På senare tid har det blivit alltmer vanligt för företag att agera i nätverk. Ett motiv till att samarbeta är att företag behöver resurser. Detta är speciellt påtagligt för små och medelstora företag som ofta inte har tillräckliga interna resurser. Dock har det påvisats att nätverkssamarbeten ofta uppfattas som misslyckade, vilket kan ha sin förklaring i att beslutsfattare inte har tillräcklig kunskap om de positiva och negativa aspekter som samarbeten kan innebära. Viktiga aspekter då det gäller agerande i nätverk är teorier om kärnkompetenser, ordervinnare och kvalificerare samt transaktionskostnader.

Today´s roofing of dwelling houses is a very time consuming procedure, which includes a lot of different steps on the construction site. Not only does it cost a lot of money, but often do problems with rot and mold occur in the attics of houses today. The use of prefabricated modules has seen a great breakthrough in the field of construction of dwelling houses; at least when it comes to foundations and walls, where this type of approach makes the construction process way more efficient. What no one previous has succeeded to develop is a corresponding system for roofs that meets the demands of a dwelling house. Accordingly the goal of PlusTak has been to come up with a proper module system for roofing of dwelling houses, where the roofing is completed to meet the demands of the Scandinavian market. During the project a lot of effort has been put into customer contacts and the usability of the product, as well in the manufacturing process as on the construction site. This development has gone hand in hand with several practical tests and tryouts.

Although Social Democratic Memoirs comprise an extensive material, these texts have not attracted any systematic analysis as a distinct and yet varied form of textual genre. The focus in this MA-paper is the Swedish Social Democratic Memoir as a rhetoric genre. The main primary material is memoirs of the pioneer August Palm (1849?1922), the father of the nation Tage Erlander (1901?1985) and the political leader Göran Persson (1949?), published 1905, 1972?82 and 2007, respectively.The general aim is to find out what is the driving power of the memoirs and, more specifically, to shed light on the images of the party history and the history of the welfare state. The method is a comparative analysis of these texts.

Due to the developments in today's gender discussions, this essay aimed at investigating the gendered constructions and encouragements to consumption. As a former fashion student I have a special interest in the commercial constructions featured in fashion magazines, especially since advertising, fashion and perceptions of gender have long walked hand in hand. Just as feminism studies have shown femininity being a fluid identity, recent studies of masculinities, media and culture are also showing changes in the depictions of men.The aim was to clarify how fashion magazines encourage men and women to consume products and ideals, and also discuss the gender constructions occurring in the junction of editorial and commercial text (articles and advertisements). The analysis was thereof based on three main questions:-       How is consumption encouraged in male and female fashion magazines?-       What kind of gendered pattern appears in the junction of advertisement and editorial text?-       With regard to the gender constructions, what is the reader encouraged to consume?The theoretical framework of the analysis was based on gender studies and political economy, mostly describing a commercial perception of feminine journalism and a new metrosexual expression in men?s fashion and lifestyle magazines.By using a combination of quantitative (content analysis) and qualitative (semiotics) approach two fashion magazines, Elle and King Magazine (published in May 2013) were used as representatives of fashion magazines in general.The results showed clear differences between the sexes.

The UN was established after the Second World War. The organization?s primary goal was to maintain peace among all nations. When the UN intervenes in other states affairs, it is violat-ing the principles it is set to defend, principles of non-intervention and respect for sover-eignty. The outcome from such interventions is very important, a result that can legitimize the action.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka vilket användningsområde journalister, som är anknutna till en redaktion, har att använda sig av bloggar och dess möjligheter. Vi vill undersöka bloggen som fenomen och då i synnerhet varför journalisten väljer att använda sig av denna alternativa medieproduktion, trots att han har möjlighet att genom sin redaktion kunna uttrycka sig och bli publicerad för en allmänhet som lyssnar till honom/henne. Vi kommer med hjälp av intervjuer, gjorda via mail, försöka att klargöra hur bloggen används av journalister och till vår hjälp kommer vi att använda Jürgen Habermas teori om offentlighet så som han har förklarat det i sin bok Borgerlig offentlighet.Frågeställningen i uppsatsen är:· Hur ser journalisten på bloggen i avseende på det offentliga och det privata?· Vilket urval gör journalisten då han/hon skriver i sin blogg?· Hur kan journalisten använda sig av bloggen?Undersökningen grundar sig i två stycken mailintervjuer med journalister som själva bloggar. Dessa två är Anders Linder, ledarskribent på Svenska Dagbladet, som bloggar under Svenska dagbladets redaktionella flagg och Andreas Ekström, journalist på Sydsvenskan, som skriver i ett mer privat rum.

