De senaste åren har mjölkbesättningarna i Sverige förändrats. Det mest dominerande sättet har varit att hålla korna bundna men efterhand som mjölkgårdarna har rationaliserats och blivit modernare har det blivit vanligare att många lantbrukare ställt om till lösdrift. År 2007 bestämde jordbruksverket att alla nya stallar som ska byggas för mjölkkor ska vara lösdriftssystem, vilket innebär att våra bundna besättningar kommer försvinna i framtiden. Det här examensarbetet har ställt frågan till mjölkproducenter med bundna kor hur de ser på framtiden för sina besättningar. Idag (2011) finns det 348 100 mjölkkor i Sverige. Av dem står ungefär hälften i uppbundna system.

Abstract The increased focus on social capital theory has made its way into labour economics. This has led to the creation of a vast literature about the use of networks and informal search methods in the labour-market, a literature that to some extent also deals with immigrants search behaviour and their relatively high unemployment rate. Characteristic for the literature in the area is the lack of analysis of actual networks. Which types of contacts do these networks contain; how are the networks used in the labour-market; and which type of network generates a high amount of social capital. These questions are important for the general understanding of how social capital functions, within the labour-market, but also for the understanding of how immigrants use their networks in order to find themselves jobs.

Vi har i detta arbete med hjälp av genomförda djupintervjuer, samt tidigare forskning i ämnet försökt att belysa åtta individers "resa" genom utbildningssamhället. Detta från ganska enkla förhållanden, till positioner som kan betraktas som tämligen unika sett till deras ursprung, samtid och samhällsklass. Vi har utifrån dessa personers berättelser sedan försökt knyta an till den allmänna samhällsutvecklingen, likväl som utbildningssituationen sett över tid. Detta för att på så sätt åstadkomma en helhetsbild i ämnet. Intervjumaterialet har sedan sammanställts i olika teman där intressanta beröringspunkter men även särskiljande drag lyfts fram.

ABSTRACT. In the late 1960?s all the wolves in Scandinavia went extinct in the wild due to extensive hunting. In 1983 two new wolves immigrated and founded, together with a third immigrant in 1991, the population that exists today. Due to the fact that the population originates from less than a handful of individuals, the genetic variation is small.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to highlight who represents elderly immigrants and apply the theory of social exclusion. We chose channels for representation that we found important in relation to this group. The first part is a study of available litterature of the subject. We found three main arenas: participation in elections, participation in associations and clubs and representation in political institutions. The findings showed a democratic deficit among elderly immigrants, which gave an indication of social exclusion from the political arena and from participation in associations.For the second part we decided to concentrate on the arena of participation in associations and clubs that represent the elderly and/or immigrants.

Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att utifrån perspektivet att socionomer inom olika verksamheter är i behov av att veta hur ickeheterosexuella kvinnor känner sig bemötta i samhället ta reda på just de subjektiva beskrivningarna av detta. Detta har gjorts genom intervjuer med sex stycken ickeheterosexuella kvinnor i åldern 20 till 45 år. Materialet har visat att synlighet i media kan spela roll för samhällets attitydförändringar. De senare årens lagar har också av mina intervjupersoner upplevts spela roll för attityderna. Även ålder och generation verkar kunna spela roll när det gäller öppenhet och attityder till ickeheterosexuella kvinnor..

The reason for performing an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is to incorporate environmental concern in different kinds of plans and projects. The purpose of such an assessment is to identify and describe direct, indirect and cumulative environmental impacts.Geographical Information System (GIS) is a tool that can be used to combine spatial extension of both sensitive areas and different environmental impacts in a quick and easy way. Because of that, descriptions of environmental impacts and motivation of different standpoints on a specific issue can be more correct and easier to make if GIS is used as a tool.Hence, GIS can contribute to improve the quality of Environmental Impact Assessments. If the benefits of using GIS are to out weight the costs, geographical information of satisfactory detail, actuality and accuracy need to be available at reasonable prices.In this paper, case studies are carried out for three different geographical analyses to investigate the use of GIS as a tool in EIA. From these case studies, more general conclusions about the benefits and limitations of using GIS for Environmental Impact Assessments are also drawn.

