Denna uppsats behandlar Steven Spielbergs film Schindlers list med utgångspunkt i de historiedidaktiska begreppen historiemedvetande och historiebruk. Arbetet baseras således på en analys av filmen. Utslaget av denna analys har blivit en diskussion kring dels specifika scener, dels hur filmen i sin helhet ger uttryck för historiebruk och på vad sätt ett historiemedvetande kan stimuleras. Av vikt har även varit att framhålla på vilket sätt filmen som narrativ kan stimulera ett historiemedvetande. Uppsatsen gör en ansats till att koppla samman de ovannämnda historiedidaktiska begreppen då historiebruk, vilket kan förstås som hur man använder sig av historia, påverkar ett historiemedvetande beroende på vad och hur den väljer att framställa det förflutna.

The aim of this study was to create an understanding of how a group of community policing officers engagement are shaped. Previous research argues that there is a police culture which conveys cynicism to the individual police. The research also says that the police adopt a pessimistic view of society, they are isolated and at odds with the rest of society. Furthermore, research has also shown how a narrative can exist that explains the police way of doing things. My contribution to the field is to explore how a narrative can be located, which precedes and shapes the police engagement.

To challenge the competition within the construction business there are requirements ineffectiveness and use of operating computer based programs and work-methods. Thecomputer based programs are continuously improved and can at some point be the start of anew work-method. The work-method of tomorrow can be Building Information Modeling(BIM).This Master of Science Thesis gives an understanding in what BIM is and what therequirements for Sweco Theorells are in a future BIM-use as a consulting-firm. Theunderstanding is presented through a study of theory within the subject. The way of thinkingand acting among different disciplines and individuals within the building process isexplained through an interview study.The term BIM is regularly used.

Religionsämnet har genomgått stora förändringar de senaste 100 åren, från att ha varit ett konfessionellt kristendomsämne till att ha blivit ett ämne präglat av förståelse för andras kulturer och livsåskådningar samt etik. Ämnet väcker många reaktioner och elever i gymnasieskolan har många åsikter kring ämnets innehåll och nytta. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur ämnet har förändrats genom att studera olika kursplaner. Vad som påverkat dessa förändringar kommer också att granskas. Att ta reda på hur dagens gymnasieelever ser på religionsämnet är också en del av denna studie.

Syftet med den här uppsatsen har varit att arbeta fram ett upplägg för hur man kan arbeta tvärvetenskapligt mellan biologi A och religionskunskap A. Vårt mål har inte varit att tvinga fram ett samarbete mellan de båda kurserna, istället har vi utgått ifrån tanken att tvärvetenskapligt arbete enbart är gynnsamt då det finns naturliga överlappningar mellan ämnena. Med hjälp av en ingående litteraturstudie har vi samlat in fakta på vilken vi baserar vårt kursupplägg. I kursupplägget visar vi på hur ett samarbete skulle kunna gå till när man i biologi behandlar genetik och evolution och i religionskunskap behandlar etik och moral samt de fem världsreligionerna. Vi fann att stora delar av kursmålen för de båda kurserna uppfylls av vårt tänkta upplägg, trots att upplägget inte sträcker sig över hela kurserna.

The theory of deliberative democracy believes in collective decision-making to achieve an expanded legitimacy and rationality in the political process. It is argued that those good public dialogues best take places in public spheres between citizens, where the common interest is carefully thought about. This thesis was done with the assumption that theatre can strengthen the idea of the public sphere and create a meeting place in the civil society, where a good public dialogue can appear. To create a good public dialogue you need citizens that are corresponding and participatory. Citizens who participate in the political process develop an increased knowledge about the society and the more knowledge about the society the larger reason to participate.

Many perceive a boom in nostalgia and what is retro, especially within the marketing discipline. This thesis studies how nostalgia functions in the advertising context and aims to shed light on which effects there are from nostalgia evoking communication, what connections there are with other important factors as well as aspires to develop the understanding of the underlying psychological aspects and the emotional bonds to events (as nostalgia evoking stimuli in the thesis), which pave the ground for nostalgic emotions. Point of origin has been classical measures of communication effects and models of connections and causality and to these important factors have been added. Results show clear connections and correlations between nostalgia and positive communication effects, even with control for other factors that may interfere. However, the results show that some factors have moderating effects that should be important to take into consideration, namely how well the brand and the event in the ad are perceived to fit the advertising context.

