The diploma thesis Milan Kundera and Intertextuality deals with aspects of relations between the texts in his novels. The first part outlines the intertextuality, theory of the novel and the approaches of some literary theorists towards this issue. The second half of the thesis analyzes the intertextuality in Kundera's works in various forms, mainly based on the themes of dreams and physicality. The greatest emphasis is placed on examining the legacy of Kafka in the context of Kundera's works, particularly in the novels The Joke and The Book of Laughter and Forgetting.

The thesis focuses on the knowledge, opinions and teaching strategies of Czech higher elementary school teachers in relation to learners who have special educational needs (SEN); more specifically to students with ADHD and specific learning difficulties (SpLD). The data were drawn from interviews with two less experienced and two experienced teachers, and an anonymous online survey. The interviews were coded, emergent themes for each teacher were identified and broad thematic categories were developed; the categories were then further refined. Next, the themes for the two pairs of teachers - experienced and less experienced - were compared and contrasted in order to find shared patterns. Lastly, the four teachers were analysed jointly to find out whether the themes for the younger and the more experienced teachers differed. As for the survey, the data were analysed using qualitative, as well as quantitative methods. The qualitative methods included coding of the responses to the open- ended questions. The quantitative analysis was performed using several statistical tests. The findings show that most teachers seem to possess at least some degree of knowledge about the problems SEN students experience, and the strategies they can use to facilitate the learning process for them. Especially teachers...

The purpose of this thesis is to get more knolwledge on a detailed level about places with runestones in close connection with a stone ship in the province of Södermanland. The knowledge touches upon questions how these places were created but also questions about why they were created through the theoretical perspective of cognitive archeology. The thesis starts with dicussing a possibly new discovery of an original stone setting for the runestone from Sannerby, Årdala parish SÖ 319, that was moved from Sannerby in the 18´th century. The thesis will argue that this original stone setting is possibly, by the author, a discovered stone ship. Further twelve places have been investigated in the landscape with or/that have had a runstone in close connection to a stone ship. One main result in the investigation is that almost all these places are in connection with a grave field and two places are also by tradition named as a local ting. These last mentioned two places have also erected flat stones while the other stone ships are built with low rounded stones.  The thesis further shows how and why these places were built, on a cognitive map with symbols in three different themes. The theme of symbols of religion will show that people were much affected by the change of religion from pagan religion to Christianity, and this could express a conflict in the society. The second theme is symbols that express social hierarchy and statements of power, and it expresses high social and economic status with aristocratic farmers who could afford to travel abroad. And the possible importance of language on a high level in the material of the poetic type of runestone texts. The third and final theme is symbols that expresses the marking of a place, one's territory, and the theses suggest that some of these places were created to express the runestones sponsors right to their inheritance, even if the deceased died abroad. But because there was a conflict of religion in the society the close connection to a stone ship could possibly mean that the sponsors of the runestone maybe needed the authority of an older type of monument to prove their right to inheritance. Because not everyone in their local society would accept a Christian runestone as a legal act.

Denna avhandling tillämpar Anthony Giddens teori om sen-modernitet på gymnasieutbildningen, och i synnerhet dess inverkan på föreställningarna om ’jaget’ och självidentiteten. Den ger svar på den didaktiska frågan ”till vem?”. Dess avsikt är att förstå eleverna på en existentiell nivå, och att förstå hur de påverkas av den samtida världen. Giddens bok från 1991, Modernity and Self Identity: Self and Society in the Late Modern Age, används som teoretiska ramverket. Denna avhandling har två delar. I den första delen genomför jag ett läroplansanalys av den svenska gymnasieskolan från 1970 till 2022 och tolkar läroplanerna genom sen-modernitetens teoretiska ramar. Detta visar hur villkoren för ’högmodernitet’ återspeglas i läroplanen, vilket motiverar att överväga hur dessa förhållanden påverkar våra elevers självidentitet och vad detta betyder för undervisningen. I den andra delen utvecklar jag en didaktisk modell som kan vara till hjälp i vår undervisning då den ger klarhet om eleven under sen-moderniteten. / This thesis applies Anthony Gidden’s theory of late modernity to upper secondary school education and, in particular, its impact on the notions of the self and self-identity. It provides an answer to the didactic question “to whom?”. The intent is to understand the students at an existential level, and to understand how they are affected by the contemporary world. Giddens’ 1991 book, Modernity and Self Identity: Self and Society in the Late Modern Age, is used as the theoretical framework. This thesis has two parts. In the first, I carry out a curriculum study of Swedish upper secondary school from 1970 to 2022 and interpret the curricula through the theoretical framework of late modernity. This shows how the conditions of ‘high modernity’ are reflected in the curriculum, which justifies considering how these conditions impact on the self-identity of our students and what this means for teaching. In the second part, I develop a didactic model that can assist in our teaching as it provides clarity on the student in late modernity.

