English title: Julia and the elite. A study of how the Internet hatred developed into a media avalanche.Introduction: During February 2013 Swedish media flooded with news of online hate directed towards women after an episode of Uppdrag Granskning on SVT (2013). Female media profiles were given the opportunity to tell the entire Swedish population about the hate and threats they had been exposed to online.

Saab har utvecklat en produkt, Remote Tower, som tillåter flygledningen att fjärrstyra en flygplats, det vill säga att övervaka och kontrollera en flygplats på distans. Ett viktigt verktyg för flygledarna är VCS, Voice Communication System, som är Saabs egna röstkommunikationssystem, där både radio- och telefonkommunikation ingår. VCS används för att kommunicera med piloter och markpersonal på flygplatsen. Målet är att i framtiden kunna fjärrstyra fler flygplatser samtidigt, och då finns ett behov att visualisera de inkommande samtalen från de olika flygplatserna i realtid. Detta för att undvika ett scenario där flygledaren missar ett samtal.

Taltidningen är en inläst tidning som personer med svårigheter att läsa en vanlig tidning kan få. Tidningen sänds förvrängd via radio så att endast prenumeranter skall ha tillgång till den. Förvrängningen kräver att prenumeranter har en särskild typ av mottagare hemma. Mottagaren som används idag spelar in tidningen på ett kassettband som sedan kan lyssnas av på vilken bandspelare som helst. Mottagarna är dock dyra att underhålla och det är svårt att få tag på nya.

The aim of the study was to examine how Swedish tabloid journalism presented the contestants in the Swedish version of the reality show Idol 2009. We wanted to see which approaches tabloid news papers use when constructing the public identities of them. We have used text analysis to examine 37 articles and nine front pages with focus on the words, propositions, comparisons and parables that describe four of the contestants. In addition we have looked at myths and connotations shown in the pictures by using a semiotic analysis. The results show that the Swedish tabloids tend to describe the contestants in relation to their performances and personalities.

In this thesis I'm trying to examine the meaning potential of visual elements and layout in a Swedish newspaper front page and the same newspaper's website's start page, drawing on theories about multimodality and social semiotics developed mainly by Theo van Leeuwen and Gunther Kress. The study is focusing on Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet and the website aftonbladet.se and compares these three different days. In this thesis I also try to examine what the newspaper communicate about its identity through the different visual components. My conclusion is that visual elements and layout have a great importance regarding what a newspaper communicate about how the news articles should be read, but what can be said about a company's identity mostly depend on the genre the newspaper belongs to and how well the reader knows that particular genre..

Aid effectiveness is a reoccuring theme in the social sciences. Maybe rightfully so, as development is slow in many parts of the developing world. Core literature on the matter seems to suggest that aid effectiveness is contingent on recipients? level of corruption. Assuming this to be true, I examine the EU?s disbursements of Official Development Assistance over the past decade by running regressions: is there a relationship between the level of aid received, and a country?s level of corruption? As the EU is one of the largest donors of foreign aid globally, and has the power to shape the global foreign aid agenda, this question puts to the test whether the EU is leading the way, or rather is an obstacle in front.

Inom ramen för kandidatexamen i Digital Ljudproduktion har jag befunnit mig på praktik på ett produktionsbolag vid namn Donadoni AB. Under vårterminen 2011 har jag i samband med praktiken gjort ett arbete som syftar till att ta reda på vilka faktorer man bör man ta hänsyn till i en radioreklamproduktion samt vad som kännetecknar en effektiv radioreklam. I arbetet tar jag upp utsagor från t.ex. Per Robert Öhlin, som bl.a. säger "Att exponera sig är inte samma sak som att beröra någon" (Öhlin, 2009;16) Med hjälp av denna litteratur har jag analyserat, utifrån mitt syfte, de produktioner jag har deltagit i.
