AbstractDet övergripande syftet med uppsatsen är att förstå varför det förekommit problem med färdtjänsten i Lund sedan seklets början. Vi undersöker dels vad det innebär att styra färdtjänsten med kontrakt och dels beställarkompetensen hos tekniska förvaltningen i Lund. Våra resultat visar på att styrformen i sig inte behöver orsaka problem, men att det troligen spelar in i detta fall eftersom förvaltningen inte haft tillräcklig beställarkompetens för att minska vissa transaktionskostnader av kontraktsstyrningen. Det finns även vissa indikationer på att utvecklingen av förtroende mellan aktörerna missgynnats av turbulensen under de första åren på seklet. Förvaltningen rekommenderas utveckla en mer omfattande beställandekompetens genom systematiska utvärderingar..

AbstractThe purpose of our study was to examine how four different organizations cooperate on rehabilitation of people to get them back to employment. More specifically our aim was to investigate how different organizations in a project, involving workrehabilitation, looks at cooperation. Our main questions were vague at the beginning of our study, but finally our focus became clear. The questions were formed with help from the research of Hjortsjö (2006) and Fridolf (2000): Which possibilities and hindrances identify the different organizations which cooperate? What does cooperation mean to the representatives from the different organizations which are included in KARB? Our result shows that the respondents mostly think positive of the project KARB.

AbstractDenna uppsats handlar om elevers uppfattningar om fult språk år 2008. Syftet med uppsatsen är att blivande svensklärare ska tillägna sig en föreberedelse för den kommande lärarrollen, och få en medvetenhet om vilket språkbruk eleverna har. Sjuttio elever har svarat på enkätfrågor som handlar om vad de anser vara fult språk, om de använder fult språk och vilka platser de anser att de inte får använda fult språk. Elevernas svar har sammanställs och mönster har framkommit. Resultatet visar att majoriteten av eleverna använder någon form av fula ord.

AbstractI believe that everyone have the right to understand and be understood. It doesn´t matter if you are an immigrant, suffer from dyslexia or just don´t like to read.In this study I test the difference between a normal written and an easy-to-read routine. I want to know if there is a way to improve a routine in such a way that even people without pre-understanding can comprehend the content.Routines are an important part in many organisations. Staffroutines in nursinghomes don´t exist just to ensure that caretakers are being taken care of in the right way according to the rules and wishes of the organisation. They also exist to make the work with people who suffer from dementia easier for the staff.Routines are in other words very important.

Abstract This research is about outdoor education as a pedagogical method, and its purpose is to find out six teachers thoughts about outdoor learning, and their experiences about this method.Many philosophers and advocates for the outdoor education claims that learning is best acquired when children uses all their senses and that school subjects that are thought in the classrooms also can be thought outdoors.  Studies have shown that children´s health and learning ability increase when they are thought outdoors.Interviews and observations have been done.My questions are: How do the teachers practice outdoor education in their classes and what is the result? Which subjects do they use in outdoor education? Do the teachers see any obstacles using the outdoor method and why do the not use it to a greater extent? Keywords: Outdoor education, outdoor mathematics, learning and effects, children, thoughts and expiriences. .

Abstract:Syftet med arbetet var att ta reda på om invandrarelever har lättare för matematik än för svenska. Syftet formulerades utifrån tanken om att matematiken skulle vara enklare att behärska då kravet på språket eventuellt inte var lika stort som i svenskan.Undersökningen genomfördes dels genom att undersökningspersonerna fick fylla i en enkät och dessutom tittade man på undersökningspersonernas nationella prov i matematik och svenska som genomfördes i åk 5 av de medverkande.Resultatet av detta arbete har varit svårt att redovisa då detta arbete bygger på en liten grund. Utifrån materialet som har funnits till hands kan man konstatera att eleverna själva anser att ämnet svenska är lättare än ämnet matematik. Vad som ligger bakom detta är svårt att få fram utifrån materialet som finns tillgängligt..

Abstract I vår studie har vi valt att undersöka hur barn lär sig läsa ur ett pedagogiskt synsätt där vi har fokus på två metoder LTG (läsning på talets grund) och Wittingmetoden samt hur dessa två metoder förhåller sig till varandra. Vi ska även använda bedömningsmaterialet LUS som hjälpmedel på hur den kan integreras in i metoderna och elevernas utveckling inom läs- och skrivinlärning. I vårt examensarbete har vi använt oss av den kvalitativa forskningsmetoden där fokus har legat på litteraturstudie. I slutet av vårt examensarbete kommer vi fram till, utifrån litteraturstudien att LTG metoden är den metod där eleverna utvecklar läsförståelsen gemensamt med andra elever mest effektivt för varje elevs. Alla lärare strävar efter att hjälpa elever utveckla och underlätta läsutvecklingen med hjälp av kamrater, hjälpmedel för att eleven ska kunna utvecklas så bra så möjligt inom sin egen läsutveckling..

AbstractSyftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur lärare arbetar för att eleverna ska uppnå målen i kursplanerna för bild och musik. Anledningen till valet av problemområde beror på vårt stora intresse för bild- och musikundervisning. Intervjuer har gjorts med tre lärare som undervisar i bild och tre lärare som undervisar i musik. Eleverna som de undervisar går i skolår F-6. Intervjuerna visar att respondenterna anser att det kan vara svårt att få eleverna att uppnå målen.

AbstractThis is the paper you should read if you want to know more about working in team. Teamwork is a way of working and it increases more and more among societies and companies today, but it is not quite clear what the diffrences is from working in groups. We have in this paper tried to clear out the differences between groups and team, and we have also tried to give an oversight of how to work in team in organizations. Cultures of organizations, leadership and power and also development of qualifications are big parts of an organization´s daily work, and we have explained these concepts from a teamperspective.We have, in this paper, done interviews with people that have been in contact with the central consepts that we use. And then we have analyzed their answers with help from litterature, which we have closely studied, thereafter we have presented our results.

AbstractThe aim of this thesis is to analyse a proposition that was made by the Swedish liberal party in the election campaign in 2002. The proposition was part of an integration program and the main point was that to become a Swedish citizen you should do a test to prove your ability in Swedish. In this paper, I?ve been investigating the way that this proposition was presented and the reactions that it met among the Swedish people. In my work I have noticed that there are some specific arguments that were very powerful and which were the ones that attracted most people.

Abstract  The importance of the co-occurrence of callous-unemotional traits and impulsivity concerning aggressive acts was examined by a survey. The participants consisted of 1478 Swedish youth. Three groups with extreme scores on callous-unemotional traits and impulsivity was identified.  The group scored high on both was more prone to show higher levels of aggressive and conduct problems behavior compare to the other groups. The aggressive and conduct problem behavior was shown at higher level in all examine variables. This study highlight that impulsivity can identify extreme aggressive individuals, without taking HIA (Hyperactivity, Impulsivity and Attention) problem as a entirety, to account, if shown with callous-unemotional traits. Keywords: Callous-unemotional traits, impulsivity, aggressive, conduct problem, youth, co-occurrence..
