Our thesis is an analysis of four librarians view on LGBTQ and which implications these views have on the practical work with LGBTQ issues in the public library. The three ideal types we can identify are the excluding, the including, and the normcritical approach. We also want to know if the four librarians? standpoints can be connected to the above mentioned ideal types. We can see that the area where the implementations of the three ideal types are most visible is the way LGBTQ material is displayed in the library space.

Modebloggar ses oftast som en positiv källa till information och inspiration. Unga tjejer är de mest frekventa bloggläsarna och enligt tidigare forskning har bloggläsande en central betydelse för uppbyggnaden av unga kvinnors identitet. Syftet med studien är att undersöka vilka riktlinjer för identitetsskapande som modebloggarna ger samt på vilket sätt modebloggarna vägleder individen till konsumtionssamhället. Metoden utgörs av den kvalitativa innehållsanalysen, vilket syftar på att blottlägga hur medietexter omedvetetreproducerar särskilda dominerande normer och föreställningar. Resultatet visar i stora drag att olika konsumtionsbaserade teman som individualitet, karriär, lycka och effektivitet genomsyrar modebloggarna.

This essay is dealing with the difficulties of cataloging and classifying anonymi and other kinds of literature without the components which have set the norm for bibliographic cataloging, i.e. a defined author, a standardized title etc. A typical example of this kind of literature is folklore and folktales, which are dealt with thoroughly here. The character of and the society's historical view upon the folk literature, as literature considered, are being described, as is the evolution of rules for cataloging in general. The folk literature is mostly systematized after a different pattern from other literature, since bibliographical facts are often missing.

Syftet med studien har varit att undersöka hur kvinnors och mäns livsvillkor gestaltas i den tanzaniska författaren Elieshi Lemas roman Bränd jord - en kärleksroman (2005) utifrån ett genusperspektiv. I fokus har centrala motiv som rör sedvänjor, utbildning, äktenskap, moderskap och faderskap stått. Jag har också undersökt vilka strategier som karaktärerna använder sig av för att påverka sina liv i ett starkt traditionstyngt samhälle. Analysen visar att romanen gestaltar ett genussystem där manligt och kvinnligt inte bör blandas och där mannen är norm. Detta genussystem ligger väl inkapslat i det traditionella levnadssättet, där könsidentiteten för kvinnor och män formas tidigt.

This is a study of the phenomenon enterprise education in a Swedish school. Enterprise education is a rather new concept in Swedish schools, and it has yet to be clearly defined and sufficiently studied. In order to investigate the various aspects of the education properly an analysis of the language used by its proponents needs to be performed. The authors have used discourse analysis from a perspective provided by Laclau and Mouffe. This is for the purpose of determining how the phenomenon is expressed by four teachers in the school mentioned previously.

Syftet med denna studie var att titta på hur flickor på gymnasiet upplever delaktigheten i skolans värld och vilka förväntningar de känner att de har både från sig själva och från sina lärare. Två gruppintervjuer, med 6 respektive 8 flickor i varje grupp, och en heldagsobservation genomfördes på en gymnasieskola i Mellansverige. Resultatet visar att flickorna själva väljer bort delaktighet i klassrummet för att inte ta plats på någon annans bekostnad och för att inte riskera relationer de har med sina tjejkompisar utanför skolan. Delaktigheten utanför klassrummet blir primär och den under lärarledd lektionstid blir sekundär. Resultatet visar också att lärare upprätthåller heteronormativa strukturer där pojkarna tillåts ta plats på flickornas bekostnad.

Denna studie syftar till att granska hur sociala strukturer påverkar nyanlända elevers skolsituation. I huvudsak handlar det om hur etnicitet, ras och genus processas i skolans vardag. Undersökningen har genomförts med hjälp av kvalitativ metod i form av intervjuer med nyanlända elever och lärare samt observationer på plats i skolan. Resultatet visar att strukturer processas i skolan i form av föreställningar baserade på etnicitet, ras och genus som upprätthåller grupperingar och en rangordning mellan eleverna. Strukturer möter också de nyanlända eleverna i form av en tydlig norm om enspråkighet på bekostnad av att elevernas förstaspråk och tidigare kunskaper osynliggörs och undervärderas.

