The following essay aims to determine what textbooks and teaching media educators in the county of Västerbotten use when teaching the relation between religion and science. Based on educational science theory and through analyzes of factual texts, the teaching materials was examined to determine how much focus they put on the thematic of religion and science. The result shows how the different teaching materials affect this thematic differently. The main conclusion is therefore that students in Sweden could, depending on the teaching materials used in their education, be taught by different standards to reach the same requirements..

The purpose of this paper is to understand why education is a human right. I will look at works by the late Paulo Freire, a Brazilian educator. Paulo Freire worked for many years on developing a pedagogy to promote humanity. His goal was to demonstrate that a literate person will ultimately live a better life because she will be free from oppression and domination.I chose to study Paulo Freire as a tool in proving why education is a human right because throughout his work he demonstrated the need for people to be literate in order for them to be considered ?truly human?.

Nätdejting är inte längre något nytt fenomen, utan ett vanligt förekommande sätt att dejta och träffa sin framtida partner på, både bland unga, gamla och alla där emellan. Det spelar heller ingen roll om du bor i storstaden eller på landet, det finns män och kvinnor från alla håll och kanter som använder sig av nätdejting.Även om nätdejting nu för tiden inte är något nytt fenomen finns det fortfarande frågor att försöka finna svar på. En av dessa är föremål för den här undersökningen, nämligen vilken typ av profil- och tilläggsbilder män och kvinnor i olika åldersgrupper använder sig av på dejtingsajten Mötesplatsen. Några frågor att besvara var om det gick att se skillnader mellan män och kvinnors val av profil- och tilläggsbilder och om de typiska könsstereotyperna användes. Dessutom vilka associationer kvinnor och män spelar på i förhållande till de normer och ideal som finns gällande respektive kön.Jag har använt mig av semiotisk bildanalys för att analysera profil- och tilläggsbilderna.

Gender is one of several factors that affect our society. According to the National Agency of Education and the values of Lpf 94, the school should communicate and counteract gender stereotypes.

The following study is a qualitative combination of textual analysis and interviews concerning the subject of slashfiction. Slash is a sub-category to fanfiction, which essentially means non-professionally authored short stories about already existing characters and environments, for example from TV-shows, movies or books. These stories are available on the internet. The main point is to pair two of the male characters together in a sexual relationship. According to previous studies, 90 percent of all fanfiction writers are female and this percentage is probably even higher when it comes to slash.I have looked into what these stories can be an expression of, by analyzing the construction of gender, sexuality and relationships using the following three questions:Is slash a quest for an ideal equal and romantic relationship?Do these stories represent a resistance against established norms regarding gender and sexuality?What role does transcendence of boundaries play in slash? I have used stories that are derived from the American TV show Supernatural, which generally try to explore the relationship between its protagonists, the brothers Sam and Dean Winchester.  The result gives a somewhat divided picture of slash, as some stories clearly break with traditional gender norms while others seem to uphold them..

Studien utgår från en kvalitativ metod med en hermeneutisk utgångspunkt där semistrukturerade intervjuer har samlat in datan. Syftet med studien var att belysa behandlares uppfattningar om behandlingsmetoder för Anorexia Nervosa hos unga flickor, 13-19 år. Problemformuleringarna var: Hur behandlare använder de behandlingsmetoder som finns, hur behandlare uppfattar de behandlingsmetoder som finns samt hur uppfattar behandlarna behandlingen i framtiden. Resultatet visar på att familjeterapi är den ledande behandlingsmetoden då familjen har en betydande roll för flickans tillfrisknande. Behandlarna uppfattar att behandlingsmetoderna fungerar, men att det krävs att patienten får den behandling hon behöver.

I Ur och Skur preschools base their teaching on outdoor activities and all educators are called leaders, disregarding their educational background.The purpose of this study is to find out how the leaders of six I Ur och Skur preschools are working, specifically with the written language, in the outdoors environment. The study discusses the concept of literacy, methods leaders use and the advantages and disadvantages they experience with outdoors education and the thoughts they have about outdoor activities. The basis for this study is the objective pursued in the curriculum: "preschools should strive to ensure that children develop an interest in written language and an understanding of symbols and their communicative functions". Respondents have also been asked what outdoors education means to them on a personal level.To achieve my research results five qualitative interviews, with room for follow-up questions, were conducted.

The purpose of my study was to examine how teachers in physical education experience different frame factors impact on their outdoor education and their choice of didactic approach. My study is based on Lundgren´s frame factor theory and Peitersen´s didactic learning model. I have used a qualitative research method to answer my questions. I have been using semi-structured interviews to interview six PE teachers who all teach at high school level.Based on my results we see that the teachers experience teaching hours and class sizes as the frame factors that mainly affect the outdoor education. Teachers often choose to split up the outdoor activities into sequences in order to achieve better learning.

Vi har med vår moderna livsstil kommit att producera produkter och miljöer som förkastar och lyfter sig över naturen. Allt i naturen rör sig i cykler, allt åldras, dör och återfödds som något nytt. Trots det så omger vi oss med produkter som strävar efter att motstå tidens tand.Med det moderna samhällets industrialisering, vår rationaliserad och moderna livsstil så har vi förskjutits mer och mer bort från en naturlighet som anses obekväm. Naturliga processer som åldrande och död ska, tillsammans med naturen, begränsas från våra liv i en tid då människan ska vara som sina objekt, perfekta och tidlösa. Vi bygger upp en ?andra natur?, en miljö som försöker avstanna tiden, där vi inte längre påminns om vår förgänglighet.

The main purpose of this paper is to examine and compare the democratic situation and developement in Malung and Nyköping, through a perspective of participatory and deliberative democratic theories. The questions I?ve examined are On what priorities the actions of developing democracy are built? Which positive effects have been reached and what problems have arisen? What are the solutions they have found to the problems? How does one experience the results of the experiments and actions taken? What are the similarities and differences between the two cases? and What is their relationship to the theories mentioned above?The questions are answered through interviews with four central actors in each case and examined in relation to participatory and deliberative democratic theories and in comparison of the two cases.The results have been that even if none of the cases respond to one theoretical ideal, they have touches of both theories as well as representative theory. It shows, however, that in Malung the representative democracy theory is the strongest represented in actions and politics, while in Nyköping the participatory democratic theory is stronger. In short, the most positive and negative effects respond well to the theories..
