The aim of this study was to shed light on the phenomenon of sex purchase amongst men from the perspective of professionals working at KAST*. Our main research questions concerned who the sex-purchasing men are, what their incentives are and furthermore how the professionals depict their work with these clients. In order to examine this we conducted three qualitative research interviews. The theoretical framework used to examine our results consisted of social constructivism and professional acting space. Main results show, contrary to research, that the ?typical? sex buyer does not exist, nor do specific motives.

Uppsatsen utgår från Märstas historiska bakgrund med fokus på perioden 1950-1970-talet. Mycket i Sverige präglas av miljonprogrammet under 1960-1970-talet och Märsta är ett exempel på detta. Å andra sidan är Märsta ett resultat av 1950-talets planering för en storflygplats vid Halmsjön. Märsta framstod i denna planering som en servicestad i anslutning till flygplatsen.Mitt syfte med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur aktörerna Märsta kommun, Märstadelegationen och regionplanekontoret arbetade med Märsta och använde den generalplan och den vision som utarbetades av Carl-Fredrik Ahlberg, professor i stadsbyggnad och arkitekt. Som geograf och Märstabo ger jag även min bild av Märsta som livsmiljö.

Det här arbetet syftar till att försöka ge en bild av lärarens syn på ämnesintegrering mellan ämnena träslöjd och matematik. Min vision är att slöjdämnet ska kunna integreras mer bland andra skolämnen än det görs i dag..

Syftet med följande rapport är att beskriva erfarenheterna med designen och implementationen av en webbapplikation för e-handel. Arbetet genomfördes som en del av ett kandidatarbete, inom civilingenjörsprogrammet Industriell ekonomi vid Linköpings tekniska högskola, av ett team bestående av åtta studenter.Utgångspunkten för kandidatarbetet, som beskrivs i den här rapporten, var att teamet blev kontrakterat av en fiktiv kund (kursledningen) att skapa en handelsplats för cyklar. Då projektet bedrevs i utbildningssyfte hade kunden vissa krav på hur webbapplikationen skulle skapas både vad gäller slutgiltig funktionalitet och arbetsmetodik. Projektarbetet omfattade 18 högskolepoäng och sträckte sig över fem månader.Ur de specifikationer som kunden gav arbetade teamet fram en vision. Då cykeln är en integrerad del av studentlivet så beslutade teamet att skapa en handelsplats som de själva skulle vilja använda.

The purpose of this essay has been to study the different discourses that are expressed in social welfare secretaries? assertions when they assess cases with elements of honour-related violence, intimidation and oppression. To do so I have used a discourse analysis theory and technique, based on three qualitative interviews with social welfare secretaries. The interviews were focused on vignettes, which were all fictitious cases with various elements of honour-related violence. One of the interviews was a focus groupinterview with four participants, while the other two interviews were individual.

This essay intervenes in the politics of urban segregation in Stockholm. The main aim of the essay is to analyze and describe how advanced marginality and territorial stigmatization are expressed in the lived experiences of four unemployed youths, that have participated in a labor market training program located in the ?social vulnerable? area Rågsved. With a theoretical framework based in Henri Lefebvre?s production of social space the empirical findings are interpreted in regard to how the youths produce social space in dialectical interplay with urban politics, advanced marginality, territorial stigmatization, and their local neighborhood.

Hidden away in the pristine landscape on the northeast shore of the Dominican Republic, the remote village of Miches is on the verge of shifting its economic resource base from traditional fishing into what could become an international model for sustainable tourism. The aim of this thesis was to produce a vision of a waterfront park near the center of the village; demonstrating concept-based landscape design that reflects the goals of sustainable development originating from the local incentive structure. A composite landscape analysis and design concept both served to inform and guide the design work, which was executed through model building, hand drawings, and production of a visual presentation in the format of an architectural competition entry. The design concept, All invited, signifies the distinction between the development that is about to take place in Miches and the otherwise common all-inclusive resorts, where tourists are set apart from the local community and spend most of their time within the fenced-off premises of the hotel. All invited also captures the typical Dominican hospitality, and mirrors the aspirations of turning Miches into a safe and welcoming place for visitors. The result is a public park design that is equally inviting local residents as it is to tourists, and where the unique qualities of the site are emphasized without being exploited.

