Syftet med denna uppsats är att försöka förstå vad mindfulness är, vad det kommer ifrån och vart det är på väg. Det kan finnas ett behov av att förstå mer om mindfulness, dels för de som arbetar med det, dels för de som i framtiden kommer att stöta på mindfulness, då inte minst socionomer. Uppsatsen frågar vad som ligger bakom mindfulness, hur en viss aspekt av buddhistisk meditation nu i vår tid har fått ett sådant genomslag? Vad det är rent konkret, går det att definiera? Vilka människor kan ha behov av mindfulness, förutom de som redan är behjälpta? Vad blir de nya riktningarna för mindfulness, kanske mer in i socialt arbete?Texterna om mindfulness som är analyserade är hämtade ifrån olika källor för att få en bred överblick av fenomenet. Förutom ren mindfulnesslitteratur även litteratur om buddhistisk meditation med mindfulness som fokus.

I Den onde, den gode och den fule. Jakten på den goda läroboken i Religionskunskap A ämnar vi att undersöka hur religionerna hinduism och buddhism presenteras i tre läromedelsböcker i Religionskunskap A för gymnasiet, samt hur väl Skolverkets styrdokument och en skola för alla förankras i dessa framställningar. Vi har använt oss av en komparativ analysmetod där vi har jämfört och ställt de tre läromedelsböckerna i relation till varandra för att kunna belysa deras likheter och skillnader. De teorier vi har använt oss av är: analytisk/positivistisk och hermeneutisk/dialektisk kunskapssyn, induktion, deduktion och abduktion samt ett etnocentriskt och genusrelaterat perspektiv. Teorierna bidrar till ett djup och en bredd i vår analys och belyser den mångfald som de tre läromedelsböckerna visar.

This graduation paper is based on my interest for wood and its different tonal quality?s.After some time of thinking I decided to write my paper on the tonal difference between two of the most common woods in guitars, East Indian Rosewood and European Maple.

School can be an effective environment for achieving a more equal health among children and adolescents, since many individuals can be reached by the health promoting work in the school. In the year of 2000 a project in Skåne was started for the development of health promoting schools. The health promoting projects however, have shown to be of short duration. So, as an alternative, the integration of the health in school ought to be tried. The aim of this study is to give examples how health promoting schools can strengthen their profile.

In the years between 2012 and 2014, Burma has been shaken by waves of violence against Muslims which has resulted in destroyed mosques and shops, at least 140 000 displaced and 200 killed persons. The person who is said to lay behind this violence is the Burmese Theravada monk Ashin Wirathu. Being the founder and leader of the radical Buddhist movement 969, he has been accused of indirectly motivating violence against Muslims and has been portrayed with titles such as ?The face of buddhist terror?. This essay investigates the relation between Wirathu and the anti-Muslim violence by applying the method of content analysis on a speech of him.

This project operate an environmental assessment of total waste was conducted by using a life cycle assessment (LCA), that examines the environmental benefits of recycling production waste from Atlas Copco at Stena recycling. Atlas Copco is a company engaged in the development and production of rig-mounted hydraulic breakers and handheld air breakers and handheld motorized rotisserie. Stena recycling is a recycling company engaged in recycling, processing and refining of metals, paper, electronics waste and hazardous waste.The purpose of this study is to focus on Stena customer Atlas Copco and evaluate environmental benefits between to recycle and not to do it. The result shows that the total energy gain, resulting from the recycling of waste fractions, lands at 6 990 089 MJ, corresponding to drive 3 times around the Equator with a truck (40 t). The result shows that recycling 3040 kg paper provides an energy gain of (38 600 MJ) compared with burning paper (19 500 MJ) is 19 100 MJ, which corresponds to heat a house for 11 weeks.

I min uppsats har jag försökt visa två sidor av buddhismen; den teoretiska och den praktiska. Jag började med att skissera fram den allmängiltiga bilden av Buddha som av många, inklusive mig själv, ses som buddhismens förgrundsgestalt. Sedan analyserade jag den litteratur från gymnasiet som används i det praktiska arbetet i religionskunskap och drog snäva linjer som hela tiden utgick ifrån mina grundfrågor; hur förmedlas bilden av den historiska Buddha och hur tar man upp kvinnan i religionen. Jag kom fram till att buddhismen i böckerna ägnas väldigt lite utrymme, oftast inte mer än 30 sidor ? och att bilden av Siddharta och dennes väg till upplysning många gånger var förenklad (exempelvis i Börje Rings Religion och sammanhang.) Bilden av kvinnan förmedlades även den sparsamt, och de gånger den gick att finna kändes den stressig och kompakt, exempelvis i Religion A av Elm & Thulin där nunnor i förbigående nämns ett fåtal gånger, och detta i samma andemening som munkarna.
