rspective [123][pdf.gif] The aim of this thesis is to study the Swedish Public Lending Right PLR from the Authors perspective. I investigate what the Swedish Authors of today think about the system for distributing the money in the Authors trust Författarfonden, and in what ways they want to change it. I also try to distinguish the Authors thoughts about how the scolarships from the Authors trust are distributed. What kind of Authors do they think are favoured when the money is distributed and what kind of Authors are treated unfairly. Finally I investigate how the money is shared out in reality by using some of the literature sociologist Johan Svedjedals theories of the distribution, and compare these facts with the Authors thoughts about how the money is distributed.

The essay concerns the role of fiction in school. The research questions is; what is ?readable?, what does the Authors think of teacher's task to develop students' literacy skills through fiction and how do the Authors think of the teachers' task of using fiction in school. The questions give a basis that describes the role of fiction in school today based on the Authors' perspective. We have chosen to use the open surveys as a method.

The purpose of this study is to examine how immigrant Authorsare mediated in texts. The study is based on three magazines which are directed towards the library sector. These texts have been published from the year 2000 to the year 2012. The study focuses on two of these magazines, namely Bibliotek i Samhälle and Biblioteksbladet. The study focuses on Authors who write in the swedish language, but who still seem to be perceived as immigrant Authors.

The purpose of this study was to bibliometrically investigate and describe the research area called ?extrasolar planets?. The research questions were: Which Authors were mostly cited within the area when the first Authors (and their co-Authors) were considered? Which Authors were found in most co-occurrences? Did particular author collaborations emerge? To which institutions were most Authors affiliated and did the size of the institution have an influence on whether an author was cited? What was the geographic distribution of Authors and institutions and were there any patterns of collaboration?Did the image of dominating institutions and countries depend on the viewpoint?How applicable was Lotka?s law on the collected data? The data was collected from citation lists in documents from the database Arxiv.org. The documents were extracted by using the search term ?extrasolar planets?.

The purpose of this essay is to study the crimes and punishments in the Roman army, how ancient Authors describe this phenomenon and the differences between the Authors descriptions. The results of the essay are that the Authors mostly describe crimes such as mutiny and desertion. Ruffus is the only one who mentions and describes other types of crimes than mutiny and desertion, such as theft, rape and disobedience. The reason why there is a difference between Ruffus and the other Authors are that Ruffus wrote a collection of laws in the Roman army but the other Authors wrote biographies and histories and therefore they only mentioned the most dramatic thing that happened, such as a mutiny in the army for example..

The work has been carried out in cooperation with the company Zenit Design in Malmö. The project's goal was to restore, improve and produce an ozone generator. During the project, the Authors sought relevant literature in databases, been in contact with US suppliers of fuel cell membranes, Asian suppliers for the processing of Teflon and Titanium parts in mechanical engineering and Swedish suppliers of various standard components. The Authors had access to a temporary lab at Zenit and electron microscope at Halmstad University where material tests were performed. The Authors have also had access to measurement equipment to measure amounts of ozone.During the work, the Authors have mapped how an existing ozone generator works and then have their own development.

The aim of this thesis is to use the bibliometric method author cocitation analysis (ACA) and investigate the cognitive structure in a research field, which is called the intellectual base. The research field in this investigation is social psychology. The main question is: what is the nature of the cognitive structure, which contains of the intellectual base. This question is divided in two sub questions: ? Which are the most prominent Authors in the research field? ? Which sub areas, based on groups of the most cocited Authors in the research field, can be identified?An investigation with ACA is used to describe the general experience of consensus of later Authors in a research field.

This essay examines how female Authors are described in the literary canon of two differenteditions of the Swedish education material on the history of literature: Svenska Timmar ?litteraturen. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the depiction of femaleAuthors has changed from the first edition (1991) to the last edition (2012), and how thesechanges correspond with the curriculums Lgy70 and Lgy11.The study is quantitative as well as qualitative. The quantitative part of the study showsthat the percentage of female Authors has increased in the 2012 edition. A greater number offemale Authors are also portrayed with pictures and headings.

The purpose of this essay is to analyse and evaluate human relations within organisations in purpose to achieve higher productivity. Both research objects gained interest in this essay due to how their own result should be effected and their own values but the writers also detected a little curiosity on how the competition handled these questions. The essay have progressed in the following steps: first the Authors have tried to find a problem definition and a scientific ground to work from. After that an extensive literature study were done to be followed by an mapping of apparition on the human relations on Scania motorverkstads logistics department and Volvo Logistics by interviews of the people in charge in these organisations. To see whether there was a unanimous line of thoughts between the management and the employees the Authors made questionnaires to the different department.

In this paper the Authors are trying to understand what separates men from women when they save and invest their money. But also what factors that influence them in their decisions. To investigate how men and women actually act when investing their money the Authors construct a survey. The Authors also turn to the Swedish banks for information on how they think there customers are behaving. The Authors find that men are more risk- taking than women and therefore invest more in products with higher risk, for example shares.

The purpose of this paper is to examine how the relationship between the socially constructed genders is manifested in American library science. To visualize gender, bibliometric analyses of peer reviewed articles published in three core journals of library science between 1980 and 2000 inclusive, are performed. The three journals are: College and Research Libraries, Journal of Academic Librarianship and Library Quarterly. Questions: 1. Does gender affect the publishing process regarding the distribution of female and male Authors? 2.

Background: How do leaders act during organisational changes which involve downsizing? The leader often ends up in focus during these processes. These issues are by no means recently developed. Already the medieval author Machiavelli wrote about leaders? problems with leading changes.

The objective of the study is to map the cognitive structure of Library and Information Science, using a quantitative, bibliometric method. This empirical study shows how co-citation analysis combined with word-frequency analysis can be used to describe the subject content of the field. The research questions to be answered are: -Which clusters of Authors can be identified? -How can these clusters be described in respect of their subject content, if the descriptors associated with the Authors in the clusters are counted? The results show that the cognitive structure of Library and Information Science can be described by 13 clusters of Authors, where each cluster is representing a specific aspect of the subject- domain. For the description of the subject content of the clusters, descriptors DE of the LISA database have been used..
