Abstract:
Drawing on both regime and falun gong sources, this article analyses two conflicting depictions of falun gong's organizational structure, communications system and financing base. It first presents the regime's view that falun gong was a well organized movement, with a clear hierarchical structure, a centralized administrative system, functional specialization of organizational tasks, a well-developed communications and mobilization system, and a fulsome financial base built on undue profits derived from charging excessive admissions to qigong seminars and selling falun gong publications and icons at substantial mark-ups. In stark contrast, falun gong claimed that it had no organizational structure, no membership rosters, no local offices, telephones or financial accounts; and that its adherents were prohibited from receiving remuneration for teaching falun gong, that it charged the lowest training seminars admission and cheapest prices for publications and material. The article attributes the differences to adversarial polemics, the regime's fervour to criminalize, and the falun gong's eagerness to deny those charges. Some of the discrepancies can also be explained by the status of the falun gong as an evolving and clandestine social organization with changing features and practices, survival structures and camouflage mechanisms. Both regime and falun gong could thus stake their respective claims on different manifestations of the falun gong on arguable but ambivalent evidence.

Abstract:
In 2000, Mark Palmer, one of the National Endowment for Democracy’s (NED’s) founders and Vice Chairman of Freedom House—an organization funded entirely by the U.S. Congress—founded a new government-supported group, Friends of Falun Gong (FoFG). By perusing FoFG’s annual tax filings, one discovers that FoFG has contributed funds to Sounds of Hope Radio, New Tang Dynasty TV, and the Epoch Times—all Falun Gong media outlets. FoFG has also contributed to Dragon Springs (a Falun Gong ‘compound’ that hosts a Falun Gong school and a residency complex) and to Shen Yun (a Falun Gong performance company), as well as to Falun Gong’s PR arm. In order to contextualize the U.S. government’s funding of Falun Gong, it will also be helpful to examine a handful of additional U.S. agency activities, such as the NED’s funding of Liu Xiaobo, the Hong Kong protests, and other China-related and Tibet-related groups.

Abstract:
Since 1999, falun gong has been one of the most burning and sensitive political and religious issues in China, brought to the attention of the public around the world by demonstrations and media reports. Until Maria Hsia Chang's book, Falun Gong: The End of Days, was released this spring, no balanced book-length account of the facts surrounding falun gong was available. Chang's book provides the general public with an informative summary of the development of falun gong, its basic beliefs, the history of its repression by the Chinese state, and its connection with millenarian and sectarian traditions in Chinese religious history. However, the journalistic style and sources of the book underline the need for a thorough academic study of the phenomenon.Chapter one, “A religious sect defies the state,” outlines the story of falun gong from its foundation in 1992 to its continued repression today following the Zhongnanhai demonstration of 1999. In chapter two, “Chinese religions and millenarian movements,” Chang summarizes the history of Chinese religions, secret societies, and millennial and apocalyptic movements, including the Eight Trigram, Taiping and Boxer rebellions, and argues that the Chinese Communists tapped into China's millenarian tradition in order to gain power. She then stresses that falun gong, contrary to its claims that it is not a religion, draws heavily from Chinese religion, and particularly its millennial and apocalyptic strands. Falun gong teachings are described in chapter three, “Beliefs and practices,” in which falun gong's cosmology, theology and eschatology are outlined with ample reference to the writings of Li Hongzhi. The next chapter, “The state vs. falun gong,” goes through the Chinese state's charges against falun gong. Chapter five, “The persecution of other faiths,” begins with a critique of the “rule of law” purportedly called on by the CCP to deal with falun gong, and argues that the accusations made against falun gong could just as well be made against the CCP itself. It then discusses the vast social dislocations in contemporary China that create a fertile soil for the emergence of apocalyptic movements such as falun gong, and describes how the persecution of falun gong is part of a larger policy to eradicate underground religious groups, several of which are presented. Finally, Chang concludes that, in the face of widespread social dissatisfaction, the fear of millenarian uprisings is the main motivation for the CCP's fierce suppression of falun gong – but its intolerance of “heterodox” faiths only reinforces their politicization into oppositional movements, increasing the likelihood of the CCP “reaping the fate” it so dreads.

