The purpose of this thesis is to examine the narrative elements in three of the Swedish artist Karin Mamma Anderssons paintings and try to see what kind of stories that might be hidden in these paintings. I have chosen three different themes as tools for this study. They are: the meaning or the importance of the titles, painting as a medium and the narrative elements or components in the paintings. Furthermore I also use the semiotic method in my analysis based on the ideas of Roland Barthes combined with a feminist theoretical standpoint with a gender perspective. This means my study is based on the reception of these images and what kind of message they might carry.

The aim of this Master?s thesis is to investigate and increase the understanding of Swedish Public Library Websites and to determinate which activity they mediate. To analyse the Public Library Websites Andersson and Skot-Hansen?s model of roles for the Public Library has been used. This model in¬cludes four roles for the library: the library as a cultural centre, a knowledge centre, as an information centre and as a social centre.

Syftet med denna rapport är att ta reda på hur vuxna män går tillväga för att inleda en kontakt med ett barn eller en ungdom i sexuellt syfte på Internet samt att ta reda på vad svensk polis kan göra åt detta. I teorikapitlet tar vi upp två teorier som kan förklara varför en person vill begå ett sexuellt övergrepp på ett barn och där vi även förklarar vad en pedofil är. Vårat resultat visar att det är barn och ungdomar i varierande ålder som blir utsatta för grooming, främst av äldre män. Det vanligaste tillvägagångssättet är att kontakta barnen via olika communitys för att skapa en god relation för att sedan få till en träff i verkliga livet. Två av intervjupersonerna vi talat med jobbar på varsin polismyndighet, en i Västerbottens län och en annan i Västernorrlands län.

The aim of the study is to show how children and adults are described in three picture books, examining how children and adults are portrayed in text-and-picture narrative and how this has changed over time. We have analysed how the characters in the books are presented and how the representation of children and adults has changed in our own times.The material for the study consists of three picture books from different periods, with the focus on how children and adults are described as the common point of departure. The analysed picture books are: Tomtebobarnen (Beskow 1919), Aja baja, Alfons Åberg! (Bergström 1972) and Snäll (Dahle 2008).We have arrived at the conclusion that a text-and-picture narrative is in very large measure a reflection of the outlook on children, childhood and child rearing at the time when the book was published. The result shows that the greatest change that has happened is that parents? and adults? dominance in the books has declined over the years, and that children have been given a more prominent role.

I uppsaten analyseras skrävlets narrativa och ideologiska implikationer i enlighet med det Jameson kallar social symbolhandling i Dan Anderssons Amerika-skildring Chi-mo-ka-ma från 1920. Här noteras textens antitetiska relation till den billiga läsning som den vanligtvis vänsterradikale Andersson beskrev boken som i brev till Bonniers, liksom till populära eller reifierade genremarkörer och den ideologi som denna konsumtionskultur är ett uttryck för. Den paradoxala narration som därmed uppstår, främst i bilden av indianerna, kan även tolkas som de textuella följderna av en reell subtext, som, tillsammans med underklassens villkor, kan betraktas som en politiskt undermedveten nivå av realism. Då skrävlets ideologem glider mellan att förvränga verkligheten till sin motsats och mimetisk upplösning i ren verklighetsflykt kan vår förståelse hur detta fungerar inte användas som en säker tolkningskod för att avtäcka den subversiva nivån i en allegorisk läsning. Boken blir därmed ambivalent mellan anti-mimetisk modernism, populism och en indirekt antydd subversiv realism.

Examensarbetet En skola för alla? Hur pedagoger arbetar med de ?snabba? eleverna i svenska är skrivet av Anna Andersson och Lotta Andersson. De elever som har varit snabba inom skolämnen har enligt tidigare forskning inte varit en prioriterad grupp inom den svenska skolan. Enligt tidigare forskning har dessa elever inte fått någon stimulerande undervisning på deras rätta nivå. Syftet med denna undersökning var att belysa hur pedagoger inom årskurs F-3 arbetar med de elever som är snabba inom svenskämnet och hur dessa elever blir stimulerade och motiverade under sin skolgång.

