This paper deals with the late Viking age/early medieval grave field in Björned, Torsåker parish, Ångermanland County in northern Sweden. The grave field in Björned is rare because it has all the signs of being Christianized before the surroundings. This awakes questions such as if the people of Björned came from another place and brought the religion with them or if someone else did that for them. To find these answers I have analysed the stable isotope ratios [delta]13C, [delta]15N and [delta]34S in human bone collagen. Through these stable isotopes we can not only see what the people consumed but also where their food had its origin.

Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka om och på vilket sätt lä-rare/speciallärare/specialpedagoger i skolår 4-6 använder sig av resultaten från de nationella proven i matematik i årskurs tre i sin undervisning. Studiens syfte var också att ta reda på hur stödet är organiserat för de elever som inte uppnådde godkänt resultat på proven samt hur pedagogerna önskar att stödet ska se ut.1. På vilket sätt tar lärarna/speciallärarna/specialpedagogerna del av resultaten från de nationella proven i matematik och vad får de reda på eller vad tar de reda på?2. Hur ser stödet ut för de elever som inte nådde upp till kravnivån på nationella proven i matematik?3. Hur vill lärarna/speciallärarna/specialpedagogerna att stödet ska se ut?Teori: Studien utgår från det sociokulturella perspektivet där lärandet ses som en språklig och social företeelse. Vi lär av erfarenheter från oss själva och andra. Genom språket kan vi dela varandras erfarenheter.

Syftet med arbetet a?r att underso?ka hur blivande instrumentalpedagoger i ho?gre musikutbildning beskriver sin fysiska ha?lsa ga?llande ergonomiska besva?r och har detta fa?tt na?gra konsekvenser fo?r studenten. Som bakgrund har jag anva?nt mig av litteratur som bero?r ergonomi ba?de i rollen som musik- och instrumentla?rare men a?ven andra jobb som inte a?r kopplade till musik. Som metod i studien valde jag att anva?nda en kvantitativ forskningsmetod.

Ekologiska livsmedel a?r idag ett allt mer debatterat a?mne da?r majoriteten av den svenska befolkningen a?r positivt insta?llda till ekologiska livsmedel. Trots konsumenternas positiva insta?llning och den o?kade marknadskommunikationen som de stora livsmedelsbutikerna bedriver idag a?r fo?rsa?ljningen av ekologiska livsmedel i Sverige fortfarande la?g, endast 5,6 % av den totala livsmedelsfo?rsa?ljningen. Fo?r att o?ka den ekologiska fo?rsa?ljningen a?r det av stor vikt att bemo?ta konsumenten med en anpassad marknadskommunikation.

This paper set out to investigate how teachers of Swedish in Sweden implement the grammar objectives of the curriculum in their teaching, through interviewing six teachers. It has been important to compare their methods to modern research of grammar teaching and teaching in general. They have been asked a series of questions to answer whether or not they use grammar terminology as mediating tools, if they intergrate dialogue among students in grammar teaching and to what extent the teachers? knowledge of and attitude towards grammar influence their teaching methods. The results show that grammar is used as mediating tools primarily when it comes to feedback on pupils? texts, though not to a great extent; dialogue between pupils is rare when it comes to grammar teaching; and the teachers? grammar knowledge and attitude affect the teaching methods, primarily in the sense that seeing value in grammar knowledge increases the teacher?s desire to develop new methods for grammar teaching..

Fragmentation and reduction of forest area is a threat for many forest species and their habitat. Deficiencies in forest quality, such as lack of dead wood and old trees, are one explanation of the threat. The most important action to prevent the continued loss of forest types is to protect forest, but also to restore and to create areas that not previously had high nature values. Hence one of the key strategic roles for Fritid- och Naturkontoret, Uppsala municipality, is to monitor biodiversity in the context of urban planning. The majority of the Uppsala municipality residents live in urban areas and most of them spend some of their spare time in natural areas in cities and their immediate surroundings. Exploitation in and around Uppsala is high, but it is important that there is enough nature close to houses to meet the residents? needs of recreation.

