<p>Zakrisdal and the west coast region of Karlstad was at one time a protected area where the ammunition factory AmF Zakrisdal 1941-1994 was situated. This factory manufactured explosives for the Swedish armed forces and for export. In this context it is an interesting paradox that the production of ammunition, mines and armorpiercing grenades for more than 50 years has preserved the environment surrounding the factory.The factory is now gone and the production is moved to Karlskoga. Plans are being made to build housing for 3-4000 residents and other enterprises within the area. The area now stands before yet another change, most likely the most profound to date.The inspiration for this work comes from the economic historic Jan Jörnmark.

In his academic work he has studied the process of creative destruction as formulated by the national economist Joseph Schumpeter and the effect of that process to Swedish Base Industries. The process of creative destruction describes how the introduction of new technology and new products destroy the old system of production in an ongoing process of revolutions. The entrepreneur is in this process the instigator “The agent of change”.The purpose of this essay is to investigate how a limited geographical area and the environment in its vicinity are affected by political, economic, demographic and ideological change.

During the 1920’s the town of Bollnäs had the ambition to expand. The expansion included a merger with Björkhamre and the colonization of unused areas, e.g. the area around Onbacken. The archaeologist Gustaf Hallström came to Bollnäs to investigate an ancient tomb located on Onbacken. During his investigation he found an ancient monument, one of its kind in Bollnäs and Sweden. Hallström believed it was a remnant of a temple dating from the time of the Vikings/ the Middle Ages. The local press wrote about the excavation and the articles shows that many of the locals attended the lectures held by Hallström during that time. There was some interest among the locals, as this was a time when nationalism was strong and it made a significant impact on Sweden's identity. It was also a time when Archaeology gained foothold as one of the fundamental parts of investigating and writing about history. The unique excavation finding of the temple gave Bollnäs a golden opportunity to create a local identity and make the town known nationwide. This essay will show that the local inhabitants didn't utilize the finding. That they didn't use it as a part of the creation of the local identity. There are several reasons to why this occurred, for instance, the findings where never questioned as the excavation was seen as an elite project. The extent of the excavation and the temple’s significance was above the locals’ understanding. The locals’ main focus during that time was aimed towards other interests. This essay is about a finding that should have been a part of the local identity, but wasn't.

Although anti-Semitism is a fact of Arab life, most individuals prefer to describe it as political animosity and religious polemic. This explains why my study has only drawn from works on the subject by Western historians – because no Arab historian has even acknowledged that it exists, let alone written about it. In this study I compare and analyze the different views my sources have on some matters related to the subject of Jew-hatred among Arabs; these are Zionism, the origins of Arab nationalism, the legendary age of tolerance in Al-andalus (Muslim Spain) and the treatment of Jews in the Quran. In most of my sources I find that: For Arabs, Zionism and Jewishness are one and the same thing. The influence of Nazi ideals and prejudices on Arab nationalism and the paranoid attitudes of the region’s leaders effectively stymie any chances of reconciliation between the two peoples.  Historical evidences show that the much-praised racial harmony of Al-andalus has been exaggerated for political purposes. The negative image of Jews in the Quran has been deliberately misinterpreted in order to keep hatred of Jews alive among Arabs today. To see just how effective anti-Semitic indoctrination has been on reasonable, educated people, I sent a simple question to my Arab friends around the world asking them to say what they really think of Jews, hoping to get some candid answers.  But to my great disappointment, not one of them replied.

<p>Mitt utgangspunkt i arbeidet for å komme frem til en helhetlig forklaring, er at det er en grunnleggende sammenheng mellom oppbyggingen av RAF i mellomkrigstiden og den form krigen siden kom til å få. Ut av fra denne sammenhengen springer følgende spørsmål: Hvorfor fikk den britiske opprustningen den form den gjorde på 1930-tallet? Jeg vil vise hvor troen på bombeflyet kom fra, jeg vil videre diskutere hvilke strukturer ble valgt, og besvare spørsmålet om hva som var hensikten med disse strukturene, både politisk og militært. Etter slik å ha behandlet motiv og handling kan resultatet av handlingen beskrives: hva kunne "nye RAF" brukes til?</p>
