Studiens fr?gest?llningar och syfte ?r att ta reda p? hur f?rskoll?rare uppfattar och resonerar kring begreppet popul?rkultur, f?r att d?refter unders?ka om deras f?rst?else f?r begreppet har en koppling till huruvida de implementerar popul?rkultur i sitt pedagogiska arbete i f?rskolan. Studien utg?r fr?n ett sociokulturellt perspektiv d?r v?rt insamlade empiriska material bygger p? kvalitativa intervjuer. Den teknologiska utvecklingen har och forts?tter utvecklas i hastig takt fram?t och barn som v?xer upp idag m?ter sk?rmar och olika digitala medier i st?rre utstr?ckning j?mf?rt med barn fr?n tidigare generationer. I f?rskolans l?roplan (Skolverket, 2018) framg?r det tydligt att de som arbetar i f?rskolan ska ta vara p? barns intresse och nyfikenhet.

Jag har valt att ?vers?tta en popul?rvetenskaplig text fr?n spanska till svenska och d?refter unders?ka de metaforer som f?rekommer i k?lltexten, vad de f?rmedlar samt p? vilket s?tt dessa hanteras i ?vers?ttningen. I b?de k?ll- och m?ltexten f?rmedlades ?ldrandet som en linj?r, ej cyklisk process best?ende av f?rs?mringar av kroppsliga funktioner. M?nniskan liknades vid en maskin medan ting besj?lades och fenomen besj?lades.

The aim of this thesis is to study the market for fantastic fiction in Sweden, focusing on the minor publishers and their relationship with the three major publishing groups. The fantastic fiction in Swedish today are generally dominated by bestselling anglo-american authors, especially at the major publishers. The selection of fantastic fiction that is not originally in English and that diverges from the classic, epic high fantasy is often provided by minor publishers. By researching the range of fantastic fiction in Sweden today, and combining that research with qualitative interviews with informants from five minor publishers and Sweden's largest book shop for fantastic fiction, I wish to examine if the minor publishers provide an important alternative for Swedish readers of fantastic fiction. I also intend to investigate whether those publishers actively try to broaden the Swedish market and if they see themselves as a complement and an alternative rather than competing with the major publishers.This is a study in sociology of literature, focusing on a literary genre that is generally regarded as popular or trivial literature.

This thesis aims to research how megacorporations are depicted in popular media by analyzing the video game Cyberpunk 2077. In this assignment I focus on how the narrative of said game discusses economic globalization, megacorporations specifically which is accomplished using a set of theories such as: exploitation, commodification and capitalist realism. The analysis is constituted using a modified version of narrative analysis in order to better suit my research field as well as presenting a clear and concise structure a reader can follow. This study concludes that Cyberpunk 2077 constructs a dystopian world with the megacorporations holding the political power where the majority is constantly oppressed by the 1% in power. Things that we find human are questioned and diminished in order to increase the profits of those in power which tends to be the megacorporations.

Popular Culture is inherently political and the connection between popular culture and world politics in particular is something that has been established through years of research by multiple scholars. In this essay, my aim is to analyze how American Power is represented in popular culture. This is done in context of the decline of the American led liberal hegemony and a new Multiplex world order. A world order with multiple influential actors with varying levels of power. To analyze the way popular culture portrays American power, I have used the movie Top Gun: Maverick (2022) as an example and analyzed scenes from the movie.

Sociala medier ?r en del av dagens ton?rskultur, d?r Instagram, Snapchat och TikTok ?r de popul?raste apparna bland barn och unga. Forskning visar att anv?ndandet av filter p? sociala medier genererar m?jligheter att (om)f?rhandla sin identitet samt att anv?ndandet kan leda till att unga utvecklar orealistiska kroppsideal. F?r att f? en ?verblick ?ver f?ltet g?rs en strukturerad forsknings?versikt.

Digitala v?rdtj?nster har blivit alltmer popul?ra i Sverige under de senaste ?ren, men det r?der delade meningar bland forskare och v?rdanst?llda om huruvida dessa har en positiv p?verkan p? v?rdsamh?llet eller inte. Denna uppsats syftar till att unders?ka hur kostnaden f?r utoml?nsers?ttning i samband med anv?ndningen av privata digitala v?rdtj?nster har p?verkat v?ntetiderna inom prim?rv?rden. Detta g?rs genom en regressionsanalys, d?r ytterligare variabler s? som bra sj?lvskattad h?lsa, median?lder, ekonomisk standard och eftergymnasial utbildningen kontrolleras f?r.

Hip-hop music has long been an expressive medium used by individuals from marginalized areas in Sweden to address social issues and shape their identities. Through interviews with Swedish hip-hop artists and analysis of lyrics, this bachelor thesis explores the self-expression of the artists and how they express their views of society. It focuses on how social problems are expressed and understood, as well as on how the artists view the depiction of contemporary Swedish hip-hop music in media. Additionally, the study investigates how hip-hop artists themselves perceive the significance of their music lyrics. Furthermore, I explore the impact of music on the identity of hip-hop artists from marginalized areas, as perceived by the artists themselves. To gain a comprehensive understanding, the ethnographic study employs semi-structured interviews and participant observation with four non-ethnically Swedish hiphop artists who live or have grown up in disadvantaged areas in Sweden.

Bakgrund: Robot-assisterad kirurgi har blivit alltmer popul?rt och effektivt som en alternativ teknik till traditionell ?ppen kirurgi. Detta tillv?gag?ngss?tt som anv?nder ett avancerat system f?r att genomf?ra kirurgiska ingrepp har utvecklats ?ver tid och inneb?r flera f?rdelar som ?kad precision och kontroll samt minskad risk f?r komplikationer. Trots framstegen st?r kirurgiska team inf?r utmaningar med anpassning till den nya tekniken och behovet av att utveckla strategier f?r att uppn? optimalt resultat.
