According to the National Agency for Education 06-06-2010 are approximately 115 000 students graduating from Secondary School in the year of 2010.Out of these students, we know that thousands of them are hampered by reading and writing disabilities in various degrees. Have these students been given the best support needed when it comes to writing and reading?Compensation may be perceived as a goal for the pupil to catch up with the rest of the educational group or as a vehicle to go round the difficulties. In Sweden, diagnosed dyslexics are not allowed to use speech synthesis, a compensatory technical aid, during the 9th degree national tests.This study?s purpose is to discover if the usage of speech synthesis during the national test of Swedish and reading comprehension might work as a motivation booster for the students and consequently increase their test scores.This is a quantitative study including study including 15 pupils with diagnosed reading and writing disabilities.

In the year 1783 a fissure eruption from Laki in the southern part of Iceland produced a large amount of volcanic gases during a period of eight months. The volcanic gases and aerosols spread across the northern hem sphere due to ideal weather conditions and had a substantial impact on the environment, human health and also climate effects. This, so called dry fog, caused severe health problems, which led to death casualties, killing animals, crops and other vegetation. The consequence was a widespread famine which was aggravated by a hard and long winter in 1783/84. Analysis shows that the Icelandic volcanoes are the primary risk to produce dry fog that can affect Sweden.

Cattle used for meat production can be held outside all year round and due to the legislation they should have access to shelters or other buildings for protection against the elements giving them a dry and clean bedding. There are different opinions concerning their need of protection and the question about necessity of shelters for cattle is of current interest due to a less profitable economy in meat production and the investment costs for shelters. The aim of this study was to acquire more knowledge about the natural behaviour of cattle concerning their use of shelters. The basis of the study was a series of questions regarding when animals choose to stay in shelters, if shelters were used less when they had access to protecting vegetation, how temperature and weather conditions affected the use of shelters and the influence of distance between shelter and feed. Behavioural studies was conducted at five different farms where six groups of suckler cows and heifers of following breeds and crossbreeds were observed; Aberdeen Angus, Charolais, Hereford, Scottish Highland Cattle, Simmental and the Swedish breeds SKB and SRB.

Studiens syfte är dels att beskriva elevers uppfattningar om en gruppuppgift, dels att beskriva om dessa uppfattningar kan knytas till elevernas sätt att lösa uppgifterna. En matematisk uppgift användes. Kvalitativa data insamlas om elevers sätt att lösa uppgiften. Ontologiskt och epistemologiskt har undersökningen sin grund i Bhaskars vetenskapliga realism. Den metodiska ansatsen i studien är delvis fenomenografisk.Datainsamlingsmetoder var öppen observation och inspelning av samtal, gruppintervju och fältanteckningar.

Bakgrund: Den postoperativa smärtan är en akut smärta, relaterad till vävnadsskadan som uppstår i samband med kirurgiska ingrepp. Obehandlad postoperativ smärta kan leda till fysiologiska och psykologiska komplikationer. Att bedöma och behandla smärta är inom sjuksköterskans ansvarområde. Syfte är att belysa de metoder som sjuksköterskor använder för att bedöma patientens postoperativa smärta i klinisk omvårdnad. Metod: Examensarbetet är en litteraturstudie baserad på sju vetenskapliga artiklar med kvalitativ ansats från sökningar i databaserna PUBMED, CINAHL och SCOPUS.

The aim of this master thesis is to study what relationship mentally disabled adults have with the public library and what factors affect their meeting with the library. The work of the library is also studied so that the experiences of the mentally disabled can be put in relation to the work performed for the group. The method used was interviews with four mentally disabled adults and one librarian responsible for the social function and availability at the library. As a theoretical framework Marianne Andersson and Dorte Skot-Hansen?s model over the profiles of the library and Michael Buckland?s barriers, which must be overcome to achieve full access to information, were used.

AbstraktHaving influence over questions that concern us is a part of the society that we live in, where every individual have the right to make her voice heard (Danell, 2006). For many decades, the school has had many different ways to give the students influence. Rönnlund (2013) is giving a historical overview of the history of students influence and enlighten us how the influence has changed over time. The influence from the students is very important and it is the students right to make their voices heard about things that concerns their work environment but also to affect their curriculum. The education in school should be fitted to every individual student (Danell, 2006).   According to Aaron Antonovsky (2007) our wellbeing is based on that we all can take part and deicide about the things we are meant to do.

The recent development in several countries? legislation and best practice recommendations in relation to corporate governance in general and audit committees in particular have affected Swedish listed corporations in the form of the Swedish Corporate Governance Code and the coming EU-directive. This paper aims to discover what factors affected Swedish listed companies to form audit committees when this was entirely voluntary. We collected data from the annual reports of 121 Swedish listed companies and formed eleven hypotheses as to what factors we believed affected the voluntary formation of audit committees based on Agency Theory, economies of scale and circumstances specific to the Swedish environment. We then analyzed the data through the use of a multivariate logistic regression model.

The decrease in the number of dairy farms in Sweden has been ongoing for a longer period of time. But the fact is that this has previously not had any big effects on total amount of milk produced in Sweden. The main reason is that the remaining dairy farms get larger. However, during the past year, there has been a decrease in the total amount of produced milk, because the decrease is faster than the increase within the farms that are left. During the same period of time the supply of milk on the global market also has decreased. In spite of the fact that the global supply have decreased and the fact that the milk price increases, there are dairy farmers in Sweden who chose to exit the market.

Syftet med undersökningen är att granska motiven för, samt beskriva och utvärdera delar av det organiserade läsprojekt som sedan år 2000 pågår i arbetsenhet 4 på Gumaeliusskolan i Örebro. Undersökningsarbetet har sin utgångspunkt i den metod som i den traditionella forskningsprocessen benämns som observation. Observation ska här förstås som en samlingsbeteckning för alla de olika metoder som använts för att söka empirisk kontakt med undersökningens informanter. Backman (1998) För att få reda på vad elever och lärare tycker om litteraturläsning på schemat intervjuas i undersökningen sexton informanter, av dessa är fyra undervisande lärare i arbetslag 4 på Gumaeliusskolan i Örebro samt övriga tolv elever i årskurs 7 respektive 9. Även om den schemalagda läsningen i arbetsenhet 4, under de sex år som den har pågått, har funnit sin form och läspassen numera ses av majoriteten elever och personal som naturliga inslag i arbetsveckan är inte projektet befriat från konflikter.
