Denna studie unders?ker vilka regler som finns vid m?ltidssituationen p? olika f?rskolor, vad de grundar sig i samt pedagogers uppfattningar kring dessa och hur makt anv?nds f?r att uppr?tth?lla eller f?r?ndra reglerna kring m?ltidssituationen. I styrdokument som ?L?roplan f?r f?rskolan? (Lpf?18, 2018) saknas riktlinjer f?r m?ltidssituationer vilket kan leda till os?kerhet kring hur de kan se ut. ?r reglerna outtalade och grundade i f?rskoll?rarens egna uppfattningar och normer eller gemensamt best?mda i f?rskolan? Genom en kvalitativ unders?kning med fr?gelista som metod visar resultatet att reglerna varierar fr?n f?rskola till f?rskola och att de innefattar b?de hur barnen f?r bete sig, vad som ska ligga p? tallriken, att det m?ste smakas och att barnen m?ste v?nta p? varandra innan de f?r g? fr?n matbordet.

The web sites of libraries are to a large extent their public face and to help market their services, the web sites must have interesting and regularly renewed content. They must also be visually attractive and easily used, and thus be well structured and have a well functioning navigational system. The web masters' awareness of the ability of web sites to attract users to the site and also to the library, as well as their knowledge of suitable content and site construction, is crucial for how successful the web site actually is at marketing the library. The research question is: How do the studied web sites function as marketing sources and service providers for the libraries, and are the web masters aware of the importance of the web site? The purpose is to investigate how the library personnel looks upon the web site as a possible way to increase the popularity of the library among the public, and to study the construction and content of the library web sites to find out how well these serve their purpose.

The aim with this Master's thesis is to study the debate that takes place in the local community when a public library branch is threatened by closedown through the local newspapers. Through this it is our aim to understand why the debate takes place, and why so many people gets concerned with it. By relating this debate to contemporary research of library- and information science, and the discussion in three major Swedish library journals, we have found the answers to these questions. By studying the debate, we found six subjects that where essential for this study. These were Politics and economics, Urban and rural districts, Democracy and accessibility, The service of the library, The meeting place and To replace a closed down library.

The purpose of this master?s thesis is to examine the activity at the library and preschool at Kristineberg (a part of the town of Borås) and its underlying approach. How do the activities agree with the ideological attitudes of the 1970s? To answer these questions I have carried out a case study based on qualitative interviews. The theoretical background includes ideas of the library, the community center and the cultural activity at the library.

The purpose of this thesis is to study the attitude towardscomics among librarians as well as their personal image ofthe overall attitude towards comics among librarians and themanner in which the attitude of the librarians affects how thecomics are treated in the library.I have performed this study with a qualitative approach andhave interviewed a total of five librarians working in twodifferent libraries.I have founded the theoretical base for my research in anumber of historical attitudes towards comics and thencompared these attitudes towards the answers given in theinterviews as well as prior research found in three theseswritten by Magnus Johansson, Sarah Johansson and KarinEsaiasson.The results of the study is that traces of most of thehistorical attitudes can be found among all of the interviewedlibrarians but that none of them are harboring any negativeattitudes towards comics themselves. On the other hand thestudy does imply that the image of the librarian who onlythinks that comics are meant for children is still very muchalive in the collective subconscious of the librarians.The study also shows that while librarians of today tend tohave a neutral outlook in comics the historically subpartreatment of comic in the libraries and the subsequent lack ofacademic support on the subject have made it necessary forthe librarian in charge of the comic-section to have apersonal interest/liking for comics to be able to do a goodjob..

The aim of this Master's thesis is to examine and analyze what discourses about children that can be found in three Swedish culture publications, and also to identify the different social roles that are attributed to children in these publications. The theoretical and methodological background is discourse theory, as described by Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe. Additional theory used is social constructionism and Norman Fairclough?s critical discourse theory. Three questions are asked: What discourse/s can be found in these publications? What do these discourses tell us about the view on children within the library domain? What social roles are attributed to the children in the texts and what consequences do these have for the power configuration between children and adults? Furthermore there is a discussion concerning what effects these discourses might have on the direct and indirect reception of children in the library.

Syftet med vår studie är att medvetandegöra och uppmärksamma betydelsen av olika faktorers påverkan när det gäller att ge skönlitteraturen en plats i skolan samt att synliggöra konsekvenserna av detta ur ett elevperspektiv. Vår frågeställning är; Vilka faktorer anser lärarna i vår undersökning påverkar arbetet med skönlitteratur i skolan? Metod: Vi valde att göra en kvantitativ undersökning genom att dela ut enkäter till verksamma lärare i grundskolan. Anledningen till det var att vi ville nå ut till ett större antal lärare och få ett bredare undersökningsmaterial. Eftersom vi inte var intresserade av människors upplevelse av ett fenomen valde vi bort intervjuer som metod.

The background is anincreasing lending of e-books in public libraries, with anacquisition model formed when e-books were more of anexperiment in a few libraries.

This report is a description of a developed educational simulator over rail vehicles and its components. The simulator is a hardware-based prototype over a door system on rail vehi- cles. System specialists and technicians will use the prototype. The Simulator should give the user a technical demonstration on how components work in a door system. The proto- type consists of motor, switch, relay and sensor.
