1	“Upp till stjärnorna så man kan se rymdbåtarna!” En kvalitativ studie av kamratkulturer vid förskolans gungor Stenroos, Alexander, Larsson, Jesper January 2018 (has links) Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie är att bidra till en fördjupad förståelse kring kamratkulturer vid förskolans gungor. Med bakgrund i en diskussion kring gungans vara eller icke vara i förskolan ville vi undersöka vad barnen gör vid gungorna och varför. Genom observationer och informella samtal samlades materialet in på två förskolor under en fyraveckorsperiod. Till hjälp att analysera det insamlade materialet användes barndomssociologin som teoretisk utgångspunkt. I resultatet framkom det att gungorna kan fungera som en fristad, där platsens förutsättningar erbjuder barnen en möjlighet att få kontroll över, samt paus ifrån, den ofta intensiva vardagen på förskolan. Den så kallade kompisgungan har visat sig vara relativt enkel att få tillträde till samt möjliggöra för barnen att vara fysiskt nära varandra och umgås förutsättningslöst. barndomssociologi förskola fristad gungor interaktionsutrymme kamratkulturer kontroll närhet tillträdesstrategier Social Sciences Samhällsvetenskap
2	The boundless kingdom of imagination : En komparativ studie av två fristadsnätverk för konstnärer, författare och journalister på flykt / The boundless kingdom of imagination : A comparative study of two sanctuary networks for fleeing artists, writers and journalists Ek Hällzon, Gabriella January 2023 (has links) The aim of this study is to explore the complex system of sanctuary networks created to safeguard artists, journalists, publicists, and writers internationally. The two sanctuary networks included in the study are International Cities of Refuge Network and Artists at risk, both aimed to create sanctuaries and advocacy for freedom of speech but with different scopes and focus. The analytical methods used consists of system- and organizational theory tools, to map the components of the networks and contingency theory to analyze the external aspects that affect the networks. The mapping of the networks provides an overall picture of the organizational system structure containing permanent organization, cooperating actors, political actors, meeting points, funding and direction of process. The analysis show that the networks produce different types of safeguarding of artists, long-term and short-term. Both structures create pros and cons but complement each other in a complex system with a plurality of needs and solutions. Challenges that the networks face mostly consist of economic uncertainty and a need for flexibility towards external changes whilst needing structural stability to face challenges efficiently.

3	(RE)DEFINE GROWTH : How to Connect Ön and the City while Preserving, Emphasising and Intensifying the Green, Rural and Recreational Qualities Kassberg, Anna January 2017 (has links) Ön is an island in central Ume River. Today Ön is a rural, green place with key habitats and historical values. In 2008 the municipality took the decision to exploit it by building city there. The decision was preceded by the emerging growth target, for Umeå, to become 200,000 inhabitants in 2050. The research material for this paper consists of legal documents, reports, literature, interviews, and own observations. It can be divided into three main parts. The first part, which is the ‘growth discourse’, is investigated through documents concerning political strategies and influences from within the field in relation to Umeå as a city. The second part consists of research around the ‘image’ of Norrland and the third part focus on questions involving well-being through nature and the concept of Ecosystem Services, in relation to Ön. In this paper, I advocate for an alternative plan concerning Ön and its unique set of qualities: the rural, historical, and nature dominated atmosphere adjacent to the city of Umeå. I argue that the value of this land is greater in its natural vesture, than it would be with added asphalt and concrete. The values of concern are non-monetary, but might as well become monetary in the more long-term scenario. There is mounting evidence of benefits derived from nature, when it comes to human well-being, and further that ecosystems provide services of major importance to us. Ecosystem Services are the benefits people obtain from ecosystems. Ön possesses many of these services today. It holds potential for further cultivation and capacity to become amplified as a recreation area in central Umeå. The objective of this master thesis is to define and validate the qualities of Ön; and further, to develop a programme of possible interventions, in order to preserve and intensify the present atmosphere. This is conducted by identifying Ecosystem Services in the current context; and ways to enhance them, in order to propose an alternative plan for Ön.
