Purpose/Aim: The purpose of this essay is to see how the media, through the newspaper, "Vi föräldrar?, produces family and parental roles, and to investigate how the image changed over time.Material/Method: The material consists of a number of selected texts from the years 1968, 1988 and 2008. The method used is a discourse analysis based on the three level model by Norman Fairclough. The three levels are the text, the discourse practise and the sociocultural practise. In this study two of the levels, text and sociocultural practise, are used in analysing the texts.Main results: Family and parenting in the texts from 1968 can be linked to the structural functionalist theory in which the core family is central and women and men are assigned to specific roles.

Inadequate data quality has a negative effect for organizations, however utilization of modern technology and data analysis may shape new values for organizations. Our research has found that the quality of information in field reports for error reporting varies significantly. In many cases, the information in the field reports are deficient in such way that the field report need additional information from the sender, thus risking prolonging lead times in the error reporting process. More efficient use of information has become possible with today?s technology.

The purpose of this essay is to illustrate how the position of power / exercise of power are perceived in today's schools from the teacher's perspective. I have examined how students' freedom and democracy education interpreted in real life, and how this affects both teacher and student learning approaches. I would also highlight the need to set standards for children's psychological development related to the consequences will be. I have chosen to perform a qualitative research through individual interviews with five participating teachers from different experiences in different type of school. I have used the hermeneutic method of analysis to analyze the material.

The aim of this master thesis is to examine how female identity is formed in two novels and two short stories from the 1880?s. As a framework we rely on the method outlined by Pierre Bourdieu when he approaches the cultural and social worlds through the concept of fields. To understand the female position during that time we use Michel Foucault?s work about the history of sex, Thomas Laqueur?s theories about the rise of sexes and Karin Johannisson?s study about the exploration of the dark continent (i.e.

Denna studie har genomförts för att belysa skillnader i olika mediers roll för minnet och lärandet hos elever i gymnasieskolan. Syftet har varit att jämföra audiovisuell stimuli i form av utbildningsfilm med motsvarande information i skriftlig version utifrån ett kort- och långsiktigt perspektiv, då båda dessa medium används inom skolan utan några egentliga kunskaper kring deras för- och nackdelar. Två jämförande experiment med andra- och tredjeårselever på gymnasiet har genomförts där eleverna har indelats i olika testgrupper. Hälften av eleverna har vid experiment 1 sett på en utbildningsfilm, medan resterande har läst motsvarande information i skriven text. Därefter har ett omgående kunskapsprov med fasta svarsalternativ genomförts, följt av ett liknande prov tre veckor senare.

This report presents a thesis project conducted by two students at Mälardalens högskola. The project covers 15 points in industrial design and was conducted during April to June 2014. The principal of the thesis works at Plastic Produkter. The assignment was to develop equipment for an effective way to dose, mix silicon, fill a special designed plastic bag and then seal it. The bag is then formed into a breast model.When a customer for various reasons decides to do a breast augmentation or a breast reconstruction, there may be doubt or uncertainty about the result.

The main objective of this study has been to explore how art therapists experience the visual art´s that can be used in the promotion of health among people with depression - and anxiety disorders. The concept of SOC- sense of coherence has been a central term and a link between imaging and SOC were identified in the study. The underlying method in the study was a qualitative form, where semi-structured interviews were used. Through a strategic- sample five female art therapist were contacted, who all came to participate in the study. The study is essentially based on hermeneutical method and the analysis of interview material has been analyst by using thematic analysis.

The concept of building work environment co- ordinator is a relatively new concept that has its origin in the amendment to the Working Environment Act which came into force on 1 January 2009. The terms; building work environment co-ordinator appointed for planning and design and building work environment co-ordinator for the execution of building or civil engineering work ushered in the industry. Once these disciplines complement one another, you can achieve a smooth handover to ensure a good and healthy working environment.In this thesis, we study a company in Uppsala and their operations and handover by interviewing the relevant staff in question. The result shows that there are currently no present guidelines for how and when the handover should take place, it is up to each individual to provide themselves with the relevant information.If the handover of the work environment would occur to the extent it should it would lead to minimized proportions of unforeseen risks and events that may occur during the production phase, which ultimately leads to a better and healthier working environment..

