The Christianisation of Sweden is not much about religion. Instead, there is much to be gained by looking at it as a colonial situation with changing social identities and power structures. This is evident by the prevalence of hybridisations in the archaeological material.Some of the material categories that show the clearest example of changes are the burials from the 9th century up until about AD 1200. This is exemplified by two different Iron Age burial sites in Stockholm county, Uppland, Sweden: RAÄ 59, Valsta, in Norrsunda parish and RAÄ 40, Lilla Ullevi, in Bro parish; They both show hybridisation by involving older elements with newer ones during a time period when the church was not quite established in the region yet.The Christianisation of Sweden is a colonial situation, but the research tradition has often also used a colonial lens from the 19th and early 20th century in its approach to the period. This means that the same questions, interpretations and conclusions, often based on written sources, have been continuously reused for a long time, which has had consequences for the archaeology in Sweden..

Under valen 2002 ? 2006 har Sverigedemokraterna i Sydsverige gått starkt framåt. Vad kan förklara denna starka framgång?Syftet med denna uppsats är att försöka specifiera om värderingskillnader mellanSydsverige och övriga Sverige föreligger genom att undersöka om det finns någotsamband mellan region och inställning till det kulturella samhället. Genom att användamaterial från den europeiska forskningsprojektet European Social Survey (ESS)undersöks hypotesen om det föreligger värderingsskillnader mellan Sydsverige ochövriga Sverige i inställning till det mångkulturella samhället som då kan ha en del i förklaringen varför Sverigedemokraterna är starka just i Sydsverige.

Since some years Linköping has invested in biogas production, mainly from offal's, residuals from food industry and manure. The municipality goes for biogas in the local traffic and in all transportation. It is also possible for private car owners to run their cars on biogas. The purpose of this essay is to perform a cost-benefit analysis and examine if the project has been beneficial from a social point of view. The effects have been identified, measured and monetarily valued. The essay is limited to include the year of 2006 only.

I wanted to focus this essay on the operative?s perspective of running religious organizations in the city of Karlstad and to see positive and negative aspects of their day-to-day life working with their organization, following up with a comparison of the difference and the similarities between those groups. After delimitating which groups I was going to examine, I implemented a qualitative study of four people, from two different religious groups, whom I performed interviews with. My method of performing these interviews and understanding the perspective of the informants, I had a semi structured interview guide along with a recent study that was opting for similar conclusions, only in a different county and with different input perspective. The result of my study showed a difference in establishment of their region but with a lot of similarities in problems with their religious and structural premises.

In the proposition Nya förmånsrättsregler, 2002/03:49, the government suggests a new bill of beneficial rights, or FRL. The proposition has several changes, mostly for The Banking system. One of the changes is that the banks´ individual beneficial rights shall be replaced by a general beneficial right, where the beneficial value never exceeds 55 percent of the value of insurance bonds. Previously, the beneficial value was 100 percent.The purpose of this essay is to evaluate the relationship between the banks´ activities, and the new bill of beneficial rights, especially what the effects will become for the public companies within the printing houses, with 1 - 49 employees in the Skåne Region.The survey includes a total of 142 companies and it was distributed via e-mail. The conclusions from the study are that there are tendencies of increased difficulties for companies to get their credits granted by the banks.

In the Darfur region, located in the West of Sudan, there is a conflict between rebel groups and the government-supported Janjaweed militia. The fighting?s, which started in 2003, has caused the loss of at least 200 000 human life and more than 2 million people have fled their homes. The conflict has been described as a? prolonged Rwanda?.

Sammanfattning Kristianstad och Växjö har lika stor befolkning fördelad över respektive kommun men med olik geografisk struktur. Detta påverkar resor i vardera kommunen med ett transportmönster som skiljer sig åt. Denna studie vill påvisa den skillnad som olik bebyggelsestruktur ger med avseende på persontransporter. Detta i syfte att i framtiden bättre planera för ett hållbart samhälle med minimalt antal miljöbelastande trafik. Som tjänsteman inom planeringsområdet är det viktigt ha kunskaper om skillnader och speciellt valsituationer i en kommun eller i en region om dess framtida långsiktiga utveckling. Det är också viktigt att ej ha en övertro på det arbete som planerare kan åstadkomma då samhället i övrigt har gott om aktörer som vill påverka den fysiska strukturen.

Resandeströmmar avser flöden av människor som valt att transporteras via någon typ av färdmedel. Resandeströmmar kan avse bil-, tåg-, buss-, båt-, flyg- och till och med gång- och cykelresenärer. I föreliggande arbete har resandeströmmar gällande regionaltågstrafik inom de svenska storstadsregionerna behandlats. Syftet med arbetet är att identifiera vilka faktorer som driver utvecklingen av resandeströmmar inom de svenska storstadsregionerna. Genom sådan förståelse skapas möjligheter att i tidigt skede urskilja hur resandeströmmar väntas utvecklas.

