Att undersöka attityder kring hur reklam kan påverka män och kvinnors identitet är således relevant eftersom vi lever i en konsumentkultur där kommersiella resurser är med och skapar våra identiteter.

Ett rörligt samhälle med skiftande värderingar ställer olika krav på organisationer om kontinuerlig förnyelse. Varumärken med stark koppling till föråldrade ideal finner sig därmed i en paradoxal situation med krav på förnyelse inom kärnvärderingar och segment som tidigare varit framgångsfaktorer. Sådana förändringar leder således till traditionellt motsägande ståndpunkter och kan uppfattas som inA dynamic society with shifting ideals puts pressure on organisations to continuously change. Brands with strong associations of conservative values therefore find themselves in a paradoxical situation with public demand for a change in core values and organisational segments previously associated with success. Such changes consequently lead to traditionally contradictory standpoints and could be

Forskning visar att upplevelser av diskriminering och modern rasism (bland annat mikroaggressioner) har en negativ belastning på den psykiska hälsan bland etniska minoriteter och marginaliserade grupper. Detta har förklarats bland annat genom begreppet minoritetsstress men det finns fortfarande kunskapsluckor i hur man kan förebygga detta. Denna studie syftade till att bidra till detta växande forResearch shows that experiences of discrimination and modern racism (including micro-aggressions) have a negative impact on the mental health of ethnic minorities and marginalized groups. This has been explained for instance by the concept of minority stress, but there are still gaps in science on how to prevent this. This study aimed to contribute to this growing field of research by examining se

Det har skett stora förändringar i resebeteendet, inte minst under covidpandemin. Det ökade intresset för att resa inom landet förväntas bestå och ett lands varumärke samt identitet spelar en betydande roll för turistnäringen. Globaliseringen gör det allt svårare att differentiera sig som land, samtidigt som multikulturella befolkningar erbjuder nya möjligheter och utmaningar.

När politikerna själva har ordet Denna studie undersöker vad som händer när den politiska kommunikationen förflyttas från de traditionella nyhetsmedierna till den politiska organisationen, och därmed inte är beroende av journalister och gatekeepers längre. Samt om en politisk organisation, genom sin Youtube-kanal, i själva verket kan göra anspråk på att likställas med traditionell journalistik. UtWhen the politicians have the floor This study examines what happens when political communication is shifted from the traditional news media to the political organization itself, and thus is no longer dependent on journalists and gatekeepers. As well as whether a political organization, through its YouTube channel, can in fact claim to be equivalent to traditional journalism. Based on previous res

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur personer som leder startup-team rapporterar att teamet påverkats av personalförändringar, och hur de hanterat dessa inom företaget. Eftersom startup tenderar att präglas av mycket personalförändringar och förväntas leverera snabba resultat, finns där ett särskilt intresse att kunna hantera personalförändringar så effektivt som möjligt.

I musikundervisning används rytmikmetoden som en helhetspedagogik för kunskapsinhämtning och för att stärka förståelse för musikteori. I rytmikmetoden är rörelse av kroppen centralt. En grundpelare i rytmikmetoden är praktik före teori eller ”sound before symbol”, alltså att vi behöver uppleva och erfara saker för att sedan kunna lära oss teorin bakom dem.