Examensarbetets syfte är att undersöka hur förskollärarnas visioner och verksamhetens realiteter möts i samband med förskolans lärarledda skapandeverksamhet och vilka hinder som kan uppstå i detta möte. Studien bygger på kvalitativa intervjuer med tre förskollärare från tre olika förskolor, varav en har en uttalad skapandeprofil, samt ostrukturerade observationer av den lärarledda skapandeverksamheten. Empirin har analyserats med hjälp av resultatet från tidigare studier och de tankar som historiskt påverkat utvecklingen av den skapande verksamheten inom förskolan. I materialet har man kunnat finna influenser från den barnpsykologiska forskningen, konstpedagogiken samt den pedagogiska teori och praktik som växt fram i förskoleverksamheten. Störst påverkan på den skapande verksamheten verkar förskolans tudelade ursprung ha, då arvet från de omsorgsinriktade barnkrubborna och de pedagogiskt inriktade barnträdgårdarna ska smälta samman i en fungerande verksamhet.

Filmmusic is often composed specially for a film. When analyzing film-music it seems very common to study the function of the music in a narrative context in order to see how it cooperates or relates to this narration. In the present thesis I am investigating the interaction between film and music as two ingredients on an equal level. In short: what happens when a filmmaker chooses music that has already been composed for another occasion, even in another time and a different cultural context? My aim is twofold: first to examine current film analytic strategies, secondly to find new ways of comprehend pre-composed music in relation to its new setting in a film.

The purpose of this article is to describe the discourse in which public-private partnership (PPP) resides, within the Swedish parliament, in the field of infrastructure. I have chosen to look at the latest three years deliberation where PPP appears in parliament bills.This case study is based upon discourse as a qualitative method. Five indicator signs which is history, comparison, geographic location, vision of growth potential and solution controls the context of PPPThe result of the analysis was that a clear discourse was unravelled. A first rather surprising conclusion shows that it is possible to disconnect the discourse from PPP. PPP is not important by itself, the result shows that it only play the part of possible solution to the problems related to the discourse and does not have any value in its own.This result lead the conclusion that PPP is no more than a tool for politicians to get as much out of their infrastructural aims as possible, as rational vote-maximizing actors.

The aim of this project is to investigate the meeting between the city and the sea and tolook into how that could be developed and made use of. I want to find out how you can increase the availability of a specific place and make it more welcoming, I also want to bring life to an already existing space and create a central meeting place in the city. The purpose is to give form to an esplanade along a dock in the central parts of Kalmar. Starting with an analysis of this public place, I want to create a concept that is close to the existing context and communicates the contrasts or associations between for example: city and nature, artificial and natural and indoor and outdoor. The primary object of the project is to add a welcoming, public place to the city where you on an accessible way canfamiliarize yourself with the meeting between the city and the sea.

This bachelor?s degree thesis was conducted in mechanical engineering at Halmstad University during spring semester 2010 in close collaboration with the company Gremo AB, located in Ätran, Sweden. Gremo AB produces, developes and sales forest machines in both Sweden and on the international market.Gremo AB belongs to one of the market leaders in forest industry, especially with their forwarder. In order to become a market leader even with their harvester, the company decided to change the harvester to have a swivel and a leveling driver cabin.The aim with this bachelor?s degree thesis was to develop a design concept for the harvester driver cabin, which Gremo AB can apply on the new harvester.

Preschool is an important social arena for children. This might be the first time that children find themselves in a larger social context and create their first peer-relations. The aim of this study was to examine children?s peer-relations with particular focus on the acts of social exclusion and inclusion, and how children use different strategies to exclude and include each other. Another aim was to investigate how both verbal and non-verbal communication is used in these processes.This study has an ethnographic approach, and the use of video observation as a method enabled us to capture the children?s everyday interactions at preschool.Our results show that children use a number of different strategies to exclude other children that seek access to an ongoing activity to protect the interactional space that they already share.
