This essay concerns the temperance movements Blue Ribbon and White Ribbon inNorrbotten, Sweden. Their ideas about alcohol, industrialisation, family, humanity andproductivity. The period examined is 1905-1985, which nearly covers the whole of themovements history. Swedish and international research on the subject reveals temperancemovements had a negative view on the industrial society during the late 19th and early 20thcentury. The perceived problems were alcoholism and predatory capitalism. The family wasvalued highly both in itself and through its importance for the future well-being of the nation.The same results applies to Blue Ribbon and White Ribbon in Norrbotten. In addition greedwas seen as problematic, as well as lost productivity due to alcohol consumption. Humanitywas seen as very important, both within and between countries.

Different perspectives has been explored with the intention that the project will lead to innovation for the language culture. Traditions need to be developed over time and language modernized, for youth to be able to identify themselfs with language and therefore pass on meänkieli to the next generation of speakers. The project means to break with tradition around the minority-language meänkieli through graphic design. The range of litterature for youth is thin, today are most books for children or adults. The culture around meänkieli is often build with old traditions, which contributes to the lack of innovations. To understand how graphic design can raise language the background and relevant theories about graphic design needs to be explained. / Olika perspektiv har utforskats med intentionen att projektet ska leda till innovationer för språkets kultur. Traditioner bör utvecklas över tid och språk moderniseras, för att ungdomar ska kunna identifiera sig med språk och därmed också föra meänkieli vidare till nästa generation av talare. Projektet menar att bryta traditioner kring minoritetsspråket meänkieli genom grafisk design. Utbudet av litteratur för ungdomar är tunt, i dagens läge finns flest böcker för barn eller äldre. Kulturen kring meänkieli är ofta uppbyggd på gamla traditioner, vilket bidrar till avsaknaden av innovationer. För att förstå hur grafisk design kan lyfta språket behöver bakgrunden och relevant teori om grafisk design förklaras.

Fokuset i denna undersökning har varit att undersöka huruvida kemiundervisningen inom området stökiometri i Sverige skiljer sig med avseende på; geografiskt område, skolstorlek, ålder på de deltagande lärarna samt deras arbetslivserfarenhet. Data samlades in genom användning av internetbaserade enkäter, de distribuerades via e-mail och skapades i Google drive. Svaren från enkäterna presenteras antingen via olika sorters diagram eller i en sammanfattande text beroende på om frågorna var slutna respektive öppna frågor. För att analysera den insamlade datan användes två olika metoder; kvalitativ innehållsanalys, som användes för att analysera de öppna frågorna samt de huvudsakliga böckerna lärarna använder sig av, och bivariat analys, som användes för att analysera de slutna frågorna. Då denna studie är för liten för att kunna dra några riktiga slutsatser presenteras enbart de tendenser författarna kan se utifrån de svar som har getts i enkäten. Utifrån resultaten verkar det geografiska området inte ha lika stor inverkan som resterande faktorer. Skolstorleken påverkar däremot hur lärare väljer att lägga upp sin undervisning. De tendenser som kan ses är att det är åldern samt arbetslivserfarenheten som har störst påverkan ifråga om hur lärarna lägger upp sin undervisning. Alla lärare angav att de använder sin huvudsakliga lärobok till tämligen stor del i sin undervisning. Gällande de fyra områden inom stökiometri - substansmängdsberäkningar, substansmängdsförhållande, begränsande reagens samt koncentrationsberäkningar - som undersöktes med avseende på läroböckerna angav alltid minst hälften av lärarna att de nyttjade sin huvudbok. De böcker lärarna angett som sina huvudböcker har stora skillnader i text- och exempelmängd samt text- och exempelkvalité och det var möjligt att associera vissa av elevernas svårigheter till läroböckernas brister. / The focus of this study has been to examine whether the chemistry education in stoichiometry differs in regard to; geographical area, school size, age of the participating teachers and their professional experience. Data was collected through use of internet-based surveys, because they were distributed via e-mail and were created in Google drive. The answers from the surveys are presented either through diagrams or in a summary depending on if the questions were closed or open respectively. To analyse the collected data two methods were used; qualitative content analysis, which was used to analyse the open questions as well as the main textbooks the teachers used, and bivariate analysis, which was used to analyse the closed questions. Because this study is too small to draw any real conclusions only the tendencies the authors can observe through the answers to the survey are presented. From the results, the influence of the geographic area does not seem as big as the influence from the remaining factors, but the school size seems to have some influence on how teachers choose to set up their teaching. Age and professional experience seem to have the biggest influence on how teachers set up their teaching. All of the teachers indicated that they use their main textbook to a fairly large extent in their teaching. Regarding the four areas of stoichiometry - calculations on amount of substance, mole ratio, limiting reactant and concentration calculations - that were investigated in regard to the textbooks at least half the teachers always indicated that they used their main textbooks. The textbooks the teachers indicated as their main books had major differences in the amount of text and examples as well as the quality of text and examples, and it was possible to associate some of the student’s difficulties to the deficiencies of the textbooks.

