Den här uppsatsen handlar om hur serietidningens narrativa likheter och olikheter med litteratur samt film och hur dessa kan användas för skapandet av ett ickelinjärt narrativ. Vi ville se var styrkan ligger i serietidningar för att försöka berätta en berättelse på ett nytt sätt som vi inte är vana vid att se. För att undersöka detta forskade vi kring vad ickelinjärt berättande är och vad som skiljer olika berättande medium från varandra. Vi applicerade sedan denna forskning i skapandet av en serietidning där vi testa de tekniker och metoder vi lärt oss om tidigare. Resultatet bygger på erfarenheterna som vi fått från skapandet av serietidningen och hur de olika narrativa likheterna samt olikheterna kunde appliceras på en serietidning.

Rapporten är en erfarenhetsbaserad reflektion över min praktiktid på 3d-produktionsföretaget Kaktus Film i Stockholm. Under min tid på företaget var jag med, från början till slut, i produktionen av en tysk musikvideo till en artist som heter Eisblume. Min roll i projektet med musikvideon var 3d-grafiker. Jag har primärt arbetat med tre olika saker; att skapa och animera blodådror som växer fram i olika miljöer, att skapa vattensimulationer och att färgmatcha och justera de renderade bilderna. Rapporten beskriver min kunskaps/arbetsprocess på Kaktus Film och de problem som uppstod i arbetet.

The aim of this study was to determine the self-perceived learning needs in patients with Coronary Heart Disease (CHD). CHD is the leading cause of death worldwide. Poor compliance is one of the causes of rehospitalisation. Patients suffering from CHD need education in order to manage their disease and prevent readmission to hospital. As hospital stays diminish the time available for patient education is limited.

The aim of this study is to see if the individual developing plans (i.e. individuella utvecklingsplaner) can be used as a tool for the special needs teacher (i.e. specialpedagog) to develop the school in its challenge to meet the needs of every child.  The study is based on contentanalycis and interviews, in order to understand how one school worked with the students´ individual developing plans.The results showed that the school did not use the plans as a tool to develop the education for each and every child, since the plans didn´t affect the tuition.The headmaster did not include the special needs teacher in the responsibility of developing the school.Even though our results showed that the school didn´t use the individual developing plans as a tool for the special educator to develop the school, we still found a possibility for developing the individual educational plans in the capacity of the special needs teacher. The study showed a need of dialogue in which teachers can reflect and problematize their actions and their teaching for the purpose of developing new understanding and new actions in the work with the individual educational plans. We believe that the profession of special needs teacher should supervise these dialogues..

Denna rapport går igenom processen av att skapa ett säljande koncept och förklarar hur man genom att ta ett steg ut ur en organisations trygghetszon kan locka nya besökare och intressenter. I det här examensarbetet har vi skapat ett marknadsförandekoncept för Studiefrämjandets ledarutbildningar. Uppdraget var att väcka ett större intresse kring utbildningarna och verktygen vi har använt oss av är digitala medier. Tillsammans med en kortfilm har vi skapat en prototyp till ett modulverktyg som i kombination med filmen fungerar som en inspirationsplats för ledarutbildningarna. Modulen som helhet har tre uppgifter; att inspirera, att motivera och att uppmana till handling.

The concept of school forest was drafted in 1970 by the Forest in School organization and is defined as an area occupied by a school for outdoor educational activity. The main purpose of this study was to examine how schools use the school forest in practice, how it can be linked to the forest as an ecosystem service and find out how the forest is taken into consideration in the spatial planning. The study is mainly qualitative in nature and has been based on interviews conducted with educators engaged in outdoor education at four selected schools in a municipality in Sweden. Focus has been on the cultural ecosystem services for school forest, for example the physical characteristics that are considered as positive, forest influence on students' physical / mental health and the educational benefits available to be in the woods. Search has also been made to see how the forest is taken into consideration in the spatial planning and also what a contract agreements involves.

In this thesis the pragmatic pedagogy as formulatad by John Dewey is applied to theswedish national campaign Digidel and its work to spread the digital participation among thegeneral public. The purpose of the thesis is to visualize and problematize that differentunderstandings of a problem, lead to different solutions, as lifted in John Dewey´s pedagogy, thatconstitutes the thesis' theoretical framework. The term digital participation is used by the Digidelcampaign, where public libraries take active part to spread digital participation througheducational efforts. By qualitative interviews with four librarians this thesis examines howunderstandings of the term may vary and in turn lead to differenent educational goals, designsand executions. The result shows that basic computer- and Internetskills are seen as either equelto or prerequisites for digital participation and that the digital participant is seen as either apassive recipient or an active participant.
