I Norden har humle använts vid ölbryggning sedan vikingatiden. Under historisk tid var öletmer än bara en dryck, det innehöll så mycket kalorier och näringsämnen att det kunde ersättaen hel måltid (Karlsson Strese 2008).Skåne har under historiens gång tillhört både Danmark och Sverige. Vid freden i Roskilde år 1658 blev Skåne svenskt och har varit det sedan dess. Efter freden började Skåne försvenskas och de svenska lantmätarna började framställa kartor över det skånska landskapet. Humle är den enda gröda som historiskt varit lagstadgad att odla i Sverige, även i Danmark har det funnits lagar om humleodling.Detta examensarbete är en studie av lantmäteriakter som bygger på geometriska kartor, där humleodlingar i Skåne mellan åren 1658 och 1758 studerats.

An increasing global tourism offers great opportunities for Sweden as a tourist destination. However, an attractive destination requires competitive destination marketing strategies. Tourist destinations often include a complex network of stakeholders of small and large en-terprises that represent both the public and private sector. One condition for successful des-tination marketing is that all of these stakeholders collaborate in their marketing to create an integrated and powerful image. Another important aspect in terms of increasing the des-tinations competitiveness is that the local tourist companies are "export-oriented", in order to ensure that international tourists are looked after appropriately.This study has focused on the destination marketing of Stockholm.

Increased trade and eased policy restrictions have brought markets closer together. Prices at different locations are much likely to affect each other to a certain extent. Since the adaption of Common Agricultural Policy in 1995 the Swedish wheat market has been exposed to the world market and Swedish farmers are facing new challenges. A broader knowledge about market integration and price transmission will facilitate Swedish farmers, banks and politicians in making rational decisions. Therefore the aim of this research is to explain how global wheat prices are transmitted on Swedish wheat prices.

The debate surrounding the opinion polls of the political party Sverigedemokraterna, and later their results in the Swedish election has been evident. The purpose of the study is to investigate how norms of equal treatment in social work practice might be influenced by Sverigedemokraterna's understanding of culture, ethnicity, nationality and religion. The thesis is outlined through the works of Teun van Dijk and Ruth Wodak (2000) regarding racist discourse in politics, Giorel Curran (2004) explaining lesser established parties influence on the broader discourses and Anders Hellström and Tom Nilsson (2010) attempting to ideologically position Sverigedemokraterna. With the method for analyzing policy documents designed by Carol Bacchi (2009) the latest motions from Sverigedemokraterna has been analyzed. Bacchi?s theoretical framework, together with theory concerning the expression of modern racism of John Hodge (1999), Paul Gilroy (1999) and Bennedict Anderson (1996) amongst others has been used to create an understanding of the material.

This paper develops a theory for understanding negotiation situations involving states and indigenous peoples. Using relevant constructivist theory as a starting point, the paper develops a theory about understanding the relationship between power and culture implicit in the concept of the state. This relationship is examined in negotiations situations involving states and indigenous peoples. States are constituted by social structure and are representatives of the national culture. At the same time states are actors within the international system and a part of the culture of Westphalia.

The aim of this two year master thesis is to analyze how digital preservation is presented as a problem in the Swedish national strategy for the digitization and digital preservation of the Swedish cultural heritage. In order to study which assumptions about digital preservation exists within the strategy I apply the discourse oriented methodological tools presented by Carol Lee Bacchi, which focuses on discerning what problem or, rather, representation of a problem exists within a specific policy. This study is a post-structuralist discourse analysis. The main focus of the study is on what assumptions and prerequisites the dominating representation of the problem is based upon and how the representation has evolved. The main material of the study consists of public investigations conducted by the Swedish state, governmental propositions and replies as well as other public documents upon which Bacci's methodological tools are applied.Results show that digital preservation is primarily interpreted as a financial problem as the national strategy and its surrounding documents stress the need of cost-efficient solutions.

During recent decades several studies have investigated how different social roles and socialization processes between women and men affects our attitudes, values and priorities to environmental problems. Many empirical studies among the general public, indicates that women tend to show a greater environmental concern than men, because of women?s different health- safety- and risk perception. Even though the results are well established among the general public, when investigating if elected women in public offices tend to express a higher environmental concern, than do men, the results are not that clear. By using a dataset covering all the 290 municipalities in Sweden, this study aims to investigate if there is any correlation between the amount of female representatives in the municipality and the amount of emissions of CO2e per capita.

