The purpose of this study was to investigate and to bring attention to the phenomenon of violence in young relationships and to highlight the differences between adolescent and adult partner violence. Through semi-structured interviews with three school counsellors and three professionals who work with either adolescents or partner violence, gotten an insight into how they work with partner violence in adolescent relationships. The focus in the interviews was to get their perspective and experience on questions about the differences between adult and adolescent partner violence and the hardships that come with that. I concluded that youth exercise a lot of control and jealousy over each other, and that this has become normalized because of social media and different norms that are developing in the younger generations. It was also found that there are a lot of difficulties in the work with adolescent partner violence since it is hard to identify the expressions of violence in young relationships..

The value of a company's employees is considered to be higher and more important for a business success than ever. Losing employees is not only a loss of valuable knowledge, it also implies a significant cost related to the recruitment of new employees. To attract potential personnel, it is important for the companies to understand how to communicate with talents. Choosing a communication medium for a job advertisement is not easy when new options constantly arise. Despite the development of new communication mediums and channels, such as social mediums, the traditional communication medias still remain available.

Studiens syfte är belysa och tydliggöra vilka diskurser som är rådande om människor som hamnat i arbetslöshet fas 3 och se hur dessa diskurser konstrueras i svenska dagstidningar. De tidningarna som vi använt oss av i analysen är Aftonbladet, Expressen, Dagens Nyheter, Göteborgs Posten och Svenska Dagbladet. Metoden består utav ett integrerat teragerat perspektiv med begrepp ur den socialkonstruktionistiska idétraditionen avseende framställandet av den arbetslöse kopplat till den mediala exponeringen av arbetslösa i fas 3.Vi använder oss främst av begrepp ur diskursteorin och kritisk diskursanalys. I analysen används begreppet subjektspositioner ifrån diskurspsykologin. Slutsatser i studien är att de mediala diskurser som råder om arbetslösa i fas 3 till stora delar är ideologiska. De mediala diskurserna positionerar de arbetslösa negativt samt tillskriver dessa olika egenskaper med negativa förtecken. Resultatet i studien visar på två olika diskurser, den strukturella diskursen och den individualistiska diskusen. Diskurserna kämpar om tolkningsföreträde av den rådande uppfattningen kring jobb- och utvecklingsgarantins tredje fas.Den första textanalysen belyser en föreställning om den arbetslöse i fas 3 som sammankopplas med exploatering av den arbetslöse samt arbetslöshet och utanförskap.

This study focuses on the booking agencies in Sweden and their point of view on the reality with a focal point from the mass media perspective, which says that they have become rather wealthy because of the changes within the music business. The mass media describes the booking agencies situation as golden because of the economical and technological changes that more or less have paralysed the record industry. The study is performed with a qualitative approach and is based on interviews with relevant individuals from eight different Swedish booking agencies. These individuals have been chosen to match as many different segments in the booking agency business as possible. On account of the qualitative approach it is difficult to generalize the conclusion of the study.

The main purpose of this study has been to examine and analyze what kind of discussions that takes place in the commentary fields of swedish online newspapers. We started by collecting nearly 2000 commentaries from three newspapers and then used a quantitative content analysis to interpret the material.We divided the comments into different categories like arguing, media criticism and opinion on other comments in order to see which categories were most common. The results of the analysis shows that there is a discussion in the commentary fields where most of the commentaries stick to the subject, where media criticism is unusual and where arguing is quite common. The discussion however is usually negative. The results can be connected to the theories of deliberative democracy, flaming and earlier research on commentary fields.

The aim of this thesis is to analyse and if possible improve the communication, mainly seen from a pedagogical perspective, between the IT company (Nostratic) and their clients in a first meeting. The analysis covers the preparation part, communication during the meetings, the technical terminology used during the meetings as well as the follow up of the meetings. Due to the lack of research within this area and the lack of personal experience on my part, the conducted study has been explorative with the use of qualitative methods. Although my first aim was to put emphisis on the pedagogical part of the communication, I found while conducting the study that there were other areas of higher importance to analyse in order to improve the customer meetings. Unfortunately the company went bankrupt in the middle of my study which resulted in me not beeing able to try out the potential improvements.

Jag har i uppsatsen undersökt om stadsdelen Majorna har någon funktion i den enskilda individens miljöagerande och hur den media förmedlade uppfattningen att världen har stora miljöproblem hanteras. För att finna svar på frågeställningarna har jag använt mig av en mindre enkätundersökning, men också genomfört kvalitativa intervjuer. Samtliga personer som medverkat i uppsatsen bor i stadsdelen Majorna.Resultaten tyder på att största delen av de medverkande personerna inte anser sig bli påverkade av stadsdelen i det egna miljöagerandet. Det framkommer också att miljöproblemen upplevs som globala men att individen hanterar miljöproblemen utifrån en i Becks mening individualiserad miljömoral. Personerna har en viss medvetenhet om att de är beroende av andra faktorer för att komma tillrätta med miljöproblemen.

Fenomenet med kvinnliga självmordsbombare är en relativt ny företeelse. De senaste åren har det dock visat sig bli allt vanligare i till exempel Ryssland och mellanöstern. Media utformar rapporteringen kring kvinnliga respektive manliga självmordsbombare olika. Diskursen är låst till uppfattningen om att mannen är norm och att det finns olika anledningar till varför kvinnor jämfört med män väljer att använda sina liv som vapen. Till exempel framhålls ofta en kvinnliga självmordsbombares skäl till handlingen som personliga.