Abstract:
This article is based upon participant-observation of a Falun Gong group in Columbus, Ohio and includes a descriptive account of the exercises and local organizational structure. The totalistic rhetoric of Falun Gong founder, Li Hongzhi, is undermined by the non-hierarchical organizational structure of the movement. The privileging of orthopraxy over orthodoxy at the local level further undermines Li's totalism. However, the persecution of Falun Gong and the vilification of Li Hongzhi by the government of the People's Republic of China have resulted in an escalation of Li's totalistic and apocalyptic rhetoric. The ongoing persecution is currently the greatest threat to the structural stability of the Falun Gong movement. Nonetheless, barring external pressure, Falun Gong organizational structure and orthopraxy sufficiently counterbalance Li's totalistic tendencies.

Abstract:
AbstractThis article applies the conflict-amplification model to the development of Falun Gong. Falun Gong emerged in the early 1990s as a health-enhancing practice and part of the state-sanctionedqigongmovement in China. Faced with increasing state suspicion ofqigongand fierce competition from other groups, it metamorphosed into a new religious movement in the mid-1990s. State efforts to keep Falun Gong out of the political realm had the effect of releasing the group's political potential and led to its campaign of “truth clarification,” which further alerted the state to its ideological challenge and capacity to mobilize. Through a process of mutual feedback, the antagonism between the two parties culminated in religious violence and in Falun Gong's transformation into a political movement. The organizational evolution of Falun Gong is an illustration of the religion of the nonreligious and the politics of the apolitical in an authoritarian state.

Abstract:
In Falun Gong forbearance (ren), along with truthfulness (zhen), and benevolence (shan) makes up one of basic characteristics of the universe and forms an essential part of any practitioner's soteriology. In order to gain good karma, a practitioner must learn to forbear the suffering inflicted by others while not shirking from her faith in Falun Gong teachings. Forbearance has become an extremely effective means of resistance by Falun Gong practitioners of the ban imposed by the People's Republic of China authorities. The movement has been successful in representing the ban as a means for true practitioners to advance in their spiritual development. The importance of forbearance within the group's doctrine has also led to a split within Falun Gong, however, by providing a Hong Kong splinter group with the theological tools to challenge the hierarchical structure of the Falun Gong organization and its leadership in New York.

Abstract:
In this paper we argue that studying Falun Gong's use of the Internet is essential to understanding the movement as a whole. Falun Gong has made skillful use of the Internet for three of its most important functions. In the area of information distribution, the Internet has become an important vehicle for disseminating Li Hongzhi's teachings. To strengthen the integrity of a globally-dispersed community, it has proven useful for organizing face-to-face gatherings and for online experience sharing. In Falun Gong's struggle for survival as a movement, the Internet has helped practitioners bring pressure against the People's Republic of China (PRC) government, especially at the international level. But Falun Gong's Internet use has not guaranteed success in these tasks. Reliance on the Internet has paved the way for the emergence of a splinter sect and challenges to Li's authority, and the PRC government has effectively countered much of Falun Gong's Internet use within the country.

Abstract:
This article seeks to place Falun Gong - and the larger qigong movement from which it emerged - into the long-term context of the history of Chinese popular religion from the midMing (1368-1644) to the present. The argument developed is that Falun Gong and qigong are twentieth-century elaborations of a set of historical popular religious traditions generally labeled by scholars as "White Lotus Sectarianism." This article attempts both to look forward at the Falun Gong from a perspective informed by an understanding of its historical antecedents, and to look backward at the historical traditions on the basis of what we know about Falun Gong and qigong. The ultimate objective is to arrive at a recharacterization of a popular religious phenomenon which has been incompletely understood.

