Chapter 6 of the Ch?ndogya Upani?ad has often been treated in works on early Indian philosophy, as well as in some comparative studies on color symbolism. Attempts to place it in a larger framework against the background of late Vedic religion are, however, few, the rationalistic and ?tradition-challenging? appearance of the text having repeatedly been emphasized. But the doctrine contained in the text ? a cosmologic teaching on the three elements constituting the universe, each being characterized by a color (red, white, black) ? and their microcosmic counterparts in the human body, does have some clear affinities to the worldview of the Br?hma?as and ?ra?yakas, which posits a series of similar correlations (bandhu-) between macro- and microcosmos.

The purpose of this essay was to examine six high school welfare officers' experiences and work with students suffering from social phobia and discuss the welfare officers' view on social phobia from a psychiatric, cognitive and a knowledge theory. The study consists of qualitative interviews with welfare officers from several different high schools and attempts to answer the following questions: What previous experiences do welfare officers have of students with social phobia? How do welfare officers become aware of students with symptoms of social phobia and bring forth their problems? How do welfare officers describe their social work with students suffering from social phobia?The welfare officers' experiences of students with social phobia varied but turned out to be less salient than the amount of research in the area would suggest. The theoretical knowledge also varied, as did the acquiring and use of theory. These findings were then analysed on the basis of Rosmari Eliassons thoughts on knowledge, leading to the conclusion that the interviewed welfare officers do not construct their work on praxis-knowledge.

The aim of this study is to analyse how female neopagan practitioners form their identitiesindividually as well as collectively. Using Ernesto Laclau?s and Chantal Mouffe?s discourse theory and Anthony Giddens? descriptions of late modernity and self-identity, I intend toinvestigate my informants? construction and upholding of a meaningful identity and sense ofself. I will also look at how the neopagan movement can be viewed as a phenomenon closely interwoven with the overriding tendencies in our contemporary society.

Titel: Redovisningskonsultens förändrade yrkesroll - orsakad av den avskaffade revisionsplikten Ämne: Företagsekonomi/Redovisning Nivå: Kandidatuppsats i företagsekonomi 15 hp Författare: Mimi Eriksson, men03015@student.mdh.seJohanna Johansson, jjn06004@student.mdh.seDiego Velasquez, dvz06001@student.mdh.se Datum: 2009-05-29 Handledare: Ann-Sofi Paul Problemformulering: Vilka möjliga konsekvenser kan ett eventuellt avskaffande av revisionsplikten medföra för redovisningskonsulternas yrkesroll? Syfte: Uppsatsen ämnar ta reda på vilka förändringar som kan uppkomma vid ett eventuellt avskaffande av revisionsplikten för redovisningskonsulterna. Metod: Studien har genomförts med en kvalitativ ansats och ett deskriptivt/deduktivt angreppssätt. Uppsatsens primärdata består av intervjuer gjorda med redovisningskonsulter, revisorer samt SRF och FAR SRS. Slutsats: Förändringarna kommer förmodligen till en början att gå långsamt fram för redovisningskonsulterna. Det som kan komma att ses är att redovisningskonsulten kan även få en mer affärsrådgivande roll. Konkurrensen kan komma att öka mellan revisorer och redovisningskonsulter då möjliga "jävsituationer" kan upphöra vilket leder till att revisorerna kan komma att öka utbudet av kombiuppdrag.

The individual educational plan (IEP) is a document used in Swedish schools. The purpose of the document is to help and support students who have difficulties in their schoolwork in various ways.

In this study I try to understand the students? experience of its relevance and purpose and the impact which can be achieved by an IEP.

This thesis has had its focus on ceramic shards found in a trench by the late neolithic western shore of the Ajvide site. The purpose of the thesis is to investigate if there are changes in the pottery between the test trench and the ceramics found by the graves, known as the main site. The author has compared the ornaments from the test trench with an ornament schedule made from over 50 000 shards from the assumed main site. Not only changes regarding ornaments has been noticed but also new techniques and raw material. The author has also implemented two 14C datings which backs his hypothesis that the shards from the test trench are younger than the shards that made the earlier ornament schedule.
