AbstractSwedish tuition for immigrants (SFI) is a public adult education program in Sweden that was created in order to provide the immigrants with basic skills in Swedish. People with different backgrounds speaking different languages learn together how they should communicate in Swedish, both orally and in writing. For those who teach SFI it is important to know which factors have positive effects on the Swedish language acquisition. One of the questions to be asked is if the learning materials´ genre has any effect on the SFI students´ proficiency, in particular, oral proficiency. Scientists as von Franz, Vygotskiy and Bettelheim argued that fairy tales, as a genre consciously or subconsciously recognizable by all the people, present texts that are easy to acqiure.

En studie i om handdockan kan stärka den matematiska förståelsen och hur pedagoger skulle kunna använda den som redskap. Geometriska former och rumsuppfattning har stor betydelse i barns verklighetsuppfattning och lärande i matematik. Vi valde att fokusera på en geometrisk form, rektangeln. Vårt arbetssätt har bestått av intervjuer, observationer och dokumentation av genomförandet. Studien genomfördes i två helt skilda förskolor men har gjorts på liknande sätt och med samma frågeställningar.

Around the 1950s an explosive population growth started in the Third World. Parallel with the population growth a global network grew up advocating population control and limited population growth. Sweden had a unique place in that network through a pioneering role promoting the issue in the UN organization. During the 20th century Sweden was a pioneer country in terms of initiatives for population control. Ceylon family planing pilot project was something new in a time when other donors considered family planning be too controversial area for bilateral aid projects.

Language choice is a required course in years 6-9 of compulsory school. Those who do not wish to study a Modern language of French, Spanish or German may choose language choice English or language choice Swedish instead. These two courses are meant to provide students with additional support and advanced work in those subjects. Although grades are given in Modern Languages, language choice English and Swedish do not merit a grade. Neither language choice English nor language choice Swedish has a set curriculum or syllabus.

This is a study about the relation between the Swedish school and the political system of Sweden. I wanted to see if the relation had changed since the election of 2010 as it was in that election the Sweden Democrats got over five percent of the votes and took seat in the Swedish parliament. The thing that is unique about this election is that it was really the first time a right-wing party had been elected into the Swedish parliament. Many experts argue that this is the first xenophobic party that has been elected into the Swedish parliament. This led to a problem for schools and their principals and a difficult question to answer because xenophobia is contrary to the school?s core values and the school?s democratic mission.Should the school still be open for political parties? How do schools manage to distinguish between political information and political propaganda? If parties still are welcome into the schools, which parties should be allowed? The equality ombudsman has said in a report that the schools have to comply with the principle of objectivity, which stipulates that the public sector has to be unbiased.I have chosen to make use of a qualitative method because I think the study then gets a deeper understanding of the topic.

Polykemi AB använder kontinuerligt FTIR-analys för materialidentifiering, felsökning och utveckling. Företaget har ett omfattande referensbibliotek med spektra för råvaror i form av polymerer, additiv, fyllmedel och förstärkningsmedel. Företaget köper rena polymerer som modifieras genom att polymer och fyllmedel blandas i en extruder och en plastsammansättning erhålls. Den praktiska delen av examensarbetet inleddes med upptagande av FTIR-spektrer från några av de termoplaster, additiv, fyllmedel och förstärkningsmedel som företaget använder. Slutligen upptogs spektrer från ett antal modifierade plaster. Dessa spektrer tolkades och de ingående ämnena identifierades. Två olika metoder har använts vid analyserna: filmteknik och diffus reflektans.

This thesis takes its starting point in the 27 Chapter 1, section 1 of the Swedish code of judicial procedure, where the following is found:?objects reasonably presumed important to a criminal investigation or taken from a person through a criminal act or subject to criminal forfeiture may be seized?In this thesis we have investigated what kinds of problems occur when the seized object is part of an investigation of IT-related criminality. We have used methodological investigations of Swedish laws, legal usage, and the preliminary work with laws. Further have three interviews been made with different actors affected by or involved in seize of objects. These persons were a police officer, a public prosecutor, and a person whose object has been seized.The result we present is that there exist three kinds of problems related to objects that are seized within the demarcation of this study.