Abstract:
I denna uppsats tillämpas multipel regressionsanalys med syfte att predikera huspriser i Falun. Data som består av dels priset vid ett antal husförsäljningar och dels ett antal eventuellt samvarierande förklarande variabler analyseras. Två lämpliga, modeller som på ett så precist och enkelt sätt som möjligt förutsäger en kommande försäljning av ett hus tas fram. I den första finns en mäklarfirmas utropspris med som förklarande variabel i den andra inte. Prediktionsförmågan för de båda modellerna blir inte användbar i praktiken men bättre då utropspris finns med. De förklarande variablerna blir för modellen med utropspris också boarea, om huset har garage och om huset ligger i stadsdelen Slätta. För modellen utan utropspris är de förklarande variablerna taxerat markvärde, taxerat byggnadsvärde och tomtarea.
This paper applies multiple regression analysis to predict house prices in Falun. Data consisting of sales price and a number of possible explanatory variables is analyzed. Two appropriate, models that are as precise in predicting and simple as possible are developed. In the first model a home sales office’s starting price is included as an explanatory variable in the other not. The predictive ability of the two models is not useful in practice, but better when starting price is included. The explanatory variables are for the model with the starting price included also living area, if the house has a garage or not and if the house is located in the district Slätta. For model without starting price the explanatory variables are taxed land value, taxed building value and land area. 3

Abstract:

Arbetet har gjorts för att hur stort problemet med nöjesrelaterat våld är i Faluns centrum. Målet är att kunna hitta de platser som är mest brottsutsatta, sk ”Hot-Spots”. Ett annat mål med arbetet är att ge förslag på åtgärder för att motverka problemet. I Falun finns ett visst problem med nöjesrelaterat våld. Under senare år har antalet anmälningar om misshandel ökat, särskilt stor har ökningen varit då det gäller grov misshandel. Vissa platser i innerstaden har en högre frekvens av anmälningar. Dessa platser går i stor utsträckning att knyta till nöjeslivet. Mönstret för Falun stämmer i stort överrens med tidigare forskning om brottslighet, urbanisering och otrygghet. Åtgärderna som vidtas måste vara av socialt såväl som situationellt brottspreventiv karaktär. Åtgärderna som presenteras i detta arbete har föreslagits vid liknande arbeten som gjorts tidigare. Det jag har försökt göra är att samla ihop det bästa från dessa arbeten och hitta de åtgärder som kan tänkas passa för Falun. Stor vikt bör läggas vid att minska överserveringen på krogarna. Detta kan göras genom att krogens serveringspersonal utbildas i ansvarsfull alkoholservering. Utbildningen finns redan utarbetad och beprövad genom STAD-projektet. Det har gett mycket goda resultat och har dessutom visat att krögaren inte behöver lida ekonomisk skada, bara för att överserveringen upphör. Samarbetet mellan ordningsvakter och poliser måste förbättras och detta kan göras enligt den modell man använt sig av i Helsingborg. Polisen bör också styra sitt arbete till de platser och tider som är mest utsatta. Det socialt brottspreventiva arbetet är minst lika viktigt om man vill påverka problemet på sikt. För att lyckas med det måste hela samhället involveras och inse att polisen inte är de som ensamma ska lösa problemet brottslighet. Det främsta målet med ett socialt brottspreventivt arbete är att motverka nyrekryteringen till kriminella livsstilar och öka individers självkontroll mm.

