This report is an analysis of the gender representation in Swedish sports media, a comparison between sport in public service television for adults and children. The study explores the differences between the number of male and female sports in the matter of air time and also the number of male and female appearances in the TV shows. The programs studied in this report are the Swedish SVT?s Sportspegeln and Lilla sportspegeln. When we began this analysis we were under the impression that men would be over-represented, but that representation in sports television for children would be more gender equal than the adult counterpart. The result of the analysis confirmed previous studies stating that men dominate the sports programs in Swedish public service television.

Mediernas marknader konvergerar och det finns alltfler medieformer att ta del av samma innehåll på, så utbudet på mediemarknaden förändras. Konkurrensen hårdnar, vilket leder till att medieföretag och deras ägande mediekonglomerat går samman, samt sprider sig horisontellt på flera arenor. Man måste synas och konsumeras för att existera.När det skapas nya mediekanaler är det av relevans att förstå vad det innebär. Kritiskt tänkande behövs för att behålla den demokrati som råder och de medborgerliga rättigheter som hör där till. Människor skapar sig en bild av omvärlden genom medierna.

SammanfattningDenna uppsats har som syfte att undersöka om och hur lärare bedriver utomhuspedagogik i Sydafrika samt hur lärarna definierar begreppen natur och miljö. Undersökningen skedde på en skola i en svart kåkstad i Östra Kapprovinsen i Sydafrika, genom intervjuer med tre lärare i årskurs 4.

Forestry and forest products are vital components of the Swedish economy but the forest is also important for recreation, hunting, out-door life and conserving biodiversity. The Swedish Forest Act has two equally important objectives, production and environmental protection. Polytax is the Swedish Forest Agency´s inventory programme which monitors progress toward the two objectives in connection with regeneration fellings. It includes data on environmental protection measures taken in connection with regeneration fellings. 30 § of the Swedish Forestry Act and related regulations specify the demands for conserva-tion of nature.

The aim of this study was to examine which norms are applicable and how they are reproduced in two sports organisations. More specifically the aim was to find out how the leaders worked with gender roles and what message the organisations give out to young people. And at the same time, find out if there are similarities and differences between two different organisations, regarding norms and gender roles.  The study was based on observations and interviews. The observations were made during and after training in an ice hockey team and two gymnastic teams for girls nine to thirteen years old. The interviews were conducted with seven leaders and one senior ice-hockey player.

Denna studies syfte är att undersöka om det finns ett samband mellan föräldrars attityder (krav, förväntningar och stöd) till ungdomars idrottande och ungdomarnas upplevelse av negativ stress. Studien utgår från Karaseks och Theorells (1990) krav-kontrollmodell som beskriver förhållandet mellan upplevda krav och upplevd kontroll som avgörande för hur individens situation upplevs och om den leder till positiv eller negativ stress. Enkäter delades ut till föräldrar (n=77) och ungdomar (n=77) inom olika idrottsförbund. Resultatet visar att föräldrarnas attityder är positiva och att ungdomarnas upplevelse av stress är låg. Inget samband påträffades mellan föräldrarnas attityder och ungdomarnas upplevelse av negativ stress inom idrottandet.

Jumper´s knee is a common overuse injury due to repetitive microtrauma to the patellar tendon. It is especially common among athletes who are involved in sporting activities that involve jumping or fast running. The term jumper´s knee was adopted after Blazina published his original paper in 1973. Its pathology can be considered as a partial or total rupture of the patellar tendon in one of its three insertions. The aim of this literature study was to review the methods used to treat this condition and the results obtained focusing on pain relief and returning to previous sport or level of activity.
