famous studies.The studies of the grotesque are mainly represented by two theorists.

The purpose of this Bachelor thesis is to examine how user-friendly the OPAC of the Märsta public library is considered to be.Theoretical basis are HCI and Allwoods definition of usability. Issues are: Is the OPAC suited to its task? Is the OPAC user-friendly? How well does a user accept the OPAC? and What degree of competence is shown by users of the OPAC? The source material consists of six interviews in the form of .avi files. The method I have chosen is qualitative semi-structured interview form. The result is that, based on Carl Martin Allwood?s defini-tion and with exception for the using of help-resources, the usability of Märsta?s library OPAC can be considered less good..

I den här uppsatsen undersöker jag det rationella i att tro på Jesu uppståndelse. Då uppståndelsen är en central del i den kristna läran kan man tänka sig att det är viktigt för troende kristna att bevisa att det inte är irrationellt att tro på den. En sådan troende kristen är Stephen T Davis och det jag särskilt tittar på här är huruvida denne lyckas bevisa det rationella i att tro på uppståndelsen. I en debatt mellan honom och Michael Martin försöker Davis visa att uppståndelsen är sannolik. Martin kommer i sitt svar med invändningar, där han förklarar att uppståndelsen är osannolik.

I detta examensarbete studeras normbytet från BKR till Eurokod på en tillbyggnad till Växjö sjukhus. Tillbyggnaden kallas Hus X. I studien jämförs lastnedräkning och dimensioneringar mellan normerna, tillämpat på Hus X.Beräkningar och dimensioneringar sker i detta arbete enligt Eurokod. Resultaten jämförs sedan med de resultat som Martin & Co tagit fram enligt BKR.Dimensioneringar som utförs i denna studie är på tre stålpelare och en stålbalk.Materialkostnader kommer att minska något med normbytet. Stomdelarnas dimensioner skiljer sig dock ytterst lite mellan normerna, materialkostnaderna minskar därmed marginellt..

 An analysis in the work of Martin Kellermans comic ?Rocky? of the interaction between the male and female characters and of how each of their gender are portrayed. We are going to find out if it is probable for young adults to be affected by any eventual gender-stereotypes that we can find in ?Rocky? or if ?Rocky? consolidates a stereotypical image of men and women that young adults might have developed through different media. We conduct this analys by first reading through random seleceted ?Rocky? books and present some of the comic strips where men and women interact with each other or discuss the opposite sex..

Per Wahlöö is one of Swedens most internationally renowned authors with the crime novels about Martin Beck as the crown jewel. His career as a journalist is not that famous. The cardinal question in this paper therefore is whether the social criticism that made his authorship so famous emanates from the journalism he produced before or simultaniously with his work as a novelist. To do so I have used a text analytical method on all of Per Wahlöös journalistic writings between the years 1947 and 1965. The sources have consisted of both daily newspapers, most notably Kvällsposten, and weekly magazines like Veckorevyn and Folket i Bild.

Målet med utredningen i denna rapport har varit att kartlägga Martin Olssons transporter som körs av sju åkerier i Stockholmsregionen. Informationen från kartläggningen har sedan analyserats i syfte att ta fram ett förslag för ett transportupplägg för det studerade transportflödet. Information om flödena samlades in under en vecka och kan ses som ett stickprov på transportbehovet eftersom detta kan variera över året. Av den information som fanns tillgänglig att jämföra med var veckan dock förhållandevis representativ i jämförelse med andra perioder.Utredningen i rapporten gav efter analyser att dynamisk ruttplanering skulle ge minskade kostnader med ungefär 20 % under den studerade tidsperioden. Besparingen baserades på transportkostnaden, räknat i åkarens kostnader, för dynamisk ruttplanering jämfört med dagens zonplanering.

Denna undersökning analyserar ett urval stildrag och språkaspekter i tre av Hjalmar Söderbergs fyra romaner: Förvillelser (1895), Martin Bircks ungdom (1901) och Doktor Glas (1905) och relatera resultatet till Peter Cassirers motsvarande analys av stilen och språket i novellsamlingen Historietter (Cassirer 1970).Undersökningen är av stilistisk karaktär och studerar huruvida texter i olika genrer av en och samme författare kan skilja sig, eller visa sig överensstämma, med den övriga produktionen. Metoden är kvalitativ när det gäller de motiviska aspekterna och berättarsynvinkeln och kvantitativ när det gäller de språkliga och allmänt stilistiska aspekterna.Resultatet visar att somliga stilaspekter sammanfaller mellan novellerna i Söderbergs Historietter och hans romaner, speciellt vad gäller de språkliga aspekterna. Andra stildrag är inte gemensamma, men detta beror huvudsakligen på att noveller och romaner har skilda format, såsom längd och uppbyggnad. Detta gäller till exempel aspekterna på miljö och persongalleri. Det beror även på att Söderbergs flanörstil är tydligare i hans romaner än i hans noveller.

The purpose of this study was to investigate how the adult world is produced in the books of Martin Widmark about LasseMajas detektivbyrå from a gender perspective.I wanted to answer questions concerning the appearance, personal characteristics, occupations and activities, and the relationship between children and adults to do my analysis.I decided to make a qualitative content analysis to answer my questions.I used the gender theories that describe how stereotypes excel. I related these gender theories to the books that I have studied.I also used previous research on gender roles in other children's books to compare their results with mine.After reading, analyzing and comparing the books I have come to the conclusion that gender roles in books about LasseMajas detektivbyrå is very gender stereotyped..

This essay concerns the fantastic and its position in narration. The fantastic's defintion is based on Martin Horstkotte's defintion in The Postmodern Fantastic and the essay focuses on the noncontextual aspects such as the clash between two incompatible fictional worlds and the absence created. Instead of the ordinary identification of the established fictional world with realism and our reality it is suggested that both of the colliding fictional worlds are fictive and that the established one not necessarily need to be realistic. Exampels on how the fantastic takes place on the syntagmatic level in a narration is drawn from the short story ?Samvetets fantasi? by Clas Livijn when analysed with Peter Brooks' closurebased narratology theory in Reading for the Plot.
