This study concerns the complete oeuvre by the British author Helen Zahavi: Dirty Weekend (1991), True Romance (1994), and Donna and the Fatman (1998). Her novels are here read as a trilogy dealing with the dialectics of gender and violence in 20th century discourse, drawing on theories of how the construction of subjects is produced by power, of the relation between power and sexuality.The heroines of Zahavi?s novels try their best to move about in a world where their freedom of movement is limited to their female identity. In Dirty Weekend the protagonist tries to shoot her way out, claiming revenge on every man that is forcing himself upon her. She gains some freedom of movement by refusing subordination, but does not really change the order of power.

The theme of my exam project, the practical work and the essay will be the phenomena of dreams. The dreams you have when you are asleep, the dreaming state of mind, places where your mind takes you, when you no longer decide what to think of. It is a fascination about what our mind creates itself. This essay brings up the theme out from seeing the dreams and the unconsciousness as a source of inspiration, both in personal development and from an artistic point of view. How has the world of dreams bin used as inspiration in the art? .

Authors: Patrik Jäverbo & Jon LindheTitle: Greener on the other sideLevel: Bachelor of JournalismLocation: University of GothenburgLanguage: SwedishIn later years the strict laws and policies surrounding cannabis use have been questioned around the world by several influential leaders, among them US president Barack Obama and former UN secretary general Kofi Annan. It has been argued that the ?War on Drugs? has done more harm than good and in some American states and a number of European countries the drug have been legalized or decriminalized. Everybody does not agree however, that legalization is the best course of action and in Sweden the emotions have sometimes run high in the discussions taking place in television shows and newspapers.The purpose of this study is to examine the image media portrays of cannabis; based on the theory that mass media is an important influence on the individual and the way in which he or she views the world. To put the result into a context the Swedish media image will be compared with the one in Denmark and Norway.

The worldwide industrial demand of energy, often in form of fossil fuel, is continuously growing and at the same time these resources are coming to an end (Hamamre, 2013). The interest and focus in renewable sources are then more important than ever and plants are suggested to be a good alternative for production of raw material for industrial purposes (Nilsson et al., 1998). But the world is also facing an increasing world population which also increase the nutritional needs, plants therefore need to be suitable for both industrial and nutritional purposes. To achieve this, common plants need to be improved but it also need new potential crops to be developed and introduced (Carlsson et al., 2009). Modern technology like gene engineering is an important tool to achieve these challenges (Carlsson et al., 2011). This work focused on analyzes and evaluation of different transgenic lines of field pepperweed (Lepidium campestre L.).

My essay is fundamentally about an idea. It could even be placed in the study of the history of ideas by the fact that it could be seen as if I am trying to reflect upon how one single idea can get a strong societal and historical impact. How thoughts, visions and then inventions are constructing societies and everything that derives from them. In my text I try to illuminate and connect social theory to our social reality and by using discourse (theory) analysis I try to study central terms in the discourse of surveillance. The question which is of social psychological interest would be that of how the individual in dialectical relation to thesurrounding society is free and how he then would get inflected by this surveillance.

Denna uppsats behandlar hur gymnasielärare i historia ser på IT som ett pedagogiskt redskap. Genom en kvalitativ undersökning med intervjuer samt en kvantitativ undersökning med 103 respondenter fann jag att en stor del av dessa lärare använder IT i sin undervisning, hur ofta de använder IT som ett pedagogiskt redskap varierar. En stor del av respondenterna svarade att de ville gå en kortare utbildning för att få kunskap och tips om hur man kan jobba med IT i historieundervisningen. Tillgången till datorsalar var god och en stor del av respondenterna ansåg att det fanns fördelar med att använda IT som ett pedagogiskt verktyg. Slutsatsen blir att flertalet lärare använder IT i sin undervisning idag, men de törstar efter mer utbildning inom området.

We live in a world where the resources are not equally divided and that is why charity work is needed. The United Nations Children?s Fund, UNICEF, is a global organization that works for children?s human rights around the world. But perhaps even charity work, which´s often glorified in the society, need to be looked at from different directions. Research about intercultural education, globalization and charity shows that even good deeds can end up reproducing the problem that was supposed to be solved in the first place.

