[Abstract: This study examines the observed difference between Swedish and foreign owners when it comes to nominating committee participation. The background to the study is that foreign owners seem to participate in Swedish nominating committees to a lesser extent than their Swedish counterparts. The focus is on institutional owners and the companies studied are all listed companies who follow the Swedish code of corporate governance. Particular attention is paid to perceived differences in behavior that can be explained using the common corporate governance related theories of Exit, Voice and Loyalty as well as Agency Theory. These explanations are chiefly related to differences in attitudes regarding insider information, different knowledge levels regarding the purpose and workings of nominating committees of the Swedish kind as well as differences due to home market biases.].

Aim: The purpose of this paper is to see if there has been a change over time in the performance and in the spoken word of the Swedish cooking programs. By testing the theory of intimization on the cooking programs I get the opportunity to see if the border between the private and the public have become clearer or more difficult to notice, and if the new language, the informal language as intimization entails, has been used in Swedish cooking programs since the 70s until today, or if there´s ever been a formal language in Swedish programs? Method/Material: I'm using a rhetorical approach that includes a three-step analysis. Analysing the context, means to persuade and performance. The empirical material I intend to analyze is Swedish cooking programs from the 70s until today, 2010.

This report shows a qualitative study on how six young adults in the ages between 20-30 who are students at Linnaeus University in Kalmar percieve their news consumption habits and their use of news media on digital platforms. The aim of the study is to examine whether the six students feel the strogest connection with the press where they were raised or where they currently live, why they choose to use the media platforms they do and what meaning the use of the media bare to the students. We have seen a lack of information concerning why young people choose to consume news online instead of in printed media.The study is focused on theories concerning what affects people in their choice of media platforms and channels. This report shows that geographic nature, the quality of the content and which political ideology the daily press is founded on does not affect the respondents choice of media. Our study shows that the most important factor for the respondents is that the platform is easily accesssible and flexible.

Titel: Liten mot Stor: En studie om press i affärsrelationerÄmne: Företagsekonomi III ? ledning och utveckling i handelsföretag, 30 hpFörfattare: Emelie Almqvist, Charlotte Dahlesson och Victor LagergrenHandledare: Christine Tidåsen Bakgrund: Inköpsorganisationer har funnits länge och växer sig allt större på dagens marknader, därmed har de en stark position som har allt fler konkurrensfördelar gentemot andra aktörer. Detta bidrar till att inköpsorganisationerna erhåller makt i affärsrelationen till deras leverantörer, genom fördelaktiga avtal samt högre krav. Detta medför att leverantören producerar allt större volymer och anpassar sig efter den större aktörens behov.Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om press kan uppstå mellan svenska, något mindre leverantörer och stora inköpsorganisationer. Vidare ämnar vi undersöka om det uppstår någon form av beroendeställning samt hur hanterar de etik och makt i relationen.Metod: Vi har analyserat hur pressen av en större inköpsorganisation upplevs av leverantörer genom att genomföra en kvalitativ studie.

The background to the work bases on the consumers view around Swedish and foreign meat products, and how the attitude around the meat products is pursued in the shops. The consumers request high meat quality and security . Many consumers value local produced and ecological meat products but the price is too high. We have done verbal interviews with consumers on three different shops, where we asked questions and had dialogues around Swedish meat products where the consumers have told us their arguments and opinions about Swedish and foreign meat. The result shows that the majority of consumers consider that it is important to know that meat is produce in Sweden.

The aim of the study was to examine how Swedish tabloid journalism presented the contestants in the Swedish version of the reality show Idol 2009. We wanted to see which approaches tabloid news papers use when constructing the public identities of them. We have used text analysis to examine 37 articles and nine front pages with focus on the words, propositions, comparisons and parables that describe four of the contestants. In addition we have looked at myths and connotations shown in the pictures by using a semiotic analysis. The results show that the Swedish tabloids tend to describe the contestants in relation to their performances and personalities.

This BA Thesis in Journalism is a quantitative analysis of the coverage of wolves in Swedish printed media. Namely four daily newspapers, two national and two local. The two national newspapers are Aftonbladet which is a leading tabloid newspaper with national coverage and Svenska Dagbladet which is one of the two major newspapers with national coverage, as well as coverage of the greater Stockholm region. The two local newspapers are Falu Kuriren, which is located in Falun and mainly cover the province of Dalarna and Nya Wermlands-tidningen which is located in Karlstad and mainly cover the province of Värmland. These are provinces which have a large wolf population.As the work progressed we found that the newspapers have handled the coverage of the wolf in, what we believe, a good way.

Jag har gjort en kvantitativ studie av hur könsfördelningen mellan experter ser ut i tryckt press. Studiens syfte har varit att undersöka om det finns en jämn könsfördelning mellan de oberoende experter som uttalar sig i medier idag. Jag har undersökt kvällstidningen Aftonbladet och morgontidningen Svenska dagbladet, för att jämföra om könsfördelningen mellan experter skiljer sig mellan kvällspress och morgonpress. Båda tidningarna har granskats under en verklig vecka 2012 och under samma vecka 1992. Det för att undersöka om könsfördelningen mellan experterna har förändrats under de senaste 20 åren.Totalt omfattar undersökningen 195 experter som analyserats med hjälp av sju olika variabler.

The purpose with this essay is to get a deeper insight into why there is a lack of male educators in Swedish preschools. I also want to know which role the male educators have in comparison to the female educators. This essay builds on four questions, which covers:The cause of the lack of males in Swedish preschoolsIf there are any gender bound expectations on male educators in the Swedish preschoolsWhat the woman educators perceive about the roles of the male educators in the Swedish preschoolsHow the male educator experience his own work in a workplace dominated by womenThe method I have used is a qualitative interview study in which I have interviewed four male educators and two woman educators from three different preschools. The result of this study shows that male educators gave different reasons to why there is a lack of male educators in Swedish childcare. According to the male educators the reason for this situation is that there is a worry to be seen as a feminine person, get singled out as a pedophile and that the childcare sector has low status.

I den här uppsatsen bedrivs en narrativ medieanalys av hur den svenska rapporteringen om Ukraina sett ut mellan januari 2004 och mars 2006 utifrån sex rikstäckande tidningar. Genom kvantitativa och kvalitativa metoder och med hjälp av ett ramverk av de teoretiska begreppen stereotyper, berättelser och diskussionen om "den Andre" i Europa, urskiljer och diskuterar jag ett antal huvudteman i bilden av Ukraina. De dominerande huvudteman i rapporteringen är den orange revolutionen, diskussionen om Ukraina i relation till öst och väst i Europa, historiska referenser och ekonomiska möjligheter.Bilden av Ukraina är förvånansvärt homogen i de olika tidningarna. Jag urskiljer en långsamt förändrad bild av Ukraina ? med den orange revolutionen som vändpunkt ? där landet går från att betraktas som ett Gränsland till ett Europaland.

The aim of this two-year masters thesis is to look for the Swedish public library´s core business, using theories about competence. The approach is qualitative. It is done by studying the Unesco Public Library Manifesto, the Swedish library legislation, the education in library and information science, two important Swedish library related journals and by asking public librarians about their work and point of view regarding competence.The research shows mainly two sides of the core competence of public librarians: information technology competence and literature knowledge. The conclusion is that the two meet in the idea of mass education, which could therefore be called the Swedish public library´s core business..

Jag följer bl a en debatt om bloggfenomenet och analyserar den utifrån upplösningen privat/offentligt. Jag granskar en mängd artiklar om bloggar för att se om man kan hitta generella tendenser i hur de omnämns. Lite jämförande textanalys av ledartexter och bloggtexter får jag också plats med..
