Problemformulering: Sen jag själv var arbetslös ungdom och inskriven i ungdomsgarantin har jag velat skriva om detta. Det dröjde innan jag fick tillfälle och när det uppenbarade sig kunde jag inte låta det passera förbi. När jag berättade för mina bekanta vad jag ville skriva om dröjde inte reaktionerna på sig. Det verkade vara mycket att tala om kring detta ämne och jag vad andra hade att säga om sin upplevelse i ungdomsgarantin.

Vattentäthet och ?andning? är två eftersträvade komfortegenskaper hos funktionsplagg idag. Utveckling pågår kontinuerligt och nya material dyker ständigt upp på marknaden. Vattentäthet mäts vanligtvis genom hydrostatisk testmetod där resultatet visar de tryck i meter vattenpelare (mvp) ett material klarar innan 3 droppar tränger igenom dess konstruktion.

Earlier quantitative entrepreneurial studies with a focus on poverty rate has centred their arguments and analyses entirely on income differences which has resulted in a high poverty rate among self-employed. Their results shows that variables such as age, gender, hours of labour and structure of the household significantly affect the poverty rate among self-employed. In this study we aim the focus on material living standards instead of income differences, thus using a more representative approach while studying entrepreneurial poverty. The purpose of the study was to examine how personality traits (big five) affect the material living standards among the self-employed in Sweden, using a group of employed as a control group. Variables earlier known to affect the poverty risk among self-employed where used as control variables together with education and household income.

Cremated remains have long been regarded as a highly complex material that often provides unsatisfactory results. This essay discusses the problems that arise when methods commonly used on unburned bone material are used in a cremated skeletal material. The present essay discusses the results from osteological analysis of seven cremations from Pre-Roman Iron Age from a large cemetery in Alvastra, Smörkullen. Several methods were ultimately not applied in the present study as they were insufficient for application on the relevant material. Since the methods were inapplicable and fragments available for gender assessments too low, no sex assessments were made.
