This project investigated how elevation and vegetation type influences variation in plant litter phenolic content and protein precipitation capacity among and within common plant species for two different vegetation types, heath and meadow, in a subarctic ecosystem in the Abisko region of northern Sweden. As nutrient availability generally decreases with increasing elevation as a result of decreasing temperature, I hypothesised that phenolic content would increase with elevation and be higher on the heath than the meadow. To test this, the total phenolic content and protein precipitation capacity was estimated in leaf litter from 13 species in both heath and meadow vegetation across an elevational gradient ranging from 500 to 1000 meters above sea level (m.a.s.l.) in the study region. The results showed that elevation and vegetation type both had a strong impact on both variables. Total phenolic concentrations decreased with elevation for the meadow, and were greater for the heath than the meadow.

Uppsatsen är en reflekterande text som behandlar ett verk som har skapats inom ramen för examensarbete i medier vid Högskolan i Skövde. Verket består av en större mängd konceptbilder över Bergsfästningen Hammerhold för en Oblivion modd. Inledningsvis beskrivs i texten bakgrunden och målsättningen med bilderna till modden. Därefter redogörs utifrån vilka utgångspunkter konceptbilderna har skapats.En kortare text beskriver arbetsprocessen med att framställa bilderna från den första skissen till den slutgiltiga renderingen i Photoshop. Därefter beskrivs arbetet med de första miljöerna, där reflektioner görs kring de lösningar och problem som uppkommit under arbetets gång.Slutligen presenteras arbetet med den slutgiltiga miljön Nomansland där lösningarna från det tidigare arbetet används mer metodiskt.

Uppsatsen behandlar ämnet information och undersöker hur texten formas och skapas av aktörerna. Fokus ligger på hur informationen skiljer sig mellan bloggar och institutionell media, vilket innebär såväl tryckta tidningar som webbtidningar. Norman Faircloughs kritiska diskursanalys samt Jürgen Habermas teori om det privata och det offentliga sätter ramen för uppsatsen där morgontidningen DN, kvällstidningen Expressen och olika blogginlägg analyseras. Vi ska utifrån en händelse se hur informationen formas av den som berättar historien. Analysen görs till en början på mikronivå genom en textanalys, för att sedan övergå till en strukturanalys där maktstrukturerna i samhället synliggörs.

Today's consumer society has led to never-ending choices in terms of brands, products and prices in an endless variety of shops. The retail industry is a very complex industry that includes many different types of sales channels and many different types of products. A consequence of this trend is that brand owners today face difficulties in understanding how their products are being evaluated and difficulties in knowing which final cause that make a consumer willing to by their product is hard to figure out. The industry is very diversified, which means that for a company to really understand their position and their role on the market it requires that the company put a lot of effort and also a lot of money in the process of trying to figure it out. We will with this paper try to explain a small piece of that understanding and we hope to get results, which contribute to the further research in this area.

This is a thesis on information design with a focus on text design. The purpose of this study is to gather knowledge about how information on the Easy-to-Read website, of the police, should be composed so that immigrants more easily will be able to read and understand the content. The goal of the study is to present a design proposal based on the knowledge that has been found through principles for readability, theoretical perspectives and literature, together with methods; readability analysis and interviews. The interviews were performed individually with the coordinator at polisen.se as well as four students from SFI (Swedish for immigrants). The study showed that the content on the website of the police is not adequately adapted to the needs of the target group. It also exhibited that the website's disposition is unclear, and that complicated terms are not explained.

Den här studien undersöker hur det vidgade textbegreppet, som breddar synen på text från att enbart gälla skriven text till att även innefatta bild, musik, film och andra medier, de facto används och fungerar i skolans verklighet.I studien tecknas först en bild av det forskningsläge som ligger till grund för hela studien och som samtidigt anknyter till undersökningsämnet.Den metod som används är en kvalitativ semistrukturerad intervjumetod där åtta respondenter, fyra lärare och fyra elever, intervjuas.Resultatet visar att det tycks finnas ett glapp mellan styrdokumentens tankar om det vidgade textbegreppet i skolan och hur det faktiskt ser ut i skolan.Uppsatsen avslutas med en diskussion där det i två teman, Textbegreppet i en vid definition och Olika syn på olika medier, diskuteras kring de empiriska resultaten i anknytning till den forskning som lyfts upp i studien. I studiens avslutande del, Avslutande reflektioner, poängteras glappet mellan styrdokumenten och verkligheten och en mer vid syn på textbegreppet uppmuntras..

Background: It has been a common perception in the media in recent years that external shopping malls extinguish the trade in Swedish downtown areas. Factors that promote external shopping malls are that customers become more and more indolent and more people buy cars. Despite this fact, downtown areas have a great deal to offer when it comes to creating a pleasant atmosphere. Furthermore, customers are becoming more demanding and want something extra while doing their shopping. More and more shopkeepers therefore realize the importance of events as an instrument to offer experiences to the customers.Purpose: To investigate whether shopkeepers in downtown Linköping consider the external shopping mall in Tornby a competitor or not and, if so, in what ways the trade in the downtown area has been affected by Tornby.

Social media has made it possible to have a conversation in real time through audio, images and text, with anyone worldwide. The easy availability of social media has created a new society. Companies and organizations have the opportunity to interact with their audiences and their target in a way not previously possible. Welcome to the Web 2.0 world!Social media is a collective name for the communication channels that allow users to communicate directly with each other in real time through text, image or sound. Examples of social media are blogs, SMS, Skype, Facebook, Flickr, Youtube, Linkedin and Myspace.The purpose of this essay is to explore social media's role and opportunities in terms of being able to influence companies and organizations marketing communication. We have used a qualitative approach and our thesis is based on a qualitative text analysis study where we have analyzed 13 articles (the articles are from scholarly journals, magazines and trade/professional) from 2007 to 2009.

Syftet med detta arbete är att studera elevers tidiga utveckling av förmågan att avkoda text och attbeskriva huvudtyper av olika utvecklingsvägar. Frågor som besvaras är vilka steg som kanidentifieras i utvecklingen av förmågan av avkoda text i den tidiga läsutvecklingen i årskurs ettoch två samt vilka huvudtyper av utvecklingsvägar som kan identifieras. För att svara på dessafrågor har 46 elevers tidiga läsning analyserats vid tre tillfällen under ett år. Vid läsningenanalyseras fyra olika aspekter av läsande. Dessa är ljudning, korrigering, avvikelse och förståelse.Fyra olika utvecklingsvägar har identifierats.
