Studien handlar om demokrati och delaktighet i grundskolans tidigare år. Syftet är att se hur lärare och elever samspelar i samband med verbala arbetsformer. Hur ser lärarens roll ut i samband med verbala arbetsformer i klassrummet? Hur ser elevers kommunikationsutrymme ut i klassrummet? Vilka kommer till tals? Finns det någon könsordning? Frågeställningarna som styr uppsatsen, innebär att genus såväl som en demokratisyn genomsyrar hela studien. Undersökningen tar plats i en skola, i en förort till en större stad, där alla elever tenderar att ha liknande social och ekonomisk bakgrund.

My paper, ?Us and Them ? an analysis of the creation of ?the Other? in The Reluctant Fundamentalist and The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas?, aims to examine Mohsin Hamid´s and John Boyne´s novels from the years 2007 and 2008. The paper tries to answer the following questions: How is ?the Other?and?Us and Them?created in the novels? And: What consequences does the thinking in terms of ?the Other?and?Us and Them?lead to in the novels? The examination is done through the method of close reading and by applying the theory of Orientalism and Edward W. Said?s analysis of the theory to the reading.It is, I believe, of utmost importance for teachers to create unity among their pupils, and peaceful and democratic classrooms where co-work is promoted.

This paper aims to describe and elaborate on a recent discursive change within the new-age movement. Since the seventies and the publishing of speculative popular science books like The Tao of Physics by Fritjof Capra and The self-aware Universe by Amit Goswami, the idea that quantum physics resonates with spirituality has become the topic of hundreds of books and movies.The quantum-spiritual discourse has three distinct ways to approach quantum physics in its discussion on spirituality: The parallelistic approach which emphasizes the similarities between eastern philosophies and modern physics, the monistic-idealistic approach which tells us that mind is the foundation of matter and the scientific spiritual approach which tries to explain spiritual claims scientifically. In the quantum-spiritual discourse, quantum physical phenomena (e.g. non-locality and entanglement) are being called upon to validate metaphysical statements. The primary assumption of the discourse is that the shift of paradigm due to the establishment of modern physics also is a shift of paradigm of spirituality.With the object to examine the common claims made in the discourse, cross-references between spiritual arguments and facts of quantum physics are being made.

From underwater boat to submarine ? The development of the Swedish submarine service 1945-1960 The scope of this essay is the development of the Swedish submarine service during the period 1945-1960. The aim is to answer the following questions:- What kind of new technology did Sweden acquire when salvaging the German type XXI submarine off Gothenburg at the end of World War II?- In what respect did this technology differ from that of the Royal Swedish Navy and did it subsequently contribute to the tactical and operational development?- What tactical and operational development was accomplished between 1945-1960?The timeframe, 1945-1960, was chosen since this is when the analysis of the salvaged type XXI submarine and related effects was conducted. Furthermore, it is also during this time that the Swedish submarine service is beginning to evolve as a result of the new knowledge mentioned above and the experiences made by both the allies and the Germans during World War II.The theoretical framework primarily refers to the theories on naval warfare by Sir Julian Corbett.

Den svenska nyttofordonstillverkaren Scania har varit ett intressant förvärvsobjekt under flertalet år. Volvo har tidigare försökt förvärva Scania, men hindrades av EU-kommissionen. Under den senaste tiden har Scanias värld åter satts i gungning i och med att företaget blivit föremål för ett ytterligare förvärvsförsök. Denna gång är det den tyska nyttofordonsproducenten MAN som har lagt ett fientligt bud på Scania. Bakom budet ligger en tro på att det går att realisera synergier genom nära samarbeten inom områden som produktion, förvaltning, inköp, forskning och utveckling samt service.

The military conflicts of the early 21st century have seen the introduction and rise of a new military technology: the armed drone. With the United States acting as the driving force behind this technological advancement, the U.S Air Force and intelligence agency CIA have madedrones their weapon of choice for pursuing suspected terrorists and insurgents in various remotelocations. American military leaders and policy makers assert that the armed drone?s high levelof accuracy make it the best available weapons platform for this task. However, new researchshows that the use of drones may result in more civilian casualties than previously thought, andmay in fact be more fallible than conventional aircraft in this respect.

Syftet med denna studie är att belysa och diskutera värdegrundsarbete med skönlitteratur som grund inom svenskämnet. För att visa exempel på hur intressanta ämnen ur ett värdegrundsperspektiv kan lyftas fram till diskussion i klassrummet har vi valt en kvalitativ och innehållsanalytisk metod med hermeneutisk inriktning där vi studerar intriger och händelseförlopp ur J. K Rowlings Harry Potter och De vises sten (2010) samt John Ajvide Lindqvists Låt den rätte komma in (2005). Därefter relateras de utvalda avsnitten ur dessa skönlitterära böcker till värdegrundsformuleringarna i Lpf 94, författare inom skoletik samt genremässiga konventioner inom litteraturfältet. Vi konkretiserar, preciserar och problematiserar också värdegrundsformuleringarna i vår forskningsbakgrund.

