Syftet med arbetet är att konstruera och beskriva en generell, laborativ undervisningsmetod i matematik, i avseendet att underlätta elevers lärande. Fokus för denna metod ligger på att använda teknologiska hjälpmedel, som finns i elevernas vardag. Metoden innebär att matematiskt analysera filmklipp, som eleverna själva får producera. Metoden har testats i en gymnasieklass och elevintervjuer har gjorts efteråt. Syftet med detta var att undersöka hur elever uppfattar den framtagna metoden, men också att se om det är möjligt att dela in elever i tre olika verksamhetskategorier vid datorbaserad undervisning: Den osäkra, den lösningsorienterade och den reflekterande.

ABSTRACTThe fauna of the Lower Cambrian is far from fully understood, as is the environment of that epoch. Some of the most crucial moments in the history of evolution takes place during this epoch; the Cambrian explosion and the appearance of ecosystems as we know them. That makes it an important period to investigate. Doing so, the Lower Cambrian offers a lot of problems, one of which is that body fossils are seldom preserved. That has often left us with trace fossils to create an image of the Lower Cambrian life, but also some bedrock features such as ripple marks.The main purpose of this work has been to investigate the possibilities of relating the wave lengths and forms of recent wave-generated ripples to fossil ones, and also to evaluate the methods for that kind of comparison.

Höggeröd på nordöstra Orust är ett vackert fritidsområde med en tidstypisk karaktär från sextiotalet som är värd att bevara. Ett problem som uppstått på senare år är att husägarna vill flytta in permanent i sina fritidsstugor och bygga ut dessa till större och mer funktionella villor, men detta godkänner inte detaljplanen. Samtidigt finns en önskan om att kunna lösa detta ändå och göra alla delaktiga parter nöjda. Syftet med rapporten är att uppmana till en fördjupad diskussion om Höggeröds fritidshusområde och frågan om hur dessa skall utvecklas och samtidigt bevaras. Frågan om vilka krav och lagar som gäller kring ombyggnationer har även besvarats för att kunna göra ett så bra underlag som möjligt.För att kunna bevara detta kulturarv så kommer ett underlag till en bevarandeplan att tas fram med hjälp av den här rapporten.

Företagshälsovårdens arbete med levnadsvanor inkluderar hälsoprofilbedömningen som strategi, men metoden förekommer sparsamt i forskningslitteraturen. Därmed finns en folkhälsovetenskaplig relevans i att studera hur metoden kan bidra i arbetet. Studien ämnade ta del av de yrkesverksammas perspektiv.Syftet med studien är att beskriva hur anställda inom en företagshälsovård arbetar med levnadsvanor med särskilt fokus mot de anställdas upplevelser av arbetet kring metoden hälsoprofilbedömning.Metoden som användes var djupintervjuer med fem företagshälsovårdsanställda som uppfyllde urvalskriteriet att arbeta med hälsoprofilbedömning. En intervjuperson tjänstgör som företagssköterska inom en intern företagshälsovård och fyra intervjupersoner tjänstgör inom en extern företagshälsovård, varav två personer arbetar som företagssköterskor och två personer arbetar som hälsopedagoger. Intervjumaterialet analyserades enligt en manifest innehållsanalys.Resultatet visar att arbetet med levnadsvanor är avtalsstyrt och inbegriper individ- och gruppstrategier.

This graduate essay treats how the cultural heritage of Gothenburg is mediated in different respect.The various sources that have been studied are literary such as guidebooks and books that tell thehistory of Gothenburg.

In the second chapter isthe mediation of the history behind cultural heritage as well as its present interpretation described.Therefore, in chapter three, is a short version of the history of Gothenburg described. The main partof the essay, the main examination, is treated in chapter four where literary sources, citywalks andsigns in the area are examined. Chapter four ends with a suggestion of how the cultural heritage inVästra Nordstaden could in a better way be mediated to residents and visitors in Gothenburg.The results and concluding discussion in chapter five reflects on what was represented in chapterfour.

Vi har i detta examensarbete undersökt rapporteringen om metoden ASL - att skriva sig till läsning i hopp om att dra vidare slutsatser om vilken funktion denna metod kan tänkas ha inom tidig läs- och skrivinlärning. För att kunna åstadkomma just det har vi ställt metodens användning i relation till det digitaliserade informationssamhället med dess ökade krav på läs- och skrivförmåga. Genom att använda oss av en kvalitativ innehållsanalys har vi studerat och analyserat uppfattningar som framförs i texter på internetplatsen Lärarnas Nyheter. Resultatet av denna analys har vi sedan tolkat utifrån relevant forskning samt sociokulturell teori. Vi har genom vår undersökning kunnat påvisa att metoden ASL fyller en funktion i den tidiga läs- och skrivinlärningen som ett integrerat stöd i undervisningen samt i egenskap av att vara ett digitalt verktyg..

