The following study intends to analyze how overweight characters are portrayed in children's picture books. With a quantitative and qualitative content analysis thi
Under vår tid som studenter vid programmet för Personal- och ar- betslivsfrågor har vi gång på gång kommit fram till att roten till flera problem och svaret på många frågor är kommunikation. Då kommu- nikation är ett brett ämne valde vi att avgränsa oss till Jürgen Habermas teori om kommunikativt handlande som har präglat många organisa- tionsforskares syn på dialog och valt ut tre olika perspekti
Den 1 januari 1981 trädde den första skatteflyktslagen i kraft. Sedan dess har det alltid funnits ett rekvisit i lagen som föreskrivit att dess tillämpning förutsätter att ett visst förfarande strider mot lagstiftningens grunder eller syfte. Detta rekvisit anses vara det mest svårtillämpade av rekvisiten i 2 § skatteflyktslagen samtidigt som det anses det vara det viktigaste då det knyter an till The first general clause to prevent tax avoidance was introduced in the Swedish tax system the first of January 1981. The clause has always had a criterion that states that the clause is only applicable on procedures incompatible with the purpose of the legislation. This criterion has been considered the hardest one of the criterions in the general clause to apply. Nevertheless, it is also conside
The idea of the open air museum was to create a museum that would make the history of the people accessible for everyone. The early open air museums also aimed at educating the people into a common national identity by indicating a collective history. This essay examines how the formation of the open air museums was affected by the dominant ideologies at the end of the 19th century and how this ba
Activity based workplace offices are more and more common in organizations today. Recent research in this field of interest is quite limited and in particular research concerning leadership in relation to activity based environments. The question is what consequences the introduction of an activity based workplace office has for the leadership within the organization. The purpose of our study is t
In this paper the political framing in Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen’s speech at the opening of the Danish parliament will be examined. To accomplish the purpose of the study, classical and modern framing theory will be used to show the form, function and effects of the frames in concern. Main theories in the paper are George Lakoff and Robert Entman, while secondary theoretical works spand
Tidigare forskning antyder att kompetensupplevelse såväl som socialt stöd från både kollegor och chefer har en betydelse för arbetstillfredsställelsen. Mestadels av den forskning som gjorts har emellertid rört sociala yrkeskategorier så som sjuksköterskor samt lärare, och få studier har undersökt andra kategorier som till exempel musiker. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur kompetensupplevels
This study analyses the intragenerational mobility patterns in Mexico from 1960 until 2011. Using the Retrospective Demographic Survey (EDER) 2011, together with simple and multinomial logistic regressions, we estimated the determinants’ coefficients of the transition rates to higher, lower, and specific occupational strata. "Exports/GDP" and "Number of workers in the industrial pub
This study is a comparison between the two natural textile fibers cotton and hemp. A comparison of the various phases in the fibers’ respective lifecycles is prepared by compiling and organizing data in a MET- matrix. This matrix is then analyzed in order to discern what environmental effects are associated with each textile fiber. Apart from raising concerns regarding the fact that sustainable fi
Skillnaden i sysselsättningsgrad mellan inrikes och utrikes födda på den svenska arbetsmarknaden ökar och arbetslösheten bland utrikes födda är idag högre än någonsin tidigare. En anledning till att det är så svårt för utrikes födda att få tillträde till arbetsmarknaden är att de inte anses leva upp till de krav på svenskkunskaper som ställs. Samtidigt kan alltför höga krav på språkkunskaper utgörThe ethnic segregation on the Swedish labour market is increasing and the unemployment rate for foreign born is higher than ever before. Requirements of great knowledge in the Swedish language in order to qualify for employments, is one reason for difficulties when entering the labour market. At the same time, language requirements which are set higher than necessary is discriminatory due to EU- a
Most people in Sweden express worries regarding the environment. A big concern when it comes to climate change is the lack of action. This study focuses on the environmetalist who says one thing and then does another. Most people do things that don’t necessarily always go hand in hand with their beliefs, this behavior is not unusual but it is a common source of discomfort. The study explores the d
The relation between humans and animals has been through the course of history a controversial matter. The understandings regarding this issue are today various, however, this essay analyses only a few of them and primarily six types of understandings by using a post-humanist theoretical framework. The purpose of this essay is, therefore, to achieve a broader understanding of how animals’ subjecti
Following the annexation of Crimea in March 2014 and the conflict that broke out in Eastern Ukraine shortly afterwards, 1.679.000 people became internally displaced in Ukraine. Due to the large scale of the displacement, the legislative gaps and low capacity of institutions, national law and practice are inconsistent with international standards for the protection of internally displaced persons.
Människan är en social varelse som kommunicerar och interagerar med andra individer, oavsett kontext. Kommunikation i olika former är ständigt pågående och påverkar människan medvetet och omedvetet både i privata och offentliga miljöer med såväl bekanta som med främlingar. På arbetsplatsen är kommunikation oundvikligt för de anställda i det dagliga arbetet och därför är det av vikt att den interna
Flooding is a major risk to the ever increasing urban population, posing a threat to human lives but also causing traffic interruptions, economic losses and pollution. Built up areas are prone to flooding due to the changes of previously pervious surfaces being covered by buildings and impervious pavements, such as asphalt. Furthermore, the resulting increased surface runoff does often not get rou
Denna uppsats argumenterar för behovet av mer forskning, förståelse och medvetenhet kring destruktiva konsekvenser av ledarskap. Företag drabbas i dag av nedskärningar, stora förändringar och hög grad av arbetsbelastning. Dessa faktorer skapar tillsammans en grogrund för mellanmänskliga konflikter inom företagen, varför ledarskap får sig en allt större och mer betydelsefull roll. Genom att utforsk
This study examines the war-time mobilization in Sweden during World War II by looking at three case studies. The empirical part of the study focus on three specific strategies for food security lead by the Swedish authorities during the war: the transition to plant-based agriculture and consumption, use of "the forest's pantry" and cooperation between urban and rural areas. In the
Uppsatsens huvudsakliga fokus är den pågående förändringen av regelverk gällande whistleblowing i Sverige. Syftet är att klargöra gällande rätt i Sverige för anställda i den privata sektorn genom ett överstatligt och nationellt perspektiv.

A comparison and analysis of possible changes that will occur with the new law, that is soon to be entered into force in Sweden, aiming to protect t
This study deciphers the westbound journey of the Swedish Linnaeus disciple Pehr Kalm, comparing his ontology to that of another category of Swedes crossing the Atlantic: the forest Finns. While Pehr Kalm's travels are financed by The Royal [Swedish] Academy [of Sciences], the forest Finns are initially deported to the "New Sweden" colony. Kalm is seized by "terror" - in th
The title of my thesis is "Jungle Fever", it aims to investigate the circumstances under which an unusual degree of violence can be used toward activists in the Amazonian region. In my study i looked at both historical factors as well as recent reports from the area which resulted in a conclusion that the pressure, not the least in economic forms, in combination with an absent judicial s
