The aim of this work is to define the party structure of Feministic Initiative (FI). We want to examine the structure of an organization that doesn?t start out with a hierarchical order. We further intend to examine the party?s leadership; whether or not it is equal, between the three spokespersons.We find it interesting as a topic from a democratic point of view as well as to see if a flat structure could work in practice.

The banking industry is a fundamental part of the economy in Sweden. Despite its importance, the competition and the concentration level within the Swedish banking sector is relatively unexplored. This paper aims to examine the development of the concentration level in the Swedish banking sector during a period of ten years, 2003 to 2013. The examined banks in the study are the four largest banks in Sweden; Handelsbanken, Nordea, SEB and Swedbank, and four selected niche banks, ICA banken, Ikano Bank, Länförsäkringar Bank and Skandiabanken. In order to examine the development in percentage change, there are six selected variables; loans, deposits and borrowings (both public and households), net interest income and return on equity, which are observed during a period of ten years.

Standing outside the EU and the EES, Switzerland is a unique state characterized by federalism, direct democracy and neutrality. Though always focused on preserving these features and its sovereignty, Switzerland has managed to gain access to some sectors of the single market through bilateral agreements with the EU. The purpose of this thesis is to examine what level of integration Switzerland has reached in those bilaterally regulated sectors of the single market. As integration cannot easily be assessed, the extent of the Swiss adoption of the acquis is seen as an indicator of the level of integration and is thus examined. The conclusion is that Switzerland, mostly due to the economic interest of common rules, but partly due to pressure from the EU, almost completely adopts the acquis in the bilaterally regulated sectors, including the interpretation of the ECJ.

Sweden experienced a decline in exports of 16 percent in the period after the financial crisis. The decline has created a lot of question marks regarding the traditional exports which has started a process with the aim of finding Sweden?s next cash cow in export.Sweden adopted stringent environmental laws early which positioned them as a strong nation in environmental awareness. The stringent environmental legislation meant that the Swedish companies were required to minimize the environmental impact, which created a demand for eco-efficient products. Despite the early demand for eco-efficient products, the international success of the Swedish cleantech companies has been Modest.The government can increase firms international competitiveness by encouraging, supporting and promoting activities on the domestic market.

Min uppsats är en textanalytisk studie som undersöker och värderar de anspråk på det estetiska som formulerats i skolans styrdokument under 1990-talets senare hälft och i dokument som formulerats av aktörer på fältet Kultur i skolan vid millennieskiftet. Studiens huvudsyfte är att ta fram och pröva begrepp med vars hjälp man kan undersöka och kvalificera en lärarledd estetisk praktik i förskola, skola eller lärarutbildning. Jag använder mig av Bourdieus fältbegrepp. Det är min hypotes att man kan börja tala om Kultur i skolan som ett fält under 90-talet. De två aktörer på fältet som jag särskilt fokuserar är Statens Kulturråd och Skolverket/Myndigheten för Skolutveckling i deras gemensamma uppdrag Kultur för lust och lärande.

This essay revolves around partnerships established between local authorities and civil society to promote integration in segregated urban areas. The main focus is on who is active in formulating the local integration policy in these partnerships. The analysis is based on qualitative interviews with representatives from the local public administration and from different parts of civil society in Rosengård and Södra innerstaden in Malmö. The conclusion is that local authorities to a large extent decide the content of integration policy. The authorities, in having the major responsibility of the integration projects, decide what parts of civil society to involve and what projects will promote integration.

Syftet med arbetet var att, undersöka om man genom talövningar kan utveckla elevens kunskaper och trygghet inför att tala för en större grupp. Undersökningen genomfördes på en gymnasieskola i Luleå, och omfattade 57 elever. Jag inledde och avslutade min undersökning med en och samma enkätundersökning för att kunna mäta en eventuell förändring i inställningen och upplevelsen av att tala. Som komplement till enkäten intervjuade jag ett antal slumpmässigt utvalda elever. Det konkreta arbetet bestod av ett antal talövningar av varierad svårighetsgrad.

