Syftet med denna undersökning är att ta reda på hur lärare i gymnasieskolan arbetar med fiktioner av olika slag och om arbetssätten skiljer sig åt beroende på om undervisningen sker i ett yrkesförberedande program eller ett högskoleförberedande program. Fyra verksamma lärare intervjuades utifrån en halvstrukturerad intervjuguide. Resultatet visar att lärarna har frångått de gamla traditionella arbetssätten där man ofta arbetade i kronologisk ordning och där eleverna fick skriva recensioner. Idag läggs fokus på att hitta teman, koppla fiktioner till samhällets utveckling och elevernas egna liv och erfarenheter samt att analysera fiktioner via gruppdiskussioner alternativt helklassdiskussioner. Filmens roll i skolan har fått högre status och filmens språk har tagit plats i undervisningen.

The purpose of this essay was to develop a conservation program for the outdoor environment at the Zorn House (Zorngården) in Mora, Dalarna, situated in the upper central part of Sweden. In the conservation program the Zorn House garden?s origins and development process has been studied by historical studies of various kinds. As a result a status report also has been made and a description of the garden's values. This has resulted in an objective discussion that provides guidelines for how the garden can be developed in the future.

Skanska 21 is a student program for university students. The program runs for a year and a half parallel to university studies. It is aimed at those studying a few specific master engineering programs at Lund University, Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Chalmers University of Technology or Luleå University of Technology. The program consists of a number of program meetings such as company presentations, a boarding school week, rhetoric training and project visits. The aim of the project is to evaluate the Skanska 21 student program.

This paper investigates how students in the humanities in four universities in Sweden reflect on their education and the current view on the humanities as an education and a science. I want to investigate what impact the past few years public debate about the humanities have had on the students. What kind of beliefs and identities do the students of the humanities form and how do they discuss the universities, the choices they made in life and how do they feel about the future.This study is based on interviews with seventeen students in Sweden from four different universities. The research is also based upon a report that The Confederation of Swedish Enterprise (Svenskt Näringsliv) published in 2011 and the debate following that report. I have also made participant observations on the four universities to make a broader description for the reader.

The purpose of this thesis is to present a number of examples of how the debate concerning same-sex marriages in Sweden was conducted in religious media between the year of 2005 and May 1st 2009. I intend to examine if and how these debate articles can be descibes as examples of religion taking part in the public sphere according to José Casanovas theory of deprivitization and public religion (1994) and Jürgen Habermas theory of religion in the public sphere (1964, 1989, 2006, 2008). I will apply the theories to the material by using four criteria for public religion, based on Casanovas and Habermas two theories, designed by Marta Axner. I also intend to compare the arguments used in the material to the arguments found in Marta Axners dissertation Public Religions in Swedish Media (2013). To identify these arguments a textanalysis containing seven argumentschemes, designed by Gunnar Björnsson (1994), is applied.

The purpose of this work is to do an investigation on the customers in the pharmaceutical sector; mainly general physicians who have taken part in the education events have any impact in their prescription behaviour after the participation in the program. The settings for this study are general practitioners in the Swedish market who have taken part in the education program held by Novo Nordisk in the treatment of diabetes disease. Methodology: The methodological approach adopted for this work is quantitative; using secondary data from the internal database from the company. The analytical model is tested through statistical analysis using the data?s obtained from the databases.

Syftet med vår studie är att lyfta fram ämnesintegreringens positiva möjligheter för att få ele-verna mer motiverade i kärnämnena. Med hjälp av intervjuer med kärnämneslärare, karaktärs-ämneslärare, resurslärare och skolledare samt enkätundersökningar med elever på gymnasie-skolor som har yrkesförberedande program har vi försökt att komma fram till gemensamma metoder som skulle kunna öka ämnesintegrering och därigenom ge eleverna ökad motivation och förståelse för att kärnämnena är lika viktiga som karaktärsämnena. Vi har delat in resulta-tet i fyra olika delar: samtal och intervjuer med lärare som undervisar på yrkesförberedande program, en djupintervju med en skolledare på en skola som har yrkesförberedande program, enkätundersökningar med elever på yrkesförberedande program samt egna observationer un-der kurser med ämnesintegrering. Sammanfattningsvis tycker vi att lärare på dessa skolor är i stort intresserade av att arbeta mer ämnesintegrerat. Kärnämneslärarna tycker att det vore önskvärt att karaktärsämneslärarna försöker finna sammankopplingar från karaktärsämnet till deras kärnämne så att eleverna ser sambandet mellan praktiken och teorin.

Den här undersökningen syftar till att se hur olika undervisningsmetoder i matematik används i dagens gymnasieskola och hur de uppfattas av lärare och elever. Finns det några skillnader/likheter i åsikter angående matematikundervisningen mellan lärare, elever från studieförberedande och elever från yrkesförberedande program? Denna frågeställning är mycket aktuell eftersom det förs en ständig debatt om behovet av förändrade undervisningsformer i matematik för att elevers intresse i ämnet skall öka. Min studie visar att de så kallade ?traditionella? undervisningsformerna i matematik som t.ex.