My thesis is a combination of theory and practice, where theory is meant to create a context and a background for my interpretation proposal. I wanted to ?access? the ideas that are always in the background of the reasoning which underlies both planning in a larger scale, and the design of a place. I wanted to make a ?work of ideas.? In the process of shaping the proposal, I wanted to be deleted from the site itself.

In this study, we have explored a new area called ?gamification? ? a word and concept that was first introduced on the Internet autumn 2010. Gamification concerns integrating game design, with emphasis on game mechanics and game dynamics, into non-gaming contexts ? such as marketing. At its basic definition, it concerns the process of transforming all kinds of activities into games.

The capacity to process and to remember information is a basic condition for language ability and for coming reading ability. Reading ability is strongly connected to phonological awareness, receptive vocabulary knowledge and working memory capacity. In what way hearing impairment in children affects development of cognitive skills and later on reading ability is an area that has attracted minor attention for research.The aim with this study was to investigate changes in cognitive skills and reading ability in children with mild or moderate hearing impairment after one year of progress and furthermore if any connections between any increases of the abilities were to be found. Comparisons were made with results from age adequate normal hearing children. Moreover prosodic ability on word-level was tested this year.

The discussion about high culture and popular culture in our society has been going on for decades. In few places is it as loud as within culture journalism and the critics? society, where the question of what is good taste and what is dumb entertainment constantly gets brought to the surface. Film is a particularly vulnerable area, since it is such a universally appealing and rather young medium. In America and England several studies have been performed of the reviewing society and reveiwers? use of high and low art-discourse in their writing.

The purpose of the study was firstly to describe the use of news articles from the largest Swedish news agency, TT Nyhetsbyrån, in four Swedish newspapers. Secondly, the purpose was to see if there was a homogenization of which TT-articles that was used. This was carried out by examining articles on the newspapers? local, domestic and foreign pages. The newspapers that was chosen were Aftonbladet, Dagens Nyheter, Göteborgs-Posten and Nerikes Allehanda.

In recent decades, demands has emerged that the companies shall take a greater social responsibility for the impact that they have on their environment and that this impact shall be reported, which is known as Sustainability Reporting. The Sustainability Report is based on a number of general principles that ensure the content and the quality of the Sustainability Report. One of these principles is the principle of completeness. In the research, this principle seems to have been interpreted in terms of number of reported aspects and indicators, which can be a limited view where only the existence of the aspects and indicators is observed. By including the degree of the reporting in terms of full, partial and no reporting as well as a comparison between the real and the alleged reporting, our intention is to extend the principle of completeness and to develop a tool that we also apply through an empirical survey in a particular area.

Eutrophication of lakes and streams are nowadays a well known environmental problem and implies an enrichment of the nutrients phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N). Phosphorus is considered to be the most important component for the growth of aquatic plants and leads in too large quantities to an intensification of growth. Phosphate (PO4) is the fraction of phosphorus that can easiest be taken up by plants and thus have the greatest impact on eutrophication. Increased plant growth in lakes and unfavorable conditions for aquatic animals are two examples of negative consequences. A significant portion of the increased nutrient supply to nearby water can be derived to phosphate leaching from agricultural areas, where private sewers and agriculture is two main sources.

How does the criticism of landscape architecture in Swedish professional journals look today? Does it exist at all? What is criticism and what is its purpose? These questions have been the starting point for this degree project. I have found a lot of different answers among journals, books and websites, as well as in interviews with five persons that all have a relation to the landscape architecture criticism in different ways. These answers may look a bit disjointed at first, but are at a closer examination pointing in the same direction ? that the criticism of landscape architecture projects hardly exists today.

The purpose of this study is to study the Swedish Tax information campaigns in 2010-2012. Questions about what worked better than others, and what impact this has had has been set up. The study shows that work has essentially divorced by 2011,worked with a significant amount of local material. This work had an impact on mass media published locally in newspapers. This work fits well with research in the area showing that messages should be tailored to the target audience and capture the target group's interest.
