Att drabbas av bröstcancer är en omtumlande händelse i livet. Religion och andlighet har visat sig spela en viktig roll hos dessa kvinnor. Det är viktigt att förstå skillnader mellan religion och andlighet och att de båda inte hör ihop, utan kan upplevas fria från varandra. Syftet var att belysa betydelsen av andlighet och religion hos kvinnor med bröstcancer. Studien är gjord som en litteraturstudie baserad på empiriska studier där totalt elva vetenskapliga artiklar har granskats.

V?stv?rlden s?rskiljer m?nniskan fr?n naturen och betraktar den f?rra som ?verl?gsen den senare. Enligt antropocentrismens kritiker ?r m?nniskans uppfattning om ?verl?gsenhet en av orsakerna till klimatf?r?ndringarna. F?r att kunna bek?mpa klimatf?r?ndringarna beh?ver m?nniskan ?verg? fr?n ett antropocentriskt till ett ekologiskt perspektiv p? kunskap och verkligheten; d.v.s.

Uppsatsen syfte är att undersöka hur gymnasiepedagoger bedriver religionskunskap och om olika utövanden och trosföreställningar i en och samma religion framkommer i undervisningen. För att komma fram till ett svar har kvalitativa intervjuer gjorts med pedagoger. Det finns olika synsätt på och olika definitioner av religion, vilket litteraturen visar i uppsatsen. Litteraturen fastställer också att det finns olika utövanden i en och samma religion. Ninian Smart (1989) menar att för att förstå en religion krävs det även att man studerar hur religionen praktiseras av människorna. Uppsatsen behandlar även litteratur om hur skolans roll ser ut. Birger Lendahls (1986) anser att förståelse kan erhållas vid möten mellan elever och människor från olika religioner.

Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka hur nyblivna föräldrar i Sverigeargumenterar för att antingen döpa eller inte döpa sitt eller sina barn. Studienbaseras på semistrukturerade intervjuer. Dessa intervjuer fokuserar påföräldrarnas huvudargument. Intervjuerna har sedan kodats och kategoriseratsför att finna likheter och mönster. Föräldrarna som valde att döpa sina barnvar mer flexibla i sin syn på dopet som religiös handling och fokuserar iställetpå religion.

Syftet i denna uppsats är att genomföra en diskursanalys av tidskriften Vi i villa, detta för att kunna besvara hur diskursen uttrycker relationen mellan boendeformen hus, religion och ett framväxande modernt samhälle. Utgångspunkten i arbetet är att religion uppstår ur sociala processer, samt att individens föreställningar om det ideala livet har en normativ funktion. Diskursanalysen resultat analyseras utifrån det moderna, eller postmoderna samhällets framväxande, teori om sekularisering, individualisering och nyandlighet presenteras i litteraturstudien. De första uttrycken för nyandlighet framkommer i materialet 1991, och 2010 framställs boendeformen hus alltmer som en individualiserad föreställning om ett idealt liv, samhällets förändring de sista fyrtio åren har tydligt påverkat sambanden mellan religion och hus..

In this study, religiosity in prison is investigated. What opportunities are there for those detained to practice their religion and how did their religiosity change after they were detained? Six interviews were conducted to gain a better perspective of religiosity in prison.

Christianity has for a long time played a significant role in the Swedish school system, which can be seen in the syllabus of the course religion in 2011 where Christianity got a special status and the Christian alignments were explicit named. The aim of this essay was to see whether, and if so how, Christianity and its three alignments ? Catholicism, Orthodoxy and Protestantism ? had developed a greater impact in religion textbooks for grades 7?9 adapted to Lgr 11 compared to Lpo 94 and partly to see if there had been any changes and to what extent. The main question concerned whether Christianity had a greater impact in religion textbooks adapted to Lgr 11 than Lpo 94 and how Christianity could be seen as culture-religion. The sub-questions concerned whether there was any differences in what Christianity is and to what extent Christianity were represented in religion textbooks, but also if any difference to what range the three alignments where represented. The study consisted of six religion textbooks for grades 7?9, where three were adapted to Lpo 94 and three to Lgr 11.

AbstractThe purpose of this study is to illustrate Serbia?s democratic development on the basis of consolidate democratic perspective. Linz & Stepan´s five arenas (political, civil, economic, legal and bureaucratic) are required for the possibility to become a consolidate democracy. In order to fulfil the aim, I have chosen to focus on the political and civil arenas that are most central in the study of consolidate democracy.The purpose of this study is to process how far Serbia has come towards a consolidate democracy and which obstacles still remain in the transition.The questions in this study are:? What problems has Serbia faced since the democratic transition in the beginning of 1990?? What possibilities are there for Serbia to consolidate the democracy, with focus on the two key arenas of consolidation?By applying the theoretical framework to the data, I have been able to present answers and build up an analysis.

The study will examine how teachers relate to religious studies for middle school students. Religious studies are the oldest but also the most contested subject undergoing the most changes over time. The subject is far from being obvious. Politicians and people within the school community disagree about the subject?s content and its name, some within the school system but also politicians like to call it topic of life studies or belief studies, while others want to keep the name religion studies.

The Swedish RE curriculum states that a major purpose and aim of education inreligion is to make the students accepting and understanding of people, regardlessof religious beliefs and conceptions of life. Previous research has shown that thereare tendencies indicating that these goals are not being attained thus Swedish adolescencespeak of religion and religious people in a stereotypical manner. Thesetendencies are causes of concern which is why this study seeks to make a contributionto the previous research. This research is required since there may havebeen a change in terms of results since the last study was made. In addition, resultsfrom research that are based on interviews are hard to generalize.

The aim of this study is to analyze how two different education books produce christianity and islam. The analyzed books is from 2003 and 2008 and the books are adapted for the last years of primary school.

The language is important too.

The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate the extent of the civil rights political participation on a municipality level. The starting-point is the participatory democratic theory.

The downsizing of the Swedish armed forces during the late 20th century and early 21 th century has caused several thousand people to choose a different career. This undergraduate thesis investigates the self-observed employability and work-place competence of a number of Swedish armed forces officers who has made the transition to a civil career. The thesis seeks to answer questions about how the transition is comprehended, how military merits and competences are valued in civil work places and which differences in ability to use their competences the respondents experience. The study is made using qualitative interviews, which are analysed using a miexed method inspired by phenomenological method. The findings include that the essence of the respondents emplooyability is a shared work indentity as miltary officers and a common experienced problem in translating their merits.
