I denna uppsats så undersöks kritiskt det deliberativa samtalets möjligheter att kunna uppfylla den deliberativa demokratins grundläggande utgångspunkt ? rätten för alla individer till politisk jämlikhet och deltagande i politisk gemenskap i den svenska skolan. Rätten att inte bara få manifestera olikhet (diversity) utan också skillnad (difference). Dessutom det deliberativa samtalets grundsats att alla jämlikt ska få pröva giltigheten hos andras argument och framföra sina egna argument till giltighetsprövning. Begrepp som tolerans, värdegrund, och dikotomin offentligt ? privat bildar en klangbotten för undersökningen tillsammans med beskrivningarna av de tre mest framträdande ontologierna i det västerländska samhället.

Johanna Petrén, a prospective teacher of religion, has examined how a couple of students view Christianity as it is presented in a Religious Education classroom. Furthermore, how this image matches their experience of Christianity outside of school. The key questions of this essay are: How do the students generally describe Christianity and what it means to be a Christian based on the image they have acquired from outside of school, or from Christian friends, confirmation or their own faith? How do the students describe Christianity according to what they learn in Religious education at school? What potential differences do the students perceive between the image of Christianity conveyed by the school and the image they have of Christianity from outside of school? Does the school's teaching influence the credibility and interest in Christianity? The questions have been discussed in focus group interviews, in which the students way of reasoning and talking about religious matters were analysed based on previous research. References used in the analysis includes research on topics such as science of religious history, religion in multicultural and postcolonial rooms, secularism and discourse analysis have.

The aim of this paper is to examine the capacity for ethical reasoning of Swedish certi-fied auditors in the five largest accounting firms in Stockholm, and also how ethics courses affect the auditors' ability to ethically statement. To calculate the auditors ability to ethical statement, questionnaire has been used. The questionnaire is based on a psychological instrument, the so-called Defining Issues Test.

This cross-sectional study investigated the use of health benefits in relation to the self-rated health of employees at two medium-sized industrial enterprises in Hälsingland. The method used to investigate this was through a self-designed questionnaire consisting 19 questions about health, lifestyle and health benefits at the workplace. A total of 100 questionnaires were distributed in the two companies, hence 50 surveys at each workplace. The response rate was measured to 88 % and 74 %, which means a loss of 6 persons and 13 persons. The results showed that Company nr 1 offers its employees a health benefits consisting of free access to gym in the company premises after working hours and financial contributions to training-cards.

Several studies have analysed the relationship between Normalised DifferenceVegetation Index (NDVI) and radiative surface temperature. A main goal for moststudies have been to find the best method for carrying out land cover classificationsand to study land cover changes, based on a combination between the twoparameters. Since atmospheric components have a significant influence on bothparameters, most applications were based on multi-temporal data. The quality of theindividual values in such a combination is improved, but the biophysical justificationis uncertain. This study presents a different method, based on only the combination ofvalues that have been registered the same day and about the same time of the day.125 daily images of NDVI and 250 images of radiometric temperature were used inorder to analyse the relationship between (1) NDVI and radiative temperature and (2)NDVI and relative temperature difference between early morning and mid-day.Results between NDVI and radiative temperature show a significant negativecorrelation on areas where a distinct growing season develops, and a strong positivcorrelation where vegetation is abscent throghout the season.

The purpose of this qualitative research study is to examine if and how the teachers from a multicultural International School work with intercultural pedagogy. The school in question isprofiled and consists of both Swedish- and English classes. The study examines if and how the teachers related to the great variety of cultures and created opportunities for integration between the students and handling with values at school. It is important to be aware as a teacher to be able to take an active part in working towards a school that gives possibilities for different cultures to meet. If this is neglected, it may increase the risk of problems and cultural clashes between the students.

Att baka med surdeg är en dagsaktuell trend. Surdegen, som länge fått ge vika för jästen, har fått ett rejält uppsving. Den förekommer på bagerier, hemma hos konsumenter och även i media. Kunskapen om att jäsa bröd med surdeg härstammar från Egypten ca 3000 år f.v.t. men lär ha kommit till Sverige ca 4000 år senare.

