The aim for this paper is to investigate how a limited number of youth recreation leaders and leisure-time pedagogues view their vocational competence, which kind of power the persons in the essay experience to have in their workplace and which kind of status they experience that they have in comparison with other occupational groups in their schools. The final aim of the paper is to find out how teachers interact with youth recreation leaders and leisure-time pedagogues when it comes to their vocational competence. My questions are:How do a group of youth recreation leaders and leisure-time pedagogues view their professional assignments?How does a group of youth recreation leaders and leisure-time pedagogues view their power in their workplace in comparison with other occupational groups?How do a limited number of youth recreation leaders and leisure-time pedagogues view their status in relation to teachers, other occupational-groups and parents? Which role have my respondents been assigned by their team and why do they think they have gotten that role?To answer these questions I have used a qualitative method which includes four in depth interviews. The overall theoretical perspectives are symbolic interactionism and social constructivism.

The relationship between China and Japan has historically been problematic and, in some ways still is. One of the issues where both of the states cannot agree on is the island dispute. While both states are claiming sovereignty over the island and there do not seem to be an ending to it in the near future. If the island dispute continues to escalate it could have a negative impact in the Asian region and eventually rest of the world as well. However due to the complexity of the dispute a deeper knowledge is needed and a mutual understanding is needed.

Tidigare utförda servicebulletiner och luftvärdighetsdirektiv på flygplanet SE-KOL finns nedförda och redovisade i handskrivna dokument. För att på ett enkelt och smidigt sätt kunna ta fram status avseende SB och AD har innehållet i handskrivna originalhandlingar överförts till ett digitalt system i vilket utförda åtgärder blivit överskådliga och sökbara. Rapporten beskriver det överföringsarbete som legat till grund för den digitala listan samt det granskningsarbete som gjorts mellan utförda åtgärder och originaldokument från luftfartsmyndigheter och tillverkare, för att fastställa SB/AD-status för flygplan SE-KOL.Utifrån tidigare utrustningslistor, datalistor och tekniska dokument har en uppdaterad utrustningslista sammanställts med ökad överskådlighet samt sökbarhet, ur vilken information om flygplanets fortlöpande utrustningsstatus kan tas fram. Utrustningslistan som skapats är det underlag som senare tänkt användas vid överföring av flygplanets utrustning till ett bättre uppföljningssystem..

In this thesis the construction of identity within the EU is discussed. A thesis problem in three dimensions is used to explain the purpose of the construction, its realization and the consequences of such identity. These aspects show the complexity of the problems related to identity construction on a structural level.By using a post-modern and a social constructivist theoretical approach identity is presented as socially constructed by discourse. The theory of discourse makes it possible to analyze the development of an identity forming discourse within the EU and its status today.With an approach inspired by critical theory, we use discourse analysis as a methodological tool to illustrate the ideas that govern discourse, and in what way it is related to the social reality.The analysis states that the purpose of identity constructing is the striving for legitimacy. Without identification, the legitimacy is threatened.

Political scandals are constantly abound in the media, rulers face the global tribunal of the mass media and are forced to defend their actions and above all, their position in society.

Gudrun Schymans? eva- sion, Laila Freivalds? dealing with the tsunami disaster in Thailand, Annie Lo?o?fs? tangle concerning representation notes and public documents and Tobias Billstro?ms? statements concerning undocumented immigrants and asylum seekers.

AbstractEver since Sweden joined EU Swedish law has to be compatible with EU law. Swedish law cannot state anything that may restrict the freedom of establishment. This means that companies are free to change their resident within the EU without any restrictions. National rules regarding exit tax states that companies who wants to move their business out of Sweden is taxed as if their assets has been disposed of at the exit time. These rules have been found to restrict EU law according to case RÅ 2008 ref 30.

The purpose of this thesis is to explain why states obtain nuclear weapons and the role variousactors and interests play in the making of states´ nuclear policies. The main questions are asfollows: (1) What big theories exist concerning states obtaining nuclear weapon and nucleararmament in International Relations and what relevance do they have of the post cold-war period?,(2) What is the meaning of the perspective of the Military-Industrial Complex (MIC)?, and (3)Arethere empirical studies which supports the existence of a MIC in the United States?The focus lies on actors and driving forces that are internal to states and it is also important toinvestigate if the theories have relevance for the post 9/11-era. The study uses the method ofqualitative literature-study with some quantitative segments. It is claimed that states might beinterested in justifying their behaviour in a morally appealing way and that real reasons may behidden.