The media plays a key role in constructing identities and categories, as its messages influence the way we understand the world. In the debate on integration issues, categories such as ?Swede? and ?immigrant? are often treated as obvious and unproblematic. ?Swedish?, being the norm, is seldom defined   and   frequently appears   with   subtlety.   This   paper   set   out   to   study   what   characterizes Swedishness in newspaper articles on integration issues, and how it is represented in relations to immigrants.

AbstractThe political parties in Sweden are losing members. This is seen as a problem because the political parties are the base and the recruiting ground for members to decision-making bodies. Social movements are seen as a place where people with a Modest background could express their opinions and also learn the political process. These movements have also lost members during the last decades and this could seriously affect the representation of lower social groups among the decision-makers. This essay emanates from Robert D.

The aim of this thesis is to study whether social welfare secretaries experience occupational pride and what affects this feeling. Previously made research indicate that occupational pride is essential for performance and work-related health. Research has also shown that social welfare secretaries often experience unhealthiness due to working conditions and a lack of professional self-esteem.This thesis is based on four qualitative interviews which have focused especially on critical incidents, according to the critical incident technique. This study has a hermeneutic, interpretative approach. As a theoretical framework, Pierre Bourdieu? s theory on social space and positions aswell as Aaron Antonovsky´s theory on Sence of coherence have been used. The result shows that the interviewed social welfare secretaries do experience occupational pride.

Elcertifikatsystemet infördes 2003 för att främja elproduktion från förnybara energikällor. Producenter av förnybar el tilldelas ett elcertifikat för varje producerad MWh och elleverantörer måste köpa in elcertifikat motsvarande en viss kvot av deras elförsäljning, vilket skapar en marknad för elcertifikat. Systemet har lett till att den förnybara elproduktionen från kraftvärme ökat, dels genom förändrad drift samt ökad andel förnybara bränslen i befintliga anläggningar och dels genom investeringar i nya anläggningar.2007 infördes en lagändring som tidsbegränsar tilldelningen av elcertifikat till en anläggning till maximalt 15 år. De kraftvärmeanläggningar som erhållit stöd sedan systemets införande kommer inte längre tilldelas elcertifikat efter 2012 eller 2014. Detta har lett till att flera kraftvärmeproducenter hävdar att de kommer att investera i nya anläggningar med huvudsaklig motivering att erhålla nya elcertifikat, snarare än att förbättra prestanda.

The aim of this essay was to investigate what images are conveyed through Swedish daily press and to discuss the possible consequences of these images for librarians and users of the library. What discourses can be identified in the material; how are librarians and their profession described in the press; what attitude can be detected towards librarians and in what contexts are librarians discussed, are questions that were asked. Discourse analysis was used as theory and method. A discourse can be understood as a certain way of talking about and understanding the world. 55 articles from the period of January 1^st 2002 to March 7^th 2003 were analysed with the help of a model.

Syftet med vårt examensarbete har varit att undersöka hur musik och drama integreras i svenskundervisningen, inriktat mot de tidigare skolåren. Vi som gjort arbetet har läst olika program i vår respektive utbildning där den ena av oss läst Svenska i ett mångkulturellt samhälle vilken varit mer teoretiskt inriktad medan den andra läst kultur, media och estetiska uttrycksformer som haft en mer praktisk inriktning. På detta sätt har vi upplevt undervisningen olika baserat på den utbildning vi fått i vårt respektive program. Detta har medfört att vi försökt att komplettera varandras sätt att uppfatta och utveckla undervisningen så att det blir en bra, rolig och utvecklande mix av teori och praktik. Utgångspunkt i vår studie har varit styr- och måldokument för grundskolan och svenskämnet och som stomme för den teoretiska delen har vi främst använt oss av begreppen radikal och Modest estetik, samt funktionaliserat och formaliserat lärande.
