The aim of the study was to test whether or not menstruating women?s levels of haemoglobin changed after three weeks consumption of Blutsaft. Previous studies on nutrition supplements including iron have shown increased haemoglobin levels. On Blutsaft, however, there are no studies carried out and published. The participants in this pilot study were menstruating women, with haemoglobin levels between 105 and 125 g/l at the initial part of the study.

Through participant observation in a local promoter group of hardcore punk shows inGothenburg and qualitative interviews with its members I have investigated links between taste in music, values and social structures in the hardcore punk scene. The theoretical framework of this essay is built upon the concept of subcultural capital, which is adapted from Pierre Bourdieu and developed by Sarah Thornton and Keith Kahn-Harris. The result shows how members among the hardcore punk scene create and preserve distinction towards others, while the distinction becomes important benchmarks for including and excluding practices in the scene..

Denna undersökning avser att belysa klasstorlekens betydelse för karaktären på den verbala kommunikationen mellan eleverna under lektionen, med avseende på om de pratar om undervisningsinnehållet eller ej. Genom en etnografisk observation i en åttondeklass har vi sökt finna specifika situationer i vilka elevernas kommunikation är uppgiftsrelaterad eller inte, samt hur detta kan relateras till klassens storlek. Vi fann tendenser som visade på att den uppgiftsrelaterade kommunikationen ökade i när klassen minskade i antal, samt eleverna lättare återfår koncentrationen i mindre grupper..

The purpose of this study is to examine how some early year pupils define homework, how much homework they get and also how these pupils perceive that they are affected by the homework. The study is qualitative where ten pupils participated in a semi structured interview. The study will show that these pupils are given homework once a week. The homework is mostly math and reading.

Researchers, planners, and government agencies agree that road safety for children must be a priority and in particular that children should have a safe and secure way to travel to and from school regardless of age or the distance travelled. In Sweden, child traffic safety is a key part of the country?s Nollvision, a long-term traffic policy goal of ?no deaths or serious injuries?. Unfortunately, many countries have recorded increases in child traffic accidents as the percentage of parents who drive their children to school and thus congestion around schools has increased. Common strategies include traffic safety education for children, the redesign and improvement of traffic infrastructure, bicycle training, and carpooling.This thesis assesses the traffic problem around Ludvigsberg School in the district Valbo in Gävle, Sweden.

This study aims to highlight and analyze eight secondary teachers' views and thoughts on mathematics. Hopefully this study will provide a deeper understanding of how teachers think and reason about their subject and how this affects their teaching. The study was conducted using a qualitative interview method, based on interviews with eight middle school teachers who teach in school mathematics for grades 6 - 9. The interviews were recorded and then transcribed and analyzed. After the interview analysis one can conclude that the teachers? thoughts concern three main themes: the importance of mathematics, children?s lack of basic knowledge and the teachers? lack of time.In discussion and analysis the teachers conceptions of the own subject is being analyzed, and that is the foundation of this study.

In this study the author attempts to identify factors that are determinants for why some pupils in Swedish grade school have high status in comparison with their peers. The study takes on the characteristics of both an ethnographic and a literature study by comparing the findings of interviews carried out with students of a first grade class with previous research. The study identify several tools for analyzing of how status may be understood in specific situations.The study also finds that important factors for gaining high status amongst children in aschool classes might be the ability to apply access strategies to get accepted in social interactions, such as game play, have the ability to create games that are enjoyed by peers and social skills, to name a few. Overall the study shows that children's game play with each otherare crucial for their social interactions and their social position.

Så länge människan mår bra och har hälsan tar hon livet för givet. Förr i tiden var fysiska ansträngningar ett måste för överlevnadens skull. Vi arbetade från morgon till kväll, stora som små, med tunga sysslor både hemma på gårdarna och ute i arbetslivet. Idag är arbetssysslorna mer stilla sittande och kroppen får inte den rörelse som den är skapt för som i sin tur kan skapa ohälsa. Förr arbetade vi ihjäl oss, idag "vilar" vi oss till döds.

Syftet med mitt examensarbete var att undersöka hur klassrumsorganisationen påverkar koncentrationssvaga elevers arbetsförmåga i matematik- och svenskundervisningen.  Frågeställningarna har behandlat skillnader i förekomsten av koncentrerat arbete mellan ämnenas olika moment, samt utifrån olika arbetsformer. Genom observationer och intervjuer har jag samlat in empirisk data som gett mig underlag för resultatet. Studiens resultat visar att koncentrationssvaga elevers arbetsförmåga påverkas negativt av undervisning som innefattar många rörliga inslag och där de lämnas åt sig själva att komma igång med sina uppgifter. Både observation och intervjuresultaten visar att undervisning i halvklass i jämförelse med i helklass, har en god inverkan på koncentrationssvaga elevers arbetsförmåga, särskilt i matematikundervisningen..

Syftet med studien var att undersöka sjuksköterskans kommunikation med patienter vid inskrivningssamtal inför elektiva operationer. På en kirurgisk mottagning på ett sjukhus i södra Sverige genomfördes 13 observationer och analyserades med inspiration av innehållsanalys. Resultatet mynnade ut i fem kategorier: Information bidrog till transaktioner, Förståelse för patienten, Ett tillåtande klimat, Att bli störd och Hjälpmedel. Resultatet diskuterades med hjälp av Imogene Kings teori om sjuksköterskors kommunikation, och det framkom att ett respektfullt bemötande lugnade patienten och skapade en trygg miljö som underlättade kommunikationen och påverkade informationsutbytet..

In this essay there will be four text books from grade 1 studied, the first one are from the year 1976 and it will be going forward to the year 2012. The aim of this study is to see how the genders are depicted and represented, as well as what roles the genders are given. I do also want to see if there is a notable change in this over time. I will be doing a study based on the quantity of the contents, and I will also be doing a critical discourse analysis.The result of the study showed that there were more gender-based constructions that referred to women in all of the four books, which indicates that women are represented more often in these reading books. It is most common to portray the genders in their stereotypical roles, which again are present in society, but sometimes these roles are depart from what?s present in society.
