The aim of this study is to create understanding of why companies should collaborate with artists and how artists and businesses build strong partnerships. We also want to understand the development of relations between the music industry and companies, together with the problems, possibilities and implications it has for both artists and corporate identity and brand. The music industry has been changing rapidly during the digital revolution and new problems and opportunities have emerged which the music industry can choose to either embrace or renounce. This study is made with a qualitative approach based on interviews with relevant individuals from the music industry. We have carefully chosen these individuals to counterpart different segments of the music industry and to execute our purpose from various perspectives.

Background: Miscarriage is a common phenomenon in our society. It is reported that approximately 17 % of all pregnant women in Sweden go through a miscarriage every year. For many women miscarriage is a tumultuous life event that often has a deep emotional impact. Miscarriage is a subject that often is prohibited to talk about in our western society. Consequently this means that nurses have an important role in the emotional support for these women.

Author: Madeleine Ahlström and Hanna PuontiTitle: To meet the invisible population - A qualitative study of men with deliberate self-injury [Att möta de osynliga - En kvalitativ studie om killar med självskadebeteende]Supervisor: Anders ÖstnäsAssessor: Jan Petersson This study aims to provide a picture of the underlying causes why men deliberately hurt themselves. It also aims to provide a picture revolving how men self-harm and what the direct effects are from their self-harm. The study describes their behaviour and how the behaviour has evolved over time. There is also a focus in the study to illustrate how society´s operative approach towards men makes their self-harm invisible, and make them an invisible population that neither the scientists nor the general population chooses to see. Self-injury is strongly associated with girls and their way of harming themselves.

Glimmingehus is one of the most well preserved medieval castles in Sweden. This essay examines why it was built ? what were the intentions of the Lord, Jens Holgersen? Even though we?ll never be able to ask him, the answer to the question ?why?? can give us aninsight of how a man of his position thought in the Late Medieval time. To answer the question the castle are explored through three different angles ? the Lord of the castle and thesocial context the castle was built in, the landscape surrounding Glimmingehus ? has Jens Holgersen left any structural clues there, and finally the castle itself ? how has a potential visitor experienced Glimmingehus? The methods are greatly influenced by Gunhild Eriksdotter, who in her book Bakom fasaderna explores the possibilities of an analysis ofexperience together with an analysis of function in the archaeology of buildings.

 Gruppen personer med psykiska funktionshinder har varit och är än idag en diskriminerad grupp i samhället. Det är den grupp av funktionshindrade som har det sämst ställt, både ekonomiskt och hur de blir bemötta av allmänheten. För att stärka den enskilda brukarens ställning i samhället och för att kunna leva ett självständigt så krävs adekvata sociala färdigheter för att kunna interagera med omgivningen. Social färdighetsträning är en av många arbetsmetoder som har som syfte att stärka individens sociala kompetens och som är den här studiens fokus. Den här studien använder sig av en kvalitativ metod för att genom intervjuer med både personal och brukare studera deras upplevelser och erfarenheter av arbetsmetoden social färdighetsträning. Syftet med studien är således att frambringa kunskap om och förståelse av social färdighetsträning. Resultatet visar på positiva upplevelser och erfarenheter av arbetsmetoden från både brukare och personal.

Examensarbetet handlar om hur en skola varit framgångsrika med att höja kvaliteten bland rastvaktspersonalen och på så sätt minskat konflikterna på rasterna. Studiens syfte är att studera om konflikterna under rasterna och resten av skoldagen kan minska om man har samma personal som rastvakter och konfliktmedlare alltid. Varför beslutade sig skolan för att ändra sina rutiner under rasterna? Hur har denna skola gått tillväga för att höja kvalitén bland rastvakterna? Vad tycker personal och elever på skolan? Känner eleverna att de får med hjälp nu jämfört med innan till att lösa konflikter som uppstått under rasterna? Detta var några av alla de frågor som dök upp när jag fick höra talas om skolan och deras nya system. Genom intervjuer med rektor, personal och kamratstödjare på skolan samt 85 stycken enkätundersökningar med elever i år 2,4 och 6 har jag sammanställt ett material som övergripande visar att skolan använder sig av en bra metod under rasterna samt för konflikthantering och konfliktlösning efter rasterna. Studien är förlagd en liten byskola i Skåne som jag av en händelse fick nys om.

