In the essay the author examines how pilgrimage can be used as a tool to radicalise democracy in a late modern society marked by neoliberalism. Applying a dialectic perspective on social movements the essay puts forward how the pilgrimage movement Pilgrim?s Walk for Future, administrated by Church of Sweden, is working in line with the historical pilgrimage theology - a modern critical ecclesiology- to mobilise political action to prevent climate change. The result of the study shows how PWFF meet the neoliberal hegemony with a mobilisation of alternative values beyond the order of capitalism, in line with Christian theology and tradition. The mobilisation is made possible by new forms of identifications with oneself and the social world that meet a modern power/knowledge- regime based on rational thought, and which questions norms and practises by paying attention to their negative effects on nature and on human life in general.

Researchers, planners, and government agencies agree that road safety for children must be a priority and in particular that children should have a safe and secure way to travel to and from school regardless of age or the distance travelled. In Sweden, child traffic safety is a key part of the country?s Nollvision, a long-term traffic policy goal of ?no deaths or serious injuries?. Unfortunately, many countries have recorded increases in child traffic accidents as the percentage of parents who drive their children to school and thus congestion around schools has increased. Common strategies include traffic safety education for children, the redesign and improvement of traffic infrastructure, bicycle training, and carpooling.This thesis assesses the traffic problem around Ludvigsberg School in the district Valbo in Gävle, Sweden.

Syfte:Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka och kartlägga varför och på vilket sätt IAS 39 anses vara en komplicerad standard. Vi vill även undersöka bakomliggande orsaker till problematiken kring utformandet av generella principer för redovisning av finansiella instrument. Metod:Vi har använt oss av en kvalitativ forskningsmetod i kombination med en induktiv ansats. Strauss och Corbins resonemang om den grundade teorin har genomsyrat arbetet. Frågeställningar härledda utifrån den offentliga debatten har behandlats genom semi-strukturerade intervjuer.

Undersökningen syftar till att ta reda på elevers, i skolår 4, inställning och uppfattning om det lärande som sker vid utomhusundervisning i förhållande till klassrumsundervisning. Det är en kvalitativ studie med intervjuer och observation som metod. Resultaten visar att eleverna uppskattar utomhusundervisningen, men anser generellt att de lär i klassrumsmiljö snarare än när de är utomhus. Samtidigt säger eleverna att de lär när något är roligt, intressant eller väcker deras nyfikenhet. Eleverna ser snarare utomhusundervisningen som en källa till hälsa och rörelse samt möjlighet till fri lek, än som lärandetillfälle..

Denna studie grundas i tankar kring vilka individer som ligger bakom en filmproduktion. Dådet i en filmproduktion arbetar en stor skara människor blev det intressant att undersöka ochlyfta fram diskussion om hur dessa samverkar för att slutföra en produkt som baseras på envision. Studien visar också på vad som ligger bakom samverkan och hur den hierarkiskastrukturen påverkar filmarbetarnas yrkesroll. En observation har gjorts på enlångfilmsinspelning. För att fördjupa observationen har även två intervjuer gjorts medfilmarbetare.

This paper aims to analyze how child restraint systems (CRS) in cars should be positioned to protect children at the ages 1 to 5. The study is preformed in co-operation with the Swedish insurance company Folksam. Data from Folksam´s database on car crashes in the years 1999-2004 is being used in this study. Every child in the ages 1 to 5 was searched for in the database, which resulted in 184 observations. To perform the analysis, categorical data analysis is suitable.

Abstract Title:                       Grades at Primary School ? A study of local politicians' arguments in                       connection with the division into grades at Swedish primary schools.Author:                       Annie LinderUniversity of KalmarC-essay in Social StudiesAutumn 2011 The study aims to investigate local politicians' decisions since municipalities took overSwedish primary education in 1990/91. The arguments put forward in support of how stages are organised have been studied, likewise whether municipalities have acted rationally when making their decisions.Six municipalities are included in the survey. They were divided into three educational categories: lower, middle and high level schools; previous and recent schools and F9 schools with pre-schools and primary schools integrated.Minutes from politicians' and civil servants' meetings have been studied and categorised according to arguments for and against. The most common supportive arguments are about economy and organisation, others concern school premises, trends and the wish for a comprehensive compulsory school.

Vårt uppsats undersöker hur en betalning kopplad till viral marknadsföring skulle påverka ungdomars attityd gentemot en sådan kampanj. Vi har utgått ifrån en kvalitativ metod iform av fokusgrupper och semistrukturerade intervjuer. Den största fokusen ligger på fokusgrupperna..

Det sker en ökning av äldre vilket medför att sjukdomar relaterade till hög ålder blir vanligare. Den nuvarande trenden är att de äldre bor kvar i de egna hemmen så länge som möjligt. Detta ställer större krav på utökad vård och social service eftersom äldre snabbt får reducerad aktivitetsförmåga och därför kräver direkt aktiv rehabilitering av sin skada. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka sjukvårdspersonalens omhändertagande av äldre patienter på ortopedens akutintag. Metoden vi använde var observation av sjukvårdspersonalens möte med tretton ortopedpatienter.

The aim of the study was to investigate peer interaction among toddlers 12 to 30 months of age and the teachers? ways to direct the children?s play in outdoor free play situations in a Swedish preschool. Data was gathered through direct observation, and the phenomenology of Merleau-Ponty in combination with the assumption of children as social actors built the theoretical framework of the study. The results showed that the toddlers used different strategies to invite peers to interaction and made use of strategies in entering ongoing play that previously have been observed among older preschoolers. These strategies, bodily and therefore in accordance with the phenomenological approach, support the assumption of toddlers as social actors that actively engage in and make sense of their life worlds in the preschool.

Bakgrund: Det finns ett flertal metoder och instrument som bedömer individens funktionsprofil samt förmåga i relation till arbetskrav. Det är därför möjligt att det finns skillnader mellan olika FHV gällande hur dessa används och hur det påverkar en rättssäker och lika bedömning av arbetsförmåga. Detta finns idag ingen kunskap om. Syfte: Syftet med detta projektarbete är att hos en selekterad grupp inom FHV inventera och analysera vilka metoder och instrument som idag används för att mäta funktion och arbetskrav vid arbetsförmågebedömningar.Frågeställningar: Hur sker arbetsförmågebedömningar idag inom FHV? Vilka instrument används inom FHV för att mäta funktion och arbetskrav i samband med arbetsförmågebedömning? Vilka svårigheter föreligger och vilka möjligheter till förbättringar upplever FHV vid bedömningar av arbetsförmåga?Metod: Studien har genomförts som en riktad enkät och analys av data inhämtat från en selekterad grupp av 22 personer från skilda FHV-enheter.
