The purpose of this thesis was to study descriptions of companies on their webpages on the Internet. This was performed from a socialconstructionist point of view with focus being on subject positionings and gender. A critical discourse analysis was carried out on two texts from the webpages of two organizations on the Internet. Using the three dimensional model for critical discourse analysis by Fairclough, the discourses and subject positionings that the texts included could be revealed. The purpose of this thesis was also to point out the importance of the use of language in recruiting personnel and to hopefully encourage organizations to put effort into text production to avoid discrimination.

Matematikundervisning kan se ut på en mängd olika sätt. Strävandemålen i Läroplanerna beskriver att läraren skall sträva efter att eleverna både skriftligt och muntligt bör redovisa och argumentera för sina lösningar samt lära sig hantera olika matematiska hjälpmedel. Tanken är att läraren skall planera för en undervisningsform som innehåller dessa strävandemål.Utifrån ovanstående har jag gjort en kvalitativ studie med hjälp av ett laborativt grupprov. Studien bygger på att undersöka om man med hjälp av prov kan stärka elevernas motivation där de tränar sig i att få en bra lösningsstrategi genom att ge dem poäng för detta. Provet bygger på att eleverna arbetar två och två där de i text ska redovisa och argumentera för sina uträkningar.Min samlade bild av elevernas förmåga att strukturera uppgifterna på ett bra och tydligt sätt samt i text förklara hur de löst uppgifterna blev inte riktigt vad jag väntat mig.

The purpose of this thesis is to do a critical review of the aid organization SOS Children?s Villages text- and video campaigns, from a postcolonial perspective. Our purpose is divided into two questions: Are there colonial values in the advertising campaigns? Which language- and image strategies are used by SOS Children?s Villages to put across their messages? Our material consists of 10 selected video clips, and four printed ads that are made up of an image and a short text, which are part of a campaign named: Inte ett enda barn ska behöva vara ensamt (translation: Not a single child should have to be alone). We have chosen to use text- and image analysis as a method in our review of the material.

I vårt examensarbete har vi undersökt bildens påverkan på barns läsutveckling. Syftet med undersökningen är att ta reda på hur barn använder sig av bilder när de läser texter samt hur bild tillsammans med text kan påverka läsinlärningen. För att ta reda på våra frågeställningar har vi intervjuat barn i årskurs två kring olika bilder. Med bilden som utgångspunkt har vi studerat litteratur som berör området. I undersökningen kom vi fram till att bilder är en viktig del till läsförståelsen och att barnen använder sig av bilder när de läser.

Hur kan man använda sig av informationsdesignsprinciper för att formge layouten på en mjölkförpackning? Vilket formspråk används inom mjölkförpackningslayout, och hur visualiserar man ett företags varumärke genom bid och text? I min upsatts beskriver jag hur jag jobbat teoretiskt och praktiskt för att besvara dessa frågor..

Läxor har alltid varit en del av skolan och synen på läxor under årens gång varierat historiskt. Från början av 1900-talet var läxor viktiga för fostran och läxor har handlat om fakta som ska nötas in. Under 1940- talet dyker kraftiga motreaktioner dyker upp mot läxor. 1962 skrivs läxor in i läroplanen och de var mycket detaljerat skrivet för hur läxorna ska utföras. Inom Lgr80 får läxan ett uppsving och en strängare ton, men i och med Lpo94 så skrivs läxor ut ur kursplanen.

The background to this paper is the events that have taken place in the Swedish area of responsibility in Afghanistan where Swedish troops have been ambushed by the insurgents. Although the troops primarily where riding in Toyota Land Cruisers they had no casualties. I think that the Swedish force needs other vehicles that can be armed and are armoured.When I compared three different types of armoured vehicles, I found that PTGB 6 is the vehicle of choice, according to the special needs that a Swedish EOD-squad, their task and their equipment have. .

