This paper attempts to study the Swedish tariffs during the interwar period in order to asses the level of protectionism in Swedish tariff policy during the period. It is foremost the nominal tariffs that are studied, however an estimate of the effective rate of protection of the tariffs is also calculated for a number of goods. In order to asses the level of protectionism, the Swedish tariffs are also compared with Finnish tariff levels during the interwar period.The sample of Swedish tariffs that have been studied in this paper include the fifteen most important kinds of import goods and the fifteen most important kinds of export goods. The nominal tariff of each kind of goods have been weighted by their share of the total import value.The Swedish specific tariffs did not change much during the interwar period except for a few goods such as petroleum, coffee and automobiles. The fluctuation in nominal tariffs were in most cases the result of the steep fall in prices during the period.

In this thesis, I discuss the impact Swedish national culture may have on Swedish diplomats. This is a qualitative study and I have used theories from studies of international negotiations to compare the oppositional results of those scientists with my interview material. With the help of my interview material from seven Swedish diplomats and five foreign diplomats I have compared their perceptions of Swedish culture, Swedish diplomats and their thoughts about the existence of an international diplomatic culture with well known sceientists of international negotiations. My main question is whether there is an international diplomatic subculture, without any national impact, or not. The mission is to base the thesis with earlier science and then compare and contrast with my interview material.

AbstractTitle: How does Europeanization effect Swedish alcohol policy? .Titel: Hur påverkar Europeiseringen svensk alkoholpolitik?Minor Thesis in Political Science, January 2008Author : Markus GustafssonTutor : Lennart BergfeldtVäxjö UniversityThis essay will deal with the influence which Europeanization has on domestic politics.

Titel: När debatten tystnar ? En kartläggning av hur genusforskning skildras i svensk pressFörfattare: Sanna Andersson och Sofia JohanssonKurs: MK1500, Examensarbete i Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskapTermin: Vårterminen 2013Handledare: Britt BörjessonSidantal: 51 sidor/16 142 ordSyfte: ?Att kartlägga och analysera hur ämnet genusforskning skildras i svensk press samtvilka som hörs?Metod: Kvantitativ innehållsanalysMaterial: 425 artiklar som fångats upp av sökordet genusforsk* i fjorton svenska tidningar mellan 1 januari 2008 ? 31 december 2012Huvudresultat: Vårt resultat visar att artiklar där genusforskning nämns främst hamnar pånyhetsplats. Det sakområde genusforskning främst figurerar inom är kultur och väldigt få artiklar har ett huvudsakligt fokus på genusforskning. Den svenska pressen skriver övervägande neutralt om genusforskning, men vi har även funnit en större andel positiva artiklar jämfört med de av negativ karaktär. Genusforskare är nästan aldrig skribenter tillartiklarna där genusforskning nämns.

Background: Officers in the Swedish Armed Forces educates their soldiers in various skills and arenas. The Officers get their educational training in officer training courses conducted by the Swedish Armed Forces or the Swedish national defence college. The aim of this study was to find out how the cadets, belive that they are formed into educators, their views on the literature being used in the Swedish armed Forsces, and their views on leadership and educational science.Methods: The data for analysis were collected in spring 2010, by use of a questionnaire among cadets studying the tactical/operational program Ta/Op 07/10 at the Swedish national defence college. The respons rate was 69, 6 %.Results: The majority of the cadets thought that experience was the most important factor in becoming a good educator. Most of the cadets also thought that the literature being used by the Swedish armed forces was good, however, few cadets stated that they will use the material for reflection on their own teaching when working as officers.Conclusions: The Cadets had a positive attitude towards the educational philosphy and literature being used, but few will use the literature in reflecting on themselves as teachers.

Flextronics Design i Linköping, som ingår i den stora amerikanskägda Flextronics- koncernen, är en industrialiseringsenhet på mobiltelefonsidan. Det innebär att verksamheten kretsar kring att ta fram test- och monteringsprocesser, samt tillhörande utrustning, som sedan implementeras hos högvolymsfabrikerna belägna i olika låg-kostnads-länder.På mobiltelefonerna finns, beroende på modell, ett antal detaljer som pressas fast, antingen för hand, med en manuell press, eller med hjälp av en pneumatisk press. Den sistnämnda pressmetoden används när det rör sig om lite längre presstider på detaljen, från ett par sekunder och uppåt. Idag finns det två modeller som drivs med tryckluft och som pressar med olika kraftintervall beroende på vilket lufttryck som tillförs till systemet. Det har visat sig att det finns ett behov hos företaget att ta fram en ny konstruktion som pressar med ett lägre kraftintervall än de befintliga modellerna kan erbjuda.

During the Swedish banking crisis in the early 1990?s, the government paid out 65 billion Swedish kronor to save Swedish banks from bankruptcy. In the process, two banks left the private sector to be taken over by the state. This thesis builds on a study from 1998 in seeking to quantify the financial end result for the Swedish government from the subsidies. Taking a cash flow approach and accounting for the time difference, it starts with the money paid out during the years of crisis and subtracts the money that has since been returned to the government by successful management of the relinquished assets.