This essays overarching aim is to contribute to the theoretical discussion of transformation processes that are shaping the urban landscapes and further to problematize contemporary planning discourses in Sweden. Drawing on the concept of Foucault?s heterotopia and actor-network theory for spatial analysis, the paper seeks to analyze the complex urban landscape transformation process as an emergent property of human and non-human actor-networks seeking to transform and order space. With the district of Rosenlund in Gothenburg as a starting point, this thesis intends to examine how the cultural infrastructure - used by the residents and visitors of the city - are related to the city's planning and development processes. The case study is based on a boat (Rio Rio) in Rosenlund canal that is defined as a cultural infrastructure.

Det här är ett examensarbete i Reglerteknik utfört på SSAB Tunnplåt AB i Luleå och Luleå tekniska universitet. Igensättningar som beror på att slag, stål och oxider fäster inuti gjutröret har länge varit ett av de största problemen inom kontinuerlig stränggjutning av aluminiumsläkt stål. På senare år har forskare och tekniker intresserat sig för detta problem både i Sverige och internationellt. Igensättningar orsakar många kvalitets- och processtyrnings relaterade problem. De extremt lågkolhaltiga stål med hög hållfasthet och speciallegeringar, speciellt titan, som produceras på SSAB i Luleå kräver extra bra processtyrning.

In the context of world globalization, Sweden has today become a multicultural society, where many different cultures, religions, values and approaches are trying to co-exist. When the Swedish government's integration policy was put into effect, one sought to open the way for a more peaceful coexistence between majority and minority people. The intention was that everyone, through mutual interaction, would learn to come together and learn to respect each other's differences. It was suggested that an intercultural approach should permeate all education, including preschool activity. There are particular guidelines for a culture and tradition promotion work within the preschool in the new revised curriculum (Lpfö 98, rev.

The purpose of this essay is to examine at how to portray characters in the stories and narratives which depicts one of these children's books and if they really have something to ethnicity and its identification to be done.The Research questions is: What are the different identification markers given, to the reading child in the books, which might indicate that the story depicts people of different ethnicities? How are the characters portrayed in the story and which role is assigned to the main character? What story is portrayed and is it relevant to an identifier can occur?The conclusions of the five children's books shows that it is important with identifications markers, to show that there are different ethnicities. For example the analysis revealed the specific features of the illustrations and how the books portrayes someone with a different ethnicity and cultural background as something exotic.In the texts, the analysis showed how it occurred ethnic differences, by explicitly demonstrating differences between the characters.

Common to all the main characters was that they had been placed, in one for them unusual context and that they were trying to assimilate to the new situations.Depictions consisted of realism and fiction.

Syfte: Att undersöka om det finns belägg för att contrarian strategier genererar högre avkastning än Stockholmsbörsens marknadsindex och om detta i så fall beror på en småbolagseffekt. Metod: I vår event studie valde vi att undersöka stockholmsbörsen under åren 1993 till 2005. Under perioden skapade vi 8 portföljer med 20 aktier i varje, för dessa bolag satte vi ett gränsvärde på 150 Mkr. Vi utförde även ett liknande försök men då med en gräns på 1 miljard och satte antal aktier i portföljen till 10. Detta för att testa förekomsten av en småbolagseffekt på våra resultat.

I denna studie undersöks fondstorlekens inverkan på prestation i form av avkastning. Dagens ekonomier utmärks av hög volatilitet och innehåller många perioder av upp- och nedgångar, vilket påverkar valet av investering. Sverige är bäst på fondsparande i världen på så sätt att störst andel av befolkningen sparar i fonder, där aktiefonder är populärast. Vi frågar oss i denna uppsats om storleken av en aktiefond även kan vara något man bör ta hänsyn till i sitt val av fonder. Genom att undersöka 26 svenska aktiefonder i perioder av upp- och nedgångar på den svenska marknaden under åren 2000-2011 och jämföra deras prestation inbördes och mot index, så utreder vi om storlek har betydelse.
