In Peter Weiss debut Fra?n o? till o? (1947) the ?I? travels from island to island as a castaway. The island here can signify, or work as a synecdoche for exile and the feeling of isolation that exile often induces. But the movement from island to island also implies a restless state: Peter Weiss shifting from painting to writing to filmmaking and theatre, from German to Swedish and then back to German. The years during exile and the years that followed the exile until his breakthrough in Germany with Schatten des ko?rpers des Ku?tchens (1960), Abschied von den Eltern (1961) and Fluchtpunkt (1962), were the formative years of Peter Weiss authorship.

The word crisis is often used in everyday language, but according to political theory it actually refers to a crisis situation within a country where national interests suddenly are at stake demanding that important and complex decisions must be made within certain time constraints. These decisions can in turn lead up to most fatal consequences. USA, being one of the world's superpowers is most certainly involved in crisis situations directly or indirectly, frequently or more seldom. Amounts of people get suddenly involved and even more people can be drawn in by the decisions that are made thereby. Research has shown that the character of a leader affects decision-making.

I have for my one year master's thesis worked on arranging and cataloging the archives from the missions stations of Musana, Congo-Brazzaville and Sundi-Lutete, Congo-Kinshasa, belonging to the Swedish Missions Church (Svenska Missionskyrkan). The archives contained records written in Swedish, French and Kikongo, from primarily the years 1910 until 1961. Records have though been found that adhere from both prior to and after these years. These archives are deposited at the Swedish National Archive and it was therefore important to take the opinions and regulations of both parties into consideration, as well as relying onto archival theory.The archives were initially scattered and had in some parts been organized by an archivist without formal schooling. The major difficulties in this work has therefore been to establish the provenance ? to which creator the documents belonged to, and also to decide to which degree the principle of the original order should play a part.

This candidate thesis concerns the ?all but forgotten? material from the bronze age site named ?Raä 977, Hansbo 1:3, Vojmsjön, Vilhelmina?. During 1975-76, an archaeological dig was carried out by Västerbottens museum led by Ulla Walukiewich in an attempt to preserve the information the site held, before it was destroyed by the erosion brought on by the recently regulated sea ?Vojm? (Vojmsjön). The archaeological dig yielded a stunning amount of finds, samples and information previously unknown.

The purpose of this Masters thesis is to examine how young womens sexuality is described in Swedish youth novels. The analysis is based upon eight books of which four were published during the period from 1970 to 1975 and four books were published during 2000 to 2005. The theoretical framework is based on a gender theoretical perspective where Yvonne Hirdmans theories about a gender system and Ylva Elwin-Nowaks and Heléne Thomssons ideas about gender construction are crucial. Also Anthony Giddens theories about sexuality in the late modern society are used, where the plastic sexuality and the pure relationship are central ideas. The method is based upon textual analysis, and a model of analysis is constructed with its basis in the theoretical attempt.

I korthet har uppsatsens syfte varit att ge en bild av vilken social bakgrund de flickor hade som gick på Snöå Lanthushållsskola i Dala-Järna, att ta reda på varför de valde att gå där och att undersöka vad som hände med eleverna senare i livet. Metoden som använts hör till den muntliga historieforskningens sätt att gå till väga: Under ett besök på skolans 100-års jubileum i september 2009 delades en enkät ut till ett hundrafemtiotal före detta elever, av vilka 15 stycken valdes ut. Dessa 15 delades in i tre grupper: den äldre generationens elever från 1936-1960, mellangenerationens elever från 1961-1970, och slutligen den yngre generationens elever från 1971-1989, varefter de intervjuades. Intervjuerna låg sedan till grund för uppsatsens resultat. Resultatet visar att elevernas sociala bakgrund har varierat, liksom ambitionerna bakom att söka till lanthushållsskolan och i vilken grad skolan fick betydelse för framtiden. Trenden verkar dock vara att det bland de tidigaste snöåkullorna var vanligt att man ville bli en god husmor, medan 1950-, 1960- och det tidiga 1970-talets elever behövde kursen i lanthushållning för att kunna vidareutbilda sig.

Syftet med denna studie har varit att undersöka vilka källor de två tidningarna Dagens Nyheter och New York Times använt sig av i bevakningen av Kambodja. Två dramatiska händelser är i fokus.Den första händelsen inträffade den 17 april då gerillarörelsen, Röda Khmererna, tågade in i Kambodjas huvudstad Phnom Penh och tog över makten. Kontakten med omvärlden bröts inom loppet av några timmar. Förvirringen kring vad som verkligen skett blev påtaglig i medierna. Ingen visste säkert vad som hänt.

