Konspirationsteorier ?r ett v?xande problem f?r demokratins vidmakth?llande och det finns behov f?r en ?kad f?rst?else f?r under vilka omst?ndigheter konspiratoriskt t?nkande ?r starkt. Tidigare forskning visar att hotuppfattning resulterar i subjektiva k?nslor av os?kerhet, kontrollf?rlust och oro, som kan ligga till grund f?r konspiratoriskt t?nkande. Det finns en brist p? empiriska studier av sambandet mellan hotuppfattning och konspiratoriskt t?nkande. Det finns ocks? grund att tro att sambandet kan se olika ut beroende p? vilken typ av hotfull situation det r?r sig om.

This study deals with a research on what the opening sounds in movies tell us about the story that we are about to follow. The purpose is to examine if and how the sound in the first five minutes of the movie contribute in giving information about the film?s genre. The theoretical base includes both genre theory and Michel Chion?s theory on film sound.

Den här rapporten ämnar undersöka vilket det huvudsakliga särdraget hos musikalisk genre är.En avgränsning har gjorts till hypotesen att enbart melodi är tillräckligt för att klassificera genre alltså tt melodi är det huvudsakliga särdraget hos musikalisk genre. En kvantitativ metod har använts i form av en internetbaserad tjänst där användare har fått klassificera genre på musikstycken i sin helhet, samma musikstycken med extraherad sång samt samma musikstycken representerade i syntetiserade versioner vilket representerar melodierna för musikstyckena. Statistiska metoder har sedan använts för att presentera den insamlade datan,för att efter analys komma fram till att melodi ej är tillräckligt för att klassificera genre och alltsåatt melodi ej är det huvudsakliga särdraget hos musikalisk genre..

With this paper the aim is to find out whether there are any differences in how five students from the north part of Africa structures their tales in comparison with the Nordic tale "The emperor?s new clothes". The purpose is to look at how the genre pedagogy can be said to relate to these differences. What happens to the "deviant" structures?Based on literature and research on the subject, I have concluded that there are certain patterns of how a tale "should" be structured based on Western standards.

Under vårterminen 2013 hade jag tre konserter i tre olika genrer där jag försökte jämföra mitt sångsätt i de olika genrerna för att lära mig att bli bred i genre. Jag valde att fokusera på tre saker att jämföra. Rytmik/frasering (timing), teknik och instudering.I arbetet går jag igenom varje låt och analyserar hur jag sjunger gällande rytm, frasering och teknik. Jag går också igenom hur olika instuderingen kan se ut beroende på vad det är för genre.I slutet av arbetet skrev jag i mina avslutande diskussioner om hur jag tyckte att resultatet av arbetet blev. Jag jämför likheter och skillnader och kommer fram till att inom varje genre finns likheter till en annan genre och i varje genre finns också skillnader till en annan genre.

This addresses the problems when a film doesn?t easily fit in to one specific genre. Using No Country for Old Men as an example the study analyses the film from a Western perspective. Is it possible to say that it is a western? To determine that, I compare a number of acknowledged westerns, on the basis to list a number of generic conventions.

This study is a research on how dystopian features are expressed within different genres. The purpose is to discuss films that contain dystopian features in relation to genre and to examine if there are shared conventions in the films that can make dystopia a film genre on its own. The theoretical base includes genre theory and Rick Altman?s semantic/syntactic approach to film genre. Five films from different genres, all produced within the time period of 2000-2010, are analyzed with a semantic/syntactic approach to genre and then discussed in relation to dystopia and prior research.

The purpose with my essay was to investigate how genre pedagogy works in a practical manor? I wanted to reach a deeper understanding for the genre pedagogy and to find out if it fits all students. To investigate this issue I have asked following questions:What is genre pedagogy?How do teachers work with different genres in the genre pedagogy?For whom is the genre pedagogy?Is the critic right that Frøydis Hertzberg is proposing about the genre pedagogy formalism? I have been using qualitative methods, to gather my empirical data. I have been using two unstructured interviews and one unsystematically observation, in a third grade class in a school south of Stockholm, with 30% second language students.

Bakgrund: Arbetsmiljo?verket menar att en av tio svenskar a?r utsatta fo?r mobbning pa? sin arbetsplats. Forskning visar a?ven att det a?r vanligast i ha?lso- och sjukva?rden, framfo?rallt bland sjuksko?terskorna. Syfte: Att sammansta?lla kunskap om sjuksko?terskors erfarenheter av kra?nkande sa?rbehandling mellan kollegor pa? arbetsplatsen.

Today almost every artist has a music video. With today?s technology it has become a lot easier for smaller companies or amateur filmers to produce and distribute their work. But how important is an artist?s music video and where do people find their music these days? Other questions we wanted to answer were if there is a typical way a music video looks like based on its genre.

This is a qualitative analysis that, based on systemic functional linguistics, or SFL, and genre theory, has aimed to study the genre pedagogical implications on written language as they occur in narrative stories and expositions whilst the model is introduced. Systemic functional linguistics is a linguistic theory that views the organisation of language as functional options for meaning; language is a set of resources to channel meaning through realisation. Genre theory elucidates the pragmatic and educational uses of SFL in the categorizing of language in configurations of meanings as they are set and understood in different cultures.  The purpose of the survey is to do so with focus on successful and less successful writers by attempting to answer two primal issues:How is development of written language in reference to the introduction of the genre pedagogical model visible in the studied texts?How does genre pedagogical teaching influence successful and less successful writers as visible in their writing with a certain purpose?To answer these issues the survey is based on narratives and expositions written by high school students who have been divided into two groups according to the purpose of the survey. One text in each genre has been written by the students before and after lessons based on the genre pedagogical learning wheel explaining the relevant genres.

Kra?nkande behandling och mobbning a?r ett stort problem i skolorna idag, na?got som ba?de Skolverket (2002), Myndigheten fo?r skolutveckling (2003) och barnombudsmannen Lena Nyberg (2005) har uppma?rksammat. Syftet med studien a?r, mot denna bakgrund, att underso?ka na?gra fo?ra?ldrars erfarenheter av samverkan med skolan i arbetet att fo?rhindra kra?nkande behandling och mobbning av deras egna barn. Studien syftar a?ven till att belysa fo?ra?ldrars roll som en resurs i va?rdegrundsarbetet generellt.

The purpose of this thesis is to analyze DVD covers for the genre romantic comedy from the 2000s as a way to obtain patterns and codes provided by the genre. The theoretical framework consists of previous research that analyzed various posters, theories about semiotics, genre, and visual rhetoric.  These theories will help answer the main question and help with the analysis.The objects for observation are ten DVD covers from the genre romantic comedy and a qualitative content analysis is used for this thesis. The movies are from the US and they are all high in Box Office. Box Office stands for how many tickets were sold and how much money a film has earned.
