1. Friluftsliv in Swedish Physical Education – a Struggle of Values : Educational and Sociological Perspectives
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to examine some of the educational and sociological conditions underlying the production of teaching in friluftsliv within the Physical Education (PE) subject in Swedish compulsory school. Despite the value awarded to the Scandinavian outdoor practice friluftsliv, in both the national PE curriculum document and in Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) in Sweden, it does not seem to be thoroughly implemented in compulsory school teaching.

2. Den sjuke mannen : populärkulturella gestaltningar av manlig ohälsa
Sammanfattning : Den här avhandlingen, som handlar om de populärkulturella bilderna av den sjuke mannen, bygger på mediala formuleringar kring manlig ohälsa och sjukdom, primärt under ett svenskt 1990-tal. Syftet med avhandlingen är att analysera populärkulturella förestiillningar om manlig sjukdom och maskulinitet, det vill säga att fånga relationen mellan manlighet och sjukdom på en medierad arena för att se vilken betydelse ohälsa tillskrivs och vilken funktion den fyller i gestaltningen av maskulinitet.

4. Co-firing complex biomass in a CFB boiler : ash transformation, corrosion control and materials selection
Sammanfattning : The effects of greenhouse gas net emissions on global warming, stricter legislation on waste handling, and the pursuit of ever cheaper heat- and power production are all important factors driving the introduction of complex fuels in incineration plants. However - without fundamental knowledge regarding ash transformation, corrosion control, and materials selection – this introduction of potentially economically and environmentally beneficial fuels, might instead cause economic loss and environmentally adverse effects.

5. Becoming-place : (Re)conceptualising friluftsliv in the Swedish physical education and health curriculum
Sammanfattning : This thesis aims to critically examine taken for granted assumptions underpinning friluftsliv and outdoor education as a learning area in the curriculum, and to explore the educational potential of a place-responsive pedagogy. A growing body of critical research in outdoor studies suggest that there has been a discursive shift away from an activity-based personal and social development discourse, in favour of more critical awareness in outdoor education research.
