The empirical data used for this master thesis, consists of eight manuals with the main purpose to help students evaluate information resources found on the web or Internet. The purpose is to elucidate the discourses and investigate those textual characteristics, which figure in the investigated manuals. The method used is a discursive and linguistic approach, with a power/knowledge discussion applied to the results. The analysis identifies, among other things, the production and consumption of the investigated texts, and that the manuals function as a reflection of the relationship between the participants in the situation, the sociocultural practice of the institution and its identity..

How schools handles threat and violence among pupils could have an effect on the surrounding world, since schools reflect society at large. This study attempts to explore how this is handled within two schools, one secondary school and one upper secondary school. How do the schools work with violence and threats amongst pupils? Who is responsible for what? Is this work based on school guidelines? Why/why not? The theoretical starting-points have been Lundquists implementation-based control-model and an organizational point-of-view using theories about open and closed systems, primarily Meyer and Rowans neo-institutionalism. To gain validity, the study has been carried out by way of triangulation, i.e.

The purpose of this study is to examine the view of Swedish language teachers on the role of fiction and of school libraries within the compulsory school?s teaching of Swedish of form 6-9. The questions to be answered are:? What part do Swedish language teachers (hereafter called teachers) think fiction is playing regarding the pupils inclination to read and reading promotion?? What is the attitude of teachers regarding the function of fiction in the Swedish subject?? What do teachers consider being the role of the school library in education, and can this be related to the local school library resources?To answer the questions a questionnaire was sent out to thirty-five teachers. Four qualitative interviews were also carried out among the fourteen teachers that answered the questionnaire.

AimThe aim of this study has been to examine how health enhancement teachers in Montana, USA, view the value of physical activity from a lifelong perspective.In what way does the health enhancement teacher think the importance of physical activity from a lifelong perspective could be presented?What resources are available for teachers to present the value of physical activity from a lifelong perspective?MethodThe issue has been answered through qualitative interviews consisting of six health enhancement teachers, four women and two men, in Montana, USA. One of the teachers worked at an elementary school (for 30 years), three teachers worked at middle schools (20, 10 and 8 years of work experience) and two of the teachers interviewed worked at a high school (30 and 3 years).  ResultsThe majority of teachers feel that a wide variety of activities, adapted to an individual level, and the understanding of a healthy lifestyle are important in order for the teacher to present the value of physical activity from a lifelong perspective.The teachers felt they had sufficient material in order to present the value of physical activity, where the school budget provided the teachers with materials every year. In addition to the budget, all the teachers had 12 hours of professional development every year where they could attend conferences or their own choice of professional development.ConclusionWith the help in forms of professional development offered by the school, conferences, meeting with other teachers, and their own choice of development, the teachers instruction techniques could increase which could help the teachers to find the pupils? interest for different kinds of physical activities.KeywordsPhysical education and health, physical activity, SOC, sense of coherence..

Syftet med det här arbetet var att skapa ett häfte med några tips och idéer på hur matematik och lek kan kombineras, och att se om det finns några sidovinster med att kombinera matematik och lek.Lekarna i häftet ska vara genomförbara utan krav på vare sig material eller miljö.Jag genomförde en enkät för att se om det fanns något liknande material ute på förskolorna, och om ett sådant material används eller om det fanns ett intresse för att använda ett sådant material.Det egentliga huvudresultatet för det här arbetet är häftet som innehåller några lekar som kombinerar matematik och leken, och visa på några sidovinster det kan ge att kombinera matematik och lek.Det jag i stora drag kom fram till var att det egentligen inte finns några hinder på hur matematik och lek kan kombineras. Det är i princip bara den egna fantasin som kan var ett hinder i hur matematik och lek kan kombineras. Med ett öppet sinne och med lite fantasi så kan man leka när som helst, och var som helst. Att kombinera matematik och lek är alltså inte några som helst problem..

I detta examensarbete undersöker jag om och hur känslan av kvalitet i hantverk, material och sittkomfort påverkas av rationaliseringar i tillverkningsprocessen. Jag diskuterar också hur upplevelsen av kvalitet, hantverk och materialval förhåller sig till hållbarhetsaspekten i såväl estetiskt som ekologiskt, etiskt och ekonomiskt avseende. Undersökningen bygger på mina erfarenheter och min analys av mitt eget arbete med min gesällmöbel, kopian av denna och två ytterligare fåtöljer av identiskt utseende, alla med samma kvalitéer och material i det som syns utåt men med avvikelser i både tillverkningssätt och material i det inre. Jag konstaterar att beträffande utseende och komfort finns det ingen skillnad mellan de olika fåtöljerna, däremot med avseende på hållbarhet, både konkret över tid, och ekologiskt..

Fuel produced from renewable resources is of big interest. In this project the difference between a few different renewable materials are compared on the matter of environmental load when ethanol is produced. The renewable materials that are compared are Salix, straw and reed canary-grass (rörflen). The cellulose in the material is cut down to small pieces and then hydrolysed so that the sugar from the cellulose can be fermented into ethanol. Tha amount of ethanols that is studied in this work is the smount of ethanol needed to cultivate 1000 ha. The functional unit in the report is 1000 ha.

Undersökningens syfte var att jämföra två förskolors utemiljöer och se hur barn och pedagoger samspelar där. Vi ville se i vilken omfattning barnen har tillgång till material och vilket material och vilka platser de var intresserade av. Utifrån vårt syfte ställde vi oss frågorna: Hur ser förskolornas utemiljö ut? Vilket material finns tillgänglig för barnen? Vilka material och vilka platser visar barnen intresse för? Vad i leken blir föremål för pedagogernas samspel eller styrning? Skapar de olika utemiljöernas kontext olika förutsättningar för samspel och styrning? Forskning om barns utemiljöer som vi tagit del av är gjord av Grahn och Mårtensson (1993, 1997, 2004). Vår undersökning byggde på ostrukturerade observationer och fotografering av lek och samspel på de två förskolornas gårdar.

The Swedish institute of racial biology was the first of its kind in the world. The purpose of their activity was to gather information about the different kind of racial characters of the Swedish population. They did this by traveling around the country gathering pictures and statistic information. In 1958 it was decided that the institute was going to get integrated with the University of Uppsala and change its research focus to a more medical genetic. Most of the research material also got integrated into the university?s library.The purpose of this paper is to find out how the institutes collection has been handled through the ages and if there have been any controversy or debate about it.

January 1, 1999, a new sex purchase law was introduced in Sweden, Lag (1998: 408). The law implies that in a sex trade a crime is committed only by the consumer in the sex trade. The majority of consumers in prostitution are men and the suppliers are women. When prostitution is problematized it's usually from the woman's point of view and the perspective of the man is often overlooked. The new law has shed light on the consumer and made the male more visible in the public debate.

All around the world there are several armed conflicts, where rape is used as a weapon of war against the civilian population. Many take refuge from their countries of origin and may end up in Sweden, where they build a new life for themselves. What preparation is there to welcome these women and help them obtain a deeper sense of psychological well-being? The aim of this study was to reach an understanding of how professionals view the meeting between themselves and women who have been subjected to rape in times of armed conflict, as well as how the work with this group could be improved. The study had a qualitative approach and has been carried out with semi-structured interviews.
