This essay aims to examine what subject positions are possible within the discourse of relationship anarchy. Through semi-structured interviews with four people who define themselves as relationship anarchists I've made a discourse analysis to determine how these relationship anarchists explain what, in the discourse they?re in, is described as an relationship anarchistic way of being, what isn?t and how they relate to this. Relationship anarchy is described as an ideology based on freedom. It is about the right to define their relationships as they like, as something constantly changing and that does not hold a specific value based on its label.

När jag har varit ute i gymnasieskolan på praktik har jag mött elever med väldigt olika attityder och inställningar till matematik. Dessa attityder kan ha följt med eleverna länge, då de möter matematiken för första gången i förskolan. När eleverna sedan når gymnasiet är de olika motiverade för att lära sig matematik och som lärare kan det vara svårt att veta hur man ska motivera sina elever till att lära sig matematik. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie är att sammanställa och analysera vilka yttre- och intre faktorer som påverkar elevers motivation i ämnet matematik, för att sedan kunna diskutera vad dessa faktorer kan ha för inverkan på elever motivation på gymnasiet.Litteraturstudien visar att det finns flertalet yttre- och inre faktorer som kan påverka elevers motivation för att lära sig matematik under skolgången och att det finns olika teorier om när elevers motivation för att lära sig matematik sjunker. Dessa faktorer har olika stor påverkan på elevernas motivation på gymnasiet och de flesta av faktorerna kommer att kunna påverka eleverna även när de går på gymnasiet.

The overall aim with this study is to elucidate outdoor education as an education method and on the basis of that illustration to examine active educators vision on it as a way to motivate students' learning. This study is based on a literature component and a qualitative study through interviews five teachers.The results of the interviews show how to interpret the motivation and how to work with students' motivation. As well as outdoor education as part of the activity.  The interviews show the importance of outdoor education can be to increase students'motivation for learning. They also show the importance of outdoor education is for student learning and test scores have shown the effectiveness of student learning through outdoor education.

Motivation är drivkraften till mänskligt agerande, värderande och produktivitet. I skolan är detta ett aktuellt begrepp då motivation till lärande är en betydande del av en elevs utveckling inom skolan. Lärare får därmed dagligen försöka hjälpa elever skapa motivation till lärande för att de ska klara de utsatta målen som finns i läroplanen. Det är en svår uppgift att som lärare stödja elever i deras skapande av motivation till lärande. Begreppet motivation till lärande är inget outforskat område, däremot ett viktigt fenomen som jag tyvärr känner inte uppmärksammas nog mycket inom lärarutbildningen eller tydliggörs i de beslut som tas inom skolan.

Föreliggande uppsats undersöker sambandet mellan självbild ochanvändning av inlärningsstrategier samt deras relation med motivationoch autonomi hos inlärare av svenska som andraspråk.

I samband med detta ges enöverblick i ämnet svenska som andraspråk samt hur kursplanen i ämnetbehandlar självbild, inlärningsstrategier, motivation och autonomi. Somunderlag för studien ligger kvalitativa intervjuer med fyraandraspråksinlärare.

AimThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of MotVikt´s obesity-treatment program on eight severely obese subjects, concerning Body Mass Index, Waist-Circumference and Weight after three and a half months and Sense of Coherence, Body Image and Self-experienced Health after three months. The question in focus was: Did MotVikt´s obesity-treatment program have any effects concerning the factors mentioned above?MetodInformation was collected with questionnaires that were filled out by the eight subjects, three men and five women, who participated in MotVikt´s last round of treatment. Data concerning waist-circumference, weight and BMI were provided by MotVikt. The questionnaires that were used to get information about Sense of Coherence, Body Image and Self-Experienced health were SOC-29, BSQ and IQOLA SF-36.ResultatThe average BMI in the group has decreased with 2,9 kg/m2, from 39,7 till 36,8.

