The gender theory of Judith Butler is based on both philosophical and psychoanalytic notions of the self. Although greatly inspired by both early and contemporary psychoanalytic thinking, Butler has also questioned some of its core notions such as the meaning of gender complementarity and conceptions of desire. In a dialogue in Studies in Gender and Sexuality she discusses these and other theoretical and ethical issues with the influential psychoanalyst and gender theorist Jessica Benjamin. The exchange is a unique example of an attempt at dialogue and theoretical reflection between a prominent contemporary gender theorist and psychoanalyst. It reveals disagreements and theoretical difficulties I will show to be directly attributable to radical differences between Butler's and Benjamin's conceptions of the self.

Syftet med interventionsstudien är att bidra med kunskapsutveckling kring arbetssätt för att utveckla elevers förmåga att skriva med flyt. Studiens syfte är också att undersöka om det finns samband mellan ordavkodning/läshastighet och skrivflyt.Interventionen genomförs i klassundervisningen i skolår 1 och 2. Under tio tillfällen skriver eleverna i sina tankeböcker. Dockan Mini, som är huvudpersonen i klassens läsebok, ger skrivuppdrag som diskuteras innan eleverna börjar skriva. Vid tre olika tillfällen mäts skrivflytet genom att eleverna får skriva en text till en bild.

I takt med medielandskapets föraändring så utvecklas möjligheterna för medier att positionera sig digitalt alltmer. Denna kandidatuppsats har som syfte att undersöka hur denna förändring påverkar de svenska dagstidningarna när det kommer till Apples iPad. Vår frågeställning är således; hur tar svenska dagstidningar sig an iPad som en ny medieplattform?Vi har valt att använda oss utav kvalitativa intervjuer med de ledande aktörerna på den svenska dagstidningsmarknaden. Eftersom det här är ett så pass nytt och outforskat område finns det begränsat med relevant teori att tillgå.

The aim of this study was to develop, implement and evaluate a mindfulness- and acceptance-based smoking cessation program in group (MRG). MRG was developed into an intervention consisting of 6 group sessions during 35 days including individual homework assignments. 8 of 10 participants completed the program. In order to evaluate the effect of MRG a quasi-experimental design with pretest and double posttest (second posttest at 1 month) was chosen. At second posttest, 50 percent (of 8 completers) were non-smokers, and the rest showed a decrease in smoking at a rate between 45 and 75 percent.

The purpose with this report was to compare three commonly occurring methods for measuring plant available nitrogen in soils. The methods extraction, incubation and Plant root simulator (PRS) probe - an ion exchange membrane (Western Ag Innovations, Inc., Saskatoon, Canada) method were used and comparison between these methods were conducted. A full factorial experiment were set up in northern Finland with the treatments excluding herbivores, warming and fertilization to see how the inorganic nitrogen content in the soil was effected by the treatments. Soil cores were taken and from them a subsample was incubated for 18 days and thereafter analyzed for inorganic N in laboratory. PRS- probes were in the ground for 1 month.

Flera svenska lantbruksföretag befinner sig i en period då ett generationsskifte är aktuellt. Det finns flera olika överlåtelsestrategier, men i denna studie analyseras endast de som sker via benefika fång (gåva). Priserna på jordbruksmark har stigit kraftigt under den senaste 20-årsperioden, vilket har ökat förmögenheten för de svenska jordbrukarna. Samtidigt ställer de högre markpriserna högre krav på kompensation till syskon. Därtill kräver också ofta överlåtargenerationen vissa kompensationskrav för att inte behöva sänka sin ekonomiska levnadsstandard i allt för hög utsträckning. Särskild post är lagstiftning som syftar till att underlätta vid generationsskiften som sker via ett benefika fång.
