Det här examensarbetet har haft som avsikt att försöka förstå det vidgade textbegreppet genom att synliggöra begreppets innebörd i kursplanen och läromedel för engelska årskurs nio. Vidare har arbetet syftat till att ta reda på huruvida läroböcker för engelska årskurs nio är anpassad till att undervisa utifrån det vidgade textbegreppet. Kvantitativ och kvalitativ textanalys har används som metod för att undersöka tre valda läromedelspaket: Spotlight 9 (Randall et al, 2010), Good Stuff D (Coombs et al, 2004) och PrimeTime Main 3 (Bermheden & Winblad, 2010). Dessa har jämförts och analyserats ur två huvudaspekter; nämligen vilka texttyper förekommer i samtliga läroböcker och hur är det tänkt att samtliga texter ska bearbetas. Resultatet har lett till två viktiga slutsatser: Den första slutsatsen är att det förekommer en hel del vidgade texter i samtliga läroböcker. Däremot används dessa texter huvudsakligen i syfte för att bearbeta traditionella texter. Vilket innebär att vidgade texter inte har ett eget värde och har en underordnad position i jämförelse med traditionella texter.

During 2009-2010 Sweden participated in an international military operation whose intention, according to the Swedish news media, was to fight Somali pirates. The purpose of this thesis is to study various decisions and documents behind the Swedish efforts, both military and foreign aid, regarding the matter of Somali pirates during the years 2009-2010 and analyze the results using an interpretation of the security-development-nexus-theory. The method used is text analysis based on the hermeneutic idea of understanding and interpretation.The thesis studies the international resolutions and national decisions that lead to the military operations in the Gulf of Aden and also the international strategies and national approaches regarding Sweden's assistance in the development of Somalia. The theoretical section contains an interpretation of the vast security-development-nexus-theory. The concepts of security and development are first presented separately and then collectively in terms of military security, societal security, economic security, regime security and human security.

The lack of housing in the Swedish metropolitan areas is today a well-known fact. This isespecially true for the region in and around Stockholm. Due to the large amount ofmunicipality-owned land within Stockholm municipality the area for many new housingprojects are acquired through land allocation. How much time this process of land allocationconsumes for a typical project is today not really known. Equally unknown is the exactoutcome of the process, i.e.

The purpose of this thesis is, through both a quantitative and qualitative study, to map out how the interaction appears between the established parties and the radical right-wing party, the Sweden Democrat?s (SD) and their core issue ? immigration in the Swedish parliament. By applying analytical dimensions on the parliamentary protocols regarding the immigration issue between the years of 2010-2012 this study will get an insight on how the argumentation concerning immigration has developed since their entrance into the Swedish parliament in 2010. The result shows that SD, through the rejection treatment of the established parties, fulfilled the three conditions which accordingly to the study's theoretical framework are crucial for the party's future success. In the established parties? reception of SD regarding immigration, SD is, to a large extent, left unchallenged as the established parties rather focus on integration instead of challenge SD in the immigration issue.

Mouridiyya är en senegalesisk sufiorden, som sprider sig i världen genom att medlemmarna flyttar till nya städer och nya länder. De finns också representerade i Sverige och har bl. a bildat en bönecirkel, en dahira, i Stockholm. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur mouridiska immigranter bygger upp sin organisation i Sverige, särskilt när det gäller religiös mötesverksamhet, ansvarsfördelning, ekonomi, könsperspektiv och koppling till Senegal eller Gambia, samt att undersöka om detta kan länkas till teorier om religion och migration. Vi har fått möjlighet att besöka den mouridiska gruppen och fått en att undersöka den utifrån vår frågeställning.

This essay examines the criteria for a peaceful cemetery. First there is a short history of the Swedish funeral place.

Läroplan för förskolan Lpfö 98 (2010) säger att förskolan ska ge barnet förkunskap och förståelse för vad demokrati innebär. Förskollärarens roll är därför värdefull och förskolläraren bär ett stort ansvar för att främja barnets egna åsikter, att påverka sin situation, färdighet att ta eget ansvar samt förmågan att samarbeta (Skolverket, 2010). Dagens pedagogik har sina likheter med några av historiens stora teoretiker, så som Montessori, Vygotskij och Piaget. Trots tidens gång lever vissa delar av deras pedagogik kvar i dagens förskola. Redan 1946 sågs barnet som kompetent och mottagligt (Montessori, 1946).