Syftet med detta arbete är att öka förståelsen för hur utomhusmiljön används i undervisningen och då framför allt i naturvetenskapliga ämnen på mellanstadiet. Jag tar först upp mål och riktlinjer utifrån Lpo94 om barn och natur. Vad utomhuspedagogik är som lärande och metod och ur ett hälsoperspektiv. Därefter handlar min studie om barns lärande och hur det naturvetenskapliga lärandet uppfattas i skolan. Tidigare forskning lyfts fram. Jag har i en kvalitativ undersökning frågat hur utomhusundervisningen fungerar i två klasser, en i staden och en på landet, och hur den uppfattas av lärare och deras elever. Materialet bygger på intervjuer med lärare och enkätundersökning bland eleverna. Resultatet visar lärarnas uppfattning om utomhusundervisning och deras roll som pedagoger i utemiljön. Lärarna vill använda utemiljön, men bar olika syn på vad utemiljön kan användas till. Det som framgick tydligast av elevernas svar i enkätundersökningen var att elever, både i staden och på landet, vill ha lektioner utomhus och att de anser att de lär sig något.

The method of research consists of bibliographical research, followed by a case study, in order to strengthen the theme s empirical investigation. The case study analyzed is the project BNDES/PNUD for Local Development (BRA/00/031) in the Península de Itapagipe , Salvador, Bahia. The first conclusion of this work is that the choice of the capabilities approach, developed by Amartya Sen, is convenient for the pragmatic and consensual nature of the Programme, given that it proposes a stronger focus on the expansion of individual choices without questioning the current international economic order. Therefore, it allows the maintenance of the support of not only countries which act as core resource suppliers, but also of countries where UNDP implements its interventions. Furthermore, the sustainable human development is a concept broad enough to let different interventions be classified under this one paradigm. Regarding the specific role of the UNDP in Brazil, it is clear that the nature of its approach is the government cost-sharing/national execution. This modality was first employed in a particular context, under special circumstances, which took under consideration the interests of both Brazilian government and the UNDP. It is possible to reach the conclusion that the Programme´s action in Brazil is more linked to performing the duties of a support structure, in order to have the projects fully and effectively implemented, than to furnish content and theoretical aspects to the interventions supported by the Programme. In sum, the UNDP´s action is limited by the lack of success in translating its innovative theoretical concepts and ideas into practical projects. Being successful on this task could imply an enrichment of the projects and also create a clear framework which characterizes the projects supported by the UNDP / O objetivo desse trabalho é entender como o Programa das Nações Unidas para o Desenvolvimento (PNUD), principal órgão das Nações Unidas para a questão do desenvolvimento, atua no Brasil. O procedimento de pesquisa utilizado é a pesquisa bibliográfica. Um estudo de caso é também realizado como forma de aprofundar a investigação empírica do tema. O estudo de caso analisado é o projeto BNDES/PNUD de Desenvolvimento Local (BRA/00/031), na Península de Itapagipe em Salvador (BA). A primeira conclusão deste trabalho é que a escolha da abordagem das capacidades de Amartya Sen é conveniente à natureza pragmática e consensual do Programa, porque propõe um foco na expansão das escolhas individuais das pessoas, mas sem questionar a ordem econômica internacional vigente. Dessa forma, permite a manutenção do apoio tanto de países doadores de recursos regulares como dos países nos quais o PNUD mantém atividades. Além disso, o desenvolvimento humano sustentável é muito amplo, e isso permite que intervenções nas mais diferentes áreas sejam classificadas como relacionadas a este paradigma. Em relação à atuação específica do PNUD no Brasil, está claro que a modalidade de cooperação utilizada majoritariamente é a execução nacional/financiamento pelo governo. Essa modalidade passou a ser utilizada em um contexto específico, que atendia interesses tanto do governo brasileiro quanto do PNUD. Pode-se concluir que a atuação do Programa no Brasil passa muito mais por servir como uma estrutura de apoio para que os projetos sejam implementados do que por realizar aportes teóricos e de conteúdo às intervenções apoiadas pelo Programa. Portanto, a atuação do PNUD é limitada pelo fato de não conseguir traduzir as idéias e os conceitos inovadores criados no seu âmbito para os seus projetos. Ter sucesso nessa questão poderia representar um enriquecimento dos projetos, bem como criar uma delimitação clara que caracterize os projetos apoiados pelo PNUD
