The concept of the work-first principle (arbetslinjen) might be considered old, but still serves as the main principle as well as an instrument in the Swedish labour market and social policy today. The original idea was that work and willingness to work was to be rewarded, especially due to a common opposition against the passive receipt of grants. The general definition of work, today, is that it is something desirable that should be achieved and that unemployed primarily will be offered training or work rather than grants and subsidies. When the Moderate party re-launched themselves as Sweden's "workers' party of today", in the beginning of the 2000's, the concept was brought back into the spotlight. In the elections of 2006 and 2010, the labour market was widely debated and become a controversial issue, with the concept of the work-first principle playing a major role.The purpose of this thesis is to analyse and problematize how the concept was presented and explained in the nationwide Newspapers Aftonbladet and Svenska Dagbladet during the 2010 elections, this in order to increase the understanding of the concept?s contemporary definition and policy implications.

The writing style of a particular author can be divided into many subfeatures, for example use of words, language and syntax. Focusing on the latter, this study aims to show how well syntactic information alone can attribute the correct author to a document. Syntactic information is defined as overlapping syntactic subtrees of height one (1) for all sentences of all included documents. The performance is compared to that of the previously very successful method of comparing stop word frequencies. These are words normally excluded from search engine queries, because they are present in all sorts of texts regardless of topic.

TitelDagstidningen på 3,5 tum? - en nutids- och framtidsstudie av svensk dagspress förhållande till mobila tjänsterFörfattareMagnus Ekström & Björn GranstrandKurs LME310/MK1500 - Examensarbete i Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskapTermin HT-08Syfte Att undersöka de svenska dagstidningarnas satsning på mobila tjänster i nutid och framtid.Metod och materialEn kvantitativ enkätundersökning till ansvariga utgivare på samtliga svenska dagstidningar medutgivning minst 3 dagar/veckaHuvudresultatDrygt 40 procent av ansvariga utgivare anser sig ha mobila tjänster och 69 procent totalt anser sig ha det inom 2 år. De vanligaste tjänsterna är tjänster som baseras på mobiltelefonens SMS-funktion.Tjänsten att publiken kan skicka in nyhetstips och nyhetsbilder via SMS/MMS erbjuds av drygt 80 procent av dagstidningarna vilket är betydligt mer än de 40procent som från början ansåg sig ha någon mobil tjänst. Övriga vanliga tjänser är nyhetsprenumeration där dagstidningen skickar ut nyheter till läsaren via SMS. Resultatet visar också att relativt nya tjänster som taggtjänster och lokationsbaserade tjänster inte har någon spridning idag.

Most swedish Newspapers have a homepage where their News are presented. Existing guidelines describing how to write for the web often recommends you to keep it short and stay objective. But how about longer pieces of content presented in the print version? What will become of reports, interviews and essays as we?ve come to know them as the printed Newspaper goes digital?Interviews with representatives of five swedish Newspapers shows that the extent to wich content is being published on the web is connected to the overall purpose of the web presence. The fact that many Newspapers does not publish longer pieces of text on the web rather seems to be an economic issue, than a matter of good readability.Past studies shows that longer pieces of text may well work on the web, if the reader?s interest is big enough.

The idea to this bachelor thesis was born after carefully following the coverage of Johan Persson and Martin Schibbye in Swedish media during their imprisonment in Ethiopia from June 2011 to September 2012. Based on our interest we designed two questions to answer throughout the thesis. These are:(1) How are Johan Persson and Martin Schibbye portrayed as journalists in the discussion about them that has taken place in Swedish media?(2) How is the journalistic profession described in the discussion about Johan Persson and Martin Schibbye in Swedish media? To answer these questions we decided to analyse texts that can be defined as the genre of opinion journalism, which all came from Swedish printed media. We have chosen 16 texts to analyse which show the variety of ways to write about Persson and Schibbye in the chosen genre during the chosen period of time. Opinion journalism is what Newspapers use to attract readers, as they want to supplement the News coverage with comments and analysis from ?experts?. Persson and Schibbye were imprisoned in Ethiopia in June of 2011, and weren?t released until 15 months later, in September of 2012. To analyse our material we have amongst others used theories regarding social constructionism, representation, discourse, the journalistic identity and the journalistic ideals that exist in Swedish society.

