Sätt krydda på undervisningen tar dig med på en resa genom kryddhistorian. Jag försöker i detta arbete belysa kryddornas historiska värde. Men framför allt får du följa med på en resa till kryddlandet Indien, dit jag for under hösten 2002 med kursen ?Möte med U-land? och stifta bekantskap med de olika kryddor som används i de två delstaterna Tamil Nadu och Kerala. Genom intervjuer, studiebesök på en multiplantage samt litteratur försöker jag ge er en bild av indiernas förhållande till kryddor.

Multinationella företag och utländska direktinvesteringar blev ett nytt fenomen efter slutet på andra världskriget. En revolutionerande globalisering började ta form där företag ökade sina marknadsandelar genom investering och flytt till nya marknader. Denna globalisering kom inte att ske på Irland förrän på mitten av 1960-talet. Innan dess var landet slutet och nästan varken någon export eller import skedde. Idag har Irland blivit ett av de mest framgångsrika länderna i världen med att locka till sig utländska direktinvesteringar och multinationella företag.

Tomater finns i dagligvaruhandeln året runt. I Sverige finns ingen produktion av tomater vintertid och då behöver de importeras från länder som har ett varmare klimat. Sverige har en egen produktion av tomater från april till november. Trots egen produktion kan inte efterfrågan på marknaden mötas, inte ens på sommaren. I Sverige har koldioxidsskatterna och diskussionerna om fortsatta höjda skatter i framtiden fått många odlare att byta uppvärmning från fossila bränslen till förnybar energi.

In this essay, I have examined what has been studied and presented in the theory of ICT in schools. I have based my theory on Arne Trageton?s book Att skriva sig till läsning ? IKT i förskoleklass och skola (2005) and theories on children?s reading and writing development.The purpose of this study is to determine how teachers and children experience teaching with Trageton?s ICT-based model Att skriva sig till läsning and whether the model is beneficial for children's first reading and writing.Through qualitative interviews with two pedagogues from the same school and some children from first grade, I have received answers to my two questions:How do pedagogues and children experience ICT-based teaching in the context of children's first reading and writing?How do pedagogues experience the reading and writing development in first- and second-language students when using ICT-based teaching?The results showed that both pedagogues and children were positive about the model in which the computer was used as a writing tool in learning to read and write. The teachers felt that the model was suitable for all children according to their conditions.The children saw the writing as very enjoyable. For the ICT-based teaching to work properly, the technology has great significance.

The dishwasher is a wide spread product that occurs in many households. It saves the user time,water and energy. When using a dishwasher instead of doing dishes by hand a lot of energy issaved.The importance of lowering the energy consumption does not only come from the consumerwinnings but also from an environmental point of view. Scientists are certain that the globalwarming comes from the emission of green house gasses that is created by human consumptionof oil, gas and coal.Dishwashers today are a lot more energy efficient than older dishwashers, but there are stillmargins to lower the energy consumption. The aim with this project is to investigate thedishwasher and it?s washing cycle, noting different phases and components that contribute towaste of energy.

Detta examensarbete handlar om hur man utformar installationer som återger platsens historia i en besöksträdgård. Dåtid möter nutid genom gestaltning av historien i tillfälliga trädgårdsinstallationer.Arbetet beskriver en gestaltningsprocess som börjar med studier av platsen. Fakta och inspirationsmaterial har samlats in, bearbetats och resulterat i tolv olika installationsförslag. Stor hänsyn är tagen till beställarens tankar och önskemål. Platsen som jag utgått från under arbetet är en Hälsingegård med anor från 1700-talet.Avgörande i arbetsprocessen har varit att det funnits mycket historia och fakta att tillgå.

The Results of this thesis was the creation of two designed house variants with a module toall the apartments. In addition till the first module there are three other modules ofapartments that can be put in the houses if it so needs. The house are volume prefabricatedand are placed on site in a way that it create an enclosure of the area which faces against thenature and car parks also lies hidden behind these houses.For the actual structure, a cross beam was created to carry the floor above and it is supportby all four walls. The structure between the first and the second floor has no "syll" butinstead there are two differently alternative to linking the floors in order so that it will notmove. The reason with this solution was that there will not be any subsidence when theforces from above are pressed down ward.

In today?s society computers are getting a much more important role. To get a computer to work as intended it has to be programmed. A computer program is written with programming languages. There is an abundance of programming languages available today and there are many differences and similarities between them.

De svenska bankernas osäkra exponering mot Baltikum har varit en stor debatt i svensk media under en lång period. Den här uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka sambandet mellan de tre baltiska ekonomiernas aktiemarknader och de fyra svenska storbankerna. Vi har valt att lägga stor fokus på storbankernas kreditriskexponering, eftersom den har haft stor fokus på sig i media. För att förbättra trovärdigheten för uppsatsen har vi valt att undersöka ett generalindex för hela Baltikum och jämföra det med den svenska aktiemarknaden. Vi gör det i syfte att kontrollera att sambandet mellan de två marknaderna inte är för stark, eftersom de övriga sambanden vi hittar mellan storbankerna och de baltiska indexen då kan vara ett resultat av en större samvariation.

A landowner that lives on his property has a more negative attitude towards biodiversity than a landowner that?s not living on his property.

In this final thesis two simulation models have been integrated. The simulation models are models of JAS 39 Gripen?s fuel system, software and hardware. The time consuming and costly work to develop software has made the department of fuel system to build two models in Xmath/Systembuild. The software model also simplifies the comprehension of how the software in the control computer of the fuel system works.

The aim of this study has been to examine six books about Oscar Wilde?s homosexuality during the years 1906 ? 2003. I have been analyzing their descriptions about his sexual orientation and compared them to each other to see the changes through time. In order to see some clear changes the main focus was to choose time differences between the books. It was clear that the earlier writers had negative opinions and thoughts about his sexual deviation the way they described it.

Political disenchantment and detachment is proven to be growing in well established democracies. This development brings along concerning behavior regarding general political participation. Fewer citizens participate in elections, parties are losing members, and the trust in politicians is steadily decreasing. IDEA (Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance) has been registering voter turnout worldwide for the last 60 years and their publications show a decline in voter participation since the 1980s.During the same period of time another development has caught attention, namely the fast progress of the medium Internet. The new generation of Internet functions is called Web 2.0 and allows users not only to create content, but also to interact with each other.This dissertation aims to explore the possibilities emerging when integrating Web 2.0 in political processes.

Bakgrund och problem: Sedan 2005 ska noterade fastighetsföretag i EU som innehar förvaltningsfastigheter redovisa enligt IAS 40 ? Förvaltningsfastigheter. Vid värdering till verkligt värde redovisas orealiserade värdeförändringar över resultaträkningen. Då bankfinansiering är vanligt förekommande i både Sverige och Storbritannien borde positiva värdeförändringar vara fördelaktigt för fastighetsföretag eftersom orealiserade värdeförändringar medför att värdet på fastighetsbeståndet, uttryckt som säkerhetsmassa vid upptagande av lån, ökar. Ökad säkerhetsmassa i sin tur medför att fastighetsföretagen få mer fördelaktiga lånevillkor.
