Detta kandidatarbete undersöker hur en karaktärs fantasi kan gestaltas med genren magisk realism inom animerad film. Under arbetets gång har vi undersökt olika filmer med magisk realism som genre, så som Pan?s Labyrinth, Ally McBeal och Six Feet Under och The Science of Sleep. I detta arbete presenterar vi de metoder vi valt för att skapa en animerad film med genren magisk realism.

Following the accident at the nuclear power plant in Chernobyl in 1986, great volumes of137Cs were distributed over large parts of the former Soviet Union and Europe. Over Scotland,radiocaesium was deposited as wet deposition. Due to the relatively long physical half-life of30 years, there are still measurable activity concentrations in the natural environment. Thisstudy was made on two organic soils, Knockandy Hill and Rora Moss, situated in the easternpart of the central highlands of Scotland. At these two sites, studies on migration and transferbetween soil and plants were conducted.

This thesis deal with tick burden on roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) fawns, in relation to age, weight, hind foot length, and as well as to vegetation and habitat on bed sites. Roe deer fawns (N = 25) were captured from May 27 to June 27. Samples of ticks were collected and tick burden were estimated. Of all sampled ticks the nymphs and adults were Ixodes ricinus, while the larvae were not identified. 4.4 % of the sampled ticks were larvae, 55.0 % nymphs, 26.8 % adult females, and 13.8 % adult males.

In search of Umbilicaria subglabra In Sweden Umbilicaria subglabra has its only known occurrence in Lybergsgnupens nature reserve in the county of Dalarna where it has been found only once in 1936. It was found on the east-facing rock spur, approximately 650 meters above sea-level. The lichen is now red-listed as Regionally Extinct (RE) in Sweden. The aim of this study was find U. subglabra.

Reindeer husbandry and Forestry are both area related industries and will in big extent use the same lands. Conflicts often arise because of that the industries have different interests. Many of the activities done by the forestry influences the reindeer husbandry in an undesirable way, simultaneously as the reindeer husbandry activities can have negative consequences for the forestry. One such forestry activity is fertilization. It was during the 1960´s forest fertilization began to be practiced and the reason was that the increase in growth that the fertilization gave could be able to cover for the future shortage in wood many feared. During the 1970´s when the fertilizing activities were most intensive about 200 000 ha was fertilized annually.

A few hundred metres from the beach on Fårö, Gotland, is a small lot with pine trees, green moss and wild fl owers situated, owned by my brother and sister. Eventually they would like tobuild a summerhouse here, in close proximity to their relatives. My project is a proposal for the summerhouse at the site, within the restrictions of 61 m² building area, with focus on interior,exterior and the environment.My proposal is a house close to the surrounding nature, with reference to the the building tratition on the island and with local materials. Orientation to the sun, road and neighbours hasall infl uenced my ideas of this house and the relation between inside and outdoor living, were important in my creative work. The aim was to create a house made for the family and theirholiday lifestyle and allowed consideration for the possibility of a growing family with more children.

I naturen har färgen på hönans (Gallus) fjädrar en betydande roll för dess överlevnad och reproduktion. I början av domesticeringen handlade det om att selektera ut individer för produktion, religiösa seder och tuppfäktning. De senaste århundradena har även det estetiska utseendet fått en större betydelse i vårt samhälle, både när det gäller färg och mönster på hönans fjäderdräkt men även när det gäller färgen på dess äggskal. Man har genom studier visat att pigmentet melanin har en betydande roll för fjädrarnas färg och mönster. Genom forskning har man kunnat identifiera olika gener som är inblandade vid uttrycket av fjäderdräktens färg och mönster och några av dessa loci är E, C och I.

During the late 1800s fire suppression became increasingly effective in northern Sweden which led to decreased areas of fire-disturbed woodland and successive changes in the structure of forests. In the long run this can pose a serious threat to fire-dependent and fire-favored species. Today some fire-prone forest reserves are burned as a nature conservation act. Often partial cuttings are made before burning, with somewhat different motives. The purpose of the study in Långsidberget nature reserve was to give a general picture of forest history and its affect on today?s forest condition, and to show how partial cuttings affect burning conditions and results. Långsidberget is located close to areas that were colonized during the Middle Ages.

Detta är en genusvetenskaplig uppsats och syftet är att undersöka förutsättningarna för de kvinnliga ledarna i en kvinnodominerad ledningsgrupp. Undersökningen är kvalitativ och baseras på intervjustudier och fältanteckningar från företaget som gjorts under okt-dec-2006. Deltagandeobservation av ett gruppmöte samt företagets årsredovisningar och lönelistor har använts som kompletterande material. De teoretiska ramverken har varit Moss Kanters teori om organisationer och La Clau och Mouffes diskursanalys. Resultatet och analysen är indelade i tre avsnitt.I första avsnittet behandlas chefsideal och normer för ledarskap, och dess könsmärkning problematiseras.

Syftet med studien är att undersöka vilka kvaliteter föräldralediga och icke förvärvsarbetande föräldrar till barn på förskolan uttrycker att förskolan besitter. Studien har inspirerats av ett   postmodernt perspektiv. Detta innebär att vi utgår från att förskoleinstitutioner blir vad vi som samhällsaktörer gör dem till. De bär inte på några inneboende kvaliteter, naturgivna syften eller egenskaper (Dahlberg, Moss & Pence, 2001).  För att besvara frågeställningen hur föräldralediga och icke förvärvsarbetande föräldrar till barn på förskolan uttrycker förskolans roll har vi valt att använda oss av kvalitativa intervjuer.

This bachelor thesis explores the library collaboration "HelGe-libraries" goals, guidelines and strategies for their resource sharing of library books and digital resources. The questions asked were: What does the resource sharing look like when it comes to media and services? What goals and guidelines do they have for the resource sharing? What common strategies do they have for the resource sharing? What challenges have they encountered with resource sharing and how have they dealt with them?The theoretical framework consists of Jennifer Rowleys theory of innovation strategies for libraries and Rosabeth Moss Kanters theory on the art of alliances. The method used to collect material was interviews and document analysis. Four informants were interviewed.My study concludes that the "HelGe-libraries" has formulated goals for their resource sharing and that the resource sharing is connected to their goals.

In the debate on laying hen welfare, and specifically housing conditions, the main focushas been on physiological and behavioural measures. What is lacking is knowledge of howthe hen experiences the situation ? her state of mind.This study is an attempt to gain insight into the private mental states of former batteryhens. It uses a cognitive bias method based on spatial judgement, i.e. judgement of aambiguous stimulus placed spatially in between a reinforced and an unreinforced stimulus.This method has previously shown differences in judgement by animals in enriched versuspoor housing.

Uppsatsen undersöker tre fiktiva medietexter, två serier och en film, samt 82 ledarporträtt i tidningen Veckans Affärer. Genom en hermeneutisk ansats tolkar vi medietexterna för att se om det finns en skillnad i hur män och kvinnor i ledarposition framställs. Vi analyserar såväl det som framställs i bilder som det sagda och skrivna i dessa medietexter. Uppsatsens teoretiska bas utgörs av relevanta teorier i ämnena företagsekonomi, medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap samt genusvetenskap. Vi använder oss av teorier för medieanalys i kombination med teorier kring ledarskap och genus för att skapa en så heltäckande teoretisk bas som vi anser krävs för att uppfylla vårt syfte.

Pupils learn in different ways. It?s up to the teachers´ to give pupils the knowledge they need to live and work in society. The teacher should be aware of the ways of children learn in the classroom and should teach accordingly. Pupils work individually but should even be offered some kind of group work regularly.
