This study is about how changed light conditions induce dormancy in plants. It is divided in two parts. First a literature study where quantification of light, the concept dormancy, photoperiod and light quality are discussed. Second an experimental part, where the importance of light for sprouting capacity in root buds of perennial sow thistle (Sonchus arvensis L.) is investigated.In the science in how flowering in plants are induced the concepts short day/long day plants and light dominant/dark dominant are well-established. These concepts can also be applied to how light induce dormancy in plants.

This thesis comprises a translation from English to Swedish followed by a commentary. The source text (ST) of the translation consists of the second chapter of Made in America (1998), a popularised language history by Bill Bryson. The commentary includes an analysis of the ST and the target text (TT), as well as a discussion of the translation process as a whole, and of the translation strategies applied in order to solve the translation problems of the ST. The theoretical framework of the thesis is based on Toury?s notion of norms (1995), from which the following principle for translating is conceived: to transfer the ST information as faithfully as possible but with the modifications necessary to accommodate the source language competence level of the TT readers, which is estimated to be relatively low.

Diagnosis of adhd, the cause and consequence. A study about the teachers thought about it.The purpose of this study was to examine teachers experience and views about children diagnosed with adhd, and what implication and effects it gives to the pedagogy strategies in the classroom.This is a qualitative study based on the experience of six teachers from primary school. My results have been compiled and compared to special educational research about adhd, from three different perspectives.The results showed that the teachers who have been working as teachers for a longer period, think that the problems of adhd occur primarily due to environmental causes, but then also say that they think the individual causes matters. It is also these teachers that talks very well about medication as a treatment to cure adhd symptoms. The teachers who have worked the shortest time, most of them have some special education from the teacher education.

We want to search knowledge in how teachers with a focus on after-school recreation centre estimate how their own competence is used in after- school recreation center and school and what expectations/apprehensions they have on their profession in the future. In our study we have asked teachers with a focus on after-school recreation center how they estimate that their competence has been used in after-school recreation center during the last three years. The method we have used to illustrate this is the Delphi method Nordänger (2009), where we interviewed eight respondents by e-mail. From the responses, we have found that teachers with a focus on after-school recreation center experience that their skills should get more attention in the school. They want to combine care and pedagogy that supports students' physical, intellectual, social and emotional development.

???This research traces the trajectory of those methods of teaching grammar that five different teachers in Swedish from Stockholm municipality use in their practice. ?Their both constructive and negative attitudes towards grammar were in fokus when looking after the connection between their own experience of learning/teaching native language grammar and the methods that they are actually using in their own classes. I was trying to gain knowledge and achieve the purpose of this research by means of a qualitativ method.

AbstractThe purpose of my study is to examine how preschool children experience nature and how the educationalists at the preschool can make nature more exciting and support the children?s personal growth. I have also studied what the educationalists of the preschool do and what they can do to make nature more interesting and playful for the children. Observations and interviews have been conducted at a preschool in a small town. The preschool is situated close to nature, that is, close to a small forested area.

By describing and analyzing a self made composition for the Swedish folk music instrument ?nyckelharpa? with emphasis on playing techique, dissonance treatment and interpretation questions are reflected upon regarding how dissonances and andvanced harmonical progressions are treated on a limited instrument such as ?nyckelharpa?. By emphasizing the traditional norm connected to the interpretation and instrumentation of traditional Swedish folk music (a traditon in which the nyckelharpa is included) and comparing the te- chniques connected to it with the recent composed material in a western classical context the possibilities and limitations in composition and interpretation are further investigated. Thus the musical experience and the documentation of the process of composing a concert for nyckelharpa provides a knowledge base for reflective analysis upon questions regarding interpretation, composition and dissonance treatment. This thesis also provides a brief summary of traditional playing and bowing technique as well as a short historical description of the Swedish traditional instrument ?nyckelharpa?..

