The purpose with this essay was to study and analyze how gender roles is represented in six different mathematic books for children in the third and fourth grade and to see if the books counteract or reinforces traditional gender roles. It was also to see if the mathematic books follow the goals in the curriculum. I had four questions that I focused on while analyzing the mathematic books:What kind of activities does girls and boys like in the exercises in the mathematic books?What does girls and boys own in the exercises in the mathematic books?What does the relationships look like between different persons in the mathematic books?Based on the results from questions 1-3, do these six mathematic books try to follow the curriculum?The results of this study shows that girls often can be interested in things that usually is seen as either girlish or boyish, while boys mostly is interested in things that is seen as boyish. I got almost the same results when it comes to the second question, girls can buy things that is often seen as either girlish or boyish, while boys mostly buy things that is seen as boyish.

The purpose of this study is to use a qualitative method to investigate the Swedish curriculums of 1919, 1962 and 2011 in search of attitudes and different usages of the popular culture of the time. To reach these conclusions Antonio Gramsci?s theories about cultural hegemony have been applied to prove how the superior classes, in this study these classes are represented by the Swedish school as an institution, use popular culture to maintain sovereignty of the lower classes. Ergo the problem highlighted in this study is whether the cultural class society exists in a fixed state since the 1919?s with the school as the institution to implement the tradition of cultural hegemony.

PÄ Trafikverkets centrala funktion IT anvÀnds Team Foundation Server 2010 för projekthantering. UtifrÄn detta system det Àr det möjligt att fÄ fram mÀtetal som visar information om olika projekt. I denna fallstudie undersöks, med hjÀlp av intervjuer, vilka av dessa mÀtetal som kan anvÀndas för att visa en relevant bild av kvaliteten pÄ ett systemutvecklingsprojekt. En modell presenteras för hur olika mÀtetal skulle kunna vÀgas samman för att fungera som en siffra pÄ ett projekts kvalitet/hÀlsa. Till sist utvÀrderas om mÀtetal frÄn TFS Àr tillrÀckliga för att ge en bra bild av kvaliteten pÄ ett systemutvecklings-projekt.
