The socialdemokrats? long possession of government power from the 1930?s to 1976 gave them the opportunity to put their stamp on Swedish domestic and foreign affairs in the shadow of the cold war. The government policy in security and foreign affairs, therefore, was that of the socialdemokratic party. The stance of the government has been researched, but it lacks focus on the opposition. The purpose of this paper is to analyse Folkpartiet´s view of security and foreign affairs in comparison with government policy.

Since the 9/11-attacks several nations have been confronted with a new international threat, its nature traces back to the political- and religious- radical movements of the 20th century Cold War. Ever since, various states have been under threat by terrorist organizations around the world due to mainly participating in worldwide counter-terrorist interventions created by western alliances. In Sweden, amongst other countries, the state took security-precautions that would imply total control of information throughout the territorial borders. The assigned proposition was accepted by the Swedish parliament in June 18th 2008, after this date wild spread criticism was still in effect ever since the Swedish government first publicly announced the proposition in May 8th 2007. This study emphasizes on understanding why the Swedish government chose to present this proposition to parliament, in order to complete this task the study will present the motives and the alleged threats that were the core of the proposition and its value-maximizing goal of creating a new surface for Swedish homeland security.

AbstractThis degree project focuses on the questions how teachers´ within the four socially oriented subjects? history, geography, religion and social science use the textbook, and their attitudes towards textbooks. The method used in this project was interviews with teachers. Previous research shows that teachers use the textbook to a great extent. Studies also show that teachers? way of educating depends upon their individual educational attitudes.

The Swedish mental hospitals existed for about one hundred years, the period around 1880-1980. The research is intended to be from a local setting perspective to study the local approach used to meet requirements from Furunäsets mental hospital principals 1960 - 1972, the effect this had on the care and treatment of mentally ill patients and how Swedish society's changing approach to mental health influenced the process. The results of the research showed that Furunäset searched for ways to meet the principals' requirements which often went against the patients? personal best. Furunäsets mental hospital strove to fulfill its institutional goals in them selves rather than giving patients the care and treatment they needed.

När en närstående går bort väcker detta många känslor hos de drabbade och det blir även en stor omställning i deras liv. Hur de drabbade upplever det som hänt beror mycket på åldern, kön, hälsa, personlighet, om man varit med om något liknande förut, civilstånd, stöd från andra personer, religion och kultur. Syftet med studien var att belysa mötets betydelse mellan vårdpersonal och personer som mist en närstående i samband med sjukhusvistelse. När en person går bort under sjukhusvistelse är mötet med personalen viktigt för de närstående och deras fortsatta sorgeprocess. Studien har genomförts som en litteraturstudie.

Syftet med detta arbete har varit att titta närmare på vilka morfologiska och syntaktiska avvikelser som förekommer i uppsatser skrivna av tysk- respektive engelsktalande studenter som har läst svenska motsvarande nivå A1 på universitetet. Detta för att se om avvikelserna kan förklaras med hjälp av den typologiska markeringsgraden av de grammatiska strukturerna. I undersökningen användes en analysmetod som grundar sig i markeringsdifferentialhypotesen (MDH). MDH kan hjälpa lärare att förutspå och förstå eventuella svårigheter vid inlärningen av ett främmande språk. I föreliggande undersökning analyserades de avvikande grammatiska strukturerna, en till varje struktur motsvarande korrekt svensk fras och en översättning av strukturen till tyska respektive engelska.

Religionsfriheten är en viktig del i ett demokratiskt samhälle. Religionen har funnits länge och individerna har kunnat identifiera sig själva med att vara en del av den grupp de tillhör. Eftersom religionsfriheten är grundlagsskyddad i Sverige är det viktigt att individerna är fria i sin religionsutövning och inte stöter på motstånd som inte är skyddad i lag. Jag har valt att beakta hur religionsfriheten är i det svenska arbetslivet samt i vissa EU-länder. Har också riktat blicken mot Europakonventionens artiklar och iakttagit hur de har påverkat EU-ländernas hantering av religionsfriheten.

This essay studies what has been written about religious experience and visions both in the past and now. It deals with both the religious experience and tries to explain how and if there is any place in the modern society for religious visions and experience. The essay has a strong theoretical perspective to psychology of religion as presented by Anton Geels whose writings in the subject have been of one of my main sources.The study shows that people of all times and cultures have had religious visions and the feeling of a divine experience even if this has changed because of tradition, time and place. Religious experience and visions can furthermore occur both in a spontaneous, unprepared way as well as being cultured through ascetic practice in order to facilitate the divine reception. The study also shows that religious experience in no means is reserved for special ?chosen ones? but can occur to each and every one, no matter what class, race or position in life.

The purpose of this Master?s thesis is to study how university teachers look upon information literacy, what they consider the professional role of the academic librarian and how they value cooperation between the two professions. The methodology is based on qualitative interviews and is inspired by phenomenography. A limited number of qualitative interviews has been carried out in order to describe the attitudes and opinions of the university teachers related to my issue. I have also used the results of two theoreticians, Monica Hansen and Berth Danermark, who have studied cooperation between different professional groups.

