In 1990 the education training program for teachers working with children with special needs was changed. One major difference in the new program compared with the former one is that the specialized teacher is now mainly supposed to supervise teachers instead of teaching pupils who have learning difficulties. The aim of this qualitative interview study has been to find out what the specialized tea

1945 bildades FN i kölvattnet av andra världskriget enligt principen att ingripa i mellanstatliga krig eller om den internationella säkerheten hotades. Sedan dess har konflikter fått mer komplicerad karaktär och krigföring ändrat skepnad. På så sätt är FN inte anpassat till dagens konflikter eftersom organisationens konflikthantering i grunden bygger på att konflikter är mellanstatliga. Den uppfat

Bakgrunden till uppsatsen grundas i ett allmänintresse i hur organisationer som dagligen påverkar den enskilde medborgaren förändras. Efterhand blev vi mer intresserade av hur förändringen påverkat de som arbetar inom organisationen och hur deras möjlighet att påverka sin vardag har förändrats. Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att undersöka och diskutera hur mellanchefer på Försäkringskassans handli

In this essay I have aimed to examine how the theology of Paul Tillich relate to modern views of reality, both the way it was expressed in his contemporary time and the way I see it today. Reality I have defined as an entirety of the physic- and metaphysic reality. A so called panentism where God is reality and the world is a part of this reality. With Tillichs Systematic Theology as my principal

Denna uppsats tar sin utgångspunkt i ungdomars identitetsarbete i konsumtionssamhället och hur detta identitetsarbete påverkas av massmedier med fokus på reklambilder och tv program. Massmedier är framträdande till största del under ungdomars fritid. Dessutom fokuserar reklam på att framhäva livsstilar och identiteter som kan sammanbindas med fritidens värden. Mina problem kretsar omkring hur ko

This paper is mainly inspired by formal research results and philosophical considerations in ?A guide to intensional semantics?, written in 1973 by Bengt Hansson and Peter Gärdenfors. That essay was focused on the philosophy of semantics for modal logics, with special attention to completeness results. The purpose of the essay was to exhibit a negative trend in modal logic regarded as a philosoph

This essay is a discourse and a feminist theoretical analysis that focuses on the alternative discourse that we consider Feminist Initiative to be constitutive of. Our theoretical stance, with base in Laclau and Mouffes discourse theory, builds on the notion that reality is characterised by conflicts between different competing discursive formations and that the social is an endless struggle over

Den 1 februari 2003 trädde den lagändring som innebar att homosexuella par fick lov att prövas som adoptivföräldrar i kraft. Inför lagändringen tillsatte regeringen 1999 "Kommittén om barn i homosexuella familjer" som ledde utredningen vilken resulterade i SOU rapporten (2001: 10) "Barn i homosexuella familjer" som jag har valt att analysera. Uppsatsens syfte är att visa på at

Abstract Sammanfattning: Uppsatsen handlar om hur ungdomar förhåller sig till talet om pornografi, hur de uppfattar, definierar och resonerar kring fenomenet i förhållande till sig själva och till andra fenomen. I uppsatsen vill jag visa på hur mötet mellan två olika diskurser, en som reglerar sexualitet och en som reglerar förhållandet vuxen/ungdom, styr hur ungdomar förhåller sig till och reson

Frågor som berör ungdomar med sociala problem har länge varit av intresse för mig. I inledningsskedet av uppsatsarbetet kom jag att bli särskilt intresserad av en ung flicka, Saga. Hennes liv har fyllts med sociala problem som i grunden har varit kopplade till föräldrarnas missbruk, främst till mammans. Hennes pappa dog av sitt missbruk när hon var tolv år. Jag valde att göra en fallstudie om Saga

Med denna studie avser vi att identifiera vilka hinder som finns i demokratise-ringsprocessen. För att göra detta använder vi oss utav en historisk-sociologisk te-ori, presenterad utav Rueschemeyer, Stephens, Stephens (1992). Teorin bygger på antagandet att det är maktrelationen mellan samhällets klasser som styr förutsätt-ningarna för en demokratisk utveckling, där en stark markägande elit samt e
