Memes och kulturella artefakter
We chose to base our literature study on the meme phenomena. The meme is a portion of culture that is spread among us from mind to mind. Every time we learn something by copying others we use information that has been passed on from a previous person, that information can be seen as a meme. The theoretical frame for our methodology in our exam paper is founded on Forsberg och Wengström research on literature studies. Our aim is to describe to the reader in depth what a meme is and how they could be helpful in an academic and pedagogical setting.
Our study will show how memes are seen predominantly as graphic designs and as artifacts for cultural representation parallel to their imagery.

?Sexiness with humor : those things are normal for me? - Undersökning av kvinnlig och manlig maskerad i några utav David LaChapelles bilder
David LaChapelle gör bilder som ofta är ganska provocerande i sitt uttryck eftersom de ofta föreställer mer eller mindre avklädda kvinnor och män i sexuellt laddade situationer. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka ett par av LaChapelles bilder ur ett genusperspektiv med utgångspunkt i konstvetaren Norman Brysons text ?Géricault and ?Masculinity?. I denna text diskuterar Bryson detta med manlig och kvinnlig maskerad genom att bland annat hävda att även männen är utsatta för den manliga betraktarens blick. Detta med framställningen av kvinnligt och manligt är själva grunden för denna uppsats.

SEB Merchant Banking provides to its institutional customers a true market neutral product called Dynamic Manager Alpha (DMA). The DMA is constructed by a long position in an exceptionally well performing mutual fund and a beta adjusted short position in an appropriate index. The key to making the product market neutral is adjusting with the correct beta, since the beta changes, it is very important to have a good model for predicting beta in the future.This master thesis begins with describing what beta is in a CAPM sense. It then continues with recognizing the so called ?Two Beta Trap?, which separates two kinds of beta.

"Det värsta som kan hända är att jag skär mig" : En studie om unga kvinnors upplevelser av självskadebeteende
The aim of this study was to examine self-harming women?s own experiences. To try and raise understanding and awareness about how they themselves create their identity and meaning round the self-harming behaviour. Our three questions were; how do the young women conceive society?s reactions on their self-harming behaviour? Do the young women express an imposed or self-elected alienation? If so, in what way? In what way do the young self-harming women construe their own identity in relation to the self-harming behaviour?We have used a narrative approach when we have examined the blogs as life stories in the sense that all our lives and everything in them is a story by definition.
Personers upplevelser av att leva med amputerat ben: En litteraturstudie
Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva personers upplevelser av att leva med amputerat ben. 11 vetenskapliga artiklar analyserades med manifest innehållsanalys. Analysen resulterade i fem kategorier; att inte vara hel som människa och uppleva kroppen som främmande; att bli begränsad i aktiviteterna; att vara beroende av stöd och hjälp från andra; att känna rädsla för att bli dömd av andra; att återanpassa sig till det dagliga livet efter amputationen. Litteraturstudien visade att personer med amputerat ben upplevde att behovet av stöd var viktigt, att det dagliga livet blev begränsat och att de upplevde sig stigmatiserade av andra människor. Det framkom även att de upplevde fantomkänslor och fantomsmärtor.
Effekter av AktiVERA-projektet på långtidssjukskrivna arbetstagare i Bjuvs Kommun
Syfte:Att se om en positiv effekt av ett interventionsprojekt i gruppen långtidssjukskrivna kan påvisas utöver den intuitiva nytta som förutsågs.Undersökt grupp och metod:7 långtidssjukskrivna kvinnor inom vård och omsorg med anställning i Bjuvs Kommun erbjuds ett aktiveringsprojekt kallat AktiVERA. Detta innebar gruppmöten med representation av arbetsgivaren, företagshälsovården och det lokala Försäkringskassekontoret samt friskvårdsinsatser och förväntan om att ta aktiv del i rehabiliteringsprocessen.De 7 fallen matchades med 7 kontroller och de sammanlagt 14 individerna fick i två omgångar besvara enkäterna Subjective Health Complaints (SHC) och Sense of Coherence (SOC) med knappt 6 månaders intervall.Resultat/diskussion:Resultatet av projektet blev inte helt oväntat väsentligen oförändrad grad av arbetsförmåga och utfall i de båda enkäterna Subjective Health Complaints (SHC) och Sense of Coherence (SOC). Någon statistiskt signifikant förändring av enkätufallen som resultat av interventionen kunde inte ses med den använda metoden parad T-test.Detta kan förklaras av att den undersökta gruppen var liten och att observationstiden på knappa 6 månader för förhållanden med lång förändringslatens. Emellertid kan man fortsatt hävda intuitiv nytta av den här typen av intervention hos långtidssjukskrivna. Sammantaget framkom också bekräftande uppgifter om nedsatta salutogena faktorer och vulnerabilitet i gruppen övre medelålders kvinnor med anställning inom vård och omsorg.Slutsats:Någon positiv effekt kunde inte säkert påvisas men intuitiv nytta har säkert förelegat och interventionen som sådan är lovvärd i en grupp där lidandet är stort parallellt med stora samhällsekonomiska konsekvenser.Referens:1.
