Södertörn University was built in the suburb of Stockholm to bring hope for students that aren?t used to study. Ever since the university was built there has been a debate on internet message boards such as Flashback and a discourse has developed in the recent five years. The public discourse has had a negative influence on how the university is perceived by the public. The purpose of this study is to analyze how this discourse has developed the image of the university and how it has evolved.

The main purpose of this Master?s thesis is to explore university librarians? thoughts about the future. The analytical focus is thus on the librarians? representations of the future. The theoretical framework used is narrative theory with a social constructionist viewpoint.

The aim of this study is to examine the perception of work of young men and women. A central problem that the study focus on is how young men and women value work, what do they expect to get out of work, and what are their experiences of work.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the identity, competences and professional development of corporate librarians. I have done an empirical study based on semi structured interviews with 11 information professionals who were working at Astra Zeneca at the time of the re-organizations of the company in 2009 which ultimately led to the closing of the libraries. I have also examined the views on competences and professional development of librarians in general, both in Sweden and in Denmark. I have used Thomas Brante?s theories on profession types as well as Anders Ørom?s theories on librarian identities as my theoretical framework.

The aim of this Masters thesis is to examine how the images of librarians are conceived and held by the public. It has often been claimed that librarians are subject to widely spread negative stereotyping. My purpose is to study the nature and origin of these stereotypes. Since popular media is one source of these stereotypes and images I have chosen to look into how librarians are characterized in 20 Swedish novels written between 1982-2002. The questions this thesis aims to answer are: What images of librarians occur in the novels? How are the tasks of the librarians respectively described in the novels? How are female and male librarians respectively described? The analysis of the novels is then compared with interviews with three professional librarians about their view of their professional role and their perceptions of its status and image.

Undersökningen ger en inblick i hur etablering av relationer går till mellan föräldrar och förskollärare under inskolning på en tysk förskola och två svenska förskolor. Undersökningsmodellen utgick från en kvalitativ ansats där vi har genomfört intervjuer och observationer med föräldrar och förskollärare. Förutom att belysa hur etableringen går till och vikten av den, tar vi även upp faktorer som kan påverka etableringen av relationer. Det första mötet är bland det viktigaste som finns när en ny relation etableras poängterar såväl föräldrar som förskollärare. Det kan bero på att det är just det mötet som kan komma att forma hela den fortsatta relationen mellan föräldrarna och förskollärarna.

The aim with this thesis was to investigate how the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet construct and reproduce imaginations of gender and gender order. An important premise for our work is the agenda theory, which states that media has great impact on what is on their audience mind. We chose to investigate how Aftonbladet wrote about two Swedish footballers, Lotta Schelin and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, during a European championship with each players national team. By using a method of critical discourse analysis based on Teun van Dijks idea and with gender glasses, we analysed eight articles and two chronicles regarding each player.Our results show that Aftonbladet construct and reproduce gender and gender order by its different ways of portraying Lotta Schelin and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Articles regarding Lotta Schelin tend to be more audience oriented, focus more on her and her teammates emotions and more often focus on things outside her profession as a footballer.

When gender-related refugee claims was ratified in the Swedish asylum law the 31 of March this year (2006) it opened the door for women with this specific refugee status to receive asylum in Sweden. The aim of this thesis has been to investigate how these specific female refugees are represented and described in the asylum process. The focus has been the construction of identity concerning these women in the Officials discourse at the Immigration department. The theoretical framework has been a critical discourse analysis regarding the exercise of power and dominance connected to the construction of identity.An understanding of the women with gender-related refugee claims as the Others has been perceived through the Officials discourse. Female refugees which have been exposed to persecution that occur in our part of the world (rape, wife abuse, etc.) are treated differently and much more restrictive, compared to women exposed to so called culture specific oppression (e.g.

Det ökade inflödet på landets akutmottagningar ställer stora krav på sjukvårdspersonal att de ger patienterna ett snabbt och säkert omhändertagande. Sjuksköterskan har som uppgift att bedöma, prioritera alla vårdsökande samt dokumentera all viktig information. Bedömningen sker utifrån riktlinjer som är baserade på sökorsak. Dokumentationen av olika åtgärder har betydelse för det fortsatta vård- och behandlingsarbetet och kan vara helt avgörande för patientsäkerheten. Syftet med studien var att beskriva hur väl dokumentationen genomfördes i patientens journal vid besök på akutmottagning.

Bakgrunden till uppsatsen är brukares upplevelse av myndighetskontakter och om det är förutsägbarheten eller flexibiliteten som är viktigast i beslutsfattandet för att få adekvat hjälp när man har ett funktionshinder. Vi har någon gång kommit i kontakt med myndigheter, kanske genom uttag av föräldraförsäkringen eller genom skolan, men det finns individer som har många olika möten med myndigheter och där kvaliteten i mötet kan vara avgörande för deras livskvalitet.Studiens utgångspunkter för den teoretiska referensramen är kommunikation mellan brukare och myndigheter och vad som vanligen orsakar en kommunikationssvårighet. Då kommunikationen inte fungerar kan det ofta leda till förlängda handläggningstider. Läkarintyg har varierande kvalitet som också kan vara en del i kommunikationssvårigheterna. Bristande samverkan är en annan.

Sjuksköterskan ska främja en god omvårdad och hälsa. Med detta kommer även ett ansvar att behandla personer med olika bakgrund på ett jämlikt sätt. Det finns forskning som tyder på att socioekonomiska faktorer påverkar den vård olika personer får och med det påverkas hälsan. Syftet med denna uppsats var att beskriva hur sjuksköterskan kan gå till väga för att motverka ojämlikheter i hälsa. Metoden som valdes en litteraturöversikt med metasyntes, då ambitionen var att söka den forskning som fanns inom valt problemområde och se vad det kunde resultera i för att hjälpa sjuksköterskan i hens arbete för en jämlik vård och hälsa.

Abstract in English:This essay constitutes a case study based upon in-depth interviews held with people who have, or have had, Exhaustion Disorder (ED), concerning their understanding and use of music and sound, encompassing experiences which are both positive and negative. The intention is to document how the illness influences the subjects' music use. The study shows that the respondents intuitively and consciously are using music by regulating, getting in touch with and manifesting their emotions. Music is an important tool in performing self therapy and to achieve a good existential health. Music can also provoke negative physical and mental reactions and affect the general health status for those diagnosed with ED.

The purpose of this composition was to examine which international and Swedish laws exist to govern the protection of asylum seekers claiming persecution on the grounds of sexual orientation. Additionally I wanted to look at what the need for such a right to refuge would be based upon, i.e. why asylum seekers ought to be granted such protection. In order to fulfil my objectives I based my material on international and Swedish laws, comparing these to studies of what negative impact growing up and living as homosexual in an oppressed environment can have on the individual, psychologically and socially. To highlight and exemplify my material I used Iran as a case-study to reflect my facts upon.I found that there has been, and still seems to be a lack of interest in and commitment to the persecution of homosexuals around the world.

Alléer har sedan länge varit ett ofta förekommande element längs med vägarna i Skåne och ger ett mycket karakteristiskt inslag i landskapsbilden. De har med tiden och samhällets utveckling dock blivit färre. Deras status kan i många fall vara dålig på grund av ålder, sjukdomar, stressiga miljöer och utbyggnad av vägnätet. Detta i sin tur kan göra träden försvagade och riskabla för trafikanter. Trots den dåliga statusen de kan ha är träden mycket värdefulla ur flera synvinklar.
