I min hemförsamling Nätra, Örnsköldsviks kommun, finns det många bönhus, ungefär ett i varje by. Jag undrade varför det var på det viset, och bestämde mig för att ta reda på detta genom att intervjua människor som är eller har varit aktiva i de religiösa föreningar och samfund som driver de olika bönhusen.Den nyevangelistiska väckelsen kom främst från Skottland men även från England och Tyskland och var inspirerad av metodismen, herrnhutismen och pietismen. I Norrland drabbades människorna starkt av denna väckelserörelse som kom över Sverige och då började det s.k. ?Norrlandsläseriet?, där människor träffades till möten hemma hos varandra för att läsa och lära sig mer om kristendomen.

Affektreglering är ett begrepp som inom modern anknytningsteori används för att beskriva förälderns följsamhet, lyhördhet och stöd för barnet att reglera och organisera affekter, upphetsningsnivå och erfarenheter. Förälderns förmåga avseende detta antas kunna påverka barnets förmåga till självreglering. I syfte att studera om faktorer som att föda ett prematurt riskbarn och paritet påverkar mammans förmåga till affektreglering har en teoretiskt grundad skala skapats utifrån variabler som ingår i The Parent-Child Early Relational Assessment (ERA), ett kvantitativt bedömningsinstrument av samspelskvalitéer. I jämförelse mellan 17 mammor till prematurfödda riskbarn (VLBW/ELBW) och en matchad kontrollgrupp, videofilmade i samspelssituationer då barnen varit 3, 18 och 24 månader (korr. för prematurfödda), framkommer en signifikant lägre affektreglerande förmåga hos förstföderskor som har ett prematurt riskbarn.

Parents play a major role in the care of their children during hospitalization.Purpose:The purpose of this study was to investigate parents´ experiences of having a child diagnosed with scoliosis before the age of five undergoing repeated surgeries in the back.Method:The study had a qualitative descriptive design. Five parents with children aged 5-15 years, who have undergone several operations were interviewed about there experiences of the child?s illness and treatment. Phenomenological-hermeneutical analyze where used.Results:The parents felt a sense of shock when they were told about their child?s diagnose and treatment.

This thesis explores the validity of feminist poststructuralist theory in relation to gender and culture. Within the theoretical frame¬work of Judith Butler, combined with insights from the field of post-colonial theory, different perspectives of the dilemma of universalism are discussed. Primary sources for the study are policy documents from the Swedish government, literary texts and newspaper articles. The results show a number of paradoxes which need to be continually and critically kept unsolved. This does not mean an end to feminist engagement in other contexts than one's own but rather the need for theoretical awareness and self reflection.

Background:Malnutrition is a nursing issue that causes both physical and psychological suffering of those who are affected. In order to achieve care that is safe and has a good quality, it must be based on the assessment and actions of the state. District nurses play a central role in this work. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe the district nurses' work with identifying and addressing malnutrition in older people in nursing Home Care of the Community. Method: Six interviews with district nurses were conducted.

Bakgrund och problem: Behovet av harmonisering på redovisningsområdet har lett till attinternationella normbildande organ har fått en större betydelse. IASB är en sådan organisationvars normer och regleringar är numer obligatoriska för noterade bolag inom EU.Medlemsländerna i EU kommer att ha nytta av denna harmonisering genom att exempelvisstandarder som behandlar värdeförändringar på materiella anläggningstillgångar är enhetliga.Materiella anläggningstillgångar behandlas omfattande bland annat i IAS 16( MateriellaAnläggningstillgångar) och IAS 36 (Nedskrivningar) . Materiella anläggningstillgångar utgören omfattande del av tillgångsmassan i svenska rederiföretag. Den nuvarande oron på denfinansiella marknaden har lett till prisjusteringar för många former av placeringar. Det ställerfrågan om hur den kommer att avspeglas i rederiernas redovisning, med andra ord omnedskrivningsbehov kommer att föreligga.Syfte: Uppsatsens syfte är att bidra till mer förståelse om vilka utmaningar som svenskanoterade rederier möter i tillämpningen av IAS 36 vid en lågkonjunktur.Avgränsningar: Uppsatsen fokuserar på (IFRS) ? IAS 36 Nedskrivningar och vi undersökerföljaktligen endast svenska noterade rederier.

