Musikmarknadsföring - att marknadsföra sig med musik och ljud är mycket inne just nu. Stora företag lägger ner allt större del av sin marknadsföringsbudget på att skapa en konsistent musikprofil. Sonic branding är ett marknadsföringskoncept som utgår från detta liksom sensory branding som innebär att marknadsföra sig konsekvent mot samtliga av människans sinnen. Både sonic branding och sensory branding utgår från religion och kristendom som inspiration för detta. Ingen av dem har dock undersökt vad kristendomens musikhistoria kan tillföra marknadsföring med musik.

Sverige beskrivs som ett mångkulturellt samhälle. Detta är av betydelse för förskolans uppdrag med att utveckla barnets medvetenhet och förståelse för andra kulturer och religioner. För att undvika fördomar och diskriminering är det betydelsefullt att redan i tidig ålder påvisa mångfalden av kultur och religion eller annan trosuppfattning Syftet med studien är att få en inblick i hur ett antal förskollärare talar om hur man praktiskt arbetar för att synliggöra och lyfta fram kultur och religion eller annan trosuppfattning i förskolan. Studien utgår ifrån ett sociokulturellt ? och interkulturellt perspektiv. Syftet och frågeställningarna har besvarats genom en kvalitativ undersökningsmetod med hjälp av semistrukturerade intervjuer.

The purpose of this paper is to explore how practicing teachers have included their education in their teaching profession. The five teachers who were interviewed expressed that they lack experience in dealing with administrative issues, conflict management, parental contact and how to manage stress. There has been prior research on how teachers perceive their everyday working lives. Those results showed that teachers are becoming stressed by not knowing how to handle certain situations.My results showed that the teachers were to busy so they created their own methods on how to deal with phenomena that the education have not treated or discussed. The interviews were analyzed with the help of two constructivist concept, authenticity and activity .Authenticity focuses on knowledge is created and constructed by everyday situations.

To support uniform and fair assessment of Swedish students? English language competences, mandatory National tests are provided both for secondary and upper secondary education. The current thesis may be seen as a contribution to the further development and validation of these tests, with regard to the likely introduction of computerized testing methods. The aim is to gain further knowledge from current research in the field, to study and elucidate international experiences of implementation, and to gather and analyze feedback from students and teachers. Based on my findings, some tentative conclusions will be drawn, and recommendations made concerning future developments.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka vilka som får representera de tyskspråkiga ländernas befolkning i några läromedel i tyska. Undersökningen fokuserar på hur aspekterna etnisk tillhörighet, funktionshinder, kön, religion och sexuell läggning skildras i läroböckerna. Arbetet ger en översikt av tidigare forskning, främst rörande läromedelsanalys, med inriktning på de valda aspekterna. Med hjälp av textanalys har jag undersökt fyra olika läroböcker i tyska för grundskolan. Sammanfattningsvis förekommer få skildringar av personer med annan etnisk tillhörighet än tysk i de granskade läroböckerna, ingen med annan sexuell läggning än heterosexuell, endast en funktionshindrad och religion förekommer mycket sparsamt.

Forming teacher teams is currently the standard way of organizing teachers in Swedish Compulsory Schools. This is the result of a process that started in the 1970s.Traditionally the culture of teaching has been one of isolation. Once the door to the classroom is shut, what happens behind the door is up to the teacher to decide. Over the past thirty years a lot of time has been dedicated to making fundamental changes in the way teachers interact with their colleagues. Today the idea of teachers forming teams is generally accepted but still the core of a Swedish teacher?s job is that of a lone worker.

The aspects in focus are: contents, genre, text length, paragraphing, sentence structure and choice of words.The data is drawn from six texts in the national test in Swedish for the 9th grade. Thetexts are analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively regarding contents as well as language.The results show that the qualities of language influence the assessment more than the qualities of contents.
