The conclusion is that our result contradictsthe established theories in the field, and that a more comprehensive investigation is warranted..

Safe in the cityscape? Gender aspects on spatial city planning In this thesis, theories regarding gender and spatial planning are applied to the comprehensive plan Fortuna och Hemgården in eastern Malmö. Independent of factors like class, ethnicity and age women experience lack of safety to a larger extent than men do. Today, safety aspects on housing projects is scarcely a controversial issue, quite the contrary. However seldom are the central terms such as safety and security defined. Research has shown that women feel safe when they experience little risk of being subjected to violence; security is deeply interconnected with feeling safe.

The purpose of this study was to examine how four teachers with different teaching experiences treat and think about insubordination in school. The study emphasizes on questions like: When and why does disorder occur? How do the teachers manage disorderly conduct in the classroom? and Could there be a conflict between the teacher?s expectations and management, and the needs and motivation of the pupil?    It was evident through interviews with these four teachers that their statements could be divided into similar themes which subsequently could be put into the motivational structure of Abraham H. Maslow.       The conclusion of the study was that teachers may possibly have a better chance of managing disorder in their classroom if they are aware of the connection between disorderly conduct and a person?s needs and motivation. .

IntroductionIn this study, we have explained the complexities of social media, as it is still a relatively unexplored area. With the rapidly growing use of social media in recent years, companies have chosen to establish themselves in social networks to advertise themselves and communicate with their customers. In this study we analyze IKEA Sweden and their use of social media on the national market, where focus lies upon IKEA Sweden Facebook-page. The study intends to find out how the company uses social media as a marketing and communication tool and also analyzes the relations and conversations that occur on the Facebook-page. Purpose and research questionsThe purpose of the study was to gain a deeper understanding of how a large Swedish company as IKEA has chosen to use social media and how it's perceived by them. We also intended to find out how IKEA Sweden uses social media in their daily work and how the company communicates through this media channel.

This study aims to examine play as a phenomena from a phenomenological approach. This I do by discussing a dominant approach to play, an perspective which is reproduced in the context of pre-school and in where the play and learning is in single focus. Using alternative perspective on play, mainly by Gadamer and Bakthtins philosophical thoughts about the feast or the carnival, contents differ significantly from educational or developmental psychology perspectives. I open up for an understanding of what play as ontology can be understood as, and thereby enable second readings. I illustrate this thought by an empirical example from a pre-school context which where created alongside with the children in the study.

SammanfattningSyftet med detta examensarbete var att undersöka hur samt vilka språkstrategier barnen använder i sina sociala interaktioner med andra barn och hur dessa språkstrategier påverkar deras kamratrelationer. För att möjliggöra uppnåendet av syftet studerades barnens interaktioner utifrån tre frågeställningar som fokuserade på barnens språkstrategier för att inbjuda, utesluta eller förhandla med kamrater i lek. Undersökningen bedrevs utifrån det sociokulturella perspektivet, då det verbala språket och interaktion med andra barn ses som nödvändigt för barns lärande och utveckling inom detta perspektiv. Denna studie genomfördes med deltagande observation som metod då barnens handlingar och interaktioner behövde studeras i deras dagliga miljö, som är förskolan. Jag valde deltagande observation som metod eftersom jag ville delta och befinna mig nära barnen i förskolan för att undersöka och skapa mig en bild av barnens verklighet.

Aniara is a versified epos written by Harry Martinson in 1956. The story is about a large group of people who are being evacuated from earth to Mars because the earth is radiated. However something goes wrong. They fall out of course and end up on a never ending journey in space.This essay examines the relations between the eposAniara and Lars Rudolfssons dramatization for Stockholm City Theater, played during the fall/winter of 2010. Through performativity and narrative theories I analyze narrations and characterization in the text and in the play.

Bakgrund Sedan 1800-talet har handhygienens betydelse för att minska smittspridningen mellan patienter i sjukvården varit känd. Idag finns rutiner och föreskrifter för hur sjuksköterskan ska arbeta på ett vårdhygieniskt sätt, för att minska smittspridningen mellan patienterna som sker via sjuksköterskans händer. Vid bristande följsamhet gällande handhygienrutiner ökar risken för vårdrelaterade infektioner, som i sin tur leder till ökat lidande för patienten och ökade kostnader för sjukvården. En tredjedel av vårdrelaterade infektioner går att förebygga. Trots det insjuknar tio procent av patienterna i akutsjukvården i en vårdrelaterad infektion i Sverige.SyfteSyftet var att beskriva följsamheten samt attityder till rutiner kring handhygien hos hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal i slutenvården.MetodArbetet är utformat som en litteraturöversikt med strävan efter systematik.

In this examination project I look into what ways upper secondary school students conceive themselves as politically influenced before they voted for the general election of 2010. The purpose is to examine which influences the upper secondary school surroundings and the classes of civic education are contributing with to students before they voted. As a method, I have used personal, semi-structural interviews on eight upper secondary school students who all voted for a party represented in the parliament. I have asked questions about how they believe their parents, the surroundings of their school and the classes of civic education have influenced them. To separate which influences primarily the upper secondary school and the classes of civic educations have had on the students, I have selected two comparison groups of four students in each.
