En jämförelse av den turkiska och den svenska lärarutbildningenOlgac, Aysegül, Tuomivirta, Kirsi-mari January 2007 (has links)
This is a study, where we have deepened ourselves little more in the Swedish and the Turkish teacher training. We have both looked on the differences and the resemblances. We are also aware about that the essay builds on a small study and a limited material, special when it comes to the Turkish teacher training. Therefore we have drawn our conclusions with big caution. They are examined and preliminary, but we are than however convinced about that. Our essay gives an insight on how both teacher trainings are edified and what they have for aim. We have looked on the governing documents for the teacher trainings for respective country and therefore will we not neither forget away to point out that the study's focus lies firstly and mainly on the different governing documents for both the Swedish teacher training and the Turkish teacher training. We have also carried out written interviews with teacher students both from Sweden and Turkey. Our central aim with the study and that we found the most interesting question, how is shaped teacher students to teachers?, through the equal/the different teacher trainings, according to the politicians that constant speaks about the teacher's importance for the society and its development and that we came until through looking on the governing documents and through our questionnaire survey, was that the in both countries exists a value system that moulds the proposed teachers. Moreover, we found more resemblances than what we believed that existed. The biggest differences each depending on the both countries' historical development of the school.

The Swedish Fashion Industry goes abroad : A Case Study of Frank Dandy Superwear ABHaghighi Moghaddam, Ali, Lantz, David, Gasparini, Alexander January 2008 (has links)
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to describe and to understand how a company within Swedish fashion industry, namely Frank Dandy, enters foreign mar-kets. Background: The Swedish fashion industry, defined as SMEs who have produced world-wide recognized brands created by designers and visionaries, has got a lot of coverage in media recently for its success abroad. Theories concerning in-ternationalization have previously not been applied to examine the latest development in the Swedish fashion industry or companies within it, such as Frank Dandy. A gap exists because previous studies have generalized re-tailers, textile industry, fashion houses, distributors and so on as fashion in-dustry. When in reality there is a big difference between these units, and what media refer to as the Swedish fashion industry. Method: For this study, a qualitative method has been chosen and the abductive ap-proach of systematic combing has been applied when creating a case study concerning Frank Dandy’s internationalization process. The abductive ap-proach enables the authors to successively modify their framework as new empirical findings arise and thus match it with the best theory suited to give insight to how Frank Dandy enters foreign markets. Conclusion: The purpose of this study has been fulfilled and the authors can conclude that Frank Dandy enters foreign markets through agents and distributors, as predicted by the Uppsala model. However, distributors are preferred over agents since they put less strain on the organization and finally that distribu-tors and agents are handpicked from an extensive international network.

Strategy and planning in Swedish Companies : - Corporate perceptions: A study of six Swedish companiesForsberg, Eric January 2008 (has links)
Frequently discussed in different contexts, corporate strategy and strategic planning is something which importance hardly will diminish over the coming years as competition grows harder. The needs for companies to think ahead of their business operations have grown increasingly during the decades. From the viewpoint of an independent researcher I have decided to look at Swedish companies operating in Sweden and abroad. I want to know how the strategic planning process takes place in these companies, in order to give an insight to what the process could look like in Sweden today. My research question has been: How is strategic planning perceived in Swedish companies? I have selected some different theories from the university library’s collection of databases, respectively dealing with leadership, outsourcing, business intelligence et cetera. These theories are the foundation of the semi-structured and by telephone, in-person and internet performed interviews with seven different managers at some selected companies in different businesses, mainly located in northern Sweden. Asking questions based on the underlying theories I have been able to draw some conclusions about the planning processes in the studied companies. The study shows that almost all companies have some kind strategic planning process and that more or less all of them to some extent consider some of the theories employed in the theory chapter. While only two companies seemed to be quite strict, the rest had some emergent semi-structured strategic plan with much flexibility, which is not necessarily wrong.

Conceptual Contrasts : A Comparative Semantic Study of Dimensional Adjectives in Japanese and SwedishShimotori, Misuzu January 2013 (has links)
The present study explores the concepts behind Japanese and Swedish dimensional adjectives. The focus is on examining which similarities and differences in the conceptualisation across the two languages exist, if any at all. In order to see how concepts underlying dimensional adjectives are represented in the speaker's minds, data was collected mainly from two word-association tests. The results show that dimensional adjectives are conceptualised and represented differently by speakers of these two languages. The most remarkable difference resulting from the word-association tests is that Japanese participants associate dimensional adjectives mostly with nouns that denote entities the prominent extension of which is aptly described by the stimulus dimensional adjective (e.g. 'long' is associated with 'river'). In Swedish, however, participants associate dimensional adjectives with both adjectives and nouns, and the association patterns and their underlying conceptualisations are thus more diverse (e.g. 'high' is associated with 'building', and 'long' is associated with 'narrow').

