The following essay describes a study made in Sweden in the autumn of 2010 at Södertörn University. The main purpose with this study is to find out and describe how people´s own understanding of being multilingual has influenced them. The objective behind this is to create a wider understanding for the phenomena. Therefore, the phenomenological perspective is used to describe the subjective reflection of a phenomena, in this case multilingualism. A qualitative method is being used for data gathering, implying conversational interviews with six multilingual people born in the 1970s and 1980s.The results show that the people interviewed mostly use their mother tongue in conversations with their parents and relatives today.

From a democratic point of view the existing organisation with municipality sections in the city of Malmö, Sweden will be examined. The matter of how an alternative organisation should be structured will also be discussed. Two incompatible models of democracy theories will be arranged: libertarian democracy and participation democracy. The intentions with the reform were primary to increase the civic participation. By applying those values that are used to characterize participation democracy it will be shown whether the local participation has actually increased.

Jag ska i denna uppsats ta reda på vad människor tycker om tilltalsformen ni. Genom en enkätundersökning där informanterna fått svara på om de blir niade och niar ska jag ta reda på om tilltalsformen ni, anses vara en passande tilltalsform idag. I uppsatsen ges en bakgrund till hur en språkförändring går till, hur tilltalsformen ni kom till och hur den uppfattades ur ett historiskt perspektiv. Dessutom redovisas en undersökning som gjorts av Eva Mårtensson (1986, Det nya niadandet) på 80-talet där man upptäckt en ny form av niande hos ungdomar.Resultaten av enkätsvaren styrker att niandet är utpräglat i språkbruket, såväl hos ungdomar som äldre. Man kan inte finna några spår av att den gamla betydelsen av ni finns kvar hos någon av språkbrukarna.

Mitt syfte med detta arbete har varit att undersöka ordinlärning i franska för årskurserna 7-9. Då jag själv har fått lägga ner mycket tid på ordinlärning i mina franskstudier har jag kommit att ställa mig frågan hur man arbetar med ordutlärning i nybörjarundervisningen på högstadiet. Eftersom orden är språkets grundstenar anser jag att det är oerhört viktigt att som lärare besitta kunskap om hur man på ett systematiskt sätt hjälper eleverna att bygga upp sitt ordförråd. I litteraturgenomgången hade jag för avsikt att ge en teoretisk bakgrund till min undersökning. Jag tog min utgångspunkt i språkinlärning i största allmänhet för att så småningom inrikta mig mer specifikt mot ordinlärning.

The purpose of this essay has been to investigate the research and national initiatives regarding film and Cineliteracy in the Swedish curriculum.The results show that, after all research, national initiatives and the continual clarification from the Swedish National Agency for Education concerning film's place in the Swedish subject, the vision of students cineliteracy not at all obtain an obvious place in the curriculum.The research points out the main causes behind this result to be teachers' lack of expertise and the fact that the formal education for future teachers in the subject still upholds traditional views on the subject of Swedish.The initiative presented in this essay also show lack of continuity, lack of adequate professional development opportunities for teachers and lack of practical guidance manuals to help teachers to develop and educate their pupils in line with current research and visions. .

The goal of this project was to create a web-based, crowd-sourced, correlational database, that easily allowed users to submit objects and receive correlated objects as results. The webservice was created in the web development languages of HTML, CSS, PHP and Javscript, with MySQL to handle the database. Simultaneous development was kept in check with the aid of the source code management system GIT. Upon completion, the service contained several HTML-views, the ability to add and rate objects, a per-object dedicated page with information parsed from Wikipedia.org, and a view with objects ranked in accordance to the preferences specific to the current user. Roughly a month after the beginning of development, the website was publicly launched and promoted in order to collect data, and improvements were added to the website as needed.

