Syftet med denna uppsats är att ta reda på hur gymnasieskolors webbtexter kan förstås i förhållande till diskurs. För att undersöka detta utgår jag från Norman Faircloughs kritiska diskursanalys och den systemisk-funktionella grammatiken (SFG). Jag undersöker fyra webbtexter som beskriver fyra olika gymnasieskolor ? två privata och två kommunala skolor.Uppsatsens ansats är språkvetenskaplig. Stor vikt läggs därför vid den systemisk-funktionella grammatiken.

AbstractTITLE Birdflu in the press ? a critical discourse analysis on the tabloidnewspaper ExpressenAUTHOR Per VågebrantSUPERVISOR Malin SveningssonPURPOSE The purpose of this essay is to find out how the Swedish tabloid newspaper Expressen writes about the birdflu H5N1. To be more precise the purpose is to find out how the discourse is constructed. The Birdflu or H5N1 witch is its real name is something that could affect us all, yet very few people know a lot about it. To achieve this purpose I constructed one primary research question:o How has Expressen, in the public media discourse, treated the phenomena we know as the birdflu?This primary research question holds three more specified research questions:o What does Expressens discourse about the birdflu look like?o What actors are participating in the articles?o Why does the discourse look like this?THEORY The theory chapter of the essay contains four different parts.

Hälsans Trädgård is a project which is going to start in Gamla Linköping, Sweden. The authors were commissioned by Arbetslivsresurs, a company working with work rehabilitation, to select, define and make job analyses on five work tasks at Hälsans Trädgård in Gamla Linköping. A job analysis means an analysis of the demands the job make of the individual. The job analysis used in this study is called The Revised Handbook for Analyzing Jobs (RHAJ) and is from the US Department of Labor (DOL). As RHAJ is an American instrument, the authors produced a form where the concepts are translated into Swedish to make the analysis easier.

It is important for all companies to be seen on a competitive market. It?s all about positioning yourself so that you?re seen and that you?re are attractive for both customers and employees.

This thesis has evaluated environmental classifications of projects and the lessons learned to explore what the possible ramifications of implementing this in the construction and infrastructure are. Companies today are looking to develop methods to demonstrate their environmental commitments, but there is an uncertainty regarding the contribution of environmental classifications in this aspect.The literature review presents the theory of environmental classification, which provides a general knowledge of its function. The empirical data is based on an analysis of existing classification methods and qualitative interviews. The analysis shows specific environmental classification system for the area of construction and infrastructure. CEEQUAL is currently the only environmental classification applicable to Swedish projects and therefore serves as the basis for the continued analysis.

Purpose/Aim: The aim with my study is to reveal changes in the construction of gender in weekly press over time. To do so I study the picture of the woman on front pages of the Swedish magazine Veckorevyn.Material/Method: Qualitative research method, semiotic picture analysis.Main results: There have been a lot of changes in the picture of the woman in Veckorevyn over the years and the results points to a more objectifying picture. The woman has gone from doing something and actually having a role, to simply being there to be looked at, all passive..

Larsberg på Lidingö byggdes sent sextiotal i tidstypisk anda. En ny stadsdel anlades med fj orton tiovåningars skivhus, tre lägre lamellhus och ett mindre centrum för service och handel. Området anlades som hus i park, på det viset att man lade bostadshusen i en stor båge kring befi ntlig natur som genomskars med gångvägar och kantades med extensiva gräsytor. De öppnare ytornas solitärträd har med tiden lyckats skapa vacker rumsbildning och som besökare i parken fi nner man en stor kvalitet i den ständiga glänta som skapas mellan vildare natur och det gräsbeklädda landskapet. Tyvärr håller inte övrig miljö samma klass. Mellan husen är funktioner dubbelt inramade av växter och staket.

This is a study of predictions made by the press during the financial crisis in Asia in the autumn of 1997. The study includes a qualitative, quantitative and comparative analysis of the Swedish newspapers Dagens Nyheter, Svenska Dagbladet and Dagens Industri. In the last chapter a quantitative analysis of the newspaper Finanstidningen, that today no longer exists, has also been made for comparative reasons. A theoretical framework is also set in the study to explain how the predictions can affect the economy. The quantitative analysis shows that 2/3 of the texts in the traditional morning papers Dagens Nyheter and Svenska Dagbladet included predictions about the crisis from an Asian or global perspective, while only 1/3 of the texts in the financial newspapers Dagens Industri and Finanstidningen included such predictions.

