It is important that the language in textbooks for foreign language learners reflects the language that the learners would encounter in real life. For this reason, the presence of the thousand most common nouns in two Swedish textbooks in Spanish for upper secondary school is observed in this study. Furthermore, this study aims to examine how these nouns occur in order to determine if their pattern of occurence favours the learning and consolidation of words. The main materials that have been used are A Frequency Dictionary of Spanish by Davies (2006) and the word search program available in the digital versions of the textbooks. The results show that the presence of the thousand most common Spanish nouns does reflect the frequency information presented in the frequency dictionary but not all thousand nouns are included.

The purpose of our study is to find out how teachers can help their students to learn how to managestage fright. By interviewing high school teachers and high school students and also observe one oftheir classes, we wanted to find out how they think about the causes of stage fright and what youcan do to relieve it. We also wanted to find out how teachers are working to teach students how todeal with stage fright, and how they think that you also could work. As a teacher of music, among other things, the task is to assess and rate the students performancesin music. Several components are based on the students' courage to play on his or her instrument infront of other people.

It could be argued that theories about gender are something that should be a part of every upper secondary school teachers agenda (knowledge base), because the Swedish curriculum specifically says that schools must encourage and work for equal rights between men and women.The students are supposed tobe encouraged to develop their interest, without judgment, about what femininity and masculinity is.This essay is aiming to find out how gender is used in the teacher program at Södertörns Högskola. The main focus of the essay is to see the possible differences between the curriculum of 2010 and 2013. Using quantitative and qualitative content analysis this essay is aiming to examine how gender words are used in the syllabus, study manuals and literature lists for Educational science A (2010) and Educational science I (2013). In what way are gendered terms, like boy, girl heterosexuality and man, part of the text material? Who is represented in the material? And are there any differences between 2010 and 2013?The results show that there is a difference.

I en globaliserad vÀrld möts olika kulturer och etniciteter stÀndigt och kan ge upphov till en ojÀmlik maktfördelning. Rester av kolonialismen syns i vÄrt samhÀlle i den norm som den vite mannen representerar. Skolan Àr en mötesplats för mÀnniskor oavsett kön, kultur, klass eller etnicitet. Utan att medvetandegöra kategorisering ur ett maktperspektiv blir skolan endast en reproducerande institution dÀr den strukturella diskrimineringen fÄr rÄda. Vi har för avsikt att uppmÀrksamma skillnadspraktiken utifrÄn etnicitet med avseende pÄ synliggjorda normer.

StrÀvan efter konkurrensfördelar via kunskapsdominans har blivit en alltmer centralstrategi för företag i dagens samhÀlle. Det finns ett intensivt intresse för ett bredareintellektuellt kapital, kreativitet, innovation och mer lÀrande inom företagen.Utmaningen företagen stÀlls inför, Àr att ÄteranvÀnda dess fulla kunskapspotential, se tillatt den blir bevarad, sprida den vidare och till slut överföra kunskapen inomorganisationen för att skapa mervÀrde. Rapporten Àmnar översiktligt undersöka de metoder och modeller som konsultföretagetAcando anvÀnder för att hantera och bevara sitt kunskapskapital inom företaget. Det Àrbegreppen ?tyst kunskap? och ?explicit kunskap? som analysen belyser, och all faktabygger pÄ litteraturstudier samt intervjuer pÄ Acando.Resultatet visade att det finns ett fungerade system idag som delar kunskapen mellanmedarbetarna pÄ Acando.

Syftet med studien Àr att undersöka hur vÀl LÀroplanen för de frivilliga skolformerna (Lpf 94) stÀmmer överens med gymnasieelevers förestÀllningar gÀllande lÀrarens roll som ledare, relationsskapare, kunskapsförmedlare och moraliska/etiska uppdrag. Metoden som ligger till grund för studien Àr intervjuer i fokusgrupper med gymnasieelever och en dokumentanalys av Lpf 94. Totalt deltog 24 stycken elever frÄn fyra olika gymnasieskolor. Resultatet visar att elevernas förestÀllning om lÀrarens roller i stora drag stÀmmer överens med Lpf 94:s definitioner, exempelvis lÀrarens förmÄga att anvÀnda sig av varierande undervisningsmetoder och ge möjlighet till reellt elevinflytande. Lpf 94 och elevernas förestÀllningar gÀllande lÀraren som relationsskapare skiljer sig Ät.

Syftet med vÄr uppsats var att med hjÀlp av Model Confidence Set (MCS) finna de bÀttre presterande modellerna bland de mest ?kÀnda? och undervisade volatilitetsmodellerna. Vidare har vi Àven rankat dessa modeller inbördes. Eftersom prognoser om volatiliteten Àr mycket viktigt vid prissÀttningen pÄ derivat, i detta fall ett rÀntederivat, Àr Àmnet stÀndigt intressant. Med Model Confidence Set fann vi ett set av bÀttre presterande modeller utifrÄn vÄrt urval av ursprungliga modeller.

