Background:Due to a more open climate in society for homosexual people several lesbian couples have given birth to children in their relations. Research has shown no differences between children in lesbian families and children in heterosexual families considering mental and social health. International research has also shown that lesbian parents often have bad experiences from meetings with healthcare providers.Theaim of this study was to describe lesbian child families/familyplannings and the lesbian parents experiences and expectations of the healthcare.Themethod for the study was qualitative interview with 9 lesbian parents. The data was analysed by the queer theory heteronormative concept.Theresults of the research was that lesbian families considered themselves as a nuclear family and at the same time distanced themselves from the nuclear family concept. The findings showed that lesbian couples are involved in a very long process when they try to become parents.

Människan har genom sin industriella framfart bidragit till ökade nivåer av växthusgaser i atmosfären och på så sätt rubbat den balans av gaser som naturligt förekommer. En klimatutveckling med trender som tyder på en framtid med varmare klimat är en av konsekvenserna av den process vi i alldagligt tal benämner växthuseffekten.Ett varmare klimat förväntas medföra förändringar av en rad faktorer, där medelvattenståndet i världshaven är en. Med en geografisk lokalisering i direkt anknytning till kusten och en topografisk lokalisering på dryga 2.65 m över havet skulle Karlshamnsverket kunna vara i farozonen för de konsekvenser en höjning av intilliggande hav kan medföra. Karlshamnsverket är ett värmekraftverk som ägs och drivs av Karlshamn Kraft AB. Anläggningen ligger utanför Karlshamn, vid Blekinges kust, och redan idag råder viss problematik vid högvattenstånd.

Syftet med vår studie är att genomföra observationer för att kvalitativt undersöka vilka strategier, både tillvägagångsmässiga strategier samt matematiska strategier, elever använder sig av vid matematiska problemlösningsuppgifter med olika kontexter. I vårt fall ligger kontextens skillnad i om uppgiften är verklighetsnära eller inte. Tidigare forskning visar bland annat att elever lättare använder sig av sina erfarenheter om uppgiften är verklighetsnära. När det gäller matematiska strategier visar forskare på vikten av att elever kan se likheter och skillnader till uppgifter som eleven stött på tidigare. Även det positiva med interaktion belyses av forskare.

When it comes to investigating the motives behind activism, the members of political study have a lot to say. I aimed to critiqually rewiev this in my thesis. I asked the question ?What do the actor themselves claim lay behin their decision to become motivated?? To highlight this complex dilemma, I sought to discuss new social movement theory by comparing it to reality. This includes a literate examination on contemporary political science approaches, and a study of two organisations in the south of Sweden, choosen not to despise any excisting theory, but to give it a sense of reality.

Ledarens roll förutom att styra verksamhetens uppsatta mål och visioner är att se till att få medarbetarna med sig, utan dem fungerar inte verksamheten. Ledarens stil påverkar medarbetarnas välmående. Ett auktoritärt ledarskap har visat sig leda till större sjukfrånvaro både på kort- och lång sikt medan en demokratisk ledare oftare har medarbetare som mår bra, utvecklas och presterar bättre. Åtta intervjuer gjordes med ledare inom olika branscher inom näringslivet. Studiens syfte belyser ledarens tankar och agerande kring sin egen hälsa samt deras anställdas hälsa.

The competition for customers in today?s society is growing rapidly. Companies invest a great amount of time and recourses to establish and preserve a strong brand. Repositioning is a process that today is necessary for virtually all brands at some point during its lifetime and is about to change a customer's perception of a brand name, by changing its associations. The goal is to create a new, stronger position for the existing brand.

Syfte: Ta reda på vilka för- och nackdelar en e-bok kan ha ur användarsynpunkt jämfört med en pappersbok. Undersöka hur e-bokens attribut står sig jämfört med pappersbokens. Ta reda på vilka faktorer som kommer att påverka e-bokens spridning. Se om det finns några faktorer som kommer att bli hinder för innovationsspridningen. När allt ovanstående är genomgånget vill vi ha ett svar på frågan: Hur ser framtiden ut för e-boken som ett alternativ till pappersboken? Slutsatser: E-boken har stora möjligheter att fungera som ett bättre läromedel under akademiska studier än pappersboken.

The purpose of this master thesis is to describe the professional and literary life of Karl-Gunnar Wall, city librarian of Katrineholm between 1944 and 1975. Questions at issue are the reasons for Walls literary interests, Walls choice of occupation, crucial personal meetings, the context in which Wall acts, Walls fundamental principles as a librarian and as a critic, and the features comprising Walls life history. The method used is a merely qualitative one called "life history". It is founded on in-depth interviews with the persons involved and emanates from the individuals own story about his life. I have carried out three taped interviews; one with Wall himself, and two with his colleagues.

AbstractThis is a story about the Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme and his struggle against USA´s war in Vietnam in the late 60´s and the early 70´s. We follow the young Palme from his childhood to his travels to America and Asia, there he learns what true poverty means. Further we see Palme change side from his conservative background to a new social idealist. In Prag he learns to truly mistrust communism, an ideology he later in life paradoxical will be accused to stand for. Palme´s politic interests seems to take a great step forward when he starts to write articles in the Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet, there he?s writings take more and more colour from Palme´s own politic stands.

Dagens bostadsbyggande tenderar att bli alltmer likriktat och boendealternativen därför inte tillräckligt varierade. Samtidigt individualiseras samhället; tjänster och varor förväntas vara anpassade för att svara optimalt mot individens krav. Även den egna bostaden innefattas av detta. Människor vill ha ett personligt boende som de själva kan styra över vilket under lång tid gjort att det egna huset med trädgård varit populärt. Genom urbanisering har städerna blivit ytmässigt större och invånarantalet högre.

In order to fully grasp the phenomena 'City' we must understand its political structure as an integrated part of its physical structure and vice versa. This thesis focuses on one crucial element of the City, the public space, and discusses it in relation to the public realm, or sphere, of the City. The aim is to see if it is possible to conceive public space as a spatial dimension of power, and if so, how to analyse this. With the help of the theoretical tool of two ideal types of the configuration of public space, "The city as civic public life" and "The city as authoritarian control" an empirical study is carried out on the case of Prishtina, capital of Kosovo.Conclusions made are that function and use of a city's public spaces can be understood in relation to changes in the political climate of the society. Furthermore, a void in the asset of concepts offered by the ideal types is found ? and therefore also need for new concepts to describe and understand a public space undergoing a dynamic transformation, as being a part of a city in political transition..

In an attempt to make social work evidence based, the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare, has recommended the use of standardized methods. As there are very few instruments that are defined as standardized, we decided to compile studies made with the "Family Climate self-rating scale", FCS, that is used by the profession, although not yet validated. We were looking for conformity in results and functionality in family treatment. FCS comprises a list of 85 adjectives to reflect different aspects of the emotional atmosphere in the family. It has been used since the late 80´s and there has been no attempt to compile results of using the instrument, until now.By searching in databases and libraries we found 20 Swedish studies using the instrument, which we compared to each other.

In the year 1783 a fissure eruption from Laki in the southern part of Iceland produced a large amount of volcanic gases during a period of eight months. The volcanic gases and aerosols spread across the northern hem sphere due to ideal weather conditions and had a substantial impact on the environment, human health and also climate effects. This, so called dry fog, caused severe health problems, which led to death casualties, killing animals, crops and other vegetation. The consequence was a widespread famine which was aggravated by a hard and long winter in 1783/84. Analysis shows that the Icelandic volcanoes are the primary risk to produce dry fog that can affect Sweden.