ABSTRACTThe aim of this study is to analyse if the UN today constructs the water issue as a security issue and to argue about in which way the organization in that case does so alternatively why it can be said that the UN doesn?t construct the water issue as a security issue.In order to reach this purpose the following questions will be answered:?Does the UN construct the water issue as a security issue today?-If yes, in which way?-If no, why can it be said that the organisation doesn?t?The methods used are qualitative literature studies of policy documents on water from the UN. The focus is to analyze the ideas about water and to apply my theory on the concept of security, which is Barry Buzan?s framework on security, to these ideas.The main results showed that the UN strongly constructs the water issue as an environmental security issue for environments and species and in relatively strong terms also constructs it as an environmental security issue for civilisations. In rare cases the organisation constructs it as a societal security issue, but the UN doesn?t construct the water issue as a military, political or economic security issue..

The purpose of the study was to review the current veterinary literature regarding gastric dilatation and volvulus (GDV) considering pathophysiology and treatment, and to evaluate the operative technique (incisional gastropexy) used during the years 2005 and 2006 at the University Animal Hospital (Universitetsdjursjukhuset), SLU, Uppsala, Sweden. GDV has a complicated pathophysiology which foremost effects the circulatory system. Progress is often acute and it is not unusual that patients are affected with shock. The initial treatment targets to alleviate the shock by fluid therapy and decompression of the stomach. There is a high risk of recurrence in the long term perspective unless the stomach is surgically fixated by gastropexy. The study describes two different techniques for gastropexy; incisional gastropexy, and funduspexy. Long term complications were rare among the patients that were treated surgically, while about half out of the eighteen dogs that undergo surgery do experience complications of various severity in the short term..

The purpose of this essay is to analyze the view on sexuality held by Sweden?s first woman doctor Karolina Widerström, by using ideologycritical textanalysis on the written scriptures of dr. Widerström that focus on sexualpolitics. In doing this I use the theory of speech by Foucault. In this study I focus on Widerström?s scriptures, what she wrote about, how she wrote about it but also what she couldn't write due to the historical context and how omission can still speak of power.

This essay will focus on the people using and are involved in, and have a large interest in the horror film genre. The purpose of this essay is to find what urge these people to continuously watch horror movies and how they believe to be acknowledge by the society in a modern sense. Our study is mainly based on two separate interviews and therefore, mainly from the users perspective. This essay is also complemented by earlier research on this topic. In context of stigma, violence debate, exclusion we found that the users truly can be found in a rare type of alternative sphere, besides the public sphere.

Few rectory gardens are today remaining in their former design and the cultural heritage that they represent are disappearing. Since 1987-88 the parishes are no longer bound to keep housing for their priests, which means that they, for economical reasons, are starting to sell their rectories. With this in mind, a group of people, growing up in rectories in Småland and Öland between the 1930th and 1950th, formed an interest group to save the memory of their rectory gardens. On the basis of their memories, they have written a couple of descriptions of the rectories, which describe the gardens content, design and the life they once lived there. With this compilation of the 14 rectory gardens I want to keep the memory of them and create a ground for future work in this field. Historically the rectory gardens played an important roll as patterns and examples in the countryside.

Bakgrund: Det r?der en global brist p? organ och trots att det utf?rs fler organdonationsoperationer, m?ter det inte antalet som ?r i behov av organ f?r sin ?verlevnad. F?r att en avliden m?nniska ska f? donera beh?ver individen avlida under s?rskilda omst?ndigheter, f?r att sedan genomg? en donationsprocess. En donationsoperation involverar m?nga professioner, inklusive perioperativa sjuksk?terskor. Tidigare forskning visar att medverkan kan ge uppkomst till existentiella fr?gor samt p?verka sjuksk?terskans attityd om donationsoperation.

Just nu p?g?r studier om nya tekniker inom forensisk verksamhet som ska m?jligg?ra anv?nd ning av DNA f?r att f?ruts?ga fenotypiska egenskaper, s?som ?gon- och h?rf?rg, fr?n biologiskt material som hittats p? brottsplatser. Dessa prediktioner kan vara s?rskilt v?rdefulla i utred ningar d?r traditionell DNA-profilering inte ger tillr?cklig information. I denna rapport har data fr?n R?ttsmedicinalverket anv?nts, best?ende av sex single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associerade med ?gonf?rg och 22 SNPs associerade med h?rf?rg, insamlade fr?n 85 individer.

This study examines some students? attitudes towards mathematics in grade 2-4. When studying students? attitudes questionnaires and interviews are often being used as methods. In this study we used a more rare method.
