The aim of this thesis is to mediate to the reader an image of Chinese classification systems and in what way the methods of classification have progressed during time. The tradition of classification in China is very old and dates back more than two thousand years, but it wasnt until the downfall of the dynastic era in the beginning of the 20th century, that Chinese libraries and methods of classification were modernized. This thesis also identifies the development of Chinese librarianship which is of old age since Chinese literature stretches three thousand years back. The main question is in what way the values of three different philosophies are reflected in five classification systems compiled between 1953-1975. The three philosophies are Daoism, Confucianism and Maoism/Mao Zedong Thought.

Our theatre tradition has a long history where men have written most of the plays. If we want that the theatre should be a place, which should be built as much around womens experience as mens experiences, how can we relate to the canon? This is a study based on questions around our theatre tradition. Three women dramatists have been asked questions like: What do you think about the classics? About the women roles? Do the classics inspire you, in your writing? Is there a difference in being a female dramatist than being a male dramatist? Femi-nist theatre- theories have been used to guide us through the canon.

Musiken som kompositör och regissör är en uppsats om hur vi som utövande sångare och kompositörer omedvetet verkar i en tradition som har sina rötter i en kompositionsteknik och estetik som hade sin storhetstid för tre till fyrahundra år sedan, nämligen affektläran.Som bas för min undersökning ligger min egen komposition, operan ?Post office?, med ettlibretto baserat på Charles Bukowskis roman med samma namn. Operan är komponerad utan att jag hade någon som helst kännedom om affektläran, och jag ställer därför frågan om jagomedvetet har komponerat utifrån en tradition som går tillbaka till 1600- och 1700-talet. Jaghar använt mig av en analysmetod där jag väljer ut vissa stycken ur operan, vilka sedan haranalyserats textligt och musikaliskt utifrån affektlärans tekniker. Jag har även med hjälp av en observation av ett antal sångare, som fått framföra delar av min opera, undersökt om det retoriskt-gestiska agerandet i barockens opera omedvetet kan leva kvar hos dagens sångare.

Under 1980- och 1990-talet examinerades musiklärare med rytmisk sång som huvudinstrument i en svensk reformerad utbildning som ansågs motsvara samhällets krav på en ?modern? musiklärare. Hur formades studenter, lärare och traditioner i denna reform? Denna kvalitativa studie fokuserar sångpedagogisk verksamhet med inriktning mot afroamerikansk tradition med syfte att undersöka rytmiska sångpedagogers upplevelser av sin verksamhet, kompetens och kunskapsutveckling i relation till sin egen utbildning och yrkespraktik. Tre sångpedagogers unika och personliga berättelser ligger till grund för studien vars resultat visar på att den mångfacetterade sångpedagogiska verksamheten bär på utmaningar som går att koppla till bland annat traditioner kring undervisning i högre utbildning, kompetens och självinsikt.

Emma Eriksson and Christina Henriksson: Mirror mirror on the wall: A study on how ballad texts reflect women as carriers of tradition in nineteenth century Sweden, Växjö: Musikvetenskap C, 10 p 2005.The aim of this essay is to analyze relations between ballad texts and the lives of female carriers of tradition in nineteenth century Sweden. Four carriers of tradition have been chosen, connected by being informants to Gunnar Olof Hyltén Cavallius, a collector of medieval ballads in Sweden around 1850. The four women are Anna Ehrenström (1786-1857), Catarina Andersdotter (1792-1857), Johanna Gustafva Angel (1791-1869) och Wendela Hebbe (1808-1899). Their lives are seen from a women?s historical perspective.Although there are uncertainties regarding to what extent the collected repertoire of the four women reflects their repertoire as a whole, some conclusions can be drawn regarding relations between remaining ballads and their lives as women.

When I was fifteen I decided that I wanted to become a blacksmith. At the time of my decision I had been obsessed with fantasy for several years. I came to the conclusion that if I could not live in a fantasy world then at least I would make bits and pieces from it. That became the entry point of my fascination for material and techniques. I started with blacksmithing since it had an aura of magic or mystique in the material and in the making process.