The use of history is the concept of people using and analyzing history in the society for various purposes. Study in this area has largely emerged because there are many different reasons for people and societies to be interested in history. To investigate the use of history, a historical material needs to be present in some form. With this study, I intend to show how older tourist guidebooks can provide such materials of study and therefore I use travel guidebooks about Tallinn released under the USSR (Estonian SSR) between the years 1960 to 1990. The analysis is based on Klas-Go?ran Karlsson's (Professor of History) typology of seven different uses of history: scientific, existential, moral, ideological, political, educational, non-use of history and a commercial use of history.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur undervisning i moralfilosofi kan se ut på gymnasiet. Kursplaner och läromedel i filosofi har undersökts. Fyra lärare har i intervjuer gett sin bild av den undervisning i moralfilosofi som de bedriver. Kursplanerna ger varje lärare stor frihet att avgöra vilka teorier som ska diskuteras på lektionerna i filosofi. I uppsatsen diskuteras skillnaden mellan principetik och agentetik. Den första klassificeras ibland som manlig moral, och den senare som kvinnlig.

The purpose of this essay is to critically review three different contributions to the agency ? structure debate from a political science perspective. My opinon is that the agency ? structure debate is one of the main problems within the social science. The theories which I will examine are Lennart Berntsons theory from 1974, Lennart Lundquists from 1984 and Walter Carlsnaes from 1992.

Syftet med detta fördjupningsarbete är att försöka ge klarhet på några vanliga argument för respektive mot dödsstraffet. Vi vill öka vår kunskap inom detta område för att om möjligt möjliggöra ett ställningstagande gjort utifrån empiriska studier snarare än antaganden. I det inledande kapitlet beskriver vi dödsstraffet genom historiens gång. Vi tar även upp FN:s och Europakonventionens arbete att stoppa nyttjandet av denna straffpåföljd. Vi har sammanställt vårt resultat genom att fördjupa oss i dels fyra facklitterära böcker med olika inställningar till dödsstraffet, dels genom en Brå-rapport samt Amnesty internationell.

Sara Lidman?s second novel Hjortronlandet (1955) unfolds in the north of Sweden in the early 20th century. It describes the progress of modernity and the conflicting interests of an old local culture and a new more ?civilised? one. The two cultures are constituted by different value systems and in the novel they are represented by two neighbour communities.

In 1929, the Scientific Crime Detection Laboratory was established in Chicago?the first of its kind in the United States. The purpose was to engage in practical use of scientific methods in the detection of crime. In 1930, the institute published its own periodical called The American Journal of Police Science. Applying the theory of boundary-work, this essay analyses how the novelty institute argued its legitimacy as a scientific establishment through the expansion of Police Science as a collective field of knowledge.

The main aim of this thesis is to introduce a normative perspective to surveillance studies. I examine how the use of videocameras or CCTV-systems can create a social sorting and, then, try to answer why it ought to be reconstructed based on a normative study.For the empirical analysis I use Foucaults theory about the panopticon, maintained by the psychological subjection of the common citizen in the modern world, together with Lianos theory of a more socio-cultural surveillance in the post-modern world. The empirical examination is, furthermore, guided by a theory that describes the construction of the stranger, which today, is not explicitly excluded, because everyone is a stranger in some way, but rather depicted as the other due to institutionalization.The post-modern society today can no longer be built upon a common or divine moral or norm. Thus, I have chosen a normative method, using a deliberative democracy derived from Habermas, focusing on the communicative practice, that can engage and include every citizen in a democratic process. This is necessary for both deciding whether videocameras should be installed and whom and why some should be under surveillance ? to avoid a social sorting that both can constitute and undermine social trust and increase the gap between the governing and the governed..
