The empirical material consisted of interviews with eight pupils in age between 9 to 12 years old and who had special education.

I den här studien undersöks hur vägledning av nyanlända elever på grundskolan går till utifrån ett vägledarperspektiv. Undersökningen är förlagd till grundskolor i Stockholms stad som har förberedelseklasser på högstadienivå. Genom en kvalitativ metod har studie- och yrkesvägledare intervjuats om arbetssätt, syn på användande av tolk vid samtal och hur de själva ser på sina styrkor och svagheter som vägledare. Resultatet visar att i de flesta fall blir det samtal som är baserade på information istället för vägledning. Informationen handlar om IVIK och vägen dit.

This paper addresses the need to review the modern presentation of textile archaeology in museums. It is time to look at textiles in archaeology with new eyes. The reality behind archaeological textilestudy is holistic, embracing many different aspects of society. The presentation of textiles has in my opinion become old-fashioned. I will show in my paper that Jonathan Adams? `seven constraints´ model, developed for research on ancient ships, can also be applied to textile research.

The problems with train-induced vibrations are increasing with heavier and faster trains. Therefore the work with propagating vibrations is of outmost importance, and that is what this thesis relates to.To get a sensible idea of the propagation, calculation models are often used. Propagation calculation models takes into account factors such as distance to the railway, the ground material and the velocity and weight of the train. This work is mainly about finding suitable existing models and, if necessary, adjust them to be more useful with modern trains and railways.The report contains the work of adjusting one such model and does, despite the fully functional adjusted model, describe how much more there can be done within this topic. Finally, a few tips about specific areas that preferably should be studied to get even further knowledge about the troublesome problems from railways..

Slutsats: Av allt att döma finns de skandinavistiska tankarna även hos icke-eliten. Främst hos det bildade borgerskapet av handlare, hantverksmästare och tjänstemän. Bland lägre borgerskap och stadsbor, som gesäller och arbetare samt landsbygdsbefolkning, kan det inte dras några slutsatser över exakt hur stark och utbredd de skandinavistiska idéerna är men idéerna och sympatier finns där, om än inte lika utbrett som hos de mer bildade..

Uppsatsens titel: Den moderna resekunden En studie i informationssöknings- och bokningsbeteendeFörfattare: Malin Olsson och Caroline SvanbergHandledare: Erika Andersson Cederholm och Maria MånssonProblem- Mycket av forskningen kring resebranschens olika kommunikations-beskrivning kanaler antar researrangörernas perspektiv och behandlar omtalade ämnen såsom den fysiska resebyråns överlevnad i ett alltmer virtuellt samhälle. Vi upplever att det behövs undersökningar som ställer kunden i fokus och studerar de bakomliggande faktorer till hur kunder väljer att dels samla in information inför sitt köp av resa och dels utföra den faktiska bokningen.Syfte: Syftet med vår uppsats är att studera komplexiteten och nyanserna i de tillvägagångssätt som olika typer av resekunder använder sig av vid informationssökning och bokning av resor samt definiera de faktorer som ligger bakom beteendet. Därigenom vill vi specificera vad som utmärker en typisk modern resekund av idag.Metod: Vi har valt att använda researrangören Sembo som vårt fallföretag. I vår undersökning har vi antagit ett abduktivt perspektiv, där vi kombinerat två kvalitativa metoder i djupintervjuer och frågeformulär utskickade via e-mail.Teori: Vi har valt att först behandla teorier utifrån ett bransch- och aktörsperspektiv för att sedan behandla resekundens informationssöknings och bokningsbeteende.Slutsatser: Vi har kommit fram till att en typisk modern resekund vill ha kontroll över sin informationssökning och bokning samtidigt som den sociala omgivningen spelar en stor roll som informationskälla. Många kunder anpassar sig till dagens självbetjänande förutsättningar och skapar en relation till dem, samtidigt som det alltid kommer att finnas människor som inte gör det utan föredrar kontakt med en yrkesperson.

This essay examines the persuasive side of music and its affect on consumer behavior when utilized in television commercials. It includes an interpretation of twelve study cases, in which three groups of four people is presented the same commercial, with different music being the only item dividing the groups. This is followed by a few questions about the product. The aim is then to see how the answers differ from one group to another, and how they match the music?s presupposed connotations suggested in the theory part of the essay, thus, observing the communicative, and eventually persuasive, power of music in television commercials.

This essay focuses on psychoanalytic theory and its relevance for political studies. It especially draws attention to the conceptual toolkit developed by Jacques Lacan and the way that it serves as the starting point for Slavoj Zizek´s approach to the theory of ideology. One important point of this approach is that the power of an ideology is not primarily related to the ideas or worldview it expresses but rather to the enjoyment it provides the subject with. This enjoyment is obscene in the sense that it forms the necessary, but seldom acknowledged, supplement to public values. Fantasy is a major source for this kind of enjoyment.

The objective with this essay was to compare the modern epistolary novel Priority by danish author Iselin C. Hermann with the epistolary genre during its heyday in late seventeenth to early nineteenth century. I especially looked at gender: the similarities and differences between the female character in Priority and the female characters during the epistolary novels days of glory. I concluded that Priority has the same structure, characteristics as the heyday epistolary novel and that the female character does not have any typical similarities with its stereotypical female characters. In addition I also came to the conclusion that she is reminiscent to their original model Héloïse and follows the epistolary novels heyday convention when she dies at the end of the novel..

The importance of internal communication within companies has increased in recent years. However, there are still a number of companies that are not adapted to the modern world and the new modes of communication the Internet provides. This study evaluates the internal communication of a medium sized company by holding semistructured interviews with the employees. The goal of the interviews was to develop a requirement specification. This requirement specification was later used as the basis to analyze possible aids for the internal communication of the company.
