2012 was the year when the podcast had a breakthrough in Sweden. As media corporatehouses developed, they adopted new forms to mediate journalistic material, whereas the podcasts was one of them. The podcast has had a rather informal reputation in Sweden in contrary to The United States and Great Britain, where it holds a higher sense of prestige and professionalism. It is therefore relevant to investigate what happens when media corporatehouses i Sweden embraces the podcast through themes such as tabloidization, commercialism, convergence and divergence. We chose to investigate the content of the podcast in the tabloid press Aftonbladet, and in the serious press, Dagens Nyheter.

The division of Electricity at Uppsala University runs a project called Lysekil project, they have designed a buoy that uses the waves to create electric power from a generator attached to the bottom of the sea.Uppsala University is closely connected with the company Seabased and the university makes use of their facilities in Lysekil. When they designed the buoy issues occurred, the geometric design was flawed, brackets with a short shelf life and it is generally uneconomic.A study visit was done in Lysekil on Seabased facility. With this visit the project started, which is to improve the design of the buoy and the attachment of wires leading to the generator. In this project we have chosen to use a beam system with three beams that are attached to the buoy. Then a wire attached to a plate that sits between the beams will be leading to the generator. Two proposals for construction are created, what distinguishes them are the brackets between the beams and the buoy.From these constructions, the design that is considered most optimal for our project is chosen.All parts of the buoy have been modeled and the drawings are designed in ProEngineer software.The two constructions are compared with each other, but the whole focus is on the second and final structure. The report begins with an introduction describing Lysekil project, and a task description of our project.The project aims to produce an optimal buoy that will be easy to design, materials restrictive with good durability and an economical solution.Wave power true function has been studied, mechanical and finite element analysis of beams, buoy and plate design.This has been presented in this report, where in the various chapters can read more about the processes. Although the relevant facts and information on this project and buoy development is included.

The body that is? You have to take care of the body is an ethnological study of how children look at body and health from their own perspective. During five weeks I did a field work in a school in Uppsala, Sweden. Ten fifth grade students and two teachers were interviewed. They were also participants in observations and did paintings.

Warmer climate is a driving factor to species expansion northwards. Expansion to new areas can result in escape from natural enemies, resulting in reduced levels of mortality and thereby potentially increasing the rate of expansion. The most important parasitoid species attacking butterfly larvae belong to the families Tachinidae, Ichneumonidae and Braconidae. The aim of this thesis was to investigate parasitism and difference between populations in established area and newly colonized area for the European map butterfly, Araschnia levana, in order to examine if the butterfly has escaped from some natural enemies. In 1982 the first European map butterfly was observed in Sweden and has now established up to middle Småland.

In October 2009, a new decision was made concerning the administration of predators which resulted in a new wolf policy in Sweden. This meant that the wolf population now should be limited to 210 individuals by harvest. The new policy also recognized that the public acceptance of this species must increase and the genetic status improved. In the 17th of December a decision was taken by the Swedish parliament that it should become legal to hunt wolves in Sweden. The wolf hunt resulted in debate on a large scale amongst people, some thought of it as a good decision while others thought it was wrong.

Bakgrund: Många har en positiv inställning till ekologiska livsmedel men det avspeglas inte i inköpsfrekvensen av ekologiska livsmedel, utan andra inköpskriterium är viktigare för konsumenterna. Då utbudet på den ekologiska livsmedelsmarknaden ökar för varje år och för att marknaden ska kunna fortsätta växa med framgång är det viktigt för marknadens aktörer att veta vilka konsumenter som köper vad och varför när det kommer till ekologiska livsmedel.Syfte: Syftet är att undersöka i vilken utsträckning studenter köper ekologiska livsmedel. Uppsatsen ämnar även undersöka studenters inställning till och inköpsmotiv för ekologiska livsmedel.Metod: En enkätundersökning genomfördes bland studenter på Uppsala universitet. Totalt deltog 126 studenter i undersökningen.Resultat: Viktigaste inköpskriterierna för livsmedel är att det ser fräscht ut, är producerat i Sverige, har god smak och har lågt pris. Ekologiskt producerat är inte det viktigaste inköpskriteriet för något livsmedel.

