The purpose of this study is to illustrate how three schools work with special education needs, what they consider is special education needs and what measures they put in for the student to achieve the goals. I will also study how the evaluation and the follow-up of the individualized education program work at the schools.The empirical material consists of all active programs in grades 7, 8 and 9, together with and interviews with special education teachers and the principal at each school. The results are compared with similar previous researches and analysed by two dominant perspectives of school difficulties.The result shows that it is mainly the critical perspective that dominates the individualized education program. The student is the carrier of the problem and is excluded in many cases from the other students in the class. These measures are different compensatory accommodations for the student in order to catch up with other students..

Det huvudsakliga syftet med föreliggande uppsats är att undersöka huruvida gymnasieelevers studievanor, studieteknik och studiemiljö skiljer sig åt beroende på vilket program de läser. I huvudsak har en kvantitativ metod, enkäten, använts. Denna består av två delar, varav den första handlar om vad som enligt eleverna är viktigt för att nå bra resultat med studierna, och den andra om hur de går tillväga när de studerar. I efterhand har vi dock insett att vi även använt oss av en kompletterande metod, nämligen de observationer som gjordes vid tillfällena då enkäterna ifylldes. 65 elever ifrån fyra olika gymnasieprogram, NV, SP, OP och HR har deltagit i undersökningen.

ABSTRACT This study consists of a comparison between a public and a private organization that works with people with mental unhealth. The first organization is an authority that conducts investigations to determine if their clients are qualified to receive some sort of help in their daily lives as a part of the Swedish welfare system. The private organization works with offering different kinds of daily activities for people with mental unhealth as a work-training program or to help them create a daily routine in their lives. Our purpose with this paper is to compare the work of the two different organizations based on their organizational framework to see what similarities and differences there are in their work and their chosen approach in meetings with their clients. Our chosen method is that of semi-structured qualitative interviews with three different employees in each organization.

Morgon-tv är ett fenomen som dök upp i Sverige för första gången 1992. Det är ett format som ramar in morgonens nyheter och barnprogram med debatter, intervjuer och featurematerial i soffmiljö. Det finns två huvudsakliga morgonprogram i Sverige, Nyhetsmorgon på TV4 och Gomorron Sverige på SVT. Syftet med den här studien är att utforska tittarens tankar och funderingar kring morgon-tv i Sverige, det vill säga på vilket sätt tittaren använder sig utav det och hur de båda morgonprogrammen uppfattas av tittarna. Grunden till studien är våra egna tankar kring varför vi har två snarlika morgon-tv program i Sverige och hur de profilerar sig gentemot varandra.

This quantitative study, with qualitative elements, intended to investigate the empathic ability among students and its change during social work education in Sweden. The study used a self-assessment form in the form of a questionnaire sent out to 8 of the 15 universities around the country. Respondents who participated in the survey studied in semester 1 & 2 and semester 6 & 7. The instrument which were used, measure the empathy level of the respondents and was a Swedish translation of the instrument, the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) which is a proven self-assessment form. IRI consists of 28 questions divided into 4 areas (subscales), which together provide a score, where a higher score corresponds to a greater capacity for empathy.

During an endurance riding competition the onset of metabolic disorders leading up to elimination from the race are common. As many as 8,7 % of the horses participating in international endurance riding competitions are eliminated due to metabolic causes such as tachycardia, absence of borborygmi, hyperthermia and dehydration. To prevent the onset of metabolic disorders in the horse the rider must be able to determine the physiological and physical status of his or her horse. This requires good knowledge in nutrition, physiology and performance training. The risk of developing metabolic problems is reduced through the right feeding management and training.

Denna uppsats behandlar i första hand elever som är frånvarande från lektionerna i idrott och hälsa samt vilka anledningar de anger till att vara det. Vi har varit ute i sammanlagt sex klasser på yrkesförberedande program på två olika skolor där eleverna läser idrott och hälsa 1. Syftet var att utifrån ett motivationsperspektiv få klarhet i varför vissa elever är frånvarande från ämnet. Vi ville även belysa vad eleverna skulle vilja förändra i ämnet idrott och hälsa för att minska frånvaron, vilket har gett oss en inblick i vad de är nöjda/ missnöjda med. Resultatet visar att elever anger en viss anledning till varför de är frånvarande vid olika tillfällen och en helt annan till varför de tror andra elever inte är med på lektionerna i idrott och hälsa.

Den här rapporten behandlar ett kandidatarbete som utfördes mot Institutionen för ekonomisk och industriell utveckling.

Moderniseringen gjordes genom att skapa programmet Humble, vars funktionalitet bygger på MODEST.I den här rapporten beskrivs hur program kan utvecklas för att de ska vara enkla att använda, samt hur de kan konstrueras för att möjliggöra vidareutveckling. Dessa aspekter framställdes av kunden som viktiga i projektet.Gruppens tillvägagångssätt för att utveckla programmet förklaras och en överskådlig bild över den arkitektur som använts ges. De erfarenheter som gruppen förskaffat sig under projektet beskrivs och reflekteras över.

The purpose of this study is to examine how well the teaching of physical education meets the needs of a future life in the building and construction industry. In order to answer the survey's purpose, we have carried interviews with teachers for the subject Physical education and health as well as with teachers for the Building- and construction program in order to through their experience gain understanding of common health problems in the profession, but also to gain a deeper understanding of the importance of the subject Physical education and health for this profession. We have reported and described previous research and then analyzed it during our processing of collected data material. The result of the interviews showed that the teachers as far as possible are trying to adjust the lessons to suit this practical program. They also indicate several aspects to consider in order to further customize the education for students in the Building- and construction program.

Tv och radio behöver ständigt utvecklas och hitta nya vägar att producera program på. I denna uppsats tas just ett sådant förslag fram på hur en utveckling skulle kunna se ut. Så kallade ?dubbelsända? program, att sända samma innehåll i två format samtidigt finns idag i en liten skara. Framförallt handlar det då om direktsända musiktävlingar eller olika morgonshower, men det har inte tidigare producerats någon talkshow där formatet för tv och radio är detsamma.

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka vilka likheter och skillnader i undervisningen som finns mellan en grundsärskoleklass och en grundskoleklass. Undersökningens metod är strukturerade observationer genomförda av två observatörer i en grundskoleklass och i en särskoleklass på samma skola. Olika aspekter av undervisningen observerades, av vilka några kan anses utgöra förutsättningar för en inkluderande undervisning. Dessa är: samarbete mellan pedagoger i undervisningen, ledarskapsmodeller, cooperativt lärande (samarbetsinlärning), dynamisk pedagogik samt samarbete mellan pedagoger i problemlösande undervisning. Resultatet visar på likhet mellan de båda skolformerna beträffande användandet av en organismisk modell med ett demokratiskt ledarskap, där grundsärskolans pedagoger endast använder det aningen mer frekvent än grundskolans pedagoger.
