At Kungliga Biblioteket in Stockholm you can find over 40 000 letters sent to Selma Lagerlöf. Many of her readers wrote and asked for her help, and the letters show that she helped a lot of people with money as well as with writing advice. People from all over the world asked her for money to be able to study, to finish their written works, or just to get through the day. Others want her to read their texts and poems, because they wish to hear her opinion or wonder if she can put in a good word for them at some publisher.

Intresset för det undersökta fenomenet, uppmärksammades av en slump då vi tog del av publiksiffran från förra årets SM-final i innebandy. För oss med en uppväxt på ishockeyrinken tyckte vi det var helt otroligt att SM-finalen fyllde hela globen. Ishockeyn hade inte ens fyllt Globen på 4 år, hur kunde en ung sport som innebandy klara detta? Dessutom var det intressant att publikkontrasten mellan en seriematch och SM-finalen för innebandy var hela 14 gånger större. Ur detta skapades vår problemformulering; På vilket sätt skiljer sig marknadsföringen mellan SM-finalmatchen i innebandy och en seriematch i innebandy och vilka likheter kan urskiljas?Syftet var att beskriva vad AIK innebandy och arrangörerna för SM-finalen i innebandy gör för att locka publik till sina seriespelsmatcher respektive sitt finalevenemang.

The purpose of my study is to investigate teachers? opinions about learning difficulties in mathematics.I have read relevant literature on this subject. I have conducted interviews with seven class teachers, one special-needs teacher, a psychologist and one special-needs teachers who specifically worked with investigations concerning pupils with difficulties in mathematics.The result of my study shows that learning difficulties in mathematics can/might be prevented if children in pre-school are introduced to mathematics as early as possible. This should be done in a delightful way in their daily activities and while there are playing. I didn?t find any complete method to help children with mathematics difficulties in compulsory school.

Syfte: Studien syftar till att undersöka om kvinnliga sportreportrar arbetar på samma villkor och blir bemötta på samma sätt som de manliga kollegorna i yrket. Sporten har historiskt sätt varit en av de mest mansdominerade institutionerna i samhället. När kvinnor började ta sig in i den manliga sfären var det därför på mannens villkor. Inom sportjournalistiken var situationen densamma, yrket ansågs från start vara en sysselsättning för mannen där journalistiken var skriven av män, om män, för en manlig publik. Därför har kvinnor, då som nu, således svårt att tränga in och ta plats i sportjournalistikens värld på samma villkor som mannen.