ABSTRACTCan Danish experience explain why Sverigedemokraterna had a higher support among voters in Skåne, than among other Swedish voters?Essay in Political Science, C-levelAuthor: Jenny WoodTutor: Gregg Bucken-KnappAutumn 2006/ Spring 2007The key question of this essay concerns the outcome of Sweden?s latest election. When all the votes where counted, the county of Skåne showed an exceptionally high support for the right wing nationalist party Sverigedemokraterna. Why then, did Sverigedemokraterna have a higher support among voters in Skåne (as part of the larger and transnational Öresund region), than among other Swedish voters? My hypothesis is the following: the regional interaction within Öresund has not only had positive effects concerning the values that the people of Skåne hold.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka grundskolans tobakspolicy i Hallands län, detta med utgångspunkt från två frågeställningar: om grundskolorna i Hallands län hade en dokumenterad skriven tobakspolicy samt om tobakspolicydokumenten var utformade utifrån statens folkhälsoinstituts rekommendationer kring vad som bör ingå i ett policydokument gällande tobak. Resultatet av studien visade att 33 av 49 tillfrågade skolor angav att de hade ett policydokument innehållande tobak. 3 av 49 skolor svarade att dem inte hade någon policy på området och 13 av 49 svarade inte på förfrågan. Utav de 33 skolor som utgav sig för att ha ett dokument gällande tobak, svarade 90 procent av skolorna att de utgick från ett samlat policydokument för kommunens grundskolor. Ett av dessa dokument hade i vaga ordalag nämnt tobak som drog i sin drogpolicy medan fokus i ett annat dokument endast låg på alkohol och narkotika.

Den 1 januari 2011 ersattes Lagen om yrkesverksamhet på hälso- och sjukvårdens område, LYHS, (SFS 1998:531) av Patientsäkerhetslagen (SFS 2010:659). I den äldre lagversionen var det endast hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal som fick prova ut och tillhandahålla kontaktlinser (SFS 1998:531 4 kap 2§ punkt 6). I den nya versionen, Patientsäkerhetslagen, är ordet tillhandahålla borttaget. Ändringen och därmed borttagningen av tillhandahållandet medför att det är fritt att tillhandahålla kontaktlinser.Studiens syfte var att ta reda på om Sveriges kontaktlinsoptiker har ändrat sitt sätt att rapportera kontaktlinsrelaterade skador efter avregleringen trätt i kraft samt att reda ut vilka skyldigheter optiker i Sverige har gällande kontaktlinser enligt lagen.En enkät omfattande 13 frågor skapades i form av en webbaserad enkät med hjälp av programmet Google Docs (http://docs.google.com). Den innefattade frågor om hur svenska optiker rapporterar/rapporterade kontaktlinsrelaterade skador innan och efter lagändringen 1 januari 2011 trädde i kraft.

The pupose of this study is to qualitatively study how teachers at a high school work with the schools demokratic mission under the management by objectives and what the policy document says and how the students can partcipate in different issues. My question fomulations are: What does it say in the governing documents about schools democratic mission and student influence? How do teachers concretely work to implement the values of democracy and student influence? How can the class councils used as part of the school's democratic mission? The theoretical frame of the study is about the school democracy mission and the possibilities and limits.  Futhermore a brief review of the fundamental values of the school are presented, followed by how the democratic process works.I used the qualitative analysis in order to find a lot of information about a small amount. Its strength is to convey a lot of information about a small number of observations and if the material is small in size.

The overall aim of this thesis is to examine how Easy-to-Read information, used by governmental agencies, facilitates and limits the field of possibilities for the intended recipient, based on the information.This, in anera of e-government.The theoretical framework is based on two Foucauldian concepts governmentality and discourse analysis. Representatives from five Swedish governmental agencies have been interviewed and the results have been analyzed based on the following questions: (1) How do the representatives construct the category Easy-to-Read? (2) How do these representatives construct the recipients of Easy-to-Read? In order to broaden the understanding of Easy-to-Read, an important national level policy document, containing a summary of strategies and goals for e-government has also been analyzed based on the following questions: (3) How is the e-government constructed in the text? (4) How is the citizen constructed and positioned in the text? The collected material is analyzed using a discourse analysis inspired by Foucault.With the results from the interviews and the analyzis of the policy document, Easy-to-Read information has been discussed and examined as a technology to meet the needs of people with reading difficulties, putin an era of e-government.The findings of the study include the following: (1) The e-government is constructed as a service agency and the citizens are positioned as clients. Furthermore, the citizens are expected to participate digitally and be digitally competent. (2)Some of the representatives does not know, with certainty, to whom the texts are directed or if they are used.
