The aim of this thesis is to investigate how purchasingmanagers in bookshops and public librarians reason withregards to their selection of fiction literature. Nineinterviews have been conducted in this qualitative studymade in the spring of 2013; four librarians, four bookmerchants, as well as a market director of a major chain ofbookstores. Our focus has been particularly directed toascertaining what influence the cultural-political mission oflibraries have had on the process of selection, as well as theextent to which factors such as demand and quality play apart in both organizations. We have been interested inseeing how libraries and bookstores compare with regards tothese factors, because of obvious differences in their goalsand purposes. Librarians see both the benefits and flaws intheir way of working, as well as in the way in whichbookstores conduct their business, and vice versa, that theyare often successful in cooperating, like when arrangingvisits from authors etc.

Utlandstjänstgöring kan för många vara en spännande del i yrkeskarriären. En mission i utlandet innebär möten med andra kulturer, främmande språk, insikt i främmande länders organisationer och ger framförallt en möjlighet till personlig utveckling. Tjänstgöringen utomlands ger ofta mersmak, väljer man att åka iväg en första gång så följer gärna fler missioner. Polismannen samlar på sig, utöver den personliga utvecklingen, en stor kompetens genom de erfarenheter en utlandstjänstgöring ger. Med hjälp av denna rapport vill vi belysa problematiken kring tillvaratagandet av kompetensen efter hemkomst från myndighetens sida samt visa på hur den enskilda uppfattar tillvaratagandet.

Ledningsmetoden Försvarsmakten använder sig av är uppdragstaktik och utbildningen mot den har kunnat riktats ganska fritt. När kadetternas utbildning nu strävar mot akademiska mål, snarare än praktiska, kan innehållet av uppdragstaktik i den numera teoritunga utbildningen ifrågasättas. Ytterligare en aspekt som kan ifrågasättas i den teoritunga utbildningen är det ledarskap som kadetterna utbildas mot.Det övergripande syftet är att undersöka om kadetterna vid officersprogrammet utbildas mot den ledningsmetod och ledarstil som Försvarsmakten använder sig av, det utvecklande ledarskapet och uppdragstaktik.Utifrån kursplanerna, utbildas kadetterna vid OP 08-11 mot utbildningsmål som kan härledas mot uppdragstaktik och utvecklande ledarskap?I vilken mängd återspeglas dessa i sådant fall?Förenandet av uppdragstaktik och utvecklande ledarskap möjliggörs vetenskapligt i en rapport av Lena Stenlund och Gerry Larsson. Den utgör grund för det analysverktyg som används i granskandet av kursplanerna.Studien är att betrakta som att en kvalitativ innehållsanalys gjorts av kursplanerna för OP 08-11, där en deskriptiv jämförelse har gjorts mellan varje kursplan och analysverktyget.Sett till frågeställningarna kan diskussion knappast väckas enligt denna studie om att lärandemålen vid officersprogrammet inte kan härledas mot uppdragstaktik eller utvecklande ledarskap.

Sweden is known to be one of the world?s most equal countries. Nevertheless, out  of  Sweden?s 262 listed companies, only seven  of  them  has  a  female  president, which  is  equal  to  3,4  percent. To  counteract  these  numbers  there  are  several  possibilities.  One  arrangement  that  is  highly  controversial     is  affirmative  actions.  But  there  are  other  options,  for  instance  more  and  more female  networks  are  starting  to  rise  and  many  of  them  also  offers  a  mentoring  program  where  the  mentee  gets  the  opportunity  to  learn  from  someone  with  more  experience.The  purpose  of  this  study  is  to  examine  what  difference  the  female  network  Q80,  with  focus  on  its  mentoring  program,  is  doing  for  the  mentee.  As  an  underlying  purpose  the  study  is  also  examining  what  visions  and  attitudes  the  management  and  the  mentors  is  communicating  within  Q80.  The  focus  is  mainly  on  the  visions  of  Q80,  menas  mentors  and  business  exceeding mentorship.  A  survey  has  been  carried  out  among  mentees  from  three  different  seats of mentoring  programs  where  they  have  answered  19  different  questions  regarding  their  time  as  a  mentee.  Furthermore  interviews  have  taken  place  with the management  of Q80  and  two  mentors.  The  results  are  analyzed  based  on  theories  about  gender,  women  in   management,  leadership,  mentoring  program  and  organizational structure.  The  result  shows  that  Q80i  as  a  source  of  inspiration  and  a  support  for  the  category  of  "career  women"  with  its  core  mission  to  strengthen  the  participation of  individuals  on  a  personal  level  more than  to  work  to  even  out  the  gap  in  the  Swedish  labor market.

The living library started in Denmark at the festival of Roskilde in 2000. It was initiated by the youth organisation ?Stop volden? (?Stop the violence?). Since 2005 the idea of lending a human being who represents a prejudice has also become a practice in a few public libraries in Sweden. I found it interesting to analyse the living library in relation to the mission of diversity in the public library.

This is a paper about the process of creating meaning in speeches held by president Bush after the terrorist attacks on September 11th 2001.

What are the conditions for children's participation at TioTretton Library? Based on the relevant theory of participation, how participatory are the children in the library's activities? What significance has TioTretton Library's work with children participation for the children's ability to empowerment?The theoretical framework is mainly centred upon the Ladder of Participation designed by R. A.

Vårt syfte är att konkretisera och analysera vad introduktionen av utsläppsrätter kommer att innebära och belysa de eventuella oklarheter som kan uppstå inför introduktionen av utsläppsrätter.För att uppfylla vårt syfte har vi valt att genomföra intervjuer med redovisningsspecialister, auktoriserade revisorer, sakkunniga vid Naturvårdsverket samt tre olika fallföretag. Vi har genomfört intervjuer med personer från Deloitte, Ernst & Young, KPMG, Öhrlings PricewaterhouseCoopers, Gelita AB, Perstorp AB och Sydkraft AB.Dessa intervjuer har kompletterats med e-postenkäter skickade till alla de företag som tilldelats utsläppsrätter inför introduktionsperioden 2005-2007. Vi har använt litteratur som tar upp begreppen harmonisering, immateriella tillgångar, revisorsrollen samt förtroendet för siffror och konstruktionen av fakta.Vi har funnit att ett antal framstående specialister inom redovisning står för det huvudsakliga kunskapskapitalet inom området utsläppsrätter. Dessa personers uttalanden etableras gärna i redovisningskretsar som fakta och refereras vidare till användarna. Nätverk har en ansenlig och tydlig roll för att informationen effektivt skall förmedlas vidare.
