This thesis is largely about museums and their role and development in and for society. With a field/case study of the District Six Museum in Cape Town, we try to encapsulate a modern function for museums within a context of 1) the current worldwide discussion on museums and their future, and 2) the development of a new democratic nation in South Africa, and museums possible role in that process. Through analysis of interviews made with concerned people within and outside the District Six museum weintend to get a picture of the views on this particular museum and its role and function, for its community and society at large, plus for other museums, as a possible role model. We find that this museum might be close to a type of museum that has been asked for by museologists and others in recent times..

Health and fitness are two controversial and not easily defined topics that affect people in our modern society every day. We believe that we can find a link between individualism, globalization and the stress concerning weight and appearance ideals. Our bodies have turned into a popular subject for the media, and there is no indication that the interest will decline. As the world gets more artificial, "natural" ideals are getting more attention, such as the concept of a strong and healthy body. But there is also a downside, for example with health issues such as cardiovascular disease increasing following the birth of high-fat diets.

Vi har effektiviserat och förenklat hanteringen av hörselproppar från mellanlagret tillpacklinjerna genom att utveckla det befintliga hanteringssystemet. Lösningen vi valt attanvända oss av baseras på ett system av transportband. Transportbanden har höjts upp föratt man ska kunna gå under vilket var ett krav från företaget. För att få fram en lösninghar vi använt oss av ett ramverk enligt Bellgran och Säfsten. Det har gjort att arbetetförflutit diciplinerat och metodiskt.

The current study sought to examine if post-produced semantic memory cues are a good aid for memory recall. It also focused on remembering units with a meaning, instead of just remembering lists of words. In the current study a factual text was used where the participants were tasked with recalling as much information as possible either with the aid of cues (keywords written by the participants themselfs), computer with Internet or no aids at all. The results showed that keywords are significantly better for memory recall. The results were discussed in regards to modern models describing semantic memory.

En av de centrala friheterna som erbjuds till medborgare och företag inom EU är fri rörlighet för personer, i vilken etableringsfriheten inbegrips. Denna rätt till fri etablering finns stadgad i fördraget om europeiska unionens funktionssätt. Genom icke-diskrimineringsprincipen i artikel 18 fördraget om europeiska unionens funktionssätt uppställs ett förbud att diskriminerna på grund av nationalitet inom EU. Rätten till fri etablering inom EU är inte en ovillkorlig frihet. Etableringsfriheten får inskränkas om inskränkningen kan rättfärdigas, vilket kan ske om fördragsreglerna tillåter en det eller om inskränkningen klarar det test som EU-domstolen skapat via dess praxis.Ett EU-företag kan välja mellan olika etableringsformer när en etablering i Sverige ska genomföras.

Den här uppsatsen uppmärksammar planerna för ombyggnaden av nya Slussen i Stockholm. Fokus i undersökningen ligger på mötesplatserna och dess deltagare enligt den vision som presenteras av Stockholms stad. Genom en kvalitativ metod granskas hur modern stadsplanering är tänkt att påverka människor som passerar och vistas vid Slussen. Analysen har ett retoriskt, semiotiskt och ideologiskt perspektiv och undersöker tre olika dokument: en publik broschyr, gällande detaljplan och gestaltningsprogram. Resultatet visar på en vision om en central plats i staden som befolkas av människor vars fritid och konsumtion är det mest väsentliga.

La?nder och sta?der la?gger allt mer fokus pa? att arbeta med det egna varuma?rket och har da?rmed fa?tt ett mer fo?retagsliknande seende med medborgarna som konsumenter. Samtidigt anva?nder de sig i allt sto?rre utstra?ckning av evenemang som ett marknadsfo?ringsmedel. Evenemang av olika slag har pa? sa? viss blivit ett kraftfullt kommunikationsverktyg.

Vi har i detta examensarbete samarbetat med den nordiska koncernen COOP Norden, enheten för Hälsa och Miljö.I rapporten utreder vi Coop's möjligheter att med hjälp av modern information's- och kommunikationsteknik förverkliga sina målsättningar angående transparen's och hållbarhet. Att göra det osynliga synligt är ärendet i aktuella undersökningar som diskutera's i rapporten. När konsumenter köper varor i affären vet de sällan hur dessa genom sin livscykel påverkat(eller kommer påverka) människor, djur och miljö. Är det möjligt att ge lättillgänglig varuinformation av denna typ till konsumenterna, i möjlig förlängning av den hjälp som befintliga ekologi-, etik- och miljömärken ger?.

Warehouses are a key aspect of modern supply chains and play a vital role in the success or failure of businesses today. Figures from the USA indicate that the capital- and operating costs of warehouses represent about 22 % of a company?s logistics costs while figures from Europe indicate 25 % (Baker & Canessa, 2009). Because warehousing is such an important function within a company, the authors chose to focus on this in their thesis. The purpose of this thesis has been to examine the significance of a Warehouse Management System (WMS) and item identification with attention to logistic efficiency.

In this paper I present a website on the Internet. The EuropeanLinkTreasury ELT is a resource to Swedish children between 10 and 15 years of age. I am looking at this resource from a gender point of view. I want to see if ELT has thought of this perspective. Are there as many websites for girls as there are for boys? I want to see if the text is separated between gender.

The purpose of this study is to examine and compare librarian profession with different professional theories. The intention is to describe how the librarian profession meets the different professional criteria and to what extent the librarian profession can be said to be professional in expertise, service and autonomy. Nolin?s modern theory provides an opportunity to analyze occupational groups based on professionalized basic concepts. The analysis of relevant material showed that the librarian is a service profession with high skills, but does not hold a high degree of autonomy.
