Detta arbete behandlar förmedlingen av den vikingatida kvinnan i arkeologisk kurslitteratur. En kvalitativ studie av materialet delar upp förmedlingen i åtta olika teman. Inom dessa teman redovisas citat som har valts ut för att representera de vis som den vikingatida kvinnan har förmedlats på. Resultatet visar att bilden av kvinna har förändrats under perioden som studerats. Den bild som ges i kurslitteraturen är sammankopplad med den arkeologiska forskningsteorins utveckling samt rådande samhällshegemoni.

This study intends to examine the impact of a well known debate page in one of Sweden?s biggest newspapers, Dagens Nyheter. We have done this by analysing Ekot, Aktuellt, Göteborgs Posten and Västerbottens-Kuriren to see to what extent they ?take? news from the debate page.The method used was content analysis and to describe some of our thoughts about how we placed the hits in different categories we chose eight of our hits to exemplify.The material from the newspapers, radio and television was examined to discover the potential impact from the debate page.To carry out this study we have mainly used theories about how media get influenced by each other?s news and how they do follow-ups and refer to the original media. Other theories of importance for our study are for example those about what kinds of events that become news and how media influences people?s thoughts about what?s important.One of the most important conclusions we were able to draw after carrying out our study was that the debate page in Dagens Nyheter has quite a small impact on what our chosen media reported on.

Bilden har stor betydelse för barns talspråksutveckling. I denna uppsats undersöks hur några pedagoger i fyra olika förskoleklasser använder sig av bilden för att främja en talspråksutveckling hos barnen. I Forskningsbakgrunden åskådliggörs några olika övergripande arbetsmetoder där man använder sig av bilder för att främja detta: Tematiskt arbetssätt, Reggio Emiliapedagogiken, samt Kiwimetoden och Bornholmsmodellen vilka är utformade för att utveckla barns språkliga medvetenhet. Inom de olika metoderna används olika verktyg som samtal, berättande och datoranvändning för att främja en talspråksutveckling. Undersökningen har genomförts med semistrukturerade intervjuer samt en deltagande observation av ett av de intervjuade pedagogernas undervisningstillfällen.

Detta dokument beskriver hur man kan använda kameramodulen TRDB DC2 från Terasic tillsammans med ett utvecklingskort DE2 för Alteras FPGA-kretsar. Kamerabilder överförs från kameramodulen till en VGA-skärm. VGA-bilden har en upplösning på 640 x 480 pixlar och 10bitars upplösning på färgerna. Systemet presterar maximalt 15 bilder per sekund och det är själva bildsensorn som sätter den begränsningen, man kan bla ändra exponeringstid och frysa bilden om man så vill. Hela projektet är skrivet i VHDL och arbetet är gjort i Quartus 6.0 från Altera.

This report shows a qualitative study on how six young adults in the ages between 20-30 who are students at Linnaeus University in Kalmar percieve their news consumption habits and their use of news media on digital platforms. The aim of the study is to examine whether the six students feel the strogest connection with the press where they were raised or where they currently live, why they choose to use the media platforms they do and what meaning the use of the media bare to the students. We have seen a lack of information concerning why young people choose to consume news online instead of in printed media.The study is focused on theories concerning what affects people in their choice of media platforms and channels. This report shows that geographic nature, the quality of the content and which political ideology the daily press is founded on does not affect the respondents choice of media. Our study shows that the most important factor for the respondents is that the platform is easily accesssible and flexible.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka den diskurs som följde i svensk media efter migrationsverkets beslut att ge syriska flyktingar permanent uppehållstillstånd.Metoden som vi har utgått ifrån är kritisk diskursanalys och innehållsanalys. Som data har vi valt ut tolv artiklar och två TV-program.Resultatet visar att media äger den makt som gör att de får avgöra hur ett sådant beslut ska presenteras och diskuteras. Resultatet visar även att media använder idag en annorlunda diskurs jämfört med 1980 och 1990 talet.Media kan med sin makt avgöra vem som ska/inte ska uttrycka sig. En ?Vi? och ?De? skapas av media som skiljer mellan den etablerade och den oetablerade i samhället.
