In this study we have examined how men and women are heard on Sveriges Televisions program Debatt. Debatt broadcast on Sveriges Televison which is a public service broadcaster. Through the use of a quantitative content analysis and a dialogical approach, we have documented how many men and women who speak, how they speak, how long they have the word and the subjects they will be heard in, in the program Debatt. We have investigated the ten last broadcast programs from the fallseason 2011. Every program is 45 minutes long and contains from two to three discussiontopics each time. By categorizing our survey and enter the result in four different tables, we found that the majority, 63%, of those that are heard are men.

The aim of this MA thesis is to examine how users regard and receive the services offered by a specific public library. We also examine what the conception of service means to the users and how they perceive this service being offered by the library. We look upon if and to what extent the service conception depends on contact with the library staff. The methods used are qualitative interviews and analyses of documents directing the library activities. The public library we have examined in this respect is the public library of Västerås.

School and education are topics that are frequent in Swedish media. The intention of this essay has therefore been to investigate the image of teachers and their profession in Swedish daily press. The overall aim has been to analyze how teachers are portrayed in the debate that followed the TV-show Klass 9A, and by that find how the debate defines the concept of a good teacher.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att, utifrån en analys om läkarprofessionens eventuellt förändrade syn på patientbemötandet - gällande både sin egen och patientens roll - kritisera och kontrastera New Public Management och Service Management angående marknadsanpassning av läkar- och patientrollen. Vi utgår från ett tolkande paradigm och använder oss av en kvalitativ metod. Vi kritiserar New Public Management och Service Management inom svensk sjukvård huvudsakligen utifrån Etienne Wengers teori om sociala grupper i samhället, men även utifrån Michel Foucaults och Jean Baudrillards teorier. Empirisk data presenteras tillsammans med teorin och tolkas utifrån teorin. Empirin härstammar från åtta intervjuer och en observation, men består även av sekundärdata i form av artiklar från läkarfackpress.

Several public libraries are displaying media, such as literature, on the websites of their own. The purpose of this Master?s thesis is to make a survey of the display phenomenon at Swedish public libraries.

SYFTE: Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka vad det kan finnas för orsaker till att spela ett av världens störta MMORPG-spel, World of Warcraft. Förutom detta är uppsatsens mål att även granska vad det kan finnas för positiva och negativa effekter med spelandet samt utifrån Henry Jenkins kunskapsgemenskap se om de kan appliceras på spelets guilder.TEORETISKT PERSPEKTIV: Det teoretiska perspektivet, vilket har används i denna uppsats, är Henry Jenkins moderna form av kunskapsgemenskap. En kunskapsgemenskap är en gemenskap där man med hjälp av varandras individuella expertis tillsammans kan nå gemensamma mål. Det skrivs även om elitistiska kunskapsgemenskaper, vilka är en utveckling av kunskapsgemenskaper. Skillnaden mellan de två typerna ligger i att de elitistiska grundar sig i tidigare meriter istället för engagemang.

The aim of this Master's thesis was to examine the political and cultural reasons for making music materials compulsory at Danish public libraries by the new library act of 2000. The aim was also to examine how the public libraries have responded to this reform. To answer these questions a literature study was conducted as well as interviews. The results of the literature study indicated that the main reason for making music materials compulsory is to increase the influence of the library users. The study of the debate concerning the new library act showed that a majority of the Danish political parties as well as the Danish library organizations had a positive attitude towards the new obligation.

Reverse logistics is getting more and more attention both from companies and the public. It is an area with the possibility for companies to do good in the eyes of the public. This work focus on the return system of a one-way handling material called the loading ledge. The loading ledge is developed by IKEA as a substitute for the EUR-pallet in transports from suppliers with a long distance and even flow and in transports from suppliers with short distance and uneven flow. The loading ledge is made out of 100 % recyclable plastic.The purpose of this work is to find the most efficient set-up for recycling of loading ledges within IKEA on a European level from a transport and handling point of view considering aspects like cost, environment, time and, from an administrative point of view, user-friendliness.Who will the participants of the set-up be, where will they be located, which transports are needed and which income and costs does the set-up generate, are questions that will be answered.

Syftet med denna studie är att skapa en helhetsbild av vilka attityder som finns kring tv- och dataspel som läromedel inom gymnasieskolan. Utifrån detta så kan man sedan se vart någonstans skolan ligger i denna utveckling. Eleverna och lärarna som deltog i denna studie har alla olika inriktningar samt ämnen då det är helhetsbilden som denna studie fokuserar på.Materialet till denna studie är en enkätundersökning samt djupintervjuer som komplettering. Enkätundersökningen fick ett bortfall från 197 till 154 då det var många elever som inte tog enkätundersökningen seriöst men antalet som fyllde i enkäterna var ändå bra procentuellt.När det gäller lärarnas attityder så är materialet en fokusgrupp som hade olika tv-spels trailers som underlag och fick utifrån det diskutera värdet av spelet som läromedel. Lärarna som deltog i undersökningen var från samma arbetslag men hade aldrig tidigare diskuterat tv- och dataspel som läromedel under sina möten och hade alla olika ämnen.Resultatet visar att det finns ett stort intresse av tv- och dataspel.

This project started when LIC Audio AB wanted help with development of a hearing aid for public rooms. The problem is that a lot of people suffer from some sort of hearing impairment. In places with a lot of people and background noise the problem becomes bigger and the sound seems to flow together. During the project we found the solution for the problem in the shape of a headphone. The headphone receives a signal from a preinstalled hearing loop.

Alla spelutvecklare har någonting att vinna på att kunna ge spelaren tydligare minnen av spelvärldar. I denna uppsats undersöks hur plattformsmoment kan användas för att förstärka mentala kartor. Respondenter har letat sig igenom en labyrint baserad på spelet Brain Fudge med olika grader av gravitation, och resultatet tyder på att besvärligare plattformsutmaningar gör det svårare för spelare att få en bild av spelvärlden som helhet..

The increasing public concern regarding the government?s priorities in spending public resources puts pressure on public organisations to address quality issues in their practice. In United Kingdom both BRTF (Better Regulation Task Force) (BIS, 2005b) and the Hampton report (BIS, 2005a) highlighted management and quality problems in public organisations in UK. These reports revealed obstacles within institutions? intent to offer recommendations and appropriate solutions for agencies working with legal enforcement and control.