Denna kvalitativa studie behandlar invandrarungdomars upplevelser av integration i det svenska samhället. För att uppfylla studiens syfte har 10 invandrarungdomar födda i ett utomeuropeiskt land intervjuats. De frågeställningar som varit till grund för studien är vilka erfarenheter har ungdomarna av att integreras i det svenska samhället, vad underlättar integration och vad kan vara hinder för integration? Respondenterna belyser samtliga fyra teman som har lyfts fram i studien, dessa teman är umgängeskrets, utanförskap, förutsättningar och hinder för en bra integration. Det framkommer att samtliga av respondenterna enbart umgås med andra ungdomar med invandrarbakgrund, detta främst för att de känner en större samhörighet med invandrarungdomarna men även också för att de ?förstår? varandra bättre.

Central labour market actors have come to an agreement ? Sweden is going to need labour migration. In spite of the agreement the actors disagree upon how the labour migration should be designed. This essay examines how the union organisation, LO presents labour migration in their rapports during the years 2000-2006. This is done through Laclau and Mouffes discourse theory and a merge with postcolonial theory.

Aim: The aim of this present study was to assess the dental caries prevalence in children and adolescents aged 3-19 in the Nordic countries, and to examine if the caries prevalence is affected by socioeconomic and cultural differences.Method: The study is a literature review based on 20 scientific medical reports based on the aim of this study.Result: Decayed missed filled surfaces (dmfs) of the 3-year-olds varies from 0.3 to 0.99 and from 0.9 to 7.3 in 5-year-old children. The Nordic 12-year-olds have similar numerical values. In Nordic 14-year-olds caries prevalence increases. In the late teens there is a reduction in caries prevalence. Children at Greenland have five times more teeth decayed than other Danish children.

Då konkurrensen om den bästa arbetskraften idag är hård har det blivit allt viktigare att framstå som en attraktiv arbetsgivare, varför många företag arbetar med aktiviteter som på senare tid kommit att rymmas under begreppet employer branding. Men hur går detta arbete till i praktiken? Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur företag kan arbeta med employer branding för att framstå som en attraktiv arbetsgivare i teknologstudenters ögon. Den tidigare forskning och de teorier som studien utgått ifrån rör dels employer branding, vilket handlar om att förmedla en tydlig bild om vad som gör en arbetsgivare unik och åtråvärd, och dels "Generation Y" vilket huvudsakligen avser 80-talister och handlar om deras livsuppfattningar och värderingar, där fokus i denna studie är deras krav och förväntningar på arbetsmarknaden. För att skapa sig en bättre förståelse kring hur företag kan arbeta med employer branding gentemot teknologstudenter har det gjorts en empirisk studie, dels i form av två samtalsintervjuer med två svenska storföretag som av studenter anses vara attraktiva arbetsgivare, och dels genom två fokusgruppsintervjuer med teknologstudenter.

The purpose of this study was to find out what some young adults who have grown up in Husby themselves for perception of the area, what do they think they brought with them of their childhood there, and find out what they think others do not live in Husby has view of the area. In our study we also tried to find out what the young adults raised in Husby think about the media's influence on public perception of the area Husby, and what they think about the neighborhood's future. The main results that we believe we have come up with is that the media seems to have a big role in the creation of our beliefs. The respondents indicate that they think the media portrays an unfair picture of the suburb and its inhabitants. We believe it is very important that people meet to avoid the categories "us" and "them" to be formed.

This thesis examines Swedish filmmakers' modes of work and production within the Swedish film landscape. An introductory historical overview treats the Swedish regionalization since the mid 1990's. Political and economical aspects of producing films in various regions serve as a background for understanding the new generation of decentralised Swedish filmmaking, and the use of sound and music in contemporary film. The analysis consists of empirical studies; interviews with directors and producers, working with music for film and TV. Although the filmmaking perspective is in focus, composers and film scholars are heard as well.

The aim of the study is to analyse the stories of four homosexual women with Muslim backgrounds about coming out as homosexuals, from an intersectional perspective. The experience of coming out as lesbian and the intersectionality are related to different social contexts. The homosexuality becomes a problem in connection to family and countrymen while the Muslim background becomes more of a problem in relationships. Heteronormativity and gender system appear to be cooperating systems of oppression.These women don?t describe themselves as oppressed, but potential oppression is still something that influences their lives.
