The studied questions are: How the school is described in these selected picture books; what feeling does the main character have into the school start; how the teachers are described in this selected picture books and how are the power relationship described in these selected picture books?The method I have chosen for this essay is a discourse analysis of seven selected picture books with the meaning of starting school. All books studied are written during the 1990 and forward.

The concept of the photographic truth has had a special status for almost 200 years. Yet with the emerge of digital technology and especially digital photography there has been a loss of the particular connection photography has had in reference to reality. The aim of this study is to see in what ways digitalization has affected the credibility of photography from the perspective of professionals in the field of photography. The digital technology that has enabled the large-scale manipulation of photographies is not, however, the main reason for the decreased credibility of photography. The ongoing discussion about the available possibilities concerning digital imagery and manipulation has had a far more powerful effect on the concept of the photographic truth.

I detta arbete har jag undersökt hur man kan tillämpa teorier inom informationsdesign för att gestalta en designlösning som hjälper klättrare att minnas moment från topprepskursen.Svenska klätterförbundet vill utforma ett material med information om klättringsmoment som genomförts under topprepskursen. Materialet ska ges ut till examinerad klättrare i samband med att topprepskursen inomhus avklarats, för att påminna om vad för moment som genomförts under kursen. Tidigare material som ska fylla samma syfte finns tillgängligt men är inte utvecklat för att ges ut i samband med avklarad kurs. En designlösning som utifrån teorier inom informativ bild och kognition har producerats och testats genom öppna observationer. Resultatet i arbetet var att sju av åtta testpersoner i en observation kunde minnas hur ett praktiskt moment skulle utföras utifrån designförslaget..

Syftet med uppsatsen var att på uppdrag av butiken Trolltyg beskriva företagets kunder utifrån deras grad av tillfredställelse och lojalitet till butiken. Samt att bidra med en bild av butikens styrkor och svagheter och på så vis även bidra med kunskap till företaget för att ge det möjligheter att stärka dess konkurrenskraft. Metoden hade en kvantitativ ansats och en enkät utformades för insamling av data. Vi kom fram till att respondenterna överlag var nöjda med butiken och med det bemötande de fått. De ansåg sig få en rättvis bedömning när det kommer till återköp och de upplevde att känslan de får av butiken är positiv.

The main purpose of the culture is to serve people and represent the people's social will and freedom. Culture does not exist in a vacuum but shaped and framed by political and artistic structures that are not neutral, and this is why the artwork itself cannot be an independent business. The public function of art can be understood as a defense of the ideals of democracy. But today, when political power is often replaced by hegemony, the role of art and functions are changing. How these changes reflect to the identity, reality and truth of society? What political functions are fulfilled when art becomes ?public?? The issue of democracy is linked question of people?s power in a democratic society where power is legitimized in social space.

All since Thomas Kuhn?s strongly influential The Structure of Scientific Revolutions the Philosophy of Science and ?even more so ?the Social Sciences have contained a greater amount of theories that could be described as more or less relativistic, meaning that the standards of justification or truth thereafter more often were said to be relative to language, culture, or biological makeup. One of the more elaborate ways of developing Thomas Kuhn?s theories in a more relativistic direction ismade by the philosopher Richard Rorty. Rorty, mainly a supporter of Thomas Kuhn, is also a philosopher who has been seen as a main exponent of a so called Postmodern philosophy.My intention in this thesis is to evaluate whether Kuhn's and Rorty's theories of science and knowledge could be regarded as relativism, in respects of their view of incommensurability, rational argumentation, and of their position vis-á-vis the more conventional picture of scientific knowledge and truth.

Title: Merkel with NSA on the telephoneThe aim of this essay is to study how Angela Merkel is being portrayed in context of NSAs surveillance in the Swedish newspapers Dagens Nyheter and Aftonbladet. The time period for the study is from the 24th of October to the 7th of November in the autumn of 2013. To concretize the aim three questions was formulated, how Angela Merkel was being portrayed in the material, how NSAs surveillance of Angela Merkel was being portrayed in the material and how different statements for various individuals in the material could affect the truth about the surveillance. The method chosen to study these questions was a discourse analysis, which also would contain parts of a linguistic analysis. The theories to support the method were Laclau & Mouffes discourse theory and Michel Foucault?s genealogical discourse analysis.