Surrogatmoderskap Àr idag inte tillÄtet i svensk rÀtt Àven fast det inte finns nÄgot explicit förbud mot surrogatmoderskap i svensk lagstiftning. Undersökningar pekar dock pÄ att sÄdana arrangemang ÀndÄ förekommer, bÄde i Sverige och utomlands. Syftet med denna uppsats var dels att kartlÀgga vilka rÀttsliga komplikationer som kan komma att uppstÄ i de fall en surrogatmoder anlitas i strid med svensk rÀtt, dels att undersöka hur detta oreglerade förbud förhÄller sig till principen om barnets bÀsta enligt FN:s Barnkonvention. Uppsatsen har en komparativ ansats dÀr betydelsen av barnets bÀsta ligger i fokus för jÀmförelsen. Denna undersökning har utförts genom studier av lagstiftning, propositioner, utredningar, artiklar och doktrin samt FN:s barnkonvention.

Given the possibility that the world, as we know it, is a consequence of human interaction and verbal communication our understanding of the world can be seen as contingent rather than essentially given. Conceptions such as "entrepreneur", "woman" and "man" can then be understood as socially constructed subjects. Departing from poststructural and social constructionist perspectives I will examine medial representation of women and men as entrepreneurs. My main purpose is to examine how the entrepreneur is constructed as a discursive subject in the journal Eget Företag. Drawing upon Ernesto LaclauŽs and Chantal MouffeŽs Discourse Theory and the poststructuralist feminist theoretical perspective of Judith Butler I will discuss both the construction of the entrepreneur as well as the more explicit question; is gender significant for the construction of the entrepreneur and entrepreneurship in Eget Företag? In this study I come to the conclusion that the discourse of entrepreneurship, as well as the journalistic discourse, draws upon discourses of femininity and masculinity but also upon discourses of ethnicity.

Symboler har alltid varit en viktig del av matematik, dÀrför Àr det inte konstigt att kunskaperom symbolsprÄket behövs för att uppnÄ en full förstÄelse av Àmnet. Den hÀr studiensyftar dÀrför pÄ att utreda anvÀndningen av det symboliska sprÄket i den svenska gymnasialaundervisningen ur ett sprÄkvetenskapligt perspektiv. Empirin till det hÀr arbetetbestÄr av 52 elevlösningar till ett test i matematik samt transkribering av en parintervju.Det insamlade materialet har analyserats utifrÄn teorier om den metalingvistiska medvetenhetensamt symbolernas semiotiska och epistemologiska funktioner. Det matematiskasymbolsprÄkets roll i styrdokumenten har ocksÄ belysts i det hÀr arbetet. FrÄn elevernasfel i testet var det möjligt att ÄskÄdliggöra vikten av den metalingvistiska medvetenhetenoch den semiotiska medlingen i algebrainlÀrningen.

This master thesis deals with the looting and destruction of the Iraqi cultural heritage in the wake of the U.S. invasion of Iraq in April 2003. My ambition is to analyse the narratives conveyed by journalists and intellectuals to see which truths that were established. Using discourse analysis methods, my aim is not to find an objective truth in the matter at hand, but rather to se which truths the writers put into view regarding the question of liability and the seriousness of the looting and destruction. This paper further discusses these truths from the perspectives of imperialism and of Edward Saids thoughts about Orientalism.

Title: What women want ? a study about young men?s self-presentation on the on-line dating site Spray Date.Authors: Anna Tuvehagen & Josefin HultTutor: Lena Widding-HedinPurpose: Our main purpose was to identify implicit norms and ideals for masculinity in young men?s advertisements on the on-line dating site Spray Date.Questions: How do the men present themselves on Spray Date and what do they accentuate in their advertisements? What kind of relationship do the men hope to establish and what qualities and attribute do they look for in women? Are there any notable differences and similarities regarding our findings of ideals and the ones in previous research?Method: In order to answer our questions we chose 100 advertisements made by men in the age 18 to 25. To analyse the advertisements we used a qualitative content analysis, however we have some quantitative elements.Main results: The men in our study are searching for love on Spray Date and usually describe themselves as nice, cheerful, decent guys with good sense of humour. Although, spare-time interests and activities are what the men mainly focus on. Their interests are broad and all sorts of combinations occur why it is difficult to place the men in categories.

The ethical aspects of the Swedish Curriculum for the non-compulsory school system, Lpf94, will form the basis of the research in this essay. The ethical aspects constitute fundamental values and goals as well as common tasks that must be carried out by every teacher. Since the school debate focuses a lot on this perspective, which is often mentioned together with the words problematic and contradictory, it will consequently also be the focus of this essay. Here these features are treated in relation to literature in all its forms used by teachers in class, which also represents a part of the school debate. Together ethics and literature form a perspective that lacks research.
