The purpose of this study was to examine how teachers practice Arne Tragetons theory of using computers as the first writing instrument in reading and writing development. We wanted to clarify how the work from using Tragetons theory was applied while investigating if and how other methods of reading and writing instruction were used. Our interest lays in how the teachers accomplished the knowledge of this theory and also how the choice of this approach came about. To investigate this we used interviews with a qualitative nature, where seven active teachers were interviewed. They worked in three different schools in years one to three, they were all women and had various long experiences of work on the computer writing tools.

?Knowledge is like money: to be of value it must circulate, and in circulating it can increase in quantity and, hopefully, in value.? ? Louis L?AmourKunskap är ofta något som tas för givet och som självklart i många organisationer men faktum är att kunskap är en värdefull som resurs som rätt hanterad kan vara en väldig tillgång för en organisation. Kunskapshantering eller knowledge management benämns den organisationsteori som behandlar tillvaratagandet av kunskaper som resurser. Centrala begrepp inom knowledge management är erfarenhetsåterföring och kunskapsöverföring, att de lärdomar som organisationen får i uppdrag och projekt ska föras vidare till övriga personer inom organisationenså att de kan användas av andra i senare i projekt.Samhällsbyggnadssektorn är en stor sektor i Sverige med uppemot en halv miljon anställda. Det är en bransch som ofta brukar beskrivas som konservativ och ovillig till förändringar.

This paper researches how the palimpsest concept is used in relation to landscape, and how it can function as a tool within landscape architecture. Palimpsest originally refers to old parchment handwritings, where new text has been applied on top of effaced, but still discernable, earlier writing. Superimposition of information is the core of the palimpsest concept, used within a range of scientific as well as cultural fields. The purpose of this paper is to find how a landscape palimpsest can be distinguished among the many different layers of landscape, such as historical or cultural, and to examine the potential use of the concept in theory and practice of the landscape architecture field. The study is conducted as a literature survey, examining the use of the palimpsest concept within academic works related to landscape.

The aim of this thesis is to study through discourse analysis how users talk about librarians and the librarian profession and what perceptions they have regarding it. I have tried to do this by asking the questions: How do the users describe librarians and the librarian profession? Are there any patterns in what they say? The method and theory I have used is Laclau and Mouffes? discourse theory and partially structured interviews. The material consists of interviews with eight users that are both women and men, both students and members of the public and they were between 25 and 50 years old. In the material I found two discourses: the discourse about librarians and the discourse about the librarian profession.

Malign hjärntumör är en vanlig sjukdom som ger olika former av symtom beroende på var tumören är lokaliserad och behandlingsformerna kan ge olika komplikationer. Det finns inga tydliga riktlinjer för hur omvårdnaden kring patienten med malign hjärntumör ska bedrivas. Syftet med denna studie var därför att sammanställa ett kunskapsunderlag angående omvårdnadsåtgärder för patienter med malign hjärntumör. Metoden som användes var en litteraturstudie i form av en granskning av vetenskapliga artiklar, vårdprogram, kandidat- och magisteruppsatser och böcker. Resultatet visade vem, hur, var, vad och när information ska ges till patienten.

The purpose of this degree project was to examine which remedies are available to individuals when the State has violated their right to a fair trial as stated in article 6 in the European Convention on Human Rights. Furthermore, the aim was to, in cases where the remedy is determined to money, to clarify the indemnity rates that apply in determining the non-pecuniary damages. The starting point was a review of the European Court practice, domestic Swedish practice and relevant literature.The outcome of the review is that the remedies available to the individual?s disposal can be divided into two categories: primary and secondary remedies. Primary remedies mean compensation not consisting of money, and must be exhausted first.

The author is active as a musician in the field of historically informed performance practice (HIP) which emanated from the 20th century early music movement. Studying of historical sources has a central role, but the problem of how interpretation and selection of source material is affected by art and music ideals of our time, is commonly acknowledged. Georg Joseph Vogler shows in a series of articles in "Betrachtungen der Mannheimer Tonschule" (1778-1781) how Stabat Mater by Pergolesi could, and in his opininon, should be improved. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how this source can be used from the standpoint of a performing musician: How can I use Vogler?s methods in my playing?The introduction problematizes Vogler?s action in relation to his time, and to ours.
