Today, many people have the need of contemplation due to higher stress levels in every day life compared to before. By examining the conditions of a secularized place of contemplation in greenbelts close to residential areas, I hope to contribute to a more balanced picture of how we utilize our greenbelts in the future. This kind of place is not a common phenomenon in our everyday outdoor environment.I have taken my starting-point in the traditional memorial and by that means been able to study the design of an existing delicate environment intended for mourning and contemplation. In this paper I review foremost the secularized place of contemplation in greenbelts close to residential areas from two central questions. First I examine its possibility to function as a place for mourning and contemplation.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka sambandet mellan perfektionism och psykologiska färdigheter hos fotbollspelare. Studien utfördes på 207 fotbollsspelande gymnasieelever som alla gick någon form av fotbollslinje på respektive skola. Informanterna fick fylla i två stycken frågeformulär, Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale som mäter perfektionism och Ottawa Mental Skills Assessment Tool-3 som mäter idrottspsykologiska färdigheter. Resultatet analyserades med hjälp av statistikprogrammet PASW där korrelationer (Pearson) mellan sex dimensioner av perfektionism och tolv psykologiska färdigheter genomfördes. Resultatet visade att det fanns flera signifikanta samband mellan de sex dimensionerna inom perfektionism och de tolv psykologiska färdigheterna. .

The shape and arrangement of the outdoor environment at a preschool has a critical impact on the possibilities to practice different pedagogic activities (Grahn et al.1997). At the preschool at Edwin Ahlqvists road, the employees are inspired by Reggio Emilia in their way of thinking, and they consider their outdoor environment is not suitable for the pedagogic activities they use. Reggio Emilia is a city in the north of Italy (Wallin 2001). The preschools there are famous for their pedagogy, their creativity and their democratic way of working (Dahlbech & Johansson 1986). The Reggio Emilia pedagogy is constantly renewed and developed, but with the children?s needs in focus and simultaneously with the quick changes of the modern society.

Under ungdomsåren sker en psykologisk och mental mognad som gör den unge individen kapabel att ifrågasätta sin identitet. Det identitetssökande som då tar sin början är en omfattande process. I takt med att individen frigör sig från familjen får jämnåriga en allt större betydelse för identitetsutvecklingen.Syftet med arbetet är att redogöra för hur några ungdomar beskriver sig själva och sina relationer till kamrater.Jag har intervjuat 10 par ungdomar i åldern 15 - 16 år och resultatet av min undersökning visar att kamrater har stor betydelse för hur de uppfattar sig själva. Ungdomarna ser kamrater som något självklart och till viss del är man någon tillsammans med sina kamrater..

The main purpose of this study is to, in the educator?s point of view, try to find out how pre-schools approach science and technology along with Information and Communication Technology (ICT).

Min undersökning visar att det i den ursprungliga judiska traditionen finns en närhet till den kosmiska strukturen. Den har därmed också bevarat en närhet till naturen och till de mänskliga instinkterna. Dessa är i sig varken primitiva eller onda, inte heller tillhör de en förfluten tid och kultur; de utgör istället en bro till helighet, även i vår tid. En ny tidsålder tvingar fram en ny syn på människans instinkter, som då de i likhet med emotionerna medvetandegjorts och bearbetats i en kontemplativ process, erbjuder en livsnödvändig källa till hälsa, energi och helighet.I min analys av den schamaniska ritualen i Metzora har jag lämnat den gängse tolkningen, och jag har dessutom relaterat ritualens symboler till ett kabbalistiskt synsätt. Jag har därmed lyft fram begreppet balans, som är grundläggande i alla ursprungliga religioner.
