Purpose: The purpose with this study is to analyze if the Swedish authorities and media had different ways of discussing the new influenza, in connection with the pandemic classification June 11, 2009. This is the first time an influenza has been classified as a pandemic since the Hongkong-influenza in1968. Methodology: The method used for the study is discourse analysis, aqualitative method that gives the opportunity to study not only what is said, but how things are said. In this thesis, the aim is to study how the image ofthe new influenza is transmitted via the texts. The texts have been analysed based on:- General and underlying themes- Words and concepts used- Persons/sources quoted or referred to- Historical connections/historical backgroundTheoretical perspectives: The study is based on theories about socialconstructionism and discourse analysis.

Det övergripande planeringsproblem som behandlas i detta arbete är polariteten mellan stat och kommun i den fysiska samhällsplaneringen. Detta undersöks genom att studera hur områden för landsbygdsutveckling i strandnära läge (LIS) tillämpas inom områden som är av riksintresse enligt 3 och 4 kap, Miljöbalken. Genom att peka ut områden för LIS i områden av riksintresse bryter kommunerna det statliga monopolet. Det som undersöks i detta arbete är alltså förhållandet mellan statens och kommunernas intressen, som blir extra tydlig eftersom strandskyddet och riksintressen härstammar från olika paradigm, miljö- respektive planeringsparadigmet, och därmed två olika lagområden trots att de båda, numer, finns i Miljöbalken. Syftet med arbetet är att analysera förhållandet mellan stat och kommun genom att studera de problem som kan uppstå vid utpekande av LIS i områden av riksintressen. Arbetet syftar även till att studera skillnaderna mellan miljö- och planeringsparadigmen inom den fysiska planeringen. För att undersöka detta har arbetet följande frågeställningar: ? Vilka avvägningar görs mellan utpekade områden för strandskyddsupphävande och riksintresseområden? ? Vad baseras invändningar från länsstyrelserna i yttrandena på? ? Hur fungerar relationen mellan länsstyrelsen och kommunerna i realiteten? ? Vilka konflikter kan skönjas i planeringens praktiska tillämpning mellan miljö- och planeringsparadigmen? För att kunna studera planeringsproblemet och besvara frågeställningarna har olika metoder använts.

The work with Agenda 21 resulted in a larger focus on local participation and deliberation. The Swedish implementation of Agenda 21 is a result of these local governments´ political agendas and policies.The purpose with this paper is to examine the relationship between the citizen and the local government. It focuses on three theories of citizenship and how the view of "the environmental aware citizen?; in the local government?s municipalities policies differ and from which theory of citizenship do they come from.The analysis is of a valuing and comparing nature. The municipalities´ web pages have been the main source to generate an understanding of their view on the normative environmental work.

The society strives for sustainable development, in the construction industry it is expressed through sustainable building. Energy and LCC analyzes increases the ability to make conscious decisions in the process. A problem in the construction industry is that energy and LCC analysis is not used to the desired extent, as they are perceived as complicated and time consuming. The report aims to achieve a more sustainable building through increased use of energy and LCC analyzes.The goal is to show how BIM can be used to improve the efficiency of the energy and LCC analyzes.The study was conducted with a literature review and a case study to answer which information that is required in a BIM model to perform energy and LCC analyzes. The study also shows which software can be used in BIM based energy and LCC analyzes and how the analyzes can be carried out efficiently.The result shows that effective analyzes may be performed if the BIM-model contains the relevant information for making analyzes.

Method: The thesis is based on literary studies. By combining theories and empirics regarding the health care market, competition and profit, a deeper understanding of the aspects important for the chosen subject, is created. Combined with official reports and the new legislation, an analysis is formed.

Uppsatsen handlar om hur olika diskurser karaktäriserar Malmö stads planeringstänkande i de tre undersökta översiktsplanerna under 2000-talet. De fyra diskurserna som studeras är den globala staden, entreprenörsstaden, kunskapsstaden och postmodernistiskt planeringsteori. De tre första diskurserna behandlar fenomen om städer och regioner utifrån en global informationsekonomi. Den fjärde och sista diskursen är en gren inom planeringsteorin som ställer sig kritisk till den modernistiska synen på planering och planerare. Planering som postmodernism är likt sina föregångare, normativ i sin karaktär och försöker att lösa problem som har tillkommit i en postkolonial värld. Malmö är en stad med en historia som industristad och som nu försöker etablera sig som en kunskapsstad.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how the subject Swedish is being constructed in syllabuses for the subject. The study includes the syllabuses for the subject Swedish from the Swedish curriculums Lgr 11 and Lpo 94. These are investigated in order to show what conceptions of the subject, i.e. the purpose, content and work models of the subject you can spot in these, and in what direction the perception of knowledge has changed. For the analysis Faircloughs critical discourse analysis and three dimensional model is being used.

Detta examensarbetet är skrivet på magisterprogrammet för Fysisk planering vid Blekinge Tekniska Högskola och omfattar 30 högskolepoäng. Syftet med uppsatsen är att visa ett förslag för en framtida sträckning av ett system av spårbilar och stationer i Tyresö. Arbetet utgår från konkreta mål, riktlinjer och visioner som formulerats på internationell, nationell, regional och kommunal nivå gällande hållbar utveckling och transportsystem. Dessa visioner stämmer ofta dåligt överens med den faktiska utveckling vi kan se idag vilket gör det mycket intressant att hitta alternativa och kompletterande lösningar till dagens transportsystem. På global nivå efterlyser FN miljövänligare, tystare och mer användarvänliga transport- och kommunikationssystem eftersom dagens transportsektor, där bilen står i fokus, förbrukar stora mängder icke-förnybar energi, mark- och vattenresurser samt missgynnar flera grupper i samhället. Det nationella transportpolitiska målet innebär att transportpolitiken ska säkerställa en samhällsekonomiskt effektiv och långsiktigt hållbar transportförsörjning, ett mål som SIKA, Statens Institut för Kommunikationsanalys, i dagsläget bedömer vara mycket svårt att uppnå. På regional nivå menar utvecklingsplanen för stockholmsregionen, RUFS 2010, att regionen idag riskerar en tudelning som en följd av det hårt ansträngda vägnätet och efterlyser bättre kollektivtrafik. Statliga utredningar gjorda av SIKA och RUFS 2010 pekar ut en satsning på spårbilar som mycket intressant för att komma tillrätta med de högt ställda transportpolitiska målen och som komplement till dagens bilberoende transportsystem.

