Denna magisteruppsats, skriven för Stockholms universitets magisterkurs i historia som ett led iFörsvarshögskolans chefsprogram, har som syfte att beskriva och diskutera svensk luftoperativkrigsplanering 1958-1966 utifrån ett doktrinbegrepp. Någon uttalad luftoperativ doktrin fanns intevid denna tid varför denna får rekonstrueras utifrån en metod där ett antal faktorer beskrivs.Exempel på dessa är högre säkerhetspolitiska och militärstrategiska nivåer, lägre taktiska nivåer,upplevd hotbild, ledning, flygvapnets krigsplanläggning, samverkan med andra försvarsgrenar ochutveckling av nya vapensystem. Källmaterialet består i huvudsak av flygstabens hemliga arkivfrån samma år, vilket inte har studerats tidigare utifrån ett liknande syfte. Vidare problematiserasdoktrinutvecklingen genom att den även diskuteras utifrån olika perspektiv vars värde för ökadförståelse prövas.De konkreta frågeställningarna lyder:- Hur kan flygvapnets luftoperativa doktrinutveckling 1958-1966 beskrivas?- I vilken mån kan denna doktrinutveckling förstås utifrån rationalistiskt respektiveorganisatoriskt synsätt?Utifrån det överordnade säkerhetspolitiska ställningstagandet om alliansfrihet följde ett relativtstarkt försvar och den så kallade svenska linjen.

The data is set into the context of the small-world networks models of Duncan J. Watts and rich-club models of Sergi Valverde och Ricard V. Sole.Main results: 5183 unique blogs have written about the subject in 22779 blog posts to which 28128 inlinks from other blogposts are made. Just over one fifth of the blogs are linkted to each other in one big network, where the remaining blogs stand without any ingoing or outgoing links.

The investigation aims to clarify to what extent non-conscious thought has efficacy in for instance decision making,and also examine some aspects of the question whether decisions are caused by free will. This is done by an analysisof new research in neuroscience, economics, the combination of the two within neuroeconomics, evolutionarytheory and especially the new theory of Unconscious thought (Nordgren & Dijksterhuis 2006), which will enjoyspecial scrutiny due to its recentness in the scientific field. A decision strategy ought to put high-level consciouscognition to use where it is most effective, and this is on a different level than the canonized one. Meta decisionmaking is decision making concerning which decisions ought to be made consciously. It is the area where the largestamount of freedom can be obtained wherein the largest amount of thought effort ought to be invested.

Sweden's government says in the bill 2008/09: 140 that military service should be suspended and replaced with a system based on voluntary recruitment. In the essay, I will make an argument analysis of the parliamentary debate on the bill from the 12th of June 2009 with the following questions: On what is the different side?s argument based on? Are the arguments essentially and factually substantiated? Is there a clear political party tendency among the for-/counter arguments? The method is a "Pro et contra" analysis, a logical systematization of the arguments. The analysis will take start in the headline; Conscription should be suspended in favour of a voluntary system based on contract employed soldiers. The presentation of arguments in the analysis will be guided by the chronological order.

Ever since its conceptual birth, the questioning of consequences due to the implementation of ideas from the reformation doctrine, called New Public Management, has been a common occurance among those who have dedicated themselves to research in superior methods of Public Administration. What this thesis aims to do is shed light upon what value-conflicts may occur within public administration organisations when they begin to idealize the rationalization of economic issues. The goal of this thesis will be fulfilled through the creation of two ideal types of public administration that exist in opposition to each other. These two ideal types will show two different views on how decision-making and organisation will be managed in their respective sectors. By doing this, there will be clarification as to what conflicting values arise with the implementation of ideas taken from New Public Management, as well as defining the fundamental difference between which ethical decision model is used..

The purpose of this master thesis is to examine some information aspects of decision-making in Swedish municipal committees. Which are the information needs and how do they emerge? How is the needed information sought and received and which are the sources? How do the members of the committees use information when making decisions? To answer these questions qualitative interviews were conducted with four politicians (two chairpersons representing the political majority and two vice-chairpersons representing the opposition) and three officials in a municipality with a population of about 50 000. The politicians were interviewed in capacity of decision-makers, whereas the officials from the local administration are of interest through their decision-supportive role, which includes providing of reports and other information. The examination indicates that even if the conditions to some extent differ between the committees, the administration is highly influential: Notions and proposals about action may come from inhabitants, organizations, politicians etc., but are handled by the administration, which often is the problem formulating actor, through which the informational needs nearly always are canalized.

Syftet med mitt arbete är att få en djupare kunskap om rollen som sjukhuslärare, vad den innebär, hur den och hur undervisningen som sjukhusläraren bedriver har förändrats i ett historiskt perspektiv. Jag har försökt besvara mina frågeställningar, vilka är: Hur har yrkesprofessionen förändrats under tiden 1958-2005? Hur fungerar undervisningen och hur har den förändrats under samma tid? Jag har gjort en empirisk undersökning genom att intervjua två nu verksamma sjukhuslärare och två pensionerade sjukhuslärare. Det framkommer hur sjukhusskolan startade, vad en vanlig arbetsdag kan innebära för sjukhusläraren och hur den förkortade vårdtiden har påverkat professionen..
