This masters thesis consists of a translation of acts I-IV from Dion Boucicault?s play London Assurance, a theoretical comment on the translation and a comparative study of asides. It is divided into four parts: an introduction, presenting the work and my translation strategy, as well as a short stylistic analysis; source text and translation; a theoretical comment, mainly based on theories from the field of Translation Studies, but also theories on lingustics and literature; and a comparative study of the use of asides as a theatrical convention in English and Swedish drama.The main focus of my translation strategy is to keep or adapt features that give the audience a sense of the cultural context where the play takes place, as well as the time ? fashionable society in early Victorian England, while providing a text that is performable and speakable for the actors, and which preserves the humor present in the source text. .

Background                      European football has during the past decades seen a fast development towards a more professionalized and commercialized climate. This had led to the fact that a lot of clubs are run like any other company, and the focus on marketing and market shares has increased. To be able to create a strong brand clubs have to put a lot of work into marketing, not only of their own brand, but of their sponsors and partners as well.Purpose                              The purpose of this study is to (in step 1) analyze how two smaller Swedish football clubs build their brand and work with their marketing communication. In step 2, the purpose is to create a model of how these clubs may work to develop their brand and marketing communication.Method                              With a qualitative approach, the authors of this paper have analyzed text and documents as well as performed two in-depth interviews.Findings                             Both clubs lack a well-developed strategy regarding their work with their brand and marketing communication. However, there are in both cases factors that, if developed correctly, could help build a stronger brand and better the marketing communication.

This report treats two assignments that concerns the biofuel furnace at Billerud Skärblacka AB and how these assignments were solved. The assignments were: reducing the number of CO-spikes and tuning the overfire air control loop. To reduce the number of CO-spikes the possibility that skewness in mass distribution affects the number of CO-spikes were study. The skewnwss of mass distribution was controled and adjusted with two experiments. The conclusion that was made is that the skewness of mass distribution were not sufficient enough to affect the number of CO-spikes.

Det här arbetet har undersökt hur sex gymnasielärare med olika ämnesprofil diskuterar ochsamtalar kring estetiska lärprocesser. Resultatet utgår från två fokusgruppsintervjuer på två olikagymnasieskolor i sydvästra Sverige. Syftet har varit att genom samtalen få en bild av hur lärarnakonstruerar och legitimerar estetiska lärprocesser i klassrummet samt att utifrån diskussionenidentifiera de diskursiva mönster som framträder i samtalen. Arbetet tar sitt avstamp isocialkonstruktionism och använder diskursanalys som vetenskaplig metod. I analysenframträder fyra diskurser kring vilka lärarna diskuterar de estetiska lärprocesserna.

Denna studie har som syfte att betrakta hur bisatsanvändning hos vuxna avancerade inlärare av svenska som andraspråk ser ut jämfört med inlärare med svenska som modersmål; detta med avseende på både frekvens och variation.För att besvara mina två frågeställningar angående först frekvens och sedan variation har jag valt att granska uppsatser skrivna av L2- och L1-komvuxstuderande som har gått de högskolebehörighetsgivande gymnasiekurserna Svenska som andraspråk B respektive Svenska B på Komvux. Uppsatserna är skrivna som en del i det nationella prov som inlärarna har deltagit i vid slutet av kursen.För att bevara reliabiliteten för denna undersökning har jag utgått ifrån en definition och indelning av bisatser som presenteras i Svenska akademiens grammatik, kallad SAG, och Svenska akademiens språklära, kallad SAS. Genom att söka de bisatser som inlärarna använder och sammanställa dem i jämförelsetabeller har jag lyckats med att kontrollera och jämföra de olika bisatsgrupper och bisatsinledare som L2- respektive L1-inlärare använder.Undersökningen visar att det finns skillnader i bisatsanvändningen mellan dessa två inlärargrupper men att skillnaderna inte är avsevärt stora. Jämfört med L1-texterna har bisatser i L2-texterna högre frekvens vilket kan bero på att L2-uppsatserna i genomsnitt är längre, 800 ord/text gentemot 700 ord/text. Däremot har bisatserna i L2-texterna mindre variation.

