Syftet med denna magisteruppsats är att belysa hur bosnienserbiska public servicejournalister upplever den journalistiska yrkesrollen, den redaktionella vardagen och den samhälleliga kontexten som de befinner sig i. Journalister på Radijo Televizija Republike Srpske, RTRS, har stått i centrum för undersökningen som är av kvalitativt slag. Två datainsamlingsmetoder användes ? samtalsintervjuundersökning och frågeundersökning. Båda genomfördes på redaktionen i Banja Luka.

This paper aims to shine a light on the challenges connected to the implementation of a process focused way of thinking in a public service organization. To this we have conducted a series of qualitative interviews, primarily from participants of a university driven project. The project aims to teach decision making employees of public service organizations how to use process modeling techniques to increase their efficiency. We have also interviewed the teachers who have taught the courses included in the project. As a final point of view we have also interviewed a researcher and IT consultants to compare novice users with experienced users of process modeling techniques.

Villa Giacomina med park ligger 5 kilometer norr om Lidköping i ett område som idag nästan har vuxit ihop med själva staden. Detta examensarbete behandlar Villa Giacominas historia ur miljöns innehåll idag i avseende vegetation och fasta strukturer, samt presenterar ett koncept till framtida bevarande, vård, restaurering och förnyelse. I ett eget kapitel beskrivs även översiktligt parkens användning genom århundradena. År 1979 i samband med att Lidköpings kommun tog över förvaltningen av parken byggnadsminnesförklarades Villa Giacominas park. I parken har varje tid och person satt sin prägel, därför kan man använda Villa Giacomina som ett titthål för att förstå trädgårdshistorien i Sverige från sent 1700-tal och in på 2000-talet. I fallet med denna park, och det ibland bristfälliga faktaunderlaget, är det också intressant att göra det omvända, att genom trädgårdsarkeologiska spår och vad som finns bevarat från andra parker ifrån samma tid fundera kring om det kanske kan ha varit så även på Villa Giacomina. Parken växte fram under sent 1700-tal och dess placering styrdes av landskapets utformning, det sluttande läget ner mot Kinneviken, den kuperade marken och beståndet av gamla träd. Parken var till en början ett eremitage för Claes Julius Ekeblad, pensionerad hovman från Gustav III:s hov. Claes Julius Ekeblad hade vuxit upp på Stola säteri och efter ett liv i Stockholm flyttade han hem till Västergötland och valde här att leva ett liv i samklang med naturen.

The purpose of this master's thesis is to examine how the public library communicates with young users through the library web sites. Four Swedish public library web pages for children are analysed. In the analysis the web pages are treated as a combination of semiotic resources that, communicating as a whole, hold a meaning potential. In order to identify the underlying meaning of the whole I have applied the tools of Kress' & van Leeuwen's visual social semiotics to the chosen web pages.The information value, the framing and the salience of each composition is examined and analysed, as is the size of frame, the perspective and the vertical angle of a selection of images from each web page. The results of the semiotic analysis are then discussed and related to Jochumsen et al:s four space-model and the notion of ?child perspective? and ?empowerment?.The results show that the child perspective is strongest on the web pages that represent the performative space as dominating and that empowerment is mainly represented as ?doing?, ?participating? and the ?free choice?.

Nytt operahus på Frihamnspiren blir en ny attraktionspunkt för den framtida stadsdelen. Byggnaden skapar ett eget skärgårdslandskap längst ut på piren och möjliggör för kollektiv båttrafik, gästhamn samt en ny park. Den arkitektoniska idén baseras på den dominanta gatan som ger piren en tydlig riktning och drar människor till platsen. Genom att att låta stråket förlängas genom byggnaden och avslutas i en stor foajé, skapas ett naturligt flöde genom byggnadens offentliga del. Foajén erbjuder bland annat en fantastisk utsikt mot havet..

The thesis explores how the category religion is used discursively in Swedish public debates and in what way the discourses can be related to debate-positions. The thesis also exploresquestions of power and how social identities are negotiated: which identities are madepossible ? and encouraged ? by the discourse, and which are being excluded?The specific cases chosen are: (i) the election of Omar Mustafa as a substitute member of the governing board of the Social Democratic party in April 2013, (ii) the appointment of Elisabeth Svantesson as Minister of employment in September 2013, (iii) the debate concerning male circumcision (2011-2013), and, (iv) the debate about Jewish home education(2012-2013).The theoretical and methodological perspectives used in the thesis are discourse analysis and Pierre Bourdieu?s theory of social fields, usually interwoven together. Discourse analysis is mainly used to explore how the category of religion is attached to central binaries in the debates such as faith/politics, private/public, secularism/fundamentalism, etc., and also how chains of equivalences are established. Bourdieu?s theory of social fields is used tocontextualize the discourses in the specific debates and relate them to orthodox and heterodox debate-positions.

