The purpose of this study is to examine two educational materials from different decades, to see if they have a conscious gender and equality perspective, and to see if they have followed the development society made regarding gender and equality. Even the curricula have a part in my study as I will relate them to the educational materials. Equality as a concept means briefly that women and men should have the same conditions, and gender depicts our notions of femininity and masculinity.I have chosen to do textual analyses, focusing on multimodal discourse because I analyze both text and image. I also use both quantitative and qualitative methods.My questions are: In which way do the curricula and the educational materials express equality?; In which way do the curricula and the educational materials express gender?; Do the educational materials express the fundamental values written about equality and gender in the curricula? And, if this is the case, does it mean that educational materials have followed the development of the Swedish society?The conclusion of this work is that equality and gender are presented as goals in both curricula, but the new curricula have developed that section more.

In today?s horse keeping, there is an increasing awareness of the importance of movement and activity for the horses comfort and tenability, while tradition has it that horses should be kept in boxes and small paddocks. In order to develop housing systems that fulfils and optimizes the horses needs regarding movement and activity, we need to know more about factors that influence the activity patterns of horses. A first step is to be able to record and analyze the gaits in horses with an automated system. This could be done by use of accelerometer data.In this pilot study, existing accelerometer technique was used to characterize the different gaits in horses (walk, trot and canter) by studying how their respective signal patterns differ and how this is influenced by the size of the horse.The accelerometers being used in this study measures the movement in three different spaces; horizontal, lateral and vertical.

Alla gör det - kommuner, städer, regioner och länder arbetar för att stärka eller skapa sig varumärken. Under de senaste åren har city branding blivit ett populärt ämne bland stadens lokalpolitiker, köpmän och marknadsförare för att locka till sig företag, investerare, besökare och ny befolkning till staden. Det handlar inte längre om att landets storstäder och regioner enbart anammar denna aktivitet utan det har blivit betydande även för mellanstora städer till småstäder. Med detta som bakgrund blir det intressant att undersöka en stad i Sverige som står i förändring, där en utveckling sker och med en stark tillväxt. En stad som står med ena foten i småstaden och den andra i steget mot den mellanstora staden.
