The purpose of this study is to examine the political debate about integration and so called ”simple jobs” in Sweden.A main point is also to examine how institutional racism is reproduced in the discourses that dominate the debate. The initial interest of the subject is the strong linkage between social integration and labour that often is taken for granted in the debate. The empirical material co
In order to enhance the accountability and legitimacy of public research, performance-based research funding systems have been introduced in numerous countries during the last decades. Although this development has gathered considerable interest in recent years, it is thus far not clear how performance measures shape research practices and academic subjectivity. Combining bibliometric studies and
A collaborative action research initiative was conducted in collaboration with professionals in a set of clinical research and development networks in a local health care system in Sweden.

Emojis are an increasingly popular addition to written smartphone communication. Since emojis are a rather new phenomena, there is a lot that we do not know about the usage and interpretation of emojis in written communication. This bachelor thesis focuses on the production and interpretation of emojis among Swedish university students, and through a focus group interview, possible functions, inte
Freedom is what many people consider to be the core element in the arab spring. Freedom from oppression and freedom to act without restrictions. The uprisings escalated from a growing disapproval of state governance in the Middle East and North Africa. Through demonstrations an opposition managed to remove the leader of a state, like Hosni Mubarak in Egypt and Ben Ali in Tunisia. The story had qui
In spite of the fact that antonymy is considered to be an important organising lexico-semantic principle, very little research has been conducted to get a better grasp of what ‘goodness’ of binary opposition in human language and thought really is. The focus of this study is what distinguishes antonyms such as bra-dålig ‘good-bad’, lång-kort ‘long-short’, tunn-tjock ‘thin-thick’ from other types o
Relative to vascular plants, little is known about what factors control bryophyte communities or how they respond to successional and environmental changes. Bryophytes are abundant in boreal forests, thus changes in moss community composition and functional traits (for example, moisture and nutrient content; rates of photosynthesis and respiration) may have important consequences for ecosystem pro
The aim of this paper is to examine what meanings “age” was given when Swedish psychiatric institutions were defining, categorising and caring for their patients from 1850 to 1970. The paper focuses on institutional psychiatry’s perspectives on individuals of advanced age and on the way that these individuals were understood in terms directly or indirectly associated with age. The majority of aged
Communication is not always easy. There are several different aspects within technical areas that need to be taken into account when communicating between different platforms. Older systems sometimes want to communicate with newer systems which requires older technology to meet more modern technology. This thesis focuses on an older system that needs to communicate with modern interfaces. The goal
Are NATO and the European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP) destined to be roommates or rivals? The transatlantic relationship between the EU and the United States permeates this question, which is examined by three theoretical approaches. Firstly, a realist perspective is used to answer: What are the national interests of the four pivotal states regarding the ESDP and NATO? For France, the ESDP
In this essay the question of why the European civilisation was the first to rise and expand will be analysed. As there is more than one answer to this question two of the explanations: the Eurocentric and the anti-Eurocentric have been chosen for a comparison and analysis. The Eurocentric explanations see the expansion of Europe as caused by its inner qualities such as: environment, state-system,
It seems like it can never be said enough times: in order to uphold the objectives of the Internal Market, an equal treatment of resident and non-resident taxpayers have to be granted by the Member States. As for the intricate field of direct taxation, it is still somewhat unclear exactly how this equal treatment looks. Consequently, it is also unclear how far the Member States can stretch the ben
This study examines two Swedish EFL textbooks, Viewpoints 2 and Blueprint B, aimed at the English 6 course in Swedish upper secondary school. The aim of the study was to investigate the cognitive levels of reading comprehension questions accompanying literary excerpts in the two examined textbooks. This was done by categorising the reading comprehension questions into the cognitive levels of the r
Den här uppsatsens syfte var att undersöka upplevelserna och hanteringen av gränsen och genomträngligheten mellan arbetslivet och privatlivet hos arbetstagare som arbetar under förtroendetid. Åtta kvalitativa intervjuer genomfördes där deltagarna beskrev sina upplevelser kring fenomenen permeabilitet (genomtränglighet) och work-life conflict (rollkonflikten mellan arbetsliv och privatliv) samt hur
Det huvudsakliga syftet med denna uppsats har varit att ta reda på vilka rättsliga sanktioner majoritets- respektive minoritetsägare kan åberopa då styrelseledamot och VD försummat lojalitetsplikten enligt aktiebolagsrätten. Lojalitetsplikten ses ur majoritets- respektive minoritetsägarnas perspektiv i uppsatsen. Jag har valt att använda mig av rättskälleläran då denna metod utifrån mitt syfte fö
The growing digitalization of recent decades and the ease with which we can connect to others on the web has resulted in many forms of civil activism which appear hardly conceivable without it. Ironically, one of the most profound of these manifestations has been in its defense. In 2012, a European public went online and took to the streets to demonstrate, ultimately successfully, against the Anti
