Vi har tittat på hur män och kvinnor representeras i Sportbladet genom att göra en bild- och rubrikanalys på förstasidor och utvalda uppslag av tidningen, det under en begränsad period på två veckor under februari 2006. Vi har tittat på hur ofta kvinnor och män förekommer på bilderna och vilka idrotter som är oftast förekommande. Men också hur bilderna är tagna, från vilken vinkel exempelvis och vad det får för betydelse för framställningen av manliga och kvinnliga idrottsutövare. Sport är ett område som är strikt uppdelat i män och kvinnor och det märks följaktligen i sportjournalistiken. Det finns en tydlig hierarki inom området där det är Mannen som är den dominerande.

In order to get full understanding of management culture and practice one must understand the underlying factors. This thesis examines the philosophical foundations for management in the People's Republic of China with its primary focus on the period 1949 -2012. China with its strong economic development in the recent decades is becoming an increasingly important actor in the world economy. Interaction between China and the rest of the word is considerable and currently Chinese firms increasingly expand outside China. This gives further importance especially for westerners to gain a deeper understanding of Chinese views and customs with regard to management.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between Earnings Management (EM) and certain characteristics of management forecasts, among a sample of Swedish listed companies. The forecast characteristics studied are: 1) Forecast venue: How explicitly is the forecast presented? 2) Forecast precision: How detailed is the estimated number? 3) Forecast measure: Which measure(s) are forecasted? We use a sample of 68 annual management forecasts, obtained from year-end reports between the years 2007-2011. EM during the forecasted year (2008-2012) is estimated using the cross-sectional modified-Jones model. The forecast characteristics are then related to the degree of EM during the forecasted period.

This paper describes the development of direct and indirect service at the former Gothen­burg city library. This was during this period of time not the public library of the town, but a scientific library mostly serving the college, although also open to the public. Furthermore the services offered in Gothenburg are compared with those of the two old Swedish university libraries in Uppsala and Lund. The investigated direct serviceforms are "making material available", "guidance", and "localities". The indirect service areas are "the catalogue" and "the personnel and their competence".The conclusion is that the differences weren't that big and that Gothenburg city library was a modern library providing about the same services as you could find in Uppsala and Lund.

In this essay we discuss the broad area of website usability from a tourism perspective. Our goal was to investigate the usability in smaller and bigger tourism websites. We have declared what website usability means and the importance of involving the users when designing a user interface. In a pilot study, we conducted three interviews with people who work with usability and then used the information we got to form questions to use in a focus group interview. In this focus group, we asked three people to assess two Swedish tourism websites, one bigger and one smaller, to find out if they were considered usable and if there was any difference in usability depending on the size of the site.

Med vårt examensarbete ville vi studera och utveckla pojkars respektive flickors förhållningssätt till varandra. Undersökningen genomfördes under en sju veckors period i en förskoleklass i Luleå. Barngruppen bestod av 14 barn, nio flickor och fem pojkar. Barnen fick genom olika könsrollsrelaterade övningar visa på hur de förhöll sig gentemot varandra. Våra undersökningsmetoder bestod av barn-intervjuer med öppna frågor och barnobservationer.

"A discourse analysis of the debate on prostitution 1993-2011" The aim of this essay is to investigate how prostitution is constructed in the debate. The analysis is based off debate articles from four of the biggest Swedish news papers. Articles from two periods of time has been chosen, 1993-1999 and 2008-2011. The specific periods were selected because they revolve around the Swedish ban on the purchase of sexual services in 1999, and when it was evaluated in 2008. With a constructivist aim based on gender research, the themes and subject positions of the debate are explored via discourse analysis.

Energy is an essential part of the society and for a sustainable future we need to use the energy resources in a sustainable way. The forest is Sweden?s most important resource for renewable energy and a higher production combined with shorter rotation periods (time from planting to clear cutting) can increase the access to energy. The tree genus poplar (Populus spp.) is interesting as energy resource as it has both high production and short rotation period. But browsing ungulates are a major threat to the establishment of poplar plants and therefore the poplar plantations need to be fenced in today. To use fences is expensive and time consuming; this makes it interesting to find more cost-effective solutions where there is no need to fence. The aim with this study was to look at the ungulates? occupation rate and browsing pressure in poplar plantations without fence.

In my paper I adress the question of what happens in the relationship between the beholder, the artwork and the artist when they meet in the era of Web 2.0. The new smartphone based medium that I write about is Instagram. The artist i write about is the Swedish illustrator Jesper Waldersten. My purpose with this paper was to explore how the the beholder, pictures and artist relate to one another i relation to Instagram and how the interface of the smartphone and the app affect the beholder in these relationships. I also seek out to understand the difference between how Instagrams interface affect the beholder in comparison to the interface of the artists web page and his book.

