HIV/AIDS är en av de största epidemierna i modern tid. Sedan sjukdomen upptäcktes för 27 år sedan har den orsakat 25 miljoner människors död. Personer med kunskap om HIV-smittvägar, preventiva åtgärder samt utvecklad självförmåga har ofta högre medvetenhet om risker. Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva sjuksköterskans insatser för att förändra individers medvetenhet om smittspridning av HIV/AIDS. Metoden som användes var en litteraturstudie.

The purpose of this study is to increase the knowledge of individualism also how individualism is applied in a teacher?s classroom. Based on the curriculum, teaching is tailored to each and every student?s expectations and needs.  My research has been qualitative and includes four interviews with practicing teachers in two multi-cultural schools in the city of Stockholm. I have investigated how these four teachers perceive individualism, also how they individualize when teaching to meet all students' expectations and needs according to them.

BAKGRUND: År 2009 uppskattade man att över 33 miljoner människor levde med hiv. Personer som lever med hiv omges av fördomar och riskerar att bli stigmatiserade av samhället och av denna anledning är det intressant att undersöka vilka attityder och uppfattningar sjuksköterskor och sjuksköterskestudenter har till dessa personer. SYFTE: Att belysa sjuksköterskors och sjuksköterskestudenters attityder och uppfattningar av personer med hiv/aids och till att vårda dessa personer. METOD: Litteraturstudien baseras på 14 kvalitativa och kvantitativa vetenskapliga artiklar, publicerade mellan år 1991 - 2011. Artiklarna har klassificerats och kvalitetsvärderats.

AbstractThe purpose with this essay is to present a picture of the changes in religious education in Sweden, and to make comparisons between Denmark?s and the USA?s model about teaching in religion. I have consequently described the historical development, with the beginning of the establishement of the public school, inte the year of 1842. 1919, a new document about the religious education was released, wich result in some major changes. This was in a time were the debate about religion and the Lutheran State Church of Sweden authority was an issue.

The purpose of this study is to chart and describe which content and different models that teachers use when teaching English as a foreign language at upper secondary school in Sweden. The study was performed through a phenomenonographic point of view, where the aim is to present and compare different understandings within a certain area. Our study emanates in Lars-Göran Malmberg?s theories about different teaching models used when teaching Swedish, which have been transferred and modified by Bo Lundahl into teaching English as foreign language. On the basis of this theory, six individual interviews with different teachers at upper secondary school were carried out with concern of discussing the content and aim of English teaching.

The purpose of this study is to see how some teachers in primary school creates and adapts their mathematics teaching for students with special mathematical abilities. It also aims to identify opportunities and challenges that teachers see in creating a teaching adapted to these students.In this study, qualitative interviews has been done to collect data. The interviews were conducted with five teachers who all are active in the primary school.The study results show that there is great variation in how the interviewed teachers create their mathematics teaching for students with special mathematical abilities. The use of mathematics book proved to be significant for how this adaptation took place. The result also shows that the teachers? explanations for the choice of the adaptations that they make in teaching vary.

HIV/AIDS upptäcktes i början av 1980talet och utvecklades snabbt till en omfattande epidemi. Värst drabbat är Afrika söder om Sahara med 2/3 av världens cirka 40 miljoner smittade. Uganda, som ligger norr om Victoriasjön, var bland de första länderna att rapportera om HIV-fall och hade under 1990talets början en HIV-prevalens på omkring 20 %. Sedan dess har man lyckats minska spridningen av smittan och uppger idag en prevalens på omkring 4 %. Uppsatsen syftar till att se på vilka preventiva åtgärder mot spridningen av HIV/AIDS som genomförts i Uganda och i möjligaste mån deras kostnadseffektivitet uttryckt i USD/förhindrat fall av HIV-smitta.

This paper aims to investigate what part Swedish media plays when it comes to portraying hiv and people infected by the virus. The study comes from articles published in Sweden's two largest daily newspapers, Dagens Nyheter and Göteborgs Posten, in 2007.By using discourse analysis we found that hiv within Sweden is described as related to riskgroups or risk behaviour and that individuals with hiv is portrayed as average people living normal lives. Except for the above described pattern, stories about so called hiv-men frequently occur. Overall, the words abroad and foreigners are reproduced in articles about individuals living with hiv or aids. When it comes to articles describing hiv abroad, aids is more in focus and people living with the virus is portrayed as innocent victims.

