This essay is about the origin, planning and establishment of the European Space Research Organisation's (ESRO) sounding rocket base Esrange outside Kiruna in Northern Sweden. Three main questions are examined. First I show there were not just scientific and technical but also political, economical as well as military reasons to build a European rocket base. Second, I scrutinize the reasons to choose Northern Sweden as the location for the rocket base. As it turns out, the main reasons were the favourable location of Northern Sweden within the aurora oval zone, the proximity of the Kiruna Geophysical Observatory, and the possibility to use a large, although not quite uninhabited, area where the launched rockets could crash.

The great bustard (Otis tarda) became extinct in Sweden during the mid-19th century. Globally, populations have suffered dramatic declines during the past two centuries. Recently, local populations have stabilized or increased after hunting bans and conservation efforts. Despite positive trends the species is still classified by IUCN as vulnerable (VU), mainly due to withdrawals in the distribution. The limited distribution emphasizes the need for finding ?new? areas suitable for a translocation or reintroduction.

The study begins with a historical background over the fisheries development in North America and in the Baltic Sea area in Finland and Sweden. As we can see the fisheries development depends on the interaction between ecology, state of production, politic and also social factors. In Sweden the fishery politic has changed over the period of the study. In the 1970: s the main politic focus was on the fisheries progress, expansion and rationalization. The State in Sweden took a vast part in this development and gave economic support.

The conversion in the Viking Age and the High Middle Agea in Scandinavia and how this affected women is discussed. Did women get a better life when the people had converted to Christianity or not. Our written sources are later than the conversion to Christianity. Instead the material culture, graves, grave goods and runic stones, can help us understand the life of women. Nordic mythology presents a contrast between faith in the Viking Age and Christianity..

Studiens syfte är att genom en kvantitativ innehållsanalys ge svar på vilka artikeltyper och nyhetssammanhang som oftast förekommer för judendom, kristendom och islam ? de tre abrahamitiska religionerna ? i tidningarna Svenska Dagbladet (SvD) och Sydsvenskan (SDS) för perioderna april 2002, oktober 2002 och motsvarande för 2012.För att nå ökad förståelse för resultatet av den kvantitativa innehållsanalysen har intervjuer genomförts med en ledarskribent från vardera tidning samt med en representant från vardera religion. De intervjuade har bland annat fått ge sin uppfattning kring hur religionsnyheter ser ut idag jämfört med tio år sedan.Den kvantitativa studien består av 283 analyserade artiklar, av vilka 118 behandlar islam, 109 kristendom och 56 judendom. Kristendom dominerar för inrikesnyheterna och islam för utrikesnyheterna. Inom de inrikesartiklar som berör islam dominerar sammanhanget diskriminering, medan kultur och antisemitism utmärkte kristendom respektive judendom.

The transformation among armed forces in Europe is a consequence due to shifted security perspective and the growth of international security actors, such as NATO and the EU. Sweden has played an active role in EU to ensure its influence in forming the security policy for the organisation. Some studies mean it´s because of Sweden?s interest in strengthen EUs roll as a security actor they transformed their own armed forces to be able to take part in international operations. This transformation led to what can be called ?the Swedish defence dismantle? and some studies mean that it has led to the point where Sweden completely lacks the ability to defence themselves.The question is if the ambition to become an active member in these security organisations can explain all the decisions made throughout the Swedish defence-transformation, or if some decisions were made due to other factors?By studying the decision process leading up to the decision to locate the flight education to Malmen in Linköping this study seeks to answer why the decision was made.

Since the war in Iraq broke out in 2003 there have been a great increse in the number of refugees arriving to Europe. Sweden have accepted a very large part of these refugees. This have sparked a debate in Sweden aboute how reasonable it is that sweden accepts a proportionaly much larger number of refugees than other countries within the EU. The swedish gouvernment policy is that responisbility for refugees and migration is something that should be shared by all members of the union.

This paper argues that the food industry in general and the one taking place in Scania in particular, are disregarded in the official management of industrial preservation carried out in Sweden today. Despite the articulated ambition of a cultural heritage that as many as possible could identify with, the practice tend to create an industrial heritage based on stereotype ideas about the landscape in Sweden and the characteristics of industry. The way the open land of Scania differs from the traditional image of the appearance of Sweden, is used as one possible way to explain why the food industries of Scania are overseen in the management of industrial heritage. It is also argued that the high number of female employees might bee a reason why the food industries in general are given low priority in the practice of cultural heritage. By putting the Findus pea industry and the cultivated landscape that provides the factory with primary products against the official criteria for industrial memories, it is examined what values for preservation the food industry contain..

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka den samiska kvinnans roll i samisk kultur under 1600-1700-talen och den samiska kvinnans roll idag. För att kunna uppnå vårt syfte har vi som metod genomfört litteraturstudier av tidigare forskning, litterära texter, artiklar, och elektroniska källor. Resultatet visar på både kontinuitet och förändring. En av kvinnans viktigaste roller i den traditionella kulturen och religionen var som utövare av jojken. Det var vanligt att kvinnan jojkade i allmänhet, men även i vissa rituella sammanhang.

Who is the most typical woman in ELLE Sweden (2013)? In this study we investigated the typical woman represented in the Swedish fashion magazine ELLE (2013) for women. Does a typical woman exist in the magazine at all and if so ? in what words and roles is she described in? How is this woman perceived in relation to the male gender? Based on the theory of constructionism; that the gender (i.e. What is female versus male) is constructed in the society and that media has an affect on our physical and psychological well being as well as our behavior and thoughts, the investigation of the female gender representation in women magazines, was of great importance to us.

Genom en litteraturstudie syftar den här uppsatsen till att ta reda på vad icke-konfessionell religionsdidaktik innebär i dagens mångkulturella klassrum. Några möjliga svar har hittats men flera nya frågeställningar har dykt upp. I studien undersöks vad begreppen religionsdidaktik, icke-konfessionalitet och mångkulturellt klassrum innebär. Därefter väljs några metoder ut på grundval av de resultat som framkommer i undersökningen.Religionsdidaktik är konsten att lära ut (om och av) religion utan att fastna i ett monokulturellt perspektiv. De offentliga och privata sfärerna är åtskilda och det är därför möjligt att i skolan ha en icke-konfessionell undervisning samtidigt som elever i det privata kan leva nära sin religion.
