Studien handlar om migrerande mäns upplevelser av att vara pappa i Sverige och syftar till att undersöka hur den svenska kontexten bestående av strukturer, ideal och normer påverkar föräldraskapet hos dessa. Som ingång till detta ämne har föräldraskapet ställts i relation till de resonemang som förts mellan föräldrarna kring fördelning av föräldradagar. Empirin har samlats in genom sex kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer med män som är födda utanför norden och som har barn under åtta år. I studien framkom det att vissa av respondenterna kunde känna sig bevakade i sitt föräldraskap då de som utlandsfödda pappor kunde förväntas agera annorlunda av majoritetssamhället. Det visade sig även att pappans roll i föräldraskapet till viss del kunde ha förändrats efter migrationen till Sverige.

Abstract.In Sweden today, a collaboration was formed between the Swedish Sport Confederation andthe Swedish upper secondary school education. While this process was taking place, theSwedish Sport Confederation also tried to collaborate with the Swedish Academy. However,at the time the Academy did not have any involvement with the former.The purpose of the study was to research when and how the Swedish Sport Confederationcreated a collaboration with the Swedish Education Systems both on a National and Locallevel. I have also done a research on both the Knowledge Society and Elite sport talents tofind out if Elite sport will be affected in any way because of the existence of Knowledge Society,and also the reactions of the sports talents if any. My final pursuit was also to find out ifthe Knowledge Society can bring about a quick change to this silent conflict between theSwedish Sport Confederation and the Swedish Academy.For my study, I have used two different theories.

The aim of this study is to identify the dominating discourse in Swedish newspapers concerning perpetrators who committed sexual offence against children. The study is based on the idea that the media representation play a significant role to the public opinion and awareness of the perpetrators. The study is based upon a selection of 103 articles published between January 2003 and November 2013, taken from four of the biggest daily newspapers in Sweden; Aftonbladet, Dagens Nyheter, Expressen and Svenska Dagbladet. The methodological and theoretical approach in the study has been the one of discourse analysis through which one dominating discourse along with two subsidiary discourses could be identified. The discourse considered to be dominating is the one who presents the perpetrators through the discrepancy between the actions committed and the description of the perpetrator.

Bees are of importance for the global food security. In Europe 84% and in the World 35% of all the agricultural crops are dependent of animal pollination (Winfree et al., 2011:1). In agricultural production there is a huge lack of pollinators (Azien & Harden, 2009). A problem that is widely spread. In Sweden the problem becomes clear when looking at the statistics of the number of bee colonies during the last 20 years, where it has been a decline with 63 % (Statistiska Centralbyrån & Jordbruksverket, 2011).

Uppsalaromantikern Vilhelm Fredrik Palmblads (1788-1852) roman Familjen Falkenswärd (1844-45) var delvis en omarbetning av en romanföljetong (den s.k. Kalenderromanen) som Palmblad publicerade på 1810-talet i Poetisk kalender. I jämförelse med Kalenderromanen kan man i Familjen Falkenswärd se en utveckling mot ökad verklighetskontakt.Denna uppsats behandlar temat ideal och verklighet i Familjen Falkenswärd. Med ?verklig-het? åsyftas ingen yttre verklighet utanför romanen, eventuell realism lämnas alltså utanför undersökningen.

In classic academic social studies of East Europe, terms as Communism and Post-Communism are commonly used to describe the main characteristics of this geographically imagined area. This paper makes a not so frequently seen attempt to apply Post Colonial Theory for the same field. With start point in Post Colonial theoretical writers, the author wants to find a East European Post Colonial version for the internal Europe which will supply tools for a discourse analysis of the European mind map divided into West and East. The material consists of interviews with three Swedish and three Czech officials, all working with European politics in their country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The analysis is carried out with inspiration of Ernesto Laclaus and Chantal Mouffes Discourse theory.

Denna intervjuanalys syftar till att undersöka om och hur lärare ser på om elevers självförtroende och identitet hör samman med utseendemässiga faktorer.

The topic of this essay is core value issues, how they are mediated in school and how they are practiced. I am investigating a problem concerning the existential worth of the core values-content for children, or in other words, the difficulty of reconciling the theory of the core values and their practice. This problem is portrayed by two stories. The aim of this work is to investigate how to combine the core values theory with its practice, in other words, make it meaningful. In my essay, I turn to recent research in the field to provide a background to my issue, and hereby further point to my problem.

Kommunikatören är en yrkesroll som påstås befinna sig under en förändring. Yrket ska gå ifrån den producerande rollen till vara en alltmer strategisk roll på ledningsnivå. Den moderna kommunikatören ska, enligt litteratur kring ämnet, arbeta med strategisk kommunikation utifrån ett reflexivt förhållningssätt. Detta är en studie som behandlar och undersöker kommunikatörsyrket i en organisation. Syftet är att analysera hur en modern kommunikatör arbetar med strategisk kommunikation ur ett reflexiv perspektiv, för att se hur väl det stämmer överens med litteraturen och undersökningars moderna bild av yrket. Det är relevant att undersöka den moderna kommunikatören både på grund av att yrket påstås vara under en förändring där det tar allt mer plats i organisationer, och eftersom samhällsförändringar även ställer nya krav på informations- och kommunikationsansvariga.

The aim of this Masters thesis is to examine how disabled people who receive the shut-in-service in one community define service quality. The purpose is also to examine the shut-in-service and to look at the users' context. Answers are sought to the following questions: - How do users experience the service quality of the shut-in-service? - What kind of service does the shut-in-service offer to the user? - How can the user be described and which are his/her requests? The analysis is based on theory about service quality by Christian Grönroos. The theory makes a distinction between two kinds of service quality, technical vs functional quality, as experienced by the user through the profile of the organization.
