The purpose of this paper has been to shed light on the ways the history represented at the City Museum of Stockholm can be used in education at the Gymnasia level. I have made use of the following set of questions to attain this purpose: 1) How is the City Museum's activity vis-á-vis the gymnasia organized and what is the purpose of this activity? 2) What positive results do the interviewees see in the collaboration between the schools and the Museum? 3) Why did the teachers represented in this paper choose to make use of the Museum in their education? The bulk of the study is based upon three interviews with the First Curator at the City Museum of Stockholm and two teachers, from Viola Gymnasiet and Skogsgårds Gymnasiet respectively. My method is qualitative and interpretative with hermeneutic features.In my interpretation of the source material I have made use of historian Klas-Göran Karlsson's classifications regarding the needs for various forms of history, use of history, users and functions of results. In this way I have been able to establish how the Museum and the teachers represented in the study make use of the history that is represented at the Museum.

Background and research problem: The former highly inflationary property market is currently undergoing a stagnation process. Investors have been used to annual growth figures in double digits,but now this is no longer considered to be a realistic outlook for future years. According to a report from PriceWaterhouseCoopers and Urban Land Institute, published by Avanza Wealth Management,the three most attractive markets for property investment in Europe are London, Paris and Stockholm. Because of this the authors have focused their investigation on two companies in the London andStockholm. The authors will additionally use an international bank, an estate agent and a consultancy firm for further information, with regards to the property market and risks associated with these typesof investment in particular.

SammanfattningSyfte Studiens syfte är att undersöka friluftsundervisningen i grundskolor med friluftsprofil i Oslo och Stockholm, samt jämföra dessa.Vilken eller vilka stilar av friluftsliv förekommer inom idrottsämnet i friluftsprofilerade grundskolor i Oslos kommun?Vilken eller vilka stilar av friluftsliv förekommer inom idrottsämnet i friluftsprofilerade grundskolor i Stockholms kommun?Vad kan vi se för likheter eller skillnader mellan skolorna i Oslo och Stockholm?Kort sammanfattning av Sandells friluftsstilar:Passiv anpassnignsstil: friluftsliv utifrån ett anpassat betraktande perspektiv utan att påverka naturen.Aktiv anpassningsstil: friluftsliv utifrån ett aktivt perspektiv där du lever av naturen och tar vad du behöver samtidigt som man värnar om naturen.Dominant anpasssningsstil: friluftsliv utifrån ett aktivitetscentrerat perspektiv där ofta kommersialism styr för att påverka och anpassa naturen för att ge rum för specifik aktivitet.MetodAnvänd metod är öppet strukturerade telefonintervjuer. Sex stycken idrottslärare, tre i Oslo och tre i Stockholm intervjuades varav två var kvinnor och fyra var män. Samtliga var utbildade till idrottslärare eller lärare med undevisning inom friluftsliv.ResultatAlla stilar förekommer i Oslo. I Stockholm råder tveksamhet kring den dominansstilen.

Vi har uppmärksammat att användandet av butiksklassificeringar i form av flaggskepps- och konceptbutiker har ökat de senaste åren. Fler och fler svenska varumärkesleverantörer kommunicerar nu aktivt ut vilken av deras butiker som är flaggskepps- respektive konceptbutiken. Dessutom har vi uppmärksammat till att den klusterbildning som delat upp Stockholm blir tydligare och tydligare - flaggskeppsbutiker i området kring Bibliotekstan och konceptbutiker på Södermalm. ?? Med dessa utgångspunkter har vi undersökt hur två svenska modeföretag av olika storlek, Acne och The Local Firm, arbetar med dessa butikstyper.

In search of a stage language that resonates in historical disciplines, I have explored the possibility to expand my performing arts through the language of Indian classical Odissi, through different forms of storytelling. In my work I have focused primarily on two projects inspired by the original scripts of Macbeth by William Shakespeare and Breaking Bad by Vince Gilligan. I have outlined examples of methods and techniques used in the process.The work also shows how Odissi has evolved from a religious and philosophical tradition of temple dance; into modern stage theatre performance.The work aims to connect Odissi with western performing art. In this process I have been using my own knowledge about Odissi as a tool in combining both the traditions, a fusion in action.I will physically examine the artistic idiom, the characteristics, the actions and deeds found in stylized Odissi imagery and symbols, traditionally used to embody mythological and epic stories. A rendezvous between East and West.

In Sweden today so-called "prescribed nature conservation burning" is performed due to the change in silvicultural law, certification and an increased knowledge regarding the field of fire in the forest landscape. The aim is to re-create structures and qualities made by the fire regimes of the past, though on a much smaller geographical scale. The structures and qualities to be re-created are for example broad leaf stands, trees with large diameter, heterogeneous stands regarding variables such as age and diameter. If we increase our knowledge of the constitution of forests characterized by fire, then we will be able to set goals for what achievements to reach both on landscape scale and stand scale. The aim of this paper is to try to describe how a stand from the past was composed regarding mainly the spatial arrangement and compare it with the stand of today in the same place. This to be done by using relict material, that is stumps and dead standing trees.

