Marginaliserad kunskap? ? En kritisk studie av representationen av genusvetenskaplig litteratur i klassifikationssystem och ämnesordslistor
The main focus of this master?s thesis concerns the relation between subject representation, power and gender. Classification systems and subject heading lists are products of their cultural and social context and some subjects and disciplines are given a greater value than others. Our aim in this thesis is twofold; to discuss and critically analyse the prevailing gender norms that are expressed trough classification systems and subject heading lists and to examine how they manage to represent gender studies as a multidisciplinary subject in theory as well as in practice. We are also discussing the particular problems with the representation of multidisciplinary subjects in general.
Realismens utveckling från Machiavelli till Morgenthau
Political realism is a general theory within political science focusing on the principle interest defined as power. The theory?s mutual standpoint is that states are inspired by power politics meaning that military and economic power or security stands in the centre while moral and ethics are placed in the periphery. This essay?s purpose is to analyze realism which helps to understand the development and change of the perspective.
Grupprehabilitering i audiologisk verksamhet
The purpose with this study was to systematically examine scientific studies of audiologic group rehabilitation. The definition of audiological rehabilitation was explored, different variables that influence the result and how the outcome measures should be done and its relationship with the goals of audiologic rehabilitation. The method used was a literature study. Pubmed and Cinahl were used for the search of literature. Some articles were searched from scientific studies reference lists and also advice from the supervisor.The result from the different studies shows that the effect of rehabilitation varies as there are many aspects that have an affect on the outcome measure.
Kunskapsteori och kunskapsorganisation: En diskursanalys
This Masters thesis concerns epistemology in Knowledge Organization KO, as a field of study in Library and Information Science LIS. Using a theoretical model by Birger Hjørland and foucauldian discourse analysis as springboards, this study analyses three epistemological discourses in the practice of KO. The aim of the study is to show how these discourses are constituted and demarcated in relation to KO, as well as to examine how they fit into Hjørlands model. A brief historical outline of some epistemological trends in LIS is sketched, as well as examples of how different epistemological schools influence different parts of KO, e.g. information retrieval, indexing- and classification theory.
Infiltration of Waldheim
"Infiltration of Waldheim" är ett spel gjort av David Lindell (grafik), Andreas
Persson (programmering) och Mathias Jönsson (ljud och musik). Målet vi hade med
projektet var att ha en spelbar bana med minst en vapen typ samt fiender att
eliminera, allt ackompanjerat med pampig musik och en massa ljudeffekter.
Jag kommer i denna rapport beskriva arbetets gång samt reflektera över vad som
har fungerat och vad som varit mindre bra under projektets gång.
Mina planer för spelet var mest att lära mig mera om framförallt AI samt arbeta
mera i 3d. Spelet ska mest vara för mig själv, men med lite putsning och mera
innehåll eventuellt användas vid jobb ansökningar i framtiden..
Skolans fysiska miljö och hur den påverkar elevernas skoldag : En studie från två skolor
This study aims to examine what students in two schools think of the physical environment in their school, and how this affect their studies. My main question I wanted to answer was:How does the students think that the physical environment affect their day in school?I also wanted to find out what the students think is important in the physical environment in their school. The study is based on interviews with students i two different schools. One secondary school, in which three eight-grade students were interviewed, and one high school in which two students were interviewed. The result of the interviews is that the students think that their work in school is affected by the physical environment. The most important things is to feel safe in school and to have the possibilities to do studies without limitations in the environment, for example room to do their own studies, and a flexibility and variation in the environment.
Stridsåtgärder mot småföretag
Blockader används för att tvinga fram kollektivavtal med småföretag, även om arbetstagarna på företaget varken är intresserade av det eller är med i facket. Huvudregeln återfinns i regeringsformen 2 kap 17 § vilken lyder: ?[f]örening av arbetstagare samt arbetsgivare och förening av arbetsgivare äger rätt att vidta fackliga stridsåtgärder, om annat ej följer av lag eller avtal?. Här intar småföretag ingen särställning gentemot större företag. Traditionen är stark när det gäller parternas möjlighet att själva reglera villkoren och utveckla mönstret för stridsåtgärder på arbetsmarknaden.