This essay is about classhabitus. It concerns No1Tbottnic railway navvies and other working­class families lifestyle and revealed preferences. Gender and class is seen as important in order to explain gender relations concerning division of labour, childcare and the function of homes. The results show that railway navvies had a clear view concerning appropriate tasks for men and women to perform. The same is true for other working-class families, although they had a more equal view on this. Railway navvies had often bad relations with people outside the family. The children of navvies had a lot of work to perform and these tasks were gender coded. Other workning-class children tasks were more flexible concerning these codes. Living conditions in the homes were generally bad although it was seen as important to arrange things as good as possible.

This bachelor thesis analyze a library collaboration called Bibliotek Norrbotten’s strategy, goals and guidelines for their resourse sharing of digital resources and library materials. The questions that were asked was; What kind of guidelines and goals is there for their resource sharing? And how does it look in connection to services and media? What kind of strategy is there that apply to all libraries in the collaboration? Which challenges, if they have occured, have been encountered and how did they work through them? The theoretical framework consist of Kaufman, P(2012) theory about how a successful collaboration is built up, Kanter, R. M(1994) theory on how a rewarding collaboration is similar to human relationship and Rowley, J(2011) theory about innovative strategies within libraries. The method that was used to collect material was in the form of interviews and supportive dokuments. Five informants were interviewed. This study concludes that the libraries within Bibliotek Norrbotten have created common goals when it comes to their resourse sharing and that their resourse sharing is linked to these goals. The goal is to have the users in focus, which can be seen in the end result, and to offer a higher library service. This study also shows that for the collaboration to achieve their goals and to improve the library service, the collaboration has developed common strategies and guidelines.

The focus of this bachelor’s thesis are the strategies, goals, and guidelines for the sharing of digital resources and library materials of the collaborating libraries “Bibliotek Norrbotten”. The questions asked were; What goals do Bibliotek Norrbotten want to achieve with their resource sharing? How can resource sharing look in connection to services and media? What kind of strategies are there that apply to all libraries in the collaboration? Which challenges, if any, have been encountered and how did they work through them? The theoretical framework consist of Kaufman, P(2012) theory about how a successful collaboration is built up, Kanter, R. M(1994) theory on how a rewarding collaboration is similar to human relationship and Rowley, J(2011) theory about innovative strategies within libraries. The method that was used to collect material was in the form of interviews and supportive documents. Five informants were interviewed. This study concludes that it is not easy to create a collaboration with resource sharing, but Bibliotek Norrbotten is a god example of a successful collaboration. Libraries within Bibliotek Norrbotten have created common goals when it comes to their resource sharing and that their resource sharing is linked to these goals. The goal is to have the users in focus and to offer an improved library service. This study also shows that for collaborations to achieve their goals and to improve the library service, the collaboration must develop common strategies and guidelines.

The aim of this study was to examine cultural heritage values and restoration approaches related to traditional Sámi buildings in Norrbotten, Sweden. The methods used were interviews and studies of reports from restoration processes and of literature. The study showed that different values are important to consider during restorations. Values connected to a building's ability to convey historical information were emphasized, for example aspects such as form, construction and building techniques, developments, life patterns and the historic use of a place. Values related to the experience of a building and its surroundings were also highlighted, for example values connected to identity, tradition and symbolic value. The restoration approaches visible in the study regarded questions about the use and significance of materials, type of measures, craftmanship and attitude towards modern additions. The importance of documentation and the collecting of knowledge during restorations were emphasized, as well as the need for understanding why restorations are carried out.

