The purpose of this essay was to examine the importance language has to the feeling of being left out of the society. The intention was to compare thoughts and feelings between two different groups. One of the groups was people suffering from aphasia and the other was immigrants.

The focus of this thesis is the presence of octagonal churches during medieval time. It discusses the meaning of the architectural outline of the building, the numerological symbolism behind the number eight, and the reason why these churches were built and by whom. To further the study, two Scandinavian churches have been used as examples: the church in Store Heddinge on Zealand, Denmark and the
This Master’s thesis in library and information science deals with the relationship between research and practice of information literacy education.

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Gemensamt för alla hydrologiska datormodeller är att de ger en mer eller mindre förenklad bild av det verkliga hydrologiska systemet. Modelltyperna var till en början enkla men efter hand som hydrologiska kunskaper förbättrats och datortekniken utvecklats har flera typer av hydrologiska datormodeller tagits fram. Många av dagens modelltyper är komplexa och illusResearch in hydrological modelling has been directed towards the development of more complex models that may consider the spatial and temporal variations of meteorological and physical characteristics of a drainage basin. The aim with this study was to evaluate the HBV-model (Hydrologiska Byråns Vattenavdelning), a conceptual, semi-distributed hydrological model. This model is able to take the spa