Uppsatsen utgår från en egen modell för att analysera det etiskt logiska sambandet mellan den normativa studien Copenhagen Consensus värdeideal, beslutsetik och etiska tradition. Modellen visar god överensstämmelse i metod och genomföran-dedelen av projektet, men visar inkonsekvens med avseende på den etiska tradi-tionen. Utifrån denna empiriska slutsats tar uppsatsen ett normativt grepp och kri-tiserar Copenhagen Consensus utifrån den etiskt logiska inkonsekvens som finns. Tillsammans med värdeteoretisk och vetenskapsteoretisk analys av projektet for-muleras kritik som rör främst dess resultat och faktiska frågeställning. Slutsatsen är att på grund av de etiskt logiska inkonsekvenserna samt nationalekonomins ve-tenskaps- och värdeteoretiska egenskaper lyckas inte Copenhagen Consensus be-svara en relevant frågeställning och ge ett användbart resultat.

Starting at the end of the Cold War, this publication assesses the impact of the upheavals in Eastern Europe and the atrophic Soviet Union on the Swedish doctrine of neutrality with its 200 year old tradition. Since the end of world war two the proximity of the Soviet Union had constituted the major impetus for upholding a position of neutrality and as this vanished a pressure for change was created. This essay works with a theoretical framework delineated by Kjell Goldmann and under this disposition, the Swedish tradition of neutrality, governmental positions, opposition and four major influential newspapers are studied. The standings of each variable are canvassed in an attempt to explain the development of Swedish security policy during the crucial years of 1988-1992..

Det här arbetets syfte är att belysa svenska keramikers beskrivning av begreppet tradition och deras eget förhållningssätt till det. För att nå reliabla informanter användes kooperativet Konsthantverkarna i Stockholm. Genom en enkät, skickad via e-post, fick keramikerna anknutna till kooperativet Konsthantverkarna svara på följande två frågor: - Vad betyder tradition för dig som keramiker? - Är tradition synlig i ditt egna keramiska arbete; och om så, på vilket sätt? Enligt informanternas utsagor innefattar tradition flera olika områden. Hantverket har en central roll i begreppet, med betoning på materialet och teknikerna inblandade i det keramiska arbetet.

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.

There has been a lot of debate in media about mathematics teaching in grade school in Sweden. Many students experience that mathematics in grade school is abstract, which leads to decreased interest of mathematics in early years. An international study indicates that Swedish students in class 4 do not fulfill the mean for mathematics according to EU/OECD countries. The study also shows that Sweden practice a textbook driven education, compared to other countries. The aim for this study was to find out how a few pedagogues for class F-6 teach mathematics, and why they have chosen to educate the way they do.

Is there a specific tradition of songs within the swedish environmental movement? What kinds of music has been performed in different situations and what does it mean to the movement and its inner life? The essay deals with a town meeting and action against plans of establishing passenger flights at a former military airport in Uppsala, looking at the action as a performance and as a ritual. The second part of the essay is built on interviews of three veterans of the movement's organisations one of which is as a singer-songwriter originally active in the peace movement of the 60's. The paper is about the songs and the situations in which they were sung, concluding that there is, the limited material considered, little evidence of considerable transfer of songs within the movement, though some coherence exists. The connection to between environmental movement and the swedish radical music movement of the 70's is also slightly mentioned.

A church in rural Vester Egede from the earliest Christian period in Denmark e.g. the early 1100, a baptismal font is found showing a woman breastfeeding two animals. She is said to be a typical early roman Luxuria, in mild appearance. However, what makes her unique is that she appears standing on the top of her head, her womb serving as font. The main question is how come that a baptismal font like this is to be found in a church, leading to the sub question, if this font really has a Christian origin or could it be rooted in Norse, pre-Christian tradition, alternatively is the font an expression of a syncretism between the two colliding cultures.

Vårt arbete består av en empirisk undersökning där vi med kvalitativ intervju som metod velat undersöka hur sju lärare i grundskolans tidigare år tolkar kursplanen i geografi, och hur de omsätter denna i praktiken. Vi har tagit avstamp i kursplanen i geografi, tidigare forskning och litteratur. Dessa visar alla på geografiämnets bredd och möjligheter. Geografiämnet har en särställning då det är tvärvetenskapligt och står med ett ben i samhällsvetenskapen och ett ben i naturvetenskapen. De exempel vi har fått diskuteras också utifrån en sociokulturell kunskapssyn.