Folkmusikundervisningen på fiol och gitarr och dess historiska röttervon Wachenfeldt, Thomas, Brändström, Sture, Liljas, Juvas Marianne January 2013 (has links)
How folk musicians of today learn to play their instruments is an over-all question in this article. One violin lesson and one guitar lesson have been observed at Framnäs folk high school. Three research questions were formulated. What do the two lessons have in common? What are the differences? How could the folk music education of today be related to the Swedish fiddler movement in the 1920s and other folk music traditions? Theoretically, the interpretation of the results was based on the mimesis theory of Ricoeur. Two teachers and three students participated in the study. The results showed that the lessons were structured in a similar way and dominated by master apprenticeship teaching. The violin teacher showed a more respectful attitude towards the tradition compared to the guitar teacher. Great parts of the manifest ideology of the fiddler movement seems to have become concealed into a latent or frozen ideology in the formal folk music education of today. There seems to be no big differences between learning the music by way of visiting an older fiddler hundred years ago compared to the study of music today at a formal institution. / Musikfolkhögskolans utbildningsideologier

Metaphor variation across L1 and L2 speakers of English : Do differences at the level of linguistic metaphor matter?Johansson Falck, Marlene January 2012 (has links)
English and Swedish, which are both Germanic languages spoken in similar cultures in the Western World, display many similarities with regard to the conceptual metaphors reflected in them. However, the way that the same conceptual metaphor is linguistically instantiated in both languages may be somewhat different. This chapter is a corpus-based analysis of metaphorical ‘path’, ‘road’, and ‘way’ sentences in English produced by speakers with British English as their first language (L1) and Swedish university students with Englishas their second language (L2). The aim is to see how these L2 speakers of English deal with differences at the level of linguistic metaphor in the two languages, and find out how important this level of organization really is. / Embodiment of Motion Metaphors

Hur finskspråkiga uppfattar svenskans vokaler : en studie i kontrastiv fonetik med naturligt och syntetiskt tal / : Contrastive studies in the perception of the vowel sounds of Swedish by speakers of FinnishMäättä, Taisto January 1983 (has links)
The study involves tests on the perception by speakers of Finnish of vowel sounds in natural speech in four important varieties of standard Swedish and as produced by an OVE III synthesizer.The contrastive analysis takes the form of experiments to reveal the divisions of the vowel space in Swedish and Finnish. Perceptually optimal areas and the diffuse zones in the vowel space are contrasted. On the basis of these tests predictions are made concerning second language perceptual problems.The contrastive relations of the vowel sounds in Swedish and Finnish are further illuminated by perceptual tests to study the inherent tendency of speakers of Finnish to confuse certain Swedish vowels. The distribution of the phonemic reactions of speakers of Finnish not knowing Swedish are taken as material for an error analysis relevant to the time of starting to learn Swedish. A number of phonemically long vowel sounds were discovered to cause problems of identification for Finnish listeners. These are / y:/, /in:/, /e:/, / e :/, /#:/, and /o:/. A comparison of the predictions and actual confusions shows a high degree of correlation.Finnish vowel harmony was found to be a factor influencing the responses of Finns to Swedish vowels. The responses to combinations of vowels not complying with the vowel harmony rules contained an increased proportion of confusions leading to harmony-compatible or neutral vowels. Also the vowel qualities which were in an intermediate position in the vowel space in relation to the Finnish vowels tended to be influenced by assimilation or sequential contrast.The perceptual interference properties of the mother tongue in the perception of the vowel qualities as illuminated by the results of the perceptual test are discussed.Certain didactic conclusions are drawn concerning the problems experienced by speakers of Finnish in the identification and also the production of the Swedish vowels. Gestures of lip position and its contrastive perceptual effects are noted to be of especial importance in the learning of the vowel qualities of Swedish by Finns. / digitalisering@umu

The institutional aspects of competitive access in the Western Canadian rail systemCarlson, Leif Herbert 07 February 2005
Rail rates and system costs are important to the profitability of Western Canadian agriculture. This importance is due to the high cost of transporting grain to export position combined with rails cost advantage in relation to other modes of bulk transportation. World grain markets are competitive and any increase in freight rate caused by inefficiency or market power can not be passed on consumers. <p>This thesis introduces and discusses a way to create competition in the rail industry through vertical separation of rolling stock and track. The discussion is motivated by a transactions cost framework, whereby key features of a vertically integrated railway such as we have in Canada are contrasted with those of a vertically separated railway, as is the case today in Sweden. The two systems share common characteristics, but the way system participants interact are ultimately very different. <p>Canadas vertically integrated railway system creates strong incentives for infrastructure investment along with maintenance and congestion management, but a vertically integrated system discourages new competition in the industry. Conversely, the vertically separated Swedish system creates strong incentives for inter-rail competition and improvements in customer service. Canadas rail system is now less subsidized than ever, while the Swedish system still requires significant public outlay, and will need continued government support. <p>Due to its cost structure, the choice of regulation in the rail sector continues to be a trade-off between railway cost recovery and fair rates for shippers. As applied to Canada, the example of Sweden illustrates that a limited access regime in rail can operationally function and reduce market power concerns. An access regime can achieve this reduction by supporting contestable pricing that will limit the ability of railways to price discriminate.
