The purpose of this essay is to examine and compare the news covering of Swedens three biggest cities (the metropolitan areas) and their surrounding areas with the covering of the rest of the country (the provincial areas) in two daily national newspapers, Aftonbladet and Dagens Nyheter. The aim has been to answer the following questions:- What amount of the news coverage in Aftonbladet and Dagens Nyheter concern the metropolitan areas compared to the provincial areas, and how do these two newspapers differ in the news covering of these areas?- Is there a difference in the news articles size and content, depending on weather they concern the metropolitan or the provincial areas?- How has the balance between news concerning metropolitan and provincial areas changed over the recent 20 years?The theories used in this study are News values, the media commercialization and Popular Journalism, and The Agenda Setting Theory. The method that has been used is a Quantitative Content Analysis.Despite the essays hypothesis, that the news coverage in the two newspapers would be dominated by material from the metropolitan areas, the result showed that a majority of the examined articles concern the provincial areas. It also showed that Aftonbladet has a bigger percentage of provincial news than Dagens Nyheter.

Heart failure is an illness that requires life-long treatment and often affects everyday aspects of a person?s life. Self-care is a significant part of the treatment. Good self-care resources make it possible for people with heart failure to make the lifestyle changes they often need to maintain or improve their level of health. Self-care means having knowledge of and being able to recognize the symptoms and signs of deterioration that can occur with heart failure, so that the person can take appropriate measures ? and it also means knowing when it is time to seek professional help.

The purpose of this study is to examine who were given the opportunity to express their opinions in the government proposition concerning the future of the school system ? particularly regarding the proposal that pupils do compulsory military service - submitted to the Swedish parliament 21 March 1941. Our focus is mainly on three parts of the proposition: the proposal to introduce shooting- and grenade practice for all pupils, the proposal to introduce an obligatory military leadership training course for teachers and the proposal to introduce an obligatory summer camp for all pupils.Using primarily a qualitative method we examine how different opinions and views are expressed in the statements and utterances responding to the pending proposition and who the responders are. We will attempt to clarify who were considered to be undisputed authorities and experts, and whose opinions, for that reason, carried a lot of weight in the decision making process, comparing them to the statements and utterances submitted on a voluntary basis by non-experts. And finally, to what extent the opinions in the statements and utterances were allowed to guide the propositional work.Results show that the statements and utterances were submitted by authorities, chapter, county administrative boards and religious, non-profit and political organizations as well as different types of schools, representatives from the Board of Education and elementary school boards not a part of county councils or other types of associations.

Den här studien handlar om hur olika yrkeskategorier såsom rektor, lärare, fritidspedagog och specialpedagog menar att de skapar ?en skola för alla?, vilka möjligheter och svårigheter som finns i detta arbete samt vad de skulle vilja förändra för att bättre kunna möta alla barns olika behov i skolan. Som metod har kvalitativa intervjuer använts och nio personer har intervjuats. Alla informanter är positivt inställda till inkludering av elever som är i behov av särskilt stöd och menar att möjligheterna att förverkliga ?en skola för alla? finns, men att det ofta saknas resurser för att det ska kunna fungera bra, både för elever och pedagoger.

In a time when economic crises relieving one another, it is especially interesting to study how companies choose to finance their operations. Since there is a lack of studies that include banks, and their capital structures, with the rest of the finance market, it is uncertain whether the theories of capital structure are applicable. Therefore, this essay aims to study whether there is any correlation between the two variables debt-equity ratio and return on equity (ROE) for Swedish corporations on the finance market.In accordance with the theorems that the professors Modigliani and Miller filed, in 1958 and 1961, which describes a clear link between debts, increase corporate value through the tax shield and indirectly increased yields. Although these theorems are the foundation of the modern research they focus on perfect markets. Therefore, this paper has also chosen to place great emphasis on theories such as Trade-off and Pecking-order.

We have inquired into how the amount of foreign news has changed over the last 30 years in two major Swedish newspapers, which subjects and regions has dominated the content of the foreign news and what subjects dominate the reporting from certain regions. This was done with a quantitative analysis of subjects and regions written about in 1100 news texts during a week in each year of 1978, 1988, 1998 and 2008. To further broaden our study, we also charted with the analysis how the newspapers domesticate foreign news and how they use international news agencies. As a basis for our discussion we use Van Ginnekens theories of world news centres, Westerståhl & Johanssons and Galtung & Ruges theories of foreign news selection as well as the theories of Hjarvard and Biltereyst about the domestication of foreign news due to commercial pressures and objectives on the newspapers. Our result of the amount of foreign news in the two newspapers is also compared to several similar empirical studies by different researchers.