Abstract:
Ett problem i dagens moderna samhälle är att bullernivåerna är för höga. Dessa höga bullernivåer är en hälsorisk och kan ge människan permanenta skador. Buller är något som inte får försummas. Syftet med examensarbetet är att identifiera och kartlägga bullret på Holmgatan i centrala Falun. Syftet är också att analysera resultatet och sätta det i förhållande till myndigheternas krav och riktlinjer avseende bullernivåer. Examensarbetet avgränsas till bullermätning och kartläggning på delar av Holmgatan i centrala Falun, som bedömts vara extra utsatta för buller. Bullermätningarna utfördes under fyra vardagar och under tider från det att de flesta affärer öppnar till att de stänger, kl. 10-18. Metoden bestod utav bullermätningar som utfördes med en timmes intervall längs den utvalda delen av Holmgatan. Dagarna då dessa mätningar utfördes var 2/12 till 5/12-2013. Resultatet redovisas som medelvärdet per timme av alla dagar då bullermätningarna utfördes. Resultatet varierade, det lägsta bullermedelvärdet var 57 dB och det högsta bullermedelvärdet var 83 dB. Det syns tydligt att de högre värdena ligger närmare en gata som används av bussar och andra transportfordon. De lägre värdena låg oftast i närheten av Geislerka parken, som är en stor och öppen yta mitt i Holmgatan. Över lag så låg bullermedelvärdena mellan 60-65 dB. Slutsatsen tyder på att bullernivån på Holmgatan överskrider inte myndigheternas krav på vad som anses som skadligt men ligger strax under riktlinjerna för maximalnivån för utomhusbuller (70 dB). Åtgärder såsom att plantera vegitation på fasader och omleda trafiken skulle kunna vidtas för att minska bullernivån på Holmgatan.
A problem in today's modern society is that the noise levels are too high. These high levels of noise is a health hazard and can give man permanent damage. Noise pollution is something that must not be neglected. The purpose of this study is to identify and map the noise on Holmgatan in central Falun. The purpose is also to analyze the results and put them in relation with the regulatory requirements and guidelines regarding noise levels and to analyze the results and see if actions should be taken against the noise on Holmgatan. The thesis is limited to noise measurements and mapping of parts of Holmgatan, considered to be especially vulnerable to noise. Noise measurements were conducted during four weekdays and during times from when most stores open to most of them then closing, at. 10-18. The method consisted of noise measurements which were performed at hourly intervals along the selected portion of Holmgatan. The days on which these measurements were performed was from 2/12 to 5/12-2013. The results are reported as average value per hour of any day on which noise measurements were made. The results varied, the lowest average noise was 57 dB and the highest average noise was 83 dB. It is clearly seen that the higher values are closer to a street used by buses and other transport vehicles. The lower values were generally near Geislerka parken, which is a large garden, an open area in the middle of Holmgatan. Overall, the average noise values were between 60-65 dB. The conclusion suggests that the noise level at Holmgatan do not exceed regulatory requirements on what is considered as harmful but it is just below the guidelines for the maximum level of outdoor noise (70 dB). Actions such as planting vegetation on the facades and to redirect the traffic could be done to reduce noise levels at Holmgatan.

Abstract:
This work has been carried out on behalf of and together with Falu Energi och Vatten. The purpose of the work was to study under what circumstances it´s economically profitable to expand the district heating network to residential area with electrical heating compared to keep it as it is today. The expansion of the district heating network will also be simulated to investigate if the existing dimensions of the network are big enough to provide enough heat after the expansion. In this work three different areas in Falun city area has been studied. Two areas (Ritar-, and Skrivarvägen and Digertäktsvägen) where there is no district heating today, and one area (residential district Haraldsbo) where a part of the area is connected to the district heating network and some are not. The study has been performed under the assumption that the production in the facilities are sufficient for providing also the new areas with heat without any need of new facilities. Another limitation that has been set is that only fuel costs will be taken into account in the production costs for district heating. From the calculations of the net present value for the three different areas with expansions of the district heating system, compared to the calculations of the net present value of keeping it as it is today showed that Ritar-, and Skrivarvägen will need to have at least 30-35% households connected to have the same or higher net present value. The corresponding values for Digertäktsvägen is 35-45% connected households and för Haraldsbo around 15% connected households. It was also examined how the connection rates influenced the prize for the households, if the net present value was going to be equal or bigger than for the present situation without any connection cost.  It was found that for Harladsbo where there already are some households with district heating only 15% of the today not connected needed to sign up for district heating and in the areas that does not have any district heating today (Ritar-, and Skrivarvägen and Digertäktsvägen) 50-70% needed to sign up for district heating. “Falu Energi och Vatten” calculations today demand a payback time of 12 years of the investment in the district heating infrastructure. To get that 30 -40% needed to connect in Ritar-, and Skrivarvägen and Digertäktsvägen, on Haraldsbo the connection rate had to be over 15%. The results from the simulations made on the district heating infrastructure showed that on Ritar-, and Skrivarvägen the network is sufficient to supply the whole area with heat at the dimensional outdoor temperature of -23°C, also with 100% connections on Haraldsbo the pressure difference, flow speed and pressure gradient are within the permitted span. Simulations of Haraldsbo showed that with a connection rate of 100% the pressure difference got to low in one corner of the area. If the connection rate instead is 50% at Haraldsbo the area manage to keep the pressure difference at an approved level of 160 kPa, if we then also connect 100% at Ritar-, and Skrivarvägen, the pressure difference sinks down to 100 kPa which is the absolute lowest that is permitted.

