Reading as Identity Construction. : Practices and processes of building a sense of community in literature discussions among male Vehicle Engineering students.
No full textIn this dissertation literature discussions which include students of Vehicle Engineering at a Swedish upper secondary school will be discussed. The students are all boys. The study is focused on these boys’ small-group literature discussions, and the aim of the study is to describe what happens when they discuss four of the novels that form an integral part in the context of their Swedish studies. Principal fields of interest are the readings and the reception that the boys give utterance to in the literature discussions, as well as the identity-constructing processes which set in when they interact in the light of what they have read. The empirical material consists of eleven video recorded small-group discussions, and a conversational analytic perspective is combined with a reception theory perspective in the dissertation. The study shows that a sense of community is vital to the core of the boys’ literature discussions, and this has an influence on the reception and the readings that come up in the discussions. The boys are anxious to come to an agreement and voices which threaten to shatter the sense of community that has been constructed in the discussions are opposed in different ways. The literature discussions are not only arenas where the boys construct themselves as readers but are also considered as a forum where various identity-constructing practices take place. As readers these boys are bound to what can be read, and what cannot be read, in literary texts, but it is possible to see a certain development in their readings towards a more complex attitude, such as they find expression in the discussions. The boys also carry out the literature discussions, and the constructed sense of community is based on the reading of the novel to be discussed in a small-group discussion. Thus the boys take on the responsibility for their own learning as well. Many of the processes in which the boys are involved during the literature discussions could be described as processes of social reproduction, but various dividing lines which could be identified in the study also show that there are openings for other directions of the discussions.

Consumable research in Information Systems : Perspectives and distinctive areas
No full textInformation Systems is an expansive discipline in society today. As representatives of the Karlstad University approach we consider that the task of Information Systems is to illustrate how the use of modern information technology can support business operations; create new business opportunities and contribute to a more proactive service management in private companies and public organisations. Information Systems is a multidisciplinary subject with elements of technical, economic and pedagogical aspects. It is founded on an approach called "consumable research", which means that our research is a combination of theoretical rigour and industry relevance. The challenge is to create mutual benefits to both the academic world and the business community when implementing theoretical knowledge in practice. In this chapter we will introduce the subject Information Systems from different perspectives, and present the five distinctive areas on which we have concentrated our research at Karlstad University</p
On Methods for Systems Development in Professional Organisations : The Karlstad university Approach to Information Systems and its Role in Society
No full textThis is explained in the initial chapter by Stig Håkangård, head of division, and Anders G. Nilsson, professor, at Karlstad University:"Information Systems is an expansive discipline in society today.

”Ja, denna stig är stigarnas stig” : Taoistiska influenser i Vilhelm Ekelunds verk
No full textMattias Aronsson, ”Ja, denna stig är stigarnas stig”. Taoistiska influenser i Vilhelm Ekelunds verk (“Yes, this path is the path of paths”. Taoist influence in the works of Vilhelm Ekelund) In this article I show how Taoist philosophy has influenced the Swedish poet, essayist and aphorist Vilhelm Ekelund. I note that the author mentions the Taoist philosophers Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu and discusses their ideas on a couple of occasions in his later works (Atticism – Humanism, 1943; Plus salis–, 1945). Examples of such explicit influence can also be found in Ekelund’s private notebooks, posthumously published in two volumes: Hemkomst och flykt (1972) and Ur en scholaris’ verkstad (1974). I argue that Taoist philosophy implicitly influenced the Swedish author as early as the second part of the 1910’s – when he started to emphasize such principles as moderation, composure, dispassion and non-desire in his writing. I also discuss other important ideals which Ekelund shared with the Taoist philosophers, such as poverty, humility, simplicity and dishonour. Finally, I see a parallel in the anti-intellectual aspects of Taoist thinking and Ekelund’s use of the term misologi (misology), a word which often has positive connotations in his works. In Ekelund’s prose, as well as in the famous Taoist text Tao Te Ching, excessive intellectualism is frequently criticized

Att framställa det oframställbara. Stig Larssons poesi och det postmoderna
No full textThe paper constitutes an analysis of the poetry of Stig
Larsson in the context of the postmodern break-up of traditional
definitions of literary genres. The characteristic features of the
Swedish poet's work are ambiguity, fragmentation, rich intertextual
references, and, most importantly, a radically undefined, diffuse
persona of the speaker, no longer able to organize the presented
world. Larsson's poetry is rich in lexical, semantic and syntactic
experimentation. The poet suggests a change in the relation
between the author and the reader
Havbruk — bærekraftig verdiskaping og sameksistens
No full textNorge er verdens største produsent av atlantisk laks. Næringen bidrar med betydelig verdiskaping og sysselsetting langs kysten. Videre vekst avhenger blant annet av tilgang til nye arealer og at veksten er bærekraftig. Bakgrunnen for prosjektet "Havbruk - Bærekraftig verdiskaping i produksjonsområder" er at videre vekst i havbruksnæringen i Norge styres bl.a. av produksjonsområdeforskriften, der grønt lys gis hvis lusenivået i fjordene er lavt nok til å unngå bestandsdesimerende effekter på utvandrende smolt fra villaks. Dette gir aktørene i de 13 produksjonsområdene (PO-ene) i Norge anledning til å søke om økt produksjon, bl.a. via auksjonsordningen. Et viktig tema i denne kunnskapsutviklingen er områdesamarbeid – på hvilken måte samhandler havbruksaktørene og samfunnet rundt dem, og hvordan kan samarbeidet bidra til nytte for både næring og lokalsamfunn. I hovedsak medfører denne ordningen at man er helt gjensidig avhengig av hverandre for å kunne opprettholde grønt trafikklys, enten man er oppdretter eller kommune. Hvor bevisst er man på dette i PO12? Det andre hovedspørsmålet omhandler Havbruksfondet, som med utbetalinger til oppdrettskommunene er en incentivordning som er en godtgjørelse for å stille sjøarealer til disposisjon og samtidig skal stimulere vertskommuner til å legge til rette for tilgang til mer sjøarealer og vekst i oppdrettsnæringen. Hvordan fungerer denne ordningen? Hvilken effekt har den både i kommunene og for oppdrettsnæringens utvikling? Hvilke utbetalinger har oppdrettskommuner og fylkeskommuner mottatt hittil, og hvilke utbetalinger kan disse forvente å motta i årene framover etter at innretningen av Havbruksfondet ble endret f.o.m. utbetalingene i 2020. Produksjonsområdeforskriften og Havbruksfondet er altså to sentrale tema som belyses i rapporten. Rapporten gir i tillegg et overblikk over forvaltningen av næringen, næringens aktivitet og dens økonomiske og sysselsettingsmessige bidrag til lokalsamfunnene, særlig i produksjonsområde 12, men også i Finnmark generelt og landet. Prosjektarbeidet har basert seg på et betydelig omfang av kilder og der intervju av oppdrettsselskaper, kommuner og andre nøkkelaktører inngår. Videre er arbeidet basert på tilgjengelig litteratur på fagområdet og ulike dataregistre, særlig fra Fiskeridirektoratet, SSB og direkte innhentede data fra oppdrettsselskapene fram mot våren 2022.Havbruk — bærekraftig verdiskaping og sameksistenspublishedVersio
