Denna uppsats behandlar Steven Spielbergs film Schindlers list med utgångspunkt i de historiedidaktiska begreppen historiemedvetande och historiebruk. Arbetet baseras således på en analys av filmen. Utslaget av denna analys har blivit en diskussion kring dels specifika scener, dels hur filmen i sin helhet ger uttryck för historiebruk och på vad sätt ett historiemedvetande kan stimuleras. Av vikt har även varit att framhålla på vilket sätt filmen som narrativ kan stimulera ett historiemedvetande. Uppsatsen gör en ansats till att koppla samman de ovannämnda historiedidaktiska begreppen då historiebruk, vilket kan förstås som hur man använder sig av historia, påverkar ett historiemedvetande beroende på vad och hur den väljer att framställa det förflutna.

In light of the European Union`s 2012 theme year: Active aging and solidarity between generations I wished to gain an understanding of weather elderly immigrant are provided with equal possibilities and access to local community information as the majority population and their participation in activities arranged for senior citizens in the municipality where they live. I have done this by meeting with those who work in this capacity. I also chose to meet with representatives for immigrant organizations in the local community to enquire of their work with senior citizens within their own ethnic group. This is a qualitative study on a phenomenological ground based on nine interviews and four observations. I have had two theories to help me analyze my empirical material.

Who has the ownership of a company´s long-term strategy, and who should have it? Is it the board of directors or the senior management? Swedish law and regulations seemingly point in one direction, whereas the findings of studying the relationship between CEO and chairman of the board in eleven Swedish listed large- and mid-cap companies, point the other way. In a majority of the companies the senior management have the ownership of the long term strategy whilst the board of directors merely hold a control function. The possible effects on the companies managed as well as the rules and regulations they are managed according to, are analyzed..

Religionsämnet har genomgått stora förändringar de senaste 100 åren, från att ha varit ett konfessionellt kristendomsämne till att ha blivit ett ämne präglat av förståelse för andras kulturer och livsåskådningar samt etik. Ämnet väcker många reaktioner och elever i gymnasieskolan har många åsikter kring ämnets innehåll och nytta. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur ämnet har förändrats genom att studera olika kursplaner. Vad som påverkat dessa förändringar kommer också att granskas. Att ta reda på hur dagens gymnasieelever ser på religionsämnet är också en del av denna studie.

To self-archive is to make research publications freely accessible by depositing them in an open digital archive or on a public website. The aim of this thesis is to explore what Swedish scientists think of self-archiving, what they know about it and how they make use of it, in order to understand why they do not self-archive more actively.A web survey was conducted which was answered by 296 scientists at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU). Results show that only 24 % have previous experience of self-archiving, but that a majority is willing to self-archive if there are no legal objections or if it is demanded by the research funder. The most important reasons why many scientists do not self-archive are that they feel uncertain about copyright issues and/or lack knowledge about self-archiving..

The point of interest in this study is to identify whether ethnicity is a correlating factor regarding Hungarian immigrants? development of identity in Sweden. The general aim is to increase knowledge and understanding of the conditions for the Hungarian ethnical group in Sweden to reach self-realization. The main question is whether the general view of the background of this ethnical group has a connection to their self-realization in Sweden? Since the study involves a whole group of minority, a limitation has been made to adults living in the city of Halmstad, Sweden.

Syftet med den här uppsatsen har varit att arbeta fram ett upplägg för hur man kan arbeta tvärvetenskapligt mellan biologi A och religionskunskap A. Vårt mål har inte varit att tvinga fram ett samarbete mellan de båda kurserna, istället har vi utgått ifrån tanken att tvärvetenskapligt arbete enbart är gynnsamt då det finns naturliga överlappningar mellan ämnena. Med hjälp av en ingående litteraturstudie har vi samlat in fakta på vilken vi baserar vårt kursupplägg. I kursupplägget visar vi på hur ett samarbete skulle kunna gå till när man i biologi behandlar genetik och evolution och i religionskunskap behandlar etik och moral samt de fem världsreligionerna. Vi fann att stora delar av kursmålen för de båda kurserna uppfylls av vårt tänkta upplägg, trots att upplägget inte sträcker sig över hela kurserna.

