In the 2011th Swedish football league three games were suspended because ofbangers that exploded on the terraces. The first suspended match was played by Syrianska and AIK. We have performed an image analysis of two of Sweden?s biggest newspapers, Aftonbladet and Dagens Nyheter, to see how they reported fromthat incident. The reports from the first incident are important because the mediareporting from the first incident might have determined the attitude of the press and the Swedish football association (SvFF) towards the supporters for the remainder of the season.

Sweden?s most trusted news distributor, Sveriges Radio (Swedish Public Service radio broadcaster), has high ambitions with the journalism it broadcasts ? especially when it comes to gender equality and diversity.

Syftet med studien är att undersöka huruvida det är mer eller mindre motiverande för anställda inom mjukvaruindustrin att jobba enligt agila utvecklingsmetoder än enligt traditionella utvecklingsmetoder.Undersökningen har gjorts med teoretisk utgångspunkt från motivationsskapande variabler ur de kontemporära motivationsteorierna Self Determination Theory samt Job Characteristic model.Som en ansats till att besvara frågeställningen har en kvalitativ fallstudie genomförts på företaget Kambi Sport Solutions AB. Kambi Sport Solutions AB har under de senaste åren genomfört en organisationsförändring där traditionella projektledningsmetoder ersatts av agila projektledningsmetoder.Studiens empiri visar med stöd ur motivationsteori att övergången till agila metoder signifikant påverkat individens motivation positivt.

Utbildningen i idrott och hälsa ger möjligheter till att stärka gemenskapen mellan barn och ungdomar i ett mångkulturellt och internationellt samhälle (Lpo 94). Fotboll har länge varit den sport som på allvar har bidragit till att föra samman olika kulturer med varandra för deras gemensamma kärlek till sporten. Överallt i världen, oberoende av etnicitet och religioner, har människor samlats för att ta del av spelet.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka människors motivation till deltagande inom lagidrott, vilken motivationsreglering som påverkar en idrottare till deltagande inom idrott samt hur uppfattat självbestämmande stöd från tränaren påverkar motivationsreglering, beroende på kön och spelarposition. Undersökningsdeltagarna var 146 idrottare, 59 kvinnor och 87 män, som var medlemmar i olika idrottsföreningar. Insamling av data gjordes i form av personlig kontakt med en enkät som innehöll mätinstrumenten Sport Motivation Scale och Sport Climate Questionnaire. Resultatet visade att det fanns en skillnad mellan könen i yttre reglering. De inre motivations-regleringarna i studien hade positiva korrelationer med yttre motivationsreglering, alltså om den inre motivationen höjs hos en idrottare så blir även den yttre motivationen förhöjd.

Den journalistiska professionen har genom historien varit ett högaktat yrke som tillknutits stort förtroende från allmänheten. Förtroendet har baserats på en exklusiv tillgång till nyhetskällor samt journalisternas vilja att leva upp till de klassiska journalistiska idealen. I dagens medieklimat har dock allmänheten större möjlighet att själva ställa krav på journalisterna, i frågor om publiceringshastighet och medieinnehåll. Detta leder också till att arbetet med källhantering förändras.Studiens teoretiska underlag är baserat på teorier kring det amerikanska medieklimatet. Teorierna slår här fast att dagens medieklimat problematiserar utövandet av korrekt källverifiering.
