This comparative study explores Swedish and Danish teachers? perspectives on students with intellectual disabilities and their education. The research focuses on the 1960s, a pivotal decade marked by paradigm shifts from medical to socio-constructivist views on intellectual disabilities. Through qualitative text analysis of articles from the Nordic Journal of Special Education (Nordisk tidskrift f?r specialpedagogik), this study examines how teachers described these students, the prevailing norms versus perceived deviations, and their proposed teaching strategies.

The empiric material consists of six questionnaires answered by students at the teacher training with Swedish at the upper secondary school as their first topic.

Buller från vindkraft är en viktig begränsande faktor för utbyggnaden. Syftet med denna studie var att genom djupintervjuer undersöka hur närboende vid en nyetablerad stor vindkraftpark i skogsterräng upplever ljudet och andra förändringar i miljön. Intervjuer gjordes med elva personer i närheten av vindkraftparken Jädraås i Gästrikland med 66 verk. Beräknad ljudnivå vid deltagarnas hus är mellan 33 och 42,5 dB(A). Resultatet av en tematisk analys, visade att upplevelsen av ljudet kan vara kopplad till ljudnivån, vindriktningen, förväntningar på ljudmiljön och ljudkänslighet.

Kolorektal cancer (CRC) är en av de vanligaste cancersjukdomarna i världen med cirka 1 miljon nya detekterade fall per år. Special AT-rich sequence-binding protein1 (SATB1) är ett celltyp-specifikt kärnmatrix-associerat DNA-bindande protein, vilket utgörs av AT-rika DNA sekvenser. Det har tidigare demonstrerats att en annan medlem i SATB-familjen, SATB2, uttrycks på ett vävnadsspecifikt sätt i normal mukosa i nedre mag-tarmkanalen och i CRC. ?-catenin är en intracellulär mediator i Wnt/?-catenin signaleringsvägen, som spelar en viktig roll i kolorektal carcinogenes.

Syftet med denna studie är att beskriva och analysera hur läraren och elevassistenten arbetar för att skapa inkludering, av elever som läser enligt särskolans läroplan, i en ordinarie gymnasieklass. Vi har med hjälp av de kvalitativa forskningsmetoderna, deltagande observationer och intervjuer, samlat data för att beskriva och analysera hur det inkluderande arbetet ser ut på en Waldorfskola. I studien har vi undersökt hur läraren och elevassistenten skapar goda möjligheter för inkludering. Vi har även undersökt hur läraren och elevassistenten arbetar vid genomgångar och instruktioner i klassrummet samt hur de planerar, utvärderar samt reflekterar kring den inkluderande skolmiljön. De slutsatser och resultat som vi har kunnat dra är att när en skola anser att alla elevers olikheter berikar skolan så är arbetet med inkludering inte något ansträngande och svårt utan något naturligt..

There is no doubt about the significance of nature on the health of human beings. Not only is the tree an element of nature that is of great value to our survival, it also serves as a valuable object and symbol of human beings? enjoyment and appreciation of the environment.

The purpose with this study was to find out if tailbiting pigs have a higher or lower daily weight gain than non-tailbiting pigs in the same pen before tailbitingbehaviour occur. The purpose was also to compare the occurrence of tailbiting between different breeds (Swedish Landrace, Yorkshire and Hampshire). Tailbiting among pigs has been a problem for pigfarmers a long time. Tailbiting means reduced animal welfare for the pig and economical loss for the farmer. The results of this study are based on statistical analyses.

But even the British preacher George Scott and later the Swedish layman Carl-Olof Rosenius became aware of the importance of networking. They all felt a call from God to preach a message of redemption and restoration.

Syftet med studien är att se hur upprättade åtgärder överensstämmer med resultatet på det nationella provet i svenska i skolår 5, samt att studera vilken typ av åtgärder som nedtecknats. Syftet är också att granska specialpedagogens roll vid arbetet med de elever som inte nådde målen. De teoretiska ramar vi valt för denna studie baserar sig på författares och forskares böcker och forskningsresultat vilka behandlar ovanstående ämne. För att utföra denna studie har vi intervjuat två lärare och två specialpedagoger på två olika skolor och i två olika klasser. I de två klasserna finns tio elever i behov av särskilt stöd.

Six different Digital Proofing Systems from three different techniques have been evaluated as totechnique, printing quality, economy and usability. Digital proof from two paper qualities, coatedand uncoated, has been compared with references printed in offset, to see how good they match eachother. Only two Proofing Systems manage to print on reference paper. The other Proofing Systemsuse special paper for digital proof.Measurements and visuell judgement show that the Digital Proofing Systems visualise referencepictures with quite good quality. Proof optimised for coated paper visualise the colours with goodresult.

Today, there is no uniform definition of what an ethical fund is. Fund management companies choose themselves what they believe is ethical and not. The lack of the definition makes it difficult for consumers to understand why these funds are special compared to other funds. The purpose of this study is to examine three Swedish companies; KPA Pension, Swedbank Robur and Folksam, to obtain a clearer picture of the concept ethical funds and its definition. The study describes each company's view of Ethics and how they may affect other companies to work for a more sustainable world.
