Bakgrund: Fusioner är en viktig del i såväl hela ekonomins utveckling som branschers och företags utveckling. Intresset för fusioner är stort både bland konsulter, forskare och massmedia i form av radio/TV och affärspress. Samtalen eller diskursen kring fusioner som massmedia och särkilt affärspressjournalisterna för skulle kunna bidra till att påverka företag att handla på ett visst sätt. Viktigt är alltså att se till hur affärspressjournalisterna uttrycker sig samt vad som uttrycks om fusioner. Syfte: Syftet är att studera diskursen kring fusioner för att bidra till en bättre förståelse för fenomenet fusioner. Avgränsningar: Främst studeras artiklar som har hämtats från affärspress med fokus på de två senaste åren. Genomförande: Uppsatsen är en litteraturstudie vilket betyder att den grundar sig på böcker,  forskningsartiklar, dagstidningar och tidskrifter. Resultat: Affärspressjournalisterna tar stor hänsyn till vad forskare och även i viss mån vad företagsledareoch konsulter uttrycker. Fusioner tenderar att konstrueras redan i ”pratet” kring dem. Budskapet som försfram angående fusioner är mer positivt än negativt då tex. fler motiv till fusioner uttrycks än argument mot. / Background: Mergers and acquisitions are an important part of the whole economic  evelopment as well as industries and enterprises development. The interest in mergers and acquisitions is great both among consultants, scholars and press. The conversation or the discourse concerning mergers and acquisitions thatjournalists, especially them working with writing articles in press and journals, express could contribute toinfluence enterprises to act in a specific way. Therefore it is important to look into in what way thejournalists express themselves and also what they express about mergers and acquisitions. Purpose: The purpose is to study the discourse concerning mergers and acquisitions to contribute to a better understanding of the phenomenon mergers and acquisitions. Delimitations: Foremost are articles studied which are collected from press and journals with a focus on the last two years. Methodology: The thesis is based upon books, research papers, press and journals. Conclusions: The journalists take great notice about what scholars, executive managers and consultantsexpress. Mergers and acquisitions also tends to be constructed already in the ”talk” concerning them. Themessage about mergers and acquisitions is more positive than negative. An example of the latter is that moremotives for mergers and acquisitions are expressed than arguments against them.

This thesis concerns six Swedish history paintings from 1864 until 1897 with motifs depicting the Swedish renaissance. The purpose of the thesis is to examine the influence of 19th century fashion on the depiction of garments from the renaissance, and what this portrayal deflects concerning the artists contemporary vision of fashion and bodily ideals in the 16th century. Using a checklist method to approach the artworks the thesis examines how and to what extent the artists used visual culture from the 16th century in their visualization of the era and wether or not this portrayal is affected by the artists contemporary fashions. Interwined with the method is the theoretical framwork of the thesis, based upon the notion of fashion in art as a fabricated construct and history usage. The thesis presents the idea that the history painting depicting events spanning between a period of 70 years still uses a similar fashion in the works, even considering the time frame of different styles. The idea of gender coded garments and body siluetts during the 19th century heavily affects the fashion in the paintings, as well as the artist’s contemporary attitudes towards representations of sexuality and bodily beauty.
