Svensk hiphop är en växande genre som kan tolkas ha koppling till socialt utsatta ytterstadsområden. Syftet med föreliggande arbete är att kartlägga och analysera innehållet i utvalda svenska hiphoplåtar. I studien analyserades svenska hiphoptexter i form av två delstudier. Den första bestod av en översikt av 100 hiphoplåtar för att kartlägga olika temans förekomst, och den andra delstudien var en fördjupad analys av tio låtar. Empirin analyserades med stöd av tidigare forskning och begreppen territoriell stigmatisering, machokultur och varumärkesbyggande. Resultatet från studien visar att det finns drag av territoriell stigmatisering och machokultur i låtarna, likväl som ett varumärkesbyggande gällande förorten. Studien skulle kunna förstås ge viss inblick i de tematiska drag som återfinns inom svensk hiphop. Diskussion fördes bland annat kring vilka möjliga konsekvenser hiphoptexter kan ha för de unga män som lyssnar på denna typ av musik. / Swedish hip hop is a growing genre that can be understood to be connected with socially stigmatized areas. The purpose of this work is to map out and analyze the content of chosen Swedish hip hop songs. In the study Swedish hip hop lyrics were analyzed in two parts. The first one was an outline of 100 hip hop songs in order to map out the occurrence of different themes, and the second one was an in-depth analysis of ten songs. The material were analyzed with help of previous research and the theoretical concepts territorial stigmatization, macho culture and branding. The result of the study shows that there’s aspects of territorial stigmatization and macho culture within the songs, as well as branding regarding the Projects. The study can be understood to give some insight through the thematic features that can be found within Swedish hip hop. Among other things the possible consequences for the young men listening to this type of music were discussed.

For this we evaluate the theoretical beddings and concepts of the models of management maturity and analyze the application of a model in a non-profit organization of the area of projects management. The bibliographical revision, divides in two parts, introduced the beddings of the projects management and in the second part the beddings of project management maturity. The methodology of research adopted in this dissertation was the application of OPM3 (Organizational Project Management Maturity Model), of PMI (Project Management Institute), in an organization and its analysis. The application of the model was carried through in the directions of the company (vice-presidency, studies technician, administrative, support to the associate, financier and events) and presents in detail the application of the model in the administrative direction. As instrument of collection of data we carry through interviews with the directors of the company and fulfilling of the questionnaire of the tool of the OPM3 Self-Assessment for execution of the evaluation. For analysis of data we also use the tool that after fulfilling of the questions produced a vision in high level or executive - including the list of Better Practical that currently they exist in the organization, and those that do not exist in relation to the Standard Model. The list of Better Practical that they do not exist currently in the organization was referenced as Target Best Practices . The program also generated four graphs, established in the answers: 1) the organization s overall position on a continuum of organizational project management maturity, 2) the organization s maturity in terms of each domain, 3) the organization s maturity in terms of each process improvement stage, and 4) a composed view of graphs 2 and 3. The conclusion showed that projects management maturity is a strategical differential and will be reached with strategical planning directed toward management of projects in the organizations / A maturidade em gerenciamento de projetos está ligada à habilidade de uma organização em gerenciar seus projetos. Esta dissertação tem como objetivo mostrar um caminho para as organizações alcançarem maturidade em gerenciamento de projetos como diferencial estratégico. Para isso avaliamos os fundamentos teóricos e conceitos dos modelos de maturidade de gestão e analisamos a aplicação de um modelo em uma organização sem fins lucrativos da área de gerenciamento de projetos. A revisão bibliográfica, divida em duas partes, introduziu os fundamentos do gerenciamento de projetos e na segunda parte os fundamentos de maturidade em gerenciamento de projetos. A metodologia de pesquisa adotada nesta dissertação foi a aplicação do OPM3 (Organizational Project Management Maturity Model), do PMI (Project Management Institute), em uma organização e sua análise. A aplicação do modelo foi realizada nas diretorias da empresa (vice-presidência, estudos técnicos, administrativa, apoio ao associado, financeira e eventos) e apresentamos em detalhe a aplicação do modelo na diretoria administrativa. Como instrumento de coleta de dados realizamos entrevistas com os diretores da empresa e preenchimento do questionário da ferramenta do OPM3 Self-Assessment para execução da avaliação. Para análise de dados utilizamos também a ferramenta que após preenchimento das questões produziu uma visão em alto nível ou executiva - incluindo a lista de Melhores Práticas que correntemente existem na organização, e aquelas que não existem em relação ao Modelo Padrão. A lista de Melhores Práticas que não existem atualmente na organização foi referenciada como Melhores Práticas Alvo . O programa também gerou quatro gráficos, baseados nas respostas: 1) Posição como um todo da organização em uma série contínua da maturidade de gerenciamento de projeto organizacional, 2) a maturidade da organização em termos de cada domínio, 3) a maturidade da organização em termos de cada estágio de melhoria, e 4) uma visão composta dos gráficos 2 e 3. A conclusão mostrou que maturidade no gerenciamento de projetos é um diferencial estratégico e será alcançada com planejamento estratégico voltado para gerenciamento de projetos nas organizações

