Podcasten är i Sverige ett nytt medium. Denna kanal särskiljer sig från andra mer etablerade medier i det avseende att korta relationer vanligtvis uppstår mellan podcasts och sponsorer. Det som är uppseendeväckande med detta är att teorier gällande relationsutbyten förespråkar långsiktiga relationer. Attribut som är av betydelse för relationsutbytets utveckling är: relationens längd, förtroende, ömsesidigt beroende, normer, och anpassning. Intressant blir således att undersöka hur detta kan komma sig.

Studiens syfte är att undersöka kunders attityder till kundklubbar och dess effekter i den lojalitetsbaserade relationen med företaget. Uppsatsen innefattar även att undersöka ett antal utvalda företags syn på lojalitetsprogram och kundklubbar. Studien innehåller en kvalitativ metod, där djupintervjuer har genomförts med 24 kundklubbsmedlemmar och två företagsrepresentanter. Dessa intervjuer har fångat attityder och beteenden och ligger till grund för vår bedömning av kundklubbars potential att skapa relationer och lojalite. Vi har kommit fram till att kundklubbar har en påverkan på medlemmarnas köpbeteende eftersom de föredrar att i första hand besöka medlemsbutikerna.

This essay explores how artwork in the public space can be analysed, conceptualized and described by bringing attention to site. Through an analysis of artworks in the yearly art exhibition of Fittja Open 2011, the essay draws attention to site-specific art and structures of power. The principal aim is to present not only the exhibition of Fittja Open 2011 but also other artwork in the public sphere in Fittja, a suburb to Stockholm. From this point of departure other interests evolve that concerns the "image" of Fittja.

The aim of this study has been to, through a couple of chosen theories, examine in what way and for what purposes Japan has used its international aid system, How can the nation have been said to have implemented and acted in lines with the philosophies and principles set forth in the ODA declaration. What approaches, concerning positive and negative aid sanctions in the matters of aid to Cambodia and Burma, have been chosen and what have the motives for these choices been. What have been the determining factors of the outcome related to these sanctions - economic, political and/or matters of identity? I have found that a concern for possible decrease in economic profit and investment related areas, combined with a feared loss of political prestige and worsened diplomatic relations to the neighbouring countries in the Asian society, have come to overtrump the notion of advocating democracy, human rights, environmental and anti-militaristic issues..

There is an ongoing discussion in Sweden to regulate lobbying, both in mass media and in politics.

It also attempts to identify the differences, if there are any, between left and rights parties with regards to their views on regulation of lobbying.Tha main method used was document analysis of parliamentary bills which have been raised concerning a lobbying regulation in Sweden. In the theory section, I include four different types of requirements placed on democratic lobbying (se for example Jaatinen 1998, Kitchen 1999, Larsson 2005, Möller 2009 and Naurin 2001).

Med avstamp i teorier från George Herbert Mead, Charles Horton Cooley och Thomas J. Scheff kommer vi i denna uppsats fokusera kring frågan, vilken betydelse har läraren för utvecklingen av elevens självkänsla?Med utgångspunkt i dessa teorier och vissa centrala begrepp såsom spegeljag, sociala band och ME och I kommer vi att fördjupa oss i den verklighet där eleven möter sin lärare, hur detta möte påverkar elevens personliga utvecklig mot en identitet samt hur relationen påverkar elevens utvecklig mot ett själv och deras självkänsla.  Eftersom ungdomar tillbringar mest tid i skolmiljön och där lärare är de vuxna, vill vi undersöka om relationen med lärare påverkar ungdomar när det kommer till personlig utveckling, självkänsla och identitet.Nyckelord: självkänsla, personlig utveckling, skola, relationer.
