The aim of this two years master thesis in Library and information science is to study the foundation Centrum för lättläst and its work regarding information use with focus on information structures and information needs. The aim is also to examine how Centrum för lättläst cooperate with Swedish libraries to promote the work concerning people with reading disabilities. This master thesis applies a domain analytic theory and method inspired by Birger Hjørland. The domain analysis is confined to examine ontology, epistemology, sociology, empirical user studies, document and genre studies and studies of structures and institutions in scientific communication. The main source material consists of information from the homepage of Centrum för lättläst.

The aim was to find out teachers in Swedish as a second language in primary schools view on how they work with a language development teaching in a multicultural environment. I did a semi-structured interview where I both made questions before the interview and also used individualized follow-up questions during my interview. I did that because I really wanted to get answers to the subject and the aim of the essay. Two teachers in Swedish as a second language have been interviewed. The result shows that a holistic approach to language development is important, where great emphasis lies on understanding. Teachers say that communication and interaction are key factors and that it is important with good linguistically appropriate and understandable texts where the words/concepts are learned and used in the right context. .

This essay is a study regarding the existence of Bronze Ages and Iron Ages battlefields in Scandinavia and the possibility to trace and find them by using the Battlefield Archaeological Method.Based on a theoretical background and results from historical battlefield research and excavation experiences, the discussion deals with some of the problems and possibilities of applying the Battlefield Archaeological Method on older places. The existence of these battlegrounds is also an unknown factor, and a major part of this study is trying to find evidence of their existence. For that purpose I am using as an example a deeper analysis of an Iron Age battlefield archaeological excavation in Germany in order to compare and draw parallels with the Scandinavian society of that time. I am also using the evolution of weaponry, in particular the sword, to show parallels between the Mediterranean and the Scandinavian societies in the matter of warfare and tactics..

Studien behandlar pressfotografers inställning till bildbehandling, hur de motiverar de åtgärder de säger sig vidta under bildbehandling och hur tänker de sig att bildbehandling inverkar på bilders trovärdighet. Studien syftar också till att identifiera några av de premisser som potentiellt kan ligga till grund för pressfotografens vägval under bildbehandling, samt att visa hur dessa premisser tillsammans skapar stringens som påverkar pressfotografens syn på bildbehandling.Studiens resultat, som bygger på djupintervjuer med fem pressfotografer, redovisar bildbehandling som ett personligt förfarande så till vida att varje fotograf på individuell basis bedömer hur en bild bör justeras. Bildens syfte, genre, kvalitet och budskap samt medielogiska aspekter, med betoning på fotografens arbetssituation, är också aspekter sompåverkar potentiellt påverkar handlingsvalen.Bland intervjupersonerna framträder även två huvudlinjer i synen på bildbehandling: den ena vilken ger uttryck för en tekniktilltro ? kamerans begränsningar respekteras och ses i viss mån också som en garant för bildens äkthet. Den andra linjen manifesterar en mer dynamisk syn på bildbehandling som utgår från fotografens subjektiva upplevelse av fototillfället.

En stor del av den svenska befolkningen har svårigheter att läsa en hel del texter på svenska, t ex myndighetstexter, nyheter men även skönlitteratur. Detta innebär att många inte har samma tillgång till information via det skrivna mediet som övrig allmänhet erbjuds. Komplicerade texter har visat sig besitta en avancerad syntax som försämrar läsbarheten. Manuell bearbetning av texter vid syntaxförenkling är en tidskrävande process och ett automatiserat tillvägagångssätt är önskvärt. I syfte att undersöka huruvida ett verktyg som automatiserar förenklingsprocessen är möjlig med dagens teknik togs verktyget CogFLUX fram.

Background: Corporate Responsibility is not a new concept however in recent times more companies are starting to use different kinds of responsibility disclosures. These disclosures are voluntary and corporations may use them in the way they find suits them best. There is a lot of research in this field and there is no single explanation for what Corporate Responsibility is and how corporations should relate to it.Purpose: The purpose of the study is to examine the relationship between the controlling owners of corporations and CSR disclosure.Method: We use a content analysis and a survey study to examine the relationship between corporate controlling owners and the CSR disclosure.Conclusions: Our results show that controlling owners have little effect on the different dimensions of CSR disclosure. We have however found some differences between the different owner categories where some categories are found to use CSR disclosure to a greater extent..

