Academic literature on the topic 'Svenska universitet'

Historiebevissthet ble lansert som det nye slagordet for historiefaget i den skandinaviske skolen på 1980-tallet. Mens talsmenn for den nye strømningen ønsket å dreie skolefaget i mer filosofisk retning og i større grad rette fokuset mot elevenes hverdagsliv og identitet, innvendte kritikerne at de nye tankene ikke lot seg operasjonalisere i klasserommet. Artikkelen gjennomgår og analyserer resultatene fra et utvalg av ni norske og svenske studier som har undersøkt lærernes forståelse av historiebevissthetsbegrepet og dets nedslag i skolen. Gjennomgangen viser at det er et stort gap mellom ambisjonsnivået som historiedidaktikere ved universiteter og lærerutdanningsinstitusjoner har siktet seg inn mot, og mottagelsen av dette tankegodset i skolen.

It is Commonly Claimed that American society is crime-ridden and violent. Horrendous numbers of murders are committed, almost twice the per capita rate in 2004–05 of the nearest competitors, Switzerland, Finland, and Sweden (figure 67). The death-by-assault rates in America are over three times the nearest European comparisons, Finland, followed by Portugal. That is without question. Such mayhem cannot be due simply to gun ownership, since by some accounts the Finns and the Swiss have a higher percentage of armed households than the Americans (figure 68). Firearms ownership, though highest in the United States per capita if measured by individual citizen, is not as far beyond the European numbers as one might expect from the horror stories of South Central or the South Bronx. According to the Graduate Institute of International Studies in Geneva, Americans own 97 firearms per hundred people, the Finns 69, the Swiss 61, the Swedes 40. Another survey, published by Tilburg University in the Netherlands, the Dutch Ministry of Justice, and two United Nations Institutes, reveals that percentage-wise there are more firearms in the hands of the residents of Zurich, Vienna, Stockholm, Rome, Reykjavik, Oslo, Madrid, Lisbon, Helsinki, and Athens than in those of New Yorkers. Indeed, the burghers of Helsinki, Berlin, Lisbon, Rome, Vienna, and Zurich own proportionately as many or more handguns as New Yorkers. To the extent that gun ownership and hunting overlap, the distinctions between the United States and Europe also fade. Svenska Jägarförbundet, the Swedish Hunters Association, has a membership (200,000) that is proportionately almost twice as high as what the National Rifl e Association claims (4 million). The Schweizer Schiesssportverband (Swiss Shooting Association) has a membership (85,000) that is relatively as high as the NRA’s. Its arguments against current proposals to regulate gun ownership in Switzerland more strictly sound many of the same themes that are heard in the United States, down to the slogan about people, not guns, doing the actual killing. The smaller Pro-Tell Society defends gun ownership as part of Switzerland’s liberal tradition. In Switzerland, of course, men oft en keep their military weapons at home.

Kommunikation är en viktig del i våra liv. Men långt ifrån alla har möjligheten att kommunicera som de vill och önskar. Ålderssjukdomar som demens och Parkinsons påverkar vår möjlighet att kommunicera. Bristande kunskaper kring sjukdomar och dess påverkan ger sämre förutsättningar för de som drabbas. Vi vill lyfta frågan om kommunikationssvårigheter för personer med just ålderssjukdomar - för att du, precis som vi, ska se hur viktigt det är att samtala med omtanke.
