The purpose of this study is to investigate the primary motivation for studying abroad among students at Södertörn University, and also examine how the time studying abroad will affect the students on a personal level. The essay is based on a qualitative approach of ten interviews with students who have already completed an exchange program. With the help of the theoretical concepts of push and pull factors, motivation categories, human capital and previous research, the results and analysis showed a coherent pattern. It turns out that the majorities of students are primarily motivated by the opportunity to enjoy a nice nature, new environment and get to know new people. The time studying abroad mostly contributed to the student?s personal development and also gave an understanding of other people and different cultures.

In order to rescue a distressed submarine crew, the Swedish Navy is able to use a deep submergence rescue vehicle, DSRV. This mini submarine ascends, docks to the downed submarine and picks up the whole crew. The submarine rescue ship HMS Belos has a special crane located in the aft of the ship to lift the surfaced DSRV aboard, which then docks on to the on board pressure chambers located below deck. During inspections the aforementioned crane has shown to have problems with cracks in the structure, most of them located in the bolted joint between the top part of the crane and the two leg parts. A simulation of the forces acting on the structure in heavy sea condition was conducted; these values were then used as input values in a Finite Element Method, FEM, analysis of the joint.

The main aim of this study is to examine the development policies of Sweden and the European Union from a postcolonial perspective. Sweden and the European Union are increasingly coming to be viewed as normative powers rather than military powers. So how does the colonial past of the western societies affect the policies of today? Are there any signs of the power structures of the past, and if so, how are these power structures manifested in the development policies of today? Since both Sweden and the European Union have come to be viewed as normative powers they are compared with each other to highlight their similarities and differences. The results of the study shows that both Sweden and the European Union can be seen as carriers of western values and interests.

De flesta teoretikerna som forskar kring företagskultur och möjligheterna att förändra en sådan menar att det går, men att det kan vara svårt pga. många olika orsaker. En stark företagskultur med starka värderingar anses bidra till en god arbetsmiljö och därmed en hög effektivitet. Vi har i denna studie undersökt om en företagskultur går att förändra och påverka av företagsledningen. Vi utförde en strukturerad enkätstudie på SEB Kort AB där nya värderingar infördes 2002.

This essay is intended to illustrate the norms and values which can be deduced from the notifier Catarina Andersdotter and recorded by Gunnar-Olof Hyltén-Cavallius. Reflects the legends of the peasant culture and life during the later part of 1700´s and early 1800´s.                      In the background material, I have assumed the following conditions of life; faith, love, work and children. Since Hyltén-Cavallius is our filter between us and the notifier, I have examined his life and incorporated events that may be of interest of the essay. Catarina Andersdotter´s life is described in the essay to show the factors and living conditions in her life that influenced her choice of stories.                      The environment of the commons over time period is described for the purpose of the variables of the legends. Legends have been qualitatively and quantitatively investigated.                      The essay shows that most of the legends deal with mytical world and its creatures as well as the interaction with humans.

The European Union has faced lots of criticisms over the last couple of years when it comes to how refugees are treated in Europe. The Lisbon Treaty states in Article 2 that the European Union is founded on respect for human freedom, dignity and equality. Values such as democracy, rule of law, respect for human rights and that the rights of persons belonging to minorities should be respected are also something that the Union should be based on. How is it then that the Roma people, which are Europe's largest minority, are being persecuted all over Europe, that they get deported and have their camps destroyed? Why are refugees from North Africa being sent back before they even have a chance to seek asylum?  In this essay I have examined how the EU are treating refugees and tried to distinguish if there are any differences in how they treat internal and external refugees.

The main aim was to investigate the provenance of Viking age antler material findings of moose and red deer from Sigtuna and from three sites on the island of Gotland in the Baltic sea. This was done by analysis of the stable isotopes of carbon, nitrogen and sulphur. Thre were never any living population of these mammals on Gotland during the Viking age.?34S-values of sulphur from this study was compared with earlier research and by studying maps of the Swedish bedrock. The ?34S-values were more like the ?34S-value for bedrock other than European granite.

Vårt syfte med denna uppsats är att ta reda på vilka nyckeltal som de undersökta företagen använder och hur de ingår i företagens strategiarbete när det gäller personalbefrämjande åtgärder. Vi har konstaterat att personalbefrämjande åtgärder och nyckeltal ingår i strategiarbetet hos de undersökta företagen. Företagen ser sin personal som en resurs värd att vårda. Vår uppfattning är att det lönar sig att satsa på en frisk och välmående personal som i slutändan ger lönsamhet för företagen.

The consociational democracy model in Macedonia, which came out from a warcrisis and a peace agreement from 2001, in addition, putting an end to the violent conflict, actually admits the division of the society along the ethnic lines. Paradoxically, there is an attempt to bridge the ethnic gap with this model. As a result, the consociational democracy model holds solutions that can be abused if somebody misuses its power and desires to disintegrate the country. The future development depends therefore on the moderate attitude of the citizens, and first and foremost, on the political elites and their commitment to the values of democracy and human rights instead of their nationalistic goals. Furthermore, thepresent democratic consolidation in Macedonia is established on the execution of the peace agreement and the improved effectiveness of the institutions.

Syftet med denna undersökning har varit att ge kunskap om hur personal och intagna förhåller sig till, och ser på varandra, på en svensk anstalt med omfattande säkerhets- och kontrollarbete. Distansen mellan personalgruppen och gruppen av intagna har varit en mycket viktig faktor, och de problem som kan uppstå med olika grad av distanstagande har undersökts och analyserats. Undersökningen är av kvalitativ karaktär och deltagande observationer har tillämpats som främsta metod. Två intervjuer med personal i arbetsledande funktion har genomförts för att öka generaliserbarheten samt förståelsen för observerade fenomen. Kommunikationen mellan personal och intagna har utgjort en annan mycket viktig del i studien.

There are few legally protected gardens in Sweden, and those that are protected are mainly from the 17th and 18th centuries. All time periods have the same value and more modern gardens therefore needs to be protected. Evaluating parks is, however, complicated since it do not exist any methods. One environment from the 1960?s that has not been protected is Televerket in Farsta, Stockholm. The facility has been classified as worthy of preservation by Stockholm City Museum and has received the Kasper Salin Prize.

Studien är kvalitativ med en hermeneutisk utgångspunkt och insamlingsmetoden är semistrukturerade intervjuer. Studiens syfte var att belysa hur personal inom barn- och ungdomspsykiatrin uppfattar självskadebeteende och insatser hos barn och ungdomar samt vilka överväganden de gör vid val av insatser. Frågeställningarna var: hur uppfattar personal inom barn- och ungdomspsykiatrin självskadebeteende, hur uppfattar personalen de insatser som barn- och ungdomspsykiatrin erbjuder barn och ungdomar med självskadebeteende och vilka överväganden gör personal inom barn- och ungdomspsykiatrin i val av insatser till barn och ungdomar med självskadebeteende? Resultatet tolkades med hjälp av Moira von Wrights punktuella och relationella perspektiv. Resultatet visade att självskadebeteende är ett beteende med flera orsaker där ångest och relationsproblem är mest framträdande.