Detta arbete handlar om varför utbytesstudenter som kommer till Luleå tekniska universitet har valt att studera just där samt hur de upplever sin situation vad gäller studiesituation, socialt liv, traditioner, fritid och personlig utveckling. Föreligger det skillnader med avseende på kön, civilstånd, nationalitet samt hur lång tid de vistats i Luleå? En enkät på engelska skickades ut via e-post samt utdelades i ett klassrum. Resultaten visade att det var främst motiv som kan förknippas med inre motivation som var av betydelse för att studera i Sverige och Luleå. Signifikanta skillnader mellan kvinnliga och manliga studenter påträffades.

I januari 2011 delades de tva? sista fria IPv4-adressblocken ut av Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) till den asiatiska Internetregistratorn Apnic (Asia Pacific Network Information Centre). Detta inneba?r att adresserna som fanns i den centrala adresspoolen nu a?r slut. Registratorn hade anso?kt om dessa adressblock eftersom det ra?der akut brist pa? Internet Protocol version 4- (IPv4-adresser) i Asien samtidigt som Internetanva?ndarna i denna del av va?rlden o?kar explosionsartat (Magnusson, 2011a).

Detta är en enkätstudie av skolors miljöarbete, det vill säga hur skolorna arbetar med och påverkar den yttre miljön. Syftet med arbetet är att undersöka ett antal skolors yttre miljöarbete, men även de miljömål skolan har för att värna om vår miljö. Resultatet av denna studie är att skolors miljöarbete är alltför knappt, vilket också tidigare forskning visat. På grundval av att resultatet i enkätstudien visade på ett nästintill obefintligt miljöarbete på skolorna samt att de inkomna svaren blev färre än beräknat, så har ett förslag arbetats fram tillsammans med en miljöutvecklare för hur skolor kan arbeta med miljön. Detta för att miljöarbetet skall bli en naturlig del såväl i undervisningen som i skolans övergripande arbete.

The  change that has occurred during the past few decades concerning the development of electronic records, information technology and the constantly increasing quantity of information, have confronted the archival discipline with new challenges. In the digital world, the concept of ?record? has changed from representing something lasting and physical to something much more abstract and transient. The way to approach archival description has also changed, from focusing on the static preservation of archival records, to documenting the transactions of organisations, and to clarify operational processes. The discussion about the general purpose of the archival discipline, and its place in a changing world, has led to a new approach to archival description.

Due to the decrease in obtaining driver?s licenses among young people, the main purpose of this study was to acquire a deeper understanding of young people?s attitudes towards driver?s license and towards driver?s education. This is a qualitative study with a theoretical approach, which combines Bourdieu with post modern theories. By using focus groups a wide rage of attitudes among young people have been gathered. Having a driver?s license is still considered a standard among young people even though their attitude mostly depends on their need for one.

Syfte: Uppsatsens syfte är av beskrivande samt analyserande karaktär och ämnar undersöka Högskolan i Halmstads nuvarande krisorganisation och kriskommunikation. Målet är att sedan identifiera om, och i så fall hur, den befintliga kriskommunikationen kan effektiviseras.Metod: Insamling av dokument, semistrukturerade intervjuer och e-post enkäter.Resultat: Studien visar att krisorganisationen kan vara strukturerad på olika sätt beroende på vilken omfattning en kris bedöms ha. Det finns formellt inga fullständiga strategier för kriskommunikation, även om det informellt går att se tydliga mönster i hur sådan kommunikation sköts. Denna präglas av organisationens hierarkiska struktur och går i praktiken till och från närmsta chef. Organisationen är präglad av en traditionell syn på kriskommunikation, effektiviseringsförslag föreslår att organisationen i större utsträckning anammar en senmodern syn på kriskommunikation..

What do we really mean when we are talking about the perfect leadership? Does a leadership like that really exist in the world we live in today? Being perfect is something that many people are longing for, but that is hard to achieve. In school, in families and at work: the longing for perfectionism is everywhere. Being a leader is a tough goal to master, being the perfect leader is something impossible. Many managers in Sweden today all want to be successful and perfect at what they do, many of them don?t have the time to reflect over how the perfect leadership should be characterized.

I denna designstudie överges dagens syn på e-postmedierad kommunikation som en linjär process. Bilden som linjära modeller ger av verkligheten är alldeles för generaliserad. Kommunikationsmodeller idag bortser från eller lägger minimal vikt på aspekter som är av betydande roll för hela kommunikationsprocessen. Syftet med denna designstudie är att utforma och evaluera en kommunikationsmodell som ska ligga till grund för analysering av e-postkommunikation. Modellen bygger på existerande teorier från kommunikationsvetenskapen och har modifierats med fenomen och aspekter som gör att den på ett realistiskt sätt speglar en verklig kommunikationsprocess.
