The purpose of this master thesis is to use marketing theory on the library?s activities. The marketing theory used is the 4Ps; product, price, promotion and place, as it's presented by Philip Kotler. Because the library can be seen as a service oriented organization Christian Gronroos theory of marketing in the service industry also has been used. A case study of the public library in Broby was made to illustrate how the public libraries? activities can appear in the light of marketing theory.

This thesis concerns the policy process of a proposed bill. The specific bill constitute a new penal law which is supposed to replace the old penal law from 1974.The questions asked considers what in the foregoing policy process that has proceeded, affected and also characterizes the proposed bill. In order to be able to produce a deep and reliable analysis to this question I use two different theories.The first theory being used consists of John W. Kingdons theory of ?multiple streams? which I use to answer the specific question ?what can be recognized to have proceeded and characterize the policy process that the penal law bill involve??.The second theory consists of Peter Santesson-Wilsons development of symbolic policy theories which is given a concrete form in the ?taxonomy of symbolic policy? which he presents.

Tractors of today come equipped with a CAN-system. A CAN-system sends information from sensors to electronic control units who process the signals. The sensors measure several interesting parameters such as force, pressure and speed for various components of the tractor. This thesis discuss a force sensor which is placed in the pivot of the tractors three point linkage, the sensor measure the horizontal reaction force from the load that the tractor is exposed to. Signals from this sensor can be used to measure the force from any implement that the tractor is exposed to during an operation.

This paper describes what some 9th grade students think of their sex education in school, especially when it comes to gender, sexual identity, norms and deviation. I have been using group interviews in two different schools, two groups per school. The result of the students' answers have been analysed on the basis of queer theory focusing on gender and sexual identity. The result of the study shows that the students consider their sexual education to be lacking, especially when it comes to gender, sexual identity, norms and deviation. Another conclusion of the analysis is that a sex education grounded in queer theory would be more inclusive..

Denna uppsats behandlar ändelsevariationen -e/-a hos svaga maskulina substantiv från yngre fornsvenska till yngre nysvenska. Syftet är att frilägga de språkliga faktorer som haft en reglerande effekt på de svaga maskulina substantivens variation och förändringsprocess, och i samband med detta beskriva under vilka inom- och utomspråkliga förhållanden en fornsvensk morfologi blir till en nutida. Materialet består av 20 texter skrivna under perioden 1442?1756. Texterna är valda enligt ett antal spridningskriterier i syfte att inkludera utomspråklig heterogenitet i undersökningen.

The present study has two purposes. One aim is to investigate to what extent 20 pupils in grade 3 use two different forms of presentation in their narrative texts and how these choices of forms of presentation create certain patterns in the pupils? texts. Another aim is to study to what extent the pupils use various features of spoken language in their narrative texts and whether these features correlate with the forms of presentation. The material in the study consists of 20 narrative texts from the national test in Swedish in 2011.

This thesis aims to investigate possible positions of identification for people with dis/abilities. With a theoretical basis in crip-theory it discusses the notions of power and deviance and its? importance for the formation and reproduction of ideas around the concepts of dis/ability, ableism, deviancy and normality..

Denna kvalitativa empiriska studie utfördes i grundskolans första år och syftade till att undersöka och jämföra elevers och lärares uppfattningar om elevers inflytande och olika sätt att lära i undervisningen av bokstäver. För att kunna undersöka detta har intervjuer med både elever och lärare använts som datainsamlingsmetod. Studiens resultat visade att elevers och lärares uppfattningar skiljde sig åt när det handlade om elevers olika sätt att lära ? lärstilar. Lärarna tyckte att de varierade sig när det handlade om lärstilar men eleverna tyckte inte att denna variation var tillräcklig.

 AbstractSystem methodology is in the very heart of system development, it is a crucial part of how you define your work, how you choose to approach the actual problem at hand and how to solve it. Researchers in the system development field has shown that not all methods in theory are in compliance with how it is practiced by the companies who use them. In our thesis we have studied a larger international IT- company and one of their local offices in Sweden, who some years back changed their system development method from a more traditional to an agile one. Our aim of this study has been to establish whether both of these methods has differed between theory and in actual use, and if so, why this has occurred and what the underlying rationality might have been to promote this change. Our questions that we sought to answer were; 1.