Lärobokens roll i geografiundervisningen är av betydande karaktär och styrdokumenten menar att kunskap ska förmedlas utefter en variation av teorier. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur instuderingsuppgifterna i två läroböcker i geografi på gymnasiet förhåller sig till de tre lärodimensionerna, behaviorism, kognitivism och konstruktivism. Problempreciseringarna för uppsatsen är:- Hur förhåller sig de två läroböckernas instuderingsuppgifter till behaviorism, kognitivism och konstruktivism?- Hur förhåller sig uppgifterna i de två läroböckerna till varandra vid en jämförelse i användningen av teorierna?Läroböckerna vilka granskas är de två läromedelsserier vilka finns tillhanda dags datum för gymnasiet i geografi. Läroböckerna är Geo-guiden av Torsten Persson, Tord Porsne, Göran Andersson och Bo Andersson från år 2000 och Geografi- människan, resurserna och miljön av Peter Östman, Olof Barrefors och Kalju Luksepp från 2002.

Background: The Swedish Police authorities have accomplished several changes the last years. We have studied one of these changes, the co-ordination of two supporting functions, economy and staffadministration at the Police authorities in Östergötland, Jönköping, Södermanland and SKL (Swedish crime technical laboratory). The initiative to this change was taken in 2002 and in 2003 a decision was made to create a joint servicecenter.Purpose: The purpose of this rapport is, in a collaborator perspective, to study the employees´ experiences of the change process.Method: The empirical material was collected throw interviews with the employees who have taken part in the change process. Even the leader of the project has been interviewed.Results: We have distinguished five central aspects in the change process. These are information/communication and understanding, the project leader, teamwork, timeaspect/reflexion and the leadership.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine how the public libraries work towards SFI (Swedish For Immigrants) based on the views of the overseeing librarians. To study this we have asked the following research questions:What distinguishes the public libraries? work towards SFI according to the responsible librarians? What distinguishes the communication between SFI teachers and the librarians according to the responsible librarians? What opinions are held by the librarians in regards to their work with SFI?We have used a semi structured interview method with seven librarians in charge of the activities with SFI at small and medium sized public libraries in a rural area of Sweden. The theoretical framework is composed of Marianne Andersson and Dorte Skot-Hansen?s model for analysis of the local public library profile and the authors? definition of collaboration.

Syftena med denna uppsats har varit flera. Dels att genomföra en undersökande genrediskussion av svensk chick-lit i stort där det som uppfattats som den huvudsakliga kritiken av genren omformulerats till frågeställningar. Huvudfrågan har därmed varit att ta reda på om svensk chick-lit är intressant, men också om den har några litterära kvaliteter och om den är en feministisk backlash. I uppsatsen arbetas även en definition av svensk chick-lit fram, samt empiriskt grundad teori ur materialet. Avsikten är att detta arbete ska kunna verka som förebild för andra utredningar av nya och marginaliserade genrer.

This thesis aims to develop a control system for measuring electromagnetic compability (EMC). This has meant that a controller designed around an ATmega8 microcontroller has been manufactured and programmed. It has also meant the development of a comprehensive control software in the program MATLAB. The control system has been tested with satisfactory results and can now, monitor and control measurements of the EMC-type..

ABSTRACT The potato has had an important role in the Swedish dietary customs for quite some time. However, during the last forty years, consumption has decreased from 87 kg/year and person to 46 kg/year and person. Other products such as pasta, rice and bulgur are competing with the potato. Many of the competitors have been developed and refined while the potato has not changed much. The potato is still a bulk product while competing products have been differentiated. Stakeholders within the potato market has realized that something has to be done and today there are a number of organizations and networks that all actively work to preserve the Swedish agriculture and specifically the potato as a product. The purpose with this essay is to examine how store managers in the Swedish grocery stores view the handling of the potato in the store, the quality and packaging, marketing and future consumption.
