Having different kinds of literature is an important part of the education in school and schoolbooks, in shape of reading-books, are common in the first year of primary school. The texts pupils encounter in school are important for how they form their identity and thoughts about what is right or wrong and what is natural or unnatural. People of other ethnicity than Swedish, or with another skin colour than white, have often in the past been portrayed negatively in reading-books as if they are of less worth. According to the Curriculum for the Compulsory School System (Lpo94) the school shall act for understanding of all people and every person?s equal value.The study analyses how ethnicity is portrayed in reading-books for pupils in the first year of primary school.

Forming teacher teams is currently the standard way of organizing teachers in Swedish Compulsory Schools. This is the result of a process that started in the 1970s.Traditionally the culture of teaching has been one of isolation. Once the door to the classroom is shut, what happens behind the door is up to the teacher to decide. Over the past thirty years a lot of time has been dedicated to making fundamental changes in the way teachers interact with their colleagues. Today the idea of teachers forming teams is generally accepted but still the core of a Swedish teacher?s job is that of a lone worker.

Bakgrund: I dagens samhälle drabbas många personer av psykisk ohälsa och varje dag tvångsvårdas ungefär 3000 personer i Sverige med stöd av lagen om psykiatrisk tvångsvård eller lagen om rättspsykiatrisk tvångsvård. Att vårdas mot sin vilja kan beskrivas som en väldigt besvärlig upplevelse där patienten ofta förlorar sin självbestämmanderätt och integritet. Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva patienters upplevelser av tvångsvård inom slutenvården. Metod: I denna litteraturstudie har åtta kvalitativa artiklar analyserats med hjälp av innehållsanalys. Databaserna som användes vid artikelsökningarna var: CINAHL, PubMed och PsycInfo. Resultat: Resultatet visar att upplevelsen av tvångsvården ger flera olika känslor och reaktioner.

AbstractWhen the Swedish Centre Party, Centerpartiet, just before Christmas 2012 released a draft for new program of ideas a powerful "winter storm" broke out. Ideas that Centerpartiet would abolish compulsory schooling and the right to inheritance and allow polygamy are just a few of the things that cause alarm.It's not the first time during the last years the Centre Party is associated with neo-liberal elements in their party?s ideology. In 2007 Erik Ullenhag criticized Centerpartiet for their new neo-liberalism was a danger to the alliance.The aim of this study is to investigate whether it is possible to see a change in Centerpartiets ideology and how deep it is. From an idea analytical approach based on ideal types, created for social liberalism, neoliberalism and ecohumanism, the party programs from 2001 and 2013 are studied.

Background: Studies have shown that 66 children and teenagers in Sweden suffers from brain tumor every year. Children and teenagers who can´t participate in the regular school for a longer time for whatever reason, have by the school law the right to education in hospitals or institutions. Education that take place in other places than school most try to follow the same guidelines as his/hers usual school.  This applies to students in elementary school, compulsory school, special school, Sami school, secondary school and upper secondary school.Purpose:  The purpose of this study was to find out how three teachers at a hospital school plans their work with children in grade from 1 to 3, who suffer from cancer, especially brain tumor.  How can the teachers at the hospital school plan and organize their teaching so that it´s possible for the children whit brain tumor to feel as normal as possible. How does the common work between the consultant nurse, teachers at the hospitals and their ordinary school prevent the children to feel like an outsider?Method: I have chosen to do a qualitative study followed by three interviews whit three informants who works at a hospital school.

Bakgrund: I Sverige tvångsvårdas 3000 personer varje dag utifrån Lagen om psykiatrisk tvångsvård eller Lagen om rättspsykiatrisk vård. Tvångsvård får endast ges om personen lider av en allvarlig psykisk störning, eller på grund av sitt psykiska tillstånd har ett nödvändigt behov av psykiatrisk vård, som inte kan tillgodoses på annat sätt än att personen är intagen på en psykiatrisk vårdavdelning. Viktiga principer att praktisera vid tvångsvård är autonomiprincipen, människovärdesprincipen, legalitetsprincipen och integritetsprincipen.Syftet: Syftet i denna litteraturstudie var att belysa patientens upplevelse av psykiatrisk tvångsvård inom slutenvård.Metod: En systematisk litteraturstudie med 14 kvalitativa artiklar som inkluderats efter sökning i databaserna Cinahl, PubMed och PsycINFO.Resultat: Åtta olika kategorier framkom, Att medicineras under tvång, Att bli frihetsberövad, Att få adekvat stöd från personal och familj, Att få adekvat och kompetent vård, Att inte få tillräckligt med information, Att inte bli bemött som en värdig människa, Att inte få behålla sin autonomi, Att inte få behålla sin identitet.Diskussion: Resultatdiskussionen är baserad på tre huvudfynd, Delaktighet, Information, Människovärde. Dessa fynd har diskuterats med hjälp av viktiga principer att praktisera vid tvångsvård, samt med hjälp av annan forskning inom psykiatrin..