Bön och upplåtenhet : En religionsfenomenologisk undersökning
Religious phenomena, such as prayer, have more or less always interested and engaged people, but most likely for different purposes. Since the early 20th century, starting notably with Edmund Husserl and especially Martin Heidegger, phenomenologists have taken an interest in understanding and expounding the meaning of religious phenomena. The attention of such a discourse have not ceased but is rather current, and also of importance seeing that religious themes, such as prayer, still occupy a great extent of human life and practice.Phenomenology of religion is not a science of religion: the former approaches religion in terms of its meaningfulness, whereas the latter as an object of inquiry and in the same manner as an economist approaches economical indicators in order to understand and explain how the whole economy functions. In other words, phenomenology of religion expounds religion, as it were, from within, while science of religion does it from without or externally.When approaching prayer phenomenologically, it shows itself to be a process or structure through which the one praying empty himself in order to be able to receive the valuable presence of the other. The value that is received from the other will also be reflected by the one praying and in that sense effect his surroundings and fellow humans..
Anaerob nedbrytning av TNT : Ett bioreaktorförsök på Vingåkersverken
A bioslurry reactor was built for the bioremediation of TNT contaminated waste from the demilitarization industry. The field test was conducted at Vingåkersverken in Vingåker, Sweden, to see if results from laboratory studies could be repeated in a full scale reactor. The goal of the project was to optimize the reactor to such a degree that it could be used to handle the waste produced at Vingåkersverken and also that this technique could be applied for remediation of contaminated soils. Unfortunately the samples taken during the full scale field test were destroyed by the shipping company and no analysis was possible. A later attempt by the Biorex research group has also been unsuccessful to reduce the amount of TNT using the bioreactor.
uppsåt och oaktsamhet inom skadeståndsrätt
Sammanfattning Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda de två begreppen inom skadeståndsrätt: uppsåt och oaktsamhet. Om författningar och andra föreskrifter inte ger ett tydligt svar huruvida en handling skall anses uppsåtlig eller vårdslös, gör domstolar en fri bedömning. Denna uppsats redogör för gällande praxis. Uppsatsen analyserar i mindre utsträckning hur de två begreppen tillämpas inom försäkringsrättsliga och straffrättsliga sammanhang. Enligt ny försäkringsavtalslag som gäller sedan 2005 försvinner begreppet grov vårdslöshet.
Aurora - Technology made to make things easier
Det började faktiskt redan hösten 2004, när jag satt och arbetade med ett av de
otaliga projekt man gör under sin skolgång. Projektet gick ut på att skapa en
hemsida med en digital katalog, och voilá, där föddes idén.
Sedan fortsatte jag att fundera, vända och vrida på idén, ett system för att
skapa digitala kataloger och mindre presentationer som vemsomhelst skulle kunna
använda. Just detta att inte exkludera de som inte kan ?Flash? från de som
skall kunna redigera systemet har varit en av mina stora grundpelare, ett slags
digital demokratitanke.
För att skapa systemet har jag använt ?Macromedia Flash MX? och dess inbyggda
programmeringsspråk ?ActionScript?. Programmeringsspråket är inte ursprungligen
tänkt att användas för att göra system, men jag tycker personligen att jag
lyckats bevisa att det fungerar även för det ändamålet.
?Jag tyar inte idag!? En kvalitativ studie om motivationsfaktorer till fysisk aktivitet i samarbete med Centralsjukhuset i Kristianstad.
Physical activity is required for a good health and science shows a clear connection between exercise and a lower risk for disease. Still, the physical activity among the population is far from good. It is the individuals own responsibility to exercise, but the society also has a responsibility to give opportunities to exercise for the population. The aim with the study was to investigate what motivated the group of physical active people to use the Central hospital in Kristianstad?s health program.
Axelrehabilitering med fokus på Serratus Anterior : en systematisk litteraturstudie av EMG-studier
AimThe aim of this study was to, through a systematic literature review of evidence based electromyographic (EMG) studies, identify specific exercises for rehabilitation of the Serratus Anterior muscle. The research questions were: ?Which exercises can be recommended to use to activate the Serratus Anterior?? and ?Are the recommended exercises altered between studies on individuals with and without shoulder dysfunction??. MethodThe method was a systematic literature review. First the study aim and research questions were formulated. A research protocol was then formulated with inclusion and exclusion criteria and search terms.
Work-Life Balance : En kvantitativ studie av könsskillnader bland civilekonomstudenter
Work-Life Balance (WLB) is defined as the ability to manage both work-life and non-work life successfully. WLB can be evaluated by examining individual?s experience of Work-Family Conflict (WFC) and Family-Work Conflict (FWC), both of which can be assessed by a questionnaire developed by Netemeyer, Boles and McMurrian (1996). The aim of this study was to explore if responses to the questionnaire, the amount of time spent on studies, household chores and sick leave, were gender related or not, among civil-accountants students. The survey included 138 respondents (74 woman and 64 men).
