Grasslands which have been actively managed for a long time and which in modern times have not been subject to cultivation such as fertilization are called semi-natural grasslands. These rare and species-rich areas hold an ecological, biological and historical value and if the management stops these areas will likely diminish. More effective agricultural systems and a declining number of grazing animals have in Sweden, among other countries, made semi-natural grasslands less valuable as foraging areas. Shrubs and fast growing plants rapidly colonize abandoned semi-natural grasslands, threatening biodiversity. The objective of this experiment was to determine the effects of breed and season on diet composition, with special reference to four competitive species found in wet areas ? in cattle grazing heterogeneous semi-natural grasslands ? and thereby contribute to improved management of these areas.

The object of this two years master's thesis has been to study a specific genre of personal archives by examiningthe archives of nine parents who have lost one or several infants. Using internet-based methods, (e-mail, Skypeand digital photographs), I have conducted qualitative research using a general interview guide technique. Usingresearch from archival theory as well as other fields, my material has been arranged and analysed according tothemes and recurring thoughts picked up from my informants during the interviews.My main theoretical aid has been that the role of parent who has lost a child is the starting point for the creationof the personal archives. Another important theory is my definition of the term ?document? as not dependent onmedium and format, but on usage: if an object has been used as a part of an archive, it is a document.

Denna studies syfte har varit att undersöka hur relationerna mellan skolans olika agenter (lä-rare, elever m.m.) och mellan skolans olika diskurser (ämnesdiskurser m.m.), och deras inne-hållande makt- och kontrollprinciper, kan beskrivas i en specifik skolas diskursiv praktik. Samtidigt har studien dragit parallell till hur de ovanstående relationerna symboliserar relat-ionerna mellan de olika samhällsgrupperna. Den har gjort ett försök att förstå hur skolans praktik bidrar till reproduktionen av den specifika ideologi som står för upprätthållandet av dessa relationer. Studien har dessutom gjort en koppling till uppdragets demokratiska dimens-ioner, dimensioner om likvärdig utbildning och dess intentioner av individens finnande av sin egenart, som tar sig till uttryck genom styrdokumentets texter, i relation till skolans funktion som, enligt en del forskning (jmf. Bourdieau, Bernstein m.fl.) går ut på att reproducera sam-hällsvillkoren.

Nature conservation has for a long time been founded on the assumption that high ecological values depend on low human impact. In Sweden this has led to forests with these characteristics being strictly protected from human influences. However, it is also known that historical land-use can enhance ecological values in forests. Mountainous forests in Sweden, which have not been affected by modern forestry, have for a long time been considered as untouched by people. However, forest history research has in recent years shown that even these areas have been used by people for a long period of time.

Idag finns det ett stort utbud av olika utbildningsalternativ, antalet alternativ har o?kat drama- tiskt sedan 1990-talet. Alla ho?gre utbildningar konkurrerar om att rekrytera nya studenter och att beha?lla sina nuvarande studenter (Broady, Bo?rjesson & Palme, 2002). Fo?retags intresse fo?r kundtillfredssta?llelse o?kar sta?ndigt enligt Gro?nroos (2008), da? det sa?gs att en no?jd kund a?r en lojal kund.

Hur va?nder man ett omotiverat elevklimat till ett mer motiverat, sett ur elevens perspektiv? ?How do we change the students behavior from unmotivated to motivated, from their own point of view?? Problemomra?de Detta arbete a?r en underso?kande studie vilket inneba?r att jag har gjort fokusgruppsintervjuer fo?r att ta reda pa? vad skolan kan go?ra fo?r att o?ka motivationen hos elever som upplever skolan som tra?kig och icke meningsfull. Studien tar ett elevcentrerat perspektiv och resultatet bygger pa? elevernas egna utsagor. Problemomra?det baseras pa? skolans va?rdegrund som den beskrivs i ?Ny skollag i praktiken? (2010), i vilken det fastsla?s att skolan ska arbeta fo?r alla ma?nniskors lika va?rde och undervisningen skall anpassas till varje barn fo?rutsa?ttningar.

Den ha?r C-uppsatsen handlar om na?gra erfarna pedagogers syn pa? fo?rskolebarnets spra?kutveckling genom musik. Syftet med underso?kningen a?r att se om sa?ng och musik kan fra?mja barnets spra?kutveckling. De huvudsakliga fra?gesta?llningarna a?r: Kan/Hur kan musik sto?dja spra?kutvecklingen? Hur kan detta fungera i praktiken? Har ro?relsen till musiken na?gon betydelse? I litteraturgenomga?ngen tas Vygotsky, Gardner, Steiner och Arnqvist upp, och deras olika syn pa? barnets spra?kutveckling.

In Sweden today so-called "prescribed nature conservation burning" is performed due to the change in silvicultural law, certification and an increased knowledge regarding the field of fire in the forest landscape. The aim is to re-create structures and qualities made by the fire regimes of the past, though on a much smaller geographical scale. The structures and qualities to be re-created are for example broad leaf stands, trees with large diameter, heterogeneous stands regarding variables such as age and diameter. If we increase our knowledge of the constitution of forests characterized by fire, then we will be able to set goals for what achievements to reach both on landscape scale and stand scale. The aim of this paper is to try to describe how a stand from the past was composed regarding mainly the spatial arrangement and compare it with the stand of today in the same place. This to be done by using relict material, that is stumps and dead standing trees.

Stureholm Manor and garden is a relatively young farming unit on clay soil in the north western part of Skåne, a province in Southern Sweden. Since the middle of the 19th century the landscape has been actively cultivated and has been transformed from oak forrest into farmingland of high efficiency. The industrial era during the 19th and 20th centuries meant new posssibilites for cultivation of these clay soils. With equipment like steam ploughs and the possibility to obtain fertilizers, the harvest increased considerably. This increased prosperity provided estate Stureholm with a beatuiful corps de logi, a manor. The trends prevailing in Europe around the turn of the century 1800-1900 against the growing industrialism, was turned into a artisan movement known as Arts and Craft. The Swedish followers idealized our Swedish history and they took the turn of a national romantic movement that later turned into neoclassicism.
