The topic of the present paper is to investigate and identify how two translators, Reginald Horace Blyth and David Landis Barnhill, differ in their translation of Japanese haikus by Matsuo Bashô to English. Three focal points of the study are; the translation of haiku rythm, the translation of kireji (a word for separating the haiku) and the translation of kigo (seasonal word). These three components are fundamental parts of Japanese haiku poetry and haiku experience, however there are no set rules on how to translate these haiku components to English. This study contains a comparative detailed analysis of five of Bashô´s haikus, in translation by Blyth and Barnhill. Sample haikus were selected from Blyth´s books A History of Haiku Vol.

Berlinmurens fall och Tysklands enande förändrade migrationen till och inom Tyskland. Vår uppsats undersöker hur migrationsströmmarna efter Murens fall ser ut, på vilket sätt de har förändrats, varför dessa minskat och vänt. Uppsatsen byggs på en deskriptiv studie och utgår från den neoklassiska migrationsteorin med närbesläktade teorier för att söka en förklaring. Den största gruppen migranter utgjordes av Spätaussiedler/Aussiedler från främst före detta Sovjetunionen samt Übersiedler från det forna Östtyskland. Migrationen till Tyskland har under tidigare år också karaktäriserats av arbetskraftsmigration och Gästarbetare, vilka hade en uppgång från andra världskriget fram till den ekonomiska krisen år 1973 då migrationen övergick till karaktären av familjeåterförening.

The results of this study show that the respondents believe that a professional social work is performed by someone who has training and experience in the field.

Trä var en väldigt viktig råvara under medeltiden, och användes till alla möjliga olika ändamål. Tillgången var dock inte obegränsad, och som ovanstående paragrafer visar, var man tvungen att reglera skogen och tillgången till virke i lag.Min egen nyfikenhet för ämnet kommer sig av ett begynnande trähantverksintresse. Jag har läst mycket engelsk litteratur om träslöjd och snickeri, och som medeltidsarkeolog funderar man hela tiden över hur de gjorde tekniska lösningar på den tiden. Jag fascineras av de olika träslagens egenskaper, den hårda och tunga eken, den starka och böjliga asken och de fina sniderier man kan göra i lind, men när man kommer till dagens trävaruhus finns nästan bara gran och fur att köpa. På grund av detta beslutade jag mig för att undersöka hur mångfalden av träslag såg ut under den skånska medeltiden, och hur man använde dem..

Social sustainability is often regarded as a solution to social problems in general. In this study, on the contrary, social sustainability is conceived as a socially constructed concept and the result of a certain way of looking at the world, the human being and the ideal society.

What meaning and substance social sustainability is contained with as well as the effects that are produced by these conceptualizations is explored and analyzed. Also, the study examines the encounter between political policy?s and judgments on the one hand and the experiences and preferences held by the municipality?s elder inhabitants on the other..

This essay examines the possibilities of writing a counter history about Anne Charlotte Leffler that does not have - like most of the previous studies and literary histories upon Leffler - the Swedish boundaries or the Swedish language as its model. That is to say that this essay, in opposition to most of the hitherto writings on Anne Charlotte Leffler, values the international reception as high as the Swedish reception. It does so by undertaking a case study based on the German review Deutsche Rundschau, which published six short stories by and three articles about Anne Charlotte Leffler between 1884 and 1894. The short stories and the articles in Deutsche Rundschau are compared with two other documents of reception that contribute to the understanding of the German reception of Leffler. The examination shows that the focus on the international reception can contribute to illuminate aspects of Anne Charlotte Lefflers authorship that previously have been disregarded.

In Sweden the social assistance from a historical perspective, has been a part of the social legislation, since the 18th century. In that time called poor relief. Through the centuries this has established the social assistance we have today. With focus on the child, we have attempted to illustrate how the social workers consider the child perspective when they are dealing with the social assistance. We wanted to get a view of how the social worker reasons about needs the children have and how they can see that the benefit has been provided for.