Today, many regard the Democratic and the Republican Party in the US to be significantly different than prior with regard to changed rhetoric and changed political world. This reason alone is enough to make an interesting research question how democratic and republican presidents view ?economic freedom? based on Robert Nozick, John Rawls and Isaiah Berlins perception of economic freedom. The research question therefore relies on how present presidents view economic freedom compared to how past presidents view economic freedom with Nozick, Rawls and Berlin as emphasizers within the theory. This is performed with the use of by Marie Demker?s coined the is-should-do-scheme, being an analytical tool providing from the empirical material the first State of the Union speech by the selected president where the presidents view on reality (is), uthopia (should) and strategy (do) is presented.

Abstract:Perennials in public areas have during the latest decades been more and more popular. This group of plants has become a more accepted komponent when creating pleasant public places, and people begin to see the functional aspects. Perennials do also give a colour- and senceexperience in a more detailed way than can be achieved with only trees and shrubs. One of the ojects of this essay is to give more examples of motives for using perennials in urban areas.Having in mind the increasing use of perennials, you can expect a growing need for better understading of how to create successfull perennial plantings. In spite of the increasing interest it is hard to find any written information in this subject.

SYFTE: Syftet med detta arbete är att undersöka det eventuella sambandet mellan de utvalda ländernas ränteförändringar och ränteförändringar i Sverige. Vi undersöker även om det går att påvisa om något eller några av ländernas räntor påverkar räntorna i Sverige. Vidare är syftet att ta reda på vilken inverkan de utvalda EMU-länderna har på den svenska räntan. Vi undersöker även hur volatiliteten ser ut för ränteförändringarna i de olika länderna jämfört med ränteförändringarna i Sverige. METOD: Vi har i vår uppsats använt oss av en kvantitativ metod med komparativ design.

Young people of today have a much wider access to information on sex and relationships, and they receive this information from a variety of different sources. This information can sometimes paint a diverse and inconsistent picture. School constitutes one of these sources, and one of the few places were young people can discuss and reflect on these issues together with their peers as well as adults. The purpose of this essay is to gain insight on what adolescents between the age of 15 to 18 think about sex and relationships and their thoughts about sex education in school. It?s a qualitative study based on discussions with adolescents divided in four focus groups, two groups of girls and two groups of boys.

The debate surrounding the opinion polls of the political party Sverigedemokraterna, and later their results in the Swedish election has been evident. The purpose of the study is to investigate how norms of equal treatment in social work practice might be influenced by Sverigedemokraterna's understanding of culture, ethnicity, nationality and religion. The thesis is outlined through the works of Teun van Dijk and Ruth Wodak (2000) regarding racist discourse in politics, Giorel Curran (2004) explaining lesser established parties influence on the broader discourses and Anders Hellström and Tom Nilsson (2010) attempting to ideologically position Sverigedemokraterna. With the method for analyzing policy documents designed by Carol Bacchi (2009) the latest motions from Sverigedemokraterna has been analyzed. Bacchi?s theoretical framework, together with theory concerning the expression of modern racism of John Hodge (1999), Paul Gilroy (1999) and Bennedict Anderson (1996) amongst others has been used to create an understanding of the material.

De senaste decennierna har globaliseringen påverkat företagen i allt större utsträckning eftersom konkurrensen ökat. Detta har tvingat företag att bli mer effektiva för att kunna överleva. Ett sätt att effektivisera är att slimma produktionen och ha en flexibel arbetskraft, så kallad numerisk flexibilitet. I Sverige har privat arbetsförmedling varit tillåten sedan 1993 och sedan dess har bemanningsbranschen haft en expansiv utveckling. Syftet med denna uppsats är att beskriva numerisk flexibilitet, med avseende på inhyrning av personal, utifrån John Atkinsons indelning av personalgrupper.

Holmen Skog is currently using a GPS-program called TraktInfo, originally developed within the company. They are now planning to switch to a new GPSprogram or allowing the contractors to buy other programs available from the logging equipment manufacturers. To be able to offer this flexibility, Holmen Skog needs to obtain information about the features offered by the different manufacturers in their specific programs, and also when the manufacturers are planning to start selling programs adapted to the new standard called StanFord2010. According to the study, the manufacturers are hesitant to StanFord2010 and there has also been a lack of clear signals from the customers and clients about what kind of different new features to include in the programs. The feature most frequently used by forest machine operators today is the option to keep record of the harvester?s path by creating a ?log plot?. This feature was not used to its full potential however, since only one out of eight of the forwarders included in the study had computers that were compatible with the harvester?s computer.
