"Race" is often used as a marker to exclude people from a society. What is interesting is not so much what terms that are used to describe people, but by what meaning they are associated with. For this thesis articles published in daily magazines have been the material used. An argument driven in the essay is that identity and oppression is not constituted from one subject position, but from several, such as class, sexuality and gender. The first question posed is how "Race" is constituted through discourses throughout the subject positions class, sexuality and gender.

It has become increasingly common for a city or region to use sporting and media events to promote themselves. But what is behind these events? What kind of organisation is necessary to plan and run them? In the summer of 2009 the internationally known Volvo Ocean Race will arrive in Stockholm. The Race is eight months long and will be hosted in Stockholm for almost the whole of June. The City of Stockholm is behind the event and Stockholm?s marinas will be responsible for making sure that everything runs smoothly and on schedule.

The Veiled Party: A Discourse Analysis of Sweden Democratic Texts aims to further the understanding of the underlying ideology of the Sweden Democratic party, by revealing whether or not there is any ideological content that include Race, racialization, and racism in the party?s political texts. The study offers a background description of the discursive change in the social and political climate of debate in Sweden, which opened a policy window for xenophobic agenda setting. In addition, the study delivers a presentation of the public debate regarding the Sweden Democrats, as well as statements by party representatives.Through a social constructionist and discourse analytic framework, the study aims at understanding how the application of racial ideas are done and mapped. The core of the theoretical framework is a critical Race and whiteness theoretical approach.

Participation as Pedagogy ? Imagined Race and the Exhibit of Swedish Peoples-Types.This essay will analyse and give a deeper picture of the ?The Exhibit of Swedish People-Types? by focusing on the pedagogical ideals that formed the exhibit as an participatory media. The exhibit was led by the famous Race-biologist Herman Lundborg and toured Sweden in 1919 displaying the racial constitution of the Swedish population using material gathered by the public itself. The exhibit has been described as an important tool in popularising eugenics in Swedish society during the early 20th century with the ambition of gaining funds to create the first Race-biological institute and to influence policy-making. Nevertheless there has not been a single study which has focused solely on the exhibit and how the pedagogical ideals that permeated it affected the relation between the public and the media itself nor the political implications of this relation.

This study examined by content analysis and semiotic picture analysis how gender equal the UK newspaper The Times, the U.S/Iranian nespaper Iran Times International and Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet were May 1st 2009 and May 8th 2009. The study had a foundation of feminist theory about patriarchy and gender theory with a contribution of research about Race and its impact on patriarchy.None of the three papers were fully gender equal. Even though Svenska Dagbladet was found to be the most gender equal when it came to the number of women represented all of the newspapers examined showed patriachal structures since women more often than men were described as victimes, trivialized, incompetent and inferior.  People with a Race other than white were in minority but patriarchy seems to be a stronger form of oppression than racism. White men were in majority and were less opressed than other groups and were because of that most in favour of the newspapers symbolic powers..

Superficial digital flexor tendon injuries are common causes of premature retirement or pre-longed convalescence periods for Race horses. The curve gradient at Täby Galopp Race track is very small and most Races as well as high speed training are done on the left rein. It is believed that the horses left foreleg is under considerably more strain then the right foreleg when being ridden on the left rein during gallop at high speed. During gallop on the left rein the horse puts its entire weight on the left foreleg when regaining ground contact. The purpose of this study has been to find out, through analyzing the statistics concerning the horses that visited the ATG clinic at Täby during a period between January 2003 and September 2006, whether there is a higher frequency of superficial digital flexor tendon injuries on the left leg rather than the right and if so, can this support the theory that the design of the Race track in combination with continuous left rein Races can be a contributing cause of these injuries. The result of the study shows that 57% of the tendon injuries occurred on the left front leg and 38% on the right front leg. The difference is not large enough to support the above theory of the underlying cause of these injuries..

Problem Intresset för sport är omfattande i världen och med sporten kommer möjligheter för företag att kommunicera med marknaden. Dessa möjligheter innefattar sponsring. Företag väljer olika sponsringsobjekt, sätter upp mål och aktiverar sin sponsring. I dagsläget finns det dock alltför många företag som investerar i sponsring utan eftertanke till objektets karaktär eller potentiella målsättningar. Dessutom brukar företagen enbart utöva varumärkesexponering vid sportevenemang.

