Syftet med denna uppsats var att förstå de bakomliggande motiven till att kvinnor från Ryssland har valt att emigrera till Norrbotten för äktenskap med svenska män. Studien är regionalt begränsad till Norrbotten och undersöker även kvinnornas förväntningar på livet med en svensk make och deras upplevelser i det nya hemlandet samt hur det har påverkat deras identitet. Studien är kvalitativ till sin ansats och det empiriska materialet bygger på djupintervjuer med tio kvinnor från Ryssland i åldrarna 25 till 50 år som flyttade till Sverige efter äktenskap med svenska män. De teoretiska utgångspunkter som varit vägledande i tolkningen av det empiriska materialet har varit begreppen identitet, reflexivitet och trygghet. Studiens resultat visar att de bakomliggande orsakerna till kvinnornas migration från Ryssland till Sverige var ekonomiska och sociala otryggheten, deras längtan efter att uppnå den kulturellt betingade kvinnoideal som kvinnorna inte kunde förverkliga i deras situation i Ryssland, visionen om bättre värld i Väst.

In Lake Vänern, Sweden, there is an endemic population of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) that lives its entire life in fresh water. The salmon is hindered from migrating to its natural spawning sites in the northern part of the River Klarälven by nine hydro-electric power plants. None of the hydro-electric power plants have fishways so that salmon migrating upstream or downstream may pass. In the current situation, the upward migrating salmon are caught in a fish trap at the most downstream located power plant in Forshaga. From there, the salmon are driven in a truck, past eight power plants and released a few kilometers upstream of the eighth power plant at Edsforsen.

The study has examined how some immigrants have managed to reestablish their professional careers in Sweden. Through in-depth-interviewing with six immigrant informants representing different genders, age and professional experience the process of successfully reestablishing a career within the same professional area in Sweden as in their native country is examined.The study looked at structural and individual possibilities and obstacles which affected the individual. In addition the study looked at the personal characteristics and strategies used by the informants to overcome and succeed in adapting and reestablishing their working life.  The study has drawn on human capital and social capital theory for a basic understanding of how education and skills affect. In addition the informants have surpassed structural barriers affecting many other immigrants.

Syftet med studien är att öka kunskapen om inomeuropeisk migration till den svenska landsbygden. Fokus ligger på nederländare som under 2000-talet flyttat till Klarälvdalen i Värmland och där driver turistföretag. Mot bakgrund av tidigare huvudsakligen kvantitativa studier är syftet att fördjupa kunskapen om inflyttarnas bakgrund och motiv till migrationen och om hur de använder sig av transnationella nätverk i sitt nuvarande liv. Kvalitativ metod används i form av intervjuer med familjer/turistföretagare. Vidare har webbsidor för sjutton turistföretag som drivs av nederländare i området studerats, kompletterat med några webbsidor och en intervju med turistföretagare från ett annat nordeuropeiskt land.

Isabella Löwengrips karriär tog fart genom att hon 2005 startade en blogg där hon delgav omvärlden delar av sitt liv som tonåring. Hennes blogg växte snabbt till en av Sveriges mest lästa bloggar och hon gjorde sig känd under namnet Blondinbella. Isabellas personliga varumärke har under de senaste sex åren genomgått en ompositionering på marknaden från att ha varit en ytlig skönhetsbloggare till att idag vara en av landets främsta unga entreprenörer. Den här studien avser en fördjupning i ompositioneringsprocessen och en jämförelse av hur Isabella framställde sig själv i sin blogg 2006 respektive 2012. Studien baseras på material från Isabellas blogg och analyseras genom en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Analysprocessen sker i två steg, först en beskrivande analys av det manifesta innehållet i materialet och därefter en tolkande analys av det latenta innehållet.

It is estimated that 22 000 contaminated areas exist in Sweden today. In order to classify the risk of contaminant migration from these areas and to prioritize which of these contaminated areas should first be treated, the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has designed a method, for the investigation of contaminated areas (MIFO). One of these contaminated areas is the landfill Gräsötippen outside Köping. The landfill has been used by both Yara AB and the Köping municipality between the years 1945 and 1975, and both industrial and household waste have been deposited there. The aim of this report is to survey which contaminants that can be found in the soil and water in the landfill Gräsötippen and to evaluate the migration of these contaminants.
