I den här uppsatsen bedrivs en narrativ medieanalys av hur den svenska rapporteringen om Ukraina sett ut mellan januari 2004 och mars 2006 utifrån sex rikstäckande tidningar. Genom kvantitativa och kvalitativa metoder och med hjälp av ett ramverk av de teoretiska begreppen stereotyper, berättelser och diskussionen om "den Andre" i Europa, urskiljer och diskuterar jag ett antal huvudteman
Bemanningsbranschen har på två år, från 2004 till 2006, nästan fördubblat sin omsättning i Sverige och prognosen ser mycket lovande ut även för framtiden. Då bemanningsbranschen omfattar fler och fler arbetstagare för varje år som går, betyder det att det blir allt vanligare att personer arbetar på, eller har arbetat på, ett bemanningsföretag under en period. Det vi har undersökt är: Vilka omständ
Micro credit has become a popular tool in the fight against poverty. All over the world, economists and practitioners have adopted the topicality.

Många missbrukare blir nyktra efter att ha varit på behandling och/eller självhjälpsrörelsemöten, såsom AA, där de arbetar utifrån riktlinjerna De Tolv Stegen. Kunskapen och förståelsen av programmet kan ses som ett livslångt lärande. Tidigare forskning har inte fokuserat på detta samband mellan lärande och nykterhet. Kvalitativa intervjuer har gjorts där fem nyktra beroende har berättat sin livsh

There is a conflict between native Hawaiians and the local tourism industry where tourism is pointed out as the cause of deterioration of the traditional Hawaiian culture.

Through a comparative analysis of works by street artists Faile and Banksy, from both the street and the gallery, I make the point that the field of modern street art is not as homogenous as the media and the established art world often portray it.

In the last decades, it has been acknowledged that the promotion of sustainable consumption lifestyles cannot be achieved without providing individual consumers with environmental information and education.

Resultatet visar att medicinska avhandlingar visserligen är de som genererar flest antal artiklar, men att det jämfört med forskning

The aim of this paper is to conclude with a new definition of oppression.