Abstract:
The area at and around the Falun copper mine has always been of great interest. To begin with it was the valuable ore that drew people to the area. Now it is the historical, archaeological and environmental aspects that draw researchers from different fields of study to Falun. Peat cores were taken in several peatlands throughout an area extending toward about 2 kilometres to the west, southwest and south of the Falun mine. One core was selected for more extensive studies including plant macrofossil analysis, loss on ignition (LOI) and 14C – analysis. These methods are combined to give a picture of the environmental conditions at different periods in time, using plants and their preferred growth environment as an aid. The untouched environment changing into the well-known mining landscape that prevailed in the hey-day of the mine, with the change being the focal point, is the reason for this study.The cores presented in this thesis generally show lake areas drying up and transforming into peatlands, some peatlands may however have been formed in other ways. The location chosen for further studies is now almost transformed to a forest floor. This study provides a solid foundation for further studies as well as adds more information to existing knowledge. However, more research is needed to fully understand how the environment changed due to the opening of the mine.
Området vid och runt Falu koppargruva har alltid varit av stort intresse. Till en början var det den dyrbara malmen som lockade människor till platsen. Numer är det de historiska, arkeologiska och miljörelaterade aspekterna som lockar forskare från olika forskningsfält hit. Torvkärnor togs från flera torvmarker inom ett område som sträcker sig ungefär 2 kilometer i väst-, sydväst-, och sydlig riktning från Falu gruva. En torvkärna valdes ut för mer omfattande undersökningar, dessa inkluderar växt-makrofossil-analys, LOI och 14C – analys. Dessa metoder kombineras för att få en bild av de rådande miljöförhållandena vid olika tidpunkter, genom att använda växters föredragna växtplats som hjälp. Det är hur den orörda naturen förändrats till det välkända gruvlandskapet som rådde under gruvans storhetstid, med förändringen i centrum, som är anledningen till denna studie.Torvkärnorna som visas i denna rapport visar i stort sett hur sjömiljöer torkat ut och förändrats till våtmarker, vissa våtmarker kan dock ha utvecklats på annat sätt. Den plats som valdes ut för vidare studier har idag nästan helt omvandlats till skogsmark. Denna studie ger en stadig grund för vidare studier och tillför viss information till den redan befintliga. Det behövs dock mer forskning för att fullt ut förstå de miljöförändringar som gruvdriften medförde.

The work was done with consideration to former ways of organizing the material, and a great deal of research was needed in order to establish the outer provenance of the archive.The theoretical discussion goes deeper into the questions of provenance and appraisal in regard to the work,and some choices, especially the decision to reorganize the archive, are motivated with reference to Swedishrules and regulations concerning state authorities' archival management and their duties towards Swedish citizens.

Eidensjö, Menzing Helena, and Fredrik Redhe. "Förena avveckling med CSR: Hur lyckades Scania i Falun?" Thesis, KTH, Industriell produktion, 2012. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kth:diva-102497.

