Denna uppsats syfte var att undersöka vad elever i grundskolans senare år har för attityd till grammatikundervisningen i svenska. Min hypotes var att den allmänna attityden är negativ. Om detta antagande stämde ville jag undersöka vad som låg till grund för denna negativa inställning, samt ta reda på hur eleverna tyckte att man kunde göra för att förändra undervisningen till det bättre. De metoder jag använt mig av är dels en enkätundersökning bland 70 elever i skolår 6-9, dels mer djupgående intervjuer i gruppform med elva elever. Tyvärr så bekräftades min hypotes.

Noise music is created around sounds not often welcome in a musical context. Since the birth of electronic music in the 1950s a new perspective on composing has emerged. In electronic music, sounds and their timbre are as much important as melody, harmony and rhythm. This composing perspective is not often observed. Therefore I have examined a musical genre that stretches the boundaries of what we consider music, sound, noise, beautiful and terrible.

Title: Violin technique in folk music education. The purpose of this research has been to examine how violin teachers who are folk musicians teach violin playing techniques. Through litterature studies and qualitative interviews I have studied the relationship between teaching methods regarding violin playing techniques of the two genres folk music and classical music and how the teachers in the study relate to this. Mywork shows that the teachers use a variety of methods and material from both genres which they have come in contact with through different parts of their education.Jag har undersökt hur fyra fiollärare inom genren folkmusik arbetar med fiolteknik med sina elever.

The main purpose of this study is to analyse how the main themes of alienation and the search for identity is portrayed by Swedish author Inger Edelfeldt. I have applied the theories of Rita Felski concerning feminist novels of self-discovery, in which the development of the female identity is the main question. As Edelfeldt?s writing consists of literature for the young as well as adults, I have included material from both of these genres. I have also taken use of Ulla Lundqvists theories about Swedish juvenile books when examining aspects of the main character?s feelings of alienation and identity searching.The results of my analysis show that the reading of my material as feminist novels of self-discovery has revealed pervading charachteristics of alienation, love, friendship and psychological development.

This scientific essay is based on four self-perceived situations that all takes place in an outdoor environment. The children are aged seven to nine years. At least one of the children in the groups has some type of concentration difficulties. I have combined my practical experience with literature and previous research regarding outdoor education and children with concentration difficulties. Based on this I have tried to interpret and reflect on the opportunities and problems with outdoor education for children with concentration difficulties, especially so called situational concentration difficulties.

Syftet med detta arbete är att undersöka om ridlärare och ridelever upplever att musik påverkar dem och deras ridning om musik används under dressyrlektioner. Undersökningen är gjord genom enkäter besvarade av ridelever på ridskola, ridgymnasium och eftergymnasiala ridelever som deltar i ett ridprojekt, samt genom enkäter besvarade av ridlärare. I svaren från undersökningen uttryckte eleverna bland annat upplevelsen att musiken påverkade dem och deras hästar både till avslappning och stimulans. Rideleverna upplevde även att det var lättare att hitta en bra takt tillsammans med sina hästar i sitt dressyrarbete under träningen med musik, under förutsättning att musikens takt stämde ihop med dressyrrörelsen. I varje deltagande ridelevsgrupp fanns det någon elev som inte önskade träna till musik.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the benefit of information literacy instruction in two student groups at Kristianstad University, in relation to development of critical information literacy and within the boundaries of the educational goals. This study takes on a critical information literacy perspective that combines critical pedagogy and standards for information literacy in higher education. Two methods have been used for data collection: interviews and questionnaires. According to the results of the study the information literacy instruction provided by the Kristianstad University Library is important and useful for the students in their academic studies. It also becomes clear that the information literacy differs between the two groups as a consequence of the varying information literacy instruction received by the two groups.

2009 genomgick den svenska apoteksmarknaden en stor förändring. Marknaden ändrades från statligt monopol till konkurrerande marknad. Den här uppsatsen undersöker hur det statligt ägda Apoteket AB förändrade sitt ethos när de tvingades att anpassa sig till de nya förutsättningar som omregleringen innebar.Denna uppsats undersöker hur ethos uttrycks i sex olika texter, tre från 2002, innan omregleringen, och tre från 2011. Analyserna görs i par, då analysmetoden är delvis jämförande. Jag kommer att titta på teman, röster, ordklasser och dygder.

Syftet med denna studie har varit att kartlägga några ämneslärares erfarenheter kring arbete med ämnesspråk och skrivande, samt att se om det finns kopplingar mellan deras arbetssätt och den genrepedagogiska metoden. En analys av styrdokumenten för gymnasieskolan har gjorts för att ta reda på vad dessa säger om arbetet med skrivandet, samt att se om läroplanen lyfter upp genrepedagogiska synsätt. Vi har använt oss av intervjuer. Resultatet av intervjustudien visar att skrivandet tar olika mycket plats i undervisningen hos de intervjuade lärarna. Samtliga lärare uttalar sig positivt om skrivandet och anser att detta gynnar elevernas språkutveckling.

The question of euthanasia has kept pre-occupying and agitating the minds of thinkers, sweeping the globe, pummelling pedagogy, assailing assumptions, and bludgeoning biases. Both the moralist, ethicist, theologian, psychologist, educationist, anthropologist, politician, physician, patient as well as the common man in the street are interested in it. This pervading interest simply arises out of the fact that euthanasia involves the question of life, and life is something that is a common denominator to all men.The controversy hinges on the fact that, there are divergent views on the moral question of euthanasia. While some would unflinchingly opt for euthanasia others would prefer to oppose it to the best of their strength, yet others will remain agnostic about it. But the issue here remains: is euthanasia in any way morally justified? Has human life an intrinsic value? Or is human life valuable only when it is healthy? Are we the ones who decide when to die? Has the physician any right to either assist or terminate the life of the patient simply on account of suffering? Has the patient any right to end his/her life? Are there some conditions in which euthanasia could be allowed? Is suffering meaningless?The topic of my project is: THE MORALITY OF EUTHANASIA IN THE LIGHT OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH?S TEACHING.