The purpose of this study is to investigate, and if possible explain, how background, childhood, and education in a municipal or regional context can affect young peoples? life trajectories.The living conditions for the population in the coastal region Roslagen with its geographical and historical specificities has during centuries largely been characterized by practical crafts-manship. With a growing share of non-permanent residents in the region with demand for help and services, this culture has during the later years been able to prosper. The social reproduc-tion in the municipality also seems to be extensive. In addition to original background, appar-ently the municipality?s service-dominated trade and industry culture has also affected the choice of education and profession of the youth in Norrtälje.

AbstractReading books to children is often an integral part in preschool activities. The purpose of thisstudy is to investigate how educators think about the educational function of literature inpreschool activities. I have in my study used qualitative interviews with active educators andobservations to answer my questions about why the educator reads to the children, how theeducator thinks about the choice of literature and if the literature can contribute to thechildrens development and if so, how. The knowledge- and research background presentsliterature and previous research done on the subject. The results of my study shows that theeducators have many thoughts about the importance of literature in preschool.

AbstractUppsatsen handlar om tv-spelen Hitman: Blood Money (2006) och Hitman: Absolution (2012) samt dess adaptionsförhållanden till filmtolkningen Hitman (2007). Spelen är utvecklade av det danska spelföretaget IO Interactive och filmen är regisserad av den franska regissören Xavier Gens. Analysen är baserad på åtta teoretiska texter varav en text handlar om tv-spel och dess förhållande till film, fyra texter om adaption (varav två närmare går in på auteurteorier), en text om våld, en text om skräck och slutligen en text om genreteori. Uppsatsen tar upp problematiken i adaptionsprocessen med fokus på överföring från spel till film och sedan vice versa.Den tar också upp tre fördjupningsämnen som är anpassade till spelen och filmen samt ett mindre fördjupningsämne om vem som har rätt till att kalla sig auteur. Dessa tre primära fördjupningsämnen är skräck, våld och genre.

During the last 100-200 years people have change their way of living and the condition and need for survival is no longer depending on the agricultural work. The forestry has replaced the farming and a lot of the natural pastural have been lost. Wessmantorp in the north part of Skåne is an old place for forestry and farming where people have been living for several hundred years. Studies of selected parts of the everyday landscape, that earlier have been settlement with small crofter?s holding, show that the changes in the landscape mostly depends on the human factor and that a lot of the cultivable soil have been replaced with spruce. Some of the areas, which the earlier dwellings were placed, still contain some remains of old house foundations and stone fences and can regard as being of an historical value. The studies provide the reader with a short background, the place as it is today and the changes of the land use in Wessmantorp.

Uppsatsens syfte är att kritiskt granska och analysera debatten om införande av sprutbyte i Göteborg med kritisk diskursanalys. Genom att använda kritisk diskursanalys var ambitionen att granska hur olika aktörer i media debatten talar om sprututbytesprogram och hur dessa konstruktioner kan öka förståelsen av fenomenet sprututbytesprogram.Uppsatsens delfrågor var: Vilka aktörer deltar i debatten, hur framställs sprututbytesverksamheten och dess användare? Vilka argument används? Vilka övergripande diskurser kring SBP kan vi identifiera i argumentationen? Hur förs den diskursiva kampen i debatten om sprutbyte?Det empiriska materialet utgjordes huvudsakligen av artiklar i lokal dags- och kvällspress samt intervjuer.Som teori och metod har kritisk diskursanalys använts. Utgångspunkten var Faircloughs tredimensionella modell, bestående av text, diskursiv praktik och social praktik. Analysverktyg som användes var interdiskursivitet, intertextualitet, genre, transivitet och modalitet.Studiens resultat visar dels att politiker och läkare är de huvudsakliga aktörerna i debatten.
