Tiggeri och tiggare är idag ett omtalat fenomen som berör människor på olika sätt. Hur människor bildar sig en uppfattning kring ett fenomen kan många gånger avgöras av hur media framställer fenomenet. I denna studie presenteras en analys kring hur tiggeri och tiggare framställs i media över en längre tidsperiod. Materialet består av 30 artiklar publicerade i Dagens Nyheter under perioden december 1998 ? december 2013.

Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka vad lärare och pedagoger anser om effekterna av media, IT och IKT i undervisningen. Främjar eller hämmar det elevernas kunskapsinhämtande och vilken påverkan har den tekniska tillgången på elevernas skriftspråk, det vill säga hur mycket påverkas eleverna av det språk som förekommer i andra informella kontexter så som textmeddelande (sms) via telefonen, bruket av chattspråk samt de bloggsidor som de regelbundet besöker. Den variant av tillvägagångssätt jag har valt att grunda undersökningen på är av kvantitativ form. Påverkas elevernas skriftspråk något av den IT som förekommer i undervisningen idag och åt vilket håll i så fall? Som en parallell så pekar tidigare undersökningar på att eleverna vidgar språket med hjälp av den teknologi som går att tillgå i dagens undervisning.

The aim of this paper is to try to explain how specific, foreign policy decisions are made, and why one state decides to use violence against another state. A qualitative method is used, and text and documents are analysed. The two theoretical points of departure are central within foreign policy analysis: realism´s theories on external threats and constructivism´s theories on ideas´ policy influence. The empirical case chosen is the US decision to use military violence against Iraq. The paper investigates whether the real threat from Saddam Hussein´s Iraq was the cause of the American military attacks, or whether the ideas of leading politicians in the USA were decisive for the decision to invade the country.

Genom att framställa vissa fenomen som viktiga och samtidigt exkludera andra har media en stor inverkan på hur vi upplever nyheter, exempelvis om forskning. De senaste decennierna har biomedicinsk alkoholforskning tagit allt större plats i nyhetsmedia, framför allt i artiklar som rör hälsofrågor. Forskningens inträde på arenor i individers vardagsliv är intressant, dels för att det kan öka informationsflödet från forskare till samhällsmedborgare och dels för att en ytterligare dimension ? forskningen ? läggs till sammanflätningen av samhälle, media och människa. Syftet med uppsatsen är att analysera hur tidningsläsare tolkar biomedicinsk alkoholforskning skildrad i media, och vilken betydelse detta har för deras förståelse av (alkohol)beroende.

SammanfattningSyftet med uppsatsen var att undersöka vilka uppfattningar flickor och pojkar hade om sina kunskaper i geografi. Utifrån att allt som vi som individer möter påverkas våra kunskaper, har jag studerat om det fanns något förhållande mellan geografiska kunskaper, lek-, media- och resvanor och kön. Det empiriska materialet utgår från en enkätundersökning utförd på fyra klasser i årskurs nio. Eleverna fick besvara frågor om sina lek- media- och resvanor och frågor på natur- och kulturgeografi med antagandet att de tillgodogjort sig mål att uppnå i geografi. Analysen av resultatet, med utgångspunkter i beräknandet av chi2-värdet och i genuskontraktet och genussystemet, visade på att en kvalitativ skillnad mellan pojkars och flickors lek- och mediavanor reflekteras i deras geografiska kunskaper.

New political parties are increasing as phenomena in Swedish politics. Some of these parties have gained much attention in the media, and recent examples are Junilistan, Feministiskt initiativ and Sjukvårdspartiet. Media plays an important role for political parties as it is a way for the parties to communicate with the citizens. Therefore this essay examines how these three new parties have been pictured in media lately, and with what arguments they are discussed. This is done by argument analysis of editorials in five Swedish newspapers.

Sexturismär ett brett begrepp som mestadels förknippas med västerländska äldre män som reser till utvecklingsländer för att köpa sex. Detta har uppmärksammats sedan början av 1970-talet men på senare år har den kvinnliga sexturismen uppmärksammats allt mer i den svenska media. Studien redogör för den svenska kvinnliga sexturismen utomlands, med Gambia som fallstudie. När svensk media talar om fenomenet används förskönande beskrivningar, där kvinnornas beteender omantiseras i jämförelse med männens sexturism. Problematiseringen med detta är att två lika handlingar med samma syfte, beskrivs på två olika vis, beroende på kön.
