Min avsikt med uppsatsen är att jämföra de båda skrifterna beträffande? metaforernas antal, totalt och för de enskilda måldomänerna;? metaforernas källdomäner;? metaforernas utformning i relation till de stilistiska skillnaderna mellan Aristoteles' föreläsningar och Ciceros essä;? sådana skillnader mellan grekiska och latin, som kan ha påverkat metaforerna..

This paper deals with the question of whether the symbolic language of the late Neolithic and middle Bronze Age was transferred from ceremonial monuments and barrows into the domestic sphere in the late Bronze Age. I will consider such elements as doorway orientation, the significance of boundaries and depositional practices to see if Early-Middle Iron Age settlements were indeed a major scene for ritual behaviour..

This is a comparative study of Magnus Hedlunds Snittet and Samuel Becketts Malone dies.

The aim of this study is to illuminate images and discourses, in which media describe people with disabilities. The purpose of the study will be fulfilled, by answering the following questions: Is it possible to discern categories of how people with disabilities are described in the media and is it possible to find associations to handicap models? We have chosen to focus on how media describe people with physical impairments and have made a content analyses of articles, based on the theoretic aim of this study, social constructionism, handicap models and earlier research. Underlying the analyses, are six articles from two Swedish news papers. The results of our research are divided in three categories: assumptions which are taken for granted, hidden meanings and contradicted categories.

Sonja Åkesson is one of Sweden?s most well known poets. Her most productive period was from 1957 to 1977, and besides poetry she wrote novels and drama. Today, Sonja Åkesson is famous for criticizing society, mostly in a feministic way. But she was not aware of her critical approach until she became successful among her feministic readers in 1960, with poems like ?Äktenskapsfrågan? and ?Självbiografi (replik till Ferlinghetti)?.This essay examines professor Yvonne Hirdman?s theory about women?s inferior position in relation to men?s between 1930-1960 in Sweden.

A tendency of impaired oral health has lately been seen among children and adolescents. The consumption of soft drinks and fruit juices is rising and at the same time many children and adolescents skip breakfast and lunch at school. That in combination with a frequent snacking increases the risk of caries. The aim of this study was to examine the knowledge of caries, oral hygiene- and dietary habits and experience of tobacco among 12-year-old schoolchildren. The study was performed in 5th grade in four different schools in the North East of Skåne in cooperation with the dental health board clinic in Näsby, Kristianstad.

Sverige är idag inte längre ett homogent land utan numera är det ett mångkulturellt land där många nationaliteter, etniciteter och religioner ska samspela. Hur kan det vara att lära sig ett andraspråk och vilka faktorer är viktiga i tillägnandet av det? Syftet med denna studie var att se hur undervisningen kan se ut i en mångkulturell grundskola där flertalet av eleverna har ett annat modersmål än svenska, med fokus på om och hur skolan arbetar med att tillvarata andraspråksinlärarnas modersmål gentemot svenskan. Tanken var även att få ta del av andra faktorer såsom hemmets, skolan och fritidsverksamhetens roll i tillägnandet av ett andraspråk. Detta för att blivande och verksamma pedagoger samt andra som är intresserade inom andraspråksinlärning ska kunna få se hur undervisning inom detta kan se ut och bedrivas.

The purpose of our essay is to investigate the trust in accountants. The method we used to investigate the trust was a survey and a questionnaire was used to collect the data. The data was gathered from three different groups, shareholders, lenders and tax authority. When we analysed the data we found out that the groups trust in accountants were neither strong nor weak. The results can be generalized on all the three groups because the observations were scattered around the means and we used random selection to collect the data.

The purpose of this study has been to examine reading habits and the use of the library by pre­school teachers in a mainly multicultural community, and also explore to what extent activities in the local library are aimed at preschoolers.The study used a sociocultural approach based on Vygotsky?s theories of learning and development and Söderbergh?s theory of early childhood language development, and was carried out during the summer 2009. The methodology used was both quantitative and qualitative, with a combination of questionnaires and interviews. Questionnaires were sent out to each section of the municipal pre­schools within the catchments area of the local public library in a multicultural suburb of Uppsala. Three short interviews were carried out with staff at the local and main library branches, as well as library staff at the County Council.The results show that, although preschool teachers find reading important in their work, many teachers read spontaneously and/or sporadically.

Barns språkutveckling är central i alla förskolors arbete, oavsett inriktning på verksamheten.De förskolor som betonar språket som sin profil i verksamheten och de s.k. språkförskolorna som reserverat ett antal platser i barngruppen för barn med språksvårigheter specialiserar sig dock ytterligare på språket i sin verksamhet.Syftet har varit att söka reda på huruvida språkförskolan och den vanliga förskolan skiljer sig åt i arbetet för barns språkutveckling. För att uppfylla syftet har intervjuer med pedagoger i den vanliga förskolan och språkförskolan genomförts. Genom intervjuerna söks en klarhet i hur man arbetar med språket i de olika verksamheterna samt hur pedagogerna upplever vad som är viktigt i arbetet för en positiv språkutveckling. Detta har sedan ställts i relation till läroplanen samt den forskning som finns kring barns språkutveckling och språkstimulering i förskolan.

The aim of my study is to investigate how last year students in upper secondary schoolunderstand certain mathematical concepts, in particular the unit circle and its trigonometry.I have used intentional analysis to interpret student?s actions when they solve certain tasks onthe basis of a cognitive, situated and cultural context.Interviews with four university teachers in mathematics about the unit circle, trigonometry,and mathematical understanding, serve both as background for the study and as basis for adiscussion, where I relate students understanding to what the teachers want new students toknow about these concepts when they begin university studies in mathematics.The students were arranged in three groups with three students in each group. Each group waspresented with two tasks, one in which they were asked to calculate the cosine values for onepointed, one blunt and one straight angle, each located in a separate triangle. They were alsoasked to decide whether the points (0,71; 0,71) and d (1 2 , 3 2 ) are located on the unit circleor not.My conclusion is that students mainly have an operational conception of the unit circle andtrigonometry. The lack of structural conceptions result in difficulties in seeing connectionsbetween the concepts in unfamiliar situations.

Sedan 2005 ska företag pröva goodwills nedskrivningsbehov minst en gång årligen. Det här regleras i IAS 36 där det finns instruktioner om hur nedskrivningsprövningarna ska gå till. Dock har det i tidigare studier konstaterats att informationen som lämnas i anslutning till prövningarna inte är tillräcklig för att ge läsaren den användbarhet som bör finnas. Därför har författarna av uppsatsen genomfört en fallstudie med syfte att beskriva hur åtta företag motiverar sina nedskrivningsprövningar.Syftet med uppsatsen var att studera hur åtta börsnoterade företag som redovisar enligt IAS/IFRS värderar sin goodwill i samband med nedskrivningsprövningar. Tyngdpunkten låg på de motiveringar som låg till grund för värderingarna.Uppsatsen grundar sig på en kvalitativ fallstudie där årsredovisningar för åtta företag har studerats.
