SammanfattningTrots att magasin utgör en stor del av mediesystemet har det inte gjorts så mycket forskning på det området. Den forskning som finns handlar främst om magasinens innehåll. Vi har i stället undersökt omslaget eftersom det är det som i första hand säljer magasinet. Livsstilsmagasinen har en bred målgrupp och många titlar innefattas i genren. Därför är deras omslag om möjligt än viktigare än andra tidskrifters för att locka läsare.

For centuries, the human body has been used as a mean to project the norms, moral values and aesthetic preferences that exist throughout society. It has been controlled through constrictive fashion, family and social virtues and through how we perceive gender and sexuality. This essay strives to show, not only how the body and the aesthetic values coexist, but also how they work together and influence each other, with the body as the aesthetic medium. To do this, Michel Foucault?s writings of sexuality and his theories on morality and discipline, as well as Judith Butler?s works on normativity and performativity are being used.

Denna uppsats handlar om vad som hänt i namnskicket bland personnamnen mellan år 1998 och år 2007. Syftet är att se vad som har hänt, och varför, på nio år. De 100 vanligaste pojk- och flicknamnen 1998 och 2007 har undersökts och tendenser har framkommit. De korta namnen, de namn som tillhör de nordiska, de namn som var populära kring år 1900 och de lite mer ovanliga namnen har blivit mer populära 2007 jämfört med 1998. Namn med betydelse har blivit mer populära bland flicknamnen, medan bibliska namn blivit mindre populära bland pojknamnen.

Syftet med den här studien är att undersöka elevers tillämpningar av skriftliga räknemetoder inom området subtraktion i årskurs 3 samt att få förståelse för elevers eventuella svårigheter med olika räknemetoder. Studien genomfördes med hjälp av diagnoser i två klasser samt kvalitativa intervjuer med nio elever och deras matematiklärare. Resultatet visar att den mest frekventa räknemetod eleverna använder, är standardalgoritmen. Studiens resultat visar även att fåtal av eleverna kan använda mer lämpade räknemetoder utifrån vilket typ av tal det är. De svårigheter eleverna beskriver med standardalgoritmen är främst när det krävs växling och dubbel växling över nollan..

Under de senaste 15 åren har Modeindustrin växt och blivit både snabbare och billigare och begreppet fast fashion har etablerats. Fast fashion är en affärsstrategi inom Modeindustrin vars mål är att reducera ledtiderna från idé till butik. Strategin syftar till att tillfredsställa kundernas begär av de senaste trenderna på mycket kort tid. Fast fashion branschen kan sägas stå i motsägelse till en hållbar utveckling, då den representerar korta Modecykler där kläder tenderar att bli ?slit och släng? varor.

Objective: The objective of this thesis is to investigate how Scania has attained success to establish on the Indian market and to inquire into the establishment process of Scania and their entrance in the Indian market. The thesis describes different factors such as the product, Mode of entry, time of entry and choice of market that play a role when a company establishes and invest in a foreign market.Method: This thesis is limited to the process of establishing Scania on the Indian truck market. A qualitative approach has being utilized in this study, consisting of interviews withStaffan Sjöström, development manager at the R&D department, Koen Knoops, vice president at Financial Services and Henrik Fagrenius, former managing director for Scania in India. Data collection from various journals and articles have been conducted for the presentation of the number of sold newly registered trucks in comparison to the number of sold newly registered trucks in India by Volvo, Tata Motors and Ashok Leyland during 2010, 2011, 2012 and the first three quarters of 2013.Theory: With a starting-point in empirism, we have used a theoretical frame of reference to describe Scania´s establishment process. Scania makes use of an internationalization strategy, namely Market Selection, Time of Entry and Entry Mode and the network Model, which describes the process of establishing on a foreign market as a business association with various players on the market.

In many clinical applications, it is desirable to transmit sensor information wireless. In earlier research, investigation transmit ECG signal using Bluetooth, was performed. However, when Bluetooth has some drawbacks it is of interest to investigate alternative methods, one such method is ZigBee. Bluetooth has higher data rate speed (1Mbps) than ZigBee (250kbps). However, Bluetooth consumes more power.

Modebranschen har kommit att bli en uppmärksammad bransch och de senaste åren har svenskt Mode visat sig starkt på den internationella scenen. Samtidigt är det en konkurrensutsatt bransch där mindre Modeföretag trängs tillsammans med klädkedjor. För dessa aktörer blir det därmed allt viktigare att söka sig till utländska marknader för att kunna växa. Det kräver i sin tur resurser som många av de mindre Modeföretagen idag saknar; kunskap om marknaden, exportkunskap och affärsmässig kunskap.Detta gör det intressant att se vilka faktorer som är viktiga för att mindre svenska Modeföretag ska lyckas etablera sig på den internationella marknaden. Syftet med uppsatsen är att utvärdera och analysera förutsättningarna för fem mindre svenska Modeföretags internationaliseringsprocess.

This is a study of the reactions of high school students in Sweden when reading A Modest proposal (Swift, 1729). If they get the chance to write whatever they want about the text, what do they find important? This study emanates from Rosenblatts (2002) view of reading out of two different stances: the aesthetical and the efferent. The aesthetical Mode is reading for pleasure and experiencing the text, whilst in efferent reading the reader is primarily focused on what he or she will carry away as information from the text (Rosenblatt). To be able to categorize the material from the students more properly, a different set of ideas about reading Modes, obtained from Tengberg (2011), is also presented and used in this essay..

The aim of the study was to through a qualitative method with two focus groups investigate how young women percieve that their identity creation is influenced by them reading celebrities Blogs and in that case, whether this type of Internet activity affect their autobiographical memory, the foundation for personal identity. Since the main task of the autobiographical memory is to give the ego and its social Mode a foundation by sharing memories with others, the Internet activity should be seen as an important factor for the identity formation of young people. Today, the young spend equally mauch time being connected to various media as they do socializing with family and friends. The results indicate that young women view the world and lifestyle that known Bloggers expose intheir Blogs as a kind of ideal. The young women got an aha reaction when they realized that what the Bloggers expose is not always equal to the real life..

Introduction: The world is changing rapidly and the uncertainty that characterizes today´s society makes companies preparations for the future crucial. Purpose: To examine how CEO:s in small companies look at the future and what kind of preparations they make in order to meet it. Hereby, our ambition is to find out whether there is a difference between companies working in industries characterized by different degrees of stability. Mode of procedure: The purpose of this thesis has been fulfilled by interviews with four CEO:s from industries characterized by different degrees of stability. Result: The companies working in relatively unstable environments tended to be relatively more flexible and have an emergent strategy formation process, whereas companies working in relatively stable environments displayed relatively less flexibility and tended to have a planning strategy formation process..

In this paper I study how the repeal of the Swedish wealth tax (1 of January 2007) has affected people´s labour supply behaviour. This particular issue is relevant because it may help us understand some of the effects of the earnings tax changes that have taken place in Sweden. Accoring to standard economic theory a repealed wealth tax is similar to an income effect for the persons who previously paid the tax. That means that they theoretically will want to consume more leisure, that is decrease their labour supply. The method I am using to test this hypothesis is a difference-in-difference approach where the treatment group consists of persons who previously paid the tax and the control group of comparable persons who did not pay the tax.
