Att arbeta med tolk vid bedömningar : sjuksköterskors upplevelser av kvalitén
Background:Studies show that when nurses are experiencing problems in the care of non-Swedish speaking patients, it is often due to obstacles in the communication. Studies also show that a prerequisite for adequate care is that there is a basis for a direct communication. Nurses perceive interpreters as an important link to the patient when they do not share a mutual language, the nurses perceive interpreters as a bridge in the conversation.Aim:The purpose of the study is to describe nurses' experiences of the quality of assessments done with the help of an interpreter.Method:The study was conducted through interviews with ten nurses, working at psychiatric clinics. Qualitative content analysis was used for the analysis, which resulted in five categories.Results:The analysis resulted in one theme: "it´s the interpreter who tells me and have not the feeling that the patient has" and five categories: "shades of the language", "conversation structure", "the interpreter's competence", "interpreting implementing" and "the interpreter's gender and origin". The nurses experience working with interpreters as a challenge.

Att skriva en berättelse : En studie av hur elever i årskurs 3 anpassar stilen i sina berättande texter
The present study has two purposes. One aim is to investigate to what extent 20 pupils in grade 3 use two different forms of presentation in their narrative texts and how these choices of forms of presentation create certain patterns in the pupils? texts. Another aim is to study to what extent the pupils use various features of spoken language in their narrative texts and whether these features correlate with the forms of presentation. The material in the study consists of 20 narrative texts from the national test in Swedish in 2011.
Utprövning och prosodisk analys av ord- och nonordsrepetition på en grupp barn med typisk utveckling
Previous research has confirmed that the ability to repeat non-words has a close connection to a child?s language acquisition (Adams & Gathercole, 2000; Gray, 2003; Sahlén, Reuterskiöld-Wagner, Nettelbladt & Radeborg, 1999). It is also known that a repetition task is aided if the word is well known to the child (Roy & Chiat, 2004; Sahlén, m.fl., 1999). A relatively under-investigated area is that of the influence of prosodic variables on repetition of words and non-words.In the current study, 44 Swedish children between the ages of four and six years with typical language development were tested regarding word- and non-word repetition abilities. The words and non-words were matched based on stress, tonal word accent and number of syllables.

Flippade klassrum, film eller pecha-cucha. En kvalitativ undersökning om hur elever i en åk 8 prövar nya arbetssätt i digital miljö
Syfte: Att tillsammans med elever i åk 8, pröva och värdera ett nytt arbetssätt. Frågeställningarna är:? Ökar ett nytt arbetssätt elevernas lust att lära?? Känns undervisningen mer meningsfull med ett nytt arbetssätt?? Förändras lärarrollen och i så fall på vilket sätt?Teori: Lärande sker i samspel och i kommunikation med andra, lärande är en aktiv handling, där den som lär presenterar sitt lärande på olika sätt, genom olika teckenskapande aktiviteter. Kompetens inom IKT och användandet av IKT-verktyg gynnar lärandet och lärarens roll förändras i och med användandet av IKT.Metod: En kvalitativ undersökning där aktionsforskning används i vilken intervjuer, enkäter, observationer och dagboksskrivande ingår.Resultat: Både genomgång med hjälp av flipped classrooms (eleverna ser en film med lektionsgenomgången, innan lektionen börjar) )och redovisning genom pecha-kucha (en form av Power-Pointpresentation) eller film ökar lusten att lära hos de flesta av eleverna i den undersökta klassen. Däremot kan jag inte utifrån resultatet av den här undersökningen säga om dessa arbetssätt också upplevs som mer meningsfulla.

Hur agerar pedagoger utomhus? : En studie i förhållningssätt till barn i förskolan och deras utemiljö.
The following essay or thesis is a study over scientific endeavors in the fringe. It is a study of Riksorganisationen UFO-Sverige, whose proponents aim to make the UFO phenomenon (or phenomena) a subject of scientific scrutiny. To achieve this, the ufologists first have to redefine common concepts of ufology as pseudo science or religion, mainly by challenging definitions given by scientific sceptics on the one hand, and proponents of conspiracy theories or the new age environment on the other. Thus UFO-Sverige seeks to construct an alternative scientific identity in contrast to adversaries on both sides, each unwilling to give the UFO phenomenon any further examination. Following the work of Tomas Gieryn's sociological grip on questions of epistemology, especially concerning the social boundaries of science from other cultural categories through what has been labelled as epistemic boundary work, during which proponents of a particular field aim to achieve epistemic authority and thus the legitimate right to define what is and what is not science, I seek to analyze how questions of science and legitimacy are actualized in an intellectual environment or culture not broadly accepted as scientific.
Elevtexter - en analys av elevers skriftspråksutveckling och syn på musik från grundskolan till gymnasiet

The essays were analyzed with respect to musical content and linguistic form.
Demokrati och vetenskap - ett problemfyllt förhållande
What role should science play in democracy? Political scientists often assume that it is possible to demarcate between ?instrumental? and ?moral? knowledge, and argue that citizens and/or politicians should use their moral knowledge to agree upon political goals and then apply the instrumental knowledge of scientists to achieve them. This straightforward view is challenged by writers in science studies, who identify three major problems in the use of science in democracy: uncertainty, risk and hidden values. They suggest that these problems could be solved through citizen participation.In this essay I perform an analysis of the internal logic of their suggestion. Is it likely that citizen participation enhances the democratic decision making process so as to reduce the problems? The internal analysis shows that it is rational to advocate citizen participation by reasons of legitimacy.
Forskningsfronten och forskningsbasen inom informationsvetenskap ? en bibliometrisk undersökning
The purpose with this study is to map the research front and the research base in information science, by using the bibliometric methods bibliographic coupling and author-co citation analysis. The research questions are: 1. What is the nature of the research front in information science, regarding which areas that are being studied? 2. What is the nature of the research base in information science, regarding which authors who are most cited, and how they can be grouped? The data used in the study were gathered from articles published in the journal Journal of the American society for information science and technology, published between 2004-2006, respectively 1986-2006.

Sfi-undervisningen genom tiderna : En studie av tre läro-och kursplaner
The aim of this paper is to analyze how syllabus plans for the course Swedish for immigrants have changed in the past 40 years. The paper focuses mainly on how different theories on learning in general and second language acquisition in particular have influenced the syllabus. Furthermore, the paper attempts to identify changes in how the teachers? role is described in the documents. My results indicate that syllabus plans from the 70?s were influenced by behaviorism, progressivism and the sociocultural view on learning, while syllabus plans from the 90?s and 00?s show only influences from the two latter perspectives.