To investigate the possibilities for effective soil tillage, that could imply lower costs, lower negative environmental impact and in addition a meaningful occupation for foraging pigs, a field experiment was carried out in Gränna, Småland, during growing season 2006. The experiment contained two treatments that were repeated three times and were carried out on a couch grass-infected fallow on a light soil close to Sweden?s second largest lake, Vättern. Ploughing was one treatment and pig rooting followed by ploughing, was the other. The experiment was conducted according to the guidelines of organic growing and seedbed preparation was done the same way in the two treatments. The pigs, three groups of five half-year old Linderödssvin (an old Swedish breed), was encouraged to perform an even tillage by strip-grazing, i.e.

BACKGROUND: Today?s societal changes, including high rate of change and increasing information flows, are increasing the demand on the individual mental capacity. It becomes increasingly difficult to analytically process all the different dilemmas and everyday decisions as individuals have a limited mental capacity available to make these decisions. Thus, it has been suggested that ego-depleted relies more heavily on intuition, which is less burdensome, when making decision. However little is known about to what extent intuitive decisions differ from analytic.

The purpose of this study was to explore the connection between substance abuse and completed/attempted suicide. Central questions were who the substance abusers who commit suicidal actions were. The study also tries to find out which factors that contributes to this behaviour and why it is so common amongst substance abusers. All from the point of view of three scientist and three persons working with treatment of addicts who were interviewed. The results of these interviews were analysed on an individual level with a psychological theory.

Examensarbetet är en kvalitativ studie i form av intervjuer med erkänt duktiga tränare. Studien har på ett induktivt sätt undersökt hur dessa tränare praktiserar för att upprätthålla en positiv motivation hos sina aktiva. Resultatet visade att fyra av fem tränare är uppgiftsorienterade vilket innebär att de fokuserar på individens individuella framsteg, istället för på resultatet. Detta tillvägagångssätt bidrar till en högre inre motivation hos de aktiva, vilket forskning vidare har visat leder till att de aktiva fortsätter idrotta längre upp i åldern. Samtliga tränare arbetade med individuella samtal och påpekar att detta är ett viktigt instrument för att få aktiva att komma över förluster och bibehålla en positiv motivation.

It?s known that the drug information patients get at discharge from hospital is often insufficient. Patients? ignorance of which drug they use and how to take them can lead to drug related problems, can cause suffering and heavy expenses.The aim of this study was to shed light on the patients? understanding for drug information, which was given at discharge from hospital. The literature survey was used as a method and based upon a systematic choice of scientific articles, which were found in different databases during the period of April 1 to May 31, 2008.

IntroductionIn this study, we have explained the complexities of social media, as it is still a relatively unexplored area. With the rapidly growing use of social media in recent years, companies have chosen to establish themselves in social networks to advertise themselves and communicate with their customers. In this study we analyze IKEA Sweden and their use of social media on the national market, where focus lies upon IKEA Sweden Facebook-page. The study intends to find out how the company uses social media as a marketing and communication tool and also analyzes the relations and conversations that occur on the Facebook-page. Purpose and research questionsThe purpose of the study was to gain a deeper understanding of how a large Swedish company as IKEA has chosen to use social media and how it's perceived by them. We also intended to find out how IKEA Sweden uses social media in their daily work and how the company communicates through this media channel.

Syftet med studien är att få en ökad kunskap om vad som motiverar elever i årskurs fem i lärarledda lärandesituationer. Valet att utföra studien i årskurs fem beror på att vi under vår studietid har mött elever i denna årskurs och har ställt oss undrande till vad det är som motiverar dem. Motivation är ett begrepp som har genomsyrat lärarutbildningen och på grund av detta ville vi veta mer om hur eleverna uppfattar begreppet. Flera teoretiker menar att elevers motivation till lärande kan påverkas av såväl inre som yttre faktorer samt diverse behov. Jenner (2004) anser att det även finns en tredje faktor där eleverna tycks pendla mellan faktorerna.

Equal treatment in school is an on-going debate in the Swedish society. At the same time teachers around the country struggles to make ends meet because of a heavy workload. Voices have been raised that teachers no longer have the time to actually be teachers since they get piled up with paper work and other administrative tasks. However, schools are bound by law to take action against harassments and discrimination of any kind. There is also an overall policy in the Swedish national curriculum that every school must embrace diversity and actively teach students about solidarity and respect.