This thesis aims at analyzing why the municipality of Flen, in the eastern part of Sweden, has experienced strong depopulation for the last forty years in spite of its relative vicinity to Stockholm. The study uses current theories on regional developement, population theory and theories on regional enlargment to help explain and to evaluate the different regional factors that affect the developement of Flen on the local level. The thesis is primarily focused on the subject of regional policy and strategies to meet regional depopulation. The study also gives a presentation of the strategies of major regional institutions as well as analyzing what impact regional policy have on local policy in the municipality of Flen.Interviews with local officials, politicians and other people representing the population of Flen were carried out to achieve a better understanding of the specific challenges that the municipality faces and of the measures that are taken to meet them. Regional policy in Sweden prioritises measures that promote regional enlargment to link the housing and labour markets together with the regional infrastructure.

The effect of climate change places demands on how we build cities. Cities have to be built denser to meet the objectives of sustainability but as a result of this densification city green areas are at risk of exploitationand disappearing. The question this raises is whether there has to be an opposition between a dense and a green city?Urban trees are playing a very important role in cities. They stand as the major part of the vegetation in citieswhich are otherwise dominated with concrete and stone.

?I de ljusa hassellundarna utanför min trädgård, har himlen rasat ner och färgat jorden blå. Tusentals och åter tusentals blåsippor har just slagit ut i en värld som fyllts av hasselhängen.? (Sarenström, 1999, s. 28) Den första växtlighet som blommor men även den sista som blommar innan snön kommer är geofyter, lök- och knölväxter.

Denna uppsats redogör för en studie med syftet att undersöka dialektbruk, dialektattityder samt vilken betydelse dialekten har för identiteten hos gymnasieelever.  Undersökning baseras på två informantgrupper från Gotland och Stockholm som dels genomfört en enkätundersökning, dels deltagit i gruppintervjuer. Resultatet visar att en majoritet av eleverna anser att de talar dialekt och är positiva till dialekternas existens och det är fler flickor som anser sig tala dialekt än pojkar. Det egna sättet att tala har en stark koppling till identiteten framför allt för ungdomarna på Gotland. Dock visar studien att standardspråkets prestige är betydande för båda informantgrupperna.

Concept - detail - buildingStockholm International Fairs, new main entrance I studied at the KTH School of Architecture from 1995 to 2000. After completing my studies I wanted to work in an office that had a structural way of thinking and that knew the building process; I therefore chose to work for Rosenberg Architects. I have worked on a number of projects, among them several for the Stockholm International Fairs, from the Rica Talk Hotel and Hall AE, to the new main entrance.In the projects we undertook at the School of Architecture we had to identify and draw details that were central to our concepts. I have here identified some key details that we considered to be essential for the concept in a built project; the new main entrance of the Stockholm International Fairs completed in 2013. The entrance has complex logistics with multiple intersecting flows: exhibitors, employees, journalists, VIPs and others.

Croatia became an independent country 1991 and has since then strived to reach a democracy level, which can lead to membership of the European Union. The purpose of this essay is on the basis of consolidate democratic perspective to illustrate Croatia?s democratic development.In order to fulfil the aim, I have applied a qualitative text analysis technique. Through analysis of books and documents, data was collected to accommodate a valid result. I have used consolidated democracy, with its five areas (political, civil, economic, legal and bureaucratic), as my theoretical framework to the data, to provide answers and develop an analysis.The conclusions show that the consolidate democracy in Croatia has developed a lot since the independence, and Croatia is on its good way to turn into a democratic state like other West-European countries.

AbstraktTitel: ?Jag tänkte bara: ?Inte här, inte här, inte här?? - En kvalitativ studie om upplevelsen av självmordsbombningen i Stockholm 2010Författare: Irene Danielsson och Sandra WågerKurs: Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap CTermin: Våren 2011Handledare: Ulrika OlaussonSyfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka om och hur publiken minns, känner och påverkas av självmordsbombningen i Stockholm i december 2010 samt vilken roll medierna har spelat för formandet av respondenternas uppfattningar.Metod: Kvalitativ metod, fokusgruppsintervjuerTeorier: Fruktanskultur, terrorism kopplat till religion och ?vi och dom?.Huvudresultat: Respondenternas tolkningar och upplevelser av händelsen låter sig inte summeras på något enkelt sätt, men fem av de mest förekommande känslouttrycken var: ?Oro/rädsla?, ?Medkänsla/sympati?, ?Distansering/likgiltighet?, ?Ilska? och ?Lättnad?. Resultatet visar att det skapas ett ?vi och dom? genom att respondenterna sätter in sig själva i sammanhanget ?nationen Sverige? där det egna landet beskrivs som tryggt, gulligt och oskyldigt. På samma sätt tar de avstånd från ett utländskt ?dem? och de inbillade egenskaper som kommer med dem.
