Studien har som ambition att studera hur tjejer skapar femininitet och således tar plats på en ungdomsgård belägen i en multietnisk stadsdel i Stockholm. Studiens metod består av deltagande observation av en grupp på åtta tjejer som besökte ungdomsgården dagligen. Resultatet indelas i tre teman, Systerskap, Ungdomsgården är hemma och Femininitetskapande som beskriver tjejernas relationer till varandra, andra ungdomar på- och utanför ungdomsgården samt bostadsområdet, men även förhållandet till svenskhet. Resultatet analyserades med teorier rörande genus, etnicitet, postkolonial feminism och praktikgemenskap. Det framkom att tjejerna formade en gemenskap som de upprätthöll med outtalade regler rörande femininitet, etnicitet och sexualitet. Studiens slutsatser är att ungdomsgården framställdes som en betydelsefull plats då den utgjorde en fristad för tjejerna, där de försökte undkomma de olika regler som omfattade dem och deras liv.

Economic abuse does not always appear in the context of domestic abuse,there are other forms of abuse that are more mentioned in politics and inmedia, for example physical and psychological abuse. Previous researchshows that economic violence is often linked to psychological and physicalviolence and that it is mainly women who are overrepresented in terms ofvulnerability to violence. The consequences of economic violence have provento be many and big, in some terms even life-long for the women who havebeen exposed to the violence.The purpose of the study is to gain an increased understanding of socialworkers' experiences in working with women who have been exposed toeconomic violence by men they have a relationship with, as well as the socialand economic consequences the exposed women are left with. The theoriesused in the study are Yvonne Hirdman's theory of gender, as well as Goffman'stheory of stigmatization and social exclusion.Eight interviews of social workers have been conducted to get a picture ofwhat consequences women who are exposed to economic violence have andwhat obstacles and opportunities the social workers see in their work withwomen exposed to violence. The results show that men's economic violenceagainst women has major consequences for women's lives. The results alsoshow that social workers see both obstacles and opportunities in their work tohelp women exposed to economic violence.

Bakgrund och problemdiskussion: Prissättningen av revisionsarvodet är komplext och kan påverkas av faktorer såsom klientens storlek och risk eller vilken revisionsbyrå som har anlitats. Tidigare forskning har visat att könsskillnader bland revisorer kan påverka revisionsarvodets storlek, där kvinnliga revisorer kan associeras med högre arvoden på grund av bland annat deras egenskaper, personlighetsdrag alternativt externa krav på mångfald från klienternas sida. Det finns en föreställning om att Sverige är mer jämställt jämfört med andra länder i Europa. Trots detta tyder forskning på att andra länder, som inte har ett lika högt jämställdhetsindex, har kommit längre gällande jämställdhet inom revisionsbranschen. Frågan som kan ställas är: påverkar den kvinnliga påskrivande revisorn revisionsarvodets storlek i Sverige och finns det således en kvinnlig premie på revisionsarvodet? Syfte: Syftet med studien är att förklara den kvinnliga påskrivande revisorns eventuella effekt på revisionsarvodet, i svenska börsnoterade bolag. Metod: Denna studie utgår från en deduktiv forskningsansats där tidigare forskning om revisionsarvodet samt befintlig teori om genus har legat till grund för studiens teoretiska referensram. Den teoretiska referensramen har sedan använts för att skapa en teoretisk modell, där förväntade samband om kvinnans direkta och indirekta samt bestämningsfaktorernas påverkan på revisionsarvodet presenteras. Denna teoretiska modell har sedan testats genom en kvantitativ forskningsmetod med empiriska data från svenska börsnoterade bolag. Datainsamlingen kommer från databaser såsom Datastream, Holdings, Business Retriever men även årsredovisningar, med fokus på år 2022. Slutsats: Det kan konstateras att den ojämna fördelningen, mellan kvinnliga och manliga påskrivande börsbolagsrevisorer, fortsatt består i Sverige. Trots detta finner vi inga signifikanta samband för kvinnans direkta och indirekta påverkan på revisionsarvodet. Med andra ord kan det konstateras att det inte finns någon skillnad i revisionsarvode mellan kvinnor och män och således existerar det ingen kvinnlig revisionspremie i Sverige. Däremot finner denna studie flertalet betydelsefulla samband mellan bestämningsfaktorerna och revisionsarvodet. Detta bekräftar att tidigare forskning om dessa bestämningsfaktorer till viss del även gäller i den svenska kontexten. / Background and problem: The pricing of audit fees is complex and can be influenced by factors such as client size and risk, or the choice of audit firm. Previous research has indicated that gender differences among auditors can impact the size of audit fees, where female auditors are associated with higher fees due to their attributes, personality traits, or external demands for diversity from clients. There is a perception that Sweden is more gender-equal compared to other European countries. However, research suggests that other countries, with lower gender equality indices, have made more progress in gender equality within the audit industry. The question that arises is: does the qualified female auditor affect the size of audit fees in Sweden, and thus, is there a female premium on audit fees? Purpose: The purpose of the study is to explain the potential effect of the qualified female auditor on the audit fee, in Swedish listed companies. Method: This study is based on a deductive research approach where previous research on audit fees and existing gender theory forms the theoretical framework of the study. The theoretical framework is then utilized to construct a theoretical model, presenting expected relations regarding the direct and indirect influence of women and determinant factors on audit fees. This theoretical model is subsequently tested using a quantitative research method with empirical data from Swedish listed companies. Data collection is sourced from databases such as Datastream, Holdings, Business Retriever, as well as annual reports, focusing on the year 2022. Conclusion: It can be noted that the uneven distribution, between female and male qualified auditors in listed companies, persists in Sweden. Despite this, we find no significant correlations for the direct and indirect influence of women on audit fees. In other words, it can be concluded that there is no difference in audit fees between women and men, and thus, there is no female audit premium in Sweden. However, this study finds several significant correlations between determinant factors and audit fees. This confirms that previous research on these determinant factors applies, to some extent, in the Swedish context.

The current paper is a study of the male characters Simon and Jace from Cassandra Clare's City of Bones (2010), and the characters Tamlin and Rhysand from Sarah J. Maas’ A Court of Thorns and Roses (2015). The main aim is to examine whether the characters in these fantasy novels for young adults have traits and functions that previously have been used to describe and portray female characters. The study discovered among other things that vulnerability and sensitivity could be found in all the characters, especially when danger was upon them or their loved ones. Simon was also the only character that was not portrayed with skills in combat, which was mocked by the other male characters but not by the female protagonist. The two male characters in A Court of Thorns and Roses were also portraited as sexual objects in the novel, and Rhysand was exposed to sexual abuse by the novel’s antagonist, which can be seen as stereotypical female trait. The male character’s function in the novels was to have a folie function to each other, and be a love interest, a confidant, and a choir to the female protagonist. The male characters in the novels were also the ones who needed to be rescued by the female characters, and thereby found themselves in a female position.
