This study sets out to investigate the social significance and political use of three historical places, from the theoretical starting points of landscape, objects, society and rituals. The Teutoburger Forest in North Germany has had an international effect, being a german national icon during the reformation and through two world wars, Old Uppsala is a place of great importance for the creation and reproduction of Swedish national identity during several hundred years, and Eketorp ring fort on Öland in Sweden is of more regional importance. All these places have been used for social and political reasons through history. History can be used in a constructive or a destructive way. This study stresses the importance of a critical scientific tradition..

This masters thesis is a study of how the expression quality literature is used in widespread newspapers and magazines. Wittgensteins idea of language games is used as a theoretical starting point. The analysis of 37 articles draws a picture of five language games that are called; the taking over, the polarising, the example giving, the gender critical and the ironic language game. The expression that quality literature is most often put in relation to is popular literature. The line between the two is sometimes distinctly drawn in the articles and sometimes quite vague.

Title: Access to cultural education in a multi-ethnical context.The right to dance and play an instrument, to paint and work with film is taken for granted by many children in Malmoe today. The agenda explicitely phrases the intent of the publicly financed schools of art for children to reflect the multi-ethnic demographics of the city. Public community music schools of today, incorporate classes in all forms of art and are called "Culture schools". There is a long tradition of teaching and making music to lean on as a music teacher in Sweden. This paper tries to explore how these rights are expressed in the governing documents of the Culture school of Malmoe.

I förskolan möts ofta barn med språkstörningar och pedagogerna har ett ansvar att arbeta förebyggande med språket för att motverka språkstörning. Genom rätt stimulans kan barnets utveckling förbättras. Syftet med detta arbete är att synliggöra vilka möjligheter och svårigheter det finns i arbetet med barn med språkstörningar. Vi har genom kvalitativa intervjuer med verksamma pedagoger försökt undersöka dessa barns situation i förskolan. För att kunna avläsa barns situation behöver man se vilka kunskaper pedagogerna har om språket och dess betydelse.

I dagens samhälle är det inte ovanligt att man under någon period i livet varit arbetslös. Har man inte varit det själv finns det förmodligen någon i ens närhet som är eller har varit arbetslös. I detta examensarbete har jag fördjupat mig i hur man uppfattar sin situation som arbetslös då man är över 45 år. Det övergripande syftet med studien är att öka förståelsen för hur äldre uppfattar och hanterar situationen som arbetslös. I min studie har jag använt mig av en kvanlitativt inriktad analysmetod som heter fenomenografi.

Science has shown that siblings to children with a disability are affected by the family situation. The siblings often let their own needs and requests come secondary to their family members. This study illustrates how different professionals, who keep in contact with families with a disabled child, works with its siblings. The purpose with this study was to see how professionals, working as administrators, counselors at the habilitation and kin supporters in the region of Kalmar, include siblings while working with the families. Representatives from the professionals have been interviewed with a semi structured interview manual.The result showed that professionals have various opinions how siblings are affected by the family situation.

Competition is keen in the fashion industry of today. Homogenous products and prices aredriving competition and most firms are struggling hard to attract customers. Brands havebecome one of the most important assets for success and are often critical for the choices of theconsumers. A strong brand is often considered as a substantial value in the eyes of the consumerand gives the individual firm a competitive advantage in the marketplace. To build a strongbrand it takes that the brand identity not is in conflict with the brand image of a firm or a product.Sometimes one of these conflicts exit and sometimes the firms are not even aware of it.In this thesis we study how two firms, Lindex and Prada, perceive their own image and then wecompare how the images of the firms are perceived by the customers.

Every year, more than 300 riders are seriously injured and over 40 die in road accidents. Being found in time is critical to increase the chance of survival. The goal of this project is to use design methods to find a solution that enables a fast and adequate emergency response for motorcyclists and other unprotected road users..

Syftet med studien var att beskriva arbetsterapeuters erfarenheter av att främja aktivitet hos personer med långvarig smärta. Den undersökta gruppen bestod av sex arbetsterapeuter med 3-27 års erfarenhet av att arbeta på en smärtenhet i Sverige. Arbetsterapeuterna intervjuades med utgångspunkt i ett klientfall då de känt sig kompetenta som arbetsterapeut. Intervjuutskrifterna analyserades sedan utifrån en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Analysen utmynnade i fyra kategorier: ?samarbete med patienten är en förutsättning för ett gott resultat?: ?patientens aktivitetssituation behöver medvetandegöras?: ?patienten behöver lära sig leva med sin smärta? och ?en komplex situation kräver samverkan mellan olika aktörer?.

