The aim of this study was to examine sexual behavior, contraceptive use, self-rated health, lifestyle factors and the prevalence of HPV vaccination among last year high school students. The study was a quantitative cross-sectional study which was a substudy of the longitudinal study " Pornography, Youth and Health". Results showed that the majority of students had had sexual intercourse (75 %, n=524) and both performed (67 %, n=479) and received oralsex (70 %, n=498). Forty percent (n=282) of the students had had one night stand, a quarter (n=159) anal sex and 29 (n=202) percent sex with a friend. The contraceptive use increased from the first to the last intercourse while the use of condoms decreased.

This paper aims to describe and elaborate on a recent discursive change within the new-age movement. Since the seventies and the publishing of speculative popular science books like The Tao of Physics by Fritjof Capra and The self-aware universe by Amit Goswami, the idea that quantum physics resonates with spirituality has become the topic of hundreds of books and movies.The quantum-spiritual discourse has three distinct ways to approach quantum physics in its discussion on spirituality: The parallelistic approach which emphasizes the similarities between eastern philosophies and modern physics, the monistic-idealistic approach which tells us that mind is the foundation of matter and the scientific spiritual approach which tries to explain spiritual claims scientifically. In the quantum-spiritual discourse, quantum physical phenomena (e.g. non-locality and entanglement) are being called upon to validate metaphysical statements. The primary assumption of the discourse is that the shift of paradigm due to the establishment of modern physics also is a shift of paradigm of spirituality.With the object to examine the common claims made in the discourse, cross-references between spiritual arguments and facts of quantum physics are being made.

Det finns, och kommer att finnas, olika sätt att arbeta som KME-lärare beroende på vem man är, vilka intressen man har, vad man vill, vilket sammanhang man söker sig till eller hamnar i. Varje blivande KME-lärare behöver bena upp vad kunskapsområdet KME kan betyda i den pedagogiska verksamheten och ett examensarbete ger utrymme för en sådan fördjupad undersökning. Vad finns det för innehåll i begreppen kultur, medier, estetik? (www.mah.se, c) Huvudämnet Kultur, Medier, Estetiska uttrycksformer är en ny inriktning på Lärarutbildningen, Malmö högskola, och vi är två studenter som avslutar vår sista termin på denna utbildning. För att få en större förståelse för vad begreppen kultur, medier, estetiska uttrycksformer kan innefatta, och även frihet, individ/ kollektiv och identitet, har vi valt att fokusera vårt examensarbete på dessa begrepp.

BakgrundAtt söka information på Internet blir allt vanligare i skolan, då datorn och dess sökfunktioner har blivit ett verktyg för att hitta information. Då kunskapsutbudet som finns tillgängligt på Internet både är brett och föränderligt, måste eleven ha kompetensen att välja informationskällor och kritiskt granska sina val för att finna tillförlitlig information. Skolan har i och med den nya läroplanen Lgr 11 större ansvar för elevernas kompetensutveckling gällande källkritiskt perspektiv och hantering av digital information.SyfteSyftet med vår studie är att ta reda på vilka val elever gör då de söker information på Internet och varför de gör dessa val. Syftet är även att ta reda på pedagogernas tankar kring elevernas informationssökning i undervisningen.MetodVi har gjort en fenomenografisk studie där vi har använt oss av intervjuer för att ta reda på hur tjugofyra elever gjorde när de sökte information på Internet, vilka val de gjorde samt vad som låg till grund för dessa val. Vi intervjuade även sju lärare för att ta reda på deras tankar kring Internet som sökverktyg.ResultatEleverna berättar hur de kan värdera en källas trovärdighet, men tillämpar inte dessa strategier i lika stor utsträckning.

The waste fractions offered to households in Sweden differ depending on where you live. The responsibility for the waste are grounded by the Swedish law where the municipality are responsible for the collection of household waste and FTI are responsible for collecting all packages and papers that the households sorts out. A new waste regulation is under consideration where the responsibility for the household waste may change. The bulky waste from households is collected at recycling centers where the households leave it in different containers for different fractions. These recycling centers are formed different and the fractions offered in them also differ depending on in what municipality they are located.

The work place is becoming more flexible and an increasing number of employees report to a leader in another location or country. The borders between different countries, work places and cultures are diminished to a greater extent than before.

A fauna passage is a way for animals to cross roads separated from the traffic. In Sweden, there are an unknown number of passages with different functions and appearances. These passages would, with the question ?Which fauna passages can be found in Sweden, and how well do they work?? as a base, be compiled in a comparable way. This would be done with a number of questions asked to the different regions of Vägverket.

Detta är en studie som behandlar hur väl kvalitén i trädet tas tillvara för sortimenten limträ och KL-trä. Limträ består av ett antal lameller som limmas samman med fibrerna i längdriktningen medan KL-trä är en krysslimmad skiva som består av en mängd sammansatta lameller. Trä är ett heterogent material som har skilda egenskaper beroende på var och hur det växt. Genom att sätta samman heterogena trälameller vill man skapa en homogenare produkt. Eftersom att produkterna används inom olika områden kan man tänka sig att det går att optimera användandet av råvaran till respektive produkt.

The Arctic region is rich in natural resources such as oil, gas, minerals and fish. Climate change causes the Arctic ice melt, making resource extraction possible as well as opening up new transport routes through the Northwest Passage and the Northeast Passage. This has led to competition and cross-border strife among the Arctic States. The two largest states in the Arctic are Russia and Canada, which are also members of the Arctic Council. Russia and Canada are at the moment involved in several disputes regarding the Arctic territory where the ownership of the North Pole is one example.

Det här kandidatarbetet har skett på uppdrag av ett av IT-konsultbranschens mest framgångsrika företag och har genomförts via Umeå Universitet. Företaget erbjuder drygt tio system och tjänster inom dokument- och ärendehantering, arkivering, e-tjänster, e-legitimation, integration, säkerhet och läkemedelsstatistik mot kunder främst inom den offentliga sektorn. Syftet med arbetet har varit att hjälpa dem med att utreda vad deras kunder har för behov av en kundportal. Vilken plattform som skulle vara bäst att tillämpa vid eventuell utveckling, vilka funktioner och lösningar som kan hjälpa till att förbättra kommunikations- och informationsflöde samt hur detta på bästa sätt kan kopplas ihop med befintligt ärendehanteringssystem och infrastruktur.Arbetet började med en kvalitativ studie tillsammans med fyra av deras största kunder och en kvalitativ studie med anställda på företaget. Studiernas syfte var att spegla kundernas behov av förbättringar i nuvarande kommunikations- och informationsflöde, för om det inte finns behov av förbättring så finns det inte heller behov av en förändring.Resultatet speglade på att en förändring, inom en snar framtid, bör ske då företaget redan nu smått börjat påverkas av deras snabbt växande kundkrets.

This Master's thesis examines some aspects of children's books for 9-12 year olds, and the children's books market, from a gender perspective. The main objective is to make a gender analysis of attitudes among children and other agents in the book market towards children's books of different qualities. Children's reflections on gender roles in the books and the importance of gender aspects for publishers in the field, are investigated. A combination of methods are used, including literary analyses, surveys of publication lists of the BTJ group Bibliotekstjänst interviews with children and questionnaires sent to children as well as to Swedish publishers of children's books. The analysis of children's books clearly shows that images of gender roles vary in different kinds of books which supports theories of gendered literature.