På uppdrag av GGP Sweden AB genomfördes detta projekt med syftet att ta fram en ny extriör design till Stigas åkgräsklipparemodell Park Compact.Brukarnas estetiska och funktionella behov undersöktes genom grundlig informationsinsamling i form av marknads- och konkurrentanalyser, brukar- och säljarintervjuer samt enkätundersökning. Med hjälp av insamlad data kunde produktens målgrupp identiferas, varpå primära och sekundära personas utformades. Genom dessa kunde brukarbehoven kompletteras och preciseras ytterligare.För att behålla Stigakänslan i produkten genomfördes en form- och färganalys av företagets befintliga sortiment. Tillsammans med övrig data från informationsinsamlingen mynnade denna analys ut i en moodboard som kunde användas för att på ett tidigt stadium visualisera känslan hos produkten.Data från informationsinsamlingen låg sedan till grund för att utforma en kravspecifikation och där visa de krav och önskemål som projektet förväntas uppfylla. Produktens viktigaste egenskaper framhölls som en modern exteriör design som passar nuvarande konstruktionsplattform, bibehåller familjekänslan med övriga Stigasortimentet samt har mindre direkt materialkostnad än nuvarande designlösning.

This study investigates the use of the social network Facebook among 67 Swedish libraries; 27 academic libraries and 40 public libraries. Data is collected through an analysis of the libraries? Facebook pages and through an email survey. To analyze the data, a series of statistical analyses were performed.The results indicate that the public libraries more actively posted Facebook updates than the academic libraries and that the libraries that had a policy for use of Facebook/social media more actively posted updates than those libraries that did not have such policy. The libraries use Facebook mainly to post links and photos and to announce events, provide book recommendations, and to emphasize special occasions.

In this essay I have tried to come close to a probable answer to the following question: Is there a risk that the trust between the Swedish public and the Swedish medical services staff, including the doctors, will be severely damaged if euthanasia is legalized in Sweden.In order to try to answer that question, and some other relevant questions that has corresponding interest in the context that euthanasia marks, I have done like this: I have investigated experiences from the Netherlands and from Oregon. Since euthanasia is legalized - though partly in different forms - in both these sites. I have then tried to relate the most relevant parts of these experiences to a theoretical frame. This frame had been set up by three concepts: the sanctity of life, autonomy and trust.I have also tried to come close to understanding the impact that demands for autonomy has in this context. And I have tried to understand if the trust that the public has for a country´s medical services staff and the actual doctors is a form of trust that ought to be understood as a form of trust incorporated in social capital.I have come to the conclusion that there is no great risk that the trust between the Swedish public and the Swedish medical services staff, including the doctors, will be severely damaged if euthanasia is legalized in Sweden.

The aim of this thesis is to investigate how the indexing of fiction for adults looks like in the public libraries that don?t buy indexed records for fiction from Bibliotekstjänst (BTJ). The questions that I want these libraries to answer is: - Public libraries that index fiction for adults themselves: 1. What tools do they use when indexing?, 2.

The Public vs. private movement has over the past decades identified numerous significant differences between public and private organizations. The observed differences covers almost every field in administrative economics ranging from organizational structure, management accounting, goal-setting and in the past few years even leadership. Strangely, in the majority of these studies little or no regards are given to organizational characteristics or fundamental differences between compared organizations and if these organizations really are comparable when studying the effect of sector.The aim of this study is to compare leadership in relatively similar organizations from both the public and private sector and so clarify if earlier identified differences in leadership styles still surface when leaders working with approximately the same thing in a similar work context are studied.A sample of 348 Swedish principals was drawn from both municipal and private elementary schools. The respondents answered a web-based survey based on the CPE-model resulting in leadership styles mapped according to three orientations: change, production and employee.

The aim of this study is to examine how work at music departments in public libraries has changed with time. To analyze this, the role of music libraries as well as music library users, selection, holdings, acquisition and technological development have been examined. The examined data consists of qualitative interviews with music librarians and library assistants at public libraries in Sweden. To get a time perspective, handbooks and articles about music departments in libraries have also been analyzed.This study emanates from Sanna Talja?s discourse analysis of music libraries in Finland.

The aim of this thesis is to explore how librarians approach to and knowledge of young people can be seen in their work methods and in activities arranged for young people. I also want to investigate other factors that librarians think can affect how they work. Five interviews were carried out with five librarians who worked with young people at public libraries. The literature review covers; young peoples needs and leisure activities, young peoples attitudes to libraries, activities arranged for them and towards departments for young people at public libraries. Literature dealing with librarians` attitudes and knowledge of young people was also included.

The public library is an institution that throughout history has been associated with anumber of social codes, that seem to be deeply rooted in the minds of the public. Thesecodes regulates how users act and interact in the library environment and as a library useryou have to obtain knowledge about these social codes.This master's thesis aims at studying how these codes are transferred to children in the earlyschool-age, how children react to the social codes and what effects they have on thechildren's development into library users.The empirical material used in this study consists of observations and interviews. Theobservations are conducted during two school classes visits to a public library and focuseson the interaction between librarians, the children and their teachers, and the interviewswere conducted with the two librarians responsible for the library visits.The theories used in this master's thesis consists of symbolic interactionism, in the form oftheories by George Herbert Mead and Erving Goffman, Peter L. Berger and ThomasLuckmanns theories regarding the concept of institutions. Another theory that's used in thismaster's thesis is the one concerning the social aspects of information literacy focusing onthe concept of epistemic communities as presented by Kimmo Tuominen, Reijo Savolainenand Sanna Talja.The result of this study is that the social codes are communicated to the children primarilyby the teachers rather than the librarians.
