Vi lever i ett mångkulturellt samhälle och i många av Sveriges skolor utgör barn med invandrarbakgrund en stor del av elevantalet. Syftet med mitt arbete är att skaffa mig kunskap om vad tvåspråkighet är för något och hur man kan arbeta språkutvecklande med invandrarbarn i år 1-3. Arbetet består av en litteraturstudie och ett fältarbete. Målet med litteraturstudien är att ge läsaren bakgrundskunskap till begreppet tvåspråkighet. Litteraturstudienberör bland annat definitioner, modersmålets roll för andraspråksutvecklingen, språkutveckling i allmänhet, olika typer av tvåspråkighet, språkfenomen, påverkansfaktorer, effekter, samt tvåspråkighet i skolan.

Over time, species colonize new areas naturally or through humans. The colonizers areoften few and founded populations represent only a fraction of the genetic diversityexisting in the original population. If the established population becomes isolated afterthe colonization event genetic diversity will remain low and if the population, in addition,remains small in size for an extended period this will lead to increased inbreeding andpossibly inbreeding depression. Metrioptera roeselii is a common species with awidespread distribution in continental Europe. During the last century, it has expanded tothe Scandinavian Peninsula which is separated from continental Europe by the Baltic Sea.My aim was to test the hypothesis that individuals in isolated populations in Scandinaviaincluding Denmark and the Baltic Sea islands are smaller than individuals in thecontinuous part of its distribution due to low genetic diversity and lacking incoming geneflow.

The purpose of this study was to examine pedagogues? experience working with shy children and their opportunities for participation in preschool. An increasing number of children are registered in preschools today; this leading to larger groups of children and the chance for the individual child to practice its rights of having its voice heard are therefore becoming more difficult.The literature review will start with what the UNCRC and the pre-school curriculum, Lpfö 98, say about children?s participation and their right to have their voices heard. After that, shortly about the shy child, and then moving on to what is important in the work with children?s participation.

In the last decade, member states of the European Union have adopted a range of measures to decrease the dependency on fossil fuels. This has led to an increased use of biomass in heat and power production. In some countries, the lack of forest resource has led to large scale power producers importing their biomass needs. Due to high energy content and homogeneity, wood pellets have become an internationally traded commodity used for large scale power production. The Baltic States have emerged as one of the largest wood pellet exporting regions in Europe.

Syftet med detta arbete är att undersöka hur man kan förbättra tvåspråkiga elevers situation i skolan. En litteraturstudie och intervjuer med fem lärare har legat till grund för undersökningen av hur viktig modersmålsundervisningen och undervisningen i svenska som andraspråk är för tvåspråkiga elever samt huruvida det skulle vara bättre att undervisa dessa elever på deras modersmål i till exempel samhällsorienterande ämnen. Resultatet visar att det är mycket viktigt att behålla modersmålet och utveckla det. Därför borde modersmåls- undervisningen ligga inom eller strax efter ordinarie skoltid. Man borde även sträva efter att förbättra modersmålslärarnas status.

The aim of this study is to look at censorship and attempted censorship of books about gay, lesbian, bisexual and transsexual (GLBT) people in public libraries in the USA. People from the public can submit formal challenges to a book at the library when they find the material offensive which can lead to those books being taken away from the library shelves. The questions asked are why GLBT- literature is being challenged, and sometimes banned, and how do the libraries deal with the challenges to the books.It is nowadays the people from the public, rather than the government or the librarians that are behind many cases of removal of books with homosexual themes. The study presents some of the fictional GLBT- literature that has been cause for much controversy in the USA. All the five examples mentioned are children?s books concerning GLBT- themes and are among the most challenged books in American libraries in the past twenty years.

Skriptspråk har under det senaste decenniet fått en ökad spridning, både gällande användareoch gällande användningsområden. Från att huvudsakligen ha använts till enklare dagligaadministratörsuppgifter används idag skriptspråken inom många områden där tidigare enbartsystemspråk var ett alternativ. Denna uppsats undersöker och granskar fem skriptspråk: PHP,Perl, Ruby, Tcl och PostScript. Målet är att undersöka språkens egenskaper och se påskillnader språken emellan. Vi jämför också skriptspråken mot systemspråket C, som dockinte granskas för sig.
