Increasing innovation and entrepreneurship has been identified as a key target for sustained growth and welfare, both in Sweden and abroad. Therefore, many countries have recognized the need to equip students with entrepreneurship education and to integrate skills associated with entrepreneurship into the various curricula.To shed light on entrepreneurship education within business curricula, a case study focusing on the first two years of the Bachelor program at the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE) was conducted. The study was based on interviews with students, alumni and scholars with a background of entrepreneurship. Insights from respondents were compared with leading research on entrepreneurship education, to evaluate the program's approach.Primary findings from the qualitative analysis showed an overall lack of entrepreneurship education in the early stages of the program. Entrepreneurial "know-how" knowledge was an insufficient component of the SSE program and a barrier for why more students did not pursue a career in entrepreneurship.

The purpose with this essay is to study how students in elementary school are placed within the subject called ?svenska som andrasspråk?, or SVA.

Uppmärksamhet/övervakning (monitoring) är en viktig komponent vid utvecklandet och vidmakthållandet av insomni. Genom medveten närvaro (MN) kan förmågan att rikta uppmärksamheten tränas upp. Syftet med studien var att undersöka effekten av MN och beteendeterapi (BT) vid behandling av primär insomni hos personer med hög uppmärksamhet/övervakning av sömnrelaterade stimuli. Behandlingens effekt på sömn och uppmärksamhet samt en eventuell sekundär effekt på oro och ruminering undersöktes.

Målet med examensarbetet är att utveckla en marknadsplatsapplikation för Android. Marknadsplatsapplikationen ska tillhandahålla funktioner för att ge användaren förutsättningar att hitta och ladda ner applikationer över Internet ifrån marknadsplatsens serversida. Marknadsplatsapplikationen kommer likt en tunn klient vara helt beroende av innehåll från en serversida. Vid examensarbetets utförande existerade dock ingen serversida då denna ännu inte var färdigutvecklad.För att utveckla marknadsplatsapplikationen utan närvaron av en serversida, implementerades en emulerad serversida som utåt sett hade funktionaliteten av en framtida serversida. En mjukvaruarkitektur implementerades bestående av tre lager: användargränsnitt (GUI), kärnfunktionalitet (Core) och webbkommunikation (WebCom).