We set out to compare two different categories of workers: the, so called, white- and blue collar workers. The studies aim was to measure if there were any observable differences between the two in means of optimism and sense of coherence. There are two tools created for measuring optimism and sense of coherence, the Life Orientation Test ? Revised (LOT-R) measures an individual?s level of optimism and Aaron Antonovsky devised a test for measuring an individual?s level of sense of coherence (SOC). Optimism is best explained like a way to measure anticipation, how an individual expect future events to fall out.

Denna studie har som syfte att betrakta hur bisatsanvändning hos vuxna avancerade inlärare av svenska som andraspråk ser ut jämfört med inlärare med svenska som modersmål; detta med avseende på både frekvens och variation.För att besvara mina två frågeställningar angående först frekvens och sedan variation har jag valt att granska uppsatser skrivna av L2- och L1-komvuxstuderande som har gått de högskolebehörighetsgivande gymnasiekurserna Svenska som andraspråk B respektive Svenska B på Komvux. Uppsatserna är skrivna som en del i det nationella prov som inlärarna har deltagit i vid slutet av kursen.För att bevara reliabiliteten för denna undersökning har jag utgått ifrån en definition och indelning av bisatser som presenteras i Svenska akademiens grammatik, kallad SAG, och Svenska akademiens språklära, kallad SAS. Genom att söka de bisatser som inlärarna använder och sammanställa dem i jämförelsetabeller har jag lyckats med att kontrollera och jämföra de olika bisatsgrupper och bisatsinledare som L2- respektive L1-inlärare använder.Undersökningen visar att det finns skillnader i bisatsanvändningen mellan dessa två inlärargrupper men att skillnaderna inte är avsevärt stora. Jämfört med L1-texterna har bisatser i L2-texterna högre frekvens vilket kan bero på att L2-uppsatserna i genomsnitt är längre, 800 ord/text gentemot 700 ord/text. Däremot har bisatserna i L2-texterna mindre variation.

Denna studie baseras på en kvalitativ undersökning bland elever i årskurs 3 i gymnasiet. Den syftar till att utifrån den enskilda individen undersöka förklaring till fenomenet ohälsa. På detta sätt användes begreppet meningsfullhet eftersom det anses ha en stor betydelse för hälsa/ohälsa idag. Individer utför ständigt olika val i vardagen och är därför viktigt i denna studie att framhäva hur meningsfulla dessa val är för individen. Studien grundar sig på elva intervjuer som analyserats och delats in i olika teman.

This study is based on six narrative interviews which I conducted with students at the University of Namibia in Windhoek, Namibia. My aim is to find out how these students are creating their identity in the environment of the university, how they look at their family structure and how Namibia´s independence in 1990 has created new opportunities for young people in contemporary Namibia. I have been using postcolonial theory and identity theories to analyse the interviews. Five of the six respondents are from the northern parts of Namibia, Ovamboland, and this area is seen as a rural area. The students have made an emotional journey from the rural areas in the north to the urban area of Windhoek and they feel that they have many new opportunities and they are willing to change Namibia into a more developed country..

This study examines affective polarization among first-time voters in Sweden and the factors that explain variation in its levels. Affective polarization refers to the extent to which individuals hold negative feelings toward political opponents. Drawing on social identity theory and theories of ideological polarization, the study tests two hypotheses regarding why first-time voters are expected to display lower levels of affective polarization compared to older voters. Affective polarization is operationalized as the dispersion of individuals' evaluations of political parties and analyzed using visual graphs alongside bivariate and multivariate regression models to identify underlying mechanisms. The results show that first-time voters, on average, exhibit slightly lower levels of affective polarization than older voters.

This study has been conducted in order to determine the existence of predictability for the Stockholm stock exchange. With this purpose the random walk theory has been raised against the theory of mean reversion in order to determine which theory is the most substantial. Data has been collected from Nasdaq OMX Nordic and furtherly been processed using the statistical software EViews. Swedish listed companies? daily share values between 2000-2014 have been analyzed using two tests; an Augmented Dickey Fuller test and a Variance Ratio test.