Corporate spending on information technology is persistently increasing and a majority of companies are currently employing an intranet. Intranets have implications for internal communication but are also instruments for the dissemination of corporate culture. Existing research on intranets and corporate culture is limited to Swedish organizations within the industrial or IT-sector and to foreign companies. The purpose of this study is to understand how or if corporate culture can be embedded into an intranet. Specifically, this study addresses the research question: How is corporate culture communicated via an intranet in a Swedish service-sector company? We perform a qualitative case study and find that communication on intranets is still characterized by a traditional top down approach.

The use of history is the concept of people using and analyzing history in the society for various purposes. Study in this area has largely emerged because there are many different reasons for people and societies to be interested in history. To investigate the use of history, a historical material needs to be present in some form. With this study, I intend to show how older tourist guidebooks can provide such materials of study and therefore I use travel guidebooks about Tallinn released under the USSR (Estonian SSR) between the years 1960 to 1990. The analysis is based on Klas-Go?ran Karlsson's (Professor of History) typology of seven different uses of history: scientific, existential, moral, ideological, political, educational, non-use of history and a commercial use of history.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur undervisning i moralfilosofi kan se ut på gymnasiet. Kursplaner och läromedel i filosofi har undersökts. Fyra lärare har i intervjuer gett sin bild av den undervisning i moralfilosofi som de bedriver. Kursplanerna ger varje lärare stor frihet att avgöra vilka teorier som ska diskuteras på lektionerna i filosofi. I uppsatsen diskuteras skillnaden mellan principetik och agentetik. Den första klassificeras ibland som manlig moral, och den senare som kvinnlig.

In this diploma work we present the results from a study of how adult immigrants utilise the services provided by the public library in Biskopsgården, Gothenburg. A survey encompassing 51 library visitors of foreign origin and an interview with two librarians at the library were performed.The results from the survey show that the majority of the informants were male students inages from 26 to 45 years and that they had been living in Sweden for a maximum of five years. 73% of the informants used the library to borrow literature in Swedish, 53% to read newspapers and periodicals in their native language, 43% to borrow literature in their native language and 43% to read newspapers and periodicals in Swedish.These results were compared with two other related studies with which partial correspondencewas found. In addition, related topics such as multicultural librarianship and the psychological aspects of immigration are discussed..

Syftet med detta fördjupningsarbete är att försöka ge klarhet på några vanliga argument för respektive mot dödsstraffet. Vi vill öka vår kunskap inom detta område för att om möjligt möjliggöra ett ställningstagande gjort utifrån empiriska studier snarare än antaganden. I det inledande kapitlet beskriver vi dödsstraffet genom historiens gång. Vi tar även upp FN:s och Europakonventionens arbete att stoppa nyttjandet av denna straffpåföljd. Vi har sammanställt vårt resultat genom att fördjupa oss i dels fyra facklitterära böcker med olika inställningar till dödsstraffet, dels genom en Brå-rapport samt Amnesty internationell.

The debate about affirmative action for ethnic minorities in countries with another majority culture is growing bigger in many parts of the world. However, it is often the debate misses the aborigines within the countries? borders. The aim of this paper is to investigate the possible conflict in opinions for xenophobic political parties when managing an aborigine population. I will use a qualitative method to study the ethnic minority Sámi in Sweden, Norway and Finland, and afterwards xenophobic parties view on them.To reach a result will I present a scale over Xenophobia ? Cosmopolitanism, which is described as a political cleavage.

Sara Lidman?s second novel Hjortronlandet (1955) unfolds in the north of Sweden in the early 20th century. It describes the progress of modernity and the conflicting interests of an old local culture and a new more ?civilised? one. The two cultures are constituted by different value systems and in the novel they are represented by two neighbour communities.

In recent years, the digitalization and media convergence has increased, which has made the market for public service- medias more competitive. Perhaps this is why public service has chosen to communicate with recipients outside their own channels.The purpose of this quantitative study is to find out how students attitudes looks towards the fact that public service are performing marketing communication. To find out, we conducted a survey, as 256 students of Linnaeus University in Kalmar answered. Together with the study we have used different theoretical references in order to analyse the responses from the survey, and obtain our conclusions.By analysing the empirical material we came to the conclusion that the majority are in favour of public service performing communication outside its own channels. But we also noticed that the communication needs to be in a certain way for the students to be positive.