A trend since the early 90?s has been that some public libraries offer a special shelf containing environmental information to the community, but it seems as though the subject has been overlooked by the literature and the science community. The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to study how three independent public libraries work with environmental information that is made available to the community. The following questions were addressed: 1) Which arguments can be found as to why the libraries offer this activity? 2) How does the environmental work at the public libraries look and what does it contain of? 3) Are there any similarities or differences in this work between the three libraries?To answer these questions interviews with librarians were carried out; observations were made to complement the interviews.

The aim of this study is to examine how one can understand the experiences that social workers within the social service's have of children who have committed sexual assault against other children, and the social workers? thoughts about the choice of actions and the family involvement in those actions. The study has a qualitative character. Information was obtained through interviews with social workers within two Swedish counties, and the analysis of the results was based on earlier research findings as well as theoretical aspects, such as systemic theory and salutogenesis.Regarding the actions taken for the target group, the social workers have, in many ways, a systemic perspective as they emphasize elements within the child as well as within the family. It is also shown that the collaboration with other authorities affects the choice of actions, and that it is important to involve the entire family in any interventions, so that the effect of those interventions may last over time.

This is an examination of how interdependence affects the behaviour of politicians and their ability to govern the way they want to. I analyze the memoirs of two Swedish prime ministers, Tage Erlander and Ingvar Carlsson to explore their experiences. I focus on how the increasing interdependence affects the politicians with regards to security, welfare, and financial policies. Sweden had a special position between Soviet and NATO during the cold war. This meant Sweden gave priority to it's neutrality policy during the cold war, compared to increased trade cooperation.

From a historical perspective, Sweden is a classic example of a social democratic state in view ofits early development of labor movements, democracy and focus on the welfare state. Today, as amember state of the EU, Sweden has however come to be influenced by America?s neoliberalpolities, where companies need to deliver more and better products/services while the consumerawareness and sensitivity has increased about company?s way to invest. Research shows thatScandinavian companies, primarily in Denmark and Sweden, has a leading position when it comesto responsible corporate behavior which has been the reason to our choice of studying howSwedish companies do to achieve success in CSR. To carry out this study, we have usedqualitative analysis, using semi-structures to interview companies in different industry sectors.

During Sweden's economic crisis in the early 1990s a governmental committe of prominent economic and political experts were gathered to produce an analysis of and suggestions to the solution of that crisis. The committe produced a report that became widely commented in the media and in parliment. The report anc the reception of it gives us insights in how the boundaries between social science and politics are created an how new fields of expertise is added to a science. This thesis uses a constructivist approach to explore how the techniques of the economic science were made into credible means of knowöedge production outside of the field where it traditionally holds epistemological authority. Working from the assumption that language does things to the objects that it describes I claim that the episode investigated in this thesis was shaped by the committee's ability to define the economic crissi and thus making it into a knowable object.

With this thesis I wanted to find out how a teacher-team in Stockholm reason about and whether they have specific expectations of male teachers in the early school years. Interviews with five teachers from pre-school to grade 3 and in after-school have shown that specific expectations of male teachers is something obvious. Are male teachers expected to enter into the role of male role models to contribute with masculinity and a male perspective? However, the informants are not able to define how a male role model is or should act. Men and women are often defined as two separate, and often as opposite, groups.

Today there are several generations who have grown up watching Disney?s films. Disney has become a central storyteller in our society with children and their families as their main audience. Disney's storytelling is often with the children from an early age and they get to learn about right and wrong, good and evil through the films. A picture of how the world looks and how you should and should not behave is presented in Disney's films.

A new project has developed at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Alnarp during the spring of 2006. The garden design students has, during the course Interior Garden Design designed and built an construction with a new range of plants for Swedish conservatories. The plants are mainly from the cool temperate areas, instead of the tropical which often are the most common in public spaces. This means, among other things, that the cost for warming is very low. The working process and the construction carried on as workshops in the conservatory at Trädgårdslaboratoriet in Alnarp. During a few weeks the hole construction is completed.

In this essay there will be four text books from grade 1 studied, the first one are from the year 1976 and it will be going forward to the year 2012. The aim of this study is to see how the genders are depicted and represented, as well as what roles the genders are given. I do also want to see if there is a notable change in this over time. I will be doing a study based on the quantity of the contents, and I will also be doing a critical discourse analysis.The result of the study showed that there were more gender-based constructions that referred to women in all of the four books, which indicates that women are represented more often in these reading books. It is most common to portray the genders in their stereotypical roles, which again are present in society, but sometimes these roles are depart from what?s present in society.