One of the most commonly used methods for analysis of polyphenols is the Folin-Ciocalteu (FC) method, where the FC reagent has been reported to interfere with some substances in fruit juices. The interfering substance that is present in the highest amount in most fruit juices is ascorbic acid. In this study, the total phenolic content (TPC) of three fruit juices was analysed by the FC method as well as with an enzymatic method with hydrogen peroxide oxidoreductase type II (HRP) for comparison. To investigate how the interfering ascorbic acid affects the TPC, juice samples were analysed after removal and addition, respectively, of ascorbic acid. The samples were analysed with HPLC both before and after the extraction phase of the FC method.

The aim of this thesis was to examin how librarians arepresented in the Swedish daily newspaper Dagens Nyheter.My research questions were: How are librarians and thelibrarian profession presented in articles in DagensNyheter? and What discourses can be identified in thearticles?I have analysed 69 articles from between 2012-01-01 and2013-01-01 by using discourse analysis as both theory andmethod.Three discourses emerged through the analysis: discourseabout librarians and litterature, discourse about librariansand censorship and discourse about librarians and thelabour market.The conclusions drawn from this study are that librariansare strongly associated with litterture and reading and withthe labour market. There are also clear tendencies thatlibrarians whish to change the old, stereotypical images thatthey are associated with, and do so by using humor..

A new curriculum, Lgr11, was introduced in Sweden during the Autumn Semester 2011. My aim in this paper is to investigate whether an integrated and interdisciplinary approach is possible within this new Swedish curriculum.Firstly, I will describe the approach to integration and interdisciplinary work used in the new Swedish curriculum. Secondly, I will analyze whether the curriculum allows for an integrated and interdisciplinary work.The method used in this paper is a qualitative textual analysis and analyzing the new curriculum´s approach to integration and interdisciplinary education has been the focus. The analysis has been based on the explicit and implicit basics of integration and interdisciplinary work in the curriculum.I assume theories of subject integration and curricula to come up with my results in the paper.To conclude, the results of my analysis of the curriculum show that an integrated and interdisciplinary approach is not only possible, but it is also each school Principal's responsibility as well as part of each teacher`s objective. The Principal's responsibility is to ensure that the integration and interdisciplinary approach is undertaken in school. The curriculum is clear that teachers should let their students work interdisciplinary as well as vary their methods of teaching.

The demand för Swedish pork meat is increasing every day. This leads to agricultural farming having to develop as an industry, with larger and more rationalised units to make the farming more effective and to raise the financial profit. The consequence of this is that it affects the animals when their surroundings become more industrial. The pig´s natural behaviour becomes restricted by the limitations of the facilities, which leads to them becoming understimulated. Helena Kummel, a teacher at Munkagård upper secondary school and also an educated animal inspector has developed a prototype that could possibly replace the pig´s natural rooting behaviour inside the barn. The porpuse of this report is to study "bökboxen" in the gilts´actual living enviroment, through qualitative- and quantitative analysis.

The purpose of this study is to examine the critically raised concern on whether the Liberal party of Sweden, in policies regarding the compulsory school, really represents a liberal policy or if it actually functions more as an ambassador for conservative ideals. An ideology analysis is employed for the purpose of answering the research question, which asks if the party?s changed viewpoint on the compulsory school between the years of 1990 and 2010 could be understood in terms of an ideological alternation. The analysis is carried out by an examination where the party?s policies are linked to common definitions of the two political ideologies, with the assistance of an analytical tool consistent of a series of educational philosophies.

Film is a tool frequently used by teachers, but it is often limited to showing students how historical time periods looked like, or as a way for students to search for historical inaccuracies. The aim of this essay is to study whether it is possible to use two films based on the legend of Robin Hood as a way to teach students how to contextualize gender history. Through the use of film analysis and gender analysis of two different versions of Robin Hood, The adventures of Robin Hood and Robin Hood: Prince of thieves were analyzed. The study has shown that it is indeed possible to use film as a source material for the study of gender history, and that film can tell us a lot about the contemporary view of gender, masculinity and femininity. The didactical analysis concluded that there was no theoretical objection of using film as a source material; however, there are some things that a teacher should be aware of. Although film may be a good way to create a varied study environment and benefit students with reading- and writing disabilities, there is a risk that time-constraints and lack of knowledge of film and its methodology on, behalf of both teachers and students, may make it hard to implement.

The title of the final thesis is Filmic landscapes ? film as representation, tool and practice in landscape architecture. The aim of the final thesis is to investigate how film as a medium can be used to describe, interpret and manipulate the understanding of a place and its design. What kind of aspects of landscape architecture can film as a medium in a design-process emphasize or create? How can filming, as a self-standing act, contribute to the understanding of the landscape and a landscape-related design-process? The thesis is divided into two parts, one theoretical part that consists of an essay, and one practical part that consists of a 11minute long filmic reflection of the ?Glass-houses?in Kosta, Sweden, created by the Swedish designer and architect Bruno Mathsson.
