In this essay I investigate how prehistoric cultural environments are portrayed in tourist publications. Through discourse analysis I aim to find clues on how cultural heritage is discussed and represented in existing media. I also investigate how the available media is affected by the tourist industry and its commercial motives. In recent portrayals of cultural heritage sites, there has been less information about the underlying history and other values have taken its place. Discourse about immaterial cultural heritage has not been present in tourist brochures from the 20th century but has been introduced in recent years while older publications discuss the role of our cultural heritage as essential components in our current society.

Den här uppsatsen handlar om hur två grannkommuner har valt att organisera kring resursfördelning för barn i behov av särskilt stöd. För att ta reda på detta har vi studerat de av regeringen formulerad styrande dokument samt skolplanerna i kommunerna. Vi har också tagit del av offentliga dokument från varje kommun som visar det mål och visioner de har för skola och utbildning. För att skapa oss en djupare förståelse kring tankarna runt de val som görs och hur de kan te sig ute i de olika verksamheterna har vi intervjuat en skolledare, en specialpedagog samt de ansvariga för resursfördelning på berörda kommuner. Intervjuerna gav oss de svar vi sökte i våra ursprungliga frågeställningar.

In this study we have analysed from an intersectional perspective two textbooks Historia 1b and Progress Gold A which are purposed to be used as teaching material in Swedish schools in the subjects of History and English. Our question and reason for doing the analysis is to emphasise and make the variety of women in the books visible in order to compare that variety to the one that is demanded by the Swedish curriculum. The analysis is made from an ideology critical perspective and contains quantitative elements. Our conclusion is that the material contains both excluding and including features. Some intersectional categories are well represented while others, like functionality and religion, are not.

Denna uppsats beskriver artefaktfynd som gjorts inom området. Genom att tidsbestämma artefakterna och i den mån det är möjligt att fastställa dess fyndplatser skapas ett spridningsmönster. Genom att samtidig granska klimat, havsnivå och topografi mm skapas genom bearbetning och analys, diskussion och tolkning en schematisk bild över undersökningsområdets utveckling. Av denna kan man utläsa hur området befolkades, bosättningsmönster, det första jordbruket mm. Dessa fragment från stenåldern visar också på förändringar över tiden.

Syfte: Att undersöka om riktlinjer för hälsofrämjande trädgårdar och takträdgårdar kan mötas i ett gestaltningsförslag till en atriumgård på ett sjukhustak, riktad till patienter och personal i anslutning till en avdelning för personer med bipolär sjukdom.Bakgrund: Hälsofrämjande trädgårdar anses kunna vara ett komplement till traditionell vård och kan främja den fysiska, psykiska och emotionella hälsan. Många städer har under de senaste årtiondena blivit mer kompakta och gröna ytor har försvunnit. Med takträdgårdar kan man utnyttja platser som redan finns i staden genom att omvandla dem till gröna ytor. Sjukhus är ofta byggda på höjden, inte sällan finns tak och atriumgårdar inritade i arkitekturen, dessa platser har potential att nyttjas av patienter, personal och närstående om de utformas för att bli gröna hälsofrämjande miljöer.Metod: Vetenskapliga artiklar, böcker och annan litteratur inom områdena hälsofrämjande trädgård, bipolär sjukdom och takodling, takträdgård, tillsammans med enkät till avdelningen och inspirationsresor till atriumgård och takodling har använts som stöd för att skapa ett gestaltningsförslag.Resultat: Detta arbete visar på vilka komponenter som bidragit till att det går att förena riktlinjer för hälsofrämjande trädgårdar med riktlinjer för takträdgårdar. Ett gestaltningsförslag har utformats efter dessa riktlinjer, platsens förutsättningar och delvis efter målgrupperna.

The purpose with this essay is to investigate Swedish political parties who have had or has a restrictive immigration policy containing opinions, that can be classified as xenophobic, and their history and development as a party. The focus in this essay is centred on the politicization that the parties Ny demokrati and Sverigedemokraterna have gone through and the mobilization they have reached. The material that will be handled in this matter are mainly the parties? political programs that have been published in various forms, but these will be supplemented with secondary sources in the form of previous research, reviews by journalists and other literature. The result have shown that the development from 1970 ? 1980´s to today considering these type of organizations is that they have changed in their appearance, in the matter of how they convey their message, and the actual appearance of the party members more than the message itself.

The swedish education system in general and the swedish gymnasium in particular is at the point of a thorough reform of the guidelines in education. One major difference given in the guidelines is that the former core subject of arts education is abandoned in favour of making history a mandatory class. This despite the curriculum outlined in 1994 remains. Through comparativ text analysis of the documents and reports outlining this reform and defining the curriculum as well as the guidelines for the education system this study aims to point out the reasons for this change. Through in depth interviews with teachers, educators and authorities in addition to readings of contemporary research on arts in education the study will depict a larger picture of the scheme of things.

Denna uppsats diskuterar utifrån paradigmbegreppet och Torben Grodals kognitiva filmteori huruvida naturvetenskapligt influerade empiriska metoder - exempelvis ögonrörelsestudier - är tillämpbara inom filmvetenskapen. Uppsatsen reder inledningsvis ut paradigmbegreppet och diskuterar vad användandet av detta begrepp har fått för konsekvenser för humanioras del. Därefter avhandlas hur filmvetenskapen traditionellt har behandlat åskådaren och Torben Grodals teorier diskuteras utifrån deras tvärvetenskapliga potential. Slutligen refererar uppsatsen till ett antal naturvetenskapliga artiklar om ögonrörelsestudier på ett filmmaterial och några konkreta forskninsförslag presenteras..

AbstractA beautiful death ? Manliness in four Japanese samurai moviesThis thesis deals with the samurai and his portrayal in Japanese historic movies and what kind of messages he conveys in form of masculinity to theater audiences. Four movies were chosen, two from the 1960s and two from the 2010s. The reasoning behind this was to look at two eras of samurai movies and if possible try to see differences between them. The history of the samurai, being a man and woman in modern Japan, R.W Connell and famous Japanese authors from different time eras acted as tools to try to answer the questions in hand.
