The aim of the study has been to examine how young men from Stockholm construct "Masculinity". This has been done by examining what men think is an ?ideal man?, what "makes a man a man", which expectations they meet as men and how the life of a man differs from the life of a woman. This has been examined through three semi-structured group interviews with the total of ten men. The results have been analysed with Raewyn Connells Theory of Masculinities, the idea of ?Doing Gender? by Candace West and Don.

Denna uppsats behandlar hur gymnasielärare i historia ser på IT som ett pedagogiskt redskap. Genom en kvalitativ undersökning med intervjuer samt en kvantitativ undersökning med 103 respondenter fann jag att en stor del av dessa lärare använder IT i sin undervisning, hur ofta de använder IT som ett pedagogiskt redskap varierar. En stor del av respondenterna svarade att de ville gå en kortare utbildning för att få kunskap och tips om hur man kan jobba med IT i historieundervisningen. Tillgången till datorsalar var god och en stor del av respondenterna ansåg att det fanns fördelar med att använda IT som ett pedagogiskt verktyg. Slutsatsen blir att flertalet lärare använder IT i sin undervisning idag, men de törstar efter mer utbildning inom området.

Ever since its conceptual birth, the questioning of consequences due to the implementation of ideas from the reformation doctrine, called New Public Management, has been a common occurance among those who have dedicated themselves to research in superior methods of Public Administration. What this thesis aims to do is shed light upon what value-conflicts may occur within public administration organisations when they begin to idealize the rationalization of economic issues. The goal of this thesis will be fulfilled through the creation of two ideal types of public administration that exist in opposition to each other. These two ideal types will show two different views on how decision-making and organisation will be managed in their respective sectors. By doing this, there will be clarification as to what conflicting values arise with the implementation of ideas taken from New Public Management, as well as defining the fundamental difference between which ethical decision model is used..

The purpose of this master thesis is to show how a chosen actor in form of the Swedish union organization IF Metall (the Swedish union for metal- and industrial workers) works with pro-reading activities. The project being scrutinized is the Read to me dad-project which aims at fathers who are not used to reading activities within the LO-group (the Swedish Trade Union Confederation). The methods used are interviews and literary studies. The theoretical background of my discussion is based on three education ideals. The neo-humanist ideal emphasizes the personal improvement through literature.

This study attempts to answer the question of whether the propaganda of the Swedish political parties ?Socialdemokraterna?, and/or ?Sverigedemokraterna?, used for the election to the European parliament 2009, are to be viewed as populistic. Furthermore, is the propaganda to viewed as included in the ?Classical populism?, the ?New populism?, both, or none of the above genres? With a theoretical approach deriving from earlier works on the subject Classical/New populism from a number of writers, the study uses empirical and qualitative text analysis to study the parties propaganda. For each of the two genres of populism an ideal type is set up, which is used to define their core elements.

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka vad eleverna upplever påverkar deras lärande vid användning av dator som pedagogiskt verktyg. Studien utgick från tre frågeställningar: Hur ser eleverna på den egna förmågan att använda datorn som ett pedagogiskt verktyg? Vad ser eleverna som nödvändiga kunskaper för att kunna lära med datorer? Vad anser eleverna är effekterna av att använda datorn som ett pedagogiskt verktyg.

Den här uppsatsen är skriven av Maria Nätterlund. Den baseras på ett projekt av tre sceniska gestaltningar som genomförts i två separata söndagsgudstjänster. Syftet är att undersöka på vilket sätt en gudstjänst och dess deltagare påverkas när pedagogiskt drama, i form av scenisk gestaltning, införlivas. Litteraturen som har använts spänner över fälten liturgik och pedagogiskt drama. Efter gudstjänsterna har 21 personer intervjuats om sin upplevelse av den sceniska gestaltningens inverkan på gudstjänsten och om gudstjänsten i sin helhet.

In 1974 the three municipalities of Åsele, Dorotea and Fredrika were amalgamated despite of hunger strikes, mass protests and a serious threat of violence. But after six years the marriage shattered as Dorotea left the other two after years of continued struggle. In 2005 the idea of an amalgamation of Åsele, Dorotea and Vilhelmina municipalities was brought to life by an older and ever declining population.By creating a democratic ideal type consisting of the three variables ? legitimacy, participation and identity ? this study assesses what impact an amalgamation of the three municipalities might have on local democracy.Combining a qualitative and a quantitative approach this study concludes that amalgamating the municipalities today could create a democratic unit lacking legitimacy, having a weak identity and impeding participation. But the study also brings forth that the impact of an amalgamation upon the variables of the ideal type as defined is not written in stone.

The purpose of this study is to examine the actual political conditions that exist for the Iranian women. What is the political reality of the Iranian women and how can they exert political influence within the political system that exists in Iran today. This is done to see how the Iranian women's potential political influence affects Iran's democratic status. This will be answered through the overall research question: What opportunities do the Iranian women have to influence policy? This overall question is then split into three smaller research questions:1) What formal possibilities to political influence do the Iranian women have?2) What real possibilities to political influence do the Iranian women have?3) How have women in Iran tried to exert political influence outside the institutional framework?This will be done through a qualitative text analysis where texts concerning the Iranian women?s political influence are examined.
