I denna uppsats belyser vi hur jämställdhetsarbete kan bedrivas inom en organisation genom att studera ett kvinnligt nätverk hos ett stort svenskt företag i byggbranschen. Syftet med vårt arbete är att bidra med en kritisk diskussion om nytta och funktion av praktiskt jämställdhetsarbete i en samtida arbetslivskontext. Frågeställningen blir därmed: Hur fungerar jämställdhetsarbetet inom det unders

In 2002 George W. Bush held a speech where he classified six nations as being the main threats to American security, one of them being Syria, a state with a secular constitution, no resent offence towards the US, and with an improved diplomatic relationship to the US during the Clinton years. Being an ally to the Soviet Union during the Cold War Syria was forced to redefine its role in the region

In this master thesis, which is made in a qualitative manner, we have as purpose to investigate the nurses' estimation of the hospital welfare officer. We find it interesting to take a closer look at their opinion, because of our earlier, bachelor thesis, based on the same subject, only then in the welfare officer´s perspective on themselves. We have interviewed ten nurses and our questions at

Our purpose with this study was to look at the connection between social capital and integration. Particularly if meetings between people from different cultures can increase social capital and in that way affect integration. We start by identifying the social integration perspective we are going to use through out the study and then we introduce social capital theory as a way of narrowing down th

Increasing cross-border interaction in the border regions combined with the largely state-centric legislative processes of the nation states, have unfolded a demand for border regional actors to attempt to influence the state level to change legislation, as barriers are identified for individuals and companies. Adapting a border regional perspective, the actors and organisational methods to remove

Syftet med uppsatsen är att belysa invandrade akademikers svårigheter på den svenska arbetsmarknaden och empirin består av sex intervjuer; varav fem arbetsförmedlare och en introduktionsförmedlare. Frågeställningen lyder: Vilka hinder finns och hur ser situationen ut på den svenska arbetsmarknaden för invandrade akademiker? Jag använder mig av empirin som består av intervjuer och belyser den med

This bachelor thesis aimed to explore, in a qualitative manner, the relationship and the interaction between the hospital welfare officer and the rest of the nursing staff. We chose this subject because we wanted to explain the phenomena of being a medical outsider in the nursing team. Our questions at issue were the following three: How does the hospital welfare officer define his occupational sp

This essay examines whether feminist theory can give a plausible answer to the question: does female and male students have different attitudes towards the labour market and towards wages? Further more, I examine if factors such as class and ethnicity affect student's attitudes. These questions are investigated through a quantitative study of students at four educations on two different univer

Taking Fëdor Dostoevskij’s and Ljudmila Petrusevskaja’s writings as its starting point, this dissertation explores two different forms of disintegration of worth. In both cases, a world is described where human beings have lost contact with a unique centre of worth – a position in space linked to an irrevocable course of events in time. In Dostoevskij, this disintegration takes place on the level

The objective of this study was to investigate the graded influence from lithium on the antidiuretic effects of desmopressin. Eight healthy male subjects participated in this open, randomised cross-over study with two periods comprising 6 days each. For each subject, one of the study days (6th day) was preceded by a period of lithium treatment. On the study days the subjects were orally water load

Applying optimal control to photoinduced trans-cis isomerization in condensed phase, the dynamics of bond-twisting motion of 1,1'-diethyl-4,4'-cyanine in methanol and propanol is revealed. The shape of the optimized pulse resulting from minimization of the photoisomer formation can be directly related to the initial excited-state dynamics in close proximity to the Franck-Condon point. The solvent

An experimental model is presented that allows qualitative as well as quantitative studies of the soft tissue response to implant materials used in reconstructive surgery. Plugs of non-alloyed titanium and polymers (Teflon, Delrin) were inserted into the abdominal wall of rats, with a portion of the plug penetrating through the peritoneum into the abdominal cavity. The tissue reaction was evaluate

This thesis focuses on the provision and management of water supply and sanitation in housing areas in the City of Dar es Salaam. The main objective of the study is to contribute to knowledge and understanding of provision and management of urban water supply and sanitation in Tanzania in the context of sustainable urbanisation. A sectoral and single problem issue study approach was avoided and in

The purpose of this study was to determine the reliability of an isokinetic test for ankle dorsiflexion fatigue on a Biodex dynamometer Young (21 to 32 years), recreationally active men (n = 10) and women (n = 10) performed 50 concentric (60degrees . s(-1)) dorsiflexion contractions, on two different occasions. Total work (TW), losses in work (work fatigue; WF), as well as relative losses in peak
