The purpose of this essay is to study uses of history in a complementary teaching material in the subject of history. The material in question is a 170 page book titled Hitler och Stalin- En bok om ondska. In English, ?Hitler and Stalin- A book on evil?. Essential to the study is that it is expressed within the material that it might be used as the basis for a discussion of the threats against an open democratic society.

The purpose of this essay is to inquire whether there are any resemblance or differences in the Migrationperiod textiles between the three places that I have chosen, Högom in Sweden, Evebø and Snartemo in Norway. Another purpose is to investigate if this magnificencedressmaterial indicate some kind of mental borders, social differences or hierarchy not only towards other powerful chieftains in other areas but also inside there own society and groups, a dresscode. In other words both individually locally as regionally and internationally. If there are resemblance's between the dressmaterial, gravefinds and the graves context could that be a sign of the same sphere of power, alliances, trading, intentional import, domesticproduction, culturedistribution? My aim in this essay is to try to show that the textile ought to have a higher significance place among archaeological material.

Hand raising is a common method in schools and a way for students to engage in the classrooms turn-allocation (Andersson & Haglund 2006, p 35), but not all benefit from it. According to Dylan Wiliam (2011) hand raising divides the students by putting the students that participate in hand raising at an advantage versus the students that do not. This study aims to examine hand raising as a phenomenon and the students and teachers thoughts about hand raising. The main research questions were:How do the students perceive hand raising?How do the teachers reflect upon hand raising?How is hand raising usedas a tool by the students?The main reference to this study has been senior lecture Fritjof Sahlströms (1999) thesis Up the Hill Backwards.

Inriktningen på arbetet är att diskutera vad miljön spelar för roll och vad pedagogerna har för betydelse för barns inlärning och utveckling. För att besvara frågan hur pedagogerna arbetar har observation varit den huvudsakliga metoden. Genom intervjuer med pedagogerna på förskolorna har deras syn på barns inlärning och hur de själva arbetar för att främja barnens inlärning kommit fram. Det har studerats hur två förskolor med olika inriktning arbetar för att främja barns inlärning, en utomhusförskola och en traditionell förskola. Utifrån observationer och intervjuer med pedagogerna har det kommit fram skillnader mellan de båda förskolorna men också likheter. Miljön och arbetsinriktningen varierar mellan förskolorna, men pedagogernas arbetssätt liknar varandra oavsett i vilken miljö verksamheten befinner sig i.

Obesity and overweight are today classified as one of the largest epidemics in the Western world and is threaten a large part of the population. As a reaction to this a major health trend has emerged in recent decades. Every day consumers are exposed to information from the media about what is healthy or unhealthy to eat and the recommendations change frequently.There is great interest in healthy food on the Swedish food market, but still healthy foods only represents a small proportion of the total food sales. The essay examines the gap between the current and potential demand for healthy food and if it can be explained by any of the following factors: lack of information, price, taste or cognitive behavioral.To study these questions a quantitative method have been used and 213 questionnaires were collected. The intention is to draw general conclusions about the entire population.

Halten löst organiskt material (DOC) har under de senaste 20 åren ökat i våra sjöar. Det har också skett förändringar i karaktären. DOC ställer till problem för vattenverk som använder ytvatten som dricksvattenkälla genom att det kan ge lukt, smak och färg till vattnet. Det ger också ett ökat behov av fällningskemikalier, större slambildning och större bildning av potentiellt skadliga desinfektionsprodukter. I och med förändringarna i halt och karaktär av DOC behöver nuvarande reningstekniker förbättras och nya tekniker utvecklas.I den här studien undersöktes två konventionella reningstekniker; fällning med järnklorid och fällning med aluminiumsulfat, samt två modernare tekniker; jonbyte med MIEX® och membranteknik.

Background - Swedish trade and industry primarily involves small corporations, including small manufacturing corporations. Currently, most costing models that are used are based on studies accomplished at large corporations. This conveys to the fact that product costing that occurs at small manufacturing corporations is based on all complexities that large corporations bring, which rarely match with small corporations. It occurs that small manufacturing corporations unconsciously rely on incorrect information that has been calculated based on great corporations? product costing.

This is a bachelor?s essay in the landscape architect programme in Alnarp. The purpose of the essay is to describe discussions about security in planning contexts in Sweden. Written material from three levels of the discussions has been studied: Swedish research, governmental directives and practisers. I have tried to obtain a variation in types of material.

