Denna uppsats undersöker kommungemensam översiktsplanerings funktion som ett verktyg för regional utveckling. Traditionell översiktsplanering sker inom en kommuns gränser för att peka ut önskad samhällsutveckling inom kommunen, men det finns idag exempel på kommuner som i ett försök att greppa komplexa kommunöverskridande frågor genomför delar av sin översiktsplanering tillsammans med närliggande funktionellt sammankopplade kommuner. Först i landet med denna typ av plansamarbete var Linköpings och Norrköpings kommun i Östergötland genom sin plan Gemensam översiktsplan för Linköping och Norrköping som vann laga kraft 2010. Utifrån exemplet Linköping och Norrköping diskuteras i uppsatsen kommungemensam översiktsplanering i förhållande till omkringliggande kommuner, dagens regionala- och kommunala planeringssystem och analyserna ställs mot teorier kring bland annat regionalisering samt storstäders betydelse för samhällsutveckling i en globaliserad värld.Genom textanalys av Linköping och Norrköpings gemensamma översiktsplan, samt intervjuer med nyckelpersoner inom översiktsplanering i de två kommunerna och regionförbundet Östsam har en kärnproblematik belysts i att regionala grepp tas inom kommunal planering för större geografisk yta än vad kommunerna har rådighet över. Den gemensamma planen upplevs få en regional betydelse genom en statusökning gentemot traditionella översiktsplaner och kan tolkas styra den regionala utvecklingen genom att greppa frågor kring samhällsutveckling kopplat till städernas arbetsmarknadsregioner..

IT utgör en stor del av majoriteten av folks vardagliga liv. Smartphones och surfplattor har om möjligt ytterligare ökat vår användning av tekniska enheter och prylar på en daglig basis. Arbetet tas med hem i en större grad med hjälp av laptops, VPN och molnmöjligheter. Mail kan tas emot i princip var och närsomhelst på dygnet. Men hur bra är säkerheten?

This essay concerns the notion of how immigration politics, defined as a political discursive structure that explains and justifies how and why the movement of people into a state's territory is restricted and controlled, has come to present its purpose not as solidarity with the 'immigrants' wanting to enter the state but as a protective measure for the state's citizens. By using discourse theory combined with theories from the International Relations field I attempt to explain why and how such a discourse positions 'immigrants' as a threat to the state.First, I concentrate on why an immigration politics discourse would position 'immigrants' as a threat. I argue that in order for people to construct their identity, the 'outside' what they "are not" has to be repressed. In the same way, the state has to dislocate the "outside" and create threats to uphold its supremacy. These boundaries are set to create a feeling of predictability and security, and ultimately they are a way of making peoples' "world" coherent.

This report is written for a consultant networking company with the purpose to review the development ofthe company's remote connections from a user friendly and security perspective.This includes an investigation of the possibilities to consolidate existing authentication methods foraccessing customers. The problem lies in the amount of methods being used. Through case study wefound that smart cards, SMS-service, software and hardware tokens exist.The only method feasible from a security perspective is smart cards. Since the method is not commonlyused by the company's customers a standardization of it would be counterproductive.Also, the purpose of this report is to investigate how the ongoing internal development of the remoteconnection will affect the company's clients. Within this framework we have also verified a designsuggestion.We interpret, after the completion of the case study, that the internal development of the remoteconnection is marginally affected by legal perspectives.

Kultursatsningar motiveras idag samhällsekonomiskt med kulturens positiva externa effekter i form av kulturturism, multiplikatoreffekter och förbättringar av en regions image. Den här uppsatsen vill infoga ett nytt perspektiv i diskussionen om kulturens samhällsekonomiska nytta genom att lyfta fram den kreativitetshöjande potential som finns i de olika konstnärliga uttrycksformerna som musik, teater, litteratur, bildkonst, dans, o.s.v. En kreativ förmåga att komma på nya idéer har alltid varit viktig för att en ekonomi ska utvecklas. Enligt nya rön ifrån Richard Florida, professor i regional ekonomisk utveckling vid Carnegie Mellon University i Pittsburgh, så står vi dock vid ett nytt ekonomiskt strukturskifte där kreativiteten kommer att spela en alltmer avgörande roll för den ekonomiska tillväxten. Uppsatsens hypotes är att aktiv ?kulturkonsumtion? kan öka kreativitetsnivån hos individer och att kultursatsningar på det sättet bidrar till den regionala ekonomiska tillväxten.
