Abstract The purpose of this theses is to compare three different political groups, The IRA, The Baader-Meinhof group and the Al Qaida, who have all used terroristic methods to achieve their separate goals. By finding out about their history, goals, structures and methods I have made a comparison to see what joins them, what separates them, what originated the birth of their movements and how th

MST, eller O Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurias Sem Terra (Rörelsen för Lantarbetare utan Jord), är en av latinamerikas och kanske världens största och mest inflytelserika sociala rörelser. Rörelsen är dessutom verksam i en av världens största politiska, ekonomsika, kulturella och sociala smältdeglar. I vår uppsats vill vi undersöka, dels vilka metoder som en social rörelse kan tillämpa när det g

The idea that I put forward in this thesis concerns the democratic system and the threat from discoursive impact on its core values. I focus my normative analysis on three of these democratic values: transparency, accountability and influence ? and what democratic problems the discoursive impact causes in conflict with them. I have used a critical discourse theory to define discourse and discoursi

The following study was undertaken in the spring of 2005 in Helsingborg, Sweden. It presents a study of the experience and values six young couples have related to parenting and gender equality. Twelwe people, six women and six men, were interviewed about the above mentioned topics related to their new found role as parents. How did these women and men choose to assign or elaborate their role as

The discussion of the swedish treatment of offenders often revolves round the two contradictions punishment and care. Modern prison is described to be based on values such as humanity, care and respect, although the main task is to protect the society from criminals by keeping them locked up. This study focused on the role of the prison officer with the purpose of understanding how he sees his pro

This study is an effort to find a connection between the high number of people on sick leave, the occupational health situation at the workplace, and stronger market competition and globalisation forces. The basis for the study is statistics, mainly on injuries and diseases, interviews with people in different positions with either long experience within the safety and health situation or otherwi

Problem: Mediestrategier ingår som en del av en organisations kriskommunikation och massmedier spelar en viktig roll för organisationer både i tider vid kris och i tider utan kris. Norrtimmer är ett företag som under 90-talet gick igenom en stor kris. Företaget saknade vid detta tillfälle mediestrategier. Uppsatsens syfte var att genom utredning av Norrtimmers mediehantering under krisen få förstå

My purpose with the study is to investigate if it is possible to argue in favor of organizing public libraries according to the client based theory. To create a base to argue from I have studied UFO, a department focused on young adults at the age between 15 and 25 at the public library of Malmö. This case study, performed by investigating the documentation of UFO as well as conducting an intervie

The subject of this thesis is to ascertain the task of the public library in Swedish society today according to the employer, that is the State and the municipalities, and according to the public library itself. The thesis also tries to establish as to what extent these different actors share the same view of the task. To this purpose I have studied the library law, the target reports of municipal

The aim of this thesis is to explore the job satisfaction of librarians and try to nuance stereotypes, which the public has and which still exist in massmedia concerning librarians and their work. The study is qualitative and based mainly on semistructured interviews with ten libraries born between 1937s and 1973s of which eight are women and two men. Furthermore, I have divided them into two grou

Historiskt sett har det hört till ovanligheterna att man anlagt ett användarperspektiv vid systemutveckling. Trots att det finns mycket att vinna på att arbeta användarcentrerat ägnas inte användbarheten någon nämnvärd uppmärksamhet, utan fokus inom systemutvecklingen ligger fortfarande på tekniken. Kostnaden för dåligt användarstöd är mycket stor både beträffande arbetsskador och låg effektivitet

This study aimed at evaluating the applicability of affordances and to what extent the concept could explain design related incidents. The chosen area of interest was healthcare. By employing the Critical Incidents Technique and melding it with the concept of affordances, an evaluation of designs was conducted on workflow activities in a Central Sterilization Unit. Results indicated that affordanc

China is growing to become the largest economy in the world, yet, the Middle Kingdom has a number of problems. New and productive non-state owned firms -the engine of growth- face a problem when searching for inexpensive external funding. That is, non state-owned firms have a hard time applying for commercial bank loans. The government is implementing liberating reforms. But the reforms are limite

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Jordens klimat står under ständiga variationer och förändringar, och det är inte alltid lätt att sära på orsak och verkan bland den mängd av faktorer som styr klimatet. För att kunna reda ut ursprunget till de förändringar som sker, måste de bakomliggande processerna vara väl kända. Sedan är det möjligt att genom matematiska modeller uppskatta de individuella prSeveral studies have analysed the relationship between Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and radiative surface temperature. A main goal for most studies have been to find the best method for carrying out land cover classifications and to study land cover changes, based on a combination between the two parameters. Since atmospheric components have a significant influence on both paramet

In this study my aim has been to discover what connections can be made between the way of creating a library building and the general values concerning the library activities and the library users. What kind of ideology could possibly be reflected in a library room? My study includes two different parts. First of all there is a theoretical section based upon literature relevant for the subject. He

Med en ansats i kognitiva teorier om de omedvetna processer som kan ligga bakom fenomenet intuition undersöks i denna kvalitativa studie begreppet ”intuitiva användargränssnitt” på djupet. En teorisyntes om vad intuition är och hur det fungerar presenteras. I en empirisk undersökning i form av kvalitativa intervjuer frågas interaktionsdesigners om deras definition av begreppet intuitiva användargr

Denna uppsats har som syfte att klargöra hur långt det är tillåtet att med reverse engineering experimentera med en patentskyddad uppfinning innan patentintrång föreligger. Främst förs en diskussion om hur långt det är tillåtet att experimentera med en patentskyddad uppfinning, utifrån patentlagens experimentundantag, utan att kränka ensamrätten som patentet ger. För att svara på denna fråga börja

This paper investigates whether the reduction in Finland’s macroeconomic variability has been superior to that in Sweden since Finland joined the EMU in 1996. The theoretical aspects of macroeconomic variability, business cycle fluctuations, and stabilization policies are discussed along with issues of relevancy related to the EMU. The analysis compares the variances of the cyclical components of

Postorderbranschen omsätter åtta miljarder kronor varje år. Ungefär 30% av detta sker genom e-handel. Försäljningen av postorderföretagens produkter över nätet har visat sig öka successivt över de senaste åren. Vi frågade oss därför hur övergången till e-handel har påverkat postorderföretagens kunder. Syftet med denna uppsats var att undersöka dessa skillnader för att se vilka förändringar kundern