The purpose of this essay was to examine the role of religious beliefs, actions and practice in young people's own description of their identity. An additional goal was to examine how young people describe their identity in relation to their primary and secondary socialization. A qualitative method was used with semi - structured interviews and six young people between the ages of 18 and 23 were interviewed.            The interview results show that three out of the six young people think of themselves as religious while the remaining three emphasize that they are secularized Muslims. The results also show that the young people emphasize that the celebration of feasts in the family is the main focus.  Four out of the six young people point out that they are themselves among friends, their families and in the mosque, while the remaining two feel a communion with their Muslim friends and people in the mosque.       Three out of the six young people consume alcohol and eat pork, while the remaining three refrain from this. The young people emphasize that their beliefs are a personal matter between themselves and God, and that their actions don't define them as being Muslims or non-Muslims..

Syftet med vår uppsats är att intervjua ungdomar som har en utländsk bakgrund, tjejer och killar i 18-års ålder på en gymnasieskola i Malmö. Vi vill studera hur de tänker, resonerar och förhåller sig kring frågor som har med sexualitet och intima relationer att göra. Detta genomfördes med en kvalitativstudie och den grundas på sju ungdomar. För att analysera vår empiri har vi använt oss av sociologen Anthony Giddens perspektiv på den moderna synen på sexualitet och kärleksideologin. Sedan även av Nader Ahmadi som diskuterar föräldrarnas svårigheter till att komma till en ny omgivning och möta en ny attityd till sex och Pierre Bourdieu begrepp, habitus.

Linda Larsson (2010)Syftet med uppsatsen är att göra en litteraturstudie och genom den försöka se om det finns någon koppling mellan islam och terrorism. Jag skall se på vad andra forskare skrivit om ämnet och se ur vilka aspekt de tagit upp mina valda frågeställningar. Jag har valt att ha 11 september och den terrorattack som skedde då samt den massmediala bevakningen av denna händelse som utgångspunkt för min uppsats. Det jag kommer fram till är att religionen som enskild faktor inte ligger bakom terrorismen men att den sammankopplad med sociala, politiska och ekonomiska faktorer faktiskt inverkar. Dessa faktorer påverkar varandra och kan tillsammans utgöra en negativ grundstomme för terrorismen.Islamism och terrorism, En kvalitativ studie av sambandet mellan religionen islam och terrorismen i världen: C-uppsats, religionsvetenskap.

I den här uppsatsen tänker jag reda ut det epistemologiska begreppet a priori. Att det är ett epistemologiskt begrepp innebär att det handlar om kunskap. Den här kunskapen kan uttryckas i satser. Sådana satser är satser som vi har a priorisk kunskap om. Exempel på vad man brukar kalla a prioriska satser är: ?inget kan vara helt täckt av rött samtidigt som det är helt täckt av grönt? och ?om A kommer före B och B kommer före C så kommer A före C? eller mer metafysiska utsagor som ?ett fysiskt objekt kan inte vara på två ställen vid samma tidpunkt? och ?alla effekter måste ha en orsak?, men som främsta exempel brukar man tala om logiska eller matematiska utsagor.

In January 2004 two members of the Pentecostal community Knutby Filadelfia in Uppsalamunicipality, Sweden, were shot by their fellow member Sara Svensson. With a qualitative hermeneutic case study as the principal method this essay takes on the task of not only investigating if and how Stockholm Syndrome can be used as a model for interpreting and understanding the violent incident in Knutby Filadelfia, but also to see if the unique characteristic of the Knutby incident can tell us something about Stockholm Syndrome as a model for understanding violence in religious movements. The material shows Stockholm Syndrome as having been present in Knutby because of among other things, a mileu, leadership and theology that supported the normalization of abuse and the enabling and maintaining of self punishment in the community. While Stockholm Syndrome still is a controversial theory this study shows that it can be used as a powerful tool in the understanding of violence in religious contexts..

The aim of this study is to describe ideas put forward by Sweden Democrats (Swedish: Sverigedemokraterna) about Christianity in Sweden and the Church of Sweden as a Folk Church, a church for a whole people, and how the political party uses Christianity as a part of constructing a Swedish identity. The investigation is based on official documents, newspaper articles, statements and political motions which are analysed using a form of text analysis called idea analysis. The theoretical frame of the investigation is founded on Claire Mitchell?s theory about religious content in ethnic identities and Einar Billing?s and Johan Alfred Eklund?s thoughts about what makes the Church of Sweden a Folk Church.The investigation shows, among other things, that the Sweden Democrats? view of the Church of Sweden is similar to the thoughts of Eklund but they differ in their lack of references to theology. The investigation also shows that Christianity serves as an important marker for the Sweden Democrats in creating a Swedish identity. .
