An essay on whether high school students have different views on religion and religious education, and on conceivable didactic conequences of demonstrable differences..

Syftet med studien var att ta reda på hur lärare och rektorer på två kommunala skolor i Malmö ser på religionsfrihet i relation till skolplikten. Vi analyserade hur mötet mellan religionsfrihet och skolplikt ser ut i praktiken, utifrån rektorernas såväl som lärarnas perspektiv. Vi undersökte också hur lärare och rektorer ser på skolplikten och religionsfriheten i förhållande till de lagar och förordningar som finns. Vi genomförde en kvalitativ, ostrukturerad intervju med två lärare och två rektorer på vardera skola. Vi kom fram till att relationen mellan skolplikten och religionsfriheten såg olika ut mellan lärare och rektorer.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a concept that is growing increasingly important, with more and more companies acknowledging that they have an obligation to the environment in which they operate. We were interested in inquiring into why companies chose to do so, even though there are no laws that condition them to engage in CSR. One answer to this might be that companies use CSR as a way to distinguish themselves from the competition as well as to gain trust and goodwill from the stakeholders. When it comes to Corporate Social Responsibility, the question is no longer whether or not companies should engage in it, but how they can gain competitive advantage by doing so. This study aims at providing a framework for possible ways of integrating CSR and branding, as well as different strategies for CSR-communication. We also tried to define how, and why, consumers respond to CSR-initiatives.

AbstractI have chosen to make a study of the learning of reading and writing, as well as other learning difficulties that may occur, in this research.My choice of subject is based on the realizations I made during my time as a student teacher; that each teacher has his/her own way of teaching reading and writing. Sometimes, however, learning difficulties occur, and this insight caught my attention. It made me think about the underlaying reasons and how we, as teachers, can bring attention to these difficulties. With these questions in mind, I recorded my observations based on a series of interviews and literary studies in an attempt to answer my questions. The resulting research emphasizes how important the actions from the teachers are, as well the importance of having variety in your lesson plan.

Bakgrund: Amyotrofisk lateral skleros är en nervsjukdom som innebär att samtliga muskler efter hand förtvinar och personen slutligen blir totalförlamad. Personens intellekt bibehålls under hela sjukdomsförloppet. Livskvalitet inkluderar fysiska, psykiska, sociala och andliga värden och livskvalitet är subjektivt och ytterst individuellt. Livskvalitet knyts till enskilda människors inre upplevelser och karakteriseras som psykiskt välbefinnande. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att belysa hur personer med ALS beskriver sin livskvalitet under sjukdomstiden.

Our purpose has been to review and analyse the representation of rape, as well as discussions concerning rehabilitation, present in texts targeted at professionals and/or female victims of rape. We wish to investigate whether female victims of rape themselves are given the opportunity of individual positioning with regard to the crimes they have been exposed to. We consider it to be of relevance that female victims of rape themselves are given the opportunity to act, react and feel individually in the context in which they find themselves, without judgement or certain expectations on how to act being dealt to them from their surroundings. Our research questions have been as follows; what views of the phenomenon that is rape are presented in the texts? Do the texts apply any specific theoretical analysis aimed at the possible explanations of the phenomenon that is rape? In what ways do the texts present the significance of rape for the female rape victim? How are the victims feelings of disgrace, guilt and disgust with regard to rape explained, are these reactions linked to the understanding of female sexuality? How are methods of the rehabilitation of female rape victims presented in the texts? Do the texts render possible any other/varying subject positions as a female rape victim? To answer these research questions we have applied a critical discourse analysis on our selection of texts and thereafter made a connection to relevant theory.

The purpose of this thesis is to study how today?s consumer society can be understood from ananalysis of the phenomenon Every Day Carry (EDC). The aim is thus to problematize the daily useof the artifacts that surrounds us and investigate how these can be understood as networks of humanand non-human actors, aswell as identity- and meaning-making practices in today?s consumersociety.The theoretical and methodical framework is built upon an eclectic variety of consumptiontheories,Michel Callon?s, John Law?s and Bruno Latour?s work on Actor-Network-Theory,Discourse analysis inspired by Michel Foucault, Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe and anethnographic methodology specifically adapted for online research. The empirical material consistsof photographs and commentaries from two EDC blogs aswell as commentaries regarding EDCfrom a commentary field on Youtube.com.

The aim of this master's thesis is to investigate and to explain the concept of folksonomy in the perspective of knowledge organisation. By creating a conceptual explanation and defining what folksonomy as a concept consists of, the intent is to establish a basis for evaluating folksonomy and to discuss what relevance folksonomy may have in the field of knowledge organisation. By applying a qualitative content analysis a review is performed on how folksonomy is perceived and discussed in a selection of articles written on the subject. Employing the theory of classification, subject indexing and bibliographic retrieval, folksonomy as a method for knowledge organisation is analysed. The practice of tagging in existing systems is also studied.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att kritiskt analysera hur den koloniala diskursen tar sig uttryck i tre svenska läromedel i religionskunskap för gymnasiet. Som teori och metod använder jag mig av diskursanalys.I min studie framkommer det att den koloniala diskursen tar sig uttryck genom att innehållet i läromedlen struktureras utifrån en västerländsk/kristen syn på religionsbegreppet, vilken har sin grund i en essentialistisk religionssyn. Böckerna är organiserade runt centrala kristna begrepp, vilka implicit bär på kristna värderingar, och kristendomen är den religion som får överlägset mest utrymme.?Vi? framställs som en enhetlig grupp som i första hand är just kristna, men även västerländska, i betydelsen moderna, demokratiska och jämlika humanister. ?Dom? kategoriseras utifrån ?Vår? utblickspunkt som en motpol, eftersom ?Vi? ytterst definierar oss själva utifrån ?De Andra?.

Background: Goodwill has been a hot and debated topic for a longer period of time. Researchers have debated how goodwill should be accounted for and have not come to a solution. In 2005 IFRS standards came which meant that goodwill no longer will be amortized according to plan, but to be put through a yearly impairment test.Problem: A number of disclosure requirements in the financial reports have been made in an effort to avoid companies to account for goodwill differently. Apparently there still is a problem of how companies account for goodwill and there are several studies in the subject. But no one has studied how it is between two different industries, which make this study interesting to execute.Purpose/questions: This study have the purpose to investigate how the industries day to day wares and health care regards the disclosure requirements for goodwill by the impairment tests.

Manzai (??) is a Japanese comedy style similar to stand-up comedy but done by two people in the form of a dialogue. One is the Boke ?Funny man? and the other the Tsukkomi ?Straight man?. This work examines how manzai discourse is structured to create comedy by using the framework postulated by Abe (2006).
