This thesis is based on an exhibition at the county museum Upplandsmuseet in Uppsala, Sweden. During an internship at this museum I got a chance to produce an exhibition, with some guidance from the museum staff. This exhibition was created with the purpose of teaching about agriculture in the late 19th century and also about the magnificent workmanship of Alrik Klingberg, who have carved these wooden objects for over 50 years. Each one of the objects possesses a story and a memory. The memories that Alrik Klingberg has incorporated into the objects are mainly from his childhood at a croft in northern Uppland.

This essay discusses the decision of licensing for nursery and school teachers. In Swedish society there has for a long time been discourse about professionalisation within various industries, including teaching. One strategy towards achieving professional status is official authorisation of a profession, which occurs when a profession obtains licensing.

This means that only those with an education can be employed as a teacher and obtain that license.

Det finns mycket lite forskning gjord kring vilken form av hjälp överviktiga vill ha och var de kan tänkas vilja söka hjälp för att komma till rätta med sin vikt. För att hälsopedagoger och närbesläktade yrkesgrupper ska kunna genomföra riktade interventioner mot övervikt är det betydelsefullt att de har kännedom om överviktigas önskningar. Avsikten med studien är att utreda överviktigas önskemål om hjälpform och behov av hjälpkanaler för att tydliggöra hur riktade viktinterventioner lämpligen bör utformas för att bli effektiva och på individens egna villkor. En kvantitativ enkätstudie har genomförts där resultaten jämförts för att skapa tillämpliga data till analysen. Undersökningen visar att överviktiga framför allt vill ha kostråd, råd om fysisk aktivitet och stöd i form av coachning.

The aim with this study was to examine professional peoples' view on the reason why females, under the age of 18 years old, self-harm and the professionals view on their treatment. The study is qualitative and based on eight interviews with professional personnel who work with young females with self-harm behavior in the region of Skåne. To be able to analyze our qualitative interviews we used two theories; the attachment theory and trauma theory. The results of this study show that there are many different functions with the self-harm behavior and that the cause of the behavior can be different among the females. Most of the young females seem to self-harm to reduce anxiety but some also do it to punish themselves, to feel alive or to belong to a group of friends.