I denna studie analyseras Folkpartiet liberalernas integrationspolitik utifrån deras motion Egenmakt, arbete och jämlikhet ? Liberal integrationspolitik. Fokus ligger på hur de behandlar utanförskapet och de människor som anses leva i utanförskap. En brännpunkt när utanförskap diskuteras är etnicitet varför detta också ligger i denna undersöknings centrum. Vidare ligger intresset på hur deras liberala ståndpunkter i motionen kommer till uttryck.I analysen av det empiriska materialet använder jag mig av kritisk diskursanalys för att metoden inte uppfattar sig själv som politiskt neutral och är politiskt engagerad i social förändring, vilket jag finner väsentligt i en undersökning av ett politiskt dokument som säger sig eftersträva lika rättigheter och lika möjligheter och som riktar sig till alla människor som lever i utanförskap.

The Nasometer is a non-invasive acoustic measuring instrument that quantifies the ratio ofnasal resonance in speech. It can be used as a complement to perceptual judgment of speech impediments, for example, in patients with cleft palate and velopharyngeal insufficiency. Inorder to determine if a nasalance score is abnormal, it must be compared to norm data. The main purpose of the study was to collect reference nasalance scores in children between fourand five years of age in Linköping. An additional objective was to compare the results tonorm data collected in Umeå.

This essay examines teaching in source criticism in upper secondary school history education. Two questions are to be answered: 1. What are the conditions like for teaching source criticism? 2. What opportunities for further development in teaching source criticism are there? In order to set a standard for what knowledge and skills in source criticism the students need, I design a four step model for good source criticism based on the historical science.

The visions of the United Nations concerning sustainable development and conservation of biodiversity can only be realized if the human population succeeds in creating coexistence between human and wildlife. Landscape architects are able to influence on how landscapes are to be maintained and developed. The negative impact of infrastructure on wildlife has become a critical problem in Sweden and other parts of Europe. Wildlife crossings has been developed as a solution for the problems of road barriers in the landscape. The crossings are made to give animals a better opportunity to cross roads.

Will the discourse in a country effect the way an event is presented in the media? And will the event be presented in similar ways in different countries? These are the questions my paper aims to answer. By using critical discourse analysis I have analyzed the reporting of the Iraqi War in three big newspapers; one from USA, one from Sweden and one from Great Britain. The results show that the discourse in each country play a big part in how the news get presented in the media, and this is shown in how the news gets reported. The three countries had three different views on the same war.

The purpose of this study is to illustrate how three schools work with special education needs, what they consider is special education needs and what measures they put in for the student to achieve the goals. I will also study how the evaluation and the follow-up of the individualized education program work at the schools.The empirical material consists of all active programs in grades 7, 8 and 9, together with and interviews with special education teachers and the principal at each school. The results are compared with similar previous researches and analysed by two dominant perspectives of school difficulties.The result shows that it is mainly the critical perspective that dominates the individualized education program. The student is the carrier of the problem and is excluded in many cases from the other students in the class. These measures are different compensatory accommodations for the student in order to catch up with other students..

This thesis examines the ideological implications of an emerging shift in human rights-issues regarding information. As Intellectual Property becomes increasingly important to the economy of developed nations previously commonly owned or unprotected information runs a real risk of becoming privatized. The World Trade Organization and its binding agreements GATS and TRIPS are subjected to a critical ideology-analysis, with special efforts to elucidate possible effects on the public service realm and its commitment as provider of free information as a human right. The result suggests that not only does a threat to information as such a right exist, but that its ideological basis however seemingly rooted in a liberal/neoliberal context actually in its express views on information deviates from liberal/neoliberal theory in many ways, and that there are theoretical inconsistencies in that same ideology..

The study's aim is to create an understanding for the question why Sweden in 1921chose to create its own classification system for public libraries instead of adapting e.g.the Dewey-system which - at this time - was internationally we11 spread. It examines thesocial changes which proceeded the creation of the Swedish Library Association (SLA)in 1915 and discusses in depth the work of the committee appointed by SLA to createthe classification system. Special interest is also given to the relation between SLACSand the Dewey-system.The study shows that the main influence on the codttee's work was the formerSwedish tradition of classification practice. The Dewey-system was seen as inappropriateto adapt in the Swedish libraries because of the vast changes that wouldhave to be done, and the fact that the decimal notation was practically unused in anylibraries in Sweden.From a methodological point of view, the study tries to apply a critical hermeneuticalapproach as developed by Paul Ricoeur.The study contains an extended English summary..
