De fina skillnaderna : Vem och vad signalerade status i klädedräkten, Öjaby och Virestad under 1780-talet.
This study examines patterns of consumption during the 1780s in Öjaby and Virestad parishes. I have examined the clothes and jewelry in estate inventories using the concept of status. Then I have used Pierre Bourdieu's theories to understand fashion mechanisms.I have identified five different groups, each distinguished by their formal wear. Men have similar clothes but in Virestad they have more items and more silver. Four people were divergent, they choose other materials and models.
Antibiotic resistance associated with bacteria in irrigation water : a case study of irrigation ponds in Southern Sweden
The
focus
of
this
project
was
to
characterize
the
occurrence
of
ESBL-?producing
bacteria
in
two
irrigation
water
ponds
in
Southern
Sweden.
Samples
were
taken
from
two
ponds
nearby
each
other,
from
which
analyses
were
made
based
on
levels
of
community
and
individual
isolates.
Community
samples
were
used
for
attempts
for
characterization
of
resistance
patterns
in
irrigation
water
using
the
Omnilog
PM-?plate
system.
The
growth
of
community
microbiota
in
the
presence
of
the
following
antibiotic
substances
was
assessed;
amikacin,
gentamicin,
kanamycin,
penicillin
G,
ampicillin,
piperacillin,
trimethoprim,
potassium
tellurite
and
ciprofloxacin.
Isolates
were
pure
cultured
using
semi-?selective
media:
LB,
Rainbow
Agar,
mEnterococcus,
0.1
TSA
and
VRBD.
A
total
of
177
isolates
were
isolated
randomly.
Each
isolate
was
identified
using
the
Omnilog
GENIII-?system
of
biochemical
characterization.
Further,
the
isolates
were
tested
on
Brilliance
ESBL-?agar
for
their
ability
to
grow.
Out
of
the
total
number
of
isolates,
30
were
selected,
preferably
Enterobacteriaceae
or
Pseudomonas
spp.,
based
on
their
high
similarity
to
library
strain
during
the
identification
in
the
Omnilog-?system.
These
were
further
characterized
using
Etest-?sticks.
Three
selected
strains
were
picked
for
further
analyses
using
exogenous
isolation
for
attempts
to
simulate
horizontal
gene
transfer,
and
Omnilog
PM-?panels
containing
various
antibiotics
of
interest.
Selections
of
samples
were
chosen
for
molecular
tests
targeting
plasmid-?borne
resistance
genes
CTX-?M1,
CTX-?M2
and
SHV.
The
method
for
assessing
community-?resistance
patterns
showed
ambiguous
data
that
was
difficult
to
interpret;
further
optimization
is
recommended.
For
all
tested
PM-?plates,
generally
greatest
differences
between
substances
were
found
among
wells
with
the
strongest
concentration
of
antibiotic
substance.
A
total
of
175
isolates
displayed
ability
to
grow
on
ESBL-?agar.
Etests
confirmed
ability
of
isolates
to
resist
many
?-?lactam
antibiotics
and
many
were
clinically
resistant
to
certain
substances.
No
plasmids
were
transferred
during
exogenous
isolation.
During
molecular
tests,
a
few
matches
were
found
for
the
CTX-?M1
gene.
Isolates
analyzed
with
Omnilog
PM-?plates
showed
resistance
to
most
compounds
tested.
The
isolates
showed
greatest
resistance
toward
penicillin
G,
ampicillin,
amikacin,
kanamycin
and
trimethoprim.
In
the
study,
it
was
established
that
resistance
among
bacteria
was
frequently
occurring
in
the
irrigation
water,
and
?-?lactamase
producing
bacteria
was
very
common.
Extended
studies
are
needed
to
assess
the
frequency-?
and
occurrence
of
horizontal
gene
transfer
(HGF)
in
this
environment.
Although
some

The study deals with the causes of unjustified differences in pay between women and men in the banking sector. The purpose of this paper has been to examine how a gender project implemented in the private banking organizations from a gender-and implementation perspective. The aim of the project examined is to even unjustified differences in pay between men and women in the banking and finance sector. The main issues are: ? How has the project been implemented and what are the real and perceived results? ? How can the opportunities and barriers to successful implementation course with emphasis on gender? The method used is a qualitative study, where the empirical material consisted of focus group interviews.
