This study aims to view an extended family locally connected to the Swedish city of Kalmar. The purpose is to analyse whether the extended Kreuger-family could be considered an upcoming elite, in spite of their foothold in trade, commerce and manufacturing. While these concepts would traditionally be associated with the bourgeois; the evolving times of primarily the nineteenth century creates a platform for social mobility and change that might have affected the Kreuger-family in ways that created a role for them in society that was no longer middle class, but instead a local form of an elite. The study analyses lifestyle and inventory of the estates of five generations of Kreugers, alongside marital alliances with members of the upper class within six generations of the extended family. Lastly the source material is viewed didactically for a teaching scenario. The source material include inventory of estates, personal letters and biographical material from the public archive of Kalmar Läns Museum. The result shows that the Kreuger-family could be considered as a rising elite in some respects. Advantageous marriages to members of the upper class increased from the first generation to the sixth culminating in six noble marriages in total. While income seemed to fluctuate, symbolic capital remained intact. Profession evolved from trade to commerce and manufacturing, resulting in a majority of success. The result shows a middling class family steadily rising higher on the social ladder, due to economical success. The extended Kreuger-family can be categorized as a new and modern elite, steadily rising from the year 1710 and onwards.

I denna undersökning studeras den stora trafikutredning Uppsala genomförde 1936. Undersökningen visar hur bilens företrädare lyfte fram cyklisterna som irrationella och ibland till och med farliga. Cyklismens förkämpar grundade sin argumentation i sin majoritet som trafikslag. Det är känslostyrda argument kontra sakliga, faktabaserade dito. Undersökningen redogör för hur dessa såg ut, och hur bilismen segrade.

Abstract The purpose with this essay is to get knowledge about the consequences that speech-defects bring for children in pre-school ages. I got interested in this matter when I, during my teaching practice, got in touch with children carrying this specific disorder. I chose to apply qualitative interview as a method to investigate this and as a starting-point I used these aspects: How does speech-defects affect learning, understanding, friendship relations, and development in general? I interviewed three pre-school teachers in two different schools. One school in a smaller district and the other one in a middle-sized town, in the middle of Sweden. From these interviews and the literature that I have read on the subject, I have learned that children with speech-defects very often have problems with friendship relations, simply because friends have a hard time understanding what these children are saying. The consistence could very well be that the children with speaking-disorders gets excluded from the rest of the group. A speech-defect can also bring consequences for learning, especially for learning to read and write. It could also become complicated in other learning situations, since these children do not always have the ability to express their thoughts and feelings. Sometimes, but not always, a speech-defect can bring consequences for the child and its development in general, in the shape of less developed mobility in other areas.

One hundred years ago, boys and girls in Sweden went to school in two parallel educational systems. The girl schools were privately owned and had two educational goals; education for the household and education for work outside the home. The girl schools were free to give the education they thought was right, but around the turn of the century women’s education became an issue of growing political interest. The purpose of my study is to shine light on the idea-political impact on the teaching in the turn of the century independent girl schools. I ask two questions; What types of subjects did girl school pupils write essays about, and how do they change over time? Seen from a genus perspective, what is the relation between the essay subjects and the idea-political trends at a higher societal level? I conduct a quantitative study of Swedish essay subjects at a girl school in Växjö between the years 1884-1929. My results show that the essay subjects over time become less demanding and more of a cultural nature, back to educating girls for the purpose of being pretty and entertaining. This does not entirely follow the trend at a higher societal level, which develops towards a stronger focus on the household. Instead we can see it as a way of keep trying to segregate women from men by forming different behaviors and knowledge and directing them into different spheres of the society, in a society where women increasingly are integrating with traditional male spheres.

Nationalsocialisterna i Sverige hade under 1930-talet sitt största och effektivaste medieorgan i tidningen Den Svenske Nationalsocialisten (DSN) och genom tidningen använde de sig av mediestrategier för att föra fram sina budskap till det svenska folket. I uppsatsen undersöker vi vad för sorts mediestrategier det handlade om och hur de svenska nationalsocialisterna arbetade för att bli hörda och skapa en opinionsbildning. Vi har analyserat 11 nummer från DSN med hjälp av retoriska begrepp i en kvalitativ innehållsanalys för att få svaret på de frågorna. Vi har i uppsatsen använt oss av Elizabeth Perses och Peter Goldings modeller över medieeffekter. Perse är medieforskare med en grund i uses and gratifications- området medan Golding är en professor i sociologi som skrivit flera böcker om politisk kommunikation och masskommunikation. Vårt material är hämtat i partiets egen tidskrift och huvudsakliga politiska organ: Den Svenske Nationalsocialisten –   vilken vi analyserat för att på så sätt lyfta fram vilka mediestrategier som partiet använde sig av. För att ge en ytterligare inblick i hur partiet arbetade har vi även använt oss av protokoll, bilder, med mera, både från partiets arkiv på Kungliga biblioteket (KB) i Stockholm och Arkiv Gävleborg. Nationalsocialisterna använde sig av en varierad retorik. Framförallt så var retoriken av känsloväckande karaktär, riktad till det svenska folket. De framhöll sig själva som medvetna om omvärlden, tydliga med sina mål och hänsynslösa mot sina fiender. Oftast fanns det ingen gråskala utan retoriken var "svart eller vit". De visade att de brydde sig om olika grupper i samhället och framställde sig inbjudande inför dessa. Nationalsocialisterna använde vissa begrepp flitigt återkommande i negativa sammanhang (till exempel "jude" och "demokrati"). Retoriken skulle skapa långsiktiga effekter men framförallt kortsiktiga direkta effekter och omedelbara politiska förändringar i samhället vilka de också uppmuntrade det svenska folket att bidra till.
