Vårt intresse har varit att undersöka och beskriva hur barn i förskolan uppfattar hanteringen av fritt skapande teckningar. För att studera detta har vi valt att fokusera på hur förskolebarnens teckningar hanteras av förskolepersonal och andra pedagoger efter att de är klara genom att intervjua barn. Syftet med studien är att undersöka och beskriva förskolebarns uppfattningar av hanteringen av deras teckningar inom förskolans verksamhet. Frågeställningen blir därmed ?Hur uttrycker förskolebarn i åldrarna 4-5 år sin delaktighet och sitt inflytande gällande hur deras teckningar hanteras av förskollärare som dokumentation??.Metoden som används är en kvalitativ intervju av totalt 17 barn som deltagit i sammanlagt nio intervjuer där antalet barn har varierat i varje grupp.Resultatet visar på att barnen uppfattar sina teckningar som fina och därför ska de placeras på förskolans väggar så att både barn och närstående vuxna kan beskåda deras alster.

The aim of this study is to examine the collection One Thousand and One Nights (also: The Arabian Nights) from a european perspective, by comparing different european translations. The study focuses on three translations into Swedish from different periods of time and how the tales have changed in the translation process - depending on the prevailing line of approach and Western perceptions of Eastern standards. The thesis of the study is that Eastern culture, from a Western perspective, has been seen as exotic and different but not as a high literary culture and that this view has affected the translations into european languages. The study shows, among other things, that Western culture is many times considered normative in the translations and that the translators often give their own voices a prominent role, also that common Western notions of the East affects the translations.The word ?orientalism? is used frequently in the study and it refers primarily to the image of the Orient as it is described in Edward Saids' book Orientalism: as a Western construction whose main purpose is to strengthen its own conception of the Orient and thereby strengthen the Western identity as better than the Orient.

These e-mails are also supplied to the whole infirmary instead of being addressed to specific individuals. Seen through a media richness perspective, the e-mail is a mediumrich communication medium that well could be used in the everyday communication at the infirmary as the main communication agent.
