Det blir allt viktigare att som organisation skaffa sig hållbara verktyg i skapandet av ett dagligt lärande i syfte att ständigt förbättra och utveckla verksamheten för att kunna stärka sin konkurrenskraft. På senare år har chefsrollen alltmer kommit att handla om att leda och coacha sina medarbetare till lärande och utveckling. Syftet med denna studie var att, med utgångspunkt i en av Scanias fem ledarskapsprinciper ?Bygg kunnande genom kontinuerligt lärande?, undersöka hur första linjens chefer på Scania stimulerar dagligt lärande på arbetsplatsen. Tio semistrukturerade djupintervjuer genomfördes.

Studien är en undersökning om hur olika delar av konsumentbeteendet bland applikationsanvändare ser ut. En applikation är ett program eller en tjänst som tillför en ny funktion i mobiltelefonen. Studiens syfte och problemformulering hur olika delar av konsumentbeteendet ser ut och utifrån det ta fram den typiske applikationsanvändaren. Som teoretisk referensram används en bearbetad version av Peter & Olsons (2008) Wheel of consumer analysis som vi kallar konsumenthjulet. Konsumenthjulet består av affekt och kognition, konsumenters omgivning och beteende.

[utdrag] Det är mycket svårt att vid en första anblick försöka fånga begreppet legosoldat.Hur vi än väljer att se på legosoldaten och hans verksamhet är det föga troligt att han kommer att försvinna inom den närmsta framtiden och det internationella samfundet blir således tvunget att på något sätt ta ställning till denna verksamhet.Före nationalstatens bildande tävlade andra identiteter än den nationella om företräde och att slåss i någon annans sold var inte förknippat med det landsförräderi det senare skulle komma att innebära. Från kalla krigets slut och framåt har emellertid nationalstaten kommit att utmanas av nya krafter. Globaliseringen har lett till nya forum för transnationella förbindelser och öppnat upp för grupper, organisationer och företag att sprida sig och bredda sina kontaktnät över hela världen. Kan dessa möjligheter erbjuda legosoldaten en ny marknad och nya uppdragsgivare? Om så är fallet hur kan vi hindra, eller alternativt utnyttja, en sådan situation? Om legosoldaten, i form av moderna privata företag, än en gång beträder slagfältet på order av legitima härskare, hur skall vi hantera situationen? Och vem är vi?.

Nearly 50 years after the building of the first million programme neighbourhoods many Swedish municipalities faces an extensive restoration work in these neighbourhoods which during their relatively short lifetime have acted as a target for a large amount of criticism. Öster in Gävle is a million programme neighbourhood that has gone through an extensive restoration between 2001-2009 with the aim of improving the living environment. Improvements have been made in the outdoor environment, to the facades of the houses and the entrances? of each building. The purpose of this study has been to investigate the effects of the renewal in the physical outdoor environment for those who live in the neighbourhood.

The aim of this Master's thesis is to examine how blogs are used by public libraries for marketing purposes, and how librarians who blog perceive their blog as a marketing tool. The thesis is based on a qualitative study conducted using asynchronous e-mail interviews with librarians representing eleven different library blogs. The theoretical framework and concepts are taken from marketing theory, including Kotler's marketing mix, relationship marketing, and theories on the marketing of non-profit organisations, knowledge organizations, the Internet, and blogs. Our results and analysis reveal that libraries use blogs because they are an easy tool to use, they represent a new way to inform users about the library, they are a way to improve contact with the users and a way to reach potential users. According to the librarians we interviewed, blogs can be used to market libraries in a number of different ways: by disseminating information on the library and its various media and events, by providing a forum to demonstrate the skills of the librarians, and as a way of changing the image of the library.

Syftet med denna studie var att identifiera olika metoder för att undervisa ungdomar med typ-1 diabetes och hur ungdomarna upplevde metoderna. Metod: En beskrivande litteraturstudie. Resultat: Studien visade att olika undervisningsmetoder användes och att undervisningen för ungdomarna skedde framförallt individuellt vid de regelbundna besöken på diabetesmottagningen. Gruppundervisning och undervisning med hjälp av olika tekniska hjälpmedel var andra forum för undervisning. Undervisning i grupp uppskattades av många ungdomar där de fick möjlighet att träffa andra ungdomar i samma situation.

The Swedish retail business has been characterized by a small number of ruling distributors. These distributors have been affected negatively by the internationalization which has made it possible for international distributors to establish their stores in the Swedish market. These international distributors are focused on low price stores. Their establishment on the Swedish market has led to a decrease in market shares for the Swedish distributors, which has damaged their profitability. Another change that has affected the Swedish distributors is that the behavior and needs of the customers has changed.

The democratic conditions in national states have change radically at the same time as the society has changed. Because of social and economic globalization processes, the states and government has lost power for the benefit of transnational and global institutions. That affects the democracy since the nation state earlier defined the domain of citizenship. At the same time, citizens? confidence towards political parties and politicians has gone down.

A large part of the Iranian population resented the west, in particular USA and Great Britain, during the Islamic revolution in Iran 1979. The people were also resenting the adverse effects of the trumped up frame made in Iran. The last shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was detested by many in Iran for its west-oriented regime. The resentment among many Iranians is a consequence of the violations of e.g. the lack of political and civil rights, there were no existing legal security in the society, there were no economic distribution and the regime of Mohammad Reza Shah violated the human rights.The resolution from an Iranian perspective for riot is not new, during the last centuries the abomination against the despotic kings have been existing varyingly and big riots have been raised.  The Islamic revolution in 1979 was new because the revolution added adverse effects of west, the population detested west and expressed it by protesting through demonstration.  The significance of the revolution in 1979 was also attributable to Islam.

Elevers Internetanvändning i skolan och hemmen har ökat drastiskt under det senaste decenniet. Samhällets enorma efterfrågan och påtryckning om ny teknik gör det möjligt för dagens stora IT marknad att fortsätta att utvidgas. När teknik och Internet expanderas så påverkas även skolan och dess hantering av vad som kan kännas som ett ständigt föränderligt forum av information. I detta arbete har vi gjort en kvantitativ undersökning på två skolor där vi har velat ta reda på hur våra hundra respondenter upplever och brukar referenshantering i skolan. I vår studie framkom det att internet nyttjades lika mycket oavsett våra respondenters kön.

It has been roughly 86 years since Gunnar Myrdal?s book ?The Political Element in the Development of Economic Theory? was published, in which he declared economic thought and theory as being established by hidden ideological premises. As well as accusing modern economic theory of being the subject of a pseudo-scientific construct. As such, this study seeks to test Myrdal?s critical view on Swedish economic education in upper secondary school.

This essay is part of a project between Södertörn University College and Stockholm Academic Forum. The focus of the project is gender equality in small- and medium sized companies. I have worked with a construction company called Activa . The majority of the employees at the company were male and I was interested in the consequences of gender construction in such an environment. I think that the basic condition for equality work is an understanding of gender and the male norm.