The aim of this bachelor´s thesis ist to analyze the idea progress in the party programs in the swedish Centre-party during the time 1910-1959. The progress in the party program is compared with the evolution of society during the same period.The bachelor´s aim is also to analyze how each new program is described in newspapers, two newspapers were chosen to make the comparison; Arbetet (a social-democratic newspaper), and Skånska Dagbladet (a centre-party newspaper). The result shows that the party in the beginning was conservative and against both capitalism and socialism. The start of the party was a reaction against the new electionsystem which was introduced in Sweden in 1909.The party took a clear standpoint for the Swedish farmers, but after 1933, they were standing for the whole countryside. In the 1940´s and the 1950´s the party became more like a social liberal party rather than an agrarian party only for the farmers.The party programs are not given much space in the two newspapers.

Syftet med denna studie är dels att undersöka hur eleverna ser på sitt inflytande och sin delaktighet i idrottsundervisningen utformning och genomförande, i gymnasieskolans kurs Idrott och Hälsa A, och vad de har för attityd och inställning till elevinflytande samt att undersöka dels hur deras lärare arbetar med elevinflytande och vilka attityder de har till elevernas inflytande. Studien kommer att undersöka skillnader mellan studie- och yrkesförberedande program. Vi har intervjuat elever från fyra olika gymnasieutbildningar, två studieförberedande och två yrkesförberedande program, samt deras lärare.Resultatet visar att både lärare och elever generellt är väldigt positivt inställda till att eleverna har inflytande över idrottsundervisningen men att problematik med att utöva inflytande finns. Lärare anger tid- och resursbrist som två viktiga faktorer och det framkommer att elevernas inflytande kan vara begränsat till relativt obetydliga situationer. En majoritet av eleverna ser elevinflytande som viktigt men avsäger sig i många fall inflytande med motiveringen att de är nöjda med undervisningen och att de har ett stort förtroende för lärarna.Skillnader framkom mellan studie- och yrkesförberedande program, men man kan i denna begränsade studie diskutera huruvida dessa kanske snarare kan tillskrivas lärarnas olika attityder, arbetsmetoder och ledarstilar..

Less diversity and more homogenization in the media`s news range is the subject for our bachelor thesis. By analyzing and comparing three separate weeks in two of Sweden's largest evening newspapers Aftonbladet and Expressen we wanted to discoverhow the diversity between the two newspapers had changed over the years, more precisely from 1993 until now. Had there been a homogenization or not? We wanted to study this because it is a long going debate about the news stories becoming more and more the same. An important debate because less diversity in news events and news presentation may lead to less diversity in public opinions and knowledge.

During the recent financial crisis there has been an intense debate regarding small enterprise?s possibilities to borrow money. Statements from interest groups and results from surveys among Swedish non-financial companies indicate that their situation has worsened. Credit worthy enterprises that under normal circumstances would not have any problems getting financing are now facing financial difficulties. In contrast, an economic report from the Bank of Sweden concludes that Sweden does not suffer from a severe credit rationing due to the financial crisis.

This Master's thesis aims at pinpointing the political arguments that appear in the recent debate on scientific publication. There is a widely spread opinion that prices on digital resources are far too high, thus taking up a major part of the University libraries budget, while publishing companies make high profits. It is also a common opinion that the current publishing method does not take full advantage of the possibilities of electronic publishing. Lately a number of alternative ways of publishing have been initiated and discussed, generally referred to as open access. Open access published material is available free of charge and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions on the public internet.In this thesis the minutes from four hearings held by the UK House of Commons in the spring of 2004 are examined.

The aim of this study was to measure the castration coverage and the attitudes among people towards castration in an area in Lilongwe, the capital of Malawi, where a castration program has been running for a few years. Another aim was to review the literature to examine the link between castration coverage and rabies prevalence. Two areas (Area 25 and Area 23) in Lilongwe were studied through standardized household interviews. In Area 25, a non-governmental organization had been castrating dogs weekly to twice weekly for free for 3 years. In Area 23, no official organization had done castrations, and this area therefore acted as a control in the study.

The purpose of this essay is to describe how probation service officers regard their professional role and their liberty of action within the motivational treatment program, MIK, and the probation organization. To answer the purpose three questions were formulated: 1) Does the probation service organization affect the individual discretion for the probation service officers, and in that case how? 2) Does the motivational treatment program, MIK, influence the probation officers? professionalism and their professional role? 3) What advantages and disadvantages do the probation service officers consider MIK being related to? The method conducted in the study was interviews with five probation service officers in Stockholm. The interviews were combined with a theoretical framework based on themes as organization, professional role, professionalism and motivation. The result showed that probation officers consider themselves to have a relatively high discretion within their work.
