This essay started with a describing of Vision2020 that aims to get incoming tourism doubled and to make global travellers choose Sweden as their destination at the first place. Furthermore, we discuss those 12 priority markets that a Swedish leading communications company in the tourism Visit Sweden puts effort and promotes. Poland was not on the list of the selected countries. With our research we aim to show that the Polish market has potential. Compelling factors point to that Sweden and Poland are neighbour countries with good transport connections and, not least, that the countries have long historical relationships with each other.

During the last years around 100 000 immigrants have arrived to Sweden, people with different reasons and different goals for settling down in Sweden. The reason for immigrating to Sweden that will be dealt with in this thesis is following immigration, i.e. when someone moves here because they have relatives living in the country.The reason why it is interesting to study following immigration is that it is an affecting factor for how many that will immigrate to Sweden the following years and may then be used to make a forecast, based on how many first time immigrants there are. To be able to investigate the following immigration analyses are made with time series, logistic regression and Poisson regression. An ARIMA-model has been used to estimate the number of following immigrants in the future.The other part of this thesis will inquire the matter how inclined immigrants are to become Swedish citizens, whether they even apply for citizenship and also how long time it takes from the time when they fulfil the conditions for Swedish citizenship until they apply.

Mitt syfte med denna uppsats har varit att ta reda på om läroböckerna i religionskunskap, vid namn, Sofi ? Religion och Religionskunskap ? Kompakt är lämpliga och aktuella att använda i undervisning trots att kursplanen kommer att förändras höstterminen 2011. Min undersökning har främst varit inriktad på kunskapssynen i kursplanen för religionskunskap, ur den nya läroplanen för grundskolan, och i de ovan nämnda läroböckerna. För att kunna identifiera kunskapssynen i läroböckerna har jag studerat de instuderingsuppgifter som finns i respektive lärobok. Dessa har jag sedan kategoriserat och försökt att ställa mot den syn på kunskap som den kommande kursplanen beskriver under rubrikerna ?3.14 Religionskunskap? och ?Syfte?. Frågeställningen som jag har arbetat utifrån lyder: Vilken kunskapssyn finns representerad i den kommande kursplanen för religionskunskap i grundskolan och i de utvalda läroböckernas uppgifter, och vilka konsekvenser får det för elevernas lärande? Min metod kan dels beskrivas som kvantitativ och dels hermeneutisk då jag ägnar mig åt att både tolka uppgifterna och mäta frekvensen av dem. Resultatet av min undersökning visade att det jag kallar för repetitionsuppgifter är det mest frekventa inslaget i de läroböcker som jag har undersökt.

In this essay the authors have searched to get an understanding of howthe situation where for a person being handicapped and of sámi heritage in Swedenduring the 1800´s to the beginning of 1900´s. In this qualitative study, church booksand local governmental records from the time has been the sources for data. Findingsregarding sámi and disability first of all shows that the sámi didn´t produce any ownwritten records, this means we had to use records produced by Swedish authorities.These are the only records available from the time. Records that gave us theauthorities point of view. When working with historical documents it is the contextwere they were produced in and their implied readership that is of great importance.Using this method gives the possibility to tell the story by the perspective of theexposed, in our case sámi people with disabilities.

Many studies have pointed out that generosity depends on different things like gender, age and nationality. We wanted to see if predetermined factors like genetics also had an effect on the intention of generosity. There is a ratio between the index finger (2D) and ring finger (4D) that is determined by the levels of testosterone in the amniotic fluid and that have had some significant effect on personality attributes like musical and leadership skills. We wanted to see if that ratio had any effect on the intention of generosity. We experimentally examined a group of priest student and two groups of young handball players and let the groups answer a survey that included a sort of dictator game and we photo copied their hands to get their 2D:4D-ratio.

The purpose of this essay is to shed some light upon the children who grew up in Sweden after their parents fled the war in former Yugoslavia. Did the parents spread their own opinions about the other ethnicities which they fought against in the war to the children, even though they live in a new country? And if so, was it an act of patriotism for the country they once lived in and who was to blame for the war? Did the children who grew up in Sweden share the same attitudes as their parents? To find out about this we used interviews with four people, all with heritage from former Yugoslavia, Bosnia and Croatia. What we found out was that the thoughts from the parents partially were passed down to their children, even though the children thought that they had formed their own opinions. In this case the thoughts didn?t relate to any kind of patriotism or who to blame for the war, they rather believed that they shouldn?t blame the other ethnic groups for the war.

