The studied articles in Smålandsposten shows a profound idea of a ?we? and ?them?.

The aim of this thesis is to examine the rights of internally displaced persons as well as finding out whose responsibility it is to maintain these rights. The questions being answered are: what policies, laws and conventions are addressing internally displaced persons in Somalia (mainly from within Somalia, UN and AU)? And; which principal similarities and differences in these documents are to find regarding what type of protection internally displaced persons can get? Whose responsibility is it to intervene if these rights and rules are not maintained? To answer these questions I have used a liberal-universal theoretical framework. The analysis is a describing case study of comparative nature between the Provisional Somalia Constitution, UN Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement and the Kampala Convention. The result shows that there are many different rights of internally displaced persons in Somalia.

This is a thesis about 9-12-year old girls and their leisure reading. The purpose of this study is to examine their reading experiences. The method we use is a combination of qualitative interviews and studies of literature. The thesis shows that there seem to be four basic needs in girls that can be satisfied by leisure reading; the need to develop language skills; the need to be entertained; the need to gain knowledge of the world and the need to get help to resolve personal issues. The interviews with nine girls show that they primarily read for fun and that the knowledge and insights that are conveyed in literature come in second place.

Den här studiens syfte är att studera hur föräldraideal skapas i böcker riktade till föräldrar med barn i åldern 3-12 år. Med huvudfrågeställningen hur konstrueras idealt föräldraskap i litteratur riktad till småbarnsföräldrar? och frågeställningen Vilka råd om föräldrars förhållningssätt till barnet konstrueras i litteraturen? har jag med hjälp av Foucauldiansk diskursanalys och Foucaults begrepp diskurs, makt/kunskap och subjektspositioner analyserat fem böcker om föräldraskap som ligger på toppen av försäljningsstatistiken just nu. Resultatet är att en ideal förälder strävar efter att ge barnet självkänsla och uppnå en jämställd relation. Att ta barnet på allvar och lyssna på det konstrueras även det som idealt.

The common asylum and migration policy of the European Union is a struggle between a strong belief in the protection of human rights and the need of strong and secured borders. This paper highlights the dilemma that occurs in the common asylum and migration policy of the European Union. What happens when the union have to choose between liberal standards with high priorities to human rights and a realistic focus on security? The aim is to study the asylum policy presented in the Stockholm Program, and thereafter evaluate what kind of character the union has itself. By an ideal type analysis of the Stockholm program from 2009, the common asylum policy is divided into either liberal or realistic ideas.

Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att ta reda på vad för roll Kissie har på tre stycken åttondeklasser. Vi vill ta reda på hur de uppfattar Kissies.se och personen som driver bloggen.Teori: Dramaturgiska perspektivteorin, socialisationsteorin, hermeneutiken.Metod: Kvalitativa fokusgruppsintervjuer och kvantitativa enkäter.Huvudresultat: Det som framgick genom undersökningarna när det gäller syftet är att Kissies.se ofta fungerar som en inspirationskälla när det gäller vissa köpval på en del av deltagarna. De berättade själva att de blir påverkade i den mån att om Kissie tipsar om olika kläder, smink, musiklåtar, maträtter kan de ta efter. Därför kom vi fram till att bloggen även fungerar som en annonssida när det gäller materiella saker. Men enligt deltagarna tar man inte åt sig av de skönhetsingrepp och ideal Kissie skriver om.

Tidigare var det vanligare att dö av svält, i dag dör fler människor av övernäring. Bristande kostvanor och ett stillasittande leverne kan leda till övervikt, och även till en rad andra sjukdomar som hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar samt diabetes. Debatten kring kostvanor, livsmedel och övervikt handlar bland annat om huruvida nyttiga livsmedel i butikerna bör ha en särskild märkning för att underlätta för konsumenter, eller om dessa alternativ bör ha ett lägre pris. Nyckelhålsmärkning infördes i Sverige 1989, och fungerar ännu som den mest använda märkningen på livsmedel. Syftet med denna uppsats är således att studera statens roll i relationen livsmedel och övervikt.

Sport horses are widely used for performance in jumping, dressage, endurance etc. To enable comparisons of horses, training facilities, programs or physical status, an exercise test can be used. Exercise tests are also important to increase knowledge about exercise physiology of the horse considering different ways of training to compare training methods or individual qualities, development of an individual or other investigations of equine exercise physiology. Since several investigations are done on standard- and thoroughbred horses but less on sport horses, it is of great importance to get an overview of the investigations done. Most common is to investigate heart rate and lactate concentration.

Det som skapas idag är ett resultat av vad som tidigare skett. I den här undersökningen problematiserar och resonerar jag kring samtidens kriterier till historiska traditioner inom möbeltapetseraryrket. Primärt rör sig arbetet kring textila ytor och i detta fall möbelklädslar. Inledningsvis ges en kort bakgrund om inspiration och metod. Vidare följer undersökningens huvuddel där bakgrunden, inspirationen och metoden flätas samman med hjälp av frågeställningen: Hur kan man arbeta med ytan inom möbeltapetsering på fler sätt än vad man tidigare gjort och vidareutveckla arbetet med klädsel? Kan man ta tapetserarstilens tankar om dekoration/ytförändring till dagens ideal och i så fall hur?Avslutningsvis redovisas resultatet i undersökningen där metoden samt teknikproblematiken presenteras i form av ett antal slutprodukter.