Roughly 130 000 dwellings have been officially registered since Norway as of summer 2009 passed their bill ?Energimerkeforskriften? on energy performance certificates in buildings. The main objective is to decrease the total amount of national energy consumption by producing a methodology of calculation of the integrated energy performance of buildings as well as proposing cost effective measures to lower each building?s energy consumption. As the measures should not contravene nor be incompatible with the intended quality and character of the building, the ?Energimerkeforskriften? exempts buildings that due to their historical and cultural values are protected cultural heritage legislation. The current system offers a couple of professional certification alternatives, but when two online semi-automatic methods developed specifically for non-professionals are by far the most used, and since the methods of calculation primarily have focused on modern building materials and construction, the rest of the historical building stock stands literally unprotected by incorrect performance certificates and high-risk energy efficient measures. The objective of this thesis is to identify if the current Norwegian energy certificate system poses a threat to older buildings.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka vad som sker under och i samband med lässtunden på förskolan. Mer specifikt studerades hur man bearbetade litteraturen och hur samspelet skedde mellan pedagog och barn. Undersökningen utfördes genom observationer vid sex tillfällen på en förskola. Resultatet visar att litteraturen bearbetades genom att man introducerade boken, ställde frågor, klargjorde och återberättade. Bilden spelade dessutom en betydelsefull roll eftersom den utvidgade innehållet i boken och inbjöd till samtal och interaktion.

Bakgrund: Bröstcancer är den vanligaste cancerformen hos kvinnor och i Sverige insjuknar 7000 kvinnor per år. Överlevnaden i bröstcancer har ökat de senaste åren tack vare regelbundna mammografiundersökningar och förbättrade behandlingsformer. Det är vanligt att kvinnor vid diagnosbeskedet upplever starka känsloreaktioner som rädsla och chock.Syfte: Syftet med studien var att belysa kvinnors upplevelser av att drabbas av bröstcancer.Metod: Studien bygger på en kvalitativ ansats med ett livsvärldsperspektiv. Data samlades in genom sju självbiografiska böcker skrivna av kvinnor som drabbats av bröstcancer. Analysen gjordes enligt Graneheim och Lundmans (2004) kvalitativa innehållsanalys.Resultat: Det framkom att kvinnor upplevde en förändrad livsvärld då de drabbades av bröstcancer.

The aim of this thesis is to study the private owner structure in the Swedish forestry. This will be done with both a investigation of forest owners in Småland the year 2000 and 2001 and also a statistic research for the private forest owners in Sweden right now and over the years. In Sweden more than half of the total forest area is owned by private forest owner, witch is approximately 22 600 000 ha. Private forestry includes the owner categories private person, ordinary partnership and the estate of deceased persons. The main part of the private forestry is to be found in Norrland but also in the rest of Sweden private forestry constitute a large part of the forestry area.

Denna uppsats handlar om hur nyanlända elever integreras i det svenska skolsystemet. Syftet med studien är att analysera dessa elevers möte med den svenska skolan samt hur de skapar sina identiteter utifrån utsagor om sin skolsituation i förberedelseklass. Undersökningen består av kvalitativa intervjuer med åtta nyanlända elever som nyligen introducerats i den svenska grundskolan samt antingen går i förberedelseklass eller nyligen har slussats vidare från den. Resultatet visar att elevernas identiteter skapas av en rad referenspunkter, varav de mest framträdande är placeringen i förberedelseklass, språket samt relationerna till de ordinarie klassernas elever. Här bildas ett hierarkiskt system mellan eleverna där "vi", "förberedelseklasseleverna" står lägst i rang medan "dem", "svenskarna" står högst.

Examensarbetets syfte är att undersöka vad Kultur på recept för långtidssjukskrivna personer kan betyda för individen och samhället, samt vilken kultursyn som genomsyrar projektidén. Frågeställningarna diskuteras via två kanaler: ljud och akademisk text. Ljudproduktionen, som bör lyssnas på innan uppsatsen läses, är nyfiket undrande medan den akademiska uppsatsen är mer kritiskt analyserande. De båda är lika ?sanningsbärande? trots att de ska förmedla olika känslor, insikter och frågor hos mottagaren.

Abstract Aims and objectives. To examine whether an intervention with carbohydrate- counting at onset of type 1 diabetes in children, has had any effect on metabolic indicators such as HbA1c , BMI-sds and total daily insulin / kg, 2 months and 1 year after onset by age and gender .Background. The pediatric department at the university hospital of Norrland in Umeå (NUS), has since several years a higher average HbA1c among children 0-17 years, compare with pediatric departments in the rest of Sweden.  Therefore, in autumn 2011, an intervention was made to teach children with diabetes and their parents to count carbohydrates from the onset of diabetes. Using this method they can regulate their insulin doses depending on the amount of carbohydrates they are eating.Design. This is an empirical registry study done on the basis of a quantitative method.