This paper is a discourse analytic policy study with the intention to investigate the swedish government's policy action plan against prostitution and trafficking for sexual purposes. The document is called Handlingsplan mot prostitution och människohandel för sexuella ändamål. The purpose of the study is to investigate whether there is a feminist gender understanding taking place in the action plan. This is made by both see how the problem of prostitution is produced partly by examining whether there is a gender-based power analysis in action. The research questions of this study are:What is considered being the problem with prostitution and trafficking fosexual purposes?Is there a feminist gender understandning in the government's prostitution politics?To answer these questions I use Carol Bacchis method Whats the problem represented to be? And the material being used is the government's actionplan.

Home care services have had, and will have a major imortance in the future. More people will be using home care services as a consequence of political strategies but also as an effect of caretakers own wishes. The purpose of this study was to illuminate the factors that are significant for a successful encounter between a caretaker and a caregiver. The study is made as a qualitative analysis of litterature. The data collection was based on Polit and Hungler's model of information retrieval and the data analysis on Graneheim and Lundman's model of analysis.

This master?s thesis looks at discourses that use the pronoun ?hen?. The media debate in Sweden over this pronoun in 2012 started in connection with the publishing of a children?s picture book: Kivi och monsterhund, by Jesper Lundqvist and Bettina Jansson. The essay investigates how eight librarians, who take an interest in and work with gender issues, talk about the pronoun hen and about this picture book and other books that have characters which are not named as a sex/gender.The essay takes a discursive perspective on reality and on the construction of knowledge and carries out a discourse analysis of the librarians? talk in the qualitative interviews that were made for this study.

This report describes the development of a sample loader for my diploma work at Q-linea AB in Uppsala. The sample loader will replace the process of loading fluid samples into Q-linea?s instrument for biomolecule analysis. The earlier process was done by hand and was a time consuming and inefficient task.The work was initiated with a design phase where an overview of the system was created. The sample loader will be receiving text commands from a PC that coordinates all the subsystems like pumps and lasers on the analysis instrument.

Att människan blir påverkad av miljön hon har omkring sig är ingen ny idé, och att vi mår bättre i naturmiljöer än i andra miljöer är också något man har trott länge. På senare tid har det kommit platser i form av hälsoträdgårdar som är skapade just för att göra så att vi mår bättre. Det finns både rehabiliteringsträdgårdar där man aktivt arbetar i trädgården för att må bättre, restorativa trädgårdar där det är miljön som ska påverka till att människor mår bättre och rehabiliteringsträdgårdar där både miljön och aktivt arbete ska verka för att få människor att må bättre. I detta arbete ligger fokus på själva mljöns påverkan på människor utan aktivt arbete i miljön och i arbetet undersöks hur en bra restorativ trädgård kan skapas. Detta görs genom en litteraturstudie över olika teorier om varför människor mår bra i naturmiljöer, vilka utemiljöer och element människor tycker bäst om, och olika förslag över vad en restorativ trädgård bör innehålla. Samt även en fallstudie över Hälsoträdgården i Torup, en befintlig hälsoträdgård där den restorativa aspekten har en stor roll.

Vid schaktningsarbeten och andra typer av avlastningar så påverkas spänningstillståndet i den kvarvarande jorden, vilket ger upphov till deformationer. I en cirkulär schakt/urgrävning kommer exempelvis schaktens sidor att röra sig mot mitten av schakten samtidigt som botten av schakten kommer att häva sig något.När schaktningen sker runt ett grundlagt fundament är det svårare att förutse hur jorden kommer att deformeras och speciellt hur mycket jordens rörelser kommer påverka det grundlagda fundamentet i form av förflyttningar. Idag beräknar geotekniker mer avancerade problemställningar med sättningar och jorddeformationer i kommersiella FE-program med tvådimensionella gränssnitt. FE-modellering i två dimensioner begränsas av att det endast är möjligt att analysera strukturer som har axiell symmetri eller är långsträckta. Under år 2010 så lanserades ett nytt geotekniskt FE-program med stöd för modellering i en ren tredimensionell miljö, PLAXIS 3D.
