AbstractThe purpose of this essay is to increase the knowledge of which strategies students with reading and writing disabilities or dyslexia use to learn in secondary school. The study aims to examine the following questions:Which coping strategies do students with reading and writing disabilities use in their studies?How can remedial teachers support students with reading and writing disabilities in their learning process?The study consists of two interviews with a total of three hours recorded material made with a secondary school teacher who teaches Swedish and English. The teacher has experiences of reading and writing disabilities herself but also from teaching students with dyslexia. The interviews are constructed into a lifestory describing experiences of reading and writing disabilities in school, during teacher training and as a teacher.

To read and understand are essential competences for everyone in our society; at the same time reading comprehension among Swedish pupils is on the decline. The Swedish school must therefore try to improve their instructions to increase the students' reading comprehension. The aim of the study was to describe how three reading comprehension strategies, if possible, could improve the reading comprehension for the students, including children with learning disabilities, when reading texts of natural science in a third-grade class. The three strategies that were introduced were: to activate prior knowledge, to structure information and to record contents. The questions of the study were: How are the three strategies introduced in the classroom? Can the children with learning disabilities see any benefits for their reading comprehension when working with the strategies? How do the children with learning disabilities experience working with the strategies? Can the teacher see any benefits when working with the strategies? Is it possible to see any differences among the students' results, before and after completed intervention? Method: The results have been collected through observations and qualitative interviews, which make this a qualitative study.

I detta arbete undersöker jag om kost, sömn och motion påverkar elevers vakenhet i skolan. Litteraturgenomgången behandlar aktuella rön kring näringslära, sömn, motion, riktlinjer för skolmat och skolfrukostförsök. Även Linköpings kommuns roll i skolmatfrågan behandlas. I en enkätundersökning bland 35 sjätteklassare kartläggs deras mat, sömn och motionsvanor under fyra dagar. Resultatet behandlas i en enkätanalys, där det framgår att kost och motion kan påverka elevernas vakenhet i skolan.

Detta examensarbete ifrågasätter om motion och hälsa kan sägas vara en social förmån. Avsikten har varit att undersöka barns attityd, motionsvanor och fritidssysselsättning med avseende på skillnader i deras boende. Min litteraturgenomgång omfattar såväl människors behov av motion i det dagliga livet som samhällets direktiv beträffande fysisk fostran uttryckt i tidigare och gällande läroplaner.För att få svar på mina uppställda frågor har jag genomfört en enkät på tre skolor som ligger i olika socialt ansedda områden. Min enkätundersökning är inte stor nog för att kunna ge några generaliserbara svar. Men vad jag kan se är tendenser som överensstämmer med tidigare forskning kring idrott och sociala skillnader.Forskarna slår larm om en allt sämre hälsa medan politikerna ser till att skära ned på idrotten..

In my composition, I have choosen to examine the question: What value does the diagnoses have for the teacher when it comes to organizing the work with children troubled by apprehensive disabilities?The method I used to examine my question was qualitative interview.The teachers? I have interviewed are either pre-schoolteachers or schoolteachers.Most of the teachers speak highly of using methods like Komet or SET in the work with the pupils troubled by deficits in their ability to concentrate.During my investigation, I have learned that the teachers think that methods like the above mentioned may help preventing some of the problems at school.Former research as well as the interviewed teachers are saying that rules and structure are very important when you are teaching children troubled by deficits in their ability to concentrate.The teachers are feeling just like me, a little bit insecure when it comes to the diagnoses and most of the time the diagnoses just confirm what the teacher already knows.My intention with this study was to aquire a deeper understanding of what it means to have concentration disabilities and to broaden my knowledge of what the teacher can do to ease the years at school for these children.Keywords: Concentration disabilities, teachers, diagnose, educational planning.

The aim of this study is to illuminate images and discourses, in which media describe people with disabilities. The purpose of the study will be fulfilled, by answering the following questions: Is it possible to discern categories of how people with disabilities are described in the media and is it possible to find associations to handicap models? We have chosen to focus on how media describe people with physical impairments and have made a content analyses of articles, based on the theoretic aim of this study, social constructionism, handicap models and earlier research. Underlying the analyses, are six articles from two Swedish news papers. The results of our research are divided in three categories: assumptions which are taken for granted, hidden meanings and contradicted categories.

Studies show that visual elements in store have a great impact on consumers. Of all the impressions that the brain receives the visual impressions count for 83 %. One of the visual elements that retailers can use in-store to influence consumers is signs. Today, there are a lot of studies on regular signs but this is very limited when it comes to motion displays. Motion displays are signs printed on electronic paper with animated messages.

The cultural policy area has a tendency to be seen as a consensus area, where there are no big conflicts between the parties. The aim of this master?s thesis is to study the moderate party?s cultural motion 2005/06Kr:233 with the party leader Fredrik Reinfeldt as first author. If consensus rules, the party?s ideology should not be visible in the motion, but the assumption in the thesis is that it is visible.

Studiens syfte var att granska om i vilken utsträckning skolan tillgodoser elevers behov av undervisning gällande kost, motion och hälsa. Resultatet pekar på att skolan har goda intentioner men begränsade möjligheter att nå upp till Lpo 94: s krav på att elever utövar någon form av fysisk aktivitet varje dag. Vidare visar resultaten att skolan har svårigheter att kunna undervisa de yngre åldrarna, i kost och hälsa på ett tillfredställande sätt, då lärarna upplever det som svårt att hitta bra material på grund av skolans otillräckliga budget. Konsekvenser för detta utmynnar i att skolor har svårt att efterleva intentionerna i Lpo 94.

This paper investigates the grammatical construction intransitive motionconstruction with GOAL as it is used in Swedish (Swe. intransitivrörelsekonstruktion med MÅL).I examine in which ways the construction is productive, i.e. thepossibility to use the construction with new verbs as well as withordinary motion verbs with new functions. The notion of productivity isbased on the construction?s type frequency and semantic openness(Goldberg 1995, 2006; Barðdal 2008; Bybee 2010).

The education in Swedish schools today should be for all children. This means that even if a pupil has reading and writing disabilities the education should be in the classroom with the rest of the pupils. The education should include every one.The aim of my study was to investigate the education with pupils that have reading and writing disabilities. I wanted to get a deeper knowledge about working methods that are used for pupils with these problems.In my study I have used qualitative research methods. I have used group interviews and observational studies.
