Abstract Title: The Social Democrats and Monarchy, a Study of three Social Democratic newspapers and their reports about Oscar II?s 25 year anniversary as king of Sweden. The Social Democrats in Sweden has almost had a power monopoly over the parliament and government during the entire 20:th century. Since the party was established in 1889 they have been against monarchy as a way of govern society. When the monarch lost political power and influence during the 20:th century, they still condemned monarchy as undemocratic. They preferred to have a republic instead, with an elected president, rather than a king or a queen.

I denna uppsats har jag undersökt tre utställningar. En på Dunkers kulturhus i Helsingborg samt två på Nationalmuseum i Stockholm. Den gemenamma nämnaren för dessa utställningar är att de behandlar släkten Bernadotte, Sveriges nuvarande kungafamilj. Syftet har varit att undersöka vad Dunkers och Nationalmuseum signalerar med respektive utställning. Jag har också undersökt om avsikten med utställningen stämmer överens med vad den signalerar..

Detta är en undersökning av Sveriges statsbesöks effekt på Sveriges export. För att mäta effekten använder jag mig av en empirisk modell, den så kallade handelsgravitationsmodellen. Jag finner att det är svårt att hitta starka och statistiskt signifikanta bevis på att Sveriges statsbesök har en positiv effekt på exporten. När man isolerar för statsbesök i Europa utanför Norden finner jag till och med tecken på att de kan ha en negativ effekt. Jag har även jämfört effekten av Sveriges statsbesök med effekten av Storbritanniens och funnit att Sverige har en generellt lägre effekt än Storbritannien, oavsett vilken modell som används..

Although Sweden has democracy implemented in its Constitution, because of being a monarchy, it has a non-elected Head of State. The purpose of this thesis is on the one hand to show if it is possible to normatively legitimate the Swedish monarchy and on the other hand to display if and how the three biggest Swedish newspapers Aftonbladet, Dagens Nyheter and Expressen justify monarchy by making a content-oriented analysis of their coverage of King Carl XVI Gustaf's political statement during his state visit in Brunei 2004.By using consequentialism and deontology as perspectives I will show that it overall is not possible to normatively justify the Swedish monarchy compared to a Swedish republic with an elected Head of State. This is mainly because democracy is implemented in the Swedish Constitution. In all three newspapers there is only little debate on the Constitution. Most commonly journalists criticize the King's statement but not monarchy as an institution.

Christendom has under a long period of time in Swedish history been the central component in legitimating the monarchs' power, a continuous process than can be clearly observed through the customs of royal coronation and baptism rites. However, during the 20th century those close ties between the state and the church of Sweden have been dissolving at a steady rate, alongside a growing societal democratization and modernization process. Officially the monarch still had a clear constitutional power legitimated through the transcendent, but unofficially his power was in reality heavily reduced. How do the Swedish monarchy relate to a rapidly changing society and secularization process? This pilot study investigates this relation by analyzing the news reports of the royal coronation and baptism rites between 1858 and 2012 from two leading newspapers, Aftonbladet and Dagens Nyheter.

The purpose of this essay is to examinate the statements and verbal attributions of King CarlXVI Gustaf of Sweden in the early 2000?s. More exactly I?ve got two question formulations:Which statements does king Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden make during the early 2000?s and are thesestatements, in line with the king?s attributions, non-political, party-politically neutral and noncontroversialaccording to different perspectives? Question number two is if there are to find anyboundaries for where the verbal attributions of Carl XVI Gustaf seem to go when he expresses himself inthe role as the king of Sweden and the chief of state in the early 2000?s. My procedure is to read theChristmas speeches of Carl XVI Gustaf during the 2000?s and use former beheld statements of Carl XVIGustaf to seek answers to the research questions.

When we define something as real it will also have real consequences. Media society is developing rapidly; the media?s more central role in our society means that their interpretations and portrayals of the world will have a greater impact on how we look at ourselves and our society.When Swedish Princess Estelle was born in February 2012 she was the first Swedish heir to be been born in what is known as ?the computer age?. This paper aims to examine the reporting of the birth of Princess Estelle and how it was conducted by Swedish news sites, from an ideological perspective. The study is based on qualitative method with ideational analysis and Norman Fairclough?s critical discourse analysis.In conclusion, the news sites portray a positive image of Princess Estelle?s birth and the Swedish monarchy and strengthen the status of the Crown Princess family.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att utvidga förståelsen för kvalitetssäkrings-systemet Mystery Shopping. Det görs genom att studera hur de anställda i en serviceverksamhet, på sin arbetsplats, uppfattar systemet. Avsikten är vidare att utifrån detta ta reda på vad som kan ha påverkat denna uppfattning. Metod:Då Mystery Shopping är ett vanligt förekommande kvalitetssäkringssystem ville vi studera hur de anställda uppfattar kontrollen. Uppsatsen består av en explorativ studie där vi med hjälp av tre kvalitativa intervjuer skapar en förförståelse till kvalitetssäkringssystemet.

This report discusses the IT archetypes "governance strategy" and how it could be linked to the IT benefits at the company. The study is based on IT investments that have taken place in ten banks operating in Sweden today, where the reality was modeled on the basis of a questionnaire survey and an additional interview. The aim was to examine whether it is possible to find any correlation between the governance in the banks and obtained benefits for an IT investments.While the competition is intensifying in most companies there is a greater demand for efficiency in IT. The need for IT solutions is greater than ever and the number of IT investments is increasing significantly in most workplaces today, especially on banks. But even if the investments are increasing in numbers it does not necessarily mean that all types of investments are effective and beneficial to the company.

Denna uppsats beskriver hur Expressen, Aftonbladet, Dagens Nyheter och Svenska Dagbladet bevakar det svenska kungahuset under tre strategiskt valda perioder. Syftet är att ge en ökad förståelse för hur rapporteringen om kungahuset ser ut på nyhetsplats vid skandal likt lanseringen av bokenDen motvillige monarken av Thomas Sjöberg med flera, samt vid en glädjande nyhet likt födseln av prinsessan Estelle. För att ge en bild av hur den mer alldagliga bevakningen ser ut undersöks även en slumpmässigt vald vecka.För att besvara syftet utgår undersökningen från tre frågeställningar rörande undersökta artiklars källor, tidningarnas nyhetsvärdering och hovets mediestrategier. I undersökningen har en kvantitativ och en kvalitativ metod använts. Som teoretisk utgångspunkt har teorin om agenda setting samt medieforskaren Kristina Widestedts forskning om hovjournalistik legat till grund.Studiens resultat visar på en obalans i bevakningen av kungahuset.