Kvinnor som blivit våldsutsatta av en manlig partner : så upplever de vårdpersonalens bemötande
Bakgrund: Våld mot kvinnor i partnerrelationer är ett stort samhällsproblem och varje år dör ungefär 17 kvinnor till följd av våldet. När kvinnorna besöker hälso- och sjukvården kan en unik möjlighet ges att upptäcka partnervåldet. Syfte: Syftet med litteraturstudien var att beskriva hur kvinnor som blivit våldsutsatta av en manlig partner upplever vårdpersonalens bemötande. Metod: En allmän litteraturstudie gjordes som baserades på 14 vetenskapliga artiklar. Resultat: Kvinnorna upplevde att vårdpersonalen inte vågade ställa frågan om partnervåld, dock hade de flesta positiva upplevelser av att vårdpersonalen satt ner och lyssnade på dem.
Aktivitet i ingenmansland : En undersökning av sökbeteendet bland arbetslösa sjukskrivna
Absenteeism due to sickness has increased during the last few years and has become a serious problem of society in Sweden. Among the sick-listed there is a group that apart from being sick are also unemployed.The aim of this paper was to study if and how the unemployed seek employment when they are sick-listed. Central questions have been if the unemployed seek employment while they are sick-listed? To what extent do they seek employment? Which methods do they use and what demands do they make of their prospective jobs?The survey was based on a quantitative method and the answers that 100 unemployed sick-listed in the northwest of Skåne, Sweden gave to questionnaires. The result was analysed using a bivariate analysis in order to find patterns or obvious differences.The result showed that more than half (60 percent) of the people in the survey group used up to an hour or more per week to search for or apply for work.
Reading space. Möbel för läsning till Göteborgs nya stadsbibliotek
Reading spaceFurniture for reading for the new city library of GöteborgThe main purpose of my project has been to inspire people to read books at the library. I wanted to create something very site specific and chose a room on the second floor of the new city library to work with. To be able to relax, feel inspired and to concentrate on reading, the visitors of the library need to experience a sense of security. My solution to the different conditions or problems in the room and the needs I identified is a seat hanging inside a frame. When sitting down in the seat, the frame is low enough to see over but it is still experienced as a private spatiality.
Självmedicinering med cannabis för posttraumatiskt stressyndrom. En normanalys av individers upplevelser och professioners uppfattning
The purpose of this study was to examine people's experiences of self-medication with cannabis in relation to post-traumatic stress disorder and professions? opinions of cannabis for medical use. The study focuses on norms and values as well as its impact on individuals. A qualitative approach was used with thematically open interview questions, in order to gain an insight into the interviewees? reality and their experiences.
Tidskriftsrummet och integration: en kvalitativ undersökning av tidningsläsandet hos några individer av första generationens invandrare
The purpose of this master?s thesis is to find out in which ways a group of first generation immigrants use Swedish papers and magazines in a public library and which information needs this group has about Swedish society. One important aspect in this essay is integration of immigrants in the Swedish society as a possible effect of newspaper reading. The method used in this study is qualitative. Data is generated through semi-structured interviews.
Skurken i informationssamhället. En diskursanalys av upphovsrättsdebatten i svensk och amerikansk dagspress 2001-2006
This Master?s thesis is an analysis of metaphors in relation to actors, and of discourses used in the copyright-debate in two major Swedish daily newspapers and one American: Göteborgs-Posten, Svenska Dagbladet and New York Times during the years 2001-2006. We aim to answer the following questions: Which metaphors were being used in the copyright-debate to create the archetypal villain, hero, winner and loser in editorials, debate and letters to the editor in the three newspapers? Which discourses did those metaphors relate or conform to? Which similarities or differences could be found when comparing the two countries? newspapers regarding representations and constructions of villains, heroes, winners and losers in the copyright-debate? Firstly we distinguished who the actors in the debate were, following parts of Theo van Leeuwen?s actors? analysis. Secondly we distinguished which metaphors were being used to describe the actors as either villains, heroes, winners or losers.
