The aim of this master's thesis is to describe the role of language and culture as ethnical identification factors and illustrate how these have been used as political weapons by the Serb regime in Kosovo during the last decade. The thesis discusses the concept of ethnicity, the relations between the politics of identity, nationalism, ethnic mobilization and the importance of language and culture. Kosovo has historically been characterized by severe ethnic antagonism between Serbs and Albanians. Different languages, cultures and religions beside political processes led to ethnic cleavages that paved the way for ethnocentrism, ethnonationalism, chauvinism, ethnic cleansing and civil war. Since 1989, the Serbian authorities have intervened in all important spheres of life, in an attempt to Serbianize Kosovo.

Idag reser människor till allt fler länder för att utföra operationer. Tack vare Internet kan man idag hitta billiga flygresor och information om vad som är bra och mindre bra. Medicinsk turism handlar bland annat om situationer när en patient reser från en plats till en annan plats, ofta belägna i olika länder, för att utföra en medicinsk behandling. Denna behandling kan innehålla bland annat tandvård, fertilitetsbehandling (ofrivillig barnlöshet) och kosmetisk kirurgi. Medicinsk turism har ökat med åren genom att fler och fler resebyråer har specialiserat sig inom medicinsk turism.

The Battle of Breitenfeld took place in 1631, during the 30-year war. It was the biggest battle the Swedish army has participated in. The essay analyses the battle from a Swedish-Saxon perspective, using the basic skills, ground tactical principles and management philosophy of decentralized command.The essay is based on a case study stemming from a qualitative text analysis, and is as such divided into three parts. The first part of the essay describes my theory, and explains what the different terms stand for. The second part narrates the battle and the participating armies.

In 1998, 'the Naval Port of Karlskrona' was inscribed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and thus, it is equally protected as China?s Great Wall and the Pyramids of Egypt.The essay is a case study of Karlskrona, one of Sweden's most well planned cities, where famous urban planners and architects such as Erik Dahlberg and Nicodemus Tessin the Elder has been involved.Today, Karlskrona is a rather unknown small town in Sweden's outskirts, where population growth has been a problem. When Karlskrona was founded, in the late 17th century, Sweden was a major power. The Blekinge archipelago was in the middle of the Baltic dominion and Karlskrona represented a midpoint in the kingdom. Therefore, Karlskrona has a small town charm with the history and style of a cosmopolitan city.By initially studying how the town?s character of today is expressed, the history of Karlskrona is explored.

Problem: I den globaliserade värld vi lever i är den generella uppfattningen att samverkan är ett konkurrensmedel för företag. Det råder dock brist på explicit teoretiskt förankrade studier som kritiskt analyserar samverkan och dessutom handlar mycket av dagens samverkansforskning om det intraorganisatoriska perspektivet. Detta ser vi som ett problem då företag i dagens samhälle arbetar alltmer i nätverk. Att företag bildar nätverksorganisationer kan nämligen leda till intressekonflikter då flera olika intressen ska sammanlänkas, vilket kan vara problematiskt för chefen/ledaren.Syfte: Vårt syfte med denna uppsats är att undersöka vilka samverkansproblem chefer/ledare kan komma att konfronteras med i en nätverksorganisation.Metod: Syftet ska uppnås genom att empiriskt studera och analysera nätverksorganisationen Kristianstad Airports samverkan. Metoden vi använder oss av är en intervjubaserad kvalitativ fallstudie.Resultat: Det största problemet för en chef/ledare på Kristianstad Airport är att en av organisationerna är politiskt styrd.

Det internationella resandet till Sverige har sedan 1991 ökat med nästan 100 procent. Nästan 35 procent av all turism är utländsk konsumtion, där Tyskland näst Norge är Sveriges viktigaste utlandsmarknad. Var fjärde utländsk turist är tysk och exportdelen inom turismen i Sverige anses vara mer utvecklingsbar än den inhemska delen. I juli 2008 offentliggjorde regeringen en vision formulerad i rapporten ?Sverige det nya matlandet?, där Sverige lyfts fram som det nya matlandet i Europa.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka om de gymnasieelever i årskurs 3 som uppgav att de försökte minska sin vikt hade ett högre Body Mass Index (BMI) än de som inte försökte minska sin vikt, samt undersöka vilka faktorer som påverkade gymnasieelevernas vilja att gå ned i vikt? Författarna använde en survey-metod i form av en enkätundersökning för att kunna jämföra variabler samt se orsakssamband och påverkansfaktorer. Enkäterna besvarades på den aktuella gymnasieskolan med respektive klassföreståndare närvarande. Studiens resultat baseras på tre gymnasieklasser i årskurs 3 och omfattar 52 elever, varav 35 flickor och 17 pojkar. Resultatet visade att den största andelen deltagare som ville minska sin vikt var de normalviktiga och anledningen var för att de ansåg sig själva som för tjocka.

