EU har utropat år 2012 som Europaåret för aktivt åldrande och solidaritet mellan generationerna. Under det här året kommer fokusering ske mot de äldre generationerna i vårt samhälle. Detta kommer man att göra i Sverige genom att belysa och ta upp frågor om hur samhället går att anpassa för de äldre. I Sverige finns det en växande grupp äldre och målet är att se till att dessa människor ska kunna känna sig säkra och självständiga. Det är viktigt för människor att känna att de är viktiga och att de bidrar till samhället.Statistik visar att (De Courcy, 2011) äldre föredrar att bo kvar i sina gamla bostäder.

Titel: Marknadsföring av välgörenhetsorganisationer.Författare: Olof Näslund och Daniel Wallin.Handledare: Carina Bärtfors.Kurs: Kandidatuppsats 15 hp i Företagsekonomi nivå III.Program: Marknadsföringsprogrammet, Linnéuniversitetet, Vårterminen 2011.Syfte: Syftet med vår uppsats är att beskriva hur välgörenhetsorganisationer använder sig av marknadsföring. Vi vill skapa en förståelse för hur organisationerna positionerar sitt varumärke via sin marknadskommunikation på en marknad där det finns ett stort antal aktörersom konkurrerar om de potentiella bidragsgivarna.Metod: Vi har genomfört en kvalitativ studie genom ett deduktivt arbetssätt. Till vår empiriska studie har vi intervjuat sex personer som innehar kommunikationsroller på fyra av de största välgörenhetsorganisationerna i Sverige nämligen:Kristina Tapper, kommunikationsansvarig på Röda korset sydost.Marina Johansson, föreståndare på Röda korset lokalt i Kalmar.Claes Ankarman, insamlare & ansvarig för Svenska kyrkans kampanjer.Dicran Sarafian, marknadschef på UNICEF Sverige.Terése Bergsten, kommunikatör på Rädda barnens regionkontor i Malmö.Karin Wallby, praktiserande kommunikatör på Rädda barnens regionkontor i Malmö.Slutsats: Vi har sett en tendens att konkurrensen har blivit hårdare mellan välgörenhetsorganisationernai kampen om att fånga bidragsgivarnas uppmärksamhet. Vi har även noterat att välgörenhetsorganisationerna själva ser det som ett problem att bidragsgivarna inte kan särskilja de olika konkurrenterna åt. Vi tolkar att välgörenhetsorganisationerna anspelar mycket på känslor i sitt positioneringsarbete.

This is a literature review of how the climate change affects the forest growth innorthern Sweden. The temperature will rise about 5 °C with the largest increase in thewinter season (December - February) and the CO2level in the atmosphere is expected tobe doubled. Precipitation patterns will change and increase with 25-35 % and theprecipitation will be in form of rain rather than snow. Today the forests in northernSweden are entirely dominated by coniferous stands. This may shift with the climatechange and results in a larger number of deciduous trees, preferably birch will becomestronger and grow better and faster.

The aim of this paper is to empirically examine the ideological trends and positioning of the Swedish liberal party with the Danish social liberal party. This paper also aims to analyze the reasons behind the trends. By examine the development in these two Nordic liberal sisterparties, this paper contributes to our understanding of why and how party change is initiated. The paper commences with an intuitive notion that the Swedish party has in fact, made a lurch towards the right, during the past ten to fifteen years while the Danish party has retained their social-liberal position in the centre of the Danish political spectrum. The questions then asked are: can this hypothesis be verified empirically? If so, how can this phenomenon of divergence, be explained?The method used in this thesis is process-tracing and the empirical material does to a large extent rely on interviews with central agents as they are specified in the theory of each party.

To work in an unpredictable work environment requires communication that functions well. In every organization it?s important that employees receive information that is relevant yet not confusing. Due to that, our ambition with this study is to understand how rescue effort organizations communicate in meetings; and whether their communication is clear or not. Our subject for this case study is the Emergency Services in the region of Karlstad.

This thesis aim to investigate the living conditions among marginalized habitants of suburbs in the Swedish welfare state. To approach an understanding of the complexity of marginalized urban areas, this thesis focus on studying the Stockholm suburb Husby in a context of the May riots 2013.The research method used is qualitative interviews with seven informants, who have a connection to the Husby area.The theories applied to the empirical material is Gösta Esping-Andersens theory on welfare state regimes and Loïc Wacquants theory on advanced marginality, also known as ?The new urban poverty?.By observing the complexity of the Husby riots in a contextual aspect of the Swedish welfare state and the living situation in Husby, the analysis has shown that the Swedish welfare model is going through a changing process. This process means a shift from a social democratic welfare model towards a more liberal regime, with an increased privatization of public welfare and a focus on individual responsibility regarding the citizens own living conditions. Husby as an area is characterized by a low socioeconomic status, a high level of unemployment and poor school results.

