Stigma caused by society leads to people being divided into groups which in term results in a general loss of status and discrimination.

Method: We chose to make a literature review to explore and compile the current research on the subject.

Syftet med mitt arbete var att undersöka om det fanns skillnader på flickors och pojkars motoriska färdigheter i år 5. Dessutom om denna eventuella skillnad har påverkat deras val av slöjdart i år 7-9. Kunskap om motoriska färdigheter och olikheter inhämtades dels genom litteratur i ämnet och dels genom information på Internet. Elevernas inställning om sina motoriska färdigheter undersöktes både genom enkät och med observationer och foto. De elever som ingick i undersökningen tillhörde skolår 5 och undervisades i textilslöjd.

Gruppundervisning för piano är en ovanlig företeelse och är därför intressant att undersöka. Traditionellt har pianoundervisning, på grund av olika faktorer, skett individuellt.Undersökningen består av kvalitativa intervjuer med fem instrumentallärare, fyra i piano och en i gitarr, och nio pianoelever. Förutom intervjuer har tre ostrukturerade, naturalistiska observationer genomförts i tre grupplektioner för piano. Pianoelever från respektive lektion har intervjuats.Gitarrundervisning har en längre tradition av undervisning i grupp och det var därför givande att undersöka om det finns likheter mellan gruppundervisning för de olika instrumenten.I undersökningen framkommer att det finns många fördelar och få nackdelar med gruppundervisning. Fördelar med gruppundervisning är att det av pianoeleverna uppfattas som roligare och mer socialt än enskild.

This thesis has been written with the intention of investigating a commercial lending library to be found in Stockholm in the first decades of the nineteenth century. We chose this subject because it is a relatively unexplored area. Furthermore, we were curious to know what books could be found in the library. The lending library was run as a business thus giving a good indication of the contemporary reader's taste in literature. The lending library that we chose had a total of three thousand titles in those of its catalogues that have survived to the present day and was run by a woman called Eva Unander.

North Korea is considered to be the most autocratic dictatorship in the world today. Its citizens are denied their most basic human rights and North Koreas ambition to pursue nuclear weapons is looked upon with great fear from the international community and the US in particular. Some experts say that the threat from North Korea is far greater than the one possessed by Saddam Hussein. Although North Korea seems to inhabit all the necessary criteria for an US military intervention the United States has openly declared its diplomatic ambitions with the state. Why?With the use of realist and social construction theory this study will bring clarity to why the United States prefers diplomacy instead of a military intervention.

In a world where digital media is becoming a greater part of people?s everyday and working lives it is plausible to assume that the upcoming generation of pupils expect the teaching media to adapt thereafter. It is this assumption of an increased demand that Natur & Kultur is hoping to be able to meet. This thesis has been a stage in the process of producing digital material in the subject of mathematics for high school students. Specifically the aims of this thesis have been to make a rough description of the largest competitive companies? products within the same market, explore and put together a brief theoretical foundation of contemporary research and produce concrete examples of ideas for digital applications.

The family and relatives caring for older people in Sweden lies on an old tradition. The responsibility to care for older family members has gone from family to the society. The aim of this study was to examine the needs of family caregivers and their experience of municipality support.

The caregivers were not allowed to work more than 50 percent in another job.

Till svenska sjukhus, vårdcentraler och äldreboende kommer patienter med en annan kulturell bakgrund. På grund av detta krävs att en sjuksköterska har en bra förståelse, en bred och djup insikt i olika kulturer och levnadssätt för att ge patienten ett gott bemötande. Syftet med studien var att beskriva kunskap om de olika faktorer som kan påverka sjuksköterskans bemötande av patienter med muslimsk bakgrund. En litteraturstudie har genomförts, som baseras på vetenskapliga artiklar och fokuserar på bemötande av patienter med muslimsk bakgrund. Materialet har bearbetats genom innehållsanalys.

In this work I have examined how two violin students, who are used to the classical music tradition, think when they learn to play Swedish folk music, with focus on rhythm and beating the time with their feet. One of the students is studying on her first year to be a classical violin teacher and the other student is studying on her third year to be a classical musician, both are studying at Malmö Academy of Music. I had three lessons, one hour each, with these two students where I taught them some basics in how to play Swedish folk music. After the last lesson I interviewed the two students. I have done interviews with two teachers at Malmö Academy of Music; Wieslawa Szymczynska and Mats Edén.

The aim of this study is to provide a comprehensive overview of C?ronis beeswax varnish by Lefranc & Bourgeois; its contents, aging properties, solubility, and possible removal methods, with G?teborgs Konstmuseum?s ?Gothenburg Museum of Art? collection as the stud??s material? The purpose of the study is to provide a basis for decision-making regarding the treatment of works treated with C?ronis wax varnish. The study is based on contemporary conservation theory and interpretation-based decision-making and utilizes FTIR, microscopy, and solubility tests to examine the properties of the varnish. The study shows that C?ronis does not appear to be harmful to the treated works and has retained its solubility properties and transparency over time.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att genom en diskursanalys undersöka hur objekten kristna rum, riter och ritualer konstrueras i Kyrkans Tidning. Avsikten har dels varit att få en bättre förståelse för objektens innebörd, dels att se vilken bild av dessa som förmedlas till läsarna. De dominerande diskurserna i mitt material har varit den politiska, juridiska, kulturella och ekumeniska diskursen. Den musikaliska diskursen och säkerhets-, traditions- och arrangemangsdiskursen har också varit vanliga. Den religiösa diskursen har också kunnat identifieras på många ställen, men bedöms ändå som svagare än förväntat med tanke på den rika tradition av riter och symboler som ryms inom kyrkan och dess historia.

The principle of proportionality is considered one of the most important contemporary legal principles on which it intends to protect individual citizens against disproportionate action by the authorities. This aroused our interest prior to this study. The essay reveals how such behavior might look like and how courts have chosen to adjudicate in cases where the individual has been discriminated against or subjected to unreasonable demands in public procurement. That section of the law that were current throughout all court cases are Public Procurement Act (2007:1097) LOU. That which we have seen in every court case is that the applicant has not received a proper fair chance when the requirements of the contract often been asked in a way that either exclude the smaller applicant company or rule out various potential applicants parties due to excessive and sometimes unnecessary requirements.

Syskonbädd, or ?Sibling?s bed? in English, is a short story or drama, written by Swedish author Stina Aronson and originally published in 1931 under the pen name Sara Sand. While the story did not attract wide attention for many years, it has recently been republished and performed on stage, as well as aired on the radio. The plot is centered on Harriet, a woman who starts to see the world with different eyes, in a less strict and organized way. Her new view is welcomed neither by her husband nor society, and the book starts with Harriet?s escape from a ?rest home?, where she has been placed by her husband in order for her to return to her old self.
