The purpose of this thesis is to investigate whether the lower secondary school teaching in religion leads to a positive understanding and openness, concerning different religions and cultures. We want to study how pupils in grade eight and nine in two lower secondary schools in a multicultural community comprehend different religions. Since we choose a pupils perspective we decided to do a questionnaire to get a wide ground. As a complement we interviewed twelve pupils and also did observations during their religion classes. During our study we focused on three different themes.

Bolagsledningen har ofta bättre insikt i bolaget än någon annan, de kontrollerar verksamheten och har kontroll över villkoren för de transaktioner bolaget vidtar. Samtidigt riskeras att de sätter sina egna intressen framför bolagets. Det har därför länge antagits att bolagsföreträdarna omfattas av ett sysslomannaliknande ansvar som medför en plikt att vara lojal mot bolaget och att sätta bolagets intresse framför sitt eget. Flera aktörer har ett intresse i att bolagsledningen även agerar i enlighet med denna lojalitetsplikt. Frågan är dock vilka lojalitetsplikten avser att skydda och vilka som kan göra sin rätt gällande då bolagsföreträdarna brutit mot lojalitetsplikten.

Hunting ground graves were distinguished as a separate category during the 1930s.         There is however no clear definition of what a hunting ground grave is. They have been constructed over a large area over a long period of time (200 BC-1200 AD) and their morphology varies.This paper investigates how the archaeologists have discussed the hunting ground graves since they were distinguished as a separate category until today. It investigates what concepts that have been used to define and categorize the graves as a group. It also investigates if the choices of concepts are depending on a broader societal perspective.To find the answers to these questions two surveys have been done.

Företags ansvar för sin omvärld är ett högaktuellt ämne som diskuteras i media och i företag. Hållbarhetsarbete är något som stora företag förväntas syssla med och företagets varumärke påverkas i allt större grad av dess hållbarhetsarbete. Utvecklingen av nya kommunikationsvägar, som internet, mobilt bredband och sociala medier, har inneburit att kraven på transparens hos företag har ökat och det upplevs som tvivelaktigt om företagen inte kommunicerar sitt ansvarstagande externt. Svårigheten med hållbarhetskommunikation är att nå ut med vad företaget gör så att den bild som skapas i så stor utsträckning som möjligt stämmer med verkligheten, och inte uppfattas som ett förskönande åtagande. Syftet med denna studie är att skapa förståelse för hur kopplingen mellan hållbarhet, kommunikation och varumärke ser ut samt identifiera framgångsfaktorer för att skapa ett hållbart varumärke.

The purpose of this study is to examin the depiction of culturalmeetings in history books in relatioon to the schoolguidelines, and how and why the description may have changed over time. To achieve this, a qualitative method was used to analyze the content of cultural meetings in Swedish schoolbooks after the World War II. The material used in the study was taken from eight editions of Alla tiders historia published between 1985-2011. The material was then put together and analyzed from the theoretical perspectives, which try to explain the factors that influenced the depiction of the texts.The results of this study shows, that over time, the school guidelines have incresed their focus on human value and the need for students to interact with people from other cultures. The depictions in the history books lives upp to the demands of the school guidelines, but this study shows that the main influence of the content of the book is the social context.