Det manliga köttet: Om köttets roll i skapandet av maskuliniteter, och den svenska hållbarhetsdiskursens genus(o)medvetenhet rörande ekologiskt hållbar köttkonsumtion
Several studies indicate that Swedish men consume more meat than women, more frequently appear in advertisements for meat and more often than women handle the grilling of meat. Production of meat is one of the largest contributors to greenhouse-gas emissions and thereby poses a challenge for ecological sustainability. Several Swedish politicians and authorities have argued that reduced meat consumption is necessary to prevent continued global climate change. To understand and change consumption patterns we need to understand the consumer. This essay uses textual analysis to examine how Swedish men through text and images in three cookbooks use preparation and consumption of meat to construct different masculinities.
Egentligen får dom inte säga att det är killek eller tjejlek, för då leker inte man tillsammans : En kvalitativ studie om förskolebarns syn på genus i förhållande till lek
Denna studies syfte är att beskriva och förstå könsmönster i förskolebarns samtal omkring lek. Tidigare forskning har visat att den rådande normen i förskolan är den heterosexuella normen. Studier har visat att man inte vet hur många förskolor som arbetar med jämställdhet för att det inte finns någon skyldighet att rapportera det. Barn anpassar sig till pedagogers och vuxenvärldens normer på hur de förväntas vara.Utifrån empirin, som består av två gruppintervjuer med barn i 4-5årsåldern, så visar det att barnen applicerar de rådande könsstereotypa föreställningarna på leksaker och föremål i sin närmiljö. Enligt min studie så var barnen medvetna om könsmönster och delade upp lekformationer och leksaker i manligt och kvinnligt kodade positioner.
En barnomsorg som inte räcker till : En undersökning om hur nattis framställs i media
This is an examination that investigates how daycare during nights, evenings and weekends, so called ?nattis?, is produced in media with restriction to three big Swedish newspapers during 2004-2012. The main intention and the base to this work is to see how media chooses to produce daycare during nights. As a help to find a result to this main intention there are four questions. These questions are which similarities and differences that can be shown in the articles, which main arguments that can be shown, if it?s a positive or negative picture that the articles are producing and which patterns and themes that can be shown. The method to find an answer to these questions and the main intention were an investigation of 21 articles.
Från webb till app : En studie i hur interaktions- och grafisk design påverkas i utvecklingen från webbplats till mobilapplikation
This paper reports a study in how interaction design and graphic design is affected in the process of developing an mobile application to complement the use of an existing webbsite. The paper also ask how developers are affected in this process by the use of designpatterns. The purpous of the report was to see how designpatterns affects the development of mobile applications and how the interaction and graphic design differs between various company webbsites and their related application. A study was conducted by comparing three diffrent webbsites with three related applications to find material for our thesis. Interviews were conducted on three diffrent companys that work professionaly with creating mobile applications.
Talande tystnader om heder : En analys av socialsekreterares och förvaltningsrättens bedömning genom rättsfall av hedersrelaterade LVU-ärenden
One of the social services primary missions is to protect children from suffering harm. Social service work should work based on the child?s best and have the child's perspective in mind. In all cases involving children, the focus is on the child's needs and interests and is regulated in Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). Both of the previous research and this study reveal the various markers that are evident in the social services handling of honor related cases.
Brott utan målsägande : En diskursanalys av lagtexter om prostitution
Prostitution has been intensely debated in Sweden for nearly four decades. Two major investigations have so far been initiated by the government and numerous propositions have been put forward in the Swedish parliament resulting in the sexköpslag from 1999 that criminalizes purchase of sexual services. The law aims at punishing the buyer and protecting the women in prostitution, thus making it possible for women to be helped by various social interventions rather than punished. Swedish society has undergone major changes in these decades. Globalization, the internet and the membership in the EU have changed the Swedish society and influenced the discourse on prostitution.This paper has a twofold aim, on the one hand investigating if and how these changes have had an impact on the prostitution discourse in texts produced by the government and analyze how female and male sexuality in connection to prostitution is constructed.