The concept competence is considered to be difficult to define. Therefore, it may be problematic to define competence in business and to evaluate the level of skills of employees (Thomsen, 2010). In this study the aim has been to identify key competencies for employees working as purchasers for Skanska Nordic Procurement Unit (NPU). These key competencies will afterwards help Skanska NPU to evaluate purchasers? level of competence.The theoretical framework of the study consists of three different parts.

Vårt examensarbete handlar om språkstörning i kombination med flerspråkighet. Vi gör en text- och bildanalys av två testmaterial, Nya Lundamaterialet och Nya SIT. Syftet med vårt examensarbete är att undersöka om och i så fall på vilka sätt dessa tester ger barn med annat modersmål än svenska förutsättningar att utföra testet. De frågor som ligger till grund för detta arbete är: Hur är testmaterialen konstruerade? Hur är bedömningsmaterialet utformat vad gäller hänsynstagande till kultur, etnicitet och flerspråkighet? Vad är det som bedöms i de tester som logopedmottagningen använder sig av vid en misstänkt språkstörning? De metoder vi har använt oss av för att kunna besvara våra frågeställningar är text- och bildanalys och intervjuer.

The aim of this study is to analyse how pupils in grade three use punctuation and howthey divide texts into sentences. The material in the study consists of 41 texts by pupils,divided into two types: narrative text and analytical text, written both by pupils withSwedish as their first language and by pupils with Swedish as their second language. Inthe study the pupils? use of connectives and comma splices has been studied, and therelationship between graphical and syntactical sentences in the texts. The studycompares the results for narrative and analytical texts and the differences between L1and L2 pupils.

This thesis aims to investigate the positioning concept of industrial services. We chose to identify the reasons why positioning is used as well as to describe the positioning process. The research strategy chosen for this thesis was a case study of a consultancy firm Benima AB. This firm was chosen due to the fact that a new positioning concept during the latest year hade been implemented and therefore seemed like a good choice for our study. Of the six available theoretical reasons for positioning, we found that Benima AB had two of them: namely change in target market or their needs and demands and renewed company identity/personality.

AbstraktUppsatsen stödjer sig på en kvalitativ undersökning som har sin utgångspunkt i två skildaläroböcker i religion, avsedda för gymnasieskolan. Uppsatsens syfte är att jämföra hur islamoch muslimer framställs i läroböckerna, samt om ett maktperspektiv går att urskilja. Sommetod används diskursanalys där läroböckernas text är utgångspunkt för analysen. Begreppetorientalism har för uppsatsen en central betydelse för huruvida bilden av islam och muslimerframställs i text. Vidare förs en diskussion runt huruvida Läroplan för de frivilligaskolformerna, (Lpf 94) samt gymnasieskolans kursplan i religionskunskap, ligger i linje medläroböckernas framställning av islam och muslimer.Nyckelord: läroböcker, islam, muslimer, orientalism.

This essay ? Discourse and Dissonance ? deals with Mary Shelley?s gothic novel Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus (1818). The focal point is the construction of ?Them and Us?, as defined by scholars such as Stuart Hall, viewed in terms of the following categories: race, gender and family, class, and sexuality. Rather than applying an outside perspective, e.g.

I den här rapporten redovisas ett designprojekt som utgår ifrån vårt kulturlandskapängen. Arbetet undersöker den problematik som rör ängarnas försvinnande samt utforskar kulturella och biologiska värden. Med hjälp av illustrerad bild och text i ett bokformat, där designern står som avsändare, strävar projektet efter att kommunicera aspekter av ängen och dess situation samt belysa ett rådande förhållningssätt i vår tid. Som metod utforskas och inventeras spår i det urbana kulturlandskapet och genom detta synliggörs såväl mänsklig aktivitet som tid och kulturella avtryck. Resultatet blir en bok med en blandning av text och bild i olika konstnärliga tekniker, som tillsammans målar upp en bild av författarens blick, minne och upplevelse av det som är och det som var.TitelnAsfaltsstigar är en kombination av två begrepp som syftar till de olika landskap som människan rör sig i..
