Mediemarknaden i Sverige har förändrats mycket de senaste decennierna och där har en ökad marknadsorientering spelat en stor roll. Under samma tid har också ägarkoncentrationen inom media ökat. En fungerande media spelar en viktig roll i en demokrati och mediekoncentration anses från de flesta håll ha negativa konsekvenser på mediemarknaden. Mångfalden samt yttrandefriheten skadas och i förlängnin
This is a case study that aims to explain social media's impact on the outcome of the Egyptian revolution by examining the social and political issues. The social mobilization process intends to seek citizens' rights to sustain a civil society. Two main theories about the role of media from a social perspective and civil society are used in order to understand the rise of revolution and w
The relationship between the social political constructions; The Orient and The Occident; The East and The West; Them and Us is not a new mental synthesis. However, it was during the colonial era the idea of The Other manifested itself within the narrative. The colonial heritage is still evident in today’s discourse regarding the Diaspora. Postcolonial theory aim to create awareness around the cir
The topic for this research is the Kennedymyth in the context of the American dream. The posed question is, in what way this Kennedymyth in American politics, is part of the myth of the American dream. There are a number of theories regarding myth in the academic world. We refer to theoreticians and what they have written. In the analytical part we see in what way these different theories could co
The increasing multinational societies brought the issue of political recognition and accomodation of ethnic minority groups, and adoption of multicultural policies are found to be facilitator in this process. Both as a political idea and set of public policies, multiculturalism is highly contested on whether it is responsible for failed integration and segregated ethnic communities. Nonetheless,
Internet Piracy has become a phenomenon as a result of developed Internet technologies and file-sharing applications. With the growth of the Internet and the increased number of Internet users around the globe, the world is becoming ever more digitalized. Users are expecting digital information to be readily available at the touch of a button. This has caused an immense demand for digital goods, w
Ämnet för denna magisteruppsats är Hylands hörna, närmare bestämt den första tv-säsongen av programmet, som visades 1962-63. Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka hur svensk självbild iscensätts rituellt i denna första tv-säsong. De viktigaste teoretiska verktygen har hämtats från Erving Goffmans Jaget och maskerna enligt vilken mänsklig aktivitet är teatralt utformad; vi spelar roller på en scen infö

High levels of biodegradable dissolved organic carbon can affect odor, taste, color and chemical oxygen demand of distributed drinking water as a consequence of bacterial growth (Frias et al, 1995; Escobar, I.C. and Randall, A.A., 2001). The water industry would be able to improve the quality of distributed drinking water if spatial and temporal variations of BDOC could be mapped in the distributi
Många marknader präglas idag av hård konkurrens. Företagen måste fokusera på skapandet av enastående kundvärde för att säkra långsiktig framgång. Syftet med denna uppsats är att ge ökad förståelse för och bidra med aktuell kunskap till fenomenet upplevt kundvärde. För att belysa detta genomfördes en undersökning med flygplatsen som exempel på ett tjänsteföretag för att ta reda på i vad flygresenär
Föreliggande uppsats behandlar lönediskriminering och osakliga löneskillnader på grund av kön på den svenska arbetsmarknaden. Rättsdogmatisk metod har legat till grund för uppsatsens underlag genom rättskälleläran samt empiriskt material i form av statistik från Medlingsinstitutet och rapporter från motparter på arbetsmarknaden. Praxis har visat att den mest problematiska och svåråtkomliga lönedis

This thesis examines if international law and its protection mechanisms satisfactorily address the protection needs of internally displaced persons (IDPs). At the end of 2011, around 25 million people around the world were internally displaced by armed conflict, generalized violence and human rights violations. In contrast, the number of refugees was approximately 16 million. In spite of the fact
Business Intelligence (BI) systems are becoming a common standard among organizations. Because of this, it is important to consider both the positive and the negative aspects regarding the phenomenon. Furthermore it is vital to analyze how companies utilize their BI systems and how it affects them. With this paper we strive to attain a deeper understanding of the practical implications of a BI sys
The thesis will identify how Novab is working with transfer of knowledge within their company. Novab is a medium sized organization and have few resources in relation to several of the major construction companies in Sweden. This means that there is no room for large and costly systems to compile and transfer the knowledge obtained in the organization in a structured way. Explore what lies behind
One of the essential engineer’s jobs is to achieve the most economical technical solutions. Weight optimization is important since it provides a structure that can carry the applied loads in addition to fulfilling the structural requirements. In this project, a Matlab-algorithm has been developed to find the optimum design of steel portal frames according to “Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures
In the past it was common to build in timber but in the last 150 years, steel and concrete in particular have been the dominating material in bridge-buildings. This is mainly due to not having mastered the timber construction to the same extent as steel and concrete. Nowdays the interest in timber bridges have increased and the technical solutions have been greatly developed in the last 15 years.
Timber-concrete composite structures were originally developed for upgrading existing timber oors, but during last decades, they have new applications in multistorey buildings. Most of the research performed on these structures has focused on systems in which wet concrete is cast on top of timber beams with mounted connectors. Recently investigations on composite systems were performed at Luleå Un
The drive of using more renewable material has increased the interest in timber bridges. This makes it more interesting in looking in to new ways of constructing timber bridges. Most timber bridges for road traffic are using an arch with a hanging deck suspended from the arch using vertical hangers. This master thesis has looked at the possibility of using a system (developed for steel arch bridge
