Abstract The purpose of this work is to investigate children?s perception of Swedish birds. Through qualitative questions there were twelve children interviewed. I showed the pictures for the children of different animals that we discussed but with focus on birds. The children could partly distinguish which of the pictures that represented birds and who did not.

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the new Swedish curriculum, GY11 brought with it changes to how non-religious world-views are presented in five different books in religious education, RE. The method used to analyze the material was a qualitative content analysis as well as counting the pages that dealt with secular world-views. This was later analyzed using philosopher Charles Taylors description and theory on secularization. This was used to identify secular processes as well as to define wether the books definition and description of secular world-views using Taylors concept of ?exclusive humanism?.The research questions are:? What are the authors writing about when describing the secular world- views?? What differences and similarities are there between the different editions prior and after the implementation of the new curriculum, GY11?? Are the secular world-views presented in a way that is compatible with Taylors concept of ?exclusive humanism??The results that are being presented are, first of all that the change between the different editions are not big.

Fetma är ett samhällsproblem i alla åldersgrupper på många håll i världen. Fetma och övervikt hos barn och ungdomar kan ge både fysiskt och psykiskt negativa effekter. Det finns flera orsaker till att fetma uppkommer, olika faktorer som livsstil, miljö, och arv kan samverka i utvecklingen av fetma. I det svenska samhället är risken för fetma ökad eftersom det finns nästintill obegränsad tillgång till fett- och energirik kost samt att de individuella kraven på fysisk aktivitet är låga..

In this bachelor thesis the aim is to explore how university libraries and researchers function together. I will do this through interviews with phd students and examine how they reason on the use of libraries and other resources available in campus and witch other methods they use to gather information. The graduate students differ in where they are with their research process, but all of them work in the field of social sciences. To help me in my analysis I have adopted Wilsons model of information behaviour and modify this to better suit my purpose. My findings show that they mainly use the library to access materials and avoid use of the librarians, due to perception of low usefulness.

Hur m?nniskor definierar h?lsa varierar, m?nniskor prioriterar ?ven h?lsan p? olika s?tt. Idag ?r det m?nga som hoppar av tr?ningen innan en beteendef?r?ndring hinner ske. Det ?r viktigt att k?nna till hur motivation fungerar eftersom det ger en ?kning av kontroll, utveckling samt beteendef?r?ndring.

The aim of the study was to examine prerequisites for the changes that are taking place within working with Intimate Partner Violence in Va?stra Hisingen (a municipal district in Gothenburg, Sweden). My research questions concerned incentives for the new features, their practical consequences and prerequisites for implementation. The study has been performed by three focus group interviews with different parts of the organization represented. The work material has then been analyzed using Implementation Theory, Human Service Organization Theory and theories on breaking up.

The purpose of this essay is to look at how the depiction of cats is performed in childrens? picture books. I will analyze eight pictures from four different books, two from each. The books are from two different decades: from the 1960s and from the 2000s.My ambition is to see if there are any artistic or cultural differences when comparing the two decades? depictions of cats to each other.

Discussing light and lighting in the night-time environment of Tensta, a Stockholm suburb built between 1962 and 1970, this thesis suggests that lighting should be designed for the outdoor environment as a whole. The feeling of safety and human perception are important components in this thesis. Starting with some comments on visual perception and how we adapt our sight to an interval of the visual input we get, makes it possible to understand that more light sometimes hides, rather than reveals, things. Amongst the dispersed houses, in the green parks of Tensta, this turns the pedestrian roads, lit by pole-top-mounted fixtures, into light tunnels in a dark surrounding. Talking about the feeling of safety I am inspired by, amongst others K. Lynch, B. Hjort and J.

The purpose of this study was to examine six girls and boys in grade 4 use of adjectives in narrative texts and examine students' perception and experience of writing from a gender perspective. The methods used were text analysis and an interview. The results showed that girls write more adjectives than boys, but no further significant difference in their use of adjectives was found. There was a certain stereotypical difference in which adjectives they wrote and their attitudes toward writing. Girls are more positive to writing and see writing primarily important for school, while boys think writing is important to succeed in life..

