This study is based on qualitative and hermeneutic methods. The investigation summarises how four textbooks present Buddhism in (school) subject Religion, such as texts and images. Two of them are used in Religious studies A, the rest is used in Religious studies 1. The study rests on the theories of orientalism and christocentrism, where both can be related to the concept of making secondary. In the research background there are descriptions of how the western world looks upon Buddhism in a historical perspective, but also how Buddhism in a modern age is represented.

In order to get full understanding of management culture and practice one must understand the underlying factors. This thesis examines the philosophical foundations for management in the People's Republic of China with its primary focus on the period 1949 -2012. China with its strong economic development in the recent decades is becoming an increasingly important actor in the world economy. Interaction between China and the rest of the word is considerable and currently Chinese firms increasingly expand outside China. This gives further importance especially for westerners to gain a deeper understanding of Chinese views and customs with regard to management.

Through a case study, I wanted to find out what advantages and disadvantages local companies consider with scrum and what they think about its future. To find out what scrum is, I read the literature and scientific articles and then wrote surveys based on my thoughts. Further, I also wanted to find out if it?s possible to use scrum in a school environment and therefore I visited a high school class who used scrum in one of their projects. The result was good but could have been better as it requires more training of scrum to understand everything. The surveys were distributed to various local companies. After having received a lot of answers, I concluded that the clear priority was the most positive feature of scrum and the most negative was that it was difficult to get the rest of the organization to understand scrum, which creates problems. Both high school class and local companies believe in scrum?s future, even if they think scrum will be partially modified to adapt to the software-development in the future. According to the survey responses, the most important to get the projects to be successful both now and in the future is that everyone who work with scrum is right educated..

The following study aims to examine how the Swedish journalism portrays the relationship between the Swedish police and the Romani people in Sweden in connection with the disclosure of the registration of thousands of Romani people during the autumn of 2013. The study proceeds from a series of articles written 2013 about what in Swedish media is known as ?Registerskandalen? or ?Romregistret?. The theories used in the study all originates from Postcolonial Theory and Ethnocentrism, and we used van Dijk's Critical Discourse Analysis for analysing the result. In the end of the study we find that the Swedish journalism portrays the Swedish police's view on the Romani people as negative in comparison to how they view the rest of the majority society in Sweden..

I denna studie unders?ks hur l?rare talar om sina erfarenheter av barns internetanv?ndning och hur de beskriver att de arbetar f?r att st?tta elevers digitala kompetens och motverka n?tmobbing i den digitaliserade barndomen. Studiens teoretiska utg?ngspunkter ?r Social interaktionism teori men ?ven barns perspektiv och barnperspektiv i samband med n?tmobbning. Detta ?r f?r att kunna besvara studiens fr?gest?llningar.

The change of the Real property index map has met a lot of resistance in Dalarna.This is the reason that the parcel?s reform has not had the same impact in Dalarnaas in the rest of Sweden. In addition, even ?Laga skifte? (the reformation on propertystructure) was never effected in most areas of Dalarna. This has lead to thatDalarna has a unique property structure with many small and narrow parcels.Some argue, however, that the property structure has been the same for many centuries.The purpose of this thesis is therefore to study how the property structurelooked before ?storskifte? (the reformation on property structure) was done, howit was when äganderättsutredningen (the adjudication), in the 1970s, was accomplished,and finally how the structure looks when land consolidation has been implemented.For the template of the studies, seven different villages were chosen.The basis for the study was comprised of acts for each stage and each village.The study showed that change in property structure has occurred.

Forskning om lovverksamheten ?r begr?nsad trots att den ?r en viktig del av barns fritid och tid p? fritidshemmet. D?rf?r har vi valt att unders?ka hur l?rare i fritidshem talar om fritidshemmets m?jligheter eller begr?nsningar f?r kvalitet under loven, och hur kvalitet beskrivs av l?rare i fritidshem. Studien har sin utg?ngspunkt i en kvalitativ metod med semistrukturerade intervjuer f?r att besvara studiens tv? fr?gest?llningar: Hur beskriver l?rare i fritidshem verksamhetens kvalitet under loven? P? vilket s?tt anser l?rare i fritidshem att de strukturella f?ruts?ttningarna p?verkar fritidshemmets m?jligheter att erbjuda en meningsfull och kvalitativ verksamhet under loven? Studien bygger p? forskningsteorin: fyra dimensioner f?r pedagogisk kvalitet.

The aim of this study was to understand how social workers deal with honour-related violence, with special focus on the processing from sheltered housing. Our qualitative interviews with social workers that work with this kind of problems show that there are both obstacles and opportunities in the processing from sheltered housing. On the negative side are the loneliness, the shame and the guilt that the girls may experience when they need to leave their families. The social services can both be an obstacles and an opportunity. When the girls need to create a new life in a new city they have a lot of opportunities and in the same time it is hard to get to know new friends when you don´t know the city or have much money.

Under slutet av 1800-talet publicerades tidningen Svenska familj-journalen i flera a?rga?ngar som en tidning menad att la?sas av hela familjen som underha?llning. Ett inslag i tidningen var bera?ttelser om fra?mmande la?nder och folkslag. Skribenterna beskrev en exotisk och sensationell va?rld utanfo?r Sverige i sina artiklar och fo?r ma?nga i la?sarkretsen var detta deras enda kontakt med omva?rlden.

I takt med globaliseringen har den offentliga sektorn ro?rt sig allt mer mot den privata. Detta har i sin tur resulterat i att man bo?rjat prata om ma?l i verksamheter som traditionellt sett inte har styrts av det. Ma?l grundande pa?!?effektivitet?!och ?resultat?, a?r ett relativt nytt inslag inom kulturverksamheter.

The purpose of this study is to explore and understand the social and structural dynamics of an organization working with questions regarding development. The organization in question is Vi-agroforestry, a Swedish based NGO that works around the lake Victoria basin and the focus will be on their office in Rwanda. I have used a qualitative approach and conducted participatory observation as well as semi-structured interviews to gather data. I have emanated from the individuals in the organization by using a theory of microsociological organisationperspecive to understand how the employees create and is created by the existing social structures. (Blomberg, 2003) Even though the office in Rwanda only is a relatively small part of Vi-agroforestry?s operations it is still highly individual and independent from the rest of the organization.

This report is the product of the course AF101X, a bachelors degree in Samhällsbyggnad atKTH. The task of the course is to design a small house at a given location and also implement adeepening study. The house in this report is located in Kiruna in the north of Sweden, where theclimate is much colder than in the rest of the country.The deepening study of this report is to evaluates how realistic passive housing north of thePolar Circle is based on those facts. The house will to some extent be designed to fit the passivehousing standard.
