AbstraktJag har gjort en textanalys av fem böcker skrivna av författare och forskare där det gemensamma ämnet för litteraturen är Guds existens. Böckerna är Richard Dawkins Livet flod, Richard Dawkins Illusionen om Gud, John Lennox Guds dödgrävare, Christer Sturmark Tro och vetande 2.0 och Stefan Gustavsson Kristen på goda grunder. De frågor jag ställer mig är om diskussionen mellan den religiösa sidan och den vetenskapliga sidan diskuterar Guds existens på samma plan eller om dessa två sidor diskuterar bevisen på olika nivåer.  Analysen görs med genom en komparativ studie där frågan om arguments hållbarhet och relevans diskuteras. Frågeställningarna i mitt arbete är att visa på vilka argument som används när vetenskap och religion diskuteras samt om det finns några argument som väger tyngre än andra?     De diskussioner som jag lyft ur litteraturen handlar om tro och vetande, och om dessa står på helt olika sidor av varandra eller inte.

In this study the book talk is examined as a communicative act with a purpose to convince according to an under-lying intention to promote reading. I follow the book talk?s way from an idea of the book talker (and the library) to the reception of the audience, with the aim to understand how to talk about books in an engaging manner. More specifically, the rhetorical situation and the purpose of a book talk, the performance and the means to arouse and retain interest in the book talk as a speech and in the books themselves are examined and the impact of the book talk on the audience.The empirical material consists of observations of two different book talks (both directed to children) and interviews with the two different book talking librarians and a few of the children from the audiences to both book talks. The theoretical framework consists of rhetorical theories from both antique and modern times and I perform a rhetorical analysis of both book talks.

Debatten om hur oljan skall ersättas i Sverige till år 2020 pågår. Ett diskuterat alternativ är etanol, vars förbrukning förväntas öka. Sveriges etanolproduktion är beroende av EU:s tullstruktur, utan den blir fabrikerna i Sverige utkonkurrerade. Samtidigt är Sveriges handelspolitiska utgångspunkt att alla former av handelshinder skall motverkas. Om man skall satsa på en inhemsk produktion av etanol måste man gå emot handelspolitiken och inte propagera för en frihandel.

No infrastructures today are growing faster then communication network. The requirement of being able to communicate in a fast and qualified environment to a low cost increases in line with the development and competition. Itera Networks is no exception when it comes to rapidly developing new and better network solutions for themselves and for their customers. With these requirements in mind their needs for an analysis of the existing communication solution becomes very obvious. This project contains such an analysis in which various studies of the existing network environment have been made.

The aim of this study was to explore how young students can be taught during their first year of learning English towards the A1 level according to The European Framework of Reference for Languages, and how the students understand their own learning. The study was carried out in two different classes but with the same teacher, who is qualified to teach English to young learners. The result is based on the analysis of a total of twelve observations of English lessons in two classes in school year one and eight group interviews with the students. Recurrent ingredients through all lessons were activities such as listening to teacher talk, watching films or film clips, singing songs and doing rhymes, using drama activities, talking about the meaning of learning English, practicing guessing competence and learning new vocabulary. The teacher consistently talked about and taught different strategies for language learning.

This paper deals with stable isotope analysis on the children of the early Christian cemetery in Varnhem, Västergötland. Human bone and tooth material from the cemetery has been analysed for stable carbon, nitrogen and sulphur isotopes. The analysis showed that the diet had been homogeneous and that the children had been breastfed, with a possible exception of the child from grave 100..

The purpose of this Masters thesis is to make an outline of different methods and theories within the field of bibliometrics and critically review their strengths and weaknesses. The author studied literature that discussed bibliometric methods and theories. The number of empirical studies that are based on bibliometric methods and theories are numerous and where principally excluded, but some empirical studies were included as part of the argumentation for and against different methods and theories. The author first gives an outline of which methods and theories there are and describes their different strengths and weaknesses. Citation analysis has many different fields of application such as information retrieval, mapping science, evaluative studies and monitoring literature.