Antalet sjukskrivningar i Sverige har sedan slutet av 1990-talet ökat. För att få ner antalet sjukskrivna i arbetslivet, har en ny sjukskrivningsprocess utvecklats. Förändringarna med socialstyrelsens ökade krav på tidig bedömning av arbetsförmåga vid sjukskrivning och förbättrade rehabiliteringsinsatser kan fungera som bas för utvecklingen av arbetsterapin och arbetsterapeuternas kompetens. En enkätundersökning genomfördes med sex arbetsterapeuter inom primärvården i Region Skåne. Syftet med undersökningen var att undersöka hur arbetsterapeuterna ställde sig till att göra tidiga bedömningar i sjukskrivningsprocessen och hur detta kommer att påverka deras framtida arbetssituation.

The relationship between China and Japan has historically been problematic and, in some ways still is. One of the issues where both of the states cannot agree on is the island dispute. While both states are claiming sovereignty over the island and there do not seem to be an ending to it in the near future. If the island dispute continues to escalate it could have a negative impact in the Asian region and eventually rest of the world as well. However due to the complexity of the dispute a deeper knowledge is needed and a mutual understanding is needed.

In the constitution of Sweden everyone has the right of common access in the nature. Toprotect these rights, as well as the nature, in areas close to shores the environmental law ofSweden (miljöbalken) protects areas within 100 meters from the waterline. Due to amendmentin this law, Swedish municipalities have to present countryside development areas close toshores. Within these areas, which are to be displayed in the municipality?s comprehensiveplan, it will be possible to get exemptions from the protection if the planned measure willbenefit the development of the region.

För att underlätta och kvalitetssäkra dettidiga/prehospitala medicinskaomhändertagandet har olika hjälpmedel, såkallade beslutsstöd utvecklats. RETTS är ettav dessa beslutsstöd som används inomprehospital medicin för att triagera patienten.Genom att arbeta med triage bedöms denmedicinska svårighetsgraden samt identifierasde patienter som har störst samt lägstvårdbehov. Syftet med studien var attundersöka specialistutbildadeambulanssjuksköterskors upplevelser av attarbeta med RETTS som beslutsstöd i sambandmed prehospital omvårdnad. Studiengenomfördes med kvalitativ design genomintervjuer med ambulanssjuksköterskor somvarit yrkesverksamma minst två år innanRETTS beslutsstöd infördes i Region Halland.I resultatet framkom följande fyra kategorier;strukturerat hjälpmedel, ett tryggtomhändertagande, bra kommunikation samtkräver erfarenhet. Vi rekommenderar attvidare forskning fokuserar på patienternasupplevelser av att bli triagerade utifrånRETTS, för att identifiera och belysaytterligare för- och nackdelar med RETTSbeslutsstöd..

This essay explores the Swedish state?s geopolitical view and creation, of the spatial spaces in and of the Arctic. With a critical geopolitical framework, a discourse analysis is conducted on the Swedish strategy for the arctic region, with the ambition to unfold the underlining spatial spaces, actors and dramas that this discourse creates. The result of this analysis shows that Sweden creates three different Arctic spaces within its geopolitical discourse; a Swedish Arctic, a Nearby Arctic and a Regional Arctic. This has major political consequences, which will be illuminated in the essay.

The vertical electronic excitation energies for the narrow-bandgap polymers LBPF, EP37 and EP62 have been calculated using Density Functional Theory (DFT). Also the vertical excitation energies for the acceptor unit of LBPF have been calculated using the Hartree-Fock (HF), DFT and Coupled Cluster (CC) methods. The calculations cover the visible and infrared wave length region and two strong transitions are obtained, one corresponding to the pi to pi* transition and one corresponding to the pi to Acceptor transition. The excitation energies obtained from DFT are below the corresponding experimental results and attempts have therefore been made to perform bench-marking calculations using a hierarchy of CC methods..

The aim of the study is to examine different statements for and against regional identity in the research of the new organisation of the Swedish society. The aim is also to observe in what extend the Swedish committee of responsibility has had an awareness of the identity politics in its effort to improve the presumptions for the new, successful regional division.The questions are:1. In which ways do the opinions of the participant of the work of the committee of responsibility, coincide and differ when it comes to the importance of the regional identity in the case of a new regional division?2. How has the committee of responsibility worked on development of consciousness and mobilisation for the creation of the regional identity in its final report?A method called the argumentation analysis was used in this study.
