The aim of this Master´s thesis is to examine which type of regime the state Iran is. There has been much research on this issue and the discussion is not over yet. I have departed from three theoretical perspectives in order to understand which type of regime the Middle Eastern nation is: theocracy, democracy and hybrid regime. The theocratic regimetype is composed by David L. Websters archeological theory about governments ruled by God.

The civil war in Sierra Leone was a very complicated conflict, both in its origin as well as in its realization. Many actors, along with the diamond trade, played vital parts in making the war carry on for a decade. In this paper I will try to clarify the relations between the actors and the diamonds, first and foremost the part the diamonds played in the conflicts start and continuation. I will also show what has happened in the country and in the diamond industry after the wars conclusion. What I find is that diamonds did not play the only part in the origin of the conflict but that the poor economic state the country was in had its part.

Titel: Varför leder inte lyckad Forsknings- och Utvecklings (FoU) - kommunikation till förändrat beteende? En etnografisk studie inom Primärvården Halland.Författare: Helena MorténiusUtbildning: Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap, 61-80p, VT 2007.Institution: Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap, Sektionen för Hälsa och Samhälle, Högskolan i Halmstad, Box 823, 301 18 Halmstad.Handledare: Lars Palm, professor, Sektionen för Hälsa och Samhälle, Högskolan i Halmstad.Examinator: Jesper Falkheimer, universitetslektor, Institutionen för Service Management, Campus Helsingborg.Problem: FoU-enhetens uppgift är att förankra forskningstänkandet bland primärvårdsanställda i Halland. En framgångsrik kommunikation har varit en viktig del i denna policy. Trots stort intresse på fältet har en grupp av anställda inte velat gå vidare i sin utveckling.Syfte: Syftet med denna studie har varit att ur ett kommunikationsvetenskapligt perspektiv på gruppnivå beskriva de faktorer som hindrar denna grupp av anställda att gå vidare i sin utveckling och bli FoU-aktiva.Metod: Kvalitativ metod med en etnografisk ansats.Resultat: Gruppens sociokulturella tillhörighet i kombination med organisationskulturens principer är grunderna till att en del av primärvårdens anställda inte går vidare i sin utveckling och blir FoU-aktiva. Bidragande faktorer till denna situation har varit de konkreta hinder som tradition, kultur, hierarki, ledning, resurser och brist på förebilder..

ABB Surge Arrestors in Ludvika have for a long time had a problem to keep the moisture at a steady state in the production of their ZnO-powder, that is used to produce varistors.Some black-box models of the spray drying process have been designed and evaluated to find a solution for the problem. After evaluating the collected data it has been found that variations in the supply voltage causes control difficulties for the operator. A cascade control system was designed, consisting of three PI control loops designed with lambda tuning. The disturbance in the supply voltagewas used as a feed forward in the control system.At the end of the project the control system was installed, and tests were made to verify the functionality of the regulator. It was shown that most of the variations in the moisture of the powder could be eliminated using small resources, through purchase of a process controller and four power meters.

The purpose of this master?s thesis is to examine how pupils with Swedish as a second language and school librarians perceive the concept of pleasure of reading and the feeling of being a part of society. Our research is based on qualitative interviews with eight students in grades 6-9 and from two different schools. We have also interviewed two school librarians in these two libraries. As a method of analysis, we used phenomenography because it is the informants' perceptions of the phenomenon of pleasure of reading that we investigate.

The voluntary none-financial sustainability report has become a trend within accounting. The environmental issues used to be driven by activists only, but lately it has moved in to the general agenda in many companies. Investors are starting to put more attention to the sustainability reporting as it is considered to add value to the company. There are several standard guidelines to be used when producing a sustainability report, one example is the GRI´s Guidelines that takes the following three dimensions in consideration: economy, environment and social. This Guideline is from an international perspective considered to be of good accounting practice (Ljungdahl 2008).

The aim of my study is to critically analyse the discourse behind two different integration projects in Sweden, by using post colonial theory. My hypothesis is that many projects intended for increased integration includes a view of immigrants as the ?Others? which can be seen in how one talks about integration and culture in the discourse behind integration projects.The first of these two projects aims at increased diversity in the cultural sphere, organized on at state level. The purpose of the second project is to increase the communication and results for schools in areas with a high rate of immigrants in Malmö. In my study I make a discourse analysis of the discourse behind these two projects and study how they are motivated and how one conceptualise culture and integration in these documents.

The eld of Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) concerns linking together an external device with the brain of a human or an animal. By doing this the conventional use of a mouse or keyboard can be circumvented, which can greatly benefit people with different types of diseases that cause paralysis or other loss of motor control, such as Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). A BCI can also be used for cognitive training of either healthy or mentally impaired subjects to increase cognitive capabilities.In this thesis an implementation of an interface is made against such a device, the Emotiv EPOC Headset. The result is meant to be a stable basis for further study using the device. An in-depth study of the history of EEG and its current use in clinical work and research in the topics of BCI as well as Human-computer interaction (HCI) is presented.

Asperger´s syndrome is a state with certain difficulties in social relations, communication and perception. People with Asperger´s syndrome often have a special interest for a certain topic.

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.

Nearly half of the worlds population is individuals under the age of eighteen. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child state in its first article that a child is ?every human being below the age of 18 years?. Our aim and purpose with this essay is to problemize this broad definition. Our hypothesis is that the definition brought by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child is too wide and therefore brings difficulties when children of different ages beneath eighteen should and shall be treated the same.

Titel: Mångfald på företag - nödvändigt ont eller en förutsättning för lönsamhet. Författare: Poopak, Afshari, Nina, Kohi och Farnoosh, Valliallahi Handledare: Lars Nordgren och Johan Hultman Problemformulering: Vi har identifierat ett existerande forsknings- och kunskapsgap gällande sambandet mellan mångfald i personalsammansättningen på företag och ekonomisk lönsamhet. Idag antar och påstår man inom den akademiska världen att sambandet är positivt, men man har inte belyst eller undersökt det ekonomiska utfallet tillräckligt mycket. Således saknas tillräckligt empiriskt stöd som kan rättfärdiga antagelserna. Vi har därför i denna studie haft som ambition att försöka bidra till att med hjälp av litteratur- och empiristudier fylla detta gap. Denna kunskap är särskilt viktigt och intressant för vinstdrivande företag, då dessa alltmer befinner sig i en mer och mer globaliserad och multikulturell omvärldsmiljö som de är beroende av. Syfte: Syftet med vår studie är att öka kunskapen om hur mångfald i företagets humankapital påverkar företag utifrån ett ekonomiskt perspektiv.