This essays overarching aim is to contribute to the theoretical discussion of transformation processes that are shaping the urban landscapes and further to problematize contemporary planning discourses in Sweden. Drawing on the concept of Foucault?s heterotopia and actor-network theory for spatial analysis, the paper seeks to analyze the complex urban landscape transformation process as an emergent property of human and non-human actor-networks seeking to transform and order space. With the district of Rosenlund in Gothenburg as a starting point, this thesis intends to examine how the cultural infrastructure - used by the residents and visitors of the city - are related to the city's planning and development processes. The case study is based on a boat (Rio Rio) in Rosenlund canal that is defined as a cultural infrastructure.

Background: In the past 10 years private label has increased significantly in the Swedish grocery market. This is an important strategic event, which is a great challenge to suppliers as it causes stiff competition. To handle this situation an increasing number of suppliers have to make the decision whether to produce private label or not.Purpose: The purpose of this study is to find and analyse factors that influence suppliers in the Swedish grocery market to produce private label. On this basis we intend to confirm or develop existing theories within the field of study.Research method: The study has a qualitative approach where empirical data has been gathered through interviews with suppliers and retailers in the Swedish grocery market.Results: This study has identified factors that underlie suppliers? decision to produce private label.

SAMMANFATTNING BakgrundAtt arbeta skift har visat sig vara en stressfaktor som påverkar både sömn och hälsa negativt och inom sjukvården kan även patientsäkerheten äventyras om personalen är utmattad på grund av sömnbrist.SyfteSyfte med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva vilka faktorer som påverkar sömnen och kan medföra sömnstörningar, samt vilka preventiva åtgärder som kan leda till förbättrad sömn hos skiftarbetande vårdspersonal.MetodResultatet bygger på tio vetenskapliga artiklar publicerade under åren 2007-2013. Dessa söktes genom databaserna Cinahl, PsykINFO och PubMed.Resultat I analysen av artiklarna framkom att skiftarbete som inkräktar på normala sömntider har en uppenbart skadlig effekt på sömnen med svårigheter att somna och sömnighet under både arbetstid och ledighet. Utmärkande var att stigande ålder och låg stresströskel (hardiness) ökade risken för sömnstörningar. Att ges möjlighet till tupplur under nattpass var en viktig åtgärd för att förebygga trötthet och främja hälsan hos skiftarbetande vårdpersonal.SlutsatsEftersom skiftarbete i sig har en uppenbart skadlig effekt på sömnen så är det av största vikt att ge vårdpersonalen bästa möjliga förutsättningar för att bibehålla sin hälsa på sikt. Förutom att planera för bra skiftscheman med schemalagd rast samt möjlighet att sova på nattpassen, bör man ta hänsyn till vårdpersonalens ålder och stresstålighet (hardiness)..

The Swedish consumption of lamb a increasing, and today we yearly eat a kilo of lamb per person each year. As a consequence the Swedish degree of self production according to lamb is steadily decreasing, and is today about 39 %.Today Swedish Meats is now cooperating with the Swedish lamb breeders organisation to raise that percentage. At the same time the European Union presents a new agricultural reform, the MTR (Mid Term Review). The shape of this new reform is not yet fully known, but the general policy has been more or less outlined. The new reform is split into three propositions: the farm model, the regional model and the mixed model.

Research regarding the maintenance of the Sami language shows that the Swedish society has a big influence on the development of the Sami identity and also the maintenance of the Sami language. The assimilation of the Sami language and the traditional Sami religion was forced mainly by the Swedish education form and the Swedish church. In modern times many different forms of Sami identities have been developed due to the scattering of the Sami people, and also because of the urbanization of the Swedish society. The Sami nature religion is still alive in the Sami group, thanks to the mythological stories told and preserved by their oral  tradition. The purpose of this assignment was to make research of how the Sami identity is being presented in three current Swedish books.

The aim for this master thesis is to create an understanding of the intersubjective processes of how individuals are experimenting with their identities in social media and the consequences for the identity and embodiment. The thesis is completed with the help of discourse analysis and a starting point in four complementary theories. Central to the implementation of the analysis is the concept of diffraction. Therefore the thesis is, which is reflected in the choice of theoretical approaches and methods, critical to many aspects of classical philosophy of science and method. The empirical material is based on interviews.