Studien syftar till att leda till en bättre förståelse för utsattas erfarenheter av mobbning och att öka kunskapen om vad som kan göras för att motverka mobbning samt hur de utsatta kan hjälpas och stöttas. I studien har fyra kvinnor och fyra män deltagit, som alla har upplevt mobbning under skolgången, men som inte längre är utsatta. Metoden som använts är en innehålls analys. Resultatet av intervjuerna tyder på att det upplevda stödet från skola och hem inte var tillräckligt. Att mobbningen pågick under en längre period utan ingripande från vuxna i omgivningen.

The incidence of many of the most common diseases in dairy cattle has been proven to be highest during the time closest to calving. It is possible that the current breeding strategy with 12 month calving intervals increases the risk for disease in dairy cattle, which is problematic concerning both animal welfare and for economic reasons. The economic incentives behind a calving interval of 12 to 13 months have mainly been based on milk- and feed- costs and no costs due to diseases or fertility disturbances have been included.The aim of this study was to see if a lengthening of the calving interval would result in lower disease frequency. The hypothesis is that cows with a planned calving interval of 15 months have a lower disease incidence than cows with a calving interval of 12 months due to less number of calvings. Therefore the difference in disease frequency should be larger when compared over a long period of time, such as over lifetime, since cows with a longer calving interval experience fewer calvings.The study was performed between August 17th, 1994, and January 24th, 2007.

Detta arbete handlar om fem lärares bedömning av andraspråktexter och lärarnasuppfattningar om språkbehärskning, nivå och betyg. Syftet är att undersöka lärarnas uppfattningar om hur man definierar och mäter språkbehärskning hos andraspråkselever. Teoribakgrunden består av hypotesen om en kritisk period och varianter av den, bedömningsteorier, teorier om språkbehärskning och Skolverkets kursplaner för svenska som andraspråk på grundläggande nivå, gymnasiet och SFI samt publikationer om bedömningproducerade av Skolverket . Undersökningen består av en enkät där lärarna bedömer och anger nivå, Informanterna har sedan intervjuats om vad de bedömer, vilka verktyg de använder och vilken typ av bedömning de anser att de använder. Resultatet visar att informanterna bedömer och definierar språkbehärskning på olika sätt samt att de uttrycker sig om bedömning och nivåmed bedömningsspråk som inte är lika.

This paper analyses the potential extent of labour mobility in the European Union after the eastern enlargement that took place in 2004, but focuses on movements from the 10 new member countries to the old EU -members. In this study, a number of economic models are used to investigate if there is a large potential for labour mobility in the enlarged EU and also if this potential has large effects on mobility in reality. The potential for labour mobility is, to a large extent, discussed in terms of theoretical migrating incitements for workers and different types of labour migration obstacles. Many factors indicate that such large potential for migration actually exists, mainly due to high difference in wages and unemployment and because of the common EU market. At the same time, the presence of natural and constructed obstacles is likely to restrict migration for a long period of time..

Detta arbete syftar till att undersöka vilka förändringar den svenska hälso- och sjukvårdens beredskapsförmågor har genomgått under en dryg 30års period mellan 1980-tal fram till idag samt att identifiera vilka utmaningar hälso- och sjukvården och även samhället ställs inför gällande säkerhets- och beredskapsfrågor. Samverkan upplevs som den största utmaningen och förmågan att se svensk beredskap ur dess helhet. Aktörers förmåga att identifiera sig själva och andra aktörer som delar i en enhet måste förbättras. Ekonomiska faktorer är också avgörande där strävan efter ekonomisk effektivitet begränsar och försvårar beredskap och säkerhetsförberedande arbete inom Sveriges hälso- och sjukvård..

This report is a study in voltagelevel in connection with regeneration of brake energy from the tramtype M31 in Gothenburg.In the act of braking, the tram M31 uses electrical braking where the electrical motors generates energy and if possible send it back to the overheadline, where other trams in the nearby can use this regenerated energy for its own driving force. In cases where no other energyconsumers are located in the same section, there is a resistance witch task is to convert this energy into heat. The regulation of this resistance appears to cause an increase in the voltagelevel into far too high levels.Investigations of the trams regulationequipment and its construction have been done. Further have measurements on the overheadline been performed in order to map the voltagevariations during a longer period of time.The result have been showing that the voltagelevel during regeneration often is as high as 880V-920V, more extreme values have not been observed in a large scale. The values are especially high compared to the nominal voltagelevel.