The aim of this essay is to examine the ambivalence that I consider work of solidarity carried out from majority position to be associated with, and whether it makes sense to understand the relationship between majorities and minorities involved in this work by using the concepts of Race and whiteness. Through Ruth Frankenbergs work on white women and Race I consider whiteness to be a racialized position, and through Sara Ahmeds phenomenology of whiteness, which describes racialization as made through the orientation of bodies, I investigate how this racialized position is shaped and maintained by the solidarity work. The study is based on qualitative interviews with four White women engaged in two organizations that works on integration of female immigrants through creating jobs in a cooperative and through educating in national and familial democracy. The work of solidarity told of by the interviewees seems to produce racialized notions about immigrated people of color, which acts as a counterpart to the whiteness that the interviewees themselves possess. At the same time, the work also challenge this binary division, especially by incorporating the non-white women in what in this essay is called "the white world"..

I EU råder det idag en tänkt etableringsfrihet för företag inom gemenskapen. EUD har genom ett antal avgörande domar gett en bild av hur tolkningen av den stadgade etableringsfriheten ska ske. På grund av etableringsfriheten och EUDs praxis genom åren har möjligheter kommit upp för medlemsstater att konkurrera med varandra för att erhålla den bästa lagstiftningen för bolag att starta upp sin verksamhet i.Vissa förespråkare anser att möjligheten till regelkonkurrens riskerar att försämra medlemsstaternas bolagsregler ur ett arbetstagarperspektiv då medlemsstaterna i framtiden kommer att utforma lagar som är förmånliga för bolagen men med ett sämre skydd för arbetstagare, ett såkallat Race to the bottom. Andra menar att regelkonkurrens tvärt om stärker den inre europeiska marknaden då medlemsstaterna aktivt strävar efter att utforma de bästa lagarna ur allas perspektiv och att en sådan konkurrens behövs inom gemenskapen för att aktivt lyfta och utveckla kvalitén på medlemsstaternas bolagsregler, ett såkallat Race to the top.Inom EU diskuteras idag förslag till ett gemensamt privat europeiskt aktiebolag (SPE-bolag) som ska gälla inom hela EU och där bolagsreglerna är desamma i alla medlemsstater. Gemensam harmonisering bland medlemsstaterna kan tänkas motverka en negativ utveckling av regelkonkurrensen (Race to the bottom med försämrat arbetstagarskydd som följd) men kan även medföra att den goda utvecklingen som kan ske genom fri regelkonkurrens mellan nationella bolagsregler stannar upp bland medlemsstaterna.

Integration is a phenomena that occurs in all societies that experience any form of immigration. This process is dependent on how we analyze, both the groups of immigrants, and how we analyze the society in which they becoming integrated.Intersectionality is one method of analyzing this framework. By applying the categories: gender, class and Race on the integration process, we get a more complex picture of the subject. Therefore we also become more able to adjust the actions and arrangement around the different questions of inte-gration.In this essay I try to explain what the intersectionality is, how it is used and how it can apply in integration as a specific subject. I also apply the intersectionality model on different policy documents from Malmö, Vellinge and Landskrona to find out if they show any awareness of this model both explicitly and implicitly..

Enligt den traditionella modellen av skattekonkurrens ska kapitalets mobilitetresultera i ineffektivt lågt satta kapitalskattesatser som med tiden kan leda till endestruktiv ?Race-to-the bottom?, dvs. att länderna kommer att successivt sänka sinaskatter för att attrahera kapital. Detta kan innebära en välfärdsförlust för alla länder.Verkligheten ser dock annorlunda ut. I takt med att kapitalmarknaden liberaliserades iEuropa har de flesta länderna höjt kapitalskatten, även de som hade en relativt högskatt från början.

When performing studies that test the reactions of horses in different situations, important information may be available about the horse?s reactivity level. With information from these tests, accidents and dangerous situations may be prevented. When the behaviours from tests are compared with Race performance it may be possible to evaluate if some behaviours are more desirable at the Race track than others. The aim of this study was to see if behavioural responses correlated with physiological parameters (heart rate, cortisol), the trainer?s opinions and actual Race performance.

The right to non-discrimination is a fundamental part of human rights. Sweden has enacted legislation which prohibits employers from discriminating or harassing employees and job seekers. Swedish authorities also receive a substantial amount of complaints concerning ethnic discrimination in the workplace every year and there are volumes of research showing structural injustices related to discrimination. Despite these facts few employers have so far been found guilty of discrimination on ethnic grounds in Swedish courts.This thesis aims to shed lights on and analyse how the Swedish anti-discrimination legislation is utilised in the Swedish Labour Court regarding discrimination and harassment on ethnic grounds. On the basis that very few lawsuits brought on behalf of employees/job seekers have been successful it is hypothesized that there are problems either with the form of the legislation or the assessment of the court.
