At the same time libraries seems eager to use this medium to reach out to the youth to inform and to educate. But do we know enough about how these two groups? views each other to be effective at this work? And is it even something that is wanted? What?s the image of social media from their point of view?The goal of this study is to investigate the image of social media from the point of view of two groups, librarians and youth.

In recent years, the characterization of the Third World and its inhabitants in West-originated children?s books has been subject to debate. Media attention around a selection of books has generated discussions on how this relates and aligns with Sweden?s national teaching curriculum. The objective of this study is to explore how a selection of authors, born in Western countries, have characterized and presented the Third World and its inhabitants in its literature.

Studien tar avstamp i den diskussion som förts kring nyhetssajternas kommentarsfält. Diskussionen kulminerade under sommaren 2011 då flera nyhetssajter ändrade sina förhållningsregler och vissa fall även de tekniska lösningar som användes. Denna studie ämnade undersöka om valet av kommentars-teknik påverkar användares vilja till kommunikation på nyhetssajter, men även att belysa eventuella bakomliggande faktorer till detta. Detta har genomförts genom en kvalitativ observations- och intervju-studie. Resultatetav studien påvisar att kommunikationen påverkas av valet av teknisk lösning, och att bristen av kontroll är en av de avgörande faktorerna bakom huruvida en användare är villig att kommentera en artikel..

In the 2011th Swedish football league three games were suspended because ofbangers that exploded on the terraces. The first suspended match was played by Syrianska and AIK. We have performed an image analysis of two of Sweden?s biggest newspapers, Aftonbladet and Dagens Nyheter, to see how they reported fromthat incident. The reports from the first incident are important because the mediareporting from the first incident might have determined the attitude of the press and the Swedish football association (SvFF) towards the supporters for the remainder of the season.

Bakgrund: Idag satsar distributörerna i detaljhandeln på differentiering genom att lansera egna märkesvaror till flera olika segment och till högre priser. Detta brukar kallas den fjärde generationens EMV och det är ett relativt nytt koncept i Sverige i jämförelse med andra länder. Detaljhandelskedjan Axfood är en aktör som har inlett en utökning genom lanseringen av Garant som vi anser vara en EMV av fjärde generationen.Problem: Leverantörernas varumärken har under lång tid ansetts vara ?riktiga? märken medan distributörernas egna märkesvaror endast är för priskänsliga konsumenter. Tidigare studier visar att konsumenter är villiga att betala ett högre pris för LMV pga.

This bachelor thesis brings up a discussion about museums availability and access to thearchaeological display objects towards blind and visually impaired visitors. The study phasewill take start in analyzing four museums in south Sweden, all which have exhibitions aboutthe prehistory.Visually impaired and blind visitors don?t have a lot to go on at the current exhibitions aboutprehistory. This is because of the lack of access and availability when it comes to their specialneed. To raise awareness to this problem I took out a survey for the museums to answer.

This thesis revolves around an obvious fact: printed (or otherwise two- or three-dimensional) poetry is always and inevitably visual. By analysing a representative selection of poems, including conspicuously experimental and image-like poems as well as examples of more conventional poetry, the thesis points out that visual iconicity is an equally inevitable consequence of the visuality of printed poetry. The analysis applies terminology relating to iconicity and intermediality (presented by Lars Elleström, whose theoretical basis is the semiotics of Charles Sanders Peirce) to the selected poems, while avoiding making too specific interpretations, in order to maintain a discussion of the ever-present phenomenon of visual iconicity as such, and not just the individual examples.Rather than introducing visual iconicity specifically to confirm more or less specific interpretations of poetic texts, this method of approaching poems as two-dimensional works of art is what this paper mainly aims to propose, as a productive starting point for literary analyses in general; as is concluded in the theoretical framework by Elleström, the actual modal and iconic properties of printed poetry contradict mutually exclusive dichotomies such as verbal/visual and text/image. While indirectly visually iconic poems tend to have a wider range of possible interpretations at the outset, the existence of iconic potential, however, does not depend on any specific interpretation..

In this essay I consider a self-experienced dilemma, and review how I, as a preschool teacher, treat a child with special needs. With the support of literature and theory, I can, with an essay writing approach, reflect and analyze the dilemma. In this way I will examine my practical knowledge and personal experiences of a complex situation. I want to examine whether children with special needs who are included in regular preschool activities, really get the support they need and deserve. Do educators have the conditions and does preschool have sufficient resources to realize this? Do educators have sufficient knowledge of how children with special needs should be responded to? I want to find out how the included children's social development and self-image is shaped by the treatment they receive at the preschool.

Ett sätt för företag att utnyttja existerande varumärken är att utveckla sitt befintliga produktsortiment med hjälp av dessa, en så kallad varumärkesutvidgning. Teorin tar upp diverse risker med varumärkesutvidgningar och hur dessa kan påverka konsumenternas syn på huvudvarumärkets image. Syftet med denna uppsats är att analysera hur en horisontell varumärkesutvidgning påverkar imagen på kapitalintensiva varor som innehar en stark varumärkesimage. Som kapitalintensiva varor har vi valt att undersöka bilar då det är en vara som på ett mycket bra sätt förespråkar den gruppen då en hög finansiell risk måste tas i samband med förvärv. De varumärken som undersöks är BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Volkswagen, Toyota och Volvo, som alla är bilmärken med stark varumärkesimage.

Wikileaks is using the new technical solutions to mount big leaks, consisting of secret or sensitive information from the government, institutions and business. This might profoundly change the media reality and it certainly means both new opportunities and new challenges for traditional media; the conditions for the journalists, the sources and the news reporting are changing. In this thesis the relationship between Swedish journalists and Wikileaks has been the focus; they both affect each other but the conditions for this relationship is not yet clear. Clearly there is an interdependence, but who really is dependent on the other and to which degree they are dependent on each other is still a question without a given answer.The aim of this thesis has been to discern a new journalism, and how this responds to the theories of Public Journalism and Journalistik 3.0. The main aim has been to examine what Swedish journalist thinks about Wikileaks, what their attitude towards Wikileaks are,  if and how they think that Wikileaks have affected the Swedish journalism.

Den här C-uppsatsen utforskar möjligheterna att utforma applikationer till interaktiva plattformar som lär barn att lösa abstrakta problem och samtidigt är användbara för lärare i skolmiljö. Uppsatsen presenterar olika teorier och använder sedan det insamlade materialet som utgångspunkt för att testa om och hur dessa teorier kan tillämpas i ett specifikt fall. Resultatet sammanställs i form av en prototyp som testas på en klass förstaårselever i Stockholm..

Föreliggande empiriska, kvalitativa studies syfte är att undersöka begreppet självbild med utgångspunkt i psykodynamisk och interaktionistisk forskning.
