Since the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) that causes Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) was discovered in the 1980s, the condom has scientifically proven to be the only technological device that can prevent transmission of the virus during sexual intercourse. This technical approach to the HIV has strongly emphasized that prevention is only possible if the condom is properly used. However, as a technological artifact the condom has shown that its use is laden with values. The question of values on condoms has brought in a heated debate on the moral justifications of its use. In Malawi, just as in other African countries, the Faith Community has rejected the Governmentsplea to promote condoms as the preventive measure against the virus.The Faith Community has emphasized on abstinence and mutual faithfulness as the only reliable means to the prevention of HIV/AIDS.

Bakgrund: Hiv-infektionen kan spåras tillbaka till år 1959 och år 2007 uppskattades 33 miljoner vara infekterade med hiv världen över. År 2008 uppskattades ca 5000 personer leva med hiv i Sverige. Hiv smittar bland annat genom sexuell kontakt och blod. Bemötandet av hiv-positiva patienter kan skilja sig från bemötandet av patienter med andra svåra sjukdomar. Tidigare studier visar att flera faktorer påverkar hur sjuksköterskor bemöter hiv-positiva patienter, till exempel fördomsfrihet, acceptans och tidigare erfarenhet av denna patientgrupp.

Are we able to help younger students to develop their understanding and their use of the capital letter, dot and question mark by giving them intensive teaching on the subject during a short period, and would the effect be long lasting?I decided to investigate this together with young students in second and third grade and at the same time try to see which grade would benefit most.By using an experimental research design I conducted the investigation in a class with children from both grades where the result was compared with two similar control groups. The investigation lasted during five months, while the students were able to show their knowledge in the subject just before and after a two weeks period of intensive teaching and then again after four months.The result showed that the intensive teaching had an effect that lasted over time and that it was the students in second grade that would benefit most. .

The purpose of this study was to examine how teachers in primary schools experience the situation of teaching newly arrived immigrant pupils in their regular classes and also how they plan their teaching for these pupils. The empirical study did intend to answer the following two questions; how do teachers experience the situation of teaching newly arrived immigrant pupils in their regular classes? How is teaching of newly arrived immigrant pupils in regular classes being formed? A qualitative method was used in the form of interviews with five primary school teachers from two different schools. The overall perspective I have assumed in this study is the sociocultural perspective, but I have also taken up a second language perspective and an intercultural perspective. All the teachers in the study have described their experiences of teaching newly arrived immigrant pupils in terms of difficult, tough and demanding at the beginning, but nowadays somewhat easier.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka varför Afrika har haft så dålig tillväxt de senaste sexton åren jämfört med resten av världen. Paneldata från 41 afrikanska länder mellan åren 1989 och 2004 används för att undersöka åtta variablers påverkan på den ekonomiska tillväxten. Variablerna som ska granskas är sparande, humankapital, inflation, inflation i kvadrat, bistånd, öppenhet, jämställdhet och aids. Fokus ligger på aids och jämställdhet, eftersom de inte varit föremål för tidigare empirisk forskning i samma utsträckning som de andra variablerna. Regressioner gjordes dels över ett treårsintervall och dels över ett femårsintervall för att undersöka hur variablerna påverkar tillväxten för olika tidsperioder.

Bakgrund: Hiv är en virussjukdom, vilken utan eller misskött behandling kan utvecklas till följdsjukdomen aids. Vid sjukdomens uppkomst cirkulerade okunskap kring smittan vilket påverkade patienter med hiv och aids på flertalet sätt. Idag är sjukdomen globalt utbredd, och ett stort befolkningsantal är drabbade, vilket talar för vikten att bidra till en ökad kunskap och medvetenhet kring sjukdomen. Att sprida denna kunskap är något som sjuksköterskan kan göra i sin del att arbeta hälsofrämjande för samhället. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att belysa hur patienter med hiv och aids upplever sjuksköterskors och övrig sjukvårdspersonals bemötande.

What I came to was that through a practical and laboratory work, I could create an enjoyable educational opportunity in mathematics. Then during the interviews I also learned that students had not a pre-determined negative attitude towards mathematics.

In this essay we study the practice of teaching and learning through aesthetic learning processes in a Waldorf School. Through an ethnographic field study three Waldorf teachers have been interviewed about their views regarding in what ways aesthetic learning processes are present in their teaching and how learning through these processes is being carried out practically. For the study a specific class has been observed during three days in a Waldorf School in Stockholm to examine how the aesthetic learning processes are being performed in practice.Through the study we have reached the conclusion that in this particular Waldorf School teaching is being performed artistically and through aesthetic approaches and perspectives. This way of teaching is being carried out not only in the aesthetic subjects but also in the theoretic. The results of the study show that aesthetic learning processes are present in almost all of the subjects in this Waldorf School..

Läraren står inför ett stort utbud och stora möjligheter till variation i användningen av läromedel idag. Vilka läromedel som väljs i undervisningen beror på olika ramfaktorer såsom elevgruppen, deras prestationsförmåga, intresse, motivation, tid och skolans ekonomiska resurser.I vår studie presenteras hur en lärare och hennes fem elever upplever engelskundervisning och vilka deras åsikter är kring läromedlen. Studiens utgångspunkt är en kvalitativ undersökning baserad på intervjuer med denna lärare och dessa elever.Vårt syfte är att belysa hur elever och lärare upplever undervisning i engelska i årskurs 9 med fokus på val, användning och utvärdering av läromedel.Resultatet visar att eleverna efterfrågar mer muntlig engelska under lektionstiden, vilket inte tycks tillgodoses med de läromedel som används. Eleverna har trots detta en positiv inställning till de läromedel som används samt till engelskundervisning och de ser fördelar med färdigheter i ämnet. Betydelsen av engelska språket för kommunikation med omvärlden anses viktig.
