The purpose of this Masters thesis is to examine how young womens sexuality is described in Swedish youth novels. The analysis is based upon eight books of which four were published during the period from 1970 to 1975 and four books were published during 2000 to 2005. The theoretical framework is based on a gender theoretical perspective where Yvonne Hirdmans theories about a gender system and Ylva Elwin-Nowaks and Heléne Thomssons ideas about gender construction are crucial. Also Anthony Giddens theories about sexuality in the late modern society are used, where the plastic sexuality and the pure relationship are central ideas. The method is based upon textual analysis, and a model of analysis is constructed with its basis in the theoretical attempt.

Today many sociologists speak about the modern world and the god and bad that it brings. In association to this discussion there is a tendency to speak about an increased individualization, a process that often also means more choices and possibilities. But in addition to this follows a big responsibility for how we choose to live our lives, since our choices not seldom also influences other people, both locally and globally. The aim of this essay is to investigate the importance of non-profit organizations with social direction in our Swedish welfare society and thereby also in a modern world where people's individual choices are becoming all more important. In order to answer my main issue I have implemented thirteen qualitative interviews, of which ten of the informers are from different non-profit organizations and three from different stately authorities.

Dagens förskolebarn är den första riktigt digitala generationen. De har vuxit upp med datorer och Internet sedan de kom till världen. Följaktligen är barns värld idag både analog och digital och barnen rör sig ledigt mellan dessa två världar. Digitala spel har gjort att barn förstår sig på den nya tekniken på ett sätt som vuxna inte gör. Digitala spel vädjar till barns fantasi och ger ett alternativ till verkligheten AFK (Away From Keyboard).

During the beginning of the 19th century Sweden is effected by the Napoleonic Wars and in the aftermath of the war Sweden looses Finland to Russia. This loss leads to the dismissal of King Gustav IV Adolf and the introduction of the Bernadotte dynasty on the Swedish throne. Over the century the industrialization plays a big part in the progress of Sweden. The growth of the industries leads to developments in the areas of agriculture. With this essay I would like to examine if the people on the countryside of Gotland keep the same pace as the people on the mainland in their introduction of new things.

Min hypotes har varit att det som landskapsarkitektstudenterna på Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet i Ultuna (SLU/Ultuna) lär sig är inriktat på att lösa de funktionella och vetenskapliga aspekterna snarare än de estetiska vid gestaltning. Syftet med uppsatsen är därför att undersöka hur förhållandet mellan gestaltning och vetenskap står sig mellan SLU/Ultuna och ?Austin E. Knowlton School of Architecture? (KSA), genom jämförelse av utbildningens uppbyggnad, fakta och kurser vid de båda universiteten. Resultatet visar både skillnader och likheter mellan utbildningen på de valda universiteten, vilket åskådliggörs genom tabeller, diagram, kursbeskrivningar och projekt.

This study centres on the question of how interfaith dialogue can function as a meeting place for young people from different social and cultural backgrounds. The study is based on qualitative interviews with five young participants in an interfaith project taking place in Sweden in 2013 and 2014. For reading the material through a lens of late modern religiosity, Heelas and Woodheads thesis of a spiritual revolution was used. To be able to conclude whether the religiousness of the participants functions as a social resource, Hammack and Cohlers term narrative engagement is used. Lastly Knitters models of theologies of religions was used in the analysis of how the participants reads and understands their own and the others faiths.The study shows that the participants meet in the common aim of defining a religious identity in a late modern and pluralistic society.

The purpose of this report is to explore how modern technology can work againstolder craft techniques. The focus of the research will depend on what conditions areoptimal for cutting marquetry with laser technology. In my work I account for thehistorical background of the various techniques and then through own practical testsexamine whether the laser technology can complement the traditional techniques..

This is a historical documentary research study across Neva Leona Boyd (1876-1963). The theoretical perspective is based on the historical perspective of knowledge from ancient Greece to the approach of modern symbolic interactionism. The study shows that Boyd, who was Viola Spolins teacher, was a proponent of the modern view of group play theory. 1909 she founded Chicago School for Playground Workers, later transformed to the Recreation Training School. Until 1927, the school entered in Hull-House initiated by Jane Addams.

This diploma work was performed at the department for radiation physics at the Health University in Linköping. Its aim was to develop a method to retrospectively quantify the absorbed dose in coral. Coral is a material which suites well as a retrospective dosimeter because when exposed to radioactivity its induced free radicals are stable in time. The number of radicals is proportional to the accumulated dose so the dose can be calculated by quantifying the radicals. Therefore, coral can tell us something about the past environment and also be used in dating purposes.A young, modern coral from the Red Sea was studied and also a fossil one which I was given from the Natural History Museum in Stockholm.

Syfte: Syftet med studien är att beskriva och öka förståelsen för processen kring produktplacering i film. Mer specifikt syftar uppsatsen till att analysera samarbetet i denna form av nätverk. Metod: Studien är designad utifrån en föreställning om produktplacering som en kommunikationsform där samarbete är centralt. Tillvägagångssättet består i huvudsak av en fallstudie av en svensk film. Resultatet från fallstudien kompletteras med tidigare studier, av mer allmän art, för att (i viss mån) kunna generaliseras.

The shopping mall is a reflection of the city and its habitants, a concentrate of the modern city. I have studied the dialogues of malls and the communication within, how malls are put together and what they communicate. The city is constantly changing. As soon as we try to grasp the city, it slips away. My opinion is that city planners and landscape architects need to widen their views. City planning needs to develop to better fit to the changes of our modern cities.

This work describes whystereotyping of occupational roles are a problem andtherefore examining how well research on the subject isconsistent with films from various years and genres..

Denna uppsats syftar till att kartlägga och beskriva de ideal som rått inom svenskträdgårdskonst under 300 år i Sverige. Arbetet behandlar relationen mellan människan,naturen och trädgårdskonsten, ur ett historiskt perspektiv. Uppsatsens huvuddel består i enkartläggning av den svenska idéhistoriska utvecklingen vad gäller natursyn samt en parallellbeskrivning av ledande trender och rådande ideal inom svensk landskapsarkitektur under 300år. Beskrivningen sker i kronologisk ordning och är uppdelad efter århundraden med börjanpå 1700-talet.Under 1700-talets skedde en stor förändring i människans syn på natur, vilken gav avtryckäven inom trädgårdskonsten. Istället för 1600-talets tuktade barockträdgårdar började denengelska landskapsparken få fäste även i Sverige och det nya, naturförskönande idealet blevbörjan på en lång stiltradition inom trädgårdskonst, där naturen stod förebild för trädgårdensutformning.
