AFK : chatt- och SMS-språk på väg in i klassrummet?
The new technology brings new opportunities for the language. The language, which is used when chatting or messaging, is full of linguistic devices, which facilitates writing and saves time and space. The purpose of my investigation is to find out if the chat- and- messaging- language is affecting the students' way of writing in school.To find out about this I have examined 79 essays written by students in grade 9 during the national test 2006. I have also to found out if the occurrence of these features differed between boys and girls. In addition, I have let the same students who have written the essays answer questions regarding their chatting- and messaging- habits.The conclusions I have attained through my investigation shows that 58 % of the students are using features which are typical in chat and messaging language.
Att lita till läsaren : Om impressionistiskt berättande i Stig Claessons författarskap med utgångspunkt i romanen Brev till en hembygdsgård
The objective of this paper ? Trusting the reader: On impressionistic narrating in Stig Claesson's writings with the novel Brev till en hembygdsgård as starting point ? is to examine narrative techniques used by the Swedish author Stig Claesson, specifically some which fall within the broad field known as literary impressionism: e.g. omission, repetition, juxtaposition, episodic narration and how access to the narrator?s as well as individual characters' consciousness is handled.The method used for the study will be that of illustrative comparison. The analysis will seek its theoretical grounds in the works by Gerard Genette and Jonathan Culler.
Socialt stöd efter våldtäkt
The focus of this study is on the nature of social support from the rape survivor's perspective. Research has shown that social support is essential to the survivor's ability to recover from rape and that it acts as a powerful tool for the survivor to effectively deal with the PTSD symptoms that follow rape. The research also shows that survivors often receive or interpret reactions after a rape as negative. Hence, these reactions can be detrimental tothe healing process.Qualitative interviews with six women on their experience of social support after rape form the base of this study and Anthony Giddens terms ontological security, fateful moments and bodily self-management are a part of the analytical apparatus. Rape is commonly analyzed from a feminist perspective.

Sjukgymnastens definition och val av behandlingar vid benhinneinflammation: en enkätstudie
Benhinneinflammation är en av de vanligaste underbensdiagnoserna. Idag finns ingen enhetlig definition på begreppet och orsaken till besvären är okänd. Detta gör det svårt att behandla benhinneinflammation. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att beskriva sjukgymnastens syn på begreppet benhinneinflammation och dess orsak, samt vilka behandlingsmetoder sjukgymnaster använder i öppenvården och vilken profession de tror att denna patientgrupp uppsöker. En webbenkät skickades ut till 154 sjukgymnaster på vårdcentraler och privata kliniker i Sverige.
De tre Arktis : en studie av Sveriges geopolitiska syn på Arktis ur kritiskt perspektiv
This essay explores the Swedish state?s geopolitical view and creation, of the spatial spaces in and of the Arctic. With a critical geopolitical framework, a discourse analysis is conducted on the Swedish strategy for the arctic region, with the ambition to unfold the underlining spatial spaces, actors and dramas that this discourse creates. The result of this analysis shows that Sweden creates three different Arctic spaces within its geopolitical discourse; a Swedish Arctic, a Nearby Arctic and a Regional Arctic. This has major political consequences, which will be illuminated in the essay.
Svarte Mosse - en stadsdelspark i Göteborg :
Sammanfattning
Park och Naturförvaltningen i Göteborg har tagit fram en parkplan för
Biskopsgården där man pekar på en möjlig utveckling av närområdet
runt sjön Svarte Mosse. Mitt mål med detta examensarbete har varit att
utifrån en förståelse för de lokala förhållandena utveckla ett program med
kriterier för hur området skulle kunna utvecklas samt göra ett förslag på
gestaltning.
Efterforskningar bland olika källor gav ett generellt svar på vad som är
en bra park. Genom att studera statistik, dagstidningar och prata med
boende i stadsdelen så konstaterar jag att det karaktäristiska för Norra
Biskopsgården är resurssvaghet, trångboddhet, hög otrygghet och en stor
andel unga. Detta tror jag sammanfattningsvis gör utemiljön viktigare i så
kallade utsatta områden.
Jag valde att arbeta med ett grönområde som angränsar till en typ av
stadsstruktur som har blivit kraftigt kritiserat för utemiljön. Därför valde
jag att göra en bakgrundstudie av modernistiska förorter.
Det delade klassrummet : Det sociala rummets betydelse för särskiljande

Kvinnors rättigheter och icke-statliga Organisationer, a perfect match?
Since the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) was adopted in 1979 there has been evident progress in the area of women's rights in great parts of the world, although this progress is still foremost concentrated to the Westernhemisphere. In Argentina, the work with gender equality and women's rights set of strongly during the last decade. The country has ratified the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and the Inter-American Convention on the Prevention, Punishmentand Eradication of Violence against Women "Convention of Belem Do Para" but still women and girls are victims of structural discrimination and serious impunity of their rights on a daily basis.The current situation proves that the positive changes within the context of international and national law do not necessary reach out to the population to the same extent. In the light of the lacking popular involvement and knowledge of their rights, a different type of solution is desirable. Therefore it would be of interest to examinate the role of Non Governmental Organisations (NGO:s) when it comes to implementing human rights in the society and ?the every day life?.

Skäggetorp - ett förslag hur stadsdelen kan integreras med övriga staden
Stadsdelen Skäggetorp är en förort cirka 4 kilometer från Linköpings centrum
som uppfördes under miljonprogrammet det vill säga mellan 1965-74. Under dessa
tio år uppfördes drygt en miljon bostäder i Sverige med avsikten att bygga bort
den bostadsbrist och trångboddhet som då rådde. Efteråt har byggandet och
stadsdelarna från epoken kommit att kritiserats hårt för att bland annat ha
monotona och torftiga miljöer. Utemiljöerna var något som allt som oftast blev
eftersatt vid byggandet på grund av att det rationaliserades och
serietillverkning skedde. Förorterna från miljonprogrammet har även kritiserats
på grund av den segregering som allt som oftast skett i dessa stadsdelar.

Intäktsmodeller inom affärssystemsbranschen : Vilken modell ger mest hävstång i leverantörernas intäkter?
The purpose of this study is to look at the line extensions of the Swedish dairy company Skånemejerier. We have chosen to focus on how trends in ecological products and Functional Food influence the line extensions. The competition in the food sector have made it harder for companies to be seen in the market area and the companies have to make their brands more visible. That is one of the reasons why companies work with line extensions. The study is based on a qualitative approach because we wanted to come closer to our subject in order to establish a greater understanding for the case itself.
