This paper aims to explore the possibility of reading the Temple cleansing stories of John and Mark through Bruce J Malina?s honor/shame model, as E. Randolph Richards do. The analysis searches in John?s and Mark?s Temple cleansings for the presence of the notions of honor and shame, as Malina uses those concepts in his model.

Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka elevernas strategier samt eventuella svårigheter och missuppfattningar med avseende på aritmetikkunskaper i åk 7 på en högstadieskola.Teoretisk referensram:Studien tar sin utgångspunkt i det postpositivistiska paradigmet och har både en kvantitativ med lösningsfrekvenser och en kvalitativ del med innehållsanalys. I det postpositivistiska paradigmet kan man använda sig av flera metoder (Denzin & Lincoln, 2011). Enligt Denzin och Lincoln är en av grundtankarna inom postpositivismen att vi aldrig kan förstå naturen helt och hållet, det finns alltid dolda faktorer som vi kanske inte kan upptäcka och detta utgör drivkraften för nya studier inom samma område. Grundidén med innehållsanalys är att kvantifiera någonting i texter utifrån ett speciellt syfte och som stöd för kvantifieringen kan intervjuerna användas (Bergström & Boréus, 2005).Metod: Undersökningen genomfördes i samtliga klasser i åk 7 på en skola och från denna grupp av elever valdes några elever ut för intervjuer. Den kvantitativa delen undersöker lösningsfrekvensen för de olika uppgifterna genom statistik över vilken typ av fel som eleverna gjort samt över hur många elever som har löst samtliga uppgifter inom ett räknesätt korrekt och vilken metod de har använt.

The purpose of this investigation is to reveal those hidden factors, which influence how leadership is practised, as well as the roles male and female play in their professions. Furthermore this investigation aims to elude the expectations and demands that leaders experience and their origin.The investigation is based on six interviews of senior managers, two male and four female. A qualitative approach has been utilized to penetrate the subject and understanding of the identified phenomenon. The theories employed to analyse the finding are Lincoln, Gerth & Mills and Merton. To further highlight certain specific results parts of Ahrne, Beck & Beck-Gernsheim theories have also been empoyeed.

I följande text avser jag att analysera Man of Tai Chi och undersöka förhållandet mellan Kina och Hollywood. Kina blir en alltmer viktig marknad för filmbolag från Hollywood och hur de förhåller sig till varandra på film.Kung fu-filmens spridning har inneburit andra kulturella uttryck, från Bruce Lee som symbol mot imperialistiskt förtryck i tredje världen, till att bidra med formande av nya bildsspråk i filmer som The Matrix. Hur kan en transnationell samproduktion mellan kinesiska och västerländska bolag se ut? I följande uppsats undersöker jag produktionsförhållanden och mottagande av filmen Man of Tai Chi och i slutsatsen kommer jag fram till att filmen misslyckats ur ett kommersiellt perspektiv..

Syftet med denna uppsats är att, genom Norman Faircloughs kritiska diskursanalys, undersöka hur debatten om kristna konfessionella friskolor ser ut i de kristna tidsskrifterna Kyrkans Tidning och Dagen. Diskursanalysens resultat analyseras utifrån Norman Faircloughs tredimensionella modell, samt Anthony Giddens teori om det posttraditionella samhället och Bruce Lincolns religionsdefinition. Resultatet visar att debatten i tidsskrifterna övervägande präglas av en frustration över oklara direktiv från skollagen och Skolverket i fråga om konfessionella inslag i den svenska skolan..

Nyhetsrapporteringarna från det amerikanska inbördeskriget 1861-65 observerades med intresse och spänning av de samtida tidningsläsarna i länderna i Europa. Därför fanns det rådande attityder även i Sverige och kring detta har studier gjorts av ett flertal forskare.Syftet med denna undersökning har varit att studera tidningen Östgöta Correspondentens nyhetsrapportering kring det amerikanska inbördeskriget samt att jämföra de framträdande attityderna med andra svenska attityder och den generella liberala opinionen kring konflikten.Då jag ämnat tolka attityder i tidningens nyhetsförmedling av konflikten har jag granskat källmaterialet med hjälp av textanalys. Med denna kvalitativa metod har jag uppnått en medvetenhet för hur tidningen förhöll sig till konflikten. För att analysen ska bli meningsfull har den anknutits till ett teoretiskt sammanhang så att betydelsen av mitt resultat kan granskas.Genom analysen av tidningens källmaterial har jag kunnat visa att tidningen hade ett liberalt förhållningssätt till det amerikanska inbördeskriget med fokus på frihetsaspekten kring slaveriet. Tidningen uppvisade kritik mot att frågan om slaveriet hamnade i skymundan för den amerikanska unionens upplösning, men stöttade på det stora hela Lincolns och unionens syften.

This master thesis investigates the user education. Christine Bruce has presented a theory of information literacy in her research which has resulted in seven different aspects of information literacy. In this study I wanted to investigate what aspects there were and what they looked like in a practical educational situation. The methods used for this study were observation and a questionnaire. I analysed the observations by using Bruces aspects of information literacy to group the observed activities into the different aspects.

The purpose of this Masters thesis is to investigate how actors involved in a municipal's adult education view students access to information- and library resources. The adult education in the municipal is on contract which means that there are several different actors involved in the realization of the adult education. The raised questions in this study deals with; libraries role within adult education, students needs for becoming information literate and where responsibilities for students access to libraries lies. We used a qualitative method which includes interviews with two principles, a controller, three pedagogues and a librarian. The empirical data is analysed against taxonomies and categories which originates from the theories of David Loertscher and Christine Bruce.

The purpose of this essay is to understand the rhetoric presented by Henry V in Shakespeare?s St. Crispin?s day speech. More specifically, it examines the speech from a "dramatistic" point of view, i.e.

The purpose of this Bachelor?s thesis is to examine university librarians? perceptions of information literacy, of students? information literacy and of education in information literacy. The focus is on how they perceive the students? information literacy development during their university studies. Also of interest in this study is how librarians think that their teaching in information literacy should be included in the students? other courses. Three librarians at a Swedish university library were interviewed using qualitative interviews.

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate whether or not capitalism, viewed here as the system that is currently the dominant economic system in the Western world, can be seen as a modern myth or not. An author, Brian Tracy, of several popular self-help books is the target of this investigation and the language he uses in his books have been scrutinized in order to see whether or not he uses a religiously influenced, and more importantly, myth-creating language. In order to do so, Bruce Lincolns theories of myth have been used in correlation with Stefan Arvidssons definition ov myths. Also of interest is whether or not Tracy in his books uses any of the instruments of power defined by Michel Foucault to support his claims.The investigation shows that capitalism indeed can be seen as a modern myth. This claim is supported by the facts that Tracy not only uses a language heavily influenced by Christian texts and belief but furthermore because he descirbes himself and the people he claims to have helped in a way that strongly resembles the narratives of myths.

This Masters thesis aims at investigating how 15-year old girls use the Internet, particularly on their free time, taking a source critical perspective. It includes group interviews. The main question of this thesis was whether there is a need for specific user education. The following four questions were asked: What do they do on the Internet during their free time? In what way do the girls learn how to interact with each other on the Internet? How do they relate to different types of web pages and materials from a source critical aspect? What content do they consider to be relevant in a user education? The study is mainly focused on information use and information behaviour in different contexts.