Concept - detail - buildingStockholm International Fairs, new main entrance I studied at the KTH School of Architecture from 1995 to 2000. After completing my studies I wanted to work in an office that had a structural way of thinking and that knew the building process; I therefore chose to work for Rosenberg Architects. I have worked on a number of projects, among them several for the Stockholm International Fairs, from the Rica Talk Hotel and Hall AE, to the new main entrance.In the projects we undertook at the School of Architecture we had to identify and draw details that were central to our concepts. I have here identified some key details that we considered to be essential for the concept in a built project; the new main entrance of the Stockholm International Fairs completed in 2013. The entrance has complex logistics with multiple intersecting flows: exhibitors, employees, journalists, VIPs and others.

I Sverige används det idag cirka 5,4% förnybara drivmedel inom transportsektorn, att jämföra med under 0,5% år 2000. Av de ickefossila drivmedlen är el något som ofta benämns som en permanent och realistisk framtida lösning. Visionen ?Stockholm ? Elbilsstad 2030? drivs av Stockholms Stad i samarbete med Fortum AB i syfte att ersätta den fossilbränsleslukande fordonsflottan.I den här studien undersöks de tekniska förutsättningarna och de eventuella vinsterna av ett storskaligt införande av elbilar. Studien har gjorts genom en modellering där parametrar som elbilens prestanda, elpris, bilens inköpspris och totala utsläpp använts.

AbstractThe purpose of this study is to investigate how seven homosexual men in the age between 18 and 26 years experience openness with their sexuality in Stockholm. We wish to investigate how these men experience and handle their everyday life in a community characterized by a heteronormative foundation. We will focus on how they handle their openness in an urban environment and if they experience any limitations dependent on the situation or surroundings they live in, and also how they handle these situations. The study is hermeneutically inspired where seven life story interviews are analyzed within the theoretical frameworks provided by Connell, Goffman, Foucault and Queer theory.The results show that the respondents? openness varies depending on a variety of factors where surroundings, situations and previous experiences are influential.

This essay examines the recent electoral success of the Sweden Democrats (SD) in the Swedish municipal election in 2006 and 2010. By using statistical methods it aims to explain which of three contradicting theoretical frameworks best can explain how a populist radical right party could penetrate one of the most stable party systems in the world. The theoretical approaches tested in this essay are: a demand-side, an external supply-side and an internal supply-side approach. By using theoretically anchored proxies to determine the effect of the contradicting theoretical approaches this essay concludes that the internal supply-side explanation measuring the local party organizational ability of the SD had the most substantial effect when it comes to explaining their recent electoral success in the Swedish municipalities, as opposed to a more commonly believed demand-side driven explanation..

This thesis raises the problem with acid mine drainage around the closed mine Finngruvan.The purpose of the investigation was to compare metal content in surface water in the areaand its catchments between year 2010 and 2003, also to make calculation of specific runoffand metal load, furthermore determine the recipients in the area. Surface water samplingwhere preformed at the same place as 2003 and also at a few other places of interest. Adigital elevation file were used in GIS to calculate the area of the watersheds in the region,observations in the field where also made. The collected data were used to make comparisons,calculations and conclusions. The result showed that the surface water 2010 had somewhatlower metal concentrations.

Bakgrund: Rök- och kemdykande personal inom räddningstjänsten har ett extremt fysiskt och psykiskt påfrestande arbete. Arbetsgivaren har lagstadgad skyldighet att tillse att personalen årligen blir hälsoundersökt och får genomgå fysisk test, s.k. rullbandstest, samt arbets-EKG med maximal belastning enligt föreskrifter. Det finns anledning att förmoda ett samband mellan förhöjt BMI och en oförmåga att klara rullbandstestet.Syfte: Syftet med studien var att se om det finns samband mellan ökande BMI och minskad förmåga att klara rullbandstest, samt om viss typ av fysisk träning ökar möjligheten för brandmän att bibehålla normal BMI. Ett mer övergripande syfte var att ta reda på om FHV fokuserar på rätt sorts data vid hälsoundersökningarna.Undersökt grupp och metod: Databasen bestod av journaldata från hälsoundersökningar åren 2007 - 2010 för 158 brandmän anställda i Trelleborgs och Vellinge kommun.