Den här uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka utvecklingen i vad som lyfts fram och drivs i svenska transportpolitiska riksdagsmotioner, med fokus på miljö. För att ta reda på detta genomförs en longitudinell studie där transportslag, miljöargument och åtgärder studeras för tre tidpunkter; år 1991, 2001 och 2011. Det slutliga urvalet som studien kom att grundas på var 624 fristående motioner. Bearbetning av dessa genomfördes med hjälp av en klassificeringsmall, utformad med teorin som grund. Studien har både kvantitativa och kvalitativa inslag, men det är den senare som varit övervägande då textanalys har utförts.I teorin uppmärksammas flera transportrelaterade miljöproblem, men utsläpp och i synnerhet utsläpp av koldioxid får stort fokus.

The purpose of this essay is to examine sfi (Swedish for immigrants), which is an ingrational-political tool with objective of teaching immigrants to read and write in Swedish. With the use of critical discourse analysis we examine the discursive practices within sfi. We also examine our methodological and theoretical approaches, and our application of them. Our research questions are as follows:? How are the discursive usage of ?person centered? and ?society centered? expressions being used?? How well does our methodological and theoretical resources work?In our theoretical viewpoint we use ?post colonial theory?, which is a perspective concerned with global power relations seen from a historical perspective.

I skolans styrdokument, Lpo/Lpf 94 liksom i kursplanerna i matematik för grundskolans senare år och gymnasieskolan, anges bl.a. att matematiken skall ge eleverna ?insikt i ämnets historiska utveckling, betydelse och roll i vårt samhälle?. En studie av de teoretiska ståndpunkter och argument som ligger till grund för formuleringar som denna visar att ett historiskt perspektiv på matematikundervisningen framförallt kan motiveras utifrån två olika kunskapsaspekter, å ena sidan matematiken som bidragande till elevernas bildning och medborgerliga kunskaper, å andra sidan matematiken som bidragande till elevernas förståelse inte endast för ?skolmatematik? utan också för de matematiska strukturer som finns integrerade överallt i vår kultur via teknik och infrastruktur.En studie av matematikhistoriens roll i undervisningen dels utifrån ett bildnings-, dels ett förståelseperspektiv, visar att det finns ett flertal motiv för att ta in historiska exempel och problemi matematikundervisningen.

The aim of the study is to make a comparison between the nursery/preschool recommendations (by the state) made in 1972 and the one used today. Here I?ve focused on the posts of looking after children vis-à-vis the educational responsibility. Also the type of education recommended in 1972 and what type of education recommended today. My questions concerns what the preschool recommendations from 1972 are and how they are viewed and applied today in the 2000nds.Since my questions has to do with ideologies regarding children, family and society I choose to do a specific form of text and content analysis called Idea and ideology analysis.In my theoretical chapter I choose two aspects central for my field of examination.

The aim of the study was to examine how Swedish tabloid journalism presented the contestants in the Swedish version of the reality show Idol 2009. We wanted to see which approaches tabloid news papers use when constructing the public identities of them. We have used text analysis to examine 37 articles and nine front pages with focus on the words, propositions, comparisons and parables that describe four of the contestants. In addition we have looked at myths and connotations shown in the pictures by using a semiotic analysis. The results show that the Swedish tabloids tend to describe the contestants in relation to their performances and personalities.

The municipality of Sandviken is in a state of strong growth. This affects the need for more hotel rooms in Sandviken, in a way that it?s profitable to invest in a new hotel. Sandvikens largest company, the steal industry Sandvik AB, grows just like Sandviken, and have great influence on the need of more hotel rooms. Today there are three hotels placed in Sandviken, and these hotels aren?t enough when the pressure of hotel guests is at its top.The purpose with the project was to analyse the criteria?s that are important for localization of a new hotel in the Sandviken, and to clarify what kind of hotel Sandviken is in need of.

This study analyses five different picture books from the last few decades. The aim of the analysis was to investigate how relations between children and adults are presented in the picture books. One way to achieve this has been to focus on the adults? presence or absence in the narrative, and also what kind of authority the adult(s) can have in the action and how it can affect relations between children and adults. The idea is that this degree project can be adapted for practical use in school.

The aim of this master thesis was to find and grade suitable sites for wind turbines in the rural district of Lerum at the reguest of Göteborg Energi. The rural district of Lerum consists of very complicated terrain which was the reason why we picked Lerum.The assignment was achieved by using the software program ArcGIS and its attendant tools. In step 1 an overall analysis was made in order to sort out the least suitable sites. Step 2 consisted of a 3D analysis in ArcScene together with a more precise analysis in ArcMap. As result we found two interesting sites, which met our demands and specific constraints.
