There is an ongoing discussion amongst Swedish politicians about how the Swedish police will be able to handle increased organised criminality represented in the growing threats of terrorism. In May 2006 representatives from the seven parties of the Swedish parliament debated the question whether the Swedish security service and Swedish police should be permitted to use increased surveillance with the purpose of preventing severe criminality.The question of increased surveillance is a matter often connected to matters of personal privacy. The aim of this master?s thesis is to study which arguments are being used for and against the proposed law that would permit surveillance with the purpose of preventing crime, as well as examine members of Parliaments view on privacy.The methodology used in this thesis is both argumentation analysis and rhetoric analysis. These two tools are used to examine the minutes from a parliamentary debate about the bill mentioned earlier.

This study focuses on the Nordic model of Extended Collective Licenses (ECL) and how this model can be used in the process of digitalising and publishing archival material such as photos, letters, maps or films. The question that this study aims to deal with is what advantages, and disadvantages, there are for archives and copyright holders when an ECL is being used. To help answering this question the ?theory of the knowledge commons? has been applied. The research question has been answered through a text analysis based on legal texts including Swedish law.

Since Sweden can be considered to be a secular society it is interesting to investigate how different actors experience swimming education in the course syllabus of sports and health education, for practicing Muslim girls in middle and high schools. The investigation is based on qualitative interviews with sports teachers, practicing Muslim girls and the staff of the public swimming center in Växjö. The result shows that swimming education can be somewhat problematic, since the Muslim girls only want to attend lessons that are gender separated. In the public swimming center, there are no pools exclusively intended for women, and there are only a few times available for women every week. However, the teachers stress opportunities instead of obstacles, and the students? experience that their teachers are trying to create possibilities for them to have a gender separated swimming education.

Syftet med denna C-uppsats är att beskriva den redaktionella bloggens format med hjälp av tre huvudfrågor. Fråga ett rör innehåll och ämne i redaktionellt anknutna bloggar, fråga två hur dagstidningar förhåller sig till bloggformatet som en del av utbudet på den egna webbsidan och fråga tre hur bloggen används av och påverkar den journalistiska yrkesrollen.För att besvara fråga ett och tre har jag utfört en kvantitativ innehållsanalys av totalt 30 blogginlägg från tio redaktionellt anknutna bloggar. För att besvara fråga två har jag gått igenom 60 dagstidningars webbsidor och antecknat deras förhållningssätt till bloggar som en del av utbudet.Min undersökning visar att bloggen är en ny typ av genre med outnyttjad potential inom den traditionella journalistiken. Ämnesvalen i blogginläggen rör nöje, sport, spel och ledare. Ett normaliserande av bloggen går att se med exempel där enskilda bloggförfattare håller kvar vid ett traditionellt refererande i skildrandet samt medieföretagens förhållningssätt till bloggen som en del av utbudet på webbsidan.

Den övergripande frågeställningen för uppsatsen är: Vad innebär det ur ett demokratiperspektiv när en abonnerad morgontidning väljer att ge ut en gratistidning för att nå lågresursgrupperna i samhället??. Bakgrunden till frågan är att Helsingborgs dagblad valt att ge ut gratistidningen Xtra Helsingborg för att nå ut i de områden där tidningen har få läsare. Gemensamt för dessa stadsdelar är att de tillhör de fattigaste i Helsingborg och att en större andel av invånarna har utländsk bakgrund än i övriga Helsingborg.Genom att göra en innehållsanalys av Helsingborgs Dagblad och gratistidningen Xtra har jag undersökt vilka innehållsmässiga skillnader det finns mellan tidningarna. Jag har också intervjuat Helsingborgs Dagblads VD Lars Svensson, Xtras chefredaktör Kersti Forsberg och nyhetschefen på HD City Anders Håkansson för att ta reda på vilka tankar man har om skillnader i målgrupp och konkurrensen mellan tidningarna.Innehållsmässigt har Xtra ett större fokus på Nöje, Sport och Opinionsmaterial än HD och bristen på lokal samhällsinformation i Xtra kan skapa stora kunskapsklyftor mellan dem som läser HD och dem som läser Xtra.

The purpose of this paper is to examine how the two Swedish cross-country skiers, Charlotte Kalla and Marcus Hellner are portrayed in the tabloids Aftonbladet and Expressen. The study is based on theories of sports journalism, media- and gender studies. Within these theories there are beliefs that men and women are portrayed differently in sports journalism. Sports journalism is described as a subject where there is a hierarchy in which the man is often framed as dominant in relationship to the woman.This study was made in an attempt to examine whether this was the case in the Swedish tabloid magazines Aftonbladet and Expressens coverage of the winter Olympics. Articles published about Charlotte Kalla and Marcus Hellner in the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, and the Olympic Games in Sochi in 2014 were analyzed by a quantitative content analysis.

Words like pirates and anti-pirates are becoming common features in the cultural political debate of today, and the file-sharing phenomenon has become a more and more delicate and disputed subject. The fact that people are organizing in networks to swap computerfiles with each other has, among other things, led film and music companies from all over the world to initiate a number of anti-piracy organizations, assigned to protect the right to culture and information. The industrial organization Antipiratbyrån (the Anti-pirate Bureau) and the network Piratbyrån (the Pirate Bureau) have on several occasions been used to represent the prevailing conflict in Sweden. The purpose of this study is to apply a sociological perspective to the collective act of file sharing. Additionally, the purpose is to argue that the activity can be understood as a social movement, although it is rarely referred to as such.

In 2009, the Swedish Basketball Federation started a Region U15 development project in order to change the structure of the regional organization to get into a more transparent and similar operations throughout the country. My purpose is to study the attitudes to the change among the region leaders in the regional operations and evaluate the change from an organizational perspective.

To analyze the results of the region leaders ?responses, a transcription have been made.

AimThe purpose of this study has been to examine attitudes towards dance in a broad sense, among Swedish schoolchildren. The study has been done with three different questions in mind: What do pupils think and express about dance? Are there any differences in attitude towards dance between girls and boys? And how do the pupils relate to gender conceptions in connection to dance illustrations?MethodEight pupils 12 ? 14 years of age have been interviewed separately during physical education lessons. During parts of the interviews dance illustrations were used in order to encourage the pupils in their discussions, especially when asked to relate to dance and gender conceptions. The statements have been interpreted from a gender theoretical perspective.ResultsMy interview study shows that male pupils to a larger extent than female pupils inhabit hostile feelings towards dance as part of physical education lessons.
