Children from different backgrounds, cultures and home environments attend school everyday. The educational system of today focus on the importance for every individual pupil to take responsibility, in order to gain knowledge. From an early age should the pupils learn how to work independant and take responsibility for their education. My questian, and what I have decided to discuss in this paper, is wether everyone has the same opportunity to gain knowlwdge and learn trough this method. In preperation for this essay I read litterature where the authors claims that this kind of educational system is not for everyone, but it benefits those pupils that comes from a middleclass background.So, is our school system fair and equal? Can everyone, no matter what social and cultural group they belong to, get the education thay have right to? In order to get a deeper understanding I interviewed three teachers that works in different schools.

This thesis investigates gender equality at a few Swedish elementary school libraries, and how school librarians at these libraries work with gender equality issues. It is a semi-structured interview study conducted with staff at seven elementary school libraries. Several policy documents state that the school should be a gender-equal environment, but previous research shows that there is still a lack of gender equality, and that staff often treat boys and girls differently. It also shows that boys and girls are often portrayed in a gender-stereotypical way in children?s literature.

This final project includes an analysis and a programme proposal for the area Bergsbrunna södra. The area is situated along the railway between Uppsala ? Stockholm, just south of Uppsala city. A new railway station is planned here, which make the area attractive as residential area. There are several values to take into consideration when developing an area. An extensive analysis and valuation may define and protect different characters and values, and also find the places most suitable to build upon. The area consists of three separate characters of landscape: the wide open cultivated fields, the hilly wooden ground and the more varying little valley. There are visual, cultural, social and ecological values to preserve. The south part of the area is woods with high natural values that borders to a national park in the natural forest of Lunsen.

This thesis concerns the feminist consciousness-raising novel of the 1970s. The aim of the thesis is to examine narrative strategies which, according to the consciousness-raising practice, are adapted to enlighten the political aspects of the personal. The focus is both on strategies that address the protagonist and on those that address the reader. I also examine in which way the use of these strategies is dependent upon ideas of class and gender.I find that the narrative situation, in this case the relationship between the protagonist and the narrator, is central to the use of the consciousness-raising narrative strategies. In Anna-Lisa Bäckmans Fia i folkhemmet och Fia med manifestet, the protagonist Fia is positioned as an oppressed working-class woman, which results in a narrative situation that gives the protagonist a limited space of action and that gives the narrator the power to interpret the experiences of the protagonist.

Genom vårt arbete om miljöbrottslighet har vi visat på de problem och svårigheter som uppträder vid utredningar om miljöbrottslighet. Detta har vi gjort genom att intervjua åklagare, poliser samt representanter ifrån tillsynsmyndigheterna som är aktiva på fältet, samt satt oss in i litteratur som är inriktad på miljöbrottslighet. Vi har inom miljölagstiftningen huvudsakligen hållit oss i Miljöbalkens 29, 30 kapitel. Denna miljöbalk togs i bruk år 1999 och har drastiskt påverkat brottsstatistiken inom miljöbrottslighetens område. Anmälda brott mot miljöbalken har dubblerats både i Örebro och på ett nationellt plan.

Recent turmoil surrounding nuclear power as an energy source, especially since the accidentat Fukushima, has largely contributed to the debate of whether or not nuclear power should beused as an energy source. This study has examined the economic feasibility of replacingForsmark?s 3rd nuclear reactor with a bio fueled power plant, and find out how this could bedone.The power generation that has to be replaced is equal to 1170 MWe. To replace this, 6 largescaleCFB-boilers, each providing over 200 MWe, were necessary. In addition to this, eachboiler required their respective turbine sets, comprising one high-pressure-, and one lowpressureturbine with intermediate reheating capacities.Based on this, a rankine-cycle was modeled using the software EES, to be able to calculatethe total heat required in the power plant.

Syftet med denna undersökning är att genom intervjuer och en fenomenografisk ansats kartlägga unga vuxnas uppfattningar av begreppet världens undergång, samt belysa de olika etiska förhållningssätt och livsåskådningar som diskuteras i denna kontext. Undersökningen baseras på nio kvalitativa, semistrukturerade intervjuer med unga vuxna i åldern 18-25 som levt större delen av sitt liv i Sverige, går eller har gått i svensk skola, ser sig som tillhörande en av de abrahamitiska religionerna judendom, islam eller kristendom, eller är socialt präglad av någon av dessa. Intervjuerna genomfördes hösten 2013. Intervjupersonerna har kontaktats och valts ut främst på skillnader i kön, social bakgrund och utbildningsbakgrund. Intervjuerna har blivit analyserade utifrån en fenomenografisk ansats.

Den här studien utgår ifrån en intervjuundersökning med förskolebarn i en kommun i Mellansverige utförd efter Skolinspektionens besök i kommunens förskolor och med utgångspunkt från en av de åtgärdspunkter förskolorna fick att arbeta med efter inspektionen. Den åtgärdspunkt som föranledde intervjuundersökningen handlade om att få ett underlag till den plan mot kränkande behandling och diskriminering som varje enhet inom skolväsendet skall upprätta årligen. Underlaget skulle bestå i att förskolebarnen var delaktiga i den process som föregick upprättandet av denna plan. Den del av studien som avhandlas i detta arbete utgick ifrån intervjuerna som utfördes på en av dessa förskolor. De viktigaste frågorna i denna studie var att undersöka om förskolebarnen upplevde sig vara inneslutna i eller uteslutna från lek med andra barn och om de upplevde sig vara utsatta för någon form av kränkande behandling på någon plats i den pedagogiska miljön samt om de ansåg sig ha något inflytande över sin vardag på förskolan.

AbstractThe use of temporary agency workers has increased significantly during the last decades. Due to considerable differences in the legal status and working conditions of temporary agency workers within the EU, the directive 2008/104/EC on temporary agency work was adopted in 2008. The current directive has a two folded purpose, first and foremost to improve the employment and working conditions for temporary agency workers, by establishing the principle of equal treatment. The second purpose is to create greater acceptance for the temporary work agencies, and also to review and remove any unjustified restrictions or prohibitions against them.There are several different models for labour market regulation represented within the EU. The Swedish and Nordic model has through history relied heavily on regulation via collective agreements, entered into by the social partners, with a minimal amount of state interference and regulation.For Sweden there is a potential problem in the implementation of the directive on temporary agency work, since it follows from case law by the European Court of Justice (ECJ).