The purpose of this Master?s thesis is to investigate the library needs of fourteen-to-fifteen-year-olds. We have limited the investigation to the significance of libraries for the teenagers in their leisure time. Our focus is the public library with a particular reference to the plans for a new local public library with a youth profile in Malmö. With a departure point in the idea that young people?s use and view of libraries is to a large extent depending on factors such as social and cultural background and lifestyle, we chose to do a qualitative interview study with eight teenagers.

The purpose of this MA thesis is to examine the computerisation of sources that are of interest to genealogists. The primary focus of the thesis is an empirical study, by using a questionnaire addressed to 118 genealogical societies in Sweden, in order to find out what kind of computerisation is being performed by these genealogical societies and what their opinion is of the computerisation of sources of interest to genealogists. The result of this questionnaire has shown, together with printed and electronic material, that there is a good deal of interest from genealogical societies in the computerisation of sources. About half of the genealogical societies who answered the questionnaire are computerising sources themselves and the societies have a positive view in general of the computerisation that is being done and of the increased usage of modern information technology in genealogy. There are on the other hand certain issues that are being discussed such as the important question of the quality of the computerised material.

Background: Sporting events conveyed by the TV medium affect people and can give many unforgettable experiences. Sport may be synonymous with excitement and drama or just serve as entertainment. Through TV broadcasts from different sporting events, millions of televiewers all over the world have enjoyed athletic feats of extreme top class. TV broadcast sport always attracts a great number of viewers, also in Sweden. The prices of broadcasting rights to sporting events have risen strongly during the last decade, much as a consequence of the increasing competition between different TV companies both internationally and in Sweden.

Undersökningens syfte var att beskriva, analysera och förstå vad som händer med barn och pedagoger när mer bild och formskapande aktiviteter, material och verktyg förs in i verksamheten på förskolan. För att ta reda på det använde vi oss av deltagande observationer samt parallellt av anteckningar från dagböcker, reflektion och dokumentation som informationshämtande metoder. Som pedagogisk metod har vi använt oss av ett tema inriktat arbetssätt med inriktning på samspelet mellan barn och pedagoger vi har också utgått från ett estetiskt förhållningssätt. Vi har även använt förskolans läroplan och dess intentioner samt litteraturstudier kopplade till vår undersökning. Resultatet visar att både barn och pedagoger blir mer kreativa i en miljö där man för in skapande aktiviteter, material och verktyg.

The gender theory of Judith Butler is based on both philosophical and psychoanalytic notions of the self. Although greatly inspired by both early and contemporary psychoanalytic thinking, Butler has also questioned some of its core notions such as the meaning of gender complementarity and conceptions of desire. In a dialogue in Studies in Gender and Sexuality she discusses these and other theoretical and ethical issues with the influential psychoanalyst and gender theorist Jessica Benjamin. The exchange is a unique example of an attempt at dialogue and theoretical reflection between a prominent contemporary gender theorist and psychoanalyst. It reveals disagreements and theoretical difficulties I will show to be directly attributable to radical differences between Butler's and Benjamin's conceptions of the self.

The aim of this Master?s thesis is to investigate how a public library should sign and organize their resources to make them as accessible as possible to the users of the library. Our theory, Paul Arthur?s and Romedi Passini?s wayfinding theory, is about how people search through information loaded environments. Our empirical material consists mainly of three parts: an inventory of the resources and guiding at Hammarö bibliotek, eight interviews with visitors at Hammarö bibliotek and observations of how visitors use and interact with the library, its resources and guiding.

SammanfattningVid intervjuer i februari 2006 med pedagoger på ett föräldrakooperativ framkom att deras läromedel inte räckte till för att täcka deras barns olika behov. Varken deras egentillverkade eller köpta material var tillräckligt funktionellt.     Syftet med detta examensarbete har varit att utforma bildmaterial till föräldrakooperativet. Med målsättningen att ta fram ett språkfrämjande och målgruppsanpassat material till dem. För att kunna göra det har jag använt mig av två metoder, enkätundersökning och aktionsforskning.     Enkätundersökning - För att få en bild av hur språkfrämjande arbetsmaterial ser ut på olika förskolor. Genom undersökningen fick jag reda på hur de främjar sina barns språk, vilka arbetsmaterial de använder samt vilka egenskaper ett språkfrämjande material bör ha.     Aktionsforskning - För att i ett nära samarbete med pedagoger undersöka hur ett mer anpassat bildmaterial kan utformas till deras barns olika behov.
