Abstract: In this following thesis I enquire the teaching of reincarnation within the New Testament. More specifically I examine how the author Paramahansa Yogananda?s interprets the teaching of reincarnation and his analysis of the prologue to the Gospel according to John. The idea of reincarnation is not a teaching commonly associated with Christian teachings and it has never been advocated within Christian orthodoxy. However, the idea of reincarnation has recurringly been advocated by Christians.

In the forest sector, non-industrial private forest (NIPF) owners commonly interact with numerous stakeholders (e.g. forest managers, timber buyers, harvesting contractors and advisors) for counseling, planning, selling and hiring. Forest management is therefore built and influenced by the relationships between NIPF owners and other stakeholders. In the local context of a Southern Sweden, the Swedish Forest Agency (SFA) and the Southern Forest Owners Association (SÖDRA) are very influential stakeholders in small-scale forest management. Based on qualitative interviews and by means of grounded theory, an analysis of the relationships between NIPF owners and the mentioned organizations was carried out in order to understand the social context at the Genesis of forest management decisions.

The following text constitutes an attempt to present the French philosopher Gilbert Simondon's genetic ontology through an account of his reconfiguration of the problem of individuation in his doctoral thesis from 1958, L'individuation à la lumière des notions de forme, information, potentiel, métastabilité. The intention is to show how Simondon through this reconfiguration of a classical philosophical problem ? in which concepts and schemas from contemporary physics and technology is utilised in a critique of the bi-polar hylomorphic schema as its traditional, substantialistic solution ? becomes able to articulate an anti-substantialistic and anti-reductionistic ontoGenesis as first philosophy. A systematic philosophical conception that according to Simondon precedes every critical investigation of the subject as well as every scientific ontology ? not by establishing a pre-critical position, but by exceeding Kant's critical position: that is, through a displacement toward a conception of the transcendental conditions for the Genesis of being and thought as real conditions, rather than conditions of mere possibility.

Bakgrunden till denna uppsats är att tidigare forskning visat att elever läser annorlunda om det finns uppgifter kopplat till läsningen, vilket kan göra att det inte är texten som står i fokus. Tidigare forskning har också visat att tonåringar inte läser lika mycket som yngre gör, samt att det är annat de söker och vill identifiera sig med i texten, de vill ha en utmaning och få möjlighet att ompröva sina föreställningar. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka gymnasier elever på teoretiskt inriktade programs inställning till skönlitteratur både i och utanför skolan för att ta reda på vilken roll sammanhang, plats, miljö och tidigare erfarenheter har för läsupplevelsen och om eleverna läser annorlunda om det finns uppgifter som skall besvaras.Metoden som användes var den kvalitativa intervjumetoden och det var 11 elever som intervjuades. Resultatet visade att det fanns ett intresse för texter och fiktivt berättande men att uppgifter inte alltid sågs som något positivt och att det kan vara lättare att komma i dialog med texten om läsning äger rum mer förutsättningslöst; Att kunna identifiera sig med texten är viktigt på så sätt att läsaren vill känna sig medskapande men det behöver inte vara så att det lästa ska vara nära kopplat till egna upplevelser. Engagemanget för texten kan grundas på handlingen, språkets uppbyggnad och vilka frågeområden som texten tar upp.

The essay seeks to clarify some of the decisive but often obscured issues in the famous debate between Jacques Derrida and Jonn F. Searle. The debate commenced in 1977 with the publication in Glyph of Derrida?s lecture Signature Event Context from -71, followed by Searle?s Reiterating the Differences.

Carl Gustav von Brinkman was born in Nacka, Sweden 1764 but in his eleventh year he was sent away by his father to the Herrnhuter school in Niesky to become a missionary. Brinkman developed other plans. The experience of the school as a place that censured his thoughts and hindered his development, took an early start and grew stronger. He tried to convince his teachers in the congregation that they should allow him to attend the university in Halle, but they wanted his father to decide. His father then threatened to exclude him from the family if he went to Halle.
