Vi har i denna studie valt att besöka en ungdomsteatergrupp, på en kulturskola, i deras arbete med uppsättning av Shakespeares pjäs En midsommarnatts dröm. Genom observationer och intervjuer har vi undersökt hur de, ungdomarna i gruppen och deras pedagog, förhåller sig till genus samt om och hur könsroller uppstår i gestaltandet på scen. Vårt syfte med uppsatsen är att undersöka deltagarnas gestaltande av karaktärer i teatergruppens pjäsarbete och ta reda på om och på vilket sätt könsroller uppstår. Samt få en större inblick i hur dessa ungdomar förhåller sig och/eller uttrycker sig kring genus och hur det i sin tur gestaltas på scen. Vårt syfte är även att se vilka eventuella konsekvenser deras gestaltning kan leda till. I vår litteraturdel redogör vi bland annat för begreppen kön, könsroll och genus.

The NIPF (Non Industrial Private Forest) owners in Sweden have very differentiated goals and needs with their forest. They have different backgrounds and some of them live at their forest estate while other live in an urban environment, and some are economically dependent on their forest estate while others are not. The heterogeneity among these forest owners creates problems for market actors that want to aim marketing messages to catch their interest. This is the problem background to the task that was provided to us as an investigative masters thesis for us. Their request was a plan for ensuring a successful marketing towards different segments of the NIPF owners. We commenced with a literature study based on market information and previously carried out similar investigations. We summarized the most important market information from the literature and created some hypotheses regarding goals and needs of the NIPF owners.

The purpose of this thesis was to study how preschool teachers interpret the values of the preschool curriculum that relates to culture and how the teachers describe how they work with these values in their professional practice. The study is based on social constructive and discourse analytic perspectives. I have studied how preschool teachers construct the concept of culture and the values of the preschool curriculum through a specific way to describe this.

The growing high frequency trading is affecting the game plan on the financial markets and concerns have grown about the high frequency users intentions with their business. It is difficult to receive an overall picture of the subject because the lack of previous research and even the research that exist do not show the entire picture.

Our results showed that high frequency trading provides liquidity to the market, there is a statistical connection between high frequency trading and volatility, no price manipulation is being used and there is a need for a supervision of the high frequency trading..

Digitala terrängmodeller (DTM) är mycket användbara geografiska produkter som behövs av många organisationer och företag. Som exempel kan nämnas telekommunikationsföretag som behöver terrängmodeller för analys vid planering av områden för nya master, och försäkringsbolag som använder DTM för att identifiera områden med hög eller låg risk för översvämningar när de fastställer premier. Markbaserad (terrester) mätning är en metod för framställning av DTM där man genom fältmätning insamlar data för objekt vars positioner bestäms med plan- och höjdkoordinater. Dessa objekt används sedan för att beskriva terrängen digitalt. Eftersom terrängmodellerna är generaliseringar av markytan, ställs olika krav på deras kvalitet, beroende på användningsområden. Målet med detta examensarbete var att skapa två digitala terrängmodeller i enlighet med tekniska specifikationen SIS/TS 21144:2004 (specifikation vid framställning av digitala terrängmodeller).

The aim of this study is to analyze how intercommunication between offenders are presented with artefacts during the planning and implementation of a robbery in a cash depot in Stockholm. The methodological approach is based on empiricism from police investigation protocols, which leads this study to a case study. The ambition is to analyze the empirical material from a sociocultural perspective. The results shows that the offenders use artefacts to plan the crime with artefacts within an internal intercommunication between the offenders. After the planning artefacts such as a helicopter, explosive material, telephones, saws and ladders have been used in an intercommunication to implement the robbery which leads to an analysis that hierarchy depends on the role of the artefacts, only when technical artefacts are included in the term of hierarchy..

Förslag på hur Arkitekturskolan kan ritas och programmeras om för att bli en offentlig byggnad i staden som ger mycket tillbaka till Stockholms invånare. Form och program är utformat att ge alla som befinner sig i och utanför byggnaden en ny syn på staden där inte bara gatuplan är offentligt och takplan är privat. Runt byggnaden slingras sig en offentlig promenad som leder upp till det öppna takplanet med bra utsikt över staden. Byggnaden har delats upp för att skapa torg på plan 2. GA är en offentlig plats likt en galleria 2.0..
