Studies have shown that air pollution, as well as bark fissure depth and sun exposure of a tree can have an effect on lichen growth as well as abundance of lichen species. The aim of this study was to find out the relative importance of these factors. 211 oaks in south eastern Sweden were surveyed for presence of 17 lichen species, as well as the total number of lichen species. Half of the trees were situated in urban areas and half in the countryside. For each tree the bark fissure depth was measured and the sun exposure of the trunk was estimated.

Denna uppsats handlar om alfabetiseringsundervisning av vuxna andraspråksinlärare. Undersökningens syfte är att ta reda på några lärares pedagogiska val i sin alfabetiseringsundervisning, vad dessa val grundar sig på samt vad lärarna anser vara befrämjande undervisning för dessa elever. Undersökningen har en fenomenologisk infallsvinkel och består av kvalitativa intervjuer med fyra lärare på två olika skolor. Resultatet visar att lärarna anser det vara viktigt med hemklassrum, att de utgår ifrån elevernas verklighet och använder helst autentiskt material och bilder, samt betonar att repetition och konkretisering är viktiga pedagogiska metoder liksom förmågan att sätta sig in i elevernas situation. Lärarna anser att det som befrämjar elevernas inlärning är tillgång till modersmålslärare och speciallärare, en trygg arbetsmiljö och att lärarna ser eleverna som kompetenta individer.

Denna studie syftar till att, ur ett multimodalt perspektiv, få kännedom om hur digitala verktyg används av lärare i undervisningssyfte på Södertörns högskola, samt studenters inställning till de medietekniska hjälpmedlen. Detta har gjorts med hjälp av observationer, intervjuer och enkätundersökningar som genomfördes med lärare och studenter.Det resultat som observationerna gav stämde överens med resultatet från intervjuer och enkätundersökningar. Studien visar att digitala verktyg används sparsamt av lärare på högskolan. Föreläsningar med PowerPoint-presentationer som i stort sett enbart innehöll text och bilder var i särklass det vanligaste undervisningsredskapet. Lärarna har generellt en positiv inställning till digitala verktyg men på grund av tidsbrist och begränsningar i hur och vilka digitala hjälpmedel som får användas i undervisningen hämmas de.

In this report listed buildings, according to the Swedish Heritage Conservation Act, have been studied with a focus on cases where economical compensation has been given to the owner of the building and cases where the listing of the building has been appealed by the owner. In order for a building to become listed it needs to be particularly valuable from a cultural and historical standpoint. The listed buildings are protected through a list of regulations that determines which parts of the building can or cannot be changed, what methods and materials should be used for changes and repairs, and how the building should be maintained. These regulations should as far as possible be formulated in agreement with the owner, but a building can become listed against the owners will. To decrease the damage this causes the owner he can in some cases have the right to economical compensation. There is also a possibility for the owner to appeal the listing of the building.

The main purpose of this essay is to investigate the legal position for employers concerning protection against what employees can express about one?s employer in social media.It may regard dissatisfaction concerning employment, tort or so-called whistleblowing. The spread through social media may be comprehensive and thus cause more damage to the employer.Employees within the public sector as well as in the private are protected by the liberty of speech, which is constitutional, even the protection of sources or the right to criticize can offer some protection. This gives the employees the possibility to widely express themselves in private social media as long as it can?t be classified as a violation, which per se is very rare.However, certain differences between the both sectors will be pointed out.There are still no constitutional rights regarding social media, but a grey area has emerged concerning the legal position.
