In the two years 1994 and 2013 the focus of the Swedish media in the school debate has been on segregation, freedom of choice, and support for weak students. In 2013 while the media was still united on the above issues the overall emphasis is on profitability. In 1994 the focus was more on weak students who in 2013 are considered unprofitable.The purpose of this essay is to study the Swedish media and their debate on Swedish schools and witch concepts related to "one school that fits all" in the year 1994 and also in 2013.We have analysed related articles and their concepts, norms, and values to see if there are any differences between their focus on the said issues in the two years.We have also studied the ideas and concepts that came under scrutiny and discussion in these two years, and shall investigate if there are differences in the debates conducted in 1994 and those conducted in 2013..

This study was a qualitative analysis of the covers of six lifestyle magazines, three addressed to women and three addressed to men. We have studied the cover photographs, the teasers and their relations. The purpose of this study was to answer the questions: According to the magazines, what are male interests and what are typical female interests? Who is the ideal man and who is the ideal woman? Is there a certain way you need to look to be able to be on a magazine cover? And how often do the magazines encourage you to consume? The study was based on thirty covers, five from each magazine. The Swedish magazines are VeckoRevyn, Amelia, Damernas Värld, King of Sweden, Café and the American version of GQ. We?ve used semiotics and rhetorical methods to analyze the material.

Imagery is an individual and cognitive process (Morris, Spittle, & Watt, 2005). This study has therefore qualitatively examined following objectives: (1) elite powerlifters imagery experiences and (2) if elite powerlifters use imagery deliberately. Five elite powerlifters participated in the study (3 men, 2 women), they were 21-37 years old (M = 27.6; SD = 6.1). The Individual Profile of Imagery Experiences in Sport (IPIES; Weibull, 2008b) was modified and used to meet the objectives for the study. Imagery was used by all elite powerlifters.

Rapporten beskriver ett examensarbete på 10 poäng som har genomförts av Moa Jantze, möbeldesignstuderande på Carl Malmsten Centrum för Träteknik och Design vid Linköpings Universitet. Rapporten består i huvudsak av två olika moment. Det första som beskriver skånska allmogemöbler och -textilier ur ett historiskt perspektiv och den andra som beskriver arbetet med att ta fram två produkter med inspiration ur allmogen. Projektets bakgrund är ett möbelprojekt som engagerat mig under hösten 2004, där jag tog fram en gungstol som presenterades i Malmstens monter på möbelmässan 2005. Gungstolen fick mycket uppmärksamhet både i svensk och internationell press och därmed väcktes ett större intresse för historien och mitt ursprung.

The Library of Uppsala University has decided to change their classification system from the Swedish SAB system to the American Dewey Decimal Classification. One of the main reasons for this decison was that Kungliga biblioteket also has made an exchange between these systems. Due to that, the national bibliography of Sweden classifies Swedish documents according to Dewey Decimal Classification and the SAB system is no longer maintained. A transition to Dewey Decimal Classification will enable Swedish librarians to import foreign catalouge posts and classification codes and will provide them with a common standard between their libraries and other libraries due to the use of the same international classification system. It is disputed whether the Dewey Decimal Classification is equally suitable for all subjects.

Med åldern ökar risken att insjukna i demenssjukdom. En ökad utmaning för vården är att identifiera smärta hos personer med demens. Smärta kan vara svårt att identifiera hos personer med demens eftersom dessa personer har svårare att uttrycka sig. Syftet i denna studie var att sammanställa befintlig kunskap om identifiering och bedömning av smärta hos personer med demens. Litteraturstudien var en integrerad kunskapsöversikt och genom en systematisk sökning valdes både kvantitativa och kvalitativa ut för att ingå i analysen.

I denna medievetenskapliga uppsats har vi riktat vår uppmärksamhet mot den svenska musikjournalistiken och utifrån ett genusperspektiv undersökt vilka kvinnobilder som manifesteras och hur dessa förändrats över tid. Anslaget har varit hermeneutiskt då vi valt att genomföra en komparativ kvalitativ innehållsanalys av de två musikmagasinen Pop och Sonic där tidsspannet varit nio år. Analysen har visat på en skev genusrepresentation där kvinnan marginaliseras från en manligt könad musikbransch och förvägras den manliga friheten då hon förpassas till den privata sfären. Även om kvinnan på senare år tillmätts ett större utrymme i musikmagasinen så uppvägs detta genom att hennes prestationer förringas i gestaltningen. Sammanfattningsvis har vi att göra med en androcentrisk musikjournalistik som reproducerar en hegemoni där mannen blir till norm och kvinnan får nöja sig med en närvaro där hennes framgång är beroende av mannen.Kvinnobilder i förändr.

Studiens syfte var att bedöma omvårdnadsbehov hos patienter som vårdas på en medicinsk vårdavdelning och hur dessa kan beskrivas med hjälp av omvårdnadsdiagnoser enligt North American Nursing Diagnosis Association [NANDA]. NANDA är en internationell sjuksköterskesammanslutning som har skapat ett system med standardiserade omvårdnadsdiagnoser vilka inte finns översatta till svenska. Alla diagnoser är underbyggda av forskning och delas i domäner och klasser. Omvårdnadsdiagnoserna identifieras hos patienten genom karaktäristiska kännetecken, relaterade faktorer och riskfaktorer. Studien var en deskriptiv, kvantitativ studie med empirisk metod och kvalitativ ansats, där 25 patienter deltog.

Hur förändrades de gestaltningar som används i svensk press om klimatfrågan efter FN:s klimatmöte i Köpenhamn i november 2009, en tid som omsusades av den så kallade Climategate-skandalen, jämfört med samma månad året innan och året efter? Gestaltningsteori är en teori som används primärt av forskare inom medie- och kommunikationsvetenskaperna för att studera hur människor förstår sin omgivning och samspelar med andra människor. Gestaltningar är ?tolkningsscheman? som individer använder för att tolka, förmedla och förstå budskap. Med kvalitativ textanalys metod har vi analyserat gestaltningar i journalistiska texter som handlar om klimatfrågan.
