Syftet med denna undersökning har varit att få en övergripande uppfattning om ungdomars förhållningssätt till Gud, religion, livsfrågor och tro, samt att se om deras tankar möjligen visar influenser av ett genusperspektiv. Alltså om deras svar och förhållningssätt gentemot dessa ämnen skiljer sig beroende på om de är flicka eller pojke. För att nå fram till dessa resultat har jag använt mig av en kvantitativ metod där jag genom enkäter med öppna svar låtit ungdomarna besvara ett antal frågor i ämnet. Jag har även använt mig av hermeneutiska tolkningsläran då jag genom den tolkat respondenternas enkätsvar. Resultatet har visat att de allra flesta ungdomar har frågor kring Gud, religion, livsfrågor och då speciellt meningen med livet.

Freedom of religion or belief is indisputable in Human rights discourse, more discussed is exactly what it is that is included in the concept of freedom of religion or belief (in Swedish: religionsfrihet). This thesis focuses on the freedom of religion or belief in a European context, in particular on the European court of human rights and article 9 in the European convention for human rights. Some criticism has been directed against the Court to the effect that its practice and verdicts don't answer to the pronounced desire to develop a pluralistic and inclusive form of freedom of religion or belief.My aim is to examine, analyse and test three different theories, which all try to develop alternatives to the expression freedom of religion or belief, in relation to six verdicts from article 9 in Europe convention. My basic purpose is to try to find new ways of talking about freedom of religion or belief that might lead to a more inclusive, pluralistic and equal interpretation of that concept.The three theories wich I use are elaborated by Richard Amesbury (associate professor at Claremont school of Theology); Hugo Strandberg (TD at Åbo Akademi) and Eberhard Herrmann (professor in philosophy of religion at Uppsala University); and Martha Nussbaum (professor of law and ethics at the University of Chicago). The six cases from the European court are: X v.

This qualitative study examines if an interest in soccer can give the same meaningfulexperiences in a person's life as a religion would. Five soccer fans were interviewedregarding the meanings and impact of soccer in their lives. Two theories in the fields ofsport and religion were used to analyze the data: Antonovsky's sense of coherence (SOC)with its components meaningfulness, manageability and comprehensibility and Heelasand Woodheads "life-as" and "the subjective-life? derived from the concept "thesubjective turn". It was concluded that the interest in soccer affected the respondents?views of life.The respondents? personal identities were strongly associated with groupmembership, meaning that their interest in common with others was perceived to makeeveryday life meaningful and manageable.

Denna uppsats består av en studie av en dialog mellan vetenskap och religion hos den amerikanska filantropiska John Templetonstiftelsen. Syftet har varit att utreda värdet av denna dialog och att få en uppfattning om värdet av dialoger mellan vetenskap och religion i allmänhet i fråga om aktualitet och fruktbarhet för deltagarna, publiken och den allmänna debatten. Den studerade dialogen visade brister i definition och riktlinjer, val av deltagare och diskussionsämne. Argumentationen utgick ifrån deltagarnas personliga tro eller icke-tro och inte utifrån deras kompetensområden inom vetenskap eller religion. Dialogens olika bidrag visade inte på någon större grad av nytänkande, med undantag för två korta essäer som diskuterade nya Gudsdefinitioner.

Detta är en komparativ uppsats som beskriver likheter och skillnader mellan Sydafrikas läroplan, Revised National Curriculum Statement for Schools (Grades R-9), Svenska läroplanen Lpo 94 och kursplanen i religion.Hur en läroplan utformas beror mycket på landets historia. Att Sydafrika har haft mycket problem med exempelvis apartheid speglas också i läroplanen. Demokrati är något som tycks vara mycket viktigt för den sydafrikanska skolan. I Sverige har vi haft demokrati relativt länge, och det verkar nästan som att vi börjar ta detta för givet. Hur stort utrymme demokratin tar i läroplanerna och kursplanen i religion är en av sakerna jag tar upp i denna uppsats.Jag jämför också hur man beskriver religionsämnet i respektive läroplan/kursplan.

The purpose of this Master?s thesis is to study how well the online catalogue of The Music Library of Sweden works when ordinary users are searching for sheet music. The issues studied are: Why do the users fail to find the sheet music they are looking for? Do the users take advantage of the possibilities that the classification codes of the SAB system offer? If not, why?The source material of the study is 144 comments from a user questionnaire about the online catalogue and, in addition, the search log for one day (513 queries). The comments were sorted into seven groups depending on the type of information need, for example searches for certain instrumentation or genres and problems with spelling.

I denna uppsats har jag valt att undersöka sex elevers uppfattning om religion, religionsutövning och religionsundervisning samt hur deras lärare försöker anknyta till barnens uppfattningar. Syftet med uppsatsen är att få en inblick i dessa barns uppfattningar om religion, religionsutövning och religionsundervisning och i hur man som pedagog kan dra nytta av att utgå från elevernas erfarenheter för att göra en religionsundervisning anpassad till alla elever samt att resonera om svårigheter som kan förknippas med detta. Studien genomfördes med en kvalitativ forskningsmetod med semistrukturerade intervjuer och litteraturstudier. Intervjuerna har sedan analyserats och på så vis har jag fått fram det som jag anser vara barnens uppfattning och inställning inom området. Resultatet av studien visade att eleverna hade svårt att definiera begreppet religion, och i sina förklaringar satte de mest fokus på det substantiella innehållet i en religion dvs.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att se på läroböcker från 1962 och framåt för att undersöka hur dessa harframställt religionen Islam i text och i bild, samt att undersöka hur bra innehållet i boken stämmeröverens med forskningen om Islam. Vilken bild har tidigare generationer fått av Islam? Vad har detstått i läroböckerna om Islam och vad har läroplanerna ansett om undervisningen i framförallt Islam,men även om andra världsreligioner? Hur bra stämmer egentligen det som står i läroböckerna medverkligheten? Dessa frågor har jag besvarat i min uppsats. Genom att undersöka läroplaner ochläroböcker från 1962 fram till idag har jag sett en positiv förändring i skolans syn på Islam samt attundervisningen i religion har utvecklats. Jag har även i min uppsats kommit fram till att läroböckernaär trovärdiga och att många böcker i ämnet religion är forskningsbaserade och värda att tro på..

Internet har blivit na?stintill oumba?rligt i dagens va?rld. Fra?n online-spel till e-handel och fra?n kommunikationskanaler till ett informativt na?t, a?r Internet fo?rmodligen en av de mest framtra?ngande och vitt spridda uppfinningarna av va?r tid. Medan sa?kerheten kring anva?ndandet av Internet har diskuterats vilt sa? har anva?ndbarheten av Internet i olika omra?den inte utforskats till samma grad.

This paper examines the impact of conscious shelf management on online grocery stores. An S-O-R framework is used to unveil if some established shelf management techniques from physical stores are applicable in an online context. We also explain some of the cognitive processes customers experience as they get exposed to online buying situations. A main study with two data sources is conducted: one quantitative website experiment with 168 participants who got exposed to five different organisation patterns within five different categories; and one more qualitative eye tracking experiment with 20 participants. The results indicate that a disorganised product page evokes not only different scan paths and cognitive patterns but also generates higher sales.

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate whether the lower secondary school teaching in religion leads to a positive understanding and openness, concerning different religions and cultures. We want to study how pupils in grade eight and nine in two lower secondary schools in a multicultural community comprehend different religions. Since we choose a pupils perspective we decided to do a questionnaire to get a wide ground. As a complement we interviewed twelve pupils and also did observations during their religion classes. During our study we focused on three different themes.
