I denna uppsats undersöks diskursartikulationer kring narkotikamissbruk för att ta reda på hur de konstrueras i medietexter, vilka som får komma till tal samt vilka roller dessa artikulationer tar och deras förhållande till varandra. Teorin som använts är Faircloughs kritiska diskursanalys och som komplement till den har Laclau & Mouffes kritiska diskursteori använts. I studien synliggörs tre olika artikulationstrender beroende på vilken ideologisk utgångspunkt skribenten kunde antas ha baserat på sin position. Dessa positioner diskuteras sedan med hänsyn till drogernas historiskt kulturella kontext..

The retail banking market in Sweden is highly concentrated and oligopolistic. This has been confirmed by numerous reports from different competition authorities within the EU, for example the Swedish competition authority. A considerably high number of different sorts of competition barriers has been pointed out in these reports. The competition barriers are mainly directed to the smaller banks and the potential competition. The retail banking market in Sweden is dominated by four major banks, which together has over 80 percent of all market shares.

This report describes a master thesis performed at Saab in Arboga. The main purpose was to build a controller for a system containing a turn table and an antenna beam. The idea is to use this system on a boat where it will be exposed to position disturbances due to waves. The desired behaviour is that antennas placed on the antenna beam should point towards the same target all the time. To solve this problem the system has been modeled and simulated in Matlab and Simulink.

This essay comprises a study of the bridal crowns of Tjust, with respect to their national history, concept and aspect of mythological symbol. The tradition of bearing the parochial bridal crown is closely associated with religious medieval politics, and has also come to include elements of superstition and folklore. Attention is paid to these aspects dealing with the position of the bridal crown within current forms of tradition and culture and the impact on brides of this day and age. As the tradition of Church-owned bridal crowns is intrinsic to this country, and especially in the area of which Tjust is a part, possible solutions to the continued tradition are investigated..

Article 4.1(h) in the Rome I regulation establishes which law that will be applicable on contracts concerning financial instruments concluded in multilateral systems. The main problem is that most contracts concluded within these systems have standard clauses which contain a clause on the applicable law. If this is the case, Article 3.1 in the Rome I Regulation is applicable instead. This problem makes it difficult to find a need for article 4.1(h) if it will only be applicable in exceptional cases. However, the legal position on this matter is still unclear since the Rome I Regulation has just been put into force.

Detta arbete redogör för vilka arter som står att finna på ett av Alnarps så kallade Kinafält och i vilken fysiologisk kondition de befinner sig i. Växterna position på fältet är delvis baserad på deras naturliga växtplats elevationsmässigt (väst-östligt riktning på fältet), och dels utifrån vilken akt i successionsordningen de infinner sig och kan konkurrera framgångsrikt (nord-sydlig riktning). Studien visar att majoriteten av växtmaterialet är i gott skick och bör vidare utvärderas för eventuell användning i södra Sverige..

På grund av den ökade konkurrensen på världsmarknaden krävs det att företag ständigt utvecklas för att hålla sin position på marknaden. Nätverksstrukturen kan vara ett av många sätt att möta den hårda konkurrensen på mellan företagen.

Syftet är att se hur organisationerna är uppbyggda samt belysa likheter och skillnader mellan dessa två företag. Uppsatsen bygger på en kvalitativ ansats med djupgående intervjuer med två delägare i Mäkleriet AB och med VD:n i JK Försäkringar AB..

The purpose of this paper is to interpret two stories of creation and compare them to each other with focus on the gender perspective. The interpretation is generally limited to the creation of mankind and how women are represented in each particular story.  The stories I?m interpreting is the story of creation from the Holy Bible, the so called genesis, and from The Nag Hammadi Library?s story of creation called On the origin of the world. I want to show the difference between these two stories when it comes to the women?s position and in what level she is described.
