En studie av motiveringarna till rättshjälpslagen.

This essay investigates the statements of Växjö municipality’s motives for some of its many environmental projects. The aim of the essay is to be theory-testing as to see how a municipality/city which promotes itself as being “green” motivates its efforts in the environmental area. Växjö city promotes itself as “The greenest city in Europe”, an award appointed to the city by BBC and other international media. Statements of motives found within official protocols and documents as well as given in own conducted interviews are analyzed by means of an idea analysis with ideal-types based on two theoretical points; historical institutionalism and rational choice. Conclusions are made concerning Växjö’s statements of motives and how they vary depending on whether they are found in documents or spoken by municipality representatives.

Goodwill has been a controversial matter both in question of definition and whether it should be handled with impairments or not. This study does not aim to examine its definition, but to examine how Swedish companies motivate their goodwill impairments. This study is based on the article written by Sandell and Svensson in which they classified companies' motivations for goodwill impairments according to seven categories: Excuse, Concession, Mystification, Justification, Wordification, Silence and Refocusing. The research of this study is based on these categories. Our research question “how do Swedish listed companies motivate their goodwill impairments?” is answered by a qualitative content analysis where we study the notes in the annual reports about goodwill. Our results indicate a change, since one category could not be identified at all, while others have been used more frequently.

The purpose of this study is to investigate and compare which municipal support the free music life receives in Karlstad and Varberg as well as which strategies and values the support rests on. The study also examines how the free music life experiences its own situation and task and how the free music life interacts with other musical actors and is influenced by the size of the municipality. In order to investigate the material and analyze the municipalities´ distribution of grants and motivations, idea analysis is used with the help of ideal types, which consist of Skot-Hansens rationalities. In the study´s results, a characterization of the music life in Karlstad and Varberg is done with the help of Per Mangsets cultural system and an account of the municipalities´ distribution of grants and motivations for the free music life. The interviews with the municipalities as well as representatives from the free music life are also presented here. The study concludes that the support for the free music life in the municipalities of Karlstad and Varberg differs, both in terms of the size of the support, how the support is distributed and in terms of forms of grant. The study also notes that the municipalities justify the free music life similar and relates to Skot-Hansens all rationalities and that the free music life experiences thier task differently.

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka vad publiken känner när de ser på tv-serier och vad som motiverar publiken till att följa dem. Tillgången till tv-serier har ökat under de senaste åren på grund av internets utveckling och i takt med detta har också konsumtionen ökat. För att undersöka vad publiken har för känslor för de tv-serier de följer har kvalitativa intervjuer utförts med fem informanter som flitigt ser på tv-serier. Materialet har analyserats utifrån teorier om reception av film- och tv-tittande. Resultatet visade på att tv-serier får publiken att känna en samhörighet, eller en vänskap, till karaktärerna i sina tv-serier, det får dem att reflektera över sin tillvaro, fly verkligheten och samtidigt får tv-serier publiken att må bra. Dessa resultat kan vara motiv till varför publiken fortsätter att se på tv-serier, avsnitt efter avsnitt.

I Sverige kan man se en nedåtgående trend när det gäller alkoholkonsumtion bland ungdomar. Denna studie utforskar ungdomars attityder till alkohol och vilka faktorer som kan påverka ungdomars alkoholkonsumtion utifrån socialpsykologiska teorier och ett genusperspektiv. Avsikten var att undersöka om det fanns skillnader och likheter mellan könen. Uppsatsen är en kvalitativ studie och urvalet bestod av tio respondenter mellan 15 - 20 år bosatta i Sverige. Det vi kom fram till var att det fanns skillnader i attityder till alkohol mellan könen, men att faktorerna som framkom var lika för båda könen. Det fanns små variationer mellan motiven bland de som konsumerade alkohol och de som inte konsumerade alkohol. Däremot var motiveringarna lika oavsett kön bland dem som drack alkohol. Hos de drickande respondenterna var motiveringarna lika oavsett kön. Studien baseras på Theory of planned behaviour, social påverkan, social tuning och referens till genussystemet för att nå en djupare förståelse för ungdomars förhållningssätt till alkohol. / Currently there is a downward trend considering alcohol consumption among young people in Sweden. This study explores attitudes towards alcohol and the factors that can affect alcohol consumption among young people. This is a qualitative study based on social psychological theories from a gender perspective and includes research models for the Theory of planned behavior, Social Influence and Social tuning. In this study a broadened perspective and a deeper understanding of the youth drinking culture are analysed. The investigation includes interviews with ten Swedish students between the ages of 15 and 20. The result shows that there are differences in attitudes to consume alcohol due to gender differences, but that the factors that emerged were the same for both genders. There were small variations in motivations among non-drinking respondents and the main differences could be found among non-drinkers and drinkers. Among respondents who had a positive attitude towards alcohol consumption, the motivation was the same independent of gender.