The electricity demand in Norrbotten County is expected to increase from 8 TWh in 2019 to 107 TWh in 2050. A contributing role to the large electricity demand in Norrbotten County is that LKAB will make large investments within the company. LKAB's electricity needs will increase from 2 TWh in 2020 to 50 TWh in 2040. LKAB believes that wind power is one of the best options for getting energy quickly at a low cost. The land construction, which is a large wind power project in Piteå municipality, was planned to build 1101 wind turbines that would produce 10–12 TWh per year. To build all the wind turbines, a land area of 450 square kilometers needs to be used. If you start from the ground construction, they will need 5000-5500 wind turbines to produce 50 TWh of energy. The area that needs to be used to build 5000-5500 wind turbines is then 2000-2,250 square kilometers. This means that future wind power installations will need access to large areas of land. But there are other interests that also have an interest in the same land and may have to compete with wind power for land in the future. The purpose of the study is to investigate and analyze which other interests are competing with potential new wind power establishments for land in Norrbotten County and to contribute to future wind power projects being sustainable.   The result shows that there are other interests that are also interested in land in Norrbotten County. The result also shows that trade-offs are made between different interests and that wind turbines have an impact on us humans. The interests brought out in the study and which may compete with wind power for land in the future are, outdoor life, nature conservation, reindeer husbandry, national park, nature reserve, water protection area, natura 2000, the Armed Forces, unbroken mountains, cultural environment conservation, commercial fishing, facilities for communication and human interests.

Denna studie har som fokus och syfte att undersöka på vilket sätt det nedärvda och förvärvade utbildningskapital påverkar gymnasieungdomars framtida utbildningsstrategier i landsbygdskommuner i Norrbotten. Studien har även som syfte att undersöka hur platsen där gymnasieungdomarna bor påverkar det nedärvda och förvärvade utbildningskapitalet och om platsen är en av förklaringarna på att många gymnasieungdomar söker sig bort från landsbygdskommuner i Norrbotten och vidare till högre utbildning på större orter. Följande teoretiska tillika utbildningssociologiska begrepp av Pierre Bourdieu har använts för att bearbeta och besvara studiens syfte; utbildningskapital och utbildningsstrategi. Metoden för att samla in data var kvantitativa enkätundersökning med kvalitativa inslag. 20 personer svarade på enkäten från gymnasieskolans studieförberedande klasser fördelat på två mindre landsbygdsorter, Pajala och Arvidsjaur. De analysmetoder som användes för att bearbeta insamlade data var univariat analys och tematisk innehållsanalys. Resultatet i studien indikerar att de utbildningsstrategier som växer fram påverkas av det nedärvda och förvärvade utbildningskapitalet hos ungdomar i Norrbottens inland. Framväxten av individens utbildningsstrategi beror även på geografiska och socioekonomiska omständigheter. Det går inte automatiskt att säga att ett högt utbildningskapital hos föräldrarna leder till att en individ söker sig vidare till högre studier samtidigt som det inte går att säga att ett lågt utbildningskapital hos föräldrarna gör att individen inte söker sig vidare till högre studier. Utan platsen, familjen, kulturen man växer upp och lever i och de socioekonomiska förutsättningar inverkar också på vilka utbildningsstrategier som växer fram hos individen. Föräldrars utbildningskapital är närvarande för ungdomarna, både det höga och låga utbildningskapitalet hos föräldrarna inverkar på ungdomarnas utbildningsstrategier när de tar form.

The objective of this thesis has been to analyze whether booms in the iron ore market has any significant effects on local labor markets in certain municipalities in Norrbotten County during the time period 2000-2016. Previous research has established that certain types of booms and busts influenced local labor markets. The analysis was done by using panel data and regression models where the results where compared over non-mining and mining municipalities. The results gave a vague response with both conclusive and inconclusive results over the variables investigated. The main conclusion is that although the mining industry is a big part of local labor markets in Norrbotten County, it is important for firms and policymakers to understand that the mining industry is not the only important factor and that decisions should not be entirely based on the mining industry and its markets. / Målet med denna uppsats var att analysera ifall booms i järnmalmsmarknaden har någon signifikant påverkan på lokala arbetsmarknader i utvalda kommuner i Norrbotten under tidsperioden 2000–2016. Tidigare forskning har fastställt att vissa booms och busts kan influera lokala arbetsmarknader. Analysen har genomförts med paneldata och regressionsmodeller där resultat jämförts mellan gruvkommuner och ickegruvkommuner. Resultaten gav otydliga resultat då vissa var konklusiva medan andra inte var konklusiva. Den huvudsakliga slutsatsen som nåtts är att även om gruvindustrin är en viktig del av de lokala arbetsmarknaderna, är det viktigt för företag och beslutsfattare att förstå att gruvindustrin inte är den enda påverkande faktorn och att framtida beslut och satsningar inte enbart ska baseras kring gruvindustrin och dess marknad.