The aim of my bachelor?s thesis is to investigate, through a literature review, changes in the distribution of filamentous algae as well as the general species composition of macroalgae and diatoms in Swedish eelgrass meadows. I have also studied the possibility of tracking these algae and diatoms in eelgrass meadows using eDNA methodology. The focus has been on linking these changes to climate change factors such as eutrophication, temperature increase, and anthropogenic emissions, and how these affect the health of eelgrass meadows and their ecosystem services, such as a carbon sink and biodiversity support. The results show that filamentous algae have increased markedly in coverage in Swedish coastal areas between 1980 and 2021, especially in sheltered bays, indicating that altered environmental conditions favor these fast-growing species. Genetic tracking using eDNA demonstrated that there are functional primers for many species, particularly among brown algae and red algae, whereas green algae require more specific primers due to greater genetic variation.

The purpose of this thesis was to increase the understanding and discuss safety aspects in two stairwells on Nyforsgatan in Eskilstuna, where the buildings were built during the years 1965-1975. I have presented a proposal for improvement through lighting. I have through different methods, such as surveys, interviews, literature studies and observations, come to a conclusion: that there are opportunities for improvement through better lighting that allows orientation in space and creates a nice atmosphere which will remove the feeling of not being safe, e.g. dark corners and shadows. It has been an exciting process to gather enough of facts to rely on and to develop the lighting design for the environments.

I januari 2011 ratificerade Sverige den europeiska landskapskonventionen och förband sig därigenom att med sitt rättssystem och sin administration leva upp till dess värden. Konventionen trädde i kraft den 1:a maj 2011 i Sverige. Vissa av konventionens nyckelmeningar berör landskapsanalysen som verktyg och manar samtidigt till en beskrivning som grundar sig i allmänhetens perception av landskapen. Föreliggande rapport är uppdelad i en kvantitativ och en kvalitativ studie. I den kvantitativa studien har 348 planeringsunderlag från 176 av Sveriges 290 kommuner och 13 av Sveriges 21 länsstyrelser genomsökts efter sökord. Dessa sökord har valts ut för att representera de aspekter av den europeiska landskapskonventionen som jag menar är av stor vikt vid uppförandet av landskapsanalyser.

De sto?rsta affa?rsjuridiska advokatbyra?erna i Sverige har genomga?tt stora fo?ra?ndringar de senaste decennierna och advokatens yrkesroll a?r i fo?ra?ndring. Byra?erna har blivit mer professionella i strukturen, men dess a?gandeform har la?nge fo?rblivit ofo?ra?ndrad. A?gandeformen besta?r av ett dela?garskap vilket inneba?r att advokatbyra?n a?gs av ett antal advokater som a?ven a?r ansta?llda pa? samma byra?.

I detta examensarbete beskriver jag FMT-metoden, Funktionsinriktad MusikTerapi. Mitt syfte har varit att ta reda på hur FMT kan stödja elever med läs- och skrivsvårigheter i skolan. Jag beskriver i två fallbeskrivningar hur jag har arbetat med FMT med två elever som har läs- och skrivsvårigheter. Min slutsats är att FMT har en plats i grundskolan. Med FMT som resurs, skulle fler elever kunna fångas upp och få stöd med läs- och skrivinlärning. Fler elever skulle kunna ta till sig skolans undervisning och därigenom klara skolans mål. .

A growing need to strengthen ones position on the market, even as a city in competition with other cities, has resulted in an increasing number of municipalities developing brand platforms. When the city of Umeå developed their platform, they identified decision makers and investors as one of four important target groups.The aim of this study is to explore the portrayed image of the city of Umeå in two Swedish trade journals which addresses the specific target group decition makers and investors in both public and private sector. The aim is also to compare the image of Umeå in the two papers, to the ambition of the municipality, expressed in the brand platform.In order to make the observations as firmly established as possible, the method of the study is a combination of a quantitative content analysis and a qualitative text analysis. The study draws on the theories of Eli Avraham and Philip Kotler, concerning how to improve city images and how to market a specific city among others. The study shows that the city of Umeå in large extent is portrayed in accordance to the ambition which the municipality expressed in the brand platform.Umeå is displayed as an expanding city.