Syftet med studien är att klargöra om nyckelhålsmärkningen har betydelse för konsumentens uppfattning och val av produkt, samt belysa förekomsten av källkritiskt tänkande kring nyckelhålsmärkningen. Som metod tillämpades intervjuer på 50 respondenter. Studien indikerar att nyckelhålsmärkningen har en inverkan på både val av produkt samt den generella uppfattningen om hur hälsosam en produkt är. Studien visar även på en slående avsaknad av källkritik då konsumenter utvärderar nyckelhålsprodukter..

Jag har valt tre teman ur värdegrundsboken och jämför vad olika författare anser om dessa tre teman. Skolan kan inte undvika att fostra och socialisera, skolans socialiserande verksamhet innebär att förmedla kultur.Ett konstaterande är att skolans kultur och värdegemenskap förmedlande uppdrag är motsägelsefullt. Uppgiften som skolan har tilldelats av riksdagen är sammansatt av ett beständighets, kontinuitets och ett förändringsuppdrag. Det är tänkt att skolan ska spegla sitt samhälles historia och kultur genom att socialisera sina elever till svenska medborgare, samtidigt ska skolan vara visionär och därmed bana väg för ett framtida samhälle som på bestämda sätt skiljer sig från dagens. Det ställs krav på att personalen ska förmedla kulturellt bestämda värden och upprätta kultur som överensstämmer med dessa värden.

Mot bakgrund av den svenska läroplanens riktlinjer om att ingen i skolan ska utsättas för diskriminering, är syftet med denna uppsats att utföra en kritisk diskursanalys av lärarhandledningsmaterialet Duckface/Stonface utifrån ett intersektionellt perspektiv. Det intersektionella perspektivet syftar till att synliggöra specifika situationer av förtryck som skapas i skärningspunkter av maktrelationer baserade på exempelvis klass, kön, etnicitet och sexualitet. Som metod används kritisk diskursanalys utifrån Faircloughs tredimensionella analysmodell. Resultatet visar bland annat att det i materialet finns en social praktik där binära könsidentiteter är norm samt att tjejer och killar är olika. Materialet genomsyras också av en vithetsnorm.

The main purpose of this Master?s thesis is to investigate the experience of art students and their attitudes and use of information during the last years of their Master?s degree. I also examine their opinions about the art education in general. The theoretical framework encompasses a sociocultural approach within the field of psychology-pedagogy and library- as well as information science. The empirical material has been collected through qualitative interviews with seven students studying at an art school in Sweden.

My work is based on a text analysis of media production of the female offender. I found it interesting how women were presented as victims rather than perpetrators. The media have in recent years grown tremendously and this also impacts on people and what is important. The notion of how a woman should be and how a female offender should be is extreme. The material for my work is articles found on the Internet in daily newspapers websites.

Studien syftar till att försöka finna de uppfattningar som låg- och mellanstadielärare uppvisar i samband med läxan som fenomen. Vi har genomfört en kvalitativ studie med semistrukturerade intervjuer. Intervjuerna har analyserats utifrån Hellstens (1997) sju konnotationer av begreppet läxan. Dessa är förberedelse, tidstruktur, kontroll och styrning, kärlek och omsorg, identitet och status, gemenskap och kontakt samt arbetsprestation. Vi fann att lärarnas syn på fenomenet läxan stämde väl överens med dessa sju redovisade funktioner.

The object of the essay was to investigate the argumentation in the bill, the comments from unions and the authorities, among others and the motions concerning the bill. To analysis this argumentation I have been using feminist theory, specifically Carole Lee Bacchis ?What?s the problem?-aproach. I also used Maud Eduards and Diane Sainsbury to complete my theory. They describe men as the norm of the society and women as deviant.

Studiens syfte var att undersöka förekomsten av mobbning och sexuella trakasserier vid ett industriföretag. 330 kollektivanställda och tjänstemän vid Företaget besvarade en enkät där de ombads ange i vilken utsträckning de utsatts för kränkande beteenden samt uppge vilken arbetsrelation de hade till de som utsatt dem för handlingarna. Resultaten påvisade samband mellan förekomsten av mobbning och sexuella trakasserier. Kön, ålder och anställningsform hade betydelse för i vilken utsträckning sexuella trakasserier upplevdes. Anställningsform hade även betydelse för vem som angavs som förövare av kränkningarna.