Reading and analyzing literature has a long tradition of being an essential part of the teaching of English in Sweden. As the offers of entertainment have increased in popular culture with the introduction of computer games, internet and other media, interest in reading novels has decreased. Literature is still a compulsory part of English teaching and the question is how teachers of today use literature and what kind of literary instruction they use.The aim of this study is to explore and discuss the literary instruction discourse in pedagogical texts, lessons, created by and for English teachers of Swedish Upper Secondary Schools. The lessons have been collected from the site lektion.se, where teachers are able to share knowledge and lessons. The study uses an analytical method based on Norman Fairclough´s Critical Discourse Analysis in order to analyze the lessons.

This study aims to examine the regard paid to the use of Assistive Technology (AT) when assessing the knowledge of Year 9 pupils with dyslexia in the subject Swedish. A starting point was to examine the knowledge of a group of teachers in the areas of dyslexia and AT. The issues then developed as to which AT a dyslexic pupil is allowed to use in an assessment situation and how the use of these tools affects the assessment. There was an examination of the guidelines that the teacher group can use as support when assessing the knowledge of dyslexic pupils on the basis of AT. The method used was qualitative semi-structured interviews.

This paper presents a study of educational materials used in Swedish language education. The aim of the study is to understand in which way multimodal resources can be used in texts, to benefit in the process of meaning making among pupils in the nine-year compulsory school. The theoretical framework used as a basis for understanding and analysing these educational materials is the social semiotic multimodal perspective and the design theoretical multimodal perspective. The study is a multimodal text analysis but it also involves analyses of the syllabi connected to the subject of Swedish language education. The extended concept of text was introduced in the year of 2000 in the syllabus and today multimodal texts are supposed to be part of the Swedish language education.

Andersson, Irja. & Jönsson, Bengt. (2006) Grundsärskoleelevers integrering i grundskolan - Möjligheter och hinder. (Inclusion of students with learning disabilities in the compulsory school ? possibilities and obstacles). Skolutveckling och ledarskap, Specialpedagogisk påbyggnadsutbildning, Lärarutbildningen, Malmö högskola. Syftet med arbetet är att undersöka vilka möjligheter respektive hinder som finns när det gäller grundsärskoleelevers integrering i grundskolan samt belysa vikten av ett bra samarbete mellan de båda skolformerna som grund för en lyckad integrering. Arbetet ger en översikt av tidigare forskning kring de här frågeställningarna samt visar läsaren på vikten av de båda skolformerna ska närma sig varandra. Med hjälp av intervjuer ville vi undersöka vilka möjligheter och hinder som styr grundsärskoleelevers integrering i grundskolan. Intervjuerna genomfördes i två skilda kommuner på fyra olika skolor för att upptäcka eventuella likheter och skillnader.

Commercial expropriation occurs when real property is compulsory acquired by a private operator. This phenomenon is relatively new and has been criticized not only because of the rules concerning compensation, but also from the point of view of permissibility.An intervention in the protection of property must fulfill the requirement of important public interest set out in RF 2 kap. 15 § in order for it to be allowed. There is no definition regarding what constitutes an important public interest, the only thing that exist is a non-exhaustive list in the preparatory work. This in turn has led to the creation of a broad discretion when it comes to determining what constitutes important public interests.

Tva?ngsva?rden av missbrukare a?r ett av samha?llets sista verktyg fo?r att va?rda missbrukare som lever ett va?ldigt destruktivt och farligt liv. Tva?ngsva?rdslagstiftningen har kritiserats fo?r att vara sva?rtolkad, och det finns sto?d fo?r att lagstiftningen tilla?mpas olika i landets socialna?mnder. Genom att intervjua socialtja?nstens enhetschefer om deras tolkning och tilla?mpning av tva?ngsva?rdslagstiftningen syftar uppsatsen till att belysa skillnader och likheter i tolkning och tilla?mpning av lagstiftningen samt att bidra med kunskap om vilka faktorer som kan fo?rsva?ra arbetet.

The aim of this study was to search for a link between the subject pictorial studies in means of expression and the ability to communicate in written and spoken language. To do so findings in relevant literature and a few complementing theories was addressed to cast light on interviews made with teachers dedicated to the subject pictorial studies in a subject-integrated curriculum.Interviews were conducted with nine teachers and all but one were teachers in the subject pictorial studies, spread across all of the nine grades in compulsory school. Informants were located in areas of socioeconomically high as well as low status, in central and densely populated areas as well as areas less densely populated. The diverse theoretical background consisted of semiotics, constructivist theory, social constructivist theory and genre theory. Theories and literature partly both contradicted and supported each other, depending on situation and circumstance.No evident conclusion could be made that discriminated one affecting cause from another on speech or writing skills.
