Uppsatsen syfte är att undersöka hur gymnasiepedagoger bedriver religionskunskap och om olika utövanden och trosföreställningar i en och samma religion framkommer i undervisningen. För att komma fram till ett svar har kvalitativa intervjuer gjorts med pedagoger. Det finns olika synsätt på och olika definitioner av religion, vilket litteraturen visar i uppsatsen. Litteraturen fastställer också att det finns olika utövanden i en och samma religion. Ninian Smart (1989) menar att för att förstå en religion krävs det även att man studerar hur religionen praktiseras av människorna. Uppsatsen behandlar även litteratur om hur skolans roll ser ut. Birger Lendahls (1986) anser att förståelse kan erhållas vid möten mellan elever och människor från olika religioner.

Our study emanates from a socio?cultural perspective on learning and aim to describe and comparetwo different upper secondary school classes and their work with information literacy as a socialpractice in project work and their use of ICT (information and communication technologies). Thequestions at issue in the study are; how the pupils handle information seeking processes, whatdifferences and similarities can be observed in the two social practices and which consequences thesedifferences have in an project work environment.Our choice of research methods to collect data consists of both observations and interviews withpupils and teachers. The interviews performed in the study can be categorized as qualitativeinterviews, and in addition we recorded and took notes during the interviews and transcribed thematerial.The study shows the importance of a good learning environment when it comes to working withinformation seeking processes, that the instructor?s role is of outmost importance and that the pupilsfundamental knowledge of information seeking processes and their information literacy are keysuccess factors when it comes to project work linked to ICT to be productive.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the work situation for temporary workers within the field of journalism. During the past decade, influential external forces such as commercialization, new technologies and increased competition have brought great changes within the industry. As a result, employers value flexibility of manpower, not least to reduce cost, where the flexible employee is usually leased by the media company from a manpower company. Today it is a normal practice with manpower companies and this way of hourly paid form of employment. Although the temporary worker can sometimes benefit from this kind of employment, there are also significant setbacks like job insecurity.

AbstractIT can facilitate communication among individuals and connect people across geographical distances. On the contrary, citizens of the society who do not use communication technologies to some extent might feel excluded from the information society. As elderly citizens are already in a vulnerable position for the digital divide, communication technology becomes an important tool for interacting with friends and family. The social situation of elderly, 60 years of age and older, is a topic of current interest since they are the fastest growing age group in the world today. Further, social interaction becomes more important among elderly since it has a positive effect on well- being.

Butiksdesignen är av stor vikt för en butik när det gäller att få kunder att stanna länge i butiken och därigenom även köpa mer. Studien behandlar hur butiker genom butiksdesignen kan förbättra sin försäljning. Syftet med studien är att beskriva inomhusdesignen i två butikskedjor och därefter jämföra likheter och skillnader mellan dessa. Detta för att få en förståelse för vad som fungerar och varför, respektive vad som inte fungerar och varför inte. Målsättningen är att presentera rekommendationer för åtgärder som företag genom butiksdesignen kan använda sig av för att förbättra försäljningen.

The essay?s main focus has been to investigate and analyze the political actions behind the 2015?s grade compromise; an agreement to introduce grades from the fourth year in primary school. Through a game-theory analysis, mainly based in Leif Lewin?s and Jörgen Herman's research on rationality in politics, this study examined the grade debate  during a fifteen year period. The primary task has thereby been to explain the grade compromise through game-theory.

This report describes the results of the project "Concept development of jet engine inspection plugs" carried out in the spring of 2008. The work was done at the department of product definition at the company Volvo Aero in Trollhättan. The objective of the work was to develop concepts for a "Volvo-unique" inspection plug. The work is part of Volvo Aero's focus on proprietary (self-developed) technologies. Inspection plugs can be found on virtually all aircraft engines and gas turbines.

The use of Web applications is a growing area. While the possibilities and functionalities are increasing, so is the complexity of them, together with the threats against them because the complexity also opens up the application to vulnerabilities. It is therefore important for developers to know how a web application can be developed with security in mind.This study?s intention has been to create an introductory documentation of what kind of techniques that exists which can produce higher security, which methods there can be within the development process and what to think about when programming secure web applications. In this paper we have investigated how theoretical manuals in the IT security department handles that area, and interviewed two developers from two different companies to see how they use security in their web applications.The study has an exploratory technical perspective and does not explain how to practically use and interconnecting different security-enhancing technologies, but is more suppose to give a first glance at what is available and sow a seed for those interested to continue reading further about the subject.

Uppsatsens ämne berör karaktärer i tv-serien Downton Abbey och deras förhållande till kläder. Tre karaktärer jag tolkar som konservativa ställs i kontrast till tre karaktärer som i högre grad förespråkar moderniteten. Genom att jämföra hur karaktärerna via kläder medvetet och omedvetet gestaltar sin syn på samhällsutvecklingen undersöker jag hur stora likheter som framkommer mellan dem. Syftet är att analysera hur individens samhällssyn gestaltas genom kläderna. Analysen utförs med en metod inspirerad av ikonografi där nyckelscener från serien betraktas utifrån en rent beskrivande vinkel såväl som i relation till samtida kontexter.

Detta är ett examensarbete som undersöker barns och vuxnas tankar kring barns rum, med frågan:Hur skulle barns rum utformas om barnen fick bestämma och hur tänker barnens föräldrar om utformningen?Syftet med undersökningen är att belysa barns rum hemma. Med utgångspunkt i drömrum och genom designpedagogiska workshops med vuxna och barn, undersöks miljön som skapas i barns rum och på så sätt kan också en barnrumsdiskurs utkristalliseras. I förlängningen kan denna undersökning ge ny insikt i hur vi ordnar rum för barn och låter barn vara medskapare av miljö. Det är viktigt att betona att det bara är en barnrumsdiskurs bland många.

Ursprunget till detta projektarbete är det rådande informationssamhälle vi nu befinner oss i. Detta innebär förändringar rörande både kontorsutformning och arbetssätt. Examensarbetet har gjorts för Martela AB. Martela är Finlands största tillverkare av möbler för offentliga miljöer och fann idén med framtida kontorsförvaring intressant. De har själva utfört projekt inom området, samt ser stundande förändring på de svenska kontoren.

AbstractLean production has become one common concept within industries to make the work more effective and to meet today?s hard competition. A challenge for Chinese production is the threat from new low cost countries. It will become very difficult to succeed to produce to a lower cost than these countries; this led to that Chinese companies must develop new strategies, according to Lee and Zhou (2000). This will put China in front of new challenges and new strategies can be needed to retain their strong competitive advantages.
