Högskoleutbildade individer möter idag en arbetsmarknad med ständiga omställningar, en arbetsmarknad som på detta vis utgör en oförutsebar och otrygg framtid för många ur denna samhällsgrupp. Kvinnor som vid avslutade studier och inträde till arbetsmarknaden hunnit komma upp i barnafödande ålder anses löpa större risk för arbetslöshet och deltidsarbete. För att få en mer verklighetsnära bild av fenomenet bestämde jag mig för att skriva min C-uppsats inom detta ämnesområde. Studieobjekten består av sex högskoleutbildade, nyutexaminerade kvinnor i åldrarna 25 till 35 och den tillämpade datainsamlingsmetoden är intervjuer. Syftet med studien är att genom tolkningar av dessa kvinnors berättelser upptäcka om det kan urskiljas några mönster som kan indikera på att dessa kvinnor, p g a sitt kön, sin ålder och sociala position har haft det tufft, jämfört med män generellt, att etablera sig på arbetsmarknaden.

This essay constitutes a qualitative case study about democratization theory and the middle class in Russia. This is a very important case to study, especially because of the geographic position of the country as well as the economic importance Russia has as a part of the G8. In the essay the author seeks to answer the question whether the lack of a significant middle class in Russia can be a part of the explanation to the absence of a well functioning democracy in the country. Several democratization theories are presented. The most important being Ruth Berins Collier's theories about ins and outs plus the elite- or working class as the initiator of democratization processes.

Problembakgrund & problemdiskussion: Investerare behöver information om bolaget för att kunna avgöra värdet på dess aktier. Vissa personer har bättre information om bolagens förehavanden än andra. Insiders är en sådan grupp. De kan tänkas ha ett informationsövertag gentemot övriga aktörer på marknaden. Skulle insiders kunna generera överavkastning med privat information, går det emot den effektiva marknadshypotesens (EMH) starka form.

Barnmisshandel kan förekomma i alla samhällsklasser, trots att det enligt lag är förbjudet att slå sitt barn. Barnmisshandel brukar delas in i fysisk-, psykisk- och sexuell misshandel. För att kunna identifiera barnmisshandel måste skolsköterskan ha kunskap inom området, vilket saknas idag. Syftet med studien är att beskriva skolsköterskors kunskap och roll i att identifiera barnmisshandel. Studien utfördes som en litteraturgranskning och belyser flera tecken som skolsköterskan bör observera vid misstänkt barnmisshandel.

My thesis brings up the subject of power. In the 33 local authorities we have in Skåne, I have made a quantitative study, to see how many young people that are included in the power of politics, through local authorities parliament. This is the first of the two parts that I have devided my thesis into. The second part is qualitative and examines four young politicians, and their thoughts on holding a position that is so unusual to hold at their age. This is the basis for my analysis where I bring up age as a form of discrimination.

På dagens föränderliga marknad med ökande krav från kunder, är kundvärde ett konkurrensmedel för företagen. Denna studie syftar till att undersöka och analysera värdeskapande processer, gentemot sina kunder, som ett bostadsproducerande byggföretag måste ha för att behålla sin position på marknaden. Anledningar till att stora företag skall tillämpa processer inriktade på kundvärde är den ökande globaliseringen, konkurrens och förändrat kundbeteende. Små företag har traditionellt sett alltid varit tvungna agera utifrån kundens marknad. Studien har visat att detta är något de stora företagen bör ta lärdom av när det gäller planering av byggprocesser.

Our thesis focus on how retirees perceive Tv4s news casts of economy news where we focused on five different aspects: What is the relationship between the news cast and the viewer and how does the viewer express their understanding of the news cast and the way it is constructed? What are the viewers attitude towards the news content and how do they find the news cast useful for them personally?We choosed retirees as our target group due to their vulnerable economic position in today?s society and TV as an important medium for them due to the digital divide. The study was performed with twelve qualitative interviews and one group interview where six retirees took part.We discovered a big interest for economic news in the target group. The majority had a sympathetic view of the news cast they saw but they also expressed skepticism toward the economy segment and/or news castings. The majority expressed a lack of trust for the journalists and the experts brought in to share observations and make announcements, and the financial business overall.

Background: The recent years in the Swedish Fast Moving Consumer Goods industry have been characterized by a palpable shift in power balance, favouring the retailers. Since the shift in power balance has strengthened the negotiation position of the retailers, the suppliers now have to, to a greater extent than before, accommodate to the retailers? goals, whether they be financial or strategic. Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate how this recent power shift has affected the relationships of suppliers and retailers. This development has resulted in the rather new and unexplored area of retailer value, which this study further aimed to explore.

Background                      European football has during the past decades seen a fast development towards a more professionalized and commercialized climate. This had led to the fact that a lot of clubs are run like any other company, and the focus on marketing and market shares has increased. To be able to create a strong brand clubs have to put a lot of work into marketing, not only of their own brand, but of their sponsors and partners as well.Purpose                              The purpose of this study is to (in step 1) analyze how two smaller Swedish football clubs build their brand and work with their marketing communication. In step 2, the purpose is to create a model of how these clubs may work to develop their brand and marketing communication.Method                              With a qualitative approach, the authors of this paper have analyzed text and documents as well as performed two in-depth interviews.Findings                             Both clubs lack a well-developed strategy regarding their work with their brand and marketing communication. However, there are in both cases factors that, if developed correctly, could help build a stronger brand and better the marketing communication.

The paper is a discourse analysis of the liberal environmental discourse in Sweden today. It is based on articles in two of the main liberal Swedish newspapers, Dagens Nyheter and Sydsvenska Dagbladet, and a liberal periodical, Neo.The purpose of this study is to analyze how the environmental problems that have been produced by the industrialised society, especially global warming, are seen upon in the liberal discourse in Sweden today. The theoretical point of departure is a discourse analysis that as a method seeks to analyze the material to reveal what assumptions the discussion departs from, and what assumptions the discussions reject.The thesis concludes that the main trends in the discussions are to position the environment against the financial system and state that the capitalist system is the only system that can solve the environmental issues. The existing environmental problems are not denied, but constantly belittled and only considered to be a problem if it poses a direct threat to humans. The solution for these environmental problems is believed to be the strengthening of the financial system and the development of new technologies..
