This degree project studied surface waters on Kåbo Golf Course in Uppsala, Sweden, with the aim of determining the status of the water and how it is affected by the activities of the golf club, and to obtain suggestions of measures to create better conditions for the water environment on and around the golf course. The project forms part of the environmental protection work of Kåbo Golf Club, which is working towards achieving environmental certification from the Swedish Golf Association (SGF). The study is based on literature studies and quantitative and qualitative field studies of water on the golf course, with the focus on environmental factors identified as being important for the golf industry and on strategic environmental goals developed by SGF. The number of open water bodies in the Swedish landscape has substantially declined during the past 200 years, so it is important to save those that remain. This study showed that the surface water at Kåbo Golf Course is an important element in the surroundings since the area contains few wetlands, which can be a habitat for large numbers of species. The stream and ponds on Kåbo Golf Course also have the important function of serving as water hazards in the game and adding difficulty and variety to the course. Since Kåbo Golf Club wants its surface waters to look aesthetically appealing, extensive algal growth and drying up of ponds during parts of the year are regarded as problems.

Uppsatsens syfte är att definiera fritidspedagogernas roll och kompetens under skoltid utifrån fyra lågstadielärares åsikter. Utifrån tidigare erfarenheter upplever vi att fritidspedagogen har under skoltid lägre status än lärare och benämns ofta som "hjälplärare" eller en "extra vuxen" i klassrummet. För att få grepp om detta har det genomförts fyra intervjuer på fyra olika skolor i södra Sverige.Resultatet pekar åt att de intervjuade lärarna har synen på fritidspedagogen som "en extra vuxen" i klassrummet, samt som en resurs till bland annat den praktiska undervisningen och barnens sociala utveckling. Lärarna nämner även att fritidspedagogens största uppdrag under skoltid är att ansvara för halvklass, elevrådsansvarig, kamratstödjare och andra sociala skolprojekt. Kortfattat kan vi utifrån undersökningen påstå att fritidspedagogen benämns som hjälplärare och som en extra vuxen under skoltid och har lägre yrkesstatus än lärarna.

Uppsatsen söker svar på frågan vad begreppet utanförskap innebär. För att få fram dess innebörd sker en analys av vad dess motsats innebär och hur urskiljandet sker. Den metod som används är en komparativ textanalys. Slutsatserna är att utanförskap innebär att individen inte finns på den marknad som övervakas och kontrolleras av statens administrativa lagstiftning. Lagstiftningen uttrycker inte någon moral utan är ett redskap för social kontroll och makt.

Female musicians and actors are being disadvanteged in the music industry, because of standards that prevents women from participating on equal terms. Unequal distribution of resources and status depends on power structures which creates an hierarchy. This study is about how an organization, Femtastic, works for equality and diversity in the field of music, how they experience their positions and their possibilities. Also how they relate to the cultural policy objectives. Femtastic is trying to create a structural change in the male-dominated music industry.

Det ökade inflödet på landets akutmottagningar ställer stora krav på sjukvårdspersonal att de ger patienterna ett snabbt och säkert omhändertagande. Sjuksköterskan har som uppgift att bedöma, prioritera alla vårdsökande samt dokumentera all viktig information. Bedömningen sker utifrån riktlinjer som är baserade på sökorsak. Dokumentationen av olika åtgärder har betydelse för det fortsatta vård- och behandlingsarbetet och kan vara helt avgörande för patientsäkerheten. Syftet med studien var att beskriva hur väl dokumentationen genomfördes i patientens journal vid besök på akutmottagning.

The EU- citizenship was established in the Maastricht Treaty in 1993. This citizenship involves rights to free movement, election rights to the European Parliament, diplomatic protection and the right to petition to the Ombudsman. In my analysis I discuss the implications of the EU- citizenship for the individual. The development and legal status of the union citizenship is examined in order to give a general understanding of the implications. In addition, I conduct a case study concerning the EU- citizenship's impact on workers rights.

Croatia became an independent country 1991 and has since then strived to reach a democracy level, which can lead to membership of the European Union. The purpose of this essay is on the basis of consolidate democratic perspective to illustrate Croatia?s democratic development.In order to fulfil the aim, I have applied a qualitative text analysis technique. Through analysis of books and documents, data was collected to accommodate a valid result. I have used consolidated democracy, with its five areas (political, civil, economic, legal and bureaucratic), as my theoretical framework to the data, to provide answers and develop an analysis.The conclusions show that the consolidate democracy in Croatia has developed a lot since the independence, and Croatia is on its good way to turn into a democratic state like other West-European countries.

