Syftet med uppsatsen är att se hur elever värderar matematikkunskaperna som fås i undervisningen i gymnasieskolan och om eleverna kan dra nytta av kunskaperna i relation till vardagen, kommande studier och yrkesroll. Med hjälp av gruppintervjuer kom jag fram till att eleverna värderar matematikkunskaperna högt, framförallt kunskaper i den ”grundläggande matematiken” som innebär addition, subtraktion, multiplikation och division. Matematikkunskapen värderas högt och ses i relation till vardagen, kommande studier och yrkesroll. Elevernas positiva attityd till ämnet finns och eleverna beskriver att lärarens motivation till vad och varför de skall lära sig en viss kunskap, ses som betydelsefull. Undervisningssituationen där den ”tysta räkningen” dominerar värderar eleverna högt. En elev beskriver matematiken som det viktigaste ämnet och ser kunskapen som en viktigt del i relation till andra ämnen.

Kärnkraften tillgodoser idag en stor del av Sveriges behov av elektricitet, men med kärnkraften kommer även ett avfall som är långlivat och högradioaktivt. Omhändertagande av detta avfall är omdiskuterat och det är kärnkraftindustrins ansvar att ta hand om avfallet. För att lyckas med detta har ett gemensamt bolag för den svenska kärnkraftindustrin skapats, Svensk Kärnbränslehantering AB (SKB). Syftet med studien har varit att utreda i vilken omfattning alternativa metoder till Svensk Kärnbränslehantering AB:s metod för slutförvaring av högradioaktivt kärnavfall har studerats. Resultatet och diskussionen visar att ovissheterna kring slutförvaring av högradioaktivt kärnavfall är stora på grund av den långa förvaringstiden. En ansökan om slutförvaring av högradioaktivt avfall enligt KBS-3-metoden är inskickad till Strålsäkerhetsmyndigheten och till mark- och miljödomstolen i Nacka Tingsrätt för bedömning och beslut. Alternativa metoder till KBS-3-metoden har inte utretts tillräckligt, vilket bland annat beror på att större delen av den forskning som utförts har fokuserat på KBS-3-metoden och utvecklingen av denna. Innan alternativ som djupa borrhål kan räknas bort helt behövs närmare forskning och uppföljning på området, då tekniska framsteg gjorts de senaste åren. Alternativ som innebär kvittblivning kräver en ändring i lagen, då alternativen strider mot principen om nationellt ansvar. Metoden skulle innebära slutförvaring på internationell mark. När det gäller transmutation krävs långsiktiga satsningar på kärnkraften och då främst på nya typer av reaktorer. Transmutation bidrar till att ansvaret överförs på kommande generationer, då kärnkraften kommer att vara i drift ytterligare en lång period. Det medför att kärnavfallet inte kommer kunna tas om hand av den generationen som har genererat det. Därför anses detta alternativ i nuläget inte vara aktuellt. Information till kommande generationer kan ses som en säkerhetsrisk men för lite information kan även det ses som en risk, därför behövs ett väl utbyggt informationssystem för slutförvaret som håller i flera generationer. / Nuclear power is currently supplying large parts of the Swedish electricity demand, but with nuclear power there will also be a waste that is long-lived and highly radioactive. The disposal of this waste is controversial and it is the nuclear industry's responsibility to take care of. A joint company for the Swedish nuclear industry was created to achieve this, Svensk Kärnbränslehantering AB (SKB). The aim of this study was to investigate to what extent alternative methods to Svensk Kärnbränslehantering AB:s method for final storage of highly radioactive nuclear waste has been studied. The aim of this research was to study how Svensk Kärnbränslehantering AB has been studying the alternative methods for the final disposal of highly radioactive nuclear waste. The results and discussion show that the uncertainties about the final disposal of highly radioactive nuclear waste are large due to the long storage time. An application for disposal of highly radioactive nuclear waste according to the KBS-3 method is submitted to Strålsäkerhetsmyndigheten and to the Land and Environmental court in Nacka district court, for assessment and decision. The study shows that alternative approaches to the KBS-3 method have not been sufficiently investigated, which is due to the larger part of the research conducted being focused on the KBS-3 method and its development. Before options like deep boreholes can be discounted entirely there is a need of further research and follow up in the area, as new technological advances have been made in recent years. Options involving disposal requires a change in the law, because the options are contrary to the principle of national responsibility. The method would involve disposal on international territory. The option of transmutation requires long term investments in nuclear power, mainly in new types of reactors. Transmutation contributes to the transfer of responsibilities to future generations, because the nuclear power will be in operation for a long period. This means that the nuclear waste will not be taken care of by the generation that has generated it. Therefore, this alternative is currently not an option. Information for further generations can be seen as a security risk, but too little information can also be seen as a danger, therefore, a well-developed information system for the final disposal that will last for many generations is necessary.