 In light of the resent surge in globalization, and the heightened competition that follows as a result of this, there has been an increase in the importance that is placed into understanding buyer behaviour. This increase has been seen since the realization that by building strong customer relationships it is much easier to reach these through the marketing communications that are put in effect. There are also a number of upsides to enlisting the customers at an early stage in product development, such as creating greater value and a stronger sense of involvement.Röhnisch is therefore trying to show a genuine interest in supplying the costumers needs as they adapt and evolve. In order to accomplish this strive towards gaining a deeper understanding into the thoughts and attitudes that precedes the buying behaviour they conduct regular surveys. To complement this, the purpose of this paper will be to determine the actual preferences and buying behaviour of the market segment that Röhnisch has chosen for themselves, and while doing so, keeping an emphasis on loyalty.

This thesis, in the field of healthcare logistics, has been carried out at Hjärt- och Medicincentrum (HMC) at the University Hospital in Linköping during the fall and spring of 2012/2013. The thesis is done by two students at Linköping University at master?s level within the framework of Industrial Engineering and Management.As Sweden's county councils should not make a profit or loss, it is important that the councils are aware of how much care processes cost. Kardiologiska kliniken at HMC in Östergötland?s county council is one of the clinics that are profitable.

Etthundratrettio miljoner läkemedelsförpackningar säljs årligen i Sverige. Varje förpackning inkluderar en bipacksedel om det specifika läkemedlet. Bipacksedeln är utformad utifrån EU-direktivet 92/27EEC. Cirka trettio procent av alla läkemedelsanvändare läser bipacksedeln. Anledningen till varför patienterna inte läser den, beror på att bipacksedelns text är svår läsa och förstå.

All my short stories have been written in an intuitive way according to which no outline of characters, intrigue or plot was made in advance. A consequence of this process is that not even myself as the author is aware of the meaning of the texts and therefore I too have to interpret the stories. Because of the character of the text, I use an analysis of archetypes according to C. G. Jung?s analytic psychology.

What is the relation of image and word, of sentences and pictures? What kind of message does this combination produce when juxtaposed on a single material plane? And how do we read its ?infinite? relation? These are the questions at the center of this inquiry. My main interest concerns the exact nature of the relation between photographic images and textual elements of poetic language when these are juxtaposed in what I call Phototext poetry.The thesis calls into question the conventional reading habits of the conjunction of photographs and texts, and seeks to understand the more complex connections intrinsic to the relation image/word and its material and perceptual play in poetic works. Does a text always ?anchor? the multiple meanings of an image, as Roland Barthes argues? What if the alterations of an image could ?anchor? certain fractions of a poetic, polysemantic textual construct? Is a photograph indifferent to the visual, material permutations of texts that certain contemporary poetic practices produce?I discuss phototextual works and collaborations of various kinds, from Molin fontän [?Molin?s fountain?] (1866) over classic surrealist poetry to language-oriented writing.

This thesis is ordered by Peab Sweden AB Regional Jönköping and concerns of warranty inspections.The intention is to work out a basis, which show the most common complaints is the warranty inspections, and make a small analysis on what causes them to be.

This thesis tackles the subject concerning arguments as a conceptual basis forunderstanding the general strategy of the European Union Commission on issuesconcerning EU-harmonized environmental taxes, politically delicate and intergovernmentaldependent. The Commission's official proposals, communications and other relevant documents are subject to inquiry, where the theoretical bases are that harmonized environmental taxes in the EU is an issue conceived as supported by academic debate, and where the institutional arrangement in relation to an European-national dimension alongside the discursive context, allows meaningfulspace for arguments. The study makes a distinction between substantial (environmental cancerns in itself) and instrumental (other benefits, mostly economic ones) rationality as a foundation in various types of arguments.The study's main findings are that the Commission's official documents over the past 20 years, have been trying to keep a strong image of reason and knowledge based arguments for an EU-wide environmental tax reform. In particular, the types of arguments tend to appeal to the Member States by stressing the instrumental rationality in a European environmental tax reform, indicating the value of good arguments as a part of the Commission's main strategies. In sum, this may have further theoretical suggestions concerning questions of environmental and elimate change policies in a European context or other more general studies relying on theoretical assumptions of logics of argument, legitimacy or studies of motives behind action strategies in politically sensitive issues such as taxation at supranationallevel..
