Det omutbara Sverige? : En studie om korruption på kommunal nivå
Corruption is widespread, and exists more or less in all countries in the world. It is today high on the international political agenda as a result of globalization and is seen as a serious impediment to development. In 2011, Sweden scored 9,3 out of 10 on the Transparency International corruption index which gave the country a 4th place of 182 on the list. This refers to a rather low corruption. Although Sweden is a country with low level of corruption that does not mean that it is completely corruption-free.
Minimizing acts of violence through telephone-linked care: an
automated telephone system for outpatients in forensic
psychiatric care
Achievements within the fields of computer- and telecommunication technology have led to a revolution when it comes to managing information. These achievements have made it possible to offer new services in healthcare, especially in telemedicine. New technology has become a complement to traditional care, thus partly compensating for insufficient time and resources. Telephone Linked Care (TLC) is a telecommunication technology that enables automated dialog counselling and monitoring of patients in their homes. During the last two decades numerous randomized controlled studies with TLC have demonstrated improvement among outpatients with chronic and health behaviour disorders.

Hylluppställning och användarbeteende i en skönlitterär samling : en fallstudie av Lunds stadsbibliotek
The aim of this thesis was to look closer into the shelf arrangement and user behavior in a fiction collection with the municipal library in Lund as an example. The purpose was to investigate to what extent the shelf arrangement in this library is adapted to the behavior of users when it comes to searching for and choosing fiction. The study is mainly focused on the division between Hc- and Hce-classified books (Swedish fiction and fiction translated into Swedish), the special shelving of the publications of the last five years, and the genre categorization. The user behavior is primarily examined from the perspective of three search strategies; looking for a specific author or title, browsing within a genre or browsing without having a specific genre in Mind. The study also deals with within which genres of fiction the users are searching and if they are looking for a book that is translated or not, new or older.

The purpose of this thesis was to trace and discuss tendencies in the debate of the computerization of the libraries, in Swedish library press during the period of 1970-1999. The set-out was the issue of how the library journals, as representatives and mouthpieces of a by tradition humanistic profession, coped with a revolutionary innovation related to a field (data technology) which they hadn't any knowledge or even interest in. The examination included three Swedish library journals: Biblioteksbladet with connection to Sweden?s most established library organization (SAB); Bis which is founded upon a socialistic base and; DIK-forum rooted in the union. The analysis of the debate was partly based on three different sets of values related to data and systems development.
CAVE CANEM : En undersökning av hundmosaiker i Pompeji
The aim of this essay is to examine four floor mosaics from private dwellings in Pompeii. These 1st century floor mosaics decorate the fauces of the houses and they all depict watchdogs. The first question to be asked is if there are other common features between the houses that can explain why these house owners chose this figure. The second question is if you can reveal, from the existing knowledge about the house owners, the same information. The third question to be asked is if the watchdog mosaics have anything to do with the location of the houses in Pompeii.
Elever med Asperger syndrom och deras upplevelse av pedagogiskt stöd i specialutformat gymnasieprogram
Elever med Asperger syndrom har till följd av sin diagnos ofta svårigheter med theory of Mind, central coherens, exekutiva funktioner, perception och socialt samspel med flera. Dessa svårigheter har för eleverna, i olika stor utsträckning, negativa konsekvenser i skolan. Syftet med studien är således att belysa hur elever med Asperger syndrom upplever det pedagogiska stöd som de tagit del av i specialutformat gymnasieprogram, inom kommunal gymnasieskola. Metoden som använts är öppet riktad intervju samt kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Den kvalitativa innehållsanalysen resulterade i fyra teman:- Elevens tankar och känslor ? om studierna och den egna personliga utvecklingen- Bristande koncentration ? om den egna förmågan och omgivningens påverkan- Social interaktion ? om umgänge och samarbete med andra elever i skolmiljön- Stödets betydelse i skolvardagen ? om pedagogiken och skolpersonalenUtifrån dessa teman kan slutsatsen dras att eleverna i stor utsträckning är nöjda med sin studiemiljö och utbildning samt anser att skolan bidragit till deras personliga utveckling.

Koma som konst
In my work as speech and language pathologist I often meet people emerging from coma andtheir experiences intrigue me. Coma is an eluding human condition that offers a challenge formodern science and our view on body and Mind. In my Master project in Creative Writing Iwanted to try to enter this zone that is so hard for a clinician to reach: the personal experienceof being in a coma. By writing HUSK MIDAS I have tried to create a realistic fiction based onresearch on coma state and real-life stories of people waking up from coma.In my exploration of the coma state I found that lucid dreaming is common apart fromdreaming, many patients experience sensory inputs like sound and touch which aremisinterpreted and woven into dreams and creating a feeling of confusion and fear.Coma is a frequent theme in literature and film but is often depicted unrealistically andmisleadingly. A few works like Artur Lundkvist?s Journeys in Dream and Imagination andthe film The Descendents by Alexander Payne show a more reality based fiction.
