This study aims to give an account of five teachers? views and understandings of second language (L2) learners? previous knowledge, as well as, their linguistic and cultural backgrounds. This is carried out by the means of qualitative interviews, where the sampling consists of five primary school teachers at various schools. The findings are presented and analyzed using a thematic analysis. Furthermore, the study indicates that teachers in general have a positive attitude to learning more about their L2 learners? prior knowledge and backgrounds, both for the pupils, as well as, their own sake.

Waara (2009) menar att människor är mobila i olika utsträckning i förhållande till åldern. I åldern 19-23 är vi som mest mobila och villiga att flytta för utbildning eller arbete. Det finns dock även de ungdomar som väljer att flytta redan i samband med att de påbörjar sina gymnasiestudier. Syftet med föreliggande studie är således att undersöka ungdomars upplevelse av att flytta hemifrån vid 15-16 års ålder för att för att läsa gymnasiet på annan ort än i hemkommunen. De drivkrafter vilka ligger bakom ungdomarnas val belystes med hjälp av fem djupintervjuer med ungdomar från olika delar av Norrbotten som alla hade flyttat till Luleå.

Den problembild som denna uppsats uppmärksammar är den att studenter vid Luleå tekniska universitet i hög utsträckning väljer att flytta från Luleå efter avslutade studier. Syftet med denna uppsats är att utvärdera Luleå kommuns policy gentemot studenterna vid Luleå tekniska universitet (LTU) för att dels undersöka om policyn grundas på migrationsteori, samt om målet med policyn uppnås. I uppsatsen kommer Vedungs interventionsteori att användas som redskap för att synligöra hur kommunens policy är tänkt att fungera. Vid undersökningen av hur policyn är konstruerad kommer Luleå kommuns policy, migrationsteori och studenters åsikter att sättas samman med interventionsteori som grund för att visa hur de olika delarna är tänkt att påverka varandra för att policyn ska få väntat resultat. Den metod som använts är dels en litteraturstudie angående ämnet migration för att undersöka vilka faktorer som påverkar människor att flytta eller stanna.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att se om modellverksamheten resulterar i en mer rättssäker behandling av asylärenden. För att fullfölja syftet har jag följande frågeställningar: Vilka skillnader och likheter finns det mellan den traditionella verksamheten och modellverksamheten? På vilket sätt kommer modellverksamheten att innebära en förbättring eller försämring för den som söker asyl? För att ge svar på dessa frågor finns det kapitel som handlar om bland annat migrations- och asylpolitik, medborgarskap, mänskliga rättigheter, Sverige som rättsstat och modellverksamheten. Slutsatsen är att modellverksamheten kommer att innebära förbättringar och försämringar för den asylsökande. En av förbättringarna är att asylprocessen kommer att gå fortare än tidigare och en försämring kan vara att de asylsökande kan komma att behandlas på olika sätt..

Denna rapport kommer att redogöra för NK-cellers (Naturliga mördarceller) beteende vid odopat tillstånd. Det vi kallar dopning är när NK-celler aktiveras genom interleukin-2, detta är en signalerande molekyl i vårt immunsystem som reglerar aktiviteten hos vita blodkroppar vilka utgör en del av immunförsvaret.Med hjälp av ett par mikroskopfilmer har vi kunnat följa varje enskild NK-cells migration(rörelse) och interaktion med våra målceller i ett prov under en 8-timmars period. De målceller vi använder är en sorts tumörceller, HEK 293T(Human embryonic kidney 293T cells. Vi har valt att spåra cellerna manuellt med ett program kallat ImageJ och automatiskt med ett matlabprogram, Baxter algorithm. Anledningen till att vi dessutom valt att spåra automatiskt är för att kunna avgöra hur väl detta program kan spåra celler.

The Swedish working-class author Ivar Lo-Johansson (1901-1990) wrote a collection of one hundred short stories between the years 1968-1972. His other productions, generally speaking, have partially different social reform purposes, but, according to himself, these short stories were written with the intention to be totally free of tendencies (even though he himself doubted that he succeeded with this).During the same period that these short stories were published, the Swedish social democrats were under the challenge of radical movements that, mainly on the radical left?s ideological foundation, had a relatively strong influence in Sweden, among other countries, from the mid 1960?s to the late 1970?s. Since Lo-Johansson mainly seemed to have supported the politics of the social democrats, the purpose of the investigation in this thesis has been to see if he ? in the three short stories: Vikingakärlek (1970), Rikslögnaren (1971) and Ansgars resa till Sverige (1972) ? is conveying an ideological use of history and basic political values that were used by the social democratic party during this time period.

The title of this Master´s thesis is Multicultural librarian competence - a literature study and interwievs with librarians and managers in Malmö Public Library.Every fifth Swede is born abroad or has at least one parent who are. The migration flows of today reach out longer, there are more efficent ways of communication and travel. This has made previously ethnic homogeneous populations as the swedish more and more hetergeneous. Library services to inmigrant users started out as a specially directed activities. The political view of migration has changed over the years and the current perspective is the one of mutual integration and cultural diversity.

The thesis explores how the category religion is used discursively in Swedish public debates and in what way the discourses can be related to debate-positions. The thesis also exploresquestions of power and how social identities are negotiated: which identities are madepossible ? and encouraged ? by the discourse, and which are being excluded?The specific cases chosen are: (i) the election of Omar Mustafa as a substitute member of the governing board of the Social Democratic party in April 2013, (ii) the appointment of Elisabeth Svantesson as Minister of employment in September 2013, (iii) the debate concerning male circumcision (2011-2013), and, (iv) the debate about Jewish home education(2012-2013).The theoretical and methodological perspectives used in the thesis are discourse analysis and Pierre Bourdieu?s theory of social fields, usually interwoven together. Discourse analysis is mainly used to explore how the category of religion is attached to central binaries in the debates such as faith/politics, private/public, secularism/fundamentalism, etc., and also how chains of equivalences are established. Bourdieu?s theory of social fields is used tocontextualize the discourses in the specific debates and relate them to orthodox and heterodox debate-positions.

The purpose of this thesis is to present and describe which criteria, according to the systemfamily Configuration Management, should be met when developing a CM-tool to handlemigration data.ACT is a tool developed by Microsoft to gather information about, analyze, test and mitigateapplications in a network when migrating the IT-infrastructure of an organization to a newoperating system. The organization that is being studied wants to present the data about theanalyzed applications in such a way, that a customer can choose what to mitigate and migrate.The goal is therefore to develop a prototype (CM-tool) that will present this data.The study has shown that ACT lacks certain requirements stated by the organization when itcomes to presentation. But when it comes to the rest of the functions, ACT performs as expected.The investigation resulted in specifications and technical solution for the new CM-tool. CMcriteriafor migration data was put forth and parts of the prototype were also developed..

Granskning av likheter och skillnader mellan kvotflyktingar och andra flyktinggrupper belyses i tredje delen och sista delen tar upp hur lagstiftning och kriterier inverkar i processen..

Discussions about the democratic deficit of the European Union have gotten more intense and the criticism usually points towards a great gap between the citizens and the EU politics. In this study the political communication policy is being put under the scope to investigate to what extent the policy is designed to counter the democratic deficit, supported by the theory of deliberative democracy. The analysis examines three aspects of the deficit ? decentralization, participation and the distribution of information ? and makes research into the communicative measures that have been implemented. The importance for EU to make deliberation possible is stressed throughout the essay and in the conclusion I argue that improvements still need to be made.  .
