Studien fokuserar på några tjejers gymnasieval, framtida utbildnings- och yrkesval samt framtidssyn. Det övergripande syftet är att tolka och analysera påverkansfaktorer i tjejers identitetssökande till vuxenlivet.Den teoretiska delen och dess centrala begrepp är genus, att ha rätt kunskap, identitet och etnicitet samt kulturell jämställdhet och att välja arbete. Studiens identitetsperspektiv bygger på Kultursociologen Mats Trondmans beskrivning av identitet, men samhällsteoretiker som Anthony Giddens och Thomas Ziehe lyft också fram.För att analysera fenomen, företeelser och variationer i tjejers komplexa verklighet används kvalitativ forskningsintervju. Som metod inspireras studien av Grounded Theory. I Grounded Theory är det meningen att man ska upptäcka, beskriva och förklara nya fenomen.

This study was conducted in the Master program at The Music Pedagogical Center (MPC) at The Royal College of Music in Stockholm. Korta musikresor (Short Music Journeys) is the Swedish term used for a receptive method of music therapy adapted from the tradition of The Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music (BMGIM) and the theory and practice of Expressive Arts Therapy. The KMR method uses carefully selected short pieces of music, lasting between 2 and 5 minutes, to work on various psychological problems and life- crises. The music session is conducted in a slightly altered state of consciousness with a clear focus being established beforehand in a verbal dialogue with the psychotherapist. There is also the possibility of using artwork to process and explore the imagery after the music listening.

En översiktsplan är ett strategiskt politiskt dokument om byggande, mark- och vattenanvändning samt hushållning med naturresurser. Översiktsplanen beskriver inriktningen för långsiktig utveckling av kommunens fysiska miljö, vägleder, vid konkreta beslutstagande om mark- och vattenområdens användning samt redovisar hur hänsyn till riksintressen och miljökvalitetsnormer enligt Miljöbalken tas. 2007 startade kommunen ett arbete med att ta fram en långsiktig vision för Luleå kommuns framtid vilket resulterade i ett visionsdokument ?Vision Luleå 2050? som beskriver strävan mot ett önskvärt (?idealt?) tillstånd och blev godkänt av kommunfullmäktige 2008. Med strävan efter medvetna val inför framtiden påbörjade kommunen ett stegvist arbete med konkretisering av Visionen.

Skolan har ett demokratiuppdrag såväl som ett kunskapsuppdrag som ligger till grund för denna studies inriktning. Det politiska deltagandet har minskat bland ungdomar under 1990-talet och i en undersökning från Skolverket visade det sig att elever från praktiska och teoretiska program hade stora skillnader i kunskaper om demokrati. Vår studie syftade till att undersöka hur demokrati framställs och problematiseras i fyra samhällskunskapsläroböckers demokratiavsnitt där två används på praktiska program, Bok-och-webb (2004), Aspekt (2005), samt två som används på teoretiska program, Reflex (2004) och Zigma (2000).Läroböckerna i denna studie är exempel på brukstexter som har både en teoretisk och en praktisk funktion. Eleverna möter en textbaserad verklighet och skall utifrån den teoretiska kunskapen kunna fungera och agera praktiskt, i skolan och samhället. Till undersökningen valde vi att tillämpa en kunskapskritisk analys för att utröna vilken kunskap om demokrati läroböckerna förmedlar för att sedan relatera detta till skolans kunskaps- och demokratiuppdrag.

The interest in the subject of this study was raised during our education when we read about thedifficulties for young people to find a place at the labour-market.The aim of this study was to find out what the view of the possibilities to find a place on the labourmarketis for young people, 16 - 18 years old, who don't follow a national program but follow theindividual program.Both quantitative and qualitative methods have been used through a survey questionnaire and agroup-interview. The results show that young people know that education is important to get a jobbut at the same time the majority says that they would leave school if they got a job-offer. Theyoung people think that they have a relatively good knowledge about the labour-market but at thesame time they can't describe what it imply. This could mean that there is a gap between school andworking life. .

To enable the enhancement of the driver's environment in a forklift, an alternative form of steering has been evaluated. An earlier concept with a combined driving and steering wheel has been exchanged to a concept with two driving wheels. A link wheel has replaced the combined driving and steering wheel. The steering is done through differentiation of the velocities of the two driving wheels. The scope of this master thesis is to create a simulation model, create a control program and to evaluate the concept of two driving wheels.

The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate and develop a useful theory of human behavior that recognizes the importance of our emotions. The new framework, called the theory of emotional choice, is developed by a holistic method in which results from the fields of psychology, sociology and (neuro-) biology are used to mutually support the conclusions. The theory is distilled into six preliminary points, which are based on the finding that we are not thinking as logical, rational and longsighted as is often assumed. Instead the regular human thinking is suggested to be shortsighted, intuitive and ruled by our emotions and our needs for generality, causality and normality.To demonstrate the usefulness of the new framework, it is used in an analysis of financial bubbles. Additionally, the fields of negotiation, election and ethics are suggested as potentially interesting to analyze with the new theory..
