Taiwan's recent democratization seem to have rallied a wider support of the notion of a national identity amongst its citizens which in the year 2000 led to the election of the pro-independence party DPP and President Chen Shui-bian. Meanwhile, China insists on the "one country, two systems" formula, regarding Taiwan as merely a Chinese province, and continues to fight any Taiwanese initiative towards sovereignty. Through a narrative perspective, this essay analyzes the self-conscious national identity-building quest embarked upon by DPP and President Chen Shui-bian. The analysis consists of three parts. Firstly, a text-analysis of President Chen Shui-bian's speeches is conducted to examine in what way he enforces and legitimizes the identity-building-process through narratives.

Har produktivitetsutvecklingen i det svenska skogsbruket stagnerat, och har detta i så fall något att göra med debatten om dålig lönsamhet för skogsmaskinföretag? Denna kvalitativa studie undersöker skogsmaskinföretagaren, vem hon eller han är samt vilken relation denne har till uppdragsgivaren. Studien försöker även identifiera potentiella källor i verksamheten för effektivitetsförbättringar och kostnadseffektivisering.Teorin som används till att lösa uppgiften härstammar från: entreprenörskapsteori, Relations-marknadsföring samt prissättningsteori. Det empiriska materialet har samlats in från 12 semi-strukturerade intervjuer med skogsmaskinföretagare i Småland, Västerbotten och Uppland. I syntesen av teorin och det empiriska materialet identifierades två grupper av skogs-maskinföretagare, där den ena gruppen speciellt lämpar sig att i dialog med uppdragsgivaren samt deras kunder utveckla branschen.

English title: Is a literary canon necessary? A comparative study based on seven senior high school teachers´ different approaches towards the place of canon in the education of Swedish. The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze how seven senior high school teachers relate to a literary canon in Swedish while teaching literature in senior high school, identifying similarities and differences among the teachers? view and opinions about an outspoken formal literary canon and a silent, informal canon.The earlier research opens the door slightly to the American debate and gives insight about the complexity of the concept of canon. The study continues with exploring possible Relations to postcolonial theory and didactics.    The study reveals that the majority of the concerns against canon are that too much centrally governed education may decrease the motivation and commitment of the teacher. In addition, the dominant canon passivizes a certain variety of literature, thus various points of views. On the other hand, views on the equalizing effect of canon on the level of education and its benefits in increased knowledge of the history of the literature are salient. .
