This thesis is based on a case study of the City of Stockholm. The study aims to explore the effects on the city's large investments caused by the public reform. Furthermore, the question concerns the character of the impact and if it will affect what type of investments that will be prioritized. The theoretical background is based on Brunsson's ideas about political organizations shifting towards corporate nature, and Almqvist's interpretation of New Public Management (NPM). Moreover, models explaining public management reform, and the main components of corporate shifting, are used.

Denna rapport beskriver mitt examensarbete som har varit ett forskningsprojekt inom materialet näver. Jag har genom min forskning undersökt om det går att introducera näver som en modern industriprodukt och kommit fram till att det är fullt möjligt.Jag har gjort en lång rad tester med nävern för att undersöka dess mångsidighet. Jag har försökt att limma ihop näver med och utan lim. Jag har kokat den, sytt i den, bränt den och destillerat den. Dessutom har jag tagit nävern till Linköping för att göra mekaniska hållbarhetstester och ta reda på vad den tål och inte tål.Slutligen har jag gjort två olika designer där nävern har en central roll i produkternas funktion och formspråk.

Abraham is the original patriarch. How does his leadership compare with a modern day popular culture patriarch with his roots in advertising, the shopkeeper Stig, star of the ICA advertising?

The purpose of this essay is to examine what can be considered as obscene in the work of JoelPeter Witkin and Marc Quinn, what the similarities and differences are. The essay concerns thehuman body, the norms around it and the old vision of the ideal body. To get closer to myquestion I’ve been examine the meaning of anti-ideal, what it means and what kind of history ithas. The works I’ve been using to reach to my purpose are Marc Quinn’s sculpture Alison Lapper(2005) and Joel Peter Witkin’s photography Abundance (1997). Both of the works are taking theposition that use to belong to the classical beauty.

Den kreativa melankolikern. Uppsatsens titel sammanfattar det övergripande temat för denna studie. Individer med psykisk skörhet har ofta egenskaper som är förknippade med samhällsnyttiga värden, såsom kreativitet, uppfinnarförmåga och konstnärlighet. Trots det så tycks det som om psykiskt sjuka i det moderna samhället alltjämt kategoriseras och tillskrivs negativa egenskaper som utgör en samhällelig belastning. Vad som sällan eller aldrig uppmärksammas är att psykiskt sjuka personer ofta har långa perioder av friskhet och därmed borde utgöra en samhällelig kraft.

Should new buildings blend in or contrast from the older buildings around? Could contrasts even emphasize different characters? This report is a discussion on that theme. I´ve studied different architects wiev on the question and studied different of examples of where new buildings contrast to the context in a successful way. In part two I´ve done a proposal on a new housing settlement next to Hammarbyhöjden in Stockholm. The new buildings contrast to the existing and the aim is to emphasize the characters in Hammarbyhöjden as well as in the new structure.

This text answers the questions how do we define what a campus is, how the concept of the campus came to exist and how it is used today, and how the Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH) campus can be designed according to site conditions and the conclusions drawn from case studies at Chalmers University of Technology and Karlstad University. The purpose of the case studies is to gain insight into their campuses advantages and disadvantages. This finally results in an interpretation of how the Blekinge Institute of Technology campus can be planned. A campus is the area of land on which a college or university and its surrounding buildings resides on. Campus as a concept meant a field at first, it later evolved at American universities due to their design of college campuses.

De lagar och direktiv som uttrycker penningpolitikens mål vilar ytterst på nationalekonomisk teori och emperi och färgas således av utvecklingen inom disciplinen. Nykeynesianismen utgör den dominerande teoribildningen inom modern makroekonomisk litteratur och går ut på att penningpolitikens övergripande mål bör bestå i att maximera nyttan för ett representativt hushåll. Riksbanken har prisstabilitet som mål, vilket inte alltid är förenligt med nykeynesianismens målfunktion. Det förefaller utifrån detta som intressant att undersöka hur de lagar och direktiv som fastställer den svenska penningpolitikens mål förhåller sig till modern makroekonomisk teori, samt på vilket sätt som Riksbanken tillämpar dessa lagar och direktiv. Mitt syfte är att undersöka huruvida det föreligger anledning att omformulera de lagar och direktiv som uttrycker den svenska penningpolitikens mål, med speciellt avseende på Riksbankslagen.

The purpose of this essay is to describe what difficulties and challenges are for teachers of religious education at upper secondary school. The essay is written from a teacher's perspective, where the focus is on the teacher's perceptions of the difficulties and challenges of teaching religious education. The methodology for the collection of information was done through qualitative interviews. Previous research shows that one of the challenges in the teaching profession is the interpretation of the curriculum, and then which of those is correct. The essay shows that the biggest challenges that teachers experience in the subject of religious education is the students' prejudice against different religious groups, and also the difficulty of getting students to understand the purpose of what is being taught.

Through qualitative interviews with six teachers at a school an understanding of teachers´ conceptions of, and conditions for their work on pupil democracy and student participation are sought.Formulation of questions were as follow:What does pupil democracy and pupil influence mean for selected teachers?How do selected teachers´ work with pupil democracy and pupil influence?What opportunities and complicatedness?s do selected teachers see with this work?Through this the selected teachers views on children and their thoughts on their role as a leader also are investigated.According to the curriculum the Swedish school should aim to transmit primary democratic values and pursue the education through democratic work models. Further the pupil should acquire influence of their education. The theory exposes several approaches on democracy and influence. These approaches are further on applied on the school.The result of the study evinces that selected teachers´ practice both pupil democracy and pupil influence.

This work is meant to contribute to the research of adaptation studies by focusing on a special case: the transformation of a fictional diary into a movie. In order to sustain the form of the literary source the adaptation to movie requires certain strategies. Först of all, the diary genre is characterized by a one-dimensional narration. Second, diaries only supply a few written dialogues, hence this "void" has to be compensated and filled by media specific measures. Third, the investigated diary is a story of individualization and emancipation of a single woman.

The purpose of my one year master?s thesis is to add a documentation of a data processing-process of photo- graphs to the administration of archives. The thesis is written from an archival science perspective which is to be seen in my choice of literature, method and questions at issue. To be able to form a documentation of a data processing-process I studied DiBiS, a company specialized in digitalizing old photographs and publish them on a online database. I also added a chapter where I studied how archival institutions used to handle their old photo- graphs in a traditional manner so the reader of this thesis will be able to understand and see the differences be- tween traditional and modern photograph management.

Denna rapport redovisar utvecklingen av grafiskt material som skapades åt Thomasgymnasiet i Strängnäs kommun i ett försök att uppdatera deras image om att dem är en modern skola. Under utvecklingen så skapades det ett flertal olika skisser, en moodboard och slutligen nio flyers och två olika affischer. Jag använde mig av Strängnäs kommuns officiella grafiska profil för att ledsaga utvecklingen, men försökte ändå att introducera nya element som kunde anses som acceptabelt av skolans ledning. Slutresultatet blev godkänt av skolans rektor, däremot så hann dem inte skrivas ut och skickas iväg till potentiella elever..