HIV/AIDS har kommit att bli ett av dem mest allvarligaste folkhälsoproblemen i världen. Även i Sverige har det skett en ökning av HIV viruset. Internationell forskning visar att personer som lever med HIV/AIDS utsätts för stigmatisering från allmänheten men även från professionella där diskriminering och skuldbeläggning är förekommande fenomen. I Sverige saknas enhetlig rapportering om hur människor som lever med HIV/AIDS blir bemötta av professionella. I och med avsaknaden av svensk forskning på området har syftet med denna studie blivit att undersöka skillnaderna på hur människor som lever med HIV/AIDS blir bemötta av professionella inom sjukvården samt på stödorganisationen Noaks Ark.

Syftet med denna systematiska litteraturstudie var att ur ett globalt perspektiv undersöka ungdomars kunskaper om HIV/AIDS och vilka faktorer som påverkar kunskapsnivån. Syftet var vidare att ur ett globalt perspektiv undersöka ungdomars attityder till HIV/AIDS samt deras sexuella beteende. Sökning av artiklar har skett via databaserna Blackwell Synergy, ELIN@dalarna samt EBSCO Host. Övrig litteratur söktes manuellt på Internet och bibliotek. Inklusionkriterier var att artiklarna skulle vara publicerade mellan år 2000-2006, ha ett vetenskapligt värde, vara skrivna på det svenska eller engelska språket samt vara primärstudier.

The aim of this paper is to examine how teachers experience their possibilities to develop democratic teaching in high school and how they reflect upon their position of power within the teaching situation. Four professional high school teachers have been interviewed for the study. The theoretical perspective of the study is an intersectional view on power and a view on democratic teaching which is partly built on the high school curriculum, but mainly defined by deliberative conversations, anti-oppressive education and norm-critical education. The result of the study is focused on three themes, which were shown in the analysis of the interviews. These themes are: choices of teaching content,  authority of the teacher and democratic teaching.

The purpose of the study is to examine how teachers and students believe that graphing calculators affect the teaching of high school mathematics courses. By becoming aware of this, teachers and teacher students have the opportunity to reflect on the use of graphing calculators in their teaching. The empirical base consists of interviews with teachers and a survey among students at two high schools in southern Sweden. The results show that teachers especially consider the graphing calculator as a tool, much like paper and pencil. They use it if and when it is deemed able to contribute in a significant way in their teaching, either to save time and/or to help deepen the understanding of various mathematical concepts and methods.

Title: Teaching environment and teachers. A study of how music education philosophies influence instrumental teaching and learning at a community music school. Question of the research: Which Music philosophical ideas can be traced in the instrumental teaching of a community music school? Two teachers and their students have been videotaped. Data from the tapes and from interviews with the teachers and students have been analyzed by means of a category system, which grew out of the theoretical overview.

The purpose of this qualitative study is to investigate how some teachers make use of the results of the national tests in mathematics to plan their teaching. The questions are how they plan their teaching in mathematics and if they use the results of the national tests to compare with their own teaching.   Five teachers in mathematics has been interviewed. I have used unstructured interviews with open-ended questions, and I have been able to ask follow-up questions based on their answers. The analysis of the survey is made from a systems theory approach.  The result of the survey shows that teachers make use of student performance to look at their own teaching of the current group of students. However, there is not enough time to rehearse and repair the deficiencies discovered in the national tests, which for some is perceived as a stress factor.

Regarding school-teaching most people have had the traditional idea that the teacher is the owner of all knowledge and the student is the receiver of that knowledge. Tradition tells us that the way the student receives the knowledge has been by listening, repeating, reading and memorizing what the teacher has taught. Research about teaching from the last decades show that there are other strategies, ways, and qualitys for helping students in learning. One of those ways is by integration of different school subjects.According to research every human being creates her own knowledge based on personal experiences. Johan Krantz and Pelle Persson (2001) wrote that learning is a process with experiences, ideas and opinions.