Full text
Abstract:
I denna rapport beskrivs ett projektarbete vars syfte har varit att undersöka hur företagsavveckling kan förenas med samhälleligt företagsansvar med avseende på personalen. Vi gjorde detta genom att titta på hur företaget Scanias avveckling av axelfabriken i Falun gick till, en avveckling som av intressenter anses ha skötts bra och ansvarsfullt. Då avveckling av verksamhet är något som många företag genomför till följd av en strävan efter att vara konkurrenskraftiga på den globala marknaden, är det intressant att se hur detta kan göras och samtidigt ta ett ansvar gentemot de anställda.Rapporten gjordes utifrån en kvalitativ fallstudie där material har inhämtats genom intervjuer och en litteraturstudie. Inledningsvis beskrivs begreppet Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) för att sedan gå över i en redogörelse för vad som gjordes under avvecklingen. Rapporten avslutas med vad vi anser var CSR under avvecklingen samt sammanvävande diskussioner om detta. I arbetet definieras CSR utifrån Archie B. Carrolls teorier, det Normativa perspektivet samt den Europeiska kommissionens definition, där de viktigaste aspekterna är att på frivillig väg handla etiskt och filantropiskt inom ramarna för svensk lagstiftning och ekonomisk vinning. Det framkommer att vissa CSR-aktiviteter kan ha företagsekonomiska motiv utöver ett rent ansvarstagande vilket diskuteras i rapporten. En slutsats vi kom fram till är att företagets och personalens bästa ofta går hand i hand och att ansvarstagande inte behöver utesluta ekonomisk lönsamhet. I rapporten hävdar vi att ”arbetslinjen” var det mest väsentliga av de CSR-aktiviteter som Scania genomförde under avvecklingen, eftersom ett nytt jobb innebär en långsiktig lösning. Arbetslinjen innebär att jobba aktivt för att personalen ska få en ny sysselsättning efter nedläggningen, men också att försöka hitta ersättningsverksamhet (vid avveckling på mindre orter) samt att se till att personalen kan få råd och stöd under hela processen. För att kunna lyckas med arbetslinjen anser vi att avvecklingen behöver göras över en längre tidsperiod. Detta för att kunna slussa ut de anställda på arbetsmarknaden successivt så att inte alla konkurrerar om jobben samtidigt. Men också för att personalen skall ges tid till att bearbeta de psykologiska effekterna som en så pass stor omställning innebär. Vi har alltså kommit fram till att det är arbetslinjen som i första hand ska användas som förebild vid större omstruktureringar.
The purpose of the project described in this report has been to examine how large enterprises can retain Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), with respect to personnel, while closing down a production facility. We did this by looking at the restructuring of Scania's axle production in Falun, a settlement that is considered by stakeholders to have been managed well and responsible. Since restructuring of this kind is made by many enterprises in the pursuit of competitiveness on the global market, it is of interest to examine how this can be done while still acting responsibly toward the employees. The project was carried out using a qualitative case study where the information has been gathered through interviews and a literature study. This report first discusses the concept of CSR and then describes the actions taken during the closing down of the facility. The definition of CSR in the project is based on Archie B. Carroll's theories, the Normative perspective and the European Commission's definition, where the most important points are; a voluntary act performed ethically, and philanthropically, in the context of Swedish legislation and financial gain. It is shown that some CSR-activities can have motives apart from a pure desire to be responsible, an issue which is addressed in the report. One of our conclusions is that the company and the personnel often share a common interest and CSR does not necessarily exclude financial gain. In the report we claim that the “work-line” was the most significant CSR-activity which Scania applied during the closedown and it should be the main approach for a major re-structuring. The base of the “work-line” is to help employees in their search for new employment after the closing down but also to search for replacement operations (when restructuring in small towns) and to ensure that employees can get advice and support throughout the whole process. To be able to undertake a responsible closedown, we believe that the execution needs to be done over a substantial period of time. This is due to the need to be able to introduce the employees to the labor market successively so that not all competes for the same jobs at the same time. But also so that the personnel can be given time to process the psychological effects that come with a change of this magnitude. Our conclusion is that the “work-line” is the CSR-activity that primarily should be used as a role model when undertaking large restructurings.