The study is based on a new approach on how Swedish healthcare is supposed to be controlled and organized. There is a renowned administration problem within Swedish healthcare, which seems to be an obstacle to exploit the resources to the fullest. The latest venture within the healthcare system is patient involvement, where the patients become co-producers of their own care, which aims to both improve and make healthcare more efficient. A few wards in Sweden have implemented this new approach whereupon the study intends to discuss the effectiveness and efficiency in some of these.The study is restricted to three wards, whereof two of these are inpatient wards and the other one is an outpatient ward, within the medical clinic in Jönköping County Council, which has implemented the patient involvement approach in their daily work. The methodology for this study is qualitative in its nature where a time study of personnel time allocation and supplementary interviews with managing nurses on the wards have been conducted.

This study´s focus was a group of participants of a social movement called The Zeitgeist Movement. The purpose of this study was to understand and convey what causes participants of this movement to engage despite that the prevailing culture teaches them otherwise.With qualitative methodology of participatory observation and semi-structured interviews with ten participants, our objective has been to answer the following questions: What are the driving forces that make these people act, which approach do they have to ?reality? and how do they relate to it, and what are the potential consequences with this approach?The study has shown that their critical and questioning attitude towards their perception of reality and their social constructivist view of it lead to conflicts between them and their fellowmen. The data was then analyzed with Alfred Schütz phenomenological theories in synthesis with Zygmunt Baumans critical societal analysis and theories.The study's focus was on the Gothenburg chapter of the Swedish Zeitgeist Movement. We did not make any comparisons with other national or international chapters of the movement..

The kitchen is one of the most important rooms in our homes. It is a place for social engagements, meetings between people and activity. How the kitchen looks today is a concept sprung from the Swedish kitchen standard of 1952. Eventhou this standard no longer exists it is a model of how kitchens are designed today. The kitchens most often sold today come from one of four major kitchen manufacturers in Sweden.My thesis investiges an alternative kitchen concept.

AbstractThis essay contains a comparison between principals and supervisors within the Health-care and is focused on their view regarding their own leadership. It contains a comparison between their respective models for leadership and how to evolve as a leader within these two organizations.The study is carried out as in dept interviews with four principals and four supervisors.The results show that the principals have a sufficient education and a broad network, but they need the opportunity to a personal development within their leadership. On the other hand, within the Health-care, the supervisors stand on a good base of education where focus lies on the personal development within the leadership. However, they need more opportunities to build up their networks.The conclusion that can be drawn is that these two organisations would gain on learning from each other, in order to establish as good conditions as possible to improve the leaderships within their own organization..

Inkludering och integrering är begrepp som kommer på tal allt oftare i skolans värld. Nästan hela Europa är på väg mot en mer heterogen skola där alla elever vistas tillsammans. De elever som tidigare har varit differentierade från sina klasskamrater på grund av till exempel handikapp ska vara inkluderade i undervisningen. Frågan är vad personalen i skolan tycker om inkludering. I denna studie har en enkätundersökning gjorts för att ta reda på skolpersonalens attityder till inkludering av elever med utvecklingsstöning.

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur och med vilket syfte intermarknadsföringsliknande aktiviteter utförs på anslagsfinansierade teatrar. En pilotstudie utfördes på Briggen Teaterproduktion AB, ett teaterproduktionsbolag ägt av Benny Andersson och Björn Ulvaeus, i syfte att åskådliggöra tankegångarna kring intern marknadsföring i en kreativ miljö. Vald metod för studien var fallstudie, vilken utfördes på Västerbottensteatern AB, en anslagsfinansierad teater belägen i Skellefteå, baserad på personliga intervjuer och observationer. Studien visade att intern marknadsföring användes för att motivera personal, skapa och främja företagskultur, förebereda personal att uppfylla kundens behov..

Mitt syfte med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur personalen på familjeförskolan och personal på förskolor i området ser på familjeförskolans verksamhet och dess funktion. Jag vill också ta reda på hur samarbetet mellan familjeförskolan och förskolor i området fungerar. Mina frågeställningar har varit att ta reda hur personalen på familjeförskolan respektive förskolepersonalen i samma område definierar sin egen samt den andres verksamhet och funktion. Vidare har min frågeställning handlat om vilka skillnader mellan de båda verksamheterna som personalen uppfattar att det finns. Jag har också i min frågeställning undrat hur samarbetet fungerar.Med hjälp av kvalitativa intervjuer har jag fått ett resultat som visar att personalen på förskolor i området där familjeförskolan ligger inte vet särskilt mycket om familjeförskolans verksamhet.
