Uppsatsens syfte är att analysera jobbrotation utifrån ett lärandeperspektiv. Utifrån en kvalitativ forskningsstrategi med narrativ metod har vi tagit del av fem stycken berättelser från medarbetare på AstraZeneca och Polismyndigheten i Skåne. Genom berättelser har vi fått ta del av medarbetares erfarenheter, tankar, åsikter och känslor kring jobbrotation och lärande. Utifrån den bearbetade empiri

Den övergripande frågeställningen för uppsatsen är: Vad innebär det ur ett demokratiperspektiv när en abonnerad morgontidning väljer att ge ut en gratistidning för att nå lågresursgrupperna i samhället??. Bakgrunden till frågan är att Helsingborgs dagblad valt att ge ut gratistidningen Xtra Helsingborg för att nå ut i de områden där tidningen har få läsare. Gemensamt för dessa stadsdelar är att de

It is estimated that approximately 10 000 people are living in Sweden after having been rejected residence permit or asylum, meaning that they have to hide from the authorities while facing a risk of being deported by means of violence as they do not wish to leave voluntarily. For their existence, a vast number of people employed by the public administration can be expected to contribute to the w

The aim of this Master's thesis is to study how DIK (Documentation, Information and Culture), the major trade union for Swedish librarians, work with the status and professionalization of the occupation. The status is, as we see it, low and depending on several factors. They are among others: the knowledge base, how extended the research base is and the domination of women within the professio

Epiphanies constitute an essential aspect of Woolf's fiction, as well as her ideas about fiction. In "To the Lighthouse" they are part of the structure, but also part of the experience of life, how the flux of existence is perceived. This essay focuses not only on the ?little daily miracles? which replace a great revelation, but also on the nature of the chaos, the passing and flowin

Using tools and ideas from narratology, reader-response theory and cognitive poetics, and focusing on the representation of perception, this essay studies identity in four short stories by Elizabeth Bowen: "The Demon Lover", "The Inherited Clock", "Dead Mabelle" and "Foothold". The supernatural or uncanny element in the stories is seen as part of a defamilia

Uppsatsen behandlar det genomgående motivet av maktkamper i August Strindbergs dramatik. Konflikten är en essentiell ingrediens i praktiskt taget all berättande men Strindberg går ofta längre i sina dramer. Huvudpersonen kämpar mot religionen, andra människor eller sig själv och kampen är en strävan efter makt över motståndaren eller vad den andre parten representerar. Uppsatsen analyser ett anta

Based upon theories founded on social constructionism, and criticism raised against these theories, this study aims to present a more complex perspective on non-heterosexuality from what has earlier been presented in Swedish lesbian, gay, bisexuality and transsexuality research.

The aim of this Master's thesis is to study whether bibliometrics can serve as a method to analyse the humanities.

Vi konsumerar allt mer i en allt högre hastighet och barnfamiljerna är en målgrupp som marknadens aktörer gärna vill knyta till sina produkter. Funderar vi över hur vi handlar, är det hedonistiska eller moraliska faktorer som avgör eller sker det helt enkelt på rutin och i invanda mönster? Är förstagångsmamman mer intresserad av estetiskt tilltalande produkter eller anser hon att etiska frågor som

The overall aim with this essay was to study how counsellors at upper secondary school work with mental illness among youths and compare this with what research and theories advocate. This because there has been a rise in the number of people, especially in the age-group 16-24 years, suffering from different degrees of mental illnesses. The school can in some aspect contribute to cause mental illn

The following thesis is examining compliance with EU-law from a member state perspective. The variation in the compliance level between the member states from 1995 to 2005 is analyzed to prove the fact that the Nordic member countries during the measured time period experienced a low number of infringements. The infringements that did occur were resolved faster and more efficient in the Nordic cou

Jag har valt att studera etnologi vid Lunds universitet med sikte på en karriär inom museivärlden. Grundutbildningen i etnologi kan därför bidra med en mängd användbara teoretiska redskap och en god inblick i mänskliga kulturmönster och livsvärldar. Genom tidigare studier i museologi samt yrkespraktik vid Malmö Museer har jag dock upptäckt att arbetsuppgifterna på ett museum även kräver konkret ku

Beside this I want to, as a part, describe how the child perspective