As a Swedish landscape architecture student living in Australia for five years, I have often wondered if my memories and my associations with the landscape and the nature in Sweden, are the same as other Swedish people living in Melbourne. Most of the Swedish people who live here in Melbourne remember and associate Sweden?s nature and landscape with where they grew up or where they used to live. The plants that most of the Swedish people I asked missed from Sweden were associated to special feelings or activities. The general type of landscape people remember from Sweden is that of a landscape covered in forests, which you can walk freely through. With these memories as a foundation and with inspiration from the Swedish landscape architect Thorbjörn Anderson?s way of creating places, by letting a few strong changes play against the existing elements,2 but also with consideration of the climate and the severe shortage of water that is current in Melbourne, will I create a design concept for the garden surrounding the Swedish Church in Melbourne. A design concept that will generate memories and associations to Swedish landscapes..

Titel: Press på kulturen eller kultur i pressen? ? En kartläggning av kulturen och kulturpolitiken i artiklar berörande Västra Götalandsregionen i regionens dagspress.Författare: Erik Karlsson, Jenny Svensson & Malin SvenssonUppdragsgivare: Kultursekretariatet i Västra GötalandsregionenKurs: Examensarbete i Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap vid institutionen för journalistik och masskommunikation, Göteborgs universitet.Termin: Höstterminen 2009Sidantal: 41 inklusive bilagorHandledare: Britt BörjessonSyfte: Studiens syfte är att kartlägga dagspressbilden av kultur och kulturpolitik i artiklar berörande Västra Götalandsregionen.Metod: Kvantitativ innehållsanalys samt kvalitativ textanalys.Material: Artiklar om kultur och kulturpolitik från tio regionala/lokala dagstidningar.Huvudresultat: Resultatet av denna undersökning visar att rapporteringen av kultur och kulturpolitik i regionens dagspress är relativt stort, hela 10 % av all rapportering om Västra Götalandsregionen berör ämnet kultur. Innehållet i de artiklar som fokuserar på kulturpolitik utgörs till största del av negativt skrivna händelser. Det går att utläsa att de artiklar som är insändare samt debattartiklar är skrivna av politiker eller andra högt uppsatta personer. Genom att fastställa 3 stereotyper har man kunnat slå fast vilka olika typer av kulturpolitiska artiklar det finns..

In 2007 Swedish Meats, the dominant Swedish meat-producers cooperative sold its slaughtering and processing industry. The goal of a producer cooperative structure is to create value for members through vertical integration, and to strengthen members? market position. When Swedish Meats sold the slaughtering and processing components, it ceased in some respects to serve the function of a cooperative. This is a lost opportunity for both members and non-members, because Swedish Meats as a functioning cooperative could have exploited its dominant market position to positively effect producer?s prices.

In school there are many pupils with Swedish as their second language and these pupils often have less basic condition compared with pupils with Swedish as their mother tongue and the most common root cause is lack of language knowledge, also the time spent in Sweden matters.I have trough questionnaires and literature studies investigated if there, for pupils with Swedish as their second language, is an easier way to figure out how to read and write in Swedish using fiction literature as learning material compared with ordinary ways.In the questionnaires that I performed participated a number of teachers that teach Swedish as a second language. These teachers all work in schools with a big share of pupils with Swedish as a second language.I also tried to evaluate if there was a difference between teachers with a graduation in Swedish as second language compared with these who don?t have a graduate but still work with these pupils.The result shows that I discovered that only the graduated teachers have used fiction literature as a learning material in the daily work and have experienced good results from the pupils, they also knew why they used fiction literarture for reading and writing training.As a teacher it is very important to have the knowledge regarding children that have Swedish as a second language, to be able to support them in a correct way.Despite the pupil can?t speak or read the new language, it has feelings and knowledge about the circumstances that they can?t express.The teachers mission is to knew and have understanding for these circumstances.Keywords: Pupils with Swedish as second language, learning to read and write, fiction literarture, school..

No abstract.

The purpose of this thesis is to study how homosexuals and homosexuality were represented in the press during the trials against the Pentecostal pastor Åke Green, and to what kind of social representations and narratives these representations can be related.Using critical discourse analysis and theories about the differentiation between in- and outgroups I try to unveil implicit meanings and attitudes towards gay people mainly at the local text level. The material consists of articles in Ölandsbladet and Dagens Nyheter that were produced before, during and after the trials.The analysis suggests that homosexuals are construed as a deviant outgroup and that the majority, the ingroup, is presented as an essentially heterosexual, tolerant community. Homosexuality is wrong and heterosexuality is the right way of living. Homosexuals, in terms of group lobbyism, are construed as an enemy, a threat, against Western ideals such as family values and freedom of speech. They indirectly become a threat to Swedish democracy.

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka hur grekiska journalister på de fyra största dagstidningarna och en av de största söndagstidningarna ser på sitt yrke. Undersökningen avseräven de yrkesmässiga villkoren och vilka problem grekisk press handskas med. Grekiska medier har en lång historia av direkta band till staten och olika politiska partier. Objektiviteten har sällan satts idet främsta rummet. Numera har dessa band luckrats upp då internet har en bredare spridning och det finns ett bredare utbud av privata kanalerna både inom television och radio.Inledningsvis diskuteras hur grekisk media ser ut idag.
