The doctrine of traditio is the main rule for the buyer?s protection against the sellers?s creditors in the Swedish legal system. This means that the buyer have to take physical possession of the property in order to be protected against the sellers?s creditors if the seller becomes bankruptcy or is hit by an execution. If instead the doctrine of consensus applied the buyer is protected as soon as a valid contract is formed.

För att alla elever ska kunna uppnå scientific literacy bör man utgå från barnens erfarenheter där naturorienterade ämnen, NO, knyts till ett sammanhang ? en kontext. I kontexten synliggörs naturvetenskapens mänskliga sida, och därmed visa att NO är mer än fakta. Elever behöver lära om naturvetenskapen, vilket kallas nature of science, NOS. Vårt syfte är att ta reda på hur lärare aktualiserar nature of science genom ett Linné-tema.

In scientific investigations on how organizations can learn from their mistakes the perspective is usually that of the social engineer; the object is to prevent human errors through modeling the system in a certain way. The aim of this paper is to explore the learning process from a different standpoint than those usually applied in organizational learning and error theory. By studying the learning process in Swedish health care I seek to discover how theoretical presumptions affect the outcome in terms of what we actually learn. The theoretical framework draws on two major discussions in contemporary political science; the question of structure and agency and the question of whether to focus on formal or informal structures when explaining organizational behavior.The investigation shows that Swedish health care tend to understand human errors as a result of formal organizational structure. Such a view leads to insufficient explanations to why errors occur but is useful in producing preventative measures.

Vår uppsats handlar om serbisk identitetsbildning i Malmö. Syftet med uppsatsen är att med hjälp av konstruktivismen undersöka serbers identitetsbyggande.Vår frågeställning lyder - Hur ser serbisk identitetsbildning ut i en svensk kontext? Vi har även försökt ringa in våra informanters syn på skillnader mellan det typiskt "svenska" och det typiskt "serbiska".Utifrån 6 stycken samtalsintervjuer har vi funnit olika beståndsdelar för byggandet av en identitet som vi behandlar under fyra olika teman: historia, mediabilden av serber, att vara serb i Sverige samt skillnader mellan svenskhet och serbiskhet.Uppsatsen inleds med en teoridel där vi behandlar konstruktivismens utgångspunkter samt metodologiska ansatser för intervjuerna.Sedan följer del två som behandlar identitetsskapande och diskursanalys. Diskursanalysen blir ett verktyg för att förstå och förklara våra informanters konstruktion av deras identitet. Resultatet av vår undersökning blev att vissa aspekter återkom som viktiga när våra informanter beskrev sin egen identitet och vad den grundade sig på.

The following essay or thesis is a study over scientific endeavors in the fringe. It is a study of Riksorganisationen UFO-Sverige, whose proponents aim to make the UFO phenomenon (or phenomena) a subject of scientific scrutiny. To achieve this, the ufologists first have to redefine common concepts of ufology as pseudo science or religion, mainly by challenging definitions given by scientific sceptics on the one hand, and proponents of conspiracy theories or the new age environment on the other. Thus UFO-Sverige seeks to construct an alternative scientific identity in contrast to adversaries on both sides, each unwilling to give the UFO phenomenon any further examination. Following the work of Tomas Gieryn's sociological grip on questions of epistemology, especially concerning the social boundaries of science from other cultural categories through what has been labelled as epistemic boundary work, during which proponents of a particular field aim to achieve epistemic authority and thus the legitimate right to define what is and what is not science, I seek to analyze how questions of science and legitimacy are actualized in an intellectual environment or culture not broadly accepted as scientific.

What role should science play in democracy? Political scientists often assume that it is possible to demarcate between ?instrumental? and ?moral? knowledge, and argue that citizens and/or politicians should use their moral knowledge to agree upon political goals and then apply the instrumental knowledge of scientists to achieve them. This straightforward view is challenged by writers in science studies, who identify three major problems in the use of science in democracy: uncertainty, risk and hidden values. They suggest that these problems could be solved through citizen participation.In this essay I perform an analysis of the internal logic of their suggestion. Is it likely that citizen participation enhances the democratic decision making process so as to reduce the problems? The internal analysis shows that it is rational to advocate citizen participation by reasons of legitimacy.

