The purpose of this study is to explore specific pedagogical activities that benefit the student's verbal language development and to learn more about how our schools use teaching methods to achieve the ambitions in the governing documents in Sweden. The aim is finding the correlation between theory, research, governing documents and the educational work in our schools. This study contains an empirical survey in intention to see how teachers, pupils and school administrators experience school activities, to see if those activities are formed with the intention for pupils to reach the learning goals according to the governing documents.The aim of this study has been achieved by relating empirical data with theories and previous research on conversation analysis. Goffman's and Norrby's research on the importance of dialogue and previous research on dialogicity studied by Dysthe, Vygotsky and Bakhtin are presented. Those are related to empirical data and show that most teachers realize the importance of integrating dialogues in daily activities and in different learning contexts.

In today?s school in Sweden the assignment of community encompasses mediated values and education of democracy as well of single subject matters. What does it mean then, that teachers have a certain kind of idea of democracy, and what implications may biology have for the assignment of community? In upper secondary school there are quite many courses in biology with a national curriculum, and findings show that students of teaching perceive or think of biology as helping to promote the dual-purpose of teaching. In this study, the author of the paper has interviewed four future teachers of upper secondary school with biology as one of their main subjects.

The purpose of this study was to investigate how Islam and Muslims are portrayed a) in results from studies on Swedish teaching materials, and b) in articles in Swedish media newspapers. The study was conducted through two separate studies. In the first study, five previous research reports on how Islam and Muslims are portrayed in Swedish teaching materials were analysed in order to discern the main results regarding the portrayal of Islam and Muslims. In the second study, newspaper articles from 11 Swedish newspapers were analysed in order to discern which central themes emerge in the description of Muslims and Islam in said newspaper articles, as well as which properties and features are attributed to Muslims and Islam in the articles studied. In both studies, the data was analysed inductively through a qualitative content analysis.

AbstractThis study explores how well teachers think they succeed in their mission to include children with special needs into their ordinary groups of children. Interviews were carried out with five teachers in practice of the public school (year 2,3,5 and 6). The teachers were asked what support they have got from the schools manager, initially and ongoing, (information, necessary education, supportive expertise personnel, assistant teacher to the child and schoolmaterial.) The teachers were also asked how inclusion is arranged by three indicators of participation: physically, socially (interaction) and didactically -in educational situations of reading and writing. One finding of the study was that inclusion is difficult to arrange if  parents of included children demand secrecy of the diagnosis their child has. Three cases reveal severe problems of acceptance for the included child by the peers.

Inledning: Inom barn- och ungdomspsykiatrin (BUP) i Stockholms län finns fyra Mellanvårdsmottagningar. Dessa är en förstärkning till Öppenvården och kan arbeta intensivt med familjer i deras hem eller närmiljö.Frågeställningar: Syftet med denna studie är att få ökad förståelse och kunskap om hur familjer, som haft kontakt med BUP Mellanvård, upplever hembesök som arbetsmetod samt hur de upplevt den behandlingsinsats som de fått. Studiens frågeställningar är: Hur upplever familjer hembesök som arbetsmetod? Vilken betydelse har platsen för kontakten? Hur blev relationen mellan behandlare och familj? Hur blev utfallet av behandlingsinsatsen?Metod: Sex familjer deltog i studien som genomfördes med hjälp av semistrukturerade intervjuer. Svaren presenteras i komprimerad och sammanfattad form under respektive område; hemmet, behandlingen och relationerna.Resultat: Resultatet visar att föräldrarna såg främst praktiska fördelar med hembesök, de upplevde det heller inte besvärande att ta emot behandlare i det egna hemmet.

Akademiska hus is a real estate company that specializes in providing Swedish universities with housing facilities for educational and research purposes. The company strives to reduce its use of energy by 40% between the years 2000 and 2025. The aim of this thesis is to determine which measures can be taken to reduce the need of purchased energy in a building that is used by theSwedishUniversityof Agricultural Sciences inUppsala.In order to determine the results of various changes to the building envelope and ventilation system, the building was modelled in the computer simulation program VIP-Energy. Other proposed changes to make the use of energy more efficient concerned water use and lighting. The need of purchased energy can also be reduced by producing electricity or heat on site, using solar energy.Results show that economically viable measures include upgrading windows and faucets, adjusting control systems for ventilation and lighting, and installing roof mounted solar panels for power production.

The aim with the literature study is to inform about the risks that exists in large dairy farms(with focus on mastitis and hoof health) and to inform about the milk industry in Sweden.Personal comments from two study visits (Nötcenter Viken and Vadsbo Mjölk AB) arelinked together with the literature and forms into a discussion regarding sustainableagriculture versus the milk cow's welfare.The profitability for Sweden's milk farmers have decreased because of the decreased milkprice and current inflation. This leads to an increase in herdsize in order to make a profit.The milk cow herds in Sweden becomes fewer year by year and the herdsize increases. Theincreased herdsize can cause a decrease in the time the farmer spends per animal. This canaffect early disease detection and prolong the animals suffering.Swedish Board of Agriculture published (2008) statistics showing that today's milk cow ismedicated primarily because of two reasons; mastitis or hoof problems. Mastitis is thereason to two thirds of all treatments that are carried out.

Syftet med denna undersökning är att undersöka hur några pedagoger beskriver att de arbetar med de särbegåvade barnens individuella utvecklingsplaner och hur de med hjälp av dessa planer skapar en utvecklande och bra lärande miljö för dessa barn. Anledningen till att jag gör detta arbete är att det i min kommande yrkesroll krävs av mig att jag arbetar för att se och ta tillvara på alla elever, oavsett kunskapsnivå eller kunskapsdomän. Mitt uppdrag som pedagog innefattar även att jag, tillsammans med elev och vårdnadshavare, ska upprätta en IUP för eleven.Jag har först ägnat mig åt litteraturstudier och sedan genomfört kvalitativa intervjuer av fem yrkesverksamma pedagoger i mellansverige. Mitt resultat sammanföll i stort sett med vad forskningen tidigare sa om pedagogernas förhållningssätt gentemot särbegåvade barn och upprättandet av IUP. Pedagogerna i undersökningen tycker det är bra och viktigt att arbeta med IUP i skolan.

The term ?vulnerable areas? is developed by the Swedish police, referring to various areas in Sweden that are classified as socioeconomically disadvantaged, and with an active criminal presence. Over time, this term has gained significant popularity and is now used not only by the police but also by other entities such as the media, where these areas are often depicted as urban outcasts. Therefore, this study focuses on the portrayal of ?vulnerable areas? in the Swedish news media, where the topic has been widely debated in recent years.