Arbetslösheten är ett stort problem i dagens samhälle både för samhället och för flertalet av dem som hamnar utanför arbetsmarknaden. Det finns både fördomar och myter om hur de arbetslösas situation ser ut och hur denna grupp upplever sin situation. Forskning visar på att de arbetslösas upplevelser påverkas starkt av ekonomisk påfrestning och skamgörande erfarenheter bland flera andra påverkande faktorer.Syftet i studien är att undersöka hur ett antal arbetslösa ungdomar upplever sin situation och vilka konsekvenser arbetslösheten har för dem. Dessutom har studien som syfte att skapa en inblick i och förståelse för vad det är som gör att arbetslösa ungdomar upplever sin situation så olika ifrån individ till individ.Genom en kvalitativ studie med en explorativ ansats har fem arbetslösa ungdomar mellan 22-30 år blivit intervjuade. Dessa intervjuer har med hjälp av sociologiska utgångspunkter så som Jahodas teori om manifesta och latenta funktioner av arbetet, Ezzys tre huvudtyper av reaktioner på arbetslöshet samt Starrins ekonomi-skam modell skapat en större förståelse för de arbetslösa ungdomarnas upplevda konsekvenser av utanförskapet på arbetsmarknaden och hur det kommer sig att arbetslöshetens konsekvenser upplevs olika från individ till individ.

That parents should be a part in their children?s education is something that we educationalist wish for the future. Research show that if you have a good relation between parents and school, it can help a student's educational process. In this study I have concentrated on the Swedish minority group Roma. The study is qualitative and based on interviews with Roma.

In this project I have worked with creating a new kind of room in a hospital enviroment for children. The main purpose of the project has been to form a secure and positive experience for the patient while visiting a specific room at the department of childrens physiologi, at Drottning Silvias Children- and youth hospital in Gothenburg.The project was based on questions like how it is possible to move the focus from the unsecure and scary, to something secure and positive, when the patient is going through an testing situation.The target gruop included a wide age span (0-16 years old), therefore I have worked with a theme, H2O, that works for diffrent ages. In the room, I have applicated the theme in different levels that is changeable depending on the age of the patient.During the project I have presented my ideas for the staff at the hospital. We have discussed their problems, what they wish in their working enviroment and how they experience the situation for the patients. I have also asked the patients how they experience the specific room today.The result of the project is a visual idea of how you can create a room, that you don?t exepect to find in a hospital..

This thesis will deal with the development of the situation of the Roma minority in the Swedish school system in the period between 1954 to 2010, based on two Swedish Government Official Reports of the group's situation in the Swedish schools. The study is done by the report Zigenarfrågan (SOU 1956:43) and with the report Romers rätt (SOU 2010:55). The report Romers rätt was written by the Delegation for Roma issues and gives an updated picture of the situation of Roma in the Swedish school system. The state investigation Zigenarfrågan, is also important as the latter resulted in the Roma children enrolled in Swedish schools. This work will look at the various governmental investigations by the theory used for analysis called ?structural discrimination theory?.

Föreliggande systematiska litteraturstudies syfte var att beskriva anhörigas upplevelser och deras omvårdnadsbehov då en familjemedlem vårdades palliativt i hemmet, för att skapa en förståelse för vad sjuksköterskan kan bidra med. Sökord som valdes var palliative AND relative* AND home för insamling av vetenskapliga artiklar via fulltextdatabasen Electronic Library Information Navigator (ELIN) och databasen Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health (CINAHL). En systematisk kvalitetsgranskning gjordes på 15 vetenskapliga artiklar enligt modifierade kvalitetsgranskningsmallar efter förlagor av Forsberg och Wengström (2003) och Willman et al. (2006) och på basen av kvalitetsresultatet evidensgraderades de anhörigas till familjemedlem i det palliativa skedets omvårdnadsbehov. Tre omvårdnadsbehov som vilade på starkt vetenskapligt underlag framkom: att få professionellt stöd, att få avlastning som anhörig eller anhörigvårdare till en familjemedlem som vårdas palliativt i hemmet och att få information och undervisning om familjemedlemmens situation.
