The similarity between the Russian and the Indian, in a Cold War context, may be ambiguous considering the ethnic-social variables and the period in time from where the Indians relate. However, by analyzing these, as well as other, characters in the exhibition of movies, we could learn something about the ideology of the time from which the movies derive.This study examines ideology and movies in the Cold War era and concludes that the Indian, for example, may be representing the values of the common public enemy, originating from the Cold War ideology. The movies examined, regardless of influence of distinct Cold War themes or lack of such themes, carry attributes that give evidence of typical Cold War ideology. The fear of communism and common enemies connected to a Cold War context, the thought of America as the land of the free ? with the horizon in the ending of the movies as metaphoric to freedom ? and the moral rhetoric that connects to the American thought of a duty as a global savior, are all signs of the Cold War ideology.Even though the messages are somewhat clearer and more distinct in the movies with Cold War motifs, the fact that ideology is projected through other movies as well should be considered essential for the continuing study of movies as cultural artefacts..

Det finns många systemutvecklingsmetoder som alla skiljer sig mer eller mindre åt.Gemensamt för dem alla är att det finns ett perspektiv på system och systemutvecklingbakom. Det finns en vilja att spara pengar och effektivisera verksamheter genom attinföra informationssystem men det rapporteras ofta om stora projekt som kostar mycketmer än beräknat.Vi har frågat oss om det finns en brist på insikt om att perspektiv (synsätt) på bådesystemutvecklingsprocessen och IT-systemet i sig styr utvecklingen.Val av metoder bygger på ett aktivt val av perspektiv.Undersökningen har vi gjort genom en litteraturstudie där vi förklarar begreppensystemutveckling, perspektiv och paradigm samt systemutvecklingsmetoder och försökerbelysa sambanden dem emellan.För att undersöka hur insikten om perspektiv ser ut har vi i en empirisk undersökninggjort intervjuer med anställda på ett utvecklingsföretag samt med en av deras kunder.Genom att analysera intervjuerna och deras arbetsmetod med hjälp av analysmetodenMA/SIMM har vi nyanserat vårt teoretiska resultat.Perspektiv ? och metodanalys är mycket viktiga för att förstå varförsystemutvecklingsprocessen ser ut som den gör och framförallt vad den fångar upprespektive missar..

The purpose of this essay is to examine whether and how labor consultants, job coaches, guidance counselors promote the possibility of self-realization of the clients they encounter in their work. By analyzing, based on the theoretical framework, six semi-structured interviews of people having the chosen professions answer the questions "Do counselors promote client's opportunities for self-realization in their work?" and "If so: how is this practiced?".

Denna uppsats kretsar kring teologins behov av ett universellt sanningskriterium, och den motsägelse ett sådant skapar i en postmodern pluralism. Vidare presenteras och analyseras två svenska teologers sätt att behandla denna problematik. Båda teologerna formulerar ett etiskt universellt sanningskriterium men bemöter den motsägelse som det skapar på två olika sätt. Ann-Louise Eriksson förklarar varför motsägelsen tillåts genom att övertrumfa den med ett paradigmatiskt etiskt paradigm som hon hämtar från sin feministteologiska övertygelse. Jayne Svenungsson bemöter i sin tur motsägelsen genom att istället lyfta fram en motivering som hon hämtar inom det postmoderna tänkandet hos filosofen Lévinas.

Adjustment to a neutral colour balance when printing was the starting point in this degree project. Onthis base ICC-profiles were evaluated and assessed. The survey was concentrated on the similarity betweenreproductions on different papers with various ICC-profiles. The colour balancing introduced aconsistent variable between four graphic papers. With raised uniformity the probability increased toreceive similarities between the various combinations of ICC-profiles and papers.Numerous of measurements and calculations have been carried out, mainly to confirm whether or notadjustment to a neutral colour balance is possible and repeatable.