Syftet med vår studie är att få en bild av hur elever från år 3 och år 4 uppfattar läxor och pedagogernas avsikter med dessa. Vi har utfört en kvalitativ undersökning där vi intervjuade både pedagoger och elever för att kunna göra en jämförelse mellan deras uppfattningar om läxor. Frågorna vi ställde var helhetsorienterade och höll sig inom samma tema men det har hela tiden funnits utrymme för inflikade frågor under samtalets gång. Enligt pedagogerna och eleverna är läxan en uppgift som görs utanför skolan men som är knuten till skolarbetet. Pedagogerna anser att läxan är till för repetition, färdighetsträning och att öva att ta ansvar.

Corporate Social Responsibility has been defined as the responsibility towards stakeholders and the society in whole and the expression was founded in the 1950´s. Reporting in corporate social responsibility has been termed corporate social disclosure and has been divided into three areas: environment, ethics and human resources. The aim of this study is to explain variations in corporate social disclosure and the different media used by corporations to communicate these disclosures. A survey was conducted, which included all Swedish corporations listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange, and all public-owned corporations. The results show that corporate characteristics such as size, industry and profitability can explain some of the variation in social disclosures and also have an effect on the extent and variation of the media used.

Med denna uppsats ville jag få en djupare förståelse för de faktorer som påverkar elevernas lust och motivation för att läsa matematik. Undersökningar har visat att många elever anser att ämnet matematik är tråkigt. Det finns många faktorer som påverkar motivation och intresset bland annat lärarens sätt att undervisa, familjens situation, klasskamraternas uppfattningar och attityder, innehållet i ämnet, mm.Resultatet av undersökningen visade att framför allt var det innehållet i ämnet som väckte intresse hos eleverna. Eleverna ville se direkta kopplingar mellan det som de läste i skolan och det som skede i vardagslivet. Det var flera elever som ville ha mer utmanande uppgifter och mindre repetition i matematikboken..

This essay conducts a descriptive analysis of the ideas expressed by NATO´s official security strategy "Strategic Concept" from 2010 and the European Union?s security strategy "A Secure Europe in a Better World" from 2003. The purpose of this analysis is to examine whether the ESDP and NATO are compatible with each other when it comes to the role of security policy actor. To do so, I´ve chosen to analyse the actors' security strategies based on three dimensions. These dimensions are: Their view of the international scene, their views on cooperation and their views on how to reach security.

Social policy has now received an increased attention in the European Union. The European welfare states experience a high level of unemployment, which the EU now tries to handle through the European Employment Strategy (EES). The core of this essay is whether the welfare institutions of the European member states are integrating through an institutionalization process or not. Within the EU four different types of welfare models can be identified: the Scandinavian, the Continental, the Southern and the Anglo-Saxon. The welfare models differ in the institutional settings e.g.

Researchers and practitioners have recognized the need for ?transforming? every policy of the company into a competitive advantage tool. Thus, both the pricing approach and the supply chain practices of the firm have emerged as an important determinant of success. In this study, however, we are not only interested in these two aspects, but also in a third one-namely cultural conflicts as an obstacle and challenge. The interaction of the tree factors is extensively presented against the backdrop of Skanska and four of their closest Polish suppliers.

Orsa Besparingsskog has an aim to take nature considerations in relation to the harvested volume and area of the annual felling. Around 15 percent of the acreage and 10 percent of the volume should be set aside. It is important to keep close to those figures to avoid future negative effects on the long-term harvesting planning. The purpose of this study was to use laser scanning data to estimate those proportions. The result showed that the proportion of conservation considerations in the ten selected objects in the study was significantly higher than the target of 15 percent of the acreage and 10 percent of the volume. The result showed a setting aside of 19 percent of the acreage and 17 percent of the volume.