The environmental politics in Sweden are portrayed in the Swedish environmental discourse to be both ambiguous and a pioneer state internationally. Sweden has an established aim to solve the sixteen identified grand environmental issues in Sweden until the next generation (2025). For example, Tracy Skillington, mentioned in the field of research, argues of an absence of climate justice for future generations. This paper will therefore examine the way Sweden relates to future generations in the Swedish environmental politics through a lens of climate justice. I will approach this subject through a discourse analysis of three Swedish propositions which can be used to understand the background meaning of legislations, and therefore also can be regarded as authoritarian in the Swedish environmental discourse. The analysis will be based on the logic of signs in the discourse and structured according to the analysis tool, problem – reason – solution. The main problem in Swedish environmental discourse can relate to the ambiguous formulation of the generational aim. Sweden expresses, in their environmental discourse (proposition 1997/98:145), a confidence to solve the environmental issues until the next generation, meanwhile maintaining other political priorities such as economic growth. Sweden describes an overall change of society to sustainable development. In the Swedish environmental discourse terms such as justice and crisis are excluded, which forms and characterizes the Swedish discourse. The problems in Swedish environmental discourse are being visible though the environmental aims seem unreachable on the set timeline. There are three identified reasons in the Swedish environmental discourse, nature as an economic human resource, the environmental quality issues in Sweden depends on other states environmental actions due to the transnational problem and the initial environmental goals are portrayed as impossible to fulfill. Sweden legitimize their environmental discourse through the solutions found in the three propositions. The choice to use generation to describe the Swedish aim, could be understood to unify the Swedish environmental discourse. In the propositions, a change in the meaning of the generational aim will be shown, which makes a prominent difference for future generations. In proposition 2016/17:146, a transition to climate is made which means less focus on future generation in the Swedish discourse. The next generation has a prominent role in the environmental discourse of Sweden, but it turns out unclear what exact meaning the generation of today include in the term next generation. The promises made in the first proposition, are emptied of the initial meaning, why it is questionable if climate justice towards the next generation can be reached in the Swedish environmental discourse.

Christ's words "do this in remembrance of me" (Luke 22:20) point to an eschatological realism realized in the gathering. The word of Christ institutes a liturgical praxis that was received by the ancient church and has since been practiced for several generations until today. The Syriac speaking churches, which are also in continuity with the Messianic faith, followed by the apostolic tradition, do not escape the question of eschatology, which is of great importance and central to Syriac Christianity. To answer the question of why eschatology is important in the Syriac tradition? is comprehensive, large and does not accommodate the scope of work. However, this work will try to answer the question of whether Jacob of Serugh's eschatological thinking develops in relation to Ephraim in comparison to Isaac the Syrian. Therefore, this work will try to get a glimpse of the eschatological basic view within the understanding of Syriac Christianity. There will be a positioning of Jacob of Serugh in relation to Ephraim the Syrian with comparison to Isaac the Syrian to gain a better understanding of the direction that emerges during the turning point of the fourteenth century in connection with those ecclesiological battles during that time. It may not provide an answer to everything but certainly an answer to where we started this development regarding eschatology. I want to thank my supervisor, Michael Hjälm for the good advice, support and guidance through the work. I also hope that reading this essay will be useful and continued studies in the subject.
