Anglosaxarna och Brittanien : Kulturell Identitet hos ett Migrerande Folk
Many questions are still left unanswered regarding the period c. 450-700 AD, when hordes of Anglo-Saxon migrants landed on the British Isles and by doing so made the starting point in the foundation of England. Who were these Germanic tribes? The theories of how the migration proceeded are today many. The two major theories today concerns whether it was a question of a mass migration or a gradual migration proceeded by smaller groups of military elite.
Den digitala bildkonstens representation av verkligheten : en konstruerad sådan
Jag har i min undersökning valt att gå in på djupet på tre konstnärer som verkar inom den dig-itala fotokonsten och som dels strävar efter att förmedla den problematik som ligger i det egna mediets förmåga att representera "verkligheten".Diskussionerna i början av min uppsats kommer bland annat behandla det förtroende man har haft och fortfarande delvis har kvar till fototekniken. Uppfattningen om att man med hjälp av denna lilla geniala fotografiapparatur skall kunna fånga "verkligheten" precis som den är, eftersom den till synes ser ut att göra det. Men istället handlar det mer om konstruktion av "verkligheten", baserad på fotografen själv eller den teknik han/hon har tillgång till.De tre konstnärerna jag har valt at utgå ifrån anser att det inte är möjligt att ge en hel och allmän bild av "verkligheten", utan snarare bara delar eller fragment ur denna.I min egen gestaltning har jag sedan utgått från konstnärernas filosofier för att kunna hitta mitt eget sätt att förmedla problematiken i mediet som representation av "verkligheten". Genom ett flertal fotografier som jag arbetade ihop i dataprogrammet Photoshop har jag sedan skapat min egen konstruktion av "verkligheten". Jag valde miljön skogen, och försökte återskapa den så som jag länge fått den konstruerad inom mig genom alla bilder som samlats med åren från exempelvis tidningar, television, eller konstutställningar.Undersökningens syfte är att hitta en metod som man kan låta eleverna ta efter där de får en möjlighet att pröva på hur det kan vara att göra sin egen konstruktion/representation av "verk-ligheten".Samtidigt som de undersöker hur andra konstnärer jobbar med detta och sedan att de själva får pröva (learning by doing), har de en möjlighet att få merförståelse för hur "verkligheten" kan konstrueras.
Idrottsprofilerad utbildning i gymnasieskolan : Lag- och individuella idrottares syn på idrott och utbildning i förhållande till social position och idrottshabitus
The purpose of the study is to illustrate the choices of sports profiled education amongst pupils in the upper secondary school. Special attention is brought to whether there exist any differences between team- and individual competitors in their view on sport and education. One hypothesis that constitutes the base of the study is that pupils from lower social class, in a higher extent, tend to be team competitors and choose sport activities prior education. The result has been interpreted against Bourdieu's cultural sociology, in which the central concepts are habitus and cultural- and economic capital. The method that has been used is quantitative in the form of a questionnaire study which 277 pupils have answered. The result shows that the sportsmen, regardless type of sport, are not influenced by social position regarding choice of education and in their view on education and studies.
Den manuella kontanthanteringen : Beslutet av en oförändrad affärsstrategi
The work aims to problemize and increase the understanding for the new labour market's flexible organising. By using Elias and Scotson's theory, the new organisational form of hiring doctors in healthcare will exemplify the developments taking place with many temporary jobs and how it affects the intrinsic structure of a work to be studied. The essay will focus on examining how the interaction affected between established nurses and new temporary doctors given the new form. How the interaction of the recently established group possesses a higher social-, economic- and cultural capital than the already established working group? The method is a qualitative study with three long and deep semi-structured interviews.
Utlägg för annans räkning : Ersättning för utlägg vid representation inom svenska verksamheter
Background: According to us, obtaining reimbursement of expenses in connection with a representation is a ?forgotten? process, and we therefore find it interesting to look further into. In some cases we have not claimed for compensation since we consider the process as too complicated or that we lost the original receipt. Ernst & Young (2009) say in their research that within the financial management area, Swedish operations loses billions of Swedish crowns due to bad routines. Okada and Hoch (2004) mention that if time were not considered as a resource, time would not be a hinder.
"Är jag smal så blir jag lycklig." : En kvalitativ studie om hur behandlingspersonal reflekterar kring sociala påverkansfaktorer till ätstörningar
The background of the study consists of the fact that knowledge about how eating disorders are developed and maintained is extensive. Socio-cultural factors and media influence when developing an eating disorder is of significance. When reviewing literature and previous research, knowledge about practical attainments when treating eating disorders are insufficient. The aim of the study was therefore to examine how staff who treats eating disordered patients think about body ideals, strive for success and media influence in treatment and rehabilitation. The theory consists of Foucault?s theory of power, how beauty ideals are dependent of the cultural context in which we live and what qualities are associated with beauty and body ideals.
