AbstraktArbetslösheten runt omkring i Sverige har växt, samtidigt som landets högskolor och universitet lockar fler sökanden. I Borås där vi har genomfört vår undersökning har antalet högskolestudenter ökat med 11 % från 2008 till 2009 och detta är den största ökningen de senaste fem åren. Trots denna ökning är studenter till lågutbildade föräldrar fortfarande underrepresenterade. Barnen påverkas av föräldrarnas sociala klasstillhörighet i sin möjlighet till framgång i utbildning. Med kapitalt, habitus och motivationsstrategier som teoretiska utgångspunkter är syftet med vår studie att få en bild av varför en grupp studenter har valt att vidareutbilda sig på högre nivå.

This report is our Master thesis. Our work has taken place at a one-stop-shop in Sölvesborg during the spring of 2002. We have conducted ethnographical studies concerning the one-stop-shops frontdesk and telephone exchange. During these studies we became aware of some differences under which the daily work was to be carried out. When operating the switchboard the staff usually work alone and perform the tasks individually.

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) meloxicam in connection with dehorning of goat kids. Six 2-3,5 weeks old dehorned kids were given daily intramuscular injections of meloxicam (0,5 mg/kg; MG) and five age-matched dehorned kids were given isotonic NaCl (NG) for 3 days. The study was randomized and double blinded. The behavior of the kids was studied one day before dehorning, on the dehorning day and three days after. Blood samples were collected each day before the treatment and analyzed for plasma concentrations of meloxicam, hematocrit, cortisol, progesterone and glucose.

Ferruform är ett företag med ungefär 600 anställda och ingår i SCANIA koncernen. Tillverkningen i Luleå är inriktad mot lastbilskomponenter som t.ex. tvärbalkar, bakaxelbryggor och andra ramkomponenter. Dessa transporteras sedan vidare till bland annat Zwolle och Södertälje för slutmontering. Detta examensarbete riktar in sig mot Ferruforms 3-press som idag förses med klippta plåtämnen. Arbetet går ut på att undersöka möjligheterna att förse den med en avhasplingsutrustning.

The public libraries in Sweden has an obligation to serve all of its citizens, but despite of this they often fail to include their LGBTQ-patrons. Since the year of 2008 RFSL (the Swedish Federation for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Rights) have arranged a specially designed certification-process based on normcritical criterias that a chosen institution should fulfill to make their work more inclusive for LGBTQ-people. Sollentuna is the first municipal in Sweden to certificate all of their libraries. This study aims to examine what the certification have meant for the public library in Sollentuna and how a normcritical view can contribute to include LGBTQ-patrons at the library. As a method we used a qualitative interview-study to get a full picture of the certification-process and its influence on the public library of Sollentuna.

In the daily work as a veterinary nurse it is essential that one provides the best possible care to the animals from the beginning to the end of the treatment.

The purpose with this study was to describe and analyse the daily activities of a criminal group in a southern suburb of Stockholm, Norra Botkyrka, and their attitude to drugs, the police, crimes in general, accomplices and their plans for the future. The study is a combination of different qualitative methods that is built on unobtrusive methods and interviews that was carried out during winter in 2006 and spring in 2007 and six interviews. My interest to carry out this study was grounded on my several years of experience as a prison and probation officer in the prison. I chose to ?live? with a group of criminals and participated in some of their social activities.The respondents that I chose to call ?anti-heroes? proudly tell me about their criminal lifestyle that characterizes of violence, drugs, crimes and conflict where this people show no regret.

Sjuksköterskeyrket präglades tidigt av kyrkans tanke om ett kall. Lönefrågan var länge tabu eftersom yrket ansågs vara ett barmhärtighetsverk. Sjuksköterskeyrket fick omgående en renodlad kvinnodominans och har fortfarande 90 % kvinnliga yrkesutövare. Vårdande har länge setts som en kvinnlig egenskap och synen på yrket har starka kopplingar till kvinnligt genus. Våren 2011 startade studenter ett medialt uppmärksammat uppror med syftet att höja ingångslönen för nyexaminerade sjuksköterskor.

Our aim with this thesis was to closer study business intelligence to be able to present an overview of both the concept and the phenomenon. We have also developed a framework that show how business intelligence can be used effectively. We think that our framework can be of help to under-stand the areas which constitutes the core of business intelligence. We think that the framework we have developed is a good basis for the im-plementation of business intelligence in an organisation and that it also can be of help in the daily business intelligence work..

Fog is a small-scale weather phenomenon that are fascinating to people. However, the presence of fog in road traffic reduces the visibility and increases the risk of road accidents. By the Swedish Road Weather Information System (VViS), the safety on roads could ameliorate and road accidents caused by fog and other weather hazards could be prevented. Fog is however a complex and usually local phenomenon, why fog formation generally is not easy to predict. For that reason, a statistical mapping of fog, especially along a motorway with high traffic volumes, could be useful in planning to prevent road accidents.

This essay presents and discusses a study that was performed in a multicultural school, where the teachers, since August 2004, have obtained internal training in how to work with language development. The objective with this essay is to investigate how the connection between language development and the development of knowledge can be understood and apprehended by teachers working in this school, and furthermore, to show how a language developing way of work can be accomplished in the teachers daily work.Moreover, I have studied which objectives and strategies, the three language developers in charge of the training of the teachers, have concerning this work, furthermore I have looked into if these objectives and strategies differ from what the teachers understand and practically perform.Pauline Gibbons book, Stärk språket, stärk lärandet (2006), has become a base for this school?s work when it comes to language development. Gibbons presents theories and practical exercises which have their origin from Vygotskij, Halliday and Cummins. Their theories have also become my theoretical base in this study.I have made qualitative interviews with four teachers working in this school, and with one of the language developers.
