The purpose of this study is to explore students? perceptions and experiences of the school-subject Swedish. Ten qualitative interviews with students in school year nine have been carried out and the results of these interviews constitute the basis of this study. The result shows that students have a straight-forward attitude towards Swedish as a school-subject. The students identify skills such as reading, writing and speaking, and work in school mainly concerns perfecting these skills. The students think of Swedish as a subject with a clear purpose and find it important and useful. The result also shows that the students want grading for the purpose of further motivation.

This is a literature study in which I investigate if there are scientific studies that form the basis of the Swedish dog world views concerning the spaying of bitches. The positive impacts are said to be reduced problems with pseudopregnancy, reduced risk of pyometra, reduced risk of mammary and uterine tumors, an earlier cease of bone growth, a more active and happier dog and a bitch who is more tolerant of other dogs. The negative consequences are said to be urinary incontinence, increased aggressiveness, lower metabolism and the increased risk of obesity, a more lethargic individual and altered coat.There are studies indicating that spaying reduces behavioral problems associated with heat and pseudopregnancy. Assuming no ovary tissue persists after the procedure, and there is no progesterone production, the risk of pyometra decreases. Early spaying, before the first heat, reduces the risk of mammary tumors.

Today there are many studies that have shown positive results in the treatment of ICT at an early age. The focus of the studies vary, and they target everything from the actual implementation of teaching resources in ICT, to student performance with ICT support. Regardless of the amount of studies on the subject, there is no precise strategy for how to implement, working with ICT, integrate ICT in different subjects, utilizing the hardware and software that is or how it will eventually respond to new technologies. This work will there by focusing on trying to develop a basis for further research and hopefully in the future to develop an ICT strategy at a national level.In order to provide a basis, a comparison was made of ten different schools. The schools were entered into a table showing the similarities and differences .

AbstractOur world is facing new challenges depending on the climate changes. The UN panel of climate changes has determined that the human race is responsible for the changes, but also that we have the opportunity to reduce the effects. This demands that the information reaches out to the public which means that the school system carries major responsibility to this type of questions. This also means that the teachers have to be observant, and give the questions the attention which is needed. The purpose of this essay is to see if this awareness exists today among active teachers and teacher students and if the perspective differs among them, but also their opinions is in agreement with the course plan in the subject.

Från att ha varit en exotisk liten religion som har fört en tynande närvaro i södra Irak och Iran har mandeismen flyttat till västvärlden och däribland Sverige. När allt fler mandéer möter en ny kultur och ett nytt samhälle i Sverige påverkar det inte bara dem som individer utan även religionen mandeism. I denna uppsats har jag påbörjat att undersöka hur mandéer ser på sin identitet och religion. Jag har tagit min utgångspunkt i en bred teoretisk diskussion om identitet, religion och sekualisering. Mandeismen är en gnostisk religion som troligtvis har sina rötter i dagens Israel/Palestina och ser Johannes döparen som den sista profeten.

The purpose of this project is to examine the development of the upper secondary school physics course and from this get a better understanding why the course is organized the way it is today. The timeless argument for studying science in school will begin this essay. After that the reader will be aware of when important discoveries in physics were made. Then school history is presented. In this part we are told when the first school started in Sweden, but the focus lies on the upper secondary school and the physics course.

Syftet med denna studie har varit att undersöka fyra lärares uppfattningar och tankar om kristen tro i arbetet på en mångkulturell skola. I arbetet ingår intervjuer med fyra kristna lärare och deras perspektiv över att vara religiös i ett månkulturellt samhälle. Arbetet innehåller också en lexikon definition och litteraturgenomgång om religion, kultur, samhälle och religion i skolans historia. I arbetet framkom det att tro bland annat inte är något man talar högt om utan något privat men samtidigt inget man förnekar. Acceptans för andra religioner och deras högtider fanns men förståelsen för dessa var svår.

