Är verkligheten indelad i ämnen? - en undersökning av elevers upplevelser av ämnesövergripande arbetssätt i tematisk form
Our purpose with this essay was to explore students? experiences of interdisciplinary working method in thematic form. With a starting point from Lpf-94, the curriculum for the upper secondary school and several theories of learning, we wanted to explore if interdisciplinary working method in practice could create an environment for a meaningful learning situation. The study took place in an upper secondary school class, study preparatory, third grade, who works interdisciplinary in thematic form. Our study was qualitative and we used an open structural questionnaire where the students confidentially were able to describe the working method, explain which subjects that participate in the work, and bring forward good respectively bad factors about the method.
Mezzanine - en efterställd fordring: En utredning av rättsliga förutsättningar vid obestånd för fordringsmezzanine
Mezzanine is a collective term for hybrid instruments on the leverage finance market, offered as an alternative to traditional debt. As a hybrid, mezzanine combines elements of debt and equity financing. Mezzanine appears, in its most common shape, as subordinated to the senior debt, but ranks higher than pure equity. Reminiscent of security interests, the main importance of subordination is upon the default of the borrower. Therefore, the aim of the thesis is partly to investigate the legal prerequisites for a solid subordination of mezzanine financing, and partly to explain the consequences of subordination in a default.
Vad det nu hette...Jämställdhet...? : Ett utredningsarbete på en klinik
The aim of this investigation work " What was it called...Equality...? is to study a clinics current gender equailty plan from a gender approach and by a field survey see if, and in that case, how it can be improved. A connection between existing gender norms and gender power strukctures is applied in the results of this survey in order to illustrate their significance from an individual as well as a structural perspektive.The survey has been carried through by a field survey as well as a discourse analysis as method. Yvonne Hirdmans gender power system is on of the main theoretical points of departure.The results that I have achieved in this essay is that gender can be looked at in different ways within the labour market where women have the main responsibility over the family and are considered more nursing then men. Men on the other hand are thinking of their carriers and have higher salary requirements.
Den omedvetna texten : En psykoanalytisk studie över affektens och överföringens betydelse vid tolkning och läsning av skönlitteratur
The aim of this study is to explore the fundaments of all psychoanalytic interpretative models, and especially the psychoanalytic literary criticism. Drawing from different fields as affect theory, neuropsychology and Lacan's structural psychoanalysis, strong evidence is found that language in itself contains and transmits affects.The empiric study indicates that different readers of a text, regardless of their interpretation of the text, show similar changes in mood as a function of the text. This seems to be possible as an effect of the separation of the sign between the signifier and the signification. And this supports that the signifier has some kind of direct access to the affects. This is due to the fact that the signifier belongs to the imaginary protolinguistic level while the signification belongs to the symbolic and linguistic level of a higher order.
Rysslands officiella retorik i kampen mot terrorism : en analys av president Putins terroristretorik
Denna undersökning presenterar och analyserar president Putins retorik i kampen mot terrorism i anslutning tillterrordåden 11 september, 2001 i USA och gisslandramat i Moskva ett drygt år senare.Undersökningen tar sin utgångspunkt i den ryska terroristdefinition och de principer för kampen mot terrorismensom framgår av den ryska säkerhetsdoktrinen från 2000 samt terroristlagen från 1998. Undersökningensförhållningssätt till den ryska terrorismen är det som formulerats av Ekaterina Stepanova. I undersökningenutnyttjas de teoretiska perspektiven realism- och liberalism för att fördjupa analysen av Putins retorik.Analysen visar att det officiella ryska förhållningssättet till kampen mot terrorism har förändrats efter den 11september. Putin har utvecklat en retorik som regelmässigt söker att utöka det internationella samarbetet påterroristbekämpningens område. De åtgärder som lyfts fram är både i det korta tidsperspektivet att förnekaterrororganisationer deras möjligheter till finansiering och tillgång till fristäder men även långsiktiga åtgärder somverkar för att förhindra terrorismens uppkomst genom en rättvisare fördelningspolitik.Detta påtagligt liberalt präglade budskap får dock initialt i de omedelbara kommentarerna efter terrordåden ståtillbaka för en tydligare realistiskt färgad retorik där militär makt intar en central plats i reaktionen..

Ordets tillblivelse : aspekter av Nietzsches tidiga språkfilosofi
The thesis examines the nineteenth century German philosopher and philologist Friedrich Nietzsche?s early notion of how a word is generated in the process of perception. It does so by looking at the ?metaphorical transitions? Nietzsche talks about in the essay ?Über Wahrheit und Lu?ge im außermoralischen Sinne? (?On Truth and Lie in an Extra-MoralSense?). According to the relevant passage in ?On Truth and Lie?? an image is first created as a metaphor for a stimulus and a word is then created as a metaphor for the image.
Dataspelsarvet - klassiker och kanonisering
This master thesis deals with computer game classics and a possible computer game canon. It looks closer at four computer game genres - adventure, RPG, action and strategy - in order to discern which games are considered classics and what characterizes them.

Simuleringar: En kritisk-realistisk analys av simuleringsbegreppet
Problem/bakgrund: Simulering som teoretiskt begrepp, och det som finns i simuleringsbegreppets kontext - simulacrum, det hyperreella, symboler och bilder - framstår som abstrakt och svårfångat, på gränsen till ett skönlitterärt argumenterande. Vad innebär egentligen en simulering? Vad är simulacra? Och, framförallt, är simuleringsbegreppet värt att lägga värde i som ett teoretiskt begrepp? Det är min avsikt att, i denna uppsats, analysera detta begrepp. Att sätta det i sin teoretiska kontext och analysera begreppets förutsättningar.Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att, med hjälp av en analysmodell hämtad från den kritiska realismen, analysera simuleringsbegreppets sociologiska relevans.Tillvägagångssätt: Jag har valt att använda mig av en kritisk-realistisk kunskapssyn och undersöker simuleringsbegreppet utifrån en modell i sex steg. För att presentera simulerings begreppet använder jag mig av Jean Baudrillards teorier om simuleringsbegreppet och dess förutsättningar.
Super Mario wears Prada - En studie om produktplacering i elektroniska spel
Syfte: Syftet med studien är att förstå konsumentens upplevelse avproduktplacering i elektroniska spel. Metod: Vi använder oss av fokusgrupper för att samla in empiriskt material. Den största fördelen med detta är att deltagarna i en fokusgrupp utmanas och ifrågasätts av de övriga gruppdeltagarna och därför måste deltagarna motivera och reflektera över sina ståndpunkter.Vi kan därför uppnå större förståelse av de bakomliggandeorsakerna till deltagarnas åsikter. Teoretiska perspektiv: Vi har använt oss av teorier om perception för att förstå hur konsumenternatar till sig produktplacering. Teorier om det implicita ochexplicita minnet hjälper oss förstå hur konsumenterna kommerihåg varumärken från produktplaceringen.
