Skådespelaryrket kräver mycket av en människa både intellektuellt, färdighetsmässigt och fysiskt. Det förväntas också ofta av en skådespelare att vara musikalisk. Musikalitet kan yttra sig på olika sätt. I skådespelarsammanhang vill jag påstå att musikalitet kan finnas i allt från texthantering till hur man rör sin kropp. Jag är rytmikpedagog, men har också arbetat som skådespelare.

In 2010 there will be a political resolution to ensure that the Swedish society is accessible to all citizens including people with disabilities. For this purpose a national action plan for disability policy "From patient to citizen" (Govt. Bill 1999/2000:79) has been set out with the aim of ensuring that the disability perspective will permeate every sector of society and that the approach and response to people with disabilities will be improved. The Swedish National Council for Cultural Affairs is responsible for implementing the disability policy in the cultural sector.Since public libraries in Sweden are a part of the public cultural sector, they will also be affected by the political resolution regarding accessibility. The concept underpinning library services for disabled people must be that of equality of access.

Föräldrars inflytande i förskolan Vi har valt att skriva ett examensarbete där vi presenterar hur föräldrarna upplever sitt inflytande i förskolan. Syftet är att på ett trovärdigt sätt undersöka om föräldrarna är nöjda med inflytandet de har idag eller inom vilka områden de skulle vilja ha mer inflytande. Vi frågade också föräldrarna varför de valt den förskolan som deras barn går i idag. För att nå ett resultat började vi med att leta efter intressant forskning som kunde ligga till grund i vårt arbete och vi läste även annan litteratur. Efter det konstruerade vi en enkät som vi lämnade ut till föräldrarna på tre olika förskolor.

The greater part of the recommended adjustments are possible to do in a normal class. But it requires more resourses and teachers with better knowledges about theese handicaps..

Affektreglering är ett begrepp som inom modern anknytningsteori används för att beskriva förälderns följsamhet, lyhördhet och stöd för barnet att reglera och organisera affekter, upphetsningsnivå och erfarenheter. Förälderns förmåga avseende detta antas kunna påverka barnets förmåga till självreglering. I syfte att studera om faktorer som att föda ett prematurt riskbarn och paritet påverkar mammans förmåga till affektreglering har en teoretiskt grundad skala skapats utifrån variabler som ingår i The Parent-Child Early Relational Assessment (ERA), ett kvantitativt bedömningsinstrument av samspelskvalitéer. I jämförelse mellan 17 mammor till prematurfödda riskbarn (VLBW/ELBW) och en matchad kontrollgrupp, videofilmade i samspelssituationer då barnen varit 3, 18 och 24 månader (korr. för prematurfödda), framkommer en signifikant lägre affektreglerande förmåga hos förstföderskor som har ett prematurt riskbarn.
