Att genom rekryteringsprocessen söka finna en matchning mellan individ och organisation på en bredare basis än endast yrkeskompetens blir allt vanligare. Sådan rekrytering har fokus på överensstämmande värderingar och normer mellan den arbetssökande och organisationen, som ny medarbetare ska denne passa in i organisationen och dess kultur. Byråkrati, i sin tur, är den moderna statens vanligaste organisationsform och bygger i grunden på expertis, kunskap och professionen. Om trenden går mot att rekrytera med fokus på organisationen, dess kultur och att människor ska passa in i den, vad kan det innebära? På vilket sätt påverkas professionen av detta? Denna studie undersöker hur organisationer med uttalad fokus på matchning mellan individ och organisationskultur resonerar kring sin rekrytering och den inbördes organisationskulturen.

Internetfenomenet ?Distributed Denial of Service?, förkortat DDoS, beskrivs ofta som ett av de största hoten mot Internet idag. Genom att utnyttja den grundläggande strukturen i kommunikation mellan nätverk och datorer kan kriminella blockera och stänga ute webbplatser och -tjänster från användare, samtidigt som det är mycket svårt för offret och myndigheter att någonsin identifiera den eller de skyldiga. Enorma globala nätverk av ovetande människors infekterade datorer fjärrstyrs till att utföra angrepp mot alla sorters organisationer på Internet med olika motiv, som finansiella, politiska eller för ren vandalism. Syftet med det här arbetet är att göra en dagsaktuell kartläggning över läget kring DDoS-angrepp och titta på statistik över de mest förekommande angreppstyperna, och se om den nyare publicerade forskningen kan svara på de pågående och framträdande trender som kan ses.

The aim of this essay was to investigate what images are conveyed through Swedish daily press and to discuss the possible consequences of these images for librarians and users of the library. What discourses can be identified in the material; how are librarians and their profession described in the press; what attitude can be detected towards librarians and in what contexts are librarians discussed, are questions that were asked. Discourse analysis was used as theory and method. A discourse can be understood as a certain way of talking about and understanding the world. 55 articles from the period of January 1^st 2002 to March 7^th 2003 were analysed with the help of a model.

Under de senaste åren finns en ökad uppmärksamhet i att kunna förutspå konkurs och andra former av ekonomiska kriser. Vissa forskare menar att konkursprediktion har varit huvudforskningsämne inom redovisning och finans sedan Altmans studie från 1968. Under åren har flera modeller vuxit fram och tidigare forskning har påvisat att konkurs kan förutspås med en hög grad av tillförlitlighet.Denna uppsats har som utgångspunkt Altmans studie från 1968. 66 företag har undersökts i tre år mellan åren 2000 och 2010, varav hälften av företagen har inlett konkurs och den resterande hälften är så kallade friska företag (ej konkurs). Detta i syfte för att undersöka om Altmans konkurspredektionsmodell Z??-score kan appliceras på svenska företag inom service och informationsteknikbranschen.De 33 friska företagen har jämförts mot de 33 konkursförsatta företagen och sedan sammanslagits för en total procentuell klassificering.Vår studie visar att 14 av 33 konkurssatta företag visar tecken på konkurs ett år innan konkurs inleddes.

Purpose ? The purpose of this thesis is to develop a total cost model for container transports and create a tool that calculates a suitable transport quantity from an economic view, which fulfills the demands on delivery service. To achieve this purpose the following questions will be answered:Which costs are affected by the decision between the two transport alternatives LCL and FCL?   How does the decision of sending product LCL or FCL influence the delivery service?  How can a tool be constructed to simplify the decision-making process regarding the choice of sending products LCL or FCL?  Method ? A total cost model was developed. This model is supported from existing literature.
