Syftet med studien var att undersöka vilken effekt ljud har på korrekturläsning när texten harett typsnitt som ökar svårigheten på uppgiften (Haettenschweiler) och hur det skiljer sig fråneffekten när texten har ett typsnitt som är mer lättläst (Times New Roman). Experimentethade tre ljudbetingelser: tystnad, roterat tal och tal. En 2×3 variansanalys med upprepadmätning användes för att analysera resultatet. Två typer av fel tillämpades i texterna: stavfeloch kontextuellt felaktiga ord. Resultatet visade att man blir sämre på att hitta kontextuelltfelaktiga funktionsord i talbetingelsen, men bara i Times New Roman, inte iHaettenschweiler.

Within this essay a study is made of an LGBTQ-orientated Christian service in Stockholm called Queer Service. The following questions seek to be answered: What reasons does an individual set for his/hers participation in Queer Service? Which aspects of a queer service highlight the participants as important to them?As a method to answer these questions, the author has observed a number of queer church services in autumn of 2012. Moreover communication within the group of the assembly on the social media page Facebook has been followed and five individuals from the Queer Service congregation have been interviewed. As a background to the study, the European religious climate seen from Grace Davies eyes is depicted.  The reader also learns of how the Swedish church has handled questions about homosexuality and bisexuality and what liberation theology is.

Avsikten med uppsatsen är att undersöka vilken funktion mat har i romantrilogin Hungerspelen samt vilket budskap som därmed förmedlas genom maten som symbol. Med hjälp av Hans Biedermanns Symbollexikonet tokas de olika råvaror som förekommer i maten i Hungerspelen för att därefter analyseras med hjälp av teorier från Umberto Eco och Roman Jakobson. UNdersökningen viasr att maten används för att symbolisera flera olika relationer eller identiteter, inte sällan med sexuella undertomer. Flera av råvarorna har också metalingvistiska funktioner och kan därmed sägas skapa bilder i bilden. De budskap som förmedlas genom maten är främst ett ifrågasättande av ung kvinnlighet och vad det innebär samt vad en uppdelnig i vi och dem kan leda till..

During the three first centuries A.D the cult to roman emperor was practiced over the absolute majority of the known world. It was based on the idea of the deified ruler, where religion was used as a way of legitimizing a social position of an absolute few.

During the same period of time did a new aristocratic social group emerge in remote Scandinavia that eagerly sought new ways to identify themselves and their newly found social standing. With a base consisting of an economic surplus they wanted to create an acceptance for their new way of life and thus in doing so change the very foundation and core beliefs of their own society.The central theme of this study is the cultural exchange that took place between these two cultural spheres and mainly of the effect that the cult to the roman emperor had on the emergence and identification process of the Scandinavian aristocracy..