The purpose with this study is to map the research front and the research base in information science, by using the bibliometric methods bibliographic coupling and author-co citation analysis. The research questions are: 1. What is the nature of the research front in information science, regarding which areas that are being studied? 2. What is the nature of the research base in information science, regarding which authors who are most cited, and how they can be grouped? The data used in the study were gathered from articles published in the journal Journal of the American society for information science and technology, published between 2004-2006, respectively 1986-2006.

In order to be able to change, to maintain competitiveness as a company in a world where rapid changes is part of the daily life, it is crucial to have knowledge and methods in how to change. One method, originally developed in Finland, is the Change Laboratory. This method is said to be efficient, not only concerning change aspects but also learning, since change and learning in this method is intertwined. This Master Thesis (20p.) tells about the process of conducting a Change Laboratory with a Swedish high-tech company and analyses factors in the process that makes change possible..

The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate and compare the retrieval effectiveness of two search engines on the Internet: Svensk Medicin and Google Scholar. Svensk Medicin is a medicine-specific search engine and Google Scholar specialises in indexing scholarly material. A set of 20 questions in four categories were used to conduct the searches with the search engines. Genuine medical information needs were selected from a question collection provided by the television program Fråga doktorn. The relevance of the first 10 retrieved documents was judged by using a binary scale and the measure used was precision.

Damhockeyspelare hyllas inte lika ofta som herrhockeyspelare i sportmedia. Tidigare forskning tyder istället på att damidrottare oavsett sport sexualiseras och trivialiseras. Den här studien har undersökt hur svensk sportmedia konstruerar damhockey, specifikt i relation till herrhockey. Det teoretiska ramverket utgick från diskursteori och genusteori. Med hjälp av diskursanalys undersöktes artiklar, bloggar och krönikor ur två kvällstidningar, två TV-kanaler och Svensk Radios sportsektion.

Patientdelaktighet i vården har visat sig resultera i förbättrade behandlingsresultat och ökad tillfredsställelse bland patienterna. Genom att belysa hur patienten upplever sin delaktighet i hälso- och sjukvården kan sjuksköterskan få en fördjupad insikt i patientens livsvärld och förbättrade möjligheter att bemöta och tillgodose hans behov. Sjuksköterskan kan, med denna fördjupade kunskap, utgöra en resurs för patienten och bidra till att skapa bättre förutsättningar för patientdelaktighet. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att belysa patientens upplevelse av delaktighet i svensk hälso- och sjukvård. Metoden var en litteraturstudie av åtta vetenskapliga artiklar med en kvalitativ analysmetod.

I examensarbetet har läroboksserier inom fysik för gymnasienivån studerats med avseende på Nature of Science. Begreppet Nature of Science, NOS, handlar om naturvetenskapens epistemologi och de sammanhang som påverkar skapandet av ny kunskap inom naturvetenskap. Aspekter från andra vetenskapsområden som, historia, filosofi, ekonomi, och sociologi lyfts fram som viktiga i kunskapsutvecklingen av naturvetenskap. Som grund för studien har ett avgränsat avsnitt, som i examensarbetet benämnts vad är ljus, undersökts. Inom detta område har det studerats om och hur NOS används i läroböckerna.

Faktorer och egenskaper som begreppet svensk innefattar kan vara att vara fo?dd i Sverige, att vara svensk medborgare, att bo och arbeta i Sverige, att kunna tala, la?sa och skriva svenska, att vara kristen och att ta del av svenska den kulturen och av svenska traditioner samt att ha ett svenskt utseende. Syftet med studien a?r ta reda pa? vilka faktorer och egenskaper som anses viktiga fo?r att begreppet svensk ska kunna bli en del av identiteten hos den underso?kta gruppen och om den underso?kta gruppen anser att det a?r viktigt att ka?nna sig svensk. Studien a?r genomfo?rd vid en kommunal vuxenutbildning (Komvux) da?r en enka?tunderso?kning utfo?rdes bland elever i a?mnet svenska som andraspra?k.

Sweden became a member of the European Union in 1995. Consequently Sweden became obligated to implement the Working Time Directive 2003/88/EC (formerly termed 93/104/EC). At that time Sweden considered that their legislation already gave their employees as high level of protection as the directive prescribed. Instead they decided upon an adjustment of the collective agreements concerning working time. A particular EC-restriction was incorporated in the Working Hours Act (SFS 1982:673).