Kan kärleken övervinna religionen? Min frågeställning har varit: Kan blandäktenskap fungera trots de olika motsättningarna som finns mellan olika religioner och kulturer?Den metod jag har använt mig av är kvalitativ metod, främst fenomenografisk metod baserad på intervjuer. Själva tillvägagångssättet har skilt sig åt eftersom jag använt mig av olika typer av material såsom litteratur, Internet och heliga skrifter. Jag har också intervjuat personer som befinner sig i ett blandäktenskap/relation samt personer i ledande ställning i församlingarna. Jag har letat efter tidigare forskning i Högskolan i Gävles databaser, men mycket av mitt arbete har haft sin utgångspunkt i egen erfarenhet samt i en dokumentär som visades på SVT1 (Inte som min syster).Uppsatsen syftar till att ge en inblick i och belysa hur de två olika religionerna, kristendom och islam är uppbyggda samt ge en förklaring till olika begrepp som förknippas med blandäktenskap.

Bakgrund: Det finns skilda uppfattningar om var skolan skall ha skolavlutning inför sommarlovet. Kyrkan som plats för skolavslutning skapar debatt när anhängare och motståndare vill definiera vad skolavslutning i kyrkan är, bör vara och/eller kan innebära. Olika uppfattningar och tolkningar av skolans styrdokument har mynnat ut i att skolavslutning i kyrkan har diskuterats flitigt i media.  Bakgrunden, eller det så kallade forskningsproblemet uppstår just i oenigheten över skolavslutning i kyrkan. Åsiktsströmningar om skolavslutning i kyrkan öppnar upp för att undersöka vilka diskurser som finns i media. Syfte: Syftet med den här studien är att undersöka hur skolavslutning i kyrkan konstrueras och vilka diskurser som framträder i artiklar i dagstidningar. Metod: Studien innefattar analys av texter i utvald nyhetsmedia. Kritisk diskursanalys som specifik teori med ansats av socialkonstruktion. Resultat: Resultatet visar att det finns meningsskillnader i frågan där ställningstagandet producerar föreställningar och kategoriseringar av motståndarna.

In the years between 2012 and 2014, Burma has been shaken by waves of violence against Muslims which has resulted in destroyed mosques and shops, at least 140 000 displaced and 200 killed persons. The person who is said to lay behind this violence is the Burmese Theravada monk Ashin Wirathu. Being the founder and leader of the radical Buddhist movement 969, he has been accused of indirectly motivating violence against Muslims and has been portrayed with titles such as ?The face of buddhist terror?. This essay investigates the relation between Wirathu and the anti-Muslim violence by applying the method of content analysis on a speech of him.

Soybean meal from South America is the most common protein feed used for animal production in Sweden. Production of soybean has negative effects on the environment and the transports from South America to Sweden causes considerable CO2 emissions. Therefore it is a growing interest in locally produced protein feed in Sweden. Protein feeds that are possible to grow in Sweden are rapeseed, peas, faba beans and lupins. Those are adapted to the Nordic climate and are perfect to grow in cereal rotations.

Today is one of the reasons that Sweden works for improved public health to reduce the incidence of the most common diseases. The eleven objectives are the key determinants of public health work and are thus assigned as the common positions for players to work towards the same goal. The purpose of this study was to examine which aspects of health promotion in Sweden examined in the scientific articles. The method is a literature review based on scientific articles. Searches have been conducted in the databases SAGE Journals Online, ASSIA and Cinahl.

The main aim of this study is to examine the development policies of Sweden and the European Union from a postcolonial perspective. Sweden and the European Union are increasingly coming to be viewed as normative powers rather than military powers. So how does the colonial past of the western societies affect the policies of today? Are there any signs of the power structures of the past, and if so, how are these power structures manifested in the development policies of today? Since both Sweden and the European Union have come to be viewed as normative powers they are compared with each other to highlight their similarities and differences. The results of the study shows that both Sweden and the European Union can be seen as carriers of western values and interests.

AbstractThe wild forest reindeer is a subspecies of the reindeer.

In this study I try to answer the question what to consider when teaching about identity andreligious identity in Religious Studies at Upper Secondary Schools in Sweden. This inquiry isbased on the fact that the latest Program manuals for upper secondary school, GY11, instructsthe teachers to talk about identity and religion, while in the Curriculum for upper secondaryscool, Lpf 94, as well as the latest curriculum, SKOLFS 2011, the idea of identity seemslinked with ethnicity.With this in mind I want to clarify what might be meant with the concept of identity. Byreferring to several different identity theories I propose to illustrate the complexity of theconcept. I study gender, queer and postcolonial theory as well as different aspects of classstructure and commodification of identity, all through the perspective of intersectionality.Intersectionality is not a theory as such but a method of studying various perspectives of anissue. It is an analytical praxis of using several angles of investigation and explanationtogether, all phrased with the background of the question of power.
