This bachelor thesis discusses various difficulties with architectural paint research. The difficulties are exemplified through a case study ? a paint research on a furrowed string-course in the southern vault of the Royal Palace of Stockholm, which was carried out November ? March 2009-2010 on behalf of Statens Fastighetsverk. The paint research was made in order to receive information about the string-course and to get inspiration for a renewed color scheme on it. The base material of the string-course is Gotlandic sandstone and the surface of it is furrowed.

Allt fler flyttar in i städer och 2050 tros över 90 % av Sveriges befolkning vara bosatta i städer. Samtidigt minskar grönområden runt om i städerna. Forskning visar på olika problem som uppstår i städer och dess miljö men också på hur växter och deras naturliga egenskaper kan vara till nytta. Syftet med detta arbete är att visa olika alternativ på hur man kan använda sig av befintliga outnyttjade områden i Stockholm och grönska dem. En litteraturstudie och exkursioner har resulterat i tolv olika gestaltningar av platser tagna ur sex olika grupper som presenteras som resultat.

The purpose of this thesis is, through both a quantitative and qualitative study, to map out how the interaction appears between the established parties and the radical right-wing party, the Sweden Democrat?s (SD) and their core issue ? immigration in the Swedish parliament. By applying analytical dimensions on the parliamentary protocols regarding the immigration issue between the years of 2010-2012 this study will get an insight on how the argumentation concerning immigration has developed since their entrance into the Swedish parliament in 2010. The result shows that SD, through the rejection treatment of the established parties, fulfilled the three conditions which accordingly to the study's theoretical framework are crucial for the party's future success. In the established parties? reception of SD regarding immigration, SD is, to a large extent, left unchallenged as the established parties rather focus on integration instead of challenge SD in the immigration issue.

This is done with regression analysis and chosen variables. Another aim is to see where in Sweden the chosen variables aren?t enough to explain the results of the election.

The common asylum and migration policy of the European Union is a struggle between a strong belief in the protection of human rights and the need of strong and secured borders. This paper highlights the dilemma that occurs in the common asylum and migration policy of the European Union. What happens when the union have to choose between liberal standards with high priorities to human rights and a realistic focus on security? The aim is to study the asylum policy presented in the Stockholm Program, and thereafter evaluate what kind of character the union has itself. By an ideal type analysis of the Stockholm program from 2009, the common asylum policy is divided into either liberal or realistic ideas.

Lärarkåren är en yrkeskår vars status är omdiskuterad. Yrket är inte professionellt i samma utsträckning som t.ex. läkaryrket, utan är istället att betrakta som semiprofessionell. Yrket har under 1900-talet genomgått en professionaliseringsprocess och har under historien rört sig närmare eller längre ifrån att uppfylla kriterierna för att räknas som en profession. Denna studie utforskar denna professionaliseringsprocess genom att undersöka diskussioner av elevproblem i lärarförbundets medlemstidning under perioden 1950-2010 och det är diskussionernas diskursiva grund som analyseras och detta med fokus på vilka som uttalar sig, hur påståenden legitimeras och med vilken blick problemen betraktas.

Ett operahus på Stadsgårdskajen, väster om Fåfängan. Placeringen är vald för att försöka ta tillvara på många av platsens kvalitéer och koppla byggnaden både till staden och till vattnet. Detta görs genom scenernas vinkelräta relation till varandra där den lilla scenen lägger sig i fonden av Folkungagatan medan den stora vänder sig mot vattnet. Symbolen skapas med hjälp av de utkragande salongerna som. Klädda i ett stålnät av zink uppfattas de som slutna från utsidan medan man från insidan ser igenom och ges utblickar mot Stockholm och och dess natur.

Travelling by train has increased during the last decades in Sweden. This has put pressure on the existing infrastructure and has created problems with delays and cancelled departures.
