This essay explores the novel Charlie by Margareta Suber (1932) through lesbian narrative theory.

The aim of this study is to analyse how female neopagan practitioners form their identitiesindividually as well as collectively. Using Ernesto Laclau?s and Chantal Mouffe?s discourse theory and Anthony Giddens? descriptions of late modernity and self-identity, I intend toinvestigate my informants? construction and upholding of a meaningful identity and sense ofself.

Neopaganism is an umbrella term that is used to describe a number of modern nature religions that take their inspiration from pre-Christian traditions.

In this thesis we focus on the issue of master suppression techniques and how they take form on Facebook. The research in area of master suppression techniques online is limited and therefore the purpose of this thesis is to create a greater understanding of the online environment of Facebook. We have used a method of netnographic observation studies and content analysis to create a triangular perspective of the subject. Based on the result of our observation studies we draw the conclusion that you can see signs of some of the master suppression techniques on Facebook. We also argue why others don?t show up.

Syftet med denna C-uppsats har varit att få en ökad förståelse i hur vårdgivare arbetar med människor i ett mellanrum mellan två kategorier samt att belysa den problematik som finns med att kategorisera människor som dubbeldiagnos. Dubbeldiagnos är en kategorisering som ibland skapar problem som gör att dessa klienter hamnar i ett mellanrum mellan kommunen och landstinget. Denna studie är baserad på en kvalitativ metod med grundad teori som forskningsdesign. Intervjuer har gjorts med respondenter från psykiatrin, boendeverksamhet, öppenvårdsverksamhet och socialtjänsten. Resultatet tyder bland annat på att det som är viktigast i arbetet med dubbeldiagnoser är samverkan mellan vårdgivarna.

This thesis analyses how romanies look upon schooling and how they reflect upon the possibility of getting an education. Many inquiries relating to romanies have been published in Sweden but very few are based on fieldwork among romanies. The aim of this thesis is therefore to through fieldwork focus on how romanies themselves look upon their educational situation.The main questions for this study are: How is the image of romanies as a problem constructed in school? How are romanies separated from other students? How is the interplay between romanies and school representatives formed? How do romanies look upon the possibility of getting an education and does their perception differ from the usual official apprehension?An important conclusion concerns how social workers and teachers continuously categorize romanies as different. The group is constantly differentiated from other ethnic groups and is often the target of integration projects.

Corruption is a very broad definition which is not easy to define. It happens due to the phenomenon?s complexity and its many different forms and syndromes.

The aim of this masters thesis is to learn how an organization has solved its information management via intranet and document management. The purpose is to identify what different types of information are made available via an intranet, how this information is structured and what functions the intranet includes. Conventions, directions and advice about intranets and document management were studied, with the purpose to compare whether the systems of the company correlate with these. Other issues considered in the thesis, are how the employees of the organization use the intranet and how the document management is organized. To get an understanding of these questions the structure and functions of the intranet were studied empirically and a questionnaire on what the employees need and use, concerning the intranet, was sent out to 130 employees.

 SammanfattningEn lärare måste vara förberedd på att i sitt klassrum möta elever som har olika behov och förutsättningar. Elever lär också på olika vis och behöver olika mycket stöttning. Detta gör att läraren måste ha kunskap till att anpassa undervisningen utefter individen och gruppens behov. När man som lärare får en elev till klassen som har ett ovanligt funktionshinder så bör det ställas högre krav på arbetssättet, för att eleven ska kunna tillgodogöra sig undervisningen på bästa sätt.Syftet med undersökningen är att belysa hur pedagogerna i klassen uppfattar lärandet samt hur de anpassar undervisningen utefter individens behov och förutsättningar. Mina frågeställningar är hur bedrivs undervisning i ett klassrum i skolans tidigare år där det finns en synskadad elev? Samt vad innebär det för ett barn att ha en synskada?I mitt arbete har jag gjort en litteraturundersökning för att få en vidgad bild på ett synskadat barns behov.

What are the current themes, what range of theories and methods are used in our research material? 2.
