Our study aimed at gaining insight of co-workers experiences of different factors that affects the verbal communication and leads to dialogue and misunderstanding between co-workers and their managers. The empirical material was gained from semi-structured interviews with co-workers at various departments within the same organization. We used a hermeneutic interpretive approach and our data was analyzed concerning different factors affecting communication. The result has been interpreted using the theories of deliberative conversations and dialogue competence. We have also used Illeris theory of learning. The result shows a number of factors that affects communication between co-workers and managers.

The purpose of this essay is to find answers to these questions and at the same time shed light on good examples, where the wind band activity works. To be able to answer the questions have I made four interviews with persons who have a big knowledge and interest about the subject.

Tidigare forskning om riksdagsledamöternas politiska intressen har pekat på partitillhörighetens betydelse för den enskilda riksdagsledamotens individuella intressen och möjlighet att uttrycka dem i interpellationer och motioner. Sociologisk forskning visar samtidigt att en social kategori som etnicitet kan ha betydelse både för individers identitet och för individers politiska intressen.I denna uppsats undersöks om riksdagsledamöter med utländsk bakgrund har ett större intresse för integrations- och invandringsfrågor än riksdagsledamöter utan utländsk bakgrund och om ett sådant eventuellt samband försvinner då man kontrollerar för partitillhörighet. Antagandena grundas i Bourdieus teori om etnicitet som ett kulturellt kapital samt Balibars och Wallersteins teori om etnicitet som en kulturell gemenskap. Undersökningen har även ett maktkritiskt perspektiv, där etnicitet ur ett intersektionalitetsperspektiv betonar maktstrukturers begränsningar för individens intressen och handlingsmöjligheter.En enkät skickades ut till samtliga riksdagsledmöter där de kunde skatta hur mycket de interpellerat och motionerat om invandrings- och flyktingfrågor under sin tid i riksdagen. Drygt 40 % av enkäterna besvarades.Analysen av enkätundersökningen visar att riksdagledamöterna med utländsk bakgrund totalt sett har ett större intresse för att motionera och interpellera om invandrings- och flyktingpolitik.

Hur kan B2B-byråer anpassa sina tjänster efter konjunkturläget, utan att kompromissa med kvalitet och genomslag?Vi har genom intervjuer med elva Business-2-Business företag i Skåne, och tre B2B-byråer samlat information till undersök-ningen. Detta i ett försök att kartlägga företagens och byråer-nas arbetssätt. Denna information har sedan legat till grund för den analys som gjorts av den generella bild vi skapat oss av företagens och byråernas arbetssätt, för att utifrån den kunna föreslå ett mer tillfredsställande arbetssätt för alla parter..

During the last decades the evolution of information technology and the increasing ability to access information have been discussed in many ways. In the beginning the focus was on the technology but now the discussion is more and more about the use of information and how to develop knowledge out of it. There is an ongoing discussion about the difference between knowledge and information. The subject of this Master s thesis is to find out if and how the Swedish elementary school has written into its mission statements to help the pupils to become information literate. For this purpose I have examined literature about information literacy and pedagogic as well as legislation and other documents that control how the Swedish elementary schools work.

Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka sambandet mellan religion och politik utifrån ett antagande om att globaliseringsprocessen spelat en viktig roll för ökad religiositet i den politiska sfären. Utifrån en idé- och ideologianalys med kritiska inslag fokuserar vi främst på statsmaktens förändrade roll, i och med globaliseringsprocessen. Vi använder oss av en socialkonstruktivistisk teori då vi tror att religionen inte är något konstant utan något som kan konstrueras utifrån sitt syfte. Maktaspekten blir också central här. Vi har genomfört fallstudier på två länder, USA och Iran, för att se om vi kunnat finna stöd för vår tro att det finns ett samband mellan globaliseringen och en ökad religiositet inom politik.

Vår uppsats behandlar det statsvetenskapliga forskningsfältet politisk kommunikation. Vår ambition ligger i att undersöka hur kvällspressen valde att rapportera kring terrorattacken den 11 september 2001 i USA. Den hypotes som vi har är att medieklimatet har blivit allt tuffare och mer underordnad ekonomiska intressen som i sin tur leder till förenklade, tillspetsade och sensationella nyheter. Det vi ämnar söka svaret på är: Hur och varför medierna agerade som de gjorde kring bevakningen av terrorattackerna den 11 september 2001 i USA? Och var i ligger problematiken i deras sätt att rapportera?Vi kommer att angripa våra frågeställningar utifrån teoretiskt viktiga verktyg och genom en fallstudie kring Sveriges två största kvällstidningar Aftonbladet och Expressen.

Den här uppsatsen låter sex unga journalister komma till tals med avseende på hur de tänker kring förhållandena på arbetsmarknaden. Syftet är att med hjälp av en kvalitativ intervjustudie belysa hur unga journalister tänker kring sin karriär, framtid och livet vid sidan av yrket.Arbetsgivarna inom mediebranschen tillhör dem som i störst utsträckning kringgår lagen om anställningsskydd (LAS). Det innebär att många journalisters första arbetslivserfarenheter består av vikariat och tillfälliga anställningar. Detta resulterar i ett kringflackande liv som för med sig konsekvenser på det privata planet.De sex intervjupersonerna har olika erfarenheter av hur det är att komma ut i arbetslivet från en journalistutbildning. En viktig slutsats från studien är att de sex intervjupersonerna på olika sätt fått anpassa sina liv efter branschens krav på flexibilitet, tillgänglighet och rörlighet.
