The aim of this study was to investigate how the position of the preschool teacher could come across in interviews with six teachers about their assignment to document and evaluate the preschool activity. The research done so far in this area shows that it can be a complex and difficult part of the preschool teachers work. A dilemma often described is how the teachers can be able to analyze and document the children´s learning with the aim to evaluate and develop the preschool activity without judging and mapping the children. A special focus of the study was to see how the methods and dsicourses described by the teachers possibly could affect the teachers´s position in the area of documentation and evaluation. To analyze the empirical data Ernesto Laclau (1935-2014) & Chantal Mouffe´s discourse theory was used, a prespective witch also figured to be the theoretical foundation of the master thesis.

The aim of this Master's thesis is to examine the contemporary educational tasks of the Swedish public library as they manifest in Swedish library journals. Our main question at issue is: Which educational discourses are there? And in relation to our main question: how do the concepts of information literacy, lifelong learning and adult education relate to each other? Is there an Antagonism between the public library's duty to supply fiction as opposed to non-fiction? and: What are the consequences of these discourses in the service provided by the library?Our theoretical starting-point is the discourse theory as proposed by Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe. We analyse 39 texts from four Swedish library journals: Ikoner, bis, DIK-forum and Biblioteksbladet. The analysis is done in two phases.

Jag har här försökt göra en projektredogörelse med utgångspunkt i en socialkonstruktionistisk diskussion om genus i förhållande till ämnet slöjd. Syftet var att undersöka huruvida grundskolans gängse uppdelning mellan trä- och metallslöjd respektive textilslöjd har förutsättning att fungera som feministisk strategi. Undersökningen utfördes - medelst ett diskursteoretiskt angreppssätt ? genom litteraturstudier, elevintervjuer och praktisk-estetisk gestaltning. I denna undersökning fann jag tre teman, vilka blev grundbultarna i resonemanget.

Den opinionsbildande debattsidan Newsmill har anklagats i etablerad media för att vara en samlingsplats för högerradikala reaktionärer så väl som ett konkret hot mot demokratin. I huvudsak vilar anklagelserna på Newsmills funktion som en plats för medborgarjournalistiskt initiativ. Med de anklagelserna i åtanke var syftet med denna undersökning således att ta reda på huruvida denna medborgarjournalistik med tillhörande debattflora representerade ett offentligt rum för debatt där en deliberativ diskussion mellan jämlikar kunde äga rum, eller om kritiken är befogad. Utifrån temat integration ville vi sedermera ta reda på om diskussionen har ändrat karaktär över tid, mellan 2009 och 2012. Vi har därför utfört en kvantitativ analys för att i grova drag avgöra hur debatten på kommentarsfälten ser ut.

Syfte: Studiens övergripande syfte är att synliggöra vilka diskurser som framträder i en fokusgrupps tal om särskilt stöd i förskolan. Mer preciserat ämnar studien att undersöka om någon av resultatets diskurser innehar hegemoni samt vilka sociala konsekvenser diskurserna kan tänkas få för barnet i förskolan. Teori: Den teoretiska utgångspunkt som studien vilar på är socialkonstruktionism och studien har inspirerats av en diskursiv ansats. Socialkonstruktionistiska perspektiv har en kritisk inställning till kunskap som ses som självklar och menar att människan konstruerar, upprätthåller och förändrar sin uppfattning om världen tillsammans med andra. Vidare för detta perspektiv fram att människans världsuppfattning påverkar hennes handlingar och därmed får den kunskap vi har om världen sociala konsekvenser.

Aquatic organisms are usually not exposed to single substances but rather to mixtures of toxicants in streams located in agricultural areas. The transport of pesticides used in the agricultural area in Sweden is monitored with continuous environmental supervision every year. During 2002-2008 an average of 10 pesticides were found in each sample and 40% of the samples contained substances with concentrations higher than the Water Quality Standards. Chemical risk management is normally based on single-test evaluations. A problem when assessing mixture toxicities is that the constituents and concentrations of pollutants in the environment vary greatly.

This is a case study which investigated the perceived consequences of the organizational change that was implemented in January 2013 at Karlstad University. The study aimed to explore the experiences of the employees concerning the changes in organizational structure and internal communication. This was done through a set of eight individual standardized qualitative interviews with members from different departments. A lot of effort and thought was given to the ethical implications and to create a comfortable and open climate during the actual interviews to ensure that the respondents felt free to speak openly and honestly about their personal opinions and experiences.It is evident that the overall vision was ambitious; aiming to create a more effective organization through cutting off excessive administrative personnel and streamlining decision paths. However according to the opinions of the respondents it was clear that the result was far from the desired goal.
