On 1 January 2007 abolished Sweden as one of the last countries in EU the wealth tax. This wealth tax was in Sweden for almost 100 years. As the great debate in the context of tax reform in 1910 was not so much about the introduction of a wealth tax.

The purpose of this study was to examine how young men and women who are lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) who are exposed to honor related violence, intimidation or repression perceive their situation, what kind of help/support they have received and if they feel that the help and support offered by the society has been adequate. After the murder of Fadime Sahindal in 2002 attention was drawn to honor violence in Sweden. During the period 2003-2007 the government invested 200 million SEK for efforts to prevent honor related violence.

Syftet med vår uppsats är tvåfaldigt. Vi har undersökt hur representanter, det vill säga lärare, rektor och elever, inom en konfessionell kristen friskola beskriver skolans religiösa och värdemässiga profil. Mot bakgrund av den givna beskrivningen har vi i ett jämförande perspektiv undersökt undervisningen i religion och etik inom den konfessionella friskolan och en kommunal skola. Uppsatsen har en kvalitativ ansats med intervju som metod. Resultatet av vår undersökning visar att den konfessionella skolan ger kristendomen mer utrymme, så till vida att denna får fungera som jämförelseobjekt vid undervisningen av övriga religioner.

Globalt sett har den rapporterade förekomsten av typ 2-diabetes ökat från 150 miljoner drabbade människor 1980 till nästan 350 miljoner idag. Typ 2-diabetes är ett växande globalt hälsoproblem vars förekomst associeras med ökningen av fetma över hela världen och att människor idag lever ett mer inaktivt liv. Syftet med denna litteraturöversikt är att ur ett mångkulturellt perspektiv beskriva patientens upplevelse av att leva med diabetes och att få vård samt beskriva sjuksköterskans kompetens. Litteraturöversikten är baserad på elva vetenskapliga artiklar varav sju kvalitativa och fyra kvantitativa. Resultatet visade att språkbarriärer upplevs som ett hinder för personcentrerad vård av både sjukvårdspersonal och patienter.

Denna studie bygger på en kvalitativ analys av läroböcker i ämnet religion på gymnasiet. Läroböcker används för att ge en kortfattad och övergripande bild om ämnet som presenteras.Studiens teori bygger på Edward Saids forskning kring orientalism samt Mattias Gardells teorier kring islamofobi. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur islam har framställts i fem läroböcker sedan 1970-talet fram till idag, en lärobok från varje decennium. Syftet är att visa vilken bild av islam som används för kunskapsutveckling och om det finns skillnader mellan boken från 1979 och boken från 2012. Resultatet av studien liknar det som tidigare forskning visat på.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att studera hur hinduismen har framställts i läroböcker för undervisning i ämnet religionskunskap på gymnasiet, fr.o.m.

The essay discusses underlying racism in the Swedish community and has, as a specific purpose, to illustrate and analyze how images of immigrants are constructed in a local setting. The questions at issue are: What established conceptions about racism exist and how are immigrants described by the youth in Sweden? Which racist manifestations are evident? To answer these questions, twelve interviews with students from an upper secondary school in Lund are done. Discourse analysis and other central aspects to alienation such as categorization and stereotyping, concepts about ?the Others? and underlying racism, have been used to analyze the interviews.

The purpose of this study is to explore how teachers in Sweden and Croatia work with children that have problems like ADHD and dyslexia in school. I have chosen to compare pedagogical methods between Swedish and Croatian teachers which are used in work with children with difficulties when it comes to the education and teachers approach to these children. I have done a qualified study and have interviewed teachers in both Sweden and Croatia and one specialist in pedagogy in Croatia. I compared with these interviews information from earlier studies and literature. Results show that teachers in Sweden are of the opinion that every student who has these difficulties is different and therefore the use a variation of pedagogical strategies is crucial.
