När Fröbel var verksam gick han metodiskt tillväga genom att tillhandahålla barnen varsin griffeltavla. Fröbels metod kan idag anses, som mycket lärarstyrd. Under 1950- talet fick Herbert Reads tankar sitt genombrott. Barnen fick då ett fritt sätt att arbeta på. Det var alltså ett fritt skapande som förelåg.

Leisure boats of today have a lot of electronics that needs battery power to work. In additionto that electric propulsion systems have gotten more popular lately, which further increasesthe demand for high battery capacity. The batteries used are mostly lead-acid batteries and toget the most out of the batteries it is important to treat them right. To optimize the electricsystem it is important to have knowledge of how the batteries and the electric motor are usedand which factors affect e.g. efficiency and recharging.A new electric drive that can replace old diesel engines is being developed and needs testingand evaluation.

The purpose of this essay is to critically review Pierre Bourdieus contribution to agency ? structure debate. I will do this with help from the thinking of George Herbert Mead. My aim is to show that Mead can provide valuable knowledge to Bourdieus theory.Pierre Bourdieus notion of habitus is his solution to the dilemma between agency and structure. It is in the habitus that the objective structures meet the inner, subjective structures and this results in various actions.

The aim of this Master?s thesis is to examine how librarians in two Swedish public libraries view the subject of face-front marketing and literary hierarchy. The questions posed in this thesis are: How do two public libraries in Sweden market fictional literature? Which literature does get marketed? How do the librarians view fictional literature? How do the librarians view marketing? and Does Herbert Gans? literary scale work to examine the marketing of fictional literature in two Swedish public libraries? The theoretical starting-points are Niels Ole Pors? thoughts on stock development, Philip Kotler?s thoughts on the responsible non-profit organisation and Herbert Gans? thoughts on taste-publics and taste-cultures. The empirical material was gathered through qualitative interviews with library staff in two public libraries in the south of Sweden, and by reading a sample of the fictional literature exposed in these libraries.

Every now and then, in media research studies and in various newspaper articles, schoolboys´ issues reading habits are discussed. Much of what is written concerns boys decreasing marks in the field of literature, in the Swedish language and also their negative attitude towards reading books. Some scholars claim that boys do not read because they consider reading books as a women´s duty. Other people believe that underlying causes for boys negative attitude towards reading is biological, that it´s genetic and consequently physical, and that male and female brains are functionally different. Another theory of today is that boys actually reads, but not that kind of texts and literature that they are exposed to in school.Based on a selection of these opinions and theories, and my own experience and interest for questions concerning school and gender, the aim of this studie was to examine boys worlds of reading.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur individer, som fått en ADHD-diagnos i vuxen ålder, idag beskriver sin och omgivningens interaktion under livets gång, i huvudsak med fokus på självbild.Studiens datainsamlingsmetod var semistrukturerade intervjuer. Under bearbetningen av intervjumaterialet skapades ett övergripande tema kallat självbild, omgivning & ADHD. Materialet har även brytits ner i kategorier och underkategorier. Resutatet analyserades med utgångspunkt i George Herbert Mead och Herbert Blumers symboliska interaktionism samt Erving Goffmans teoribildning om Stigma.Resultatet visar att alla informanter sett det som övervägande positivt att få diagnosen ADHD och att alla var öppna med att prata om sin ADHD-diagnos med andra. Resultatet visar även att alla känt sig "dumma" under uppväxten samt att skolmiljön inte varit anpassad för dem.

The aim of this thesis is benchmarking of the program, based on dynamic programming, that earlier was written to imitate the production planning at TSS.This thesis starts with a chapter about the construction of the DP-program, a shorter description of one and each of the program parts and also a list over the in- and output data in each program part. The DP-program consists of six linked MATLAB-files that together produce an optimized production plan for the different planning groups at TSS. The program reads in and reformat the given data and optimize the production of the articles in one group. Finally it compounds all article production plans and give us a production alternative.After running the program with new data the result shows, resembling with previous results, that TSS could be able to make some distinct cost-savings. According to the program, a 50 % decrease of TSS production costs is possible. .

Some word processing programs save information that not all users of the program are aware of. This information consists of a number of things. Example of that is who the writer of the document is, the time it took to write it and where on the computer the document is saved. Text that has been changed or removedcan also be saved. This information is not shown in the program and the user will therefore not be aware of its existence.

In order to study how science and archeology was exploited for political means during the Third Reich this thesis investigates the scientific institute Ahnenerbe, founded in 1935.

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.

Denna studie bygger på en enkätundersökning av 80 stycken grundskolepedagoger från två kommuner i Östergötlands län. En totalundersökning har gjorts vilket innebär att samtliga pedagoger i kommunerna ingår. Syftet med studien är att undersöka vilka faktorer som påverkar grundskolepedagogers benägenhet att fullgöra sitt ansvar gentemot anmälningsskyldigheten som stadgas i 14 kap 1 § socialtjänstlagen (2001:453). De faktorer som undersöks har delats upp i tre delar, organisationsstrukturella faktorer, individuella bakgrundsfaktorer och faktorer i det enskilda fallet därtro om att en elev far illa finns. Vidare avser studien att undersöka om det finns några skillnader i pedagogernas inställning till socialtjänsten samt benägenhet beroende av om den kommun pedagogen arbetar i har deltagit i samverkansprojekt riktat mot skola och socialtjänst eller inte.

Syftet med min uppsats är att beskriva hur barn uppfattar alkohol i vardagslivet och hur deras föräldrar tänker kring ämnet. Jag har intervjuat fyra barn och fyra föräldrar för att se hur barn uppfattar alkohol och hur de socialiseras in i vuxnas tankar kring alkohol. Jag har använt mig utav kvalitativ och fenomenografisk metod, samt Alfred Schutz, Peter L. Bergers, Thomas Luckmanns och George Herbert Meads teorier och begrepp för att analysera mitt material. Mitt resultat visade att barnen uppfattade alkohol negativt och med en viss oro och rädsla.

This paper aims to investigate how Helsingborg?s city library?s visi-tors feel about computer games being available for lending and in which way computer gamers see Helsingborg?s city library as a resource. This was examined first with a study of 100 of the library?s visitors and then with five interviews with computer gamers and an interview with the librarian responsible for purchasing games.The study showed that most visitors were neutral to having games at the library and of the ones that were not neutral many more were positive than negative. Of the five gamers who were inter-viewed, there were several who had borrowed games in the past.