Thesis (M.Dev.) --University of Limpopo, 2018 / The aim of this study is to investigate and assess the effectiveness of Greater Tzaneen Municipality in implementing LED strategies in rural communities. Although the concept of Local Economic Development has been studied and widely debated in South Africa, the present study intends to determine the extent to which the implementation of LED strategy by Greater Tzaneen Municipality contributes towards improving the livelihood of communities for sustainable local economic development. In other words, the study purports to develop a more holistic understanding of the dynamics of local economic development efforts. This is a mixed method study in which elements of qualitative and quantitative approaches to collect, analyze, validate and interpret data were used. Quantitative design was used to profile respondents and do some statistical analysis of the population. The quantitative design used was in the form of a semi-structured survey questionnaire to acquire statistical data. Since the study is heterogeneous, stratified random sampling was used for the quantitative design whereby ward councillors, ward committees, project leaders and community stakeholders (n= 60) participated. For the qualitative aspect of the study face-to-face interviews schedule was used in order to construct the reality from the interviewees‟ world and to gain more in-depth dynamics and complexities by virtue of being the more natural form of interaction with respondents. Key municipal officials directly involved in LED and those who have more knowledge and information concerning LED implementation were identified by means of purposive sampling technique (n=10). The findings revealed that even though Greater Tzaneen Municipality on average is on the implementation side, there are some factors that hinder it from achieving the 100% LED strategy implementation. Even though policies are in place, it appears like LED strategies have produced very few success stories for various reasons country wide which among others includes lack of capacity within municipalities, financial constraints and poor and incorrect implementation. The other challenge is that communities regard LED as employment creation by municipalities and should not be viewed only as creating economic benefits, but as playing a vital role in poverty alleviation and therefore should have a strong social focus. As per the constitutional mandate Section 152 (1), (2) and Section 153 LED should be an integral part in the planning activities of municipalities across departments and not be afterthought. The process should clearly reflect participation by all wards and their respective communities, local economic growth, poverty alleviation and job creation as well as prioritizing human development initiatives.

Thesis (MBA.) -- University of Limpopo, 2015 / Rural communities in South Africa, including Makhuduthamaga Local Municipality, experience mobility problems in order to access facilities like hospitals, police stations, schools and shopping centres. This research study attempted to identify factors that affect effective implementation of community road infrastructure projects under the jurisdiction of Makhuduthamaga Local Municipal Council. The study was qualitative in nature wherein municipal officials directly involved in provision and maintenance of road infrastructure in the municipality, ward councillors and a consultant were interviewed. The study wanted to understand how councillors, officials and consultant observe service delivery in terms of road infrastructure in the area. The respondents indicated that the project management unit is trying very hard to ensure that service provision is spread adequately but the challenges experienced hamper effective service delivery. The identified challenges include: interference, including political interference of some stakeholders, service providers who are not experienced enough, inadequate finances and supply chain systems and policies which seem to be ill-defined and/or not implemented properly. There is a need for the government to invest more in infrastructure, specifically roads. It was proven from the findings of this study that the government still has to do more in providing quality roads in rural areas. The municipality should prioritise financial allocation or provision for road infrastructure in their budget to help in the stimulation of the burden experienced by everyone in this regard. The study recommends that the Project management unit needs to adhere to policy and contracts that bind service providers. There should be training of officials and service providers to improve the quality and effectiveness of the services rendered.

Thesis (M.Dev. (Management and Law)) -- University of Limpopo, 2012 / This study investigates the impact of community development projects (CDPs) on the empowerment of women in the Malamulele area of the Thulamela Municipality in Limpopo Province. The study investigates whether the implementation of CDPs really changes the living conditions of women or whether it is merely a smokescreen to cover the failure of the government to provide decent jobs for people who are living in absolute poverty. The aim of the study, however, is to assess the impact that CDPs have on women empowerment. The objectives of the study that were derived from the main aim include identifying the types of projects, and their impact on women and men. The findings of the study would contribute to social science knowledge and would also help to develop new strategies that could be used to solve problems of poverty. Both qualitative and quantitative research methods were used in this study. The population of the study were projects in which both women and men were involved. However, more women were selected from sampled projects because the aim of the study was to investigate the impact of CDPs on women. Stratified random sampling was used to select respondents in order to ensure that all strata were represented in the sample. The findings of the study suggest that CDPs improve decision-making capacity, the acquisition of assets and skills, and create job opportunities for women. It is, therefore, recommended that development planners consider increased funding in order to implement more projects in the area as these are the tools through which women in rural communities can eradicate poverty.

Thesis (M.Dev.) -- University of Limpopo, 2012 / The study focused on the Local Economic Development (LED) challenges facing the local government in Limpopo Province. The specific study area was Motumo Trading Post located in Molemole Local Municipality. Molemole Local Municipality is one of the five municipalities in the Capricorn District Municipality. The study was qualitative in nature and included some elements of quantitative research in the form of numbers, graphs and tables and concentrated on the functionality of the Motumo Trading Post project. The respondents in this study were the community members of Matoks (known as Botlokwa in Sepedi), the Councillors of Molemole Municipality, managers of both Molemole local Municipality and Capricorn District Municipality, the traditional leaders and mayors of Molemole Local Municipality and Capricorn District Municipality. The study indicates that the local government, through municipalities is faced with challenges of bringing about economic growth to the poor people, especially in rural areas, through local economic development projects. The findings in this study indicate that Motumo Trading Post, which is a government initiative to improve the standard of living of Matoks community, has had no impact since its completion. The community of Matoks did not benefit from the project and the plans by the municipalities were not realised. The study also shows that not enough was done to involve the stakeholders in the planning and development of the project.