The characteristics of free movement is the elimination of obstacles to trade between Member States and thus by such, create free movement within the entire union. Therefore art 34 in the Treaty of Lisabon (FEUF) states that all quantative restrictions on imports and measures of equivalent effect are prohibited. The legal approach to measures having equivalent effect is still unclear and the purpose of this paper is therefore to propose a solution to that particular problem. What can be said when it comes to this rule is that the EU-Court has gone from applying a discrimination test to a market access doctrine.According to the Court´s case law, measures having equivalent effects to quantative restrictions are ?All trading rules enacted by Member States which are capable of hindering, directly or indirectly, actually or potentially, intra-community trade?.  The question of how to apply the test when it comes to a potential hinder to intra-community trade is still unclear.

People move between countries and establish connections all over the world. This results in a need to solve problems with cross-border inheritances and partitions of joint property. Today these situations are regulated by the countries? own international private law. EU has adopted a constitution that harmonizes rules of jurisdiction and applicable law for inheritances but not the partition of joint property.

This paper has its aim to investigate in which way the theory about the dynamic of the triadic nexus, presented by Brubaker, needs to be revised. In the first place this theory is presented and after then applied on the triad formed by: the Hungarian national minority in Transylvania, Romania and Hungary. Through the empirical evidences, that are presented here by following up the political relations and its dynamics over time between the three fields, is shown that the theory is usable for the case in question. Further as we approach the more actual development of the political life in the triad appears a need to deal with one more field which would be for example the NATO or/and EU.This means that Brubakers theory has to be revised so it would take in account a forth field and that of an international organization/institution. The arguments for this needed change is put forth through empirical evidences on the political relations that the two states has with NATO or/and EU and the huge influence these have on the states..

Syftet för uppsatsen har varit att undersöka i vilken utsträckning sambandet mellan socioekonomisk status och ohälsa hos den äldre populationen beror på de arbetsförhållanden de haft under de yrkesverksamma åren. Vi har för detta ändamål genomfört analyser med hjälp av ordinala logistiska regressioner där vi kontrollerat den fysiska och psykiska arbetsmiljöns inverkan på sambandet mellan två mått av socioekonomisk status och sex olika ohälsoutfall. De olika ohälsoutfallen har baserats på ett befintligt datamaterial från den nationellt representativa Undersökningen om äldres levnadsvillkor (SWEOLD) som genomförts åren 1992, 2002 och 2004. Bakgrundsinformationen avseende socioekonomisk status och arbetsmiljöförhållanden har hämtats från den nationellt representativa Levnadsnivå-undersökningen (LNU) från åren 1968 och 1981.  Kombinationen av de två har möjliggjort för longitudinella studier, vilket innebär att vi kunnat följa respondenterna över tid - från tiden de varit yrkesverksamma till pensionsålder. Av studiens analyser framkom att de starkaste effekterna uppvisades när vi kontrollerade för den fysiska arbetsmiljöns verkan på sambandet mellan måtten på socioekonomisk status och de två ohälsoutfallen rörelsesmärta och fysisk funktionsnedsättning.

Syfte: Syftet är att ur ett sociokulturellt perspektiv belysa några dramapedagogersuppfattning om den svenska dramapedagogikens utveckling.Teori: Vi har utgått från Bourdieus system inom sociokultur med det svenska samhället somdet sociala rum, inom vilket svensk dramapedagogik är ett eget fält med yrkesverksammadramapedagoger som fältets agenter.Metod: Metoder som använts är mailintervjuer med fem dramapedagoger.Resultat och slutsats: Det som framkommit från intervjuerna är att dramapedagogiken fåtthöjd status, ett breddat arbetsfält samt till viss del förändrade definitioner om vaddramapedagogik är. Fler dramapedagoger jobbar nu som egna företagare inomverksamhetsområden som kan tyckas ligga långt från det fält där dramapedagogikenursprungligen kom till i Sverige.Nyckelord: Dramapedagogik, dramapedagog, utveckling, status, Bourdieu, fält, habitus.
