The ambition of this paper is to study the construction of the categorization between ?us? and ?them? in a religious minority, represented by Jehovah?s Witnesses and a nationalist political party, represented by the Swedish Democrats. This will be done by a discursive psychology analysis of their official publications on each group?s website. By a deductive study using Henri Tajfel?s Social Identity Theory trying to disclose the psychological processes; social categorization, social identity, social comparison and psychological distinctiveness.

Social media on the Web has become more common over the last decade and in recent years it has grown immensely. The social media with the highest amount of members is Facebook, where not only private persons are found - companies started to establish their profiles on the network in 2006. However, little is known about how these companies succeed and reach their audience with information dissemination and interact with them. The aim of this study is to contribute with information to local companies on how they can manage to maintain their activity with different approaches and strategies. This study examines how three different local companies chooses to spread information and maintain relationships with their members on Facebook.

I denna rapport görs en kartläggning på uppdrag av Sidas kommunikationsavdelning hur organisationen arbetar i dagsläget med rörlig media. Utifrån detta tas förslag fram på förbättringsområden och strategier för Sidas fortsatta arbete med rörliga medier. Rapporten är tänkt att bidra till underlag för framtida planering och beslutsfattande kring rörliga medier.Bakgrunden till studien är att kommunikationsavdelningen på Sida har märkt en ökad efterfrågan på rörlig media som kommunikationsmetod. I dagsläget är det främst tre typer av rörlig media som tagit fram hittills; filmning och direktsändning av seminarier, videointervjuer med experter och kända personer och en videoserie med namnet ?Människan i centrum?.

Kritisk design a?r ett forsknings- och innovationsomra?de under utveckling. Teorin har anva?nts inom ma?nga designrelaterade omra?den och a?mnar fa? konsumenterna att bli mer kritiska na?r det kommer till hur deras vardagliga liv styrs av olika fo?resta?llningar, va?rderingar, ideologier och behavioristiska mo?nster som finns info?rlivade i design (Dunne & Raby, 2001). Eftersom kritisk design a?r en teori som stra?var efter att fo?ra?ndra i praktiken ligger utmaningen idag i att skapa praktiska exempel som visar hur utfo?randet kan ga? till, vilket a?r en no?dva?ndighet fo?r att teorin ska kunna utvecklas (Bardzell et al., 2012).Denna studie a?mnar vara metodutvecklande genom att skapa en uppsa?ttning verktyg utifra?n utvalda delar (teoretiska metoder och perspektiv) ur kritisk design.

Det övergripande syftet med den här studien är att, som slöjdlärare, bättre förstå den egna verksamheten i lektionssalen och därmed få större möjligheter att vidareutveckla planering och didaktiska insatser. I ett examensarbete på egen hand och med små möjligheter till kollegialt stöd, har det varit speciellt intressant att se vad en videokamera kan erbjuda i grundmaterial för en uttolkning av det som händer. Det preciserade syftet har blivit; Att utifrån aktivitetsmönster bedöma hur effektiva mina slöjdlektioner är idag, samt att söka förbättringar med stöd i styrdokument, forskning och lokala pedagogiska satsningar. Studien visar att de två lektionerna utgör en något svår miljö för eleverna att utvecklas i. En principiell arbetsgång enligt slöjdprocessen har etablerats hos eleverna, men de går in i de självständiga arbetspassen med dålig planering och dålig förtrogenhet med nödvändiga verktyg. Den begränsade tillgången till läraren räcker inte för att upprätthålla effektiva slöjdprocesser genom hela lektionen. Högre effektivitet är möjlig att åstadkomma, både till produktivitet och nytta. Nyttan i form av lärande i slöjd kommer sannolikt att gynnas av att produktiviteten ökar hos elever med en utdragen slöjdprocess.

Internet's entry into our home has changed our communication capabilities. As a result more and more services in the digital world are available. Besides e.g. shopping, gaming and general information, different social networks now offer preventive and therapeutic health-oriented services. When being asked by several young people, with whom I have been working in a clinical setting, to offer conversations over the Internet that enables both to see and to hear each other in real time, I decided to conduct a pilot study which is presented in this paper. The aim was to investigate the feasibility of offering supportive therapy using video calls over the Internet.

Under mina åtta år som elgitarrist har jag alltid i ensemblesammanhang spelat tillsammans med ytterligare minst ett ackordinstrument. Det har resulterat i att jag alltid anpassat mitt spel till vad de övriga ackordinstrumenten har spelat, för att skapa ett luftigt och bra arrangemang. Att spela i en mindre ensemble bestående av trummor, bas och elgitarr innebär en ny utmaning för mig som elgitarrist. Genom att välja ut fyra låtar och arbeta med dem utifrån tre specifika frågeställningar har jag i detta arbete undersökt mitt elgitarrspelande i denna mindre sättning. På grund av omständigheter som uppstod under arbetets gång, tillkom även en femte låt.