Religion på Internet är en undersökning som behandlar frågor om hur Internetanvändare argumenterar kring skapelsemyter på diskussionsforum på Internet. Vidare argumenteras det för en identitetsskapande aspekt av Internet ? kan sökare, med hjälp av diskussionsforum på Internet, skapa sig en identitet? I ett sekulariserat samhälle utgår man ofta från att religionen förlorar sin betydelse, men det är viktigt att skilja mellan sekulariseringen på organisationsnivå och på individnivå. På individnivå är religionen fortfarande viktig, vilket framgår av de forum som används i den här undersökningen samt i den litteraturstudie som är en del av uppsatsen. Många, framför allt unga, Internetanvändare använder diskussionsforum för att ge uttryck för sina funderingar och med den o-begränsning som Internet innebär kan användarna lätt hitta svar och kommentarer som både kan stärka och bryta ner den egna identiteten. När det gäller religion på Internet är det viktigt att skilja mellan Internet-religion och religion på Internet.

The purpose of this Masters thesis is to compare the scheme structure of two national classifications system, namely the Swedish SAB system and the German ASB. It has been assumed that there are no major differences between the two models of classification systems or the main classes into which documents are placed. The classification theory and subject analysis, which form the basic theory on which my research is based, are taken from Dahlberg, Langridge and Rowley. A comparison of 30 monographs classified in the SAB system Sveriges allmänna biblioteksförening and in the German ASB system Allgemeine Systematik für öffentliche Bibliotheken showed that the classification structure was primarily responsible for determining where a particular document was placed. However, despite the fact that the subject in various documents may be similar, my research will demonstrate that the structure of the two codes also depends on different interpretations of the main subject in a document.

This study focuses on two text books, Magasinet and Ess i svenska, both common teaching material in Swedish schools. Since Swedish school system recently got a new curriculum and grading criteria, the purpose with this essay was to see how well the teaching materials used in school match the new documents.Since the subject has not really been studied before, the chapter containing recent studies focuses on layout, appearance and contents of good teaching material. The survey that I have implemented includes studies of the two text books, with comparison of the new curriculum, grading criteria and previous studies of what makes a good text book.Conclusions were that Magasinet is very comprehensive and match the criteria and curriculum very well, even though it spans over four classes and has to cover a lot of information. However, since it covers so much information, each section sometimes feels not as thorough as it perhaps should have been. Ess i svenska on the other hand, is a good complement to use in ninth grade, if you have studied the previous books for seventh and eight grade in the series.

The purpose of this study in the psychology of religion is to explore the process of an individual?s shift in orienting system, from a religious to an atheistic. The materials used are autobiographical accounts obtained from two books. One that has been used as a primary source and one as a secondary. By using Rambo?s process oriented theory of religious conversion relevant themes and categories were chosen and later subjected to further analysis using Pargament?s theory of religion and coping.

The purpose of this paper is to study how the TV program Border Security: Australia?s FrontLine (Gränsbevakarna Australien) can be seen to reproduce networks of human and non-human actors. The aim is thus to investigate how boundaries between nations are upheld and how people, as a consequence, are discoursively categorized and what preconditions this create for people?sidentity- and meaning-making practices.The theoretical and methodical framework is built upon Bruno Latour?s work on Actor-Network-Theory, and discourse analysis inspired by Michel Foucault. The empirical material consists of two episodes of the TV program.

Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att ta reda på hur och om olika typer av religion, etnicitet, funktionsnedsättning och sexualitet framställs och förekommer i tre läroböcker i spanska för högstadiet samt undersöka könsfördelningen. Detta för att ta reda på hur läroböckerna kunde kopplas till den del av läroplanen som handlar om att skapa förståelse för andra människor och att ingen ska diskrimineras på grund av ovanstående grunder. Uppsatsen utgick från ett intersektionellt perspektiv och metoden var både kvalitativ och kvantitativ. Resultaten visade att funktionsnedsättning, religion, etniska minoriteter och personer som inte är heterosexuella är ovanliga i dessa läroböcker. Det visade sig också att män till viss del är överrepresenterade, främst vad gäller kända personer.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka och lyfta fram elevers inställning och värderingar till religionsundervisning, livsåskådning och religion. Studiedeltagarna bestod utav två klasser på en gymnasieskola i mellersta Sverige, där båda klasserna gick det estetiska programmet. Undersökningen var en enkätstudie som samlades in och analyserades. Resultatet visade att elever på en gymnasieskola inte har en konkret uppfattning kring sin religiösa tillhörighet. Studien visade även att eleverna hade en oklar uppfattning och bild utav Gud. Deltagarna var osäkra på Guds existens men trodde samtidigt att det kunde finnas en högre makt. Studieresultatet visade att en majoritet av studiedeltagarna trodde på ett liv efter detta, så kallad reinkarnation.
