I have studied the curriculum for the compulsory Swedish school, from the curriculum from year 1962 when the Swedish grundskolan became a reality, to the curriculum from year 1994, the one in practice today. My primary interest has been what the curriculum says about bringing up the Swedish youth. My theory has been the British analyst Norman Fairclough?s Critical Language Studies. His thoughts about actual discourse, type of discourse and order of discourse has led me through out this essay.

The purpose of the essay is to analyze the welfare state from a gender perspective. Further, the paper analyzes and critically examines three different normative solutions provided by Irish Marion Young, Nancy Fraser and Jürgen Habermas for the realization of a welfare state that includes women.Habermas argues that the welfare state has created a situation of dependency and state paternalism which reduces both individual and collective self-determination. Young follows Habermas? argument. She argues for a political climate where justice is reduced to the distribution of material goods rather than the elimination of underlying relations of domination and gender specific patterns.

Are different ways of life possible in a world that increasingly becomes "Westernized" or globalized? This study examines and analyzes the diverse and complex way of life that includes socioeconomical nomadism as the Irish Traveller community are availing themselves of on the island of Ireland. In a broader perspective the study of the Travellers is put in context to how modern society emerged, and what characterizes the contemporary western societies. This is to understand the way Travellers nomadic lifestyle has been constrained and how the interrelationship between the dominant society and the extended family group constituting Travellers social composition has affected their livelihoods. Their social role is considered from two identification points ? home and work.Nomadism as a phenomenon, its history, expression and possible motives are being described in this work.

Bakgrunden till denna uppsatts är att ett större projekt har inletts i samarbete mellan McDonalds Sverige, Sveriges nötköttsproducenter (SNP) och Lantbruksuniversitetet (SLU) i Alnarp. I projektet skall man undersöka hur det är möjligt att skapa en bättre och säkrare tillgång & lönsamhet genom hela kedjan för svenskt nötkött. I denna uppsats, som är en del av det större projektet, så kommer jag att inrikta mig på att undersöka och sammanställa information om hur förtroende skapas i en leverantörskedja för nötkött i Irland och undersöka vilka faktorer som styr belåtenheten i leverantörskedjan. I litteraturstudien kommer det att inledningsvis beskrivas hur Irlands nötköttsföretagande är uppbyggt, följt av ett kort stycke om McDonalds Irland och Bord Bias kvalitetssäkringssystem som används inom kedjan. Sedan följer en litteraturgenomgång om hur en leverantörskedja kan vara uppbyggd och fungera, hur relationer fungerar i leverantörskedjan, förhållandet mellan belåtenhet och förtroende i leverantörskedjan och en beskrivning av leverantörskedjan av nötkött. Studien grundar sig på kvalitativa intervjuer med fyra irländska nötköttsproducenter, två irländska slakterier och en nötköttsansvarig på IFA (Irish Farmers? Association).

Renal dysplasia is a developmental anomaly of the kidneys which is considered to be the primary lesion in juvenile progressive nephropathy, a condition leading to chronic renal failure in young dogs. It is defined as disorganised development of the renal parenchyma due to abnormal differentiation, and pathological lesions include persistent foetal structures, dysplastic tubules and cartilaginous and osseus metaplasia. The aetiology of renal dysplasia in dogs is still unknown, but possible causes are infection with canine herpesvirus, teratogenic substances or intrauterine ureteral obstruction. In some breeds renal dysplasia is a familial or inherited disease. Clinical signs of chronic renal failure, such as polyuria, polydipsia, vomiting, weight loss, anorexia, lethargy and anemia, usually appear before the age of 2 years.