Information is one of the organization's essential resources, and as such it needs strategic management. The authors use the information audit, which was developed by Orna 1999 and Henczel 2000 as a tool to evaluate how well an organization's information activities connect to its mission, goals, and objectives, to evaluate the municipal politicians' information support in Härryda municipality. The decision situations met by politicians often are complex; they are ambiguous and unstructured, with a high level of uncertainty. Human information sources meet needs arising in this kind of decision situations best. Since most of the politicians work full-time besides being politicians, Härryda municipality has to substitute the human sources by textual ones composed of highly summarized information.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to find out what mathematical content primary school children encounter in their free options at school.Through observation, the study defines mathematical areas that primary school students encounter in their free options at school. We want the study to show the reader the mathematics that students continuously meet without associating it with regular mathematics as taught in school.A number of mathematical areas have been defined in the analysis of the observations. These areas have subsequently been discussed more thoroughly. Finally, the areas have been arranged in a grid system to clarify the results.In our study, we have discovered that mathematics exists in all the observed situations the students participated in.We believe that observation as a method can give teachers a tool for helping students associate practical actions during their free options with the more theoretical aspects of formal teaching of mathematics. We discuss this further in the study..

In this thesis we have examined Västra Götalandsregionens ways to lobby and network in the European Union. Our aim was to examine which kind of methods the region uses to lobby in a successful way in Brussels. We found that the region uses both formal and informal methods of lobbying to gain advantages in Brussels. We also wanted to locate various networks which the region is involved in to more easily have their interests satisfied. We found that they had a lot of different alliances and that it is necessary to be involved in different networks to have a chance to lobby the EU institutions.

Mitt syfte med detta arbete var att få kunskap om elevers syn på betydelsen av och uppfattningen om icke verbal kommunikation i skolan. Icke verbal kommunikation är benämningen för allt som sägs utan ord. Arbetet inleds med en beskrivning av olika icke verbala uttrycksmedel och sedan följer resultatet från mina elevintervjuer. Eleverna har fått svara på frågor som kan delas in i två delar. Den ena delen handlar om kroppsspråk, deras eget och andras, och den andra om miljön kring eleverna i skolan och vilka signaler den ger till eleverna.

Under examenskursen har jag studerat bilder som används istället för text. Många oväntade upptäckter och insikter dök upp längs vägen, vilket ibland medförde att jag ändrade fokus. Projektets process kom därför att bli ganska krokig.Från början var jag inne på att skapa språk som bygger på bilder. Tanken var att möjliggöra internationell kommunikation och kommunikation med personer med talhandikapp. Jag tänkte ?översätta? en text till bilder, som en skiss på ett sådant språk.

The connection between accounting and taxation goes back to the 1920s laws of the named areas. A proposal has now been brought forward, the so-called SamRoB-investigation, which means that the connection between accounting and taxations should be decoupled.The authors? aim with the study is to investigate what a possible decoupling between accounting and taxation, i.e. the formal connection and the untaxed revenues, implicates for the auditor´s work.A research has been done by interviewing two authorized auditors and one authorized consultant of accounting to get a view in how the auditor?s works could be affected.

After the last election Sweden has got a government that claims to be feminist. This thesis discusses whether the change of labels has also brought along policy formulated in a feminist way, arguing that the way policy is expressed affects how people see a certain problem. Three policy proposals are analysed, and in only one case the government seems to have been influenced by feminist ideas. The other proposals partly support claims made by new institutionalism that norms and routines in an organisation work to resist policy change, but also shows that feminist ideas are resisted more actively. The fact that so called policy entrepreneurs was present in the policy process at a certain period in time, probably counts for one explanation to the exceptional policy.

My purpose with this paper related to my questions was to find out how professionals preeschool teachers working on multilingualism. I also wanted to get answers on how pedagogues in the preeschool may promote multilingual children´s language development, the factors that promote multilingual children´s language development and the role parents have in the language development of multilingual children. I chose to do my study in the form of interviews with professional preeschool teachers and interviewees described including the need for more knowledge of pedagogues around multilingualism. My result based on theoretichal background and the study is that pedagogues should let the children´s all languages esemble together. A factor influencing the multilingual children´s language development is ambient attitudes to multilingualism.

Syftet med mitt arbete var att undersöka vad några invandrarföräldrar hade för inställning till modersmålsundervisningen. Jag valde en kvalitativ metod med en induktiv ansats. Mitt arbete baserades på intervjuer som jag gjorde med åtta invandrarföräldrar. I resultatet framkom att nästan alla invandrarföräldrarna från undersökningen hade en mycket positiv inställning till modersmålsundervisningen. Många ansåg att de barn, som lärde sig sitt modersmål, kommunicerade bättre med andra som talade samma språk.