The aim of this Masters thesis is to examine how Jane Austens Pride and Prejudice, first published in 1813, was established in different literary orbits after the transformation to the television medium in 1995. I also want to find out what this adaptation meant for the popularity of Jane Austen, the circulation of her works and the rebirth of her authorship. It has furthermore been of interest to discuss the reasons why Jane Austen and her works became so popular. Questions posed in the study are: What has the 1995 production of Pride and Prejudice meant for the spreading of Jane Austens literary work and for the rebirth of her authorship? How has Pride and Prejudice moved between the literary orbits after it became a television-serial in 1995? Why did the circulation get the character it got in the 1990s? In order to find feasible answers to these questions I have used Hans Hertels model of the five literary orbits as theoretical starting point.

I dag är turismen en väldigt snabbväxande näring. En förutsättning för turism är någon typ av förflyttning. Då turisten tar sig från sin vardagliga miljö använder den sig oftast av någon typ av transport. Största delen av transporterna medför utsläpp skadliga för miljön. I dagens samhälle är miljöförstöringen allt mer hotande.

Stora Enso, Skoghalls bruk är en av världens största producenter av livsmedelskartong och tillverkar ca 700 000 ton per år. Pappers- och massatillverkning är en energikrävande industri och det finns stort intresse att sänka energianvändningen i olika processer. Maskinsalsventilationen på kartongmaskinen KM8 är utrustad med ett värmeåtervinningssystem som tar tillvara på överskottsenergi från pappersmaskinens torkparti. Denna energi används sedan för att förvärma tilluften till maskinalen. På grund av att styrningen och driften inte fungerar optimalt idag måste energi tillsättas från ett ångbatteri.Målet med denna studie var att utreda systemet i dagsläget i form av mass- och energibalanser för sommaren och vintern.

J.O. Mallander?s Extended Play (1968) is a sound recording, a readymade, of the counting of votes in two presidential elections in Finland, during 1962 and 1968. A voice repeats monotonously: ?Kekkonen, Kekkonen, Kekkonen, Kekkonen, Kekkonen?? Although the Finnish president Urho Kekkonen represents, almost personifies, the politics of the post World War II period in Finland, Extended Play does not explicitly address the political. Rather, as this essay argues, it engages in the discourses of power and politics by providing a temporalization of its fixedness, or what Jacques Derrida terms the proper.Extended Play is, in parallel with Derrida?s critique of western metaphysics, a deconstruction in sound that challenges the state ideologies conveyed in the process of the counting of votes, where the presuppositions of the presence of the voice characterizes the ambiguities of power that Kekkonen?s politics of neutrality represent.Mallander?s readymade emerges as a double of the game theory strategies of the Cold War, a mimetic surplus of the administrative control mechanisms of sound recording.

This study examines whether it would be profitable for travel distributors in the charter to expand its offerings to other travel related products, and also the products that are in demand. We are also studying the role that brand has for customers' choice of travel.According to Hellman, e-commerce is to be preferred since it is competitive because it gives the travel distributors the opportunity to lower down prices. Therefore, we also investigated the proportion of respondents who would consider buying these travel-related goods through the travel distributors? websiteIn support of this study, is a survey with a population of 100 charter travellers. Respondents are divided into two groups where the first group consists of people who have booked their trip in stores, and the other via the Internet.

The aim of this thesis is to examine the politics and activities of the Social Democratic students´ association Spartakus. Their relationships and political and ideological differences towards the Swedish Social Democratic Party (SAP) and the remaining parts of the Social Democratic youth organisation (SSU) in Linköping during 1969-1971 are examined. To fulfil this aim I have studied relevant literature and interviewed people who were active in Spartakus, as well as people from SSU and SAP in the municipal during the period. I have also studied written material produced by the students´ association itself during the period. The theoretical frame of reference consists of Dahl´s theory on a democratic political order, and party theories like the mass party theory of Duverger, theories from Sjöblom, Panebianco, Lipset and Tingsten and also Gidlund&Möller´s theory about different kinds of party members.

This study intends to examine why the Swedish children?s programme Bolibompa is produced the way it is during a larger catastrophe. Our intention was to find out how the editorial staff, in the children?s department in the public service television of Sweden (SVT),was handling the Estonia disaster, the September 11 attacks and the Asian Tsunami. To accomplish that, we first had to find out how the children?s programme looked during these catastrophes and also understand how the editorial staff was working with children?s programme during ordinary days.To achieve our purpose we have been interviewing five persons from SVT, who was involved in producing the children?s programme during these three catastrophes.
