Denna studie handlar om den fysiska miljön i två förskolor, hur rummen är utformade, hur olika flöden ser ut i dessa rum samt vad barnen gör när de befinner sig i de olika rummen. Vårt syfte med studien var att undersöka relationen mellan den fysiska miljön och barns rörelser samt aktiviteter i den fria leken. Vi har använt oss av observation som metod och följt barnen i deras fria lek och hur de rör sig i och mellan rummen. Studien består av två delstudier där den ena undersökte de två förskolornas utformning och flöden och den andra undersökte barns aktiviteter i de olika rummen. Vi fann att de båda förskolorna har ett varsitt rum som fungerar som en central punkt i förskolan, både för barn och vuxna.

A foundation of our welfare state is that we have a social safety net. This safety net is designed to pick up individuals who are in need of help and support to manage their way of life. This essay regards people who need help with care or people who need help with an addiction. This essay is a qualitative text analysis, which aims to see whether, and if so how, help-seekers are constructed in 40 social service documents within a municipality in central Sweden. We have endeavored to illustrate the power that the written word possesses and which categories of people are constructed depending on the language and content of the social documents.

The aim of this study is to explore how sports journalism can include and/or exclude athletics from a national community.

The aim of this essay is to examine the experiences of an introduction process of newcomers through an integrative perspective, by two guiding questions: How does the examined organization socialize newcomers? How is the organizational socialization experienced by the employees? Most Swedish corporations engage in some form of workplace introduction and this introduction should give the newcomer an understanding of his work and its relation to the organizations other business practices. Earlier studies have mostly focused on the effects of socialization tactics but few on the experience. This study, based on qualitative interviews with a regional manager, newcomers and established employees shows that the studied organization socializes its newcomers through many socialization tactics where the newcomers? personality and previous knowledge allows to direct the socialization process.

Syftet med denna studie har varit att undersöka ett område som i mina ögon är relativt lite behandlat, nämligen domänkunskap. Denna förvärvas i systemutvecklingens första fas, analysen.I den litteratur som jag har studerat påpekar flera forskare att en systemutvecklingsgrupp bär ha god domänkunskap, Vad som saknas hos flera av dem var en definition av begreppet domänkunskap, dvs det som de själva ansåg vara viktigt för systemutvecklarna.Avsikten med studien blev att undersöka vad systemexperter lägger i begreppet domänkunskap. Detta ledde till problemformuleringen " Några svenska systemexperters definition av domänkunskap, hur den förvärvas samt några utvecklingstrender".För att behandla problemformuleringen valdes halvstrukturerad intervjusom undersökningsmetod. 12 systemexperter från sju företag intervjuades.De viktigaste slutsatserna av studien är:· Det tycks inte finnas någon koncensus om begreppet domänkunskap.· Vid förvärvandet av domänkunskap arbetar man mest med intervjuer och/eller brainstorming och därefter prototyper.· Studien har inte gett svar på hur mycket resurser som läggs på analys. Flertalet intervjuade ansåg dock att man bör tilldela analysen mer resurser i framtiden.· Utvecklingen går mot att analysen kommer att få en mer central roll..

Syftet är att ur ett genusperspektiv undersöka hur människan framställs i fyra läroböcker om religionskunskap, avsedda för gymnasieskolan. Läroböckerna är från åren 1973, 1988, 1998 och 2006 och undersökningen intar således ett diakront perspektiv. Frågan är om framställningen förändrats under tidsperioden 1973-2006, och i så fall på vilket sätt. Metoden utgår från beskrivande idéanalys där textanalysen utgör ett verktyg för att kunna utröna underliggande strukturer i textmaterialet. Som verktyg används en analysmodell vilken i sin tur är förankrad i teorin.

Denna uppsats utgår ifrån Grönroos modell över total upplevd kvalitet och syftar till att undersöka upplevd väntetid som en del av funktionell kvalitet. Detta görs genom att studera om den omgivning som kunder väntar i kan påverka den upplevda väntetiden. Genom den tidigare forskningen har tre omgivningsfaktorer identifierats som kan tänkas påverka den upplevda väntetiden: tristess, osäkerhet och orättvisa. Fokus ligger på banktjänster och för att svara på syftet har en enkät delats ut till personer som precis genomfört ett bankärende. Svaren från denna har sedan använts i en regressionsanalys för att se om det finns några samband.

Ad Astra är en cirkushall, högt beläget på en skogsbeklädd kulle ca 10 minuter från Alby centrum. Här samlas hela Cirkus Cirkörs verksamhet under ett tak: elever, lärare, administration och besökare.Promenadvägen från Albys tunnelbana leder fram till ett torg med den nya byggnaden som fond. Ett strikt grid av 58 stålpelare definierar ett uterum på byggnadens tak som sluttar upp mot en kopparkub bland träden. Här skapas möjligheter till allt från utomhusföreställningar till picknick i ett landskap som subtilt smälter samman med den bakomliggande skogen. Gränsen mellan natur och struktur suddas ut samtidigt som taket ger en oöverträffad utsikt över Alby och Albysjön.Internt är byggnaden tvådelad med en publik, öppen del och en sluten,flexibel hallösning.
