This study aims to research how digital media can be used for communication and information management between teachers at preschools and children?s homes. To get an understanding of this we have investigated which channels are being used and for what purposes. The interest has also been to explore preschool teachers and caregivers? attitudes towards digital communication in preschools.A qualitative case study of comparative nature has been conducted, where two preschools were selected because of their use and non-use of digital media for communication with caregivers.

Uppsatsen kommer att avhandla ledningsförhållandet under Karl XII:s fälttåg i Norge 1718. Syftet med uppsatsen äratt pröva det historiska händelseförloppet kring anfallet mot Trondheim utifrån hur vi idag uppfattar uppdragstaktikoch påvisa förekomst av denna. Min hypotes är att de bärande tankarna i uppdragstaktik inte är ett sentida fenomen. Iuppsatsen kommer jag att söka svar på följande frågeställningar.- Var Karl XII en delegerande eller centralstyrande militär chef under den Jämtländska arméns anfall motTrondheim 1718?- Finns det spår i Karl XII:s ledning av Armfeldts armé av det vi idag kallar uppdragstaktik?Uppsatsen teoretiska utgångspunkt är uppdragstaktik som den beskrivs i den svenska militärstrategiska doktrinenfrån år 2002.

In Lake Vänern, Sweden, there is an endemic population of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) that lives its entire life in fresh water. The salmon is hindered from migrating to its natural spawning sites in the northern part of the River Klarälven by nine hydro-electric power plants. None of the hydro-electric power plants have fishways so that salmon migrating upstream or downstream may pass. In the current situation, the upward migrating salmon are caught in a fish trap at the most downstream located power plant in Forshaga. From there, the salmon are driven in a truck, past eight power plants and released a few kilometers upstream of the eighth power plant at Edsforsen.

The area of Järvafältet in the northern parts of Stockholm is one of the many large-scale investments into Swedish residency executed in the 60?s and 70?s, and which got the name Miljonprogrammet. Not until today these buildings have been restored, and frustration has been brewing in these areas for some time. Järvadialogen is the name of a communication program connected to the housing restoration in the area of Husby, which is a part of Järvafältet, and functions as a promotional and informational dialogue between residents in the area and those responsible for the communication program. The cultural diversity in the area of Husby is significant, and with theories on intercultural communication, change communication and power we study the performed communicative process and the manner in which it is received.

The purpose was to investigate whether using two type of interventions (i.e., Four rooms of change in school and EQ- workshop) in addition to curriculum guidelines can affect character development in children 10-12 years of age. The data was collected using the test Junior Temperament and Character Inventory (J-TCI; Cloninger, CR, 1994) in three elementary schools among students in fifth grade who had been involved in any of the two interventions for the past two years or no intervention at all.The J-TCI scales were used to, besides the seven personality dimension it measures, create a self-constructed empathy scale. A total of 55 participants were included in the study (girls n = 26 and boys n = 29). Statistical testing with MANOVA showed no significant main effect on empathy or any personality trait. There was however an interaction effect between intervention and gender on the character traits.

Ship formed monuments from the Late Bronze Age on the island of O?land, southeast Sweden, have never been thoroughly dealt with in previous research, despite the fact that the region is suggested to have had a key-role in maritime trade networks. This thesis aims to address the ship formed monuments on O?land in relationship to the monuments in northern Sma?land and the island of Gotland. My goal is to discuss how the ship symbolism was practised during the Late Bronze Age in Scandinavia from a new perspective.

Sedan början på 1900-talet har tekniken med vingförsedda stolpar utvecklats och använts till olika föremål och ändamål. För tre år sedan grundades svenska företaget Vingfundament Terrawing AB utav Roland Johansson och Johnny Mattsson. De utvecklar och tillverkar vingfundament för mindre konstruktioner som t.ex. vägskyltar och bullerskärmar. Peab i Växjö har på ett projekt i Skåne på Revingehed använt sig utav vingfundament då de grundlagt huskulisser, detta är ett av de större projekten som utförts med just vingfundament.

Varje dag insjuknar mellan femton till tjugo kvinnor i bröstcancer i Sverige. På senare år har det skett en ökning av sjukdomen som forskarna ännu inte vet orsaken till. För varje kvinna som drabbas av bröstcancer innebär det en total förändring av hennes liv. För vårdpersonal som möter dessa kvinnor är det viktigt att tänka på att kvinnorna vanligtvis befinner sig i någon krisreaktion. Under mötet är kommunikationen grundläggande för förståelsen mellan människor.

Syftet med vårt examensarbete har varit att fördjupa oss i arbetssättet vid en bedömning av praktiska moment genom att jämföra två gymnasiala skolor med inriktning frisör. Med kvalitativa intervjuer av tio frisörlärare samt kvantitativa enkäter till etthundrafemton elever har vi fått fram deras erfarenheter om kunskap i bedömning. En djupare bild av arbetssätet på de två skolorna kom fram genom att en observation gjordes. En lärare från vardera skolan fick bedöma ett praktiskt moment. Våra intervjuresultat visar att det förekommer skillnader i arbetssätet vid bedömning av praktiska moment.

Climate on earth is getting warmer, which effects earth?s energy balance and so forth the ocean and atmospheric circulation.  In many sub-polar regions on the northern hemisphere changes due to warming of the climate can be observed. Some examples that already have been observed are shifts in tree line, towards higher altitudes and latitudes, increased ablation of Swedish glaciers and melting of the permafrost on the Siberian tundra. In Sweden climate change scenarios tell us that it will become warmer and that a higher amount of precipitation in form of rain will be an effect from this. To study climate changes in Sweden, transition zones are useful in order to observe changes in distribution of species and animal populations.

Protracted social conflicts, as those in Cyprus and Northern Ireland, are based on deep rooted perceptions of identity and definitions of "the other". According to the theory of discursive conflict transformation, war is primarily a social phenomenon, which is legitimated by a discourse of identity defined in terms of exclusionist boundaries and structural ideas of the social relations in society. In order to develop positive peace, the discourse of violence has to be challenged and the discursive structures that enable war have to transform into a counterdiscourse of inclusion and individuality. For the purpose of making a critical peace analysis, I have, with the assistance of established conflict theories, analysed the basic ideas behind the the Annan Plan and the Belfast Agreement and thus been able to interpret to what extent they may foster positive peace. I argue, that in order to provide basic needs on a group basis, power sharing arrangement, based on ethnicity or religion, exacerbates division rather than ameliorating it.

This bachelor thesis explores the conditions for a harmonized EU gender equality policy. Recently the maternity leave directive has been introduced by the European commission and seeks to improve the conditions for pregnant workers. The controversial subject of this maternity leave has illustrated many of the problems connected to the development of a social dimension in EU. First of all, the debate concerning the maternity leave directive in the European Parliament has shown that both sides in the parliament seem positive towards creating legislation in this matter on EU level. However, parties at the right tend to disagree to many of the amendments in the proposal, such as the maximum entitlement.

The aim of this thesis is to examine how four decision makers at a University College and a library director at the same University College perceive the profile, image and identity of their library. This University College library is used as our main example. We have evaluated the main example in relation to two other University College libraries, in order to obtain a deeper understanding of how these library directors view their own libraries and to attain a more multi-dimensional view of the main example of our study. Our intention is to analyse the current situation, not the past nor the future. Qualitative semi-structured interviews with decision makers and library directors have been conducted.
