De senaste årtiondenas explosionsartade teknologiska utveckling har gett oss möjlighet till en mer stillasittande och inaktiv livsstil framför skärmbundna aktiviteter som datorer, surfplattor och smartphones. Det leder till en avvikande hållning. En avvikande hållning i nacke och axlar definieras som ökat framskjutet huvud, ökad thorakal kyfos samt protraherade (framskjutna) axlar. Genom ökad aktiv eller passiv tension av pectoralis minor har forskare antytt att det kan påverka skuldrans kinematik för individer med nack- och skuldersmärta. Syftet med studien var att utvärdera om töjning av pectoralis minor med behandlingsmetoden Ventral Töjning Pectoralt (VTP) har någon inverkan på individens avvikande hållning genom korrigering av axlarnas och nackens position.

The purpose of this essay is to find out how two schools work with newly arrived children and to see how they differ. There is a lack of national directives for those who work with newly arrived children and teenagers; this makes the introduction very different between schools.The study is qualitative, based on interviews with four teachers in two different compulsory schools. One school is situated in a suburb of Stockholm and the other one is situated in a minor community in Dalarna. One schools got a preparatory class for newly immigrated pupils and the other school doesn?t.The theoretical frame that I have chosen to analyse these interviews are literature and research on Bilingualism, Children with PTSD, Intercultural Pedagogy and Special PedagogyMy results also show that these schools work very differently, and that there is very little co-operation within the school and with the units around the school, regarding these children.

This essay studied how six girls experienced their reading development during their college education in male-dominated profession programs. The issues assumed were how they experience their literature reading and literature education and what happened with their interest in reading. The theoretical frame included researchers Säljö, Rosenblatt, Gun Malmgren, Olin-Scheller, Ulfgaard and Molloy.The study showed that most of the girls felt their reading had worsened but not because of their male classmates but because of school. They had a lot of homework and participated in so many different school projects which would be completed that there was no time to reading for pleasure. The girls did not like the teachers? literate sample and did not like the methods used in learning literature.

It also aims to determine whether this literature is of any help during an actual project of digitization.