Cover Story is a project, which students at Lillholms - and Ekholms School worked in during spring and fall of 2009. Several school subjects were integrated in project; social studies, art and Swedish, to empower the students to create, implement and design a magazine. The purpose of the project was to give the students the opportunity to fantasize about the future and their dreams by creating their very own Cover Story. During the project I realized that the student?s selection of magazine genre had a direct relation to the gender of the students themselves.

Tjänsteföretag är, i större mån än företag som endast ägnar sig åt försäljning av produkter, beroende av att kundens upplevelse i tjänstemötet blir så bra som möjligt. En tjänst kännetecknas av olika karakteristika som inte gäller för produkter. Exempel på sådana är att en tjänst till högre grad är immateriell, en tjänst går inte att lagra, den är mer heterogen och är ofta svårare för kunden att utvärdera.Det är därför viktigt för ett företag med inriktning mot tjänster att ta hänsyn till dessa aspekter av en tjänst när de utformar den fysiska miljön, inom vilken tjänsten produceras och konsumeras. Denna fysiska miljö kallas för servicescape, ett begrepp som myntats av Mary Jo Bitner. Vad vi har gjort i den här studien är att undersöka hur lunchrestauranger arbetar med servicescape och hur medvetna de är om dess påverkan på kundens upplevelse.Vår frågeställning under studien har varit:Hur arbetar lunchrestauranger med servicescape i syfte att öka kundens upplevda kvalitet?Syftet med studien har varit att skapa en förståelse för hur lunchrestauranger arbetar med servicescape och hur de tänker när de utformar tjänsteutförandet.

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att belysa hur individer med funktionsnedsättning skapar sin förmågodeprivation, ?capability deprivation?, i relation till de möjligheter till utveckling som framkallas av strukturella och personliga faktorer. Förmågodeprivation innebär att människan upplever brist på friheter och rättigheter för att använda sina förmågor till att nå sina personliga mål. Dessa mål kan vara av ekonomisk, social och kulturell karaktär och kan betyda en utveckling hos individen som denne värderar högt. När förmågodeprivation uppstår likställs den med fattigdom.

The history of rhetorics in documentary film is a long one. The French brothers Louise and Auguste Lumiére were among the first persons who produced a documentary and their work has had a big impression in the history of documentary during the 1900 century. John Grierson has been called ?the father? of documentary film. He produced films in the English speaking part of the world and he is the founder of the concept ?documentary film?.

During 2009-2010 Sweden participated in an international military operation whose intention, according to the Swedish News media, was to fight Somali pirates. The purpose of this thesis is to study various decisions and documents behind the Swedish efforts, both military and foreign aid, regarding the matter of Somali pirates during the years 2009-2010 and analyze the results using an interpretation of the security-development-nexus-theory. The method used is text analysis based on the hermeneutic idea of understanding and interpretation.The thesis studies the international resolutions and national decisions that lead to the military operations in the Gulf of Aden and also the international strategies and national approaches regarding Sweden's assistance in the development of Somalia. The theoretical section contains an interpretation of the vast security-development-nexus-theory. The concepts of security and development are first presented separately and then collectively in terms of military security, societal security, economic security, regime security and human security.

The starting point of this study is that the News media in general strongly influence which topics determine the public agenda by their choice of what is considered Newsworthy. The study is based on articles from two major Swedish daily Newspapers, Svenska Dagbladet and Dagens Nyheter. The aim of our thesis is to establish how the environmental public debate as portrayed in the Newspaper corresponds to the environmental discussion within the scientific (subject matter expert) field, that is taught by the academic institutions, or if the two materially differ. The environmental communication discourse at the academic institutions advocates ?episodic? formation as the driving force behind transformation of attitudes and behavioral preconceptions. This episodic formation is aimed at incentivizing change by creating intimacy to the incident by linking cause and consequence to the individual citizen instead of to society as a whole.

This paper considers the roles of critics, Newspapers and magazines, in the process ofdescribing computer games and video games as either technical objects or products intendedfor entertainment.The making and ?using? of computer games and videogames originates in small groups ofpeople possessing a lot of knowledge in computers, during a time when these kinds of deviceswere very expensive. But now, the gaming culture has grown and almost anyone in oursociety can own and play a video game. For that reason, one could ask the questions ?are thegames and the people who plays them still parts of a ?technical culture??? and ?do we needsome kind of prior knowledge to fully understand the videogame critics??The critics represent ?the official idea? of what a videogame is, how it works and if it is worthplaying.
