Syftet med den här studien är att göra en fördjupad undersökning om lärares uppfattningar och förhållningssätt inom skolan beträffande mötet mellan begreppen skolplikt och religionsfrihet i relation till islam. I förhållande till detta vill vi undersöka exemplet slöjan, samt lärarnas uppfattning om vem som bär ansvaret för att skolplikt och religionsfrihet infrias i verksamheten. I studien använder vi oss av en kvalitativ forskningsmetod. I undersökningen gör vi intervjuer med elva lärare, verksamma på fyra kommunala högstadieskolor i en och samma kommun. Studiens resultat visar att lärarna till största del uppfattar att skolplikt, religionsfrihet och islam går att förena utan stridigheter inom skolan.

Studien handlar om hur islam och muslimer har framställts i svensk dags- och kvällspress ledarsidor under perioden 2004-01-01 och 2007-01-01. I undersökningen ingår tidningarna, DN, SvD, Expressen, Aftonbladet, GT samt KvP som tillsammans bidrar med 179 ledarsidor. Till denna undersökning har det dels använts en kvantitativ textanalys och dels Faircloughs kritisk diskursanalys där även flertalet av våra teorier ingår. Teorierna utgörs av Runnymede Trusts öppna och slutna attityder, kolonialismen och postkolonialismen, stereotypisering samt hegemoni och common sense. I den kvantitativa innehållsanalysen presenteras dessa tidningars inställning i siffror, som redogörs via olika diagram samt en tabell.

The aim of this study is to examine new interpretations of homosexuality in Islam based on Scott Kugle?s book ?Homosexuality in Islam? and the documentary ?A Jihad for love? by Parvez Sharma. Through a theological perspective, a critical analysis is performed in order to find new interpretations and compare them with each other and with the Islamic legal tradition. Argumentative analysis is also used for both the book and the documentary for this essay.     Both Kugle and Sharma use new interpretations and arguments about love to find space for homosexuality in Islam. They use a Muslim language to have relevance with their discussions to Muslim readers and viewers.

Introduction: In Sweden the definition of ambulance nursing is the examination and treatment of sick or injured people done by ambulance nurses during transport.  This means not only focus on the illness or injury but also the human being treated. The paramedic service must be based on the presumption that the medical needs of the patients are guaranteed, and that the expectations and demands of the public are satisfied. Competence and availability are basic terms for a well-functional paramedic service. There is a lot of pressure put on the people working with pre-hospital nursing. One mistake can lead to serious consequences for the patient.

Title: From openness and presence to distance and control: to be medicated and to administrate from a patient and nurse perspective.Background: Within forensic psychiatric care the patients are admitted against their will, under heavy security with long term treatments. Self-care seems, based on scientific studies, to be dependent on what the nurses involved can provide. Emphasis should focus on a humane and respectful approach when the patient is exposed to coercive measures.Aim: From a patient and nurse perspective describe experiences of beeing medicated with and to administrate antipsychotic drugs within the psychiatric inpatient care.Method: Interviews with patients and nurses, which were analyzed using qualitative content analysis with an inductive approach.Results: Patients experience frustration over not beeing able to participate in or influence descisions made regarding their neuroleptic treatment. The neuroleptic treatment is described as a coercive measure and is characterized as an experience of losing control and independence. Nurses? experiences of administering antipsychotics were described as having to do what is needed for the long term benefit of patients? well-being.

Västerländska icke-muslimer har sedan 2000-talets början fått en allt mer negativ attityd gentemot islam och muslimer. På grund av faktorer som medias negativa förmedling av religionen genom upprepade associationer med terrorism har en förvanskad bild av islam som en politisk ideologi snarare än en religion och muslimer som ett enhetligt folkslag spritt sig hos Europas icke-muslimer. Muslimer kategoriseras som en massa där alla enskilda individer ska passa i samma lilla kostym, oavsett om den i verkligheten är för lång eller kort. Även i Sverige märks den allt mer påtagliga och inte sällan accepterade islamofobin, inte bara genom nyhetsmedias negativa förmedling av religionen och dess utövare utan även genom att islamfientliga partier som Sverigedemokraterna vinner allt större gehör hos så väl skolungdomar som hos den röstberättigade befolkningen. Den här uppsatsen har som syfte att ta reda på hur två lokala muslimska församlingar arbetar med att förmedla en mer positiv bild av islam och muslimer till samhället.

The purpose of this essay is to see if the Swedish nationalist party?Sverigedemokraterna? use religion rhetorically in their paper SD-Kuriren, and if so,then how? The method used to examine this is called rhetorical analysis. Furthermore, thetheory to explore how religion is used rhetorical is Said's Orientalism.The results show that religion is used rhetorically in the articles. Islam is explainedfrom our point of view in the west, and not their own. Islam becomes a religion that is faraway from what the Swedish culture is like, and also a religion that is violent andirrational compared to the Swedish culture, but also other religions, such as Judaism.Also, religion is used rhetorically to show that Islam is the opposite in relation toChristianity and Judaism..

The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is a special unit for patients who is in the need for emergency life-sustaining measures and every patient has complex medical- technical equipment. The experiences of a critical illness and the needs of critical care are experienced in different ways. The purpose of this study was to describe the experiences from patients in the ICU and how this experience has an influence on the patients. The method was a study of literature with a qualitative inception based on eight scientific articles and the analysis of content has been inspired by Graneheim and Lundman (2003). The result of the study is presented by four categories: to loose the ability to make themselves understood, to be forced to adjust to the environment of caring, to have the lack of connection with reality and to be in an intensive care environment, The results showed that patients in the ICU are affected by the attitude from the staff, the equipment around them as well as the sounds and lights in the environment there.

This paper studies three Swedish textbooks for the A-course in religious studies, in the Swedish equivalency of high school, to see if the image of Islam and Muslims presented is diverse or homogeneous and exotic. The purpose of the study is to see whether or not the religious studies can contribute to the forming of islamophobic beliefs in pupils. Studies have shown that islamophobia is widespread in Sweden, therefore it could be interesting to see if the schools play any part in the forming or spreading of islamophobic views. The conclusion reached is that this cannot be excluded as a possibility. There are still some textbooks that present Muslims in a homogeneous and exotic manner to some degree.

Skolan ska förmedla lika undervisning för alla, oavsett kön, ursprung, sexuell läggning eller religionstillhörighet. Frågan är dock om den likvärdiga undervisningen ger en likvärdig bild av alla religioner och kulturer? Hur ser det ut i läromedlen och vilken bild ger undervisningen?Islam är en religion som växer, både i Sverige och i världen. I takt med att den muslimska befolkningen blir allt större ökar även fördomarna mot muslimerna och den så kallade islamofobin får ett starkare fäste hos många människor. Hur bör skolan göra för att minska fördomarna och den utsatthet som många av de muslimska ungdomarna känner?Denna litteraturstudie försöker besvara dessa två problem tillsammans.

Previous research and patient complaints to the Swedish Patient Support Committee shows that there is a lack of substance in the patient-nurse relationship. This may suggest that it can be difficult for health care to live up to health-care law which requires it to be of good quality, based on dignity and respect and designed so that the patient is an active participant and can make their own decisions when it comes to their health care. For a better understanding of what a dignified patient-nurse relationship is, this study aims to clarify what the patient values as good patient-nurse relationship and describe how they have experienced the patient-nurse relationship during their stay at an emergency care department. The study is a descriptive cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, where the population consisted of patients who were cared for at an emergency care department in the County of Västmanland, Sweden during 2007. The sample consisted of 93 patients which were asked to answer a questionnaire.