The characteristic of services as an effort carried out in a "Moment of truth" implies a risk for failures. This study sheds new light on how alternative offerings that customers are initially exposed to can affect satisfaction and loyalty in the service failure and recovery context. More specifically, two aspects of the initial offering are studied: promised general service quality and the presence of a promise about a specific product attribute. Based on a presentation of the main theoretical perspectives, hypotheses are formulated and a scenario-based experiment in a hotel setting is designed to explore these. The results indicate that a higher level of promised service quality can result in more positive evaluations of satisfaction and stronger word-of-mouth intentions than for a lower level of promised service quality.

Critique regarding religious practices has become more and more apparent in today's society.Sans magazine has become a voice in the Swedish debate regarding religions undertakings and have received opposition from various directions. As Sans magazine, issue no.1, is accused of being islamophobic, the critique is focused on the internal discourse within the atheist and agnostic society. As Sans issue no.2 came out, it did not focus on Islam or any of the abrahamic religions but instead it discussed New age and the nature of pseudoscience.I sought to evolve the didactic discource regarding ?truth? and ?reality? by finding if thediscourse within Sans is apparent and if so, what it is based upon. The analysis also focuses onthe terms used to describe new age and pseudoscience.

Att reharmonisera inneba?r att man byter ut harmonierna till en melodi eller komposition. I mitt arbete har jag kartlagt de moment man kan anva?nda i reharmoniseringsprocessen. Till varje moment har jag producerat en webbsida med fo?rklarande text, notexempel och klingande musik som jag sedan satt samman till en webbplats..

This bachelor thesis engages in the question of silence in the writings of Fenno-Swedish modernists Mirjam Tuominen and Gunnar Björling, silence being understood as both a poetic theme and a question of literary form. Alongside this exposition runs a discussion about the possibilities and impossibilities of interpretation in the field of academic literary studies. This query is connected to the different ideological positions of the two writers, conjoined by ideas about anti-comprehensibility. Considering certain weaknesses of classical hermeneutics as well as the theory of deconstruction, especially in the case of reading poetry, this thesis tries to point out possible routs for a practice of a more dynamic interpretation, with special regard to understanding the trope of silence in the modernist poetry of Tuominen and Björling.The composition explicitly applies a ?method of wandering? inspired by Maurice Blanchot?s understanding of the priests of Dionysus in Hölderlin?s writings ? maundering in the holy night ? as a metaphor for a critique-in-the-creating.

Syftet med föreliggande studie var att undersöka förekomsten av så kallade störande moment i undervisningssituationer och hur dessa påverkade stämningen och lärandemiljön. Vi var även intresserade av att undersöka vilka strategier lärare använde sig av för att bemöta de olika störningsmomenten samt i vilken grad eleverna upplevde att lärarna lyckades i dessa intentioner. Metoderna vi använde oss av var dels observationer, dels kvalitativa intervjuer. Undersökningen genomfördes i en klass som går sitt åttonde år i grundskolan. Observationerna gjordes under en dag och dessa följdes upp med intervjuer av tre lärare och tolv elever.

Syftet med vårt examensarbete har varit att fördjupa oss i arbetssättet vid en bedömning av praktiska moment genom att jämföra två gymnasiala skolor med inriktning frisör. Med kvalitativa intervjuer av tio frisörlärare samt kvantitativa enkäter till etthundrafemton elever har vi fått fram deras erfarenheter om kunskap i bedömning. En djupare bild av arbetssätet på de två skolorna kom fram genom att en observation gjordes. En lärare från vardera skolan fick bedöma ett praktiskt moment. Våra intervjuresultat visar att det förekommer skillnader i arbetssätet vid bedömning av praktiska moment.

 Denna uppsats handlar om huruvida det har skett en förändring i svenskans adjektivkomparation under de senaste årtiondena. Undersökningen består av två moment. I moment ett har jag jämfört korpusarna Talbanken, som innehåller presstexter från 1960-talet och 1970-talet, och SUC (Stockholm-Umeå Corpus), som innehåller presstexter från 1990-talet, med fokus på förekomsten av suffixkomparation och perifrastisk komparation. Moment två har bestått av att undersöka hur 50 utvalda adjektiv kompareras i Språkbankens konkordanser Press 65 och Press 98. Resultaten av undersökningen visar att den perifrastiska komparationen har ökat i användning, men även att suffixkomparation har ökat bland vissa adjektiv.
