The aim of this Master's thesis is to study whether bibliometrics can serve as a method to analyse the humanities. To investigate this a literature study was conducted that examined previous studies concerning bibliometrics and the humanities. Furthermore a bibliometric analysis of comparative literature was carried out. These research findings were then further examined through the perspecti

Vi konsumerar allt mer i en allt högre hastighet och barnfamiljerna är en målgrupp som marknadens aktörer gärna vill knyta till sina produkter. Funderar vi över hur vi handlar, är det hedonistiska eller moraliska faktorer som avgör eller sker det helt enkelt på rutin och i invanda mönster? Är förstagångsmamman mer intresserad av estetiskt tilltalande produkter eller anser hon att etiska frågor som

The overall aim with this essay was to study how counsellors at upper secondary school work with mental illness among youths and compare this with what research and theories advocate. This because there has been a rise in the number of people, especially in the age-group 16-24 years, suffering from different degrees of mental illnesses. The school can in some aspect contribute to cause mental illn

The following thesis is examining compliance with EU-law from a member state perspective. The variation in the compliance level between the member states from 1995 to 2005 is analyzed to prove the fact that the Nordic member countries during the measured time period experienced a low number of infringements. The infringements that did occur were resolved faster and more efficient in the Nordic cou

Jag har valt att studera etnologi vid Lunds universitet med sikte på en karriär inom museivärlden. Grundutbildningen i etnologi kan därför bidra med en mängd användbara teoretiska redskap och en god inblick i mänskliga kulturmönster och livsvärldar. Genom tidigare studier i museologi samt yrkespraktik vid Malmö Museer har jag dock upptäckt att arbetsuppgifterna på ett museum även kräver konkret ku

The purpose of this study was principally to illuminate and describe how the alteration in law (1994:137) about the reception of asylum seekers and others has been implemented at some different authorities in Sweden, according to separated children; children who have fled to Sweden without their parents or other adult guardians. Beside this I want to, as a part, describe how the child perspective

Problem/Bakgrund: Upplevelsen av ett neurotiskt beteende är ett psykologiskt fenomen och ofta är det den psykologiska vetenskapen som forskar inom ämnet. Vad som inte får förringas är att konstruktionen av neuros innefattar sociologiska och socialpsykologiska orsaker. En individs personlighetstruktur formas i interaktionen med kulturen och det är i detta möte som neurosen har sin grund. Religionen

In the paper three women with vulvar vestibulitis (long-term pain condition during sexual intercourse) were interviewed to find which conceptions the women experience exist about vestibulitis and how the women they self feel about the condition. Furthermore it was examined if and how the construction of vulvar vestibulitis affects the identity of the women. The method used was half-structured inte

Vi lever idag i ett mångkulturellt samhälle där människor från alla världens hörn möts. Anledningen till att vi ville göra denna undersökning är att vi anser att det finns en diskurs i det svenska samhället om att invandrartjejer är strängt hållna, kontrollerade och förtryckta. Det är oftast denna grupp av tjejer som nämns och problematiseras i samhället. Vi vill bidra till att ge samhället en ann

Den här uppsatsen låter sex unga journalister komma till tals med avseende på hur de tänker kring förhållandena på arbetsmarknaden. Syftet är att med hjälp av en kvalitativ intervjustudie belysa hur unga journalister tänker kring sin karriär, framtid och livet vid sidan av yrket.

Vårt intresse till att göra denna undersökning grundas på det stora och växande utrymme som Landskrona har fått i medierna, särskilt efter höstens valresultat och de debatter som förts kring kriminaliteten i Landskrona. Den bild som har presenterats i medierna har således handlat om det som är problematiskt och hotfullt. Därav är vårt syfte med denna uppsats att ta reda på vad det är för slags bro

Som förälder till en 12-åring ser jag en stor förändring i konsumtionsmönstret jämfört med då jag själv var barn på 70-talet. Skillnaden består kanske främst i att barn idag, generellt sätt, verkar ha mycket fler och dyrare prylar än vad min generation hade då vi var barn. Detta är ett intressant sociologiskt fenomen vilket utgör bakgrunden till min undersökning. Syftet med min uppsats är att unde

The rapid population growth in China during the last decades has put an enormous pressure on cultivation production and water supply. Many regions in China are therefore facing water scarcity and shortage of arable land. One of such regions is Gansu and it is considered as the driest and poorest province in China. This arid and semi-arid region is signifying a very uneven annual precipitation patt

The purpose of our study is to examine what risk factors can contribute to a child/youth with neuropsychiatric disorders developing an addiction to drugs. We also wanted to find out what protective factors can contribute not to develop an addiction. In order to find out these two different aspects we interviewed twelve professionals to get their view upon the matter. The professionals work within

In some postmodern philosophy and theology, the view of God has returned to the centre of the discussion. God is seen as a living reality beyond human conception. Some of the contemporary philosophers even relate to the negative or apofatic theology. They often do this as a contrast to the positive theology. The view of God in postmodern theology and philosophy is beyond our rational knowledge. Th

The Swedish Armed Forces have gone through a remarkable change. From being an organisation built on the notion of countering a Soviet invasion it has evolved to focusing on small, multilateral rapid reaction capabilities to be used within the framework of the European security and defence policy, ESDP. This thesis regards the change as a process of Europeanisation. Drawing from sociological a

This Master's thesis aims to investigate librarians' identity construction through the study of their narratives about themselves and their lives. We want to understand in what way the education in Library- and Information science contributes to shape the students professional identity and how these identities then continue to be transformed when they enter their professional lives. We ass

This essay analyses the European Food Safety Authority's (EFSA) legitimacy. Theories on input- and output legitimacy are used in the examination. After analysing stakeholder representation, forum for deliberation, transparency, independence, and information sharing, input legitimacy in EFSA is assessed to be high. Output legitimacy was examined through the authority's outcome effectiveness

This master thesis is written in the purpose to discover which attitudes the public libraries in Sweden and Denmark have towards offering popular music to their patrons, how they motivates their choices and why they make the choices they make.

The purpose of our report was to analyze the effects of youth drug abuse on the families concerned. Youth drug abuse made us wonder about the effects on the family as a whole, of those involved with drug abuse. To answer this question, we decided to employ an empiric study in the form of interviews with four teenagers, five parents and four drug counselors. Because our intent was to understand rat
