The purpose of this paper was to study how the death is described in some books for children and how the books may affect the readers. I chose five books where the leading character was a child who lost a close relative like a parent or a sibling. I asked the book questions like you would do at an interwiew.The main questions were:· What do the children think about the death?· How does the child react when it finds out that a parent or a sibling is dead?· What does the child think about seeing the dead person and how does it react at the funeral?· From what or whom do they find the strength to move on?· What support does the child have from people in the surroundings?· How may the books affect the readers?The results showed that the books give you an image close to the reality. The children had different ways to mourn.

Fotbollsdomare utsätts för en mängd olika stressorer. De använder sig av olika copingstrategier för att klara av dessa. Domare får utstå både knuffar, sparkar, slag och dödshot. Motivationen till att trots allt fortsätta döma har visat sig ligga i kärleken till sporten. Det saknas dock kvalitativ forskning inom området.

I have studied how network in a broad sense can affect decision-making. The primary purpose is to see if the political initiative somewhere disappears when it comes to understand the relations between power, actors and politics. The study discuss in a theoretical area that concerns the reliability in neoinstitutionalism to use as an analytical instrument. Some criticism is given to the theoretical standpoint in the sense that there is no power perspective included in the theory. I include a discussion about a concept of power, which I include to the theory.

This paper studies the fragmentation and reuse of early christian monuments ("eskilstunakistor") in churches in Östergötland during the medieval period. This is found to have been done in two stages. The first stage shows a collectivization of society. Within religion the change from ancestoral cult towards the saints' cult is important as the fragments are reused like relics. During the second stage the collectivization has been fulfilled, and the reuse is instead part of the christian churches' strategy for incorporating old powerful symbols from the landscape into their own church building..

This essay is investigating what type of sources we trust, depending on how the information in these sources is created and provided. To exemplify, the sources Wikipedia and Nationalencyklopedin (the Swedish National Encyclopedia) were used, each one representing different approaches. The first is a representation of the collective intelligence, where anyone can contribute with their knowledge to the public ? freedom under responsibility. The latter represents peer-reviewed knowledge, desirable enough to have people paying for it? true and unaffected.Based on theories of source criticism, collective intelligence, expertise and the different generations of digital natives and digital immigrants, two focus groups were conducted and analysed.

Vårt övergripande syfte har varit att studera om pedagogerna lever upp till att arbeta jämställt. För att kunna undersöka detta har vi att ställt oss följande frågor: ? Finns det skillnader i hur mycket tidsmässigt utrymme pedagogen ger tjejer respektive killar? ? Kan de pedagoger vi studerat sägas bidra till att upprätthålla den genuskontrakten som finns mellan könen? ? Vilka skillnader och likheter finns mellan de två ämnena historia och religion, baserat på ovanstående frågeställningar? Vår metod har baserat sig på primärt en kvantitativ undersökning där vi undersökt hur mycket tidsutrymme eleverna får i klassrummet men även en kvalitativ del där vi analyserat detta utifrån ett könsperspektiv. Vi har studerat två ämnen, historia och religion, på två olika gymnasieskolor, med sammanlagt 4 olika pedagoger. Urvalet gällande undersökningsklasser har varit slumpmässiga.

Childhood as a social category is under strucural redefinition. In this thesis the child and childhood are understood as socially constructed phenomenons. Focus is laid upon the construction of the concept ?in the best interest of the child? wich in The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child is defined as beeing the foremost important view to take into account when decisions wich affect children are made. As the thesis shows, a concrete and universall view of the best interest of the child is lacking in practice and would in many cases be unfortunate.

Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka och belysa problematiken med skilda förklaringar av sekulariseringens orsaker och förståelsen av begreppet sekularisering som finns i ett vetenskapligt och vardagligt sammanhang. Svaren som jag har fått fram är att det på ytan ser ut som att informanterna och religionssociologerna har ett relativt lika synsätt. Det är först när du tittar närmare och verkligen tolkar texterna som du kan urskilja de stora skillnaderna och att de ligger i perspektivet hos den som berättar. Informanterna upplever förändringarna inifrån och är direkt påverkade av det som sker och är en del av det. Religionssociologerna å sin sida är åskådare, de ser det som sker över en längre tid och kan jämföra på ett helt annat sätt..

Men's violence against women is an issue that exists all over the world. There are several scientists and organisations that work with this issue in one way or another. In Sweden an organisation called ROKS, and a scientist called Eva Lundgren, has been in the limelight for medias attention several times. The impression has been given that Eva Lundgren is a very controversial scientist and that her research is very different from other research about men's violence against women.The aim with this essay is therefore foremost to look at research from different scientists and compare them to Eva Lundgrens research. I found three so called levels about why men use violence against women.

Uppsatsen behandlar konfirmationen inom Svenska kyrkan och dess förändrade teologiska betydelse. Materialet sträcker sig från handboken 1942 till det senaste nytrycket av "Riktlinjer för Svenska kyrkans konfirmandarbete" år 2000 och utgörs av i första hand kyrkans offentliga dokument.

Studien avser att ge en bild av hur samtal om gudsrelation hanteras i psykoterapi. Data samlades in genom en fokusgrupp och 13 intervjuer. Urvalet bestod av terapeuter och själavårdare med erfarenhet av att samtala om gudsrelation med konfidenter. Materialet analyserades med en modifierad version av Consensual Qualitative Research. Analysen gav sju kategorier som beskrivs ingående: Förekomst, Initiering, Samtalens karaktär och behandlarens förhållningssätt, Behandlarens strategier och arbetssätt, Relevans, Möjliga vinster och risker samt Metanivå.

With increasing wine consumption and a growing assortment at available to Swedish consumers, there is an interest in understanding the decision making process of Swedish wine consumers. In this thesis the expert phenomenon is studied with respect to wine through wine critic reliability: grading objectivity, understanding the process of wine criticism and possible critic influence on consumer behavior. Two studies were performed; a qualitative in-depth session of interviews with industry connoisseurs and a quantitative analysis of 589 online wine reviews. Our results indicate that wine reviews are highly subjective and defy prediction through analysis of external variables. Critics are likely to judge differently based on what information they have at hand, suggesting that expectations affect grading.

In the aftermath of three high-profile honor killings the social service administrators became strongly criticized for their lack of skills and knowledge when it comes to dealing with honorrelated cases. In order to fix this lack of knowledge and to respond to the criticism from the society, the Swedish government allocated resources to train administrators in social services to improve their knowledge of honor-related violence and know how to handle clients who are victims of honor-related crimes.The aim of this study is to examine how social service administrators perceive their professional knowledge regarding to their work in honor-related cases. How they perceive their competence and discretion in relation to the work of honor-related problems and their perception of what resources the organization has to provide training and skill development in this area. The study shows that the social service administrators experience that there has been a development of knowledge in some areas regarding their work with honor-related cases but that there still exists an uneven distribution in terms of knowledge between small and large communities in Sweden..