Åfors glasswork was a company which started in 1876 and closed in 2012 due to the bad economical situation in the company. After its closure, the glasswork left behind contaminated soil with different concentrations of heavy metals such as, arsenic from arsenic trioxide, a chemical used to remove bubbles during the melting of glass, and lead oxide, a chemical used in the production of crystal glass. Crystal glass?s production occurred under 1921-1971, but emissions of lead into the air from Åfors glasswork continued until 2011, because of the artist Bertil Valliens? artglas was made in Åfors glasswork from 1970?s and onwards.The aim of this study was to estimate how much lead (Pb) and arsenic (As) that were released by Åfors Glasswork into the atmosphere during the operational period of the glasswork in comparison with how much of lead and arsenic were purchased for the company. Added to the assistance of the data from National Archives the variations in the activities of Åfors glasswork could be shown.

This study investigates the relation between cyberbullying and traditional bullying (in school). In previous research it has been argued that one should separate cyberbullying and traditional bullying both in definitional and measurements issues. However, in Swedish school, there are no marked differences between the two forms of bullying, teachers are responsible to prevent them both. The research is based on 3925 students in years 3-9 (1950 girls and 1975 boys) in 19 schools in the Gothenburg region and two from the Stockholm region. The students have taken a digital survey at school, regarding both traditional and cyber bullying.

Revisionsprofessionen images a?r sedan la?nge ett omdiskuterat fenomen. Genom denna studie o?nskades det att kartla?gga hur images pa?verkar uppfattningar om professionen och dennes attraktivitet. Syftet med studien var att underso?ka revisionsprofessionens images samt hur dessa images pa?verkar nya intra?dandes uppfattningar om professionen.

Bakgrund: Sedan 1975 när abortlagen i Sverige trädde i kraft, har kvinnor själva haft möjlighet att avgöra om deras graviditet ska avbrytas innan den 18:e graviditetsveckan. I dagens sjukvård tenderar personalen att se mer till det fysiska vilket gör att kvinnors tankar och känslor förbises. Behovet av kunskap om kvinnors känslomässiga upplevelser av abort är därför betydelsefullt att belysa. Syfte: Syftet var att belysa unga kvinnors känslomässiga upplevelser i samband med abort. Metod: Studien utformades som en allmän litteraturstudie där nio artiklar samlades in och analyserades.

Through discourse analysis of twelve Library and Information Science theses, covering the period between 1975 and 2007, this thesis examines representations of homosexuality and homosexual identities. By using queer theory as a point of reference aspects such as essence/construct, equality/difference, notions of gender and views on the historical and contemporary situation of homosexuals are brought to the fore in the analysis. It is shown how the material unequivocally posits the contemporary situation of homosexuals favourably in comparison to a past signified by prejudices and oppression. This can be seen as an implicit essentialism in the texts, though ambivalences open up the possibility that it in some cases may be only strategically used while explicitly adhering to constructionist views. In linking concepts of a homosexual difference to prejudices, frequently involving notions of inverted gender performances or sexual ?extremes?, the discourse of progression posits normalcy and assimilation as positive values.

Meticillinresistenta Stafylokockus aureus (MRSA) är resistenta stammar av den vanliga bakterien Stafylokockus aureus (S. aureus). MRSA upptäcktes första gången 1961 i England och har sedan dess brett ut sig över hela världen. På sjukhus sprids MRSA mellan patienter via sjukvårdspersonalens händer till följd av bristande hygienrutiner och i samhället sprids bakterierna där människor lever och umgås tätt. En av de viktigaste förebyggande åtgärderna är isoleringsvård, vilken ofta upplevs som negativ.

Det här är en studie om svenska utrikeskorrespondenter. Utrikeskorrespondenter ger kanske ofta den bästa rapporteringen men blir allt färre i takt med att medieföretagen sparar. Samtidigt borde behovet av utrikesnyheter öka i en globaliserad värld. Uppsatsens syfte är att få bättre kännedom kring hur de svenska reportrar som arbetar utomlands själva ser på sitt arbete och genom en skissartad undersökning se hur utrikesnyheterna förändrats under en novembervecka 1975, 1985, 1995 och 2005. Jag har gjort kvalitativa intervjuer med fyra svenska utrikeskorrespondenter och en kvantitativ skissundersökning av utrikesnyheterna i Aftonbladet, Expressen, Svenska Dagbladet och Dagens Nyheter.Resultatet av de kvalitativa intervjuerna visar att de utrikeskorrespondenter som deltog i studien tycker att det finns mycket att vinna med deras arbete; större självständighet i nyhetsvärdering, högre textmässig kvalitet och personligt berättande är några exempel.