The political and civil unrest during the last years of the First World War had a profound impact on the political life in many European countries. Academic research on the Swedish Social Democratic Party and the development of the parliamentary system during these years, often focus on the civil unrest and the mobilization of the labour movement during the spring of 1917, and the impact on Swedish politics of the Russian and German revolutions.This study is an examination of the relation between the Swedish labour movement and the Finnish Civil War of 1918. The general aim of the study is to examine how different levels and organisations of the labour movement acted in regards to the situation in Finland, and how these different levels and organisations interacted with one another. A second aim of this examination is to better understand during what kind of processes of the Swedish labour movement?s history that the Finnish Civil War occurred, and how it affected them.The conclusion of the study is that the there was a disparity between the leadership of the Social Democratic Party (SAP), which at the time was part of the Swedish government together with the liberal party, and the grassroots of the labour movement, organized in trade unions, and in the local organizations of the SAP and the Social Democratic Left Party (SSV).

Denna undersökning är resultatet av en kandidatuppsats skriven vid handelshögskolan, Umeå universitet på uppdrag av Scania Industrial Control vid Scania CV AB i Södertälje. Scania arbetar efter ett produktionssystem (SPS) som har grunden i Toyota Production System (TPS) och tar formen av ett hus där Scanias värderingar, principer och prioriteringar framgår. Scanias framgång anses bygga på att nyttja personalens kompetens inom förbättringsgrupper, ett arbete som sker genom SPS. Historiskt sett har SPS tydligast återfunnits inom Scanias produktionsavdelningar, emellertid har arbetssättet börjat överföras i alla Scanias verksamheter för att genomsyra hela företaget. Scania ser i dagsläget över sina verksamheter för att nå långsiktiga effektiviseringar med målet att öka sin framtida konkurrenskraft.

The guest harbor on Utö, Utö Gästhamn, is currently using electricity for heating all of the water used in the showers and taps. Because of the large amount of visitors, especially during the summer months, the hot water usage gets very high and that is also the case for the electrical bills. During the year of 2011 the cost of electricity for Utö Gästhamn reached a total of 257 500 kr. Out of these 257 500 kr approximately 142 000 kr, 55 % of the total cost, were because of the water heating.The report is the result of a cooperation with Skärgårdsstiftelsen, the Green Islands-project and Utö Gästhamn where the mutual goal is to dimension a solar energy system, to promote the sustainable development.Initially the different techniques for the solar energy system are researched. The techniques are plane solar collectors, evacuated tube collectors, pool collectors and photovoltaic cells.

Skolan innefattar inte bara lärande utan handlar även om elevers hälsa och välmående. För att eleverna ska kunna tillgodogöra sig undervisningen i skolan krävs en god psykisk hälsa. Enligt de rapporter och den litteratur vi tagit del av har elevers psykiska ohälsa ökat de senaste åren. Stämmer nu detta, att allt fler barn och ungdomar i skolan mår psykiskt dåligt, är det av en enorm vikt att skolan tar sitt ansvar att uppmärksamma och försöka förebygga psykisk ohälsa hos eleverna. Detta är ett ämne som ständigt är aktuellt eftersom det alltid kommer att finnas elever som mår dåligt, dvs.