Syftet med denna studie är att belysa och undersöka hur individer med diagnosen ADHD upplever att det är att leva med ADHD och hur de upplever att deras funktionsnedsättning har påverkat deras identitet och tillhörighet till omgivningen och om tidpunkten för diagnostiseringen har påverkat deras identitet och upplevelser av tillhörighet. Jag vill även undersöka hur vanligt förekommande det är att dessa individer med ADHD någonsin har upplevt sig bli stigmatiserade av samhället på grund av sin diagnos. Jag har genom att utföra halvstrukturerade livsvärldsintervjuer försökt att få svar på dessa frågor och med hjälp av socialpsykologiska teorier så som Vanessa Mays teori om tillhörighet, Erving Goffmans teori om Stigma och Jonas Stiers och Anthony Giddens perspektiv på identitetsteorin och även med hjälp av ett antal vetenskapliga artiklar analyserat mitt insamlade empiriska material. De individer som jag har intervjuat bor i olika delar av Sverige utan någon relation till varandra, varav två av dessa intervjuer utfördes genom video-chattprogrammet Skype på grund av avståndet mellan oss. Alla respondenter är vuxna individer i åldrarna 24-60 och de hade många erfarenheter av att leva med funktionsnedsättningen ADHD.

In some criminal cases, the only existing evidence is the verbal statement of a witness or the plaintiff. The typical example is an alleged rape where victim and perpetrator have had some kind of relation, and their records of the incident differ. In these cases, the assessment of the value of the evidence drawn from the plaintiff's story is of crucial importance. On the one hand, a false positive judgment means that a person is wrongly convicted, on the other hand, a failure to correctly identify a truthful claim of rape means that a victim of a severe crime is left without judicial remedy. That the prosecutor must prove that the crime is committed by the defendant without reasonable doubt, means that there is much more chance of a failure to convict guilty felons, than of the opposite.In the essay, the rules of criminal procedure directed at the evaluation of the verbal statement are identified and critically evaluated from the perspective of how they may or may not facilitate the judgment of a verbal statement presented before the court, either in person, or through other media such as video.

During the spring of 2013 we developed a visual identity for Jönköping Bandy, a bandy association in Jönköping, which was founded in 1947.Jönköping Bandy?s main problem was the low interest for the association by the local people. The association also had problems with the economy, which made it hard for them to merchandise themselves.In Jönköping, there were a lot of sport associations, and therefore, it was difficult to find sponsors. One way to help the association, was to create a good visual identity for them. A visual identity that would reflect on the proper values of the association.The intention was: ?Through graphical design, we want to convey Jönköping Bandy to a larger amount of people, and get increased knowledge in graphical idiom.? and was torn apart into these three questions:What core values does Jönköping Bandy have, and how can we convey them through the visual identity?Which visual materials does Jönköping Bandy need?How do other teams in Allsvenskan Södra merchandise themselves through their websites?The work began with a study of relevant theoretical literature, with focus on graphical design.

This Master's thesis in Library and Information Science aims to explore if personal patterns can be detected in web-searching. It is based on a study where the search sessions of nine test persons were video-recorded, transcribed into logs and analysed.A major objective was to find out whether there is a correlation between individual searchers' personal attributes and their web search behaviour. The logs were therefore compared with the test persons' results in a learning style test (Kolb's Learning Style Inventory) and with interview answers about information behaviour and personal background.While several patterns were indeed discovered, none of them turned out to be strictly personal. The nine test persons could be divided into five types of searchers: the purely analytic searcher; the generally analytic searcher; the balanced searcher; the mixed searcher and the browser. All types of searchers were found to have the attribute learning style in common.

We are currently more aware than ever about the impact of food on our health, but in the same time this trend put more pressure on the food retailers to do as much as possible to help their customers manage their weight and be healthy in general. This study aims to examine the corporate social responsibility for consumer health in food retailing, in which ways the companies promote healthy eating; in what extent they do it and also the motives for companies for corporate responsibility. The empirical study is limited to the market leading companies in Sweden, Coop and ICA, because the performance of the leading companies puts them in the strongest position to profit from shifting consumer trends, grow revenues and penetrate new markets and also enable them to make a strong case for the effectiveness of voluntary action, obviating the need for government intervention. A qualitative method was used in this study to get an accurate understanding how the food retailers take social responsibility for consumers health. The study is based on interviews with experts in the food retailers Coop and ICA, and the companies reporting in this area, annual reports, corporate responsibility reports and websites.

This master thesis is made of two parts. The first part concerns the method and results ofdesigning a motion control system for a piece of research-equipment called BIRGIT. Theequipment is made to be used for research on eyemovements. In the second part, a computermodel of a part of the balance organ in the inner-ear is developed. The work has been done atthe Bernadotte laboratory at S:t Erik Eye Hospital.The equipment the control system is made for is a so-called rotationchair.

Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate how context-specific and generic scaffolding affect upper secondary school students' conversations during laboratory work in chemistry and find out if meaningful exploratory conversations taking place that increase the students' understanding. Theory: Previous studies show that there are difficulties for students to both handle practical material in laboratory work and create meaningful conceptual understanding. It needs to be more minds on than hands on. This study has a socio-cultural basis where language is an important basis for thinking. Previous studies show that the exploratory conversation is important for creating understanding.

The world we live in becomes more globalized as a result of new communication media. Communication occurs over greater distances which leads to increased travel. In the report AR5, by IPCC, it is showed that the human impact of climate change is clear and that something has to be done. Therefore its very important to change the human impact. A part of it is to change the way we travel within the service which leads to the purpose of the thesis.