The aim of this thesis is to examine the impact that clothing has in Margaret Atwood?s novel The Blind Assassin from 2000. The essay begins with a brief overview of how clothing has been acknowledged in different areas of research. The overview leads up to the conclusion that fashion, as well as clothing in large, has been overly ignored as a potentially fruitful subject of academic status. This is much due to the fact that fashion is traditionally regarded as being a classically feminine subject, as well as it can be said to be a result of fashion?s very elusive character.

Modern milk production have come a long way when it comes to accommodating the nutritional and physiological needs of the animals, but unfortunately the behavioural and psychological needs of cows and heifers are often left unfulfilled. A long time for eating is beneficial for the digestion and also gives the cattle something to do and decreases the risks for developing abnormal behaviours. An important factor that influences eating- and ruminating time is the particle size of the roughage. The aim of the study was to find out if particle size influences the behaviour of dairy heifers, in particular with regard to eating behaviour and abnormal behaviours. The study was conducted at Uddetorp farm high school in Skara. Forty-two heifers of the breeds SR and SF were housed in 8 slatted floor pens.

Syftet med detta arbete är att synliggöra några förskolepedagogers förhållningssätt och vår förhoppning är att detta ska kunna vara till nytta för alla som arbetar med barn genom att de uppmärksammas på dess betydelse. Våra frågeställningar utgår ifrån det som vi har valt att titta på i vår undersökning; Vygotskijs teorier, det salutogena lösningsinriktade tankesättet, läroplanen för förskolan och dess syn på demokrati samt vikten av att se mer än det som syns, detta kan bland annat förklaras med att se saker ur olika perspektiv. De metoder som vi har valt att använda oss av i vår undersökning är observationer och intervjuer. Vi inledde vår undersökning med två dagars observation i en barngrupp på en förskola i Malmö kommun. Efter observationerna intervjuade vi de två förskollärarna som arbetar med barngruppen.

Background: To maintain or increase the trust in the market, companies can disclose more voluntary information in the annual reports. According to prior research the annual report is the primary source of information for small shareholders and investors. Thus, it is of interest to investigate why companies chose to report the voluntary information inquired by this group. Purpose: We investigate some company-specific factors to decide whether these determine the extent of voluntary information, particularly inquired by small shareholders and investors, in the annual reports of listed Swedish companies. We also aim to discuss underlying causes for our result.

Aims: The aim of this study is to describe how youth?s political exclusion is constructed as asocial problem. This is done through a study of a project which aim is to engage young peoplein politics.Method and theory: By interviewing the project?s manager and developer as well as eightparticipating young people different constructions of the problem of youth political exclusionhas been analyzed using the social constructionist perspective on social problems.Findings: The dominant perspective found in the empirical material includes framing youngpeople?s lack of political knowledge and self-confidence as the reason for their politicalexclusion. Even though the Youth Board (ungdomsstyrelsen) in Sweden officially views allyoung people as a resource, when youth politics are implemented through projects, this is notthe view that young people meet.

Title: The process of gentrification ?the transformation of declined neighbourhoods into attractive ones Gentrification = ?A social process of change where people with high socioeconomic status move into neighbourhoods which traditionally has been dominated by people from the lower classes or from ethnical minorities.? (Nationalencyklopedin 2010).In many cities around the world, disinvested neighbourhoods become the place to be, where everything happens. This usually occurs when different social groups, such as bohemians, homosexuals and artists, move into a declined and disinvested neighbourhood. After a while, people from the middleclass move in to the area due to its increased attractiveness, and start to renovate their properties. This usually leads to higher rents, which force some of the original inhabitants to leave the neighbourhood.

Vårt syfte med arbetet har varit att undersöka barns meningsskapande i olika miljöer och belysa hur miljöerna kan skapa möjligheter respektive begränsa barn i deras bildskapande. Vi använde oss av rundturer, observationer, fältnotiser och fotografering som metod. I vår analys utifrån det socialsemiotiska perspektivet har vi kommit fram till att pedagogen uttrycker att arbetslaget är medvetna om miljöernas betydelse, d.v.s. materialets placering, möblering, rummets egenskaper och tidsramar för barns meningsskapande. I analys och diskussion framgår det att olika rum skapar olika tecken för barnen och att barnen läser av outtalade regler som rummets design skapar.

The purpose of this study is to examine how adolescents can participate and have influence in the society, by making obstacles and opportunities that are considered central for their possibilities to power visible. National and international research indicates that adolescents opportunities to participation and influence are limited by the structures of society. A qualitative method was chosen, in which group interviews were made with 14 youths in development areas in Örebro. Theories are presented which constitute tools for analysis of the obtained results and has been chosen based on power- and participation perspective. An analytical model has been used to illuminate what kind of participation adolescents have in different parts of the society, where the concepts from the theoretical perspectives, power and participation are inserted.
