The purpose of this essay is to analyze the media coverage of the case with Martin Schibbye and Johan Persson in the four biggest newspapers in Sweden in order to see how social constructions is created through the use of language. It is also of interest to see how nationality is represented in the material. The theory is based on Edward Said?s theory of post colonialism and the prejudices that has developed from the western way of viewing ?The orient?. It is also based on Richard Dyers theory on whiteness and binary oppositions, which shows how ?whiteness? is viewed as the norm and is also never questioned.The method is critical linguistics and based on Norman Fairclough and Michael Halliday.

An archaeological excavation that was made in 2016 of a Pitted Ware Culture settlement at Tr?s?ttra in the northern archipelago of Stockholm was very rich in artefacts and features. Especially unique was the over 300 fragments of clay figurines that were found. Never had so many been discovered at a neolithic place in Sweden. In Scandinavia it is only on the Finnish islands of ?land that similar figurines have been found. The aim of this study is to increase the understanding of the clay figurines of Tr?s?ttra and ?land through comparative studies.

Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att skapa ökad förståelse för medias roll i förmedlingen av begreppet CSR, corporate social responsibility. Med media menas i studien svensk papperstidning.Metod: Diskursanalys kring CSR i svensk tryckpress, inspirerad av Michael Foucault och Norman Fairclough, applicerad på nyhetsartiklar. I studien används ordet diskurs som en förklaring till att nyhetstexter påverkar den sociala verkligheten. CSR innebär företags sociala ansvar, kring frågor om bland annat miljö, som går utöver vad lagen kräver.Slutsatser: Analysresultatet visar att CSR i nästintill samtliga artiklar benämns synonymt med samhällsansvar, som alltså varit det mest dominerande området som behandlats i de artiklar som har analyserats. Det framkommer även att det finns skillnader i artiklarnas intertextualitet, beroende på vilken tidning de tillhör.

Corruption is a very broad definition which is not easy to define. It happens due to the phenomenon?s complexity and its many different forms and syndromes. Before fighting corruption it is therefore necessary to find its roots and form. Furthermore, many countries aspire today for a better democracy but find visible barriers on their ways in a form of corruption i.a.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vad bilderna i en tidning med yngre målgrupp förmedlar för budskap till läsaren. Den tidning som valts till undersökningen är Julia, vars målgrupp är tjejer i åldern 9?14 år.Med utgångspunkt i den övergripande frågeställningen: "Hur ser människorna ut på bilderna i Julia ? och vad förmedlar detta till läsaren?", genomförs en kvantitativ innehållsanalys utifrån 28 variabler. Totalt undersöks 1 245 bilder på människor i nio nummer av Julia från år 2000?2010.Uppsatsen utgår från teorier framförda av bland annat Jostein Gripsrud, Nina Huntemann och Michael Morgan, som avhandlar medias roll i barns skapande av identitet.Undersökningen visar att den typiska tjejen i Julia är ung, icke-blond, har europeiskt utseende, poserar, ler och tittar in i kameran.

Syftet med arbetet Sann på Scen var att undersöka och jämföra hur två olika teatertekniker kan fungera i det förberedande arbetet inför två konserter. Jag valde att som konstnärlig del göra två minikonserter, vardera med tre sånger. Den första konserten förberedde jag sceniskt utifrån Michael Tjechovs teknik och den andra utifrån Konstantin Stanislavskijs metod.I beskrivning av arbetets musikaliska och sceniska material har jag redogjort för de delar av Tjechovs och Stanislavskijs tekniker jag valt att arbeta med ? övningar och tankesätt ? samt de sex sånger som ingår i arbetet.I beskrivning av projektets genomförande har jag skildrat hur jag arbetade med sångerna och vilket resultatet blev, vilka övningar som visade sig fungera bra respektive mindre bra, samt reflekterat över vad det kan bero på. Slutsatsen är att det finns mycket att hämta både hos Stanislavskij och Tjechov och att vad som fungerar bäst, är beroende av situation och sångens karaktär.

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur anställda i offentlig sektor och chefer i privat sektor uppfattar sitt handlingsutrymme. Jag vill även undersöka om det fanns skillnader respektive likheter i verksamheterna. Och om det finns skillnader i handlingsutrymmet mellan anställda och cheferna. För att ta reda på detta använder jag mig av fem stycken semi-strukturerade intervjuer. Michael Lipskys teori: Street-level bureaucracy eller som den heter på svenska: Tjänsteman används eftersom den berör handlingsutrymme och är en omdebatterad teori.

The purpose of this study was to understand how social workers experienced working with Addiction Severity Index (ASI) in relation to the goal set by the National Board of Health and Welfare. The method is spread nationwide and therefore it is of great importance to examine how the social workers themselves experience the demands and the resources surrounding ASI. We choose to do a qualitative study interviewing eight social workers at six different occasions. The result was analyzed using Max Weber?s ideal type bureaucracy and Michael Lipsky?s thesis on street-level bureaucrats.

A decision has been made that the Swedish and the Finnish Navy will expand their cooperation by creating the ?Swedish-Finnish Naval Task Group? (SFNTG).Based on Michael Codner?s theory of interoperability, this essay?s aim is to investigate if the Swedish and the Finnish currently are interoperable with each other, due to their military strategic concepts.According to Codner, similarities between the cooperating nation?s military strategic concepts are required in order to reach a high degree of interoperability. This essay will analyze and compare Sweden and Finland?s military strategic concepts, based on three categories; Global Projection, Territorial Defence and Combat Capability.The conclusion is that there are differences between the Swedish and the Finnish military strategic concepts in every category, of varying degrees. By looking at the results of this investigation, it is clear in what direction the two nations have to adapt their concepts to enable a high degree of interoperability for the future of the SFNTG..

This essay contains a comparative analysis of Erik Olin Wrights Marxist class analysis and Michael Hardt and Antonio Negris post-Marxist class analysis as presented in their books ?Empire? and ?Multitude: War and democracy in the age of Empire?. I discuss the shift in analytical focus from state level to global level that Hardt and Negri's analysis represent and the ensuing relevance of this for contemporary class analysis. The essay also address the challenge and implications posed to class analysis by the ever increasing economic globalization, from a material production to an ever growing immaterial service economy and the decrease in state power in controlling capital and labor movement. I propose that analytical understanding of class conflict help us to a better understanding of the mechanisms and dynamics that generate social and economical inequalities and that an updated Marxist class analysis still have much to contribute to our understanding to how these issues not only shape our society but also our capacity to counteract them..