In 2010 the Church of Sweden initiated a project to elaborate a new handbook for church services and church documents. This handbook draft was ready to be tested in 2012. The first Sunday of Advent 2012 the church launched an extensive trial for the draft for the new handbook; this handbook draft will now be tested in a selected variety of Swedish parishes until Judgment Sunday 2013. Upon which the Church of Sweden will evaluate and respond to the comments and reactions from the Swedish congregations in terms of the handbooks proposal. My main goal with this paper is that I?m hoping to be able to examine where the need for a new handbook for church services originates.

Introduction: Every year about 450 women in Sweden are diagnosed with cervical cancer, almost 200 die and thousands undergo surgery because of cell changes in the cervix. A HPV infection can lead to cervical cancer and therefor costs for the society. The implementation of a vaccination program against HPV is a way to avoid these costs. Aim: The study aimed to calculate the economic impact of the HPV- vaccination program for children in Sweden through a cost-benefit analysis. Method: In this analysis, status quo was compared with non-administration of the HPV-vaccine for the selected cohort of ten-years-old girls in Sweden.

This study aims at examine if an Europeanization is affecting the bilateral diplomatic relation between Sweden and Italy as managed by the national embassies. The questions asked to pursue the aim are; how the bilateral diplomatic work is managed between the countries, are there any signs of Europeanization within this relation or is it still contingent on intergovernmental principles? In this study an analytical model is created and used to analyze how the bilateral diplomacy between Italy and Sweden is managed through the embassies. The discussion on top ?down Europeanization by Tanja Börzel is central to the development of the analytical model.

Today many buildings and it´s nearby surroundings are designed to achieve some kind of environmental goal.The issue concerning energy consumption is currently at focus and it is relevant that we start increase the share of renewable energy. Solar energy is an infinite resource and should therefore be considered when selecting an energy supplier. Uppsala University hospital is facing major restructuring when parts of the existing buildings will be refurbished and a large new building will be constructed. White Architects have developed a study concerning the new building and for some of the existing buildings on the hospital campus. Uppsala County requires tough energy measures and wants the new building to be classified as an eco-building in Whites following work. The classifications will involve high energy source requirements. This work has been conducted to see if solar power can be envisaged as a supplementary energy source for the University hospital and also to investigate the aesthetic impact of solar cells on the new building.

Detta är ett arbete som gjorts i samband med studier på Uppsala universitet, där en textanalys har gjorts med fokus på den juridikiska- och ekonomi styrning av skolan då de har till sin funktion att stödja skolverksamhetens möjligheter att förverkliga mål inom de befintliga ramarna. Skollagen är en lag som skolan ska arbeta utefter och detta trots sin generella natur. Även ekonomiska faktorer påverkar hur skolan som organisation och verksamhet ska se ut. Studien skapar en övergripande bild av finansieringen inom skolverksamheten på riks- samt kommunalnivå, med fokus på Uppsala kommun, samt hur resurserna fördelas från statlig till kommunnivå och sist lokal verksamhetsnivå. Det är den politiska ledningen i exempelvis kommuner (ex nämnder, kommunfullmäktige) som ska styra skolverksamheten genom att planera, följa upp och kontrollera.

This essay concerns the hill forts in Halland. The hill forts in Halland haven?t been archaeologically examined and they haven?t been studied as well as hill forts in other parts of Sweden. The focus of this essay is to determine the use of the hill forts in Halland.  Comparative studies will be made between Halland?s hill forts and the hill forts of Bohuslän and the hill forts of the Eastern part of Sweden.The results of the research have yielded that the hill forts in Halland strongly reminiscent of the hill forts in Bohuslän when it comes to the positioning in the landscape, as well as the general appearance of the hill forts.

The aim of this study was to examine the differences in experience of the dental hygienist education between newly examined dental hygienists born abroad and born in Sweden.

Bakgrund: Avståndet mellan länder har försvunnit och världen har blivit mer homogen i och med globaliseringen. Många studier och praktiska exempel visar på att det fortfarande finns betydande skillnader i sättet att göra affärer, liksom i sättet att leda och organisera verksamhet i olika länder. Företag konfronteras därmed med många viktiga frågor i samband med ett internationaliseringsbeslut. Marknadsinformation spelar en central roll för företags utlandsetablering då kunskap om kunder, konkurrenter, intressenter samt om den institutionella och kulturella miljön ger företag starka konkurrensfördelar på marknaden. Allt fler företag inser vikten av att bevaka och analysera förändringar i omvärlden för att kunna ta väl underbyggda beslut under internationalisering.