Abstract:
In nature there are about 4,500 minerals identified. These can roughly be divided into two groups, opaque phases and non-opaque phases, with the exception that some opaque phases also may act as a non-opaque phase in different circumstances. The division is made on the basis of the optical properties. Opaque phases are nontransparent, which means that a different type of microscope must be used. A conventional microscope uses transmitted light while the microscope for opaque phases or the ore microscope uses reflected light. The reason is that ore minerals often behave in an opaque manner. An ore mineral is actually a regular mineral but with the difference that it is economically advantageous to mine. Many sulphide and oxide minerals are classified as ore minerals. Sulfide and oxide ores are often associated with a particular type of formation environment and are found in a few areas in Sweden. Bergslagen, Skelleftefältet and Norrbotten belong to these areas. The purpose of this studie is to identify the mineralization from Skyttgruvan and Näverbergsgruvan in Falun by using a microscope.
I naturen finns cirka 4,500 mineral identifierade. Dessa kan grovt sett delas upp i två grupper nämligen opaka faser och icke-opaka faser, då bortses dock från undantaget att vissa opaka faser också kan beteé sig som icke-opaka faser under olika omständigheter. Uppdelningen är gjord utifrån mineralens optiska egenskaper. Opaka faser är icke genomskinliga vilket innebär att en annan typ av mikroskop än de konventionella måste användas. Ett konventionellt mikroskop använder sig av genomfallande ljus samtidigt som mikroskop för opaka faser använder sig av påfallande ljus, ett så kallat malmmikroskop. Anledningen till att de kallas just så är för att malmineral ofta är opaka. Ett malmmineral är egentligen ett vanligt mineral men som är ekonomiskt fördelaktigt att bryta. Idag är många sulfid- och oxidmineral klassade som malmmineral. Sulfid och oxidmineral är ofta associerade med en viss typ av bildningsmiljö. Denna typ av bildningsmiljö går att finna spår av på några platser i Sverige. Bergslagen, Skelleftefältet och Norrbotten hör till dessa områden. Syftet med denna studie är att identifiera de opaka faserna som påträffats i stuffer som samlats in från Skyttgruvan och Näverbergsgruvan.

Abstract:

Sociologists are concerned with the social implications of technology; new social networks, virtual communities and ways of interaction that have arisen lately. The Internet which is the newest in a series of major information breakthroughs is of interest to sociologists in various ways for example: as a tool for research, for example, in using online questionnaires instead of paper ones, as a discussion platform, a communication tool and as a research topic.

The sociology of the Internet in a formal sense is the study about the analysis of virtual worlds and social changes catalyzed through new media like the Internet. According to DiMaggio et al. (2001), research in sociology of the internet tends to focus on the Internet's implications in the issues of inequality of accessibility of Internet or the issues concerning the digital divide, (the haves and the have not) the adopters versus the non adopters among other issues.

Author and sociologist like Manuel Castells (Castells, 1999, p27) have identified Refugees or new immigrants as a disadvantaged group in the digital society and also various researches including the Swedish Justice department (2002) had identified refugees as a risk group in terms of digital access in Sweden. This means there is a need to bridge the digital divide and promote the use and knowledge of ICT's among the marginalised or segregated groups of people that are found to be at risk, specifically refugees. And one way to bridge the digital divide among these groups will be to Identify the factors that influence their adoption and non adoption of ICT's, because identifying these factors and knowing the problems through the experience of the people affected will generate an opportunity to understand what is required to promote ICT's adoption among these groups.

The results from this study have however shown that although majority of the respondents in this study lack concrete or advance IT skills, both adopter and non adopter have shown huge interest in Internet and share positive experience and perceptions about the Internet. Friends, families and in general the social environment respondents found themselves have played major role in influencing their decision to adopt ICT. The results have also shown that the functions of the internet was a big influence in adopting Internet and this functions displayed by the Internet had contributed to both Integration and facilitation of refugee resettlement in the host nation. Functions such as the use of the internet to communicate and maintain links with home country, use of the internet to access local information concerning host nation where shared by respondents as very valuable function that influence their adoption and continuous usage of the internet. The non adopters attributed largely their lack of IT skills, illiteracy and language as the main obstacles to their adoption of Internet, none of the non adopters perceived the Internet to be negative despite the setbacks in their adoption.