Eftersom vi inte väljer våra föräldrar, hur väljer vi då till gymnasiet? : Hur den sociala bakgrunden påverkar niondeklassares val
The social imbalance recruitment has been a current topic for years. Since much research has focused on the higher education's problems with this, this thesis aims to investigate if you are already at the high school choice were influenced by your social background. To get a further dimension to this topic, the French sociologist Bourdieus thoughts on people's possession of, what he calls cultural capital was used, and we made use of it in the sense of parental education. Through a survey conducted in four ninth grades in two municipalities with different characteristics in terms of socio-economic conditions, we asked questions about their choice to high school. What programs did they choose? What factors were important? And which person had influenced them? The results showed a pretty clear dividing line between the pupils who came from homes with strong cultural capital to those who did not in the same sense.
På besök i medeltiden : att levandegöra historien på ett museum
Museums are a part of the cultural sector that over the last couple of years had to compete with the steadily growing consumption of spectacles. New techniques to attract and amaze the visitors have evolved. Living History Museums has developed a method to simulate past times by building up an environment with reconstructions. History is a non-definite science, there will never be an exact answer to how it really was, for example during the Middle Ages.This essay deals with the difference between reconstructions and authentic artefacts and how they build up an illusion of the past. In what sense does it matter if the artefacts are genuine or not? How do these museums deal with anachronistic phenomena from today's modern world in the historic environment? Additionally I discuss whether or not these reconstructions - of environment, buildings and personal characters - have any influence on the historic narrative given by the museum.

SJÄLVREFLEKTION ÖVER EN KRITISK HÄNDELSE, I EN NY KONTEXT : Kvalitativ självreflektionsstudie av två svenska sjukgymnaststudenters upplevelser av en kritisk händelse under verksamhetsförlagd utbildning på rehabiliteringscentrat Pina Palmera, Mexiko.
Physiotherapists treat people with different views of the world and medical beliefs, which require a good understanding of cultural differences. One way to achieve cultural understanding is through self-reflection in a new context. During five weeks the authors, two physiotherapy students, completed a clinical practice at the rehabilitation center Pina Palmera, Zipolite, Oaxaca, Mexico. At the beginning of the period a critical incident was chosen, when the head physiotherapist for the ward Cuidados Especiales intended to sell jewellery to the authors during a treatment of a patient. The authors have by using the reflection framework "Framework to guide reflective process", and Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) for analysis, discussed different ways of communication, adherence, education, and self-reflection and critical thinking.
Erfarenhet, föränderlighet och arv Gottfrid Adlerz. Om människans ursprung och striden om kulturvärdena
The purpose with this essay is to analyze Adlerz writing within the context of the fiery debate in the 1880?s between the liberal so called ?cultural radical? members of the student organization called Verdandi, and the conservative, uniform oskarian culture named after the Swedish king of the period. I have applied a version of Quentin Skinner?s method, which focuses on the context of a specific writing in order to find out the authors intention, the effect the author hoped to achieve. My questions regard certain themes I discovered in the text and, more importantly, the relationship between these themes and the surrounding debate.
Vad ?r en funktion?
The concept of function represents a major part of mathematics and becomes more significant
in school during high school. Throughout history, it has been a difficult concept to define and
may create challenges for contemporary students. This literature study aims to identify students'
difficulties with the concept of function, as well as to account for how the definition of a
function has evolved historically. The literature study has been conducted through database
searches in ERIC, Education Research Complete and MathSciNet via EBSCOhost, as well as
through chain searching. The study results in identifying that students' difficulties with the
concept of function primarily include the graphical and algebraic forms of representation.

"Det är inte bara folkvalda politiker som utövar offentlig makt" : En jämförande studie gällande främjande av integration i fem kommuner i Stockholms län
Based on different integration policies, we aim to examine how five municipalities in Stockholm County are working to promote integration at a local level with focus on voter participation and to some extent, representativeness among foreign-born. Statistics provided by SCB shows that foreign-born tends to vote to a lesser extent than those born in Sweden. Further, we aim to examine the implementation of two policy documents established at a national level concerning integration in contrast to policy documents established at a local level in each different municipality. Further, we aim to examine summaries of actions taken in response to the local integration programs, as well as personal interviews. Each municipality will be considered separately, but we thus seek to make a comparative study.
