The ways designers work with craftsmen in other countries can vary alot,but still there are many similarities. In this study we make comparisonsbetween a number of projects involving three different designers and artisansin other countries and parallel that to our own work in South Africa.What we have seen is that there is some common denominators betweenthe different projects that are being taken care of in different ways.Some things that commonly attract the designers seem to be the skills ofthe craftsmen, as well as their colouring, patterns and materials. A furthercommon denominator in the projects is that people?s perception of qualityhas become an important issue. The products that are being developedare often sold in the country of the designer, and therefore a needto insure that the quality of the products is up to the standards expectedin that certain country has occurred.

Stroke är en stor orsak till funktionsnedsättningar. Dödligheten från stroke har minskat de senaste åren och därmed har antalet överlevanden med funktionsnedsättningar ökat. Svårigheten av en funktionsnedsättning kommer sig av vad den leder till för den enskilde individen. Målet vid omvårdnaden vid stroke ska individualiseras och arbeta för att uppnå största möjliga hälsa. Meleis transitionsteori beskriver en individs övergång från ett stabilt tillstånd till ett nytt och processen däremellan.

I detta arbete undersöks gymnasieelevers fysiska självuppfattning med instrumentet Children and Youth Physical Self-Perception Profile (CY-PSPP) för att reda ut om det finns samband mellan fysisk självkänsla och subdomäner till den fysiska självkänslan och betyg i kursen idrott och hälsa A. Hur förhållandena ser ut mellan dessa variabler är också centralt. Resultaten som analyseras har samlats in från tre gymnasieskolor i Mellansverige. 184 elever, 79 flickor och 106 pojkar, har fyllt i enkäten. Statistisk analys med chi-tvåtest visar samband mellan betyg i kursen idrott och hälsa A och pojkarnas varseblivning av fysisk självkänsla, fysisk kondition, fysisk styrka och idrottslig kompetens där pojkar som avslutat kursen med höga betyg har höga värden och det motsatta förhållandet gäller för elever i den lägre delen av betygskalan.

Bakgrund: Vår självskattade fysiska självkänsla är av betydelse för vår motivation att vilja vara fysiskt aktiv. Det har även visat sig i tidigare forskning att högre fysisk självkänsla påverkar elevers resultat i skolan positivt. Syftet med arbetet var att se vilka samband det fanns mellan fysisk självkänsla och elevers närvaro i idrott och hälsa. Metod: Två klasser på en skola i sydöstra Sverige deltog i undersökningen, HT -12. Studien bygger på en kvantitativ undersökning i form av en redan framtagen enkät: ?Sådan är jag! ? barn?, även kallad CY-PSPP (Children and Youth ? Physical Self Perception Profile).

Title: ?...baby, I´m the worrying kind.? - A quantitative analysis of the relation between TV news consumption and worry of crime.Authors: Maria Askerfjord Sundeby and Jennifer RochetteYear: Autumn 2014Level: Bachelor degreeDepartment: Department of Journalism, Media and Communication, Göteborgs universitet.Supervisor: Adam ShehataSummary: The aim of this thesis is to analyze the relations between worry of crime, both societal and personal, and consumption of news from the Swedish TV-channels SVT (public service) and TV4 (commercial). The cultivation theory claims that it is just the amount of TV that shows an effect on consumers and their perception of reality, like for example the mean world syndrome. But the theory has been criticized for not considering the possible effects that are actually related to other variables. These variables have weakened or totally eliminated the effects, previously explainedby TV, in later control studies of the cultivation theory.

For the past decades, culture has been given a role as a factor for local and regional development. But what is meant by development and in what ways culture can be of importance in this aspect can be unclear.

I study the way the role as developer is expressed and interpreted in the discourse of the cultural workers who are members of the network and in the discourse of public cultural policy in the region Västra Götaland and in Åmål municipality.

The purpose of this research is to examine the customers? attitudes in the issue of climate compensation and trying to define the reasons behind their choices.The results of the quantitative questionnaire were analyzed by using descriptive and analytical statistical methods and have shown some correlation between customers? ages and decisions to accept or not the offer of KlimatEl.
