This work of investigation was to report how four study counsellors see upon the facts regarding the amount of admission, the students social surroundings and local designs for the Individual program (IV) at upper secondary school. Through interviews with four professionals set to guide the students at four different schools in the rural districts of Boden, Luleå, Piteå and Skellefteå, this has become a paper that describes how they see these young adults today. Different handicaps and diagnosis, troubles at home, pregnancy and even drug abuse tend to make you wonder how they possibly can get through school at all. Regarding local development within the program there are no strings of what to do but for every district to deside for themselves and this has led to different ?experiments? with students not mentaly fit for school at all.

The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze how health care providers, working at care facilities providing maintenance treatment programs for opiate dependence, perceive and manage the legal framework governing the treatment. The study is limited to a few particular rules within this framework which over the recent decade have been the subject matter of debate regarding i.a. their alleged lack of relation to scientific research and their frequently disastrous implications for program participants. The empirical material consists of interviews with five respondents working at four different care facilities and has been analyzed by using Lipskys theory on street-level bureaucrats as policymaking agents. The results of the study show that the rules are looked upon and dealt with in a liberal fashion and that the primary loyalty of the maintenance treatment staff is clearly directed towards promoting the well-being of their patients and helping them reach their treatment goals rather than strictly following the rules..

This thesis analyses the literature debate in the overlooked Swedish magazine Samtid och Framtid 1944?1949. The magazine was first published at the end of World War II on the initiative of publisher Johan Hansson. After an interesting start, the terms of the debate in the magazine were changed after a power struggle on the editorial level. Thus, the magazine never became the influential arena for literary discussions that it first had potential of becoming.

Syfte med detta arbete är att skapa förståelse för gymnasieskolans utbildningsinnehåll på Hotell och Restaurangprogrammet respektive Livsmedelsprogrammet i relation till arbetslivets utveckling och utbildningsbehov. Genom en kartläggning av berörda branschers uppfattning om elevernas utbildningsbehov vill vi undersöka om det finns behov av att utveckla nytt specialutformat program med inriktning mot ?Butik och Cateringkock?. Metod Vi har genomfört en kvalitativ studie, där vi gjort intervjuer med berörda branscher. Där söker vi svar på frågan om utbildningsinnehållet på gymnasieskolans ?Hotell och Restaurang program? och ?Livsmedelsprogram? motsvarar arbetslivets utveckling och framtida krav på utbildningsbehov. Resultat Resultatet inleds med en övergripande introduktion som handlar om förändrade mattrender och livsstilar i dagens samhälle.

The present study examines power relations, textual genre and attitudes to the matching process in the labor market in the employment office?s opinion articles in the period 2009?2014.     The power relations that emerge in the debate articles between employers, job seekers and private employment constitute the study's main question.The theoretical starting points are taken from Fairclough?s critical discourse analysis (1992, 2001, and 2010), where the discursive practice consists of the employment office?s production of opinion articles during a recession. The social practice consists of the laws and regulations that make its actions to reduce unemployment in the society. The method is derived from Halliday?s (1994, 2002) systemic functional linguistics.

Allt fler riksomfattande rapporter gör gällande att svenska skolelevers hälsa har försämrats de senaste åren både avseende psykiskt och fysiskt mående. Enligt en del forskare beror detta på en allt mer inaktiv livsstil med utökad tid för stillasittande arbete samt neddragen tid för skolgymnastik. Syftet med denna epidemiologiska tvärsnittsstudie var att få kunskap om gymnasieelevers mående på praktiska och teoretiska program och för att definiera en eventuell skillnad i arbetsmiljö samt självskattad psykisk och fysisk hälsa mellan de olika programmen. Sammanlagt 87 elever från 4 olika klasser undersöktes med svarsfrekvensen 69% (60 elever). Totalt gick 40 elever på praktiskt program (bygg- och fordonstekniskt program) och 47 elever gick på teoretiskt program (samhälls- och naturvetenskapligt program).

This thesis work resulted in a template for how the thermal spray process can be controlled through robot programs. The robots today and their programs need to be replaced, therefore a new structure which can be matched with the new robot systems is needed. The work is limited to only concern structured programming on the new robots on Thermal Spray Centre (TC) with the programming language Rapid. The basic data for the program was retrieved from interviews with concerned personnel at TC, from studies on process parameters for thermal spray and from existing specifications at Volvo Aero Corporation (VAC). The thesis work briefly describes the process thermal spray and the four methods used at VAC.

The purpose of this study is to examine the view of knowledge and the view of learner which are prominent in the ministry memorandum Specific programs and access to vocational programs (U2009/5552/G) and thereby understand the potential impact of the new transformation of the current individual program and what it brings to the students who do not achieve the objectives in grade 9. We have used a qualitative text analysis method. The background to the study describes in particular today's individual program, view of knowledge and view of learner. The result shows that the most prominent in the memorandum is that knowledge is divided into theory and practice, that individualization is the focus and the text shows freedom for interpretation..

Dagens arbetsmarknad har ständigt höjt sina krav, vilket medfört att det har blivit högre krav på utbildning, särskilt till utsatta barn. Min empiriska undersökning handlar om faktorer som påverkar ungdomar att gå på gymnasieskolans individuella program. Undersökningens syfte har varit att ta reda på vilka faktorer som påverkar ungdomar att gå på individuella program och hur medvetna elever är om orsaker som har påverkat deras val att börja på IV-Tema. Mina frågeställningar är: vilka orsaker ligger bakom att elever går på individuella programmet? Vilka är elevernas individuella skäl till att gå på individuella programmet? Min undersökning är byggd på kvalitativ data och jag har gjort nio semistrukturerade intervjuer med en studie- och yrkesvägledare, en kurator och en lärarassistent samt med 6 elever på individuella programmet.

Jag har alltid haft ett intresse för att förstå olika aspekter inom religion och andlighet. Under senare år har jag även utvecklat ett intresse för att förstå så kallade ockulta fenomen. Denna uppsats tar sin utgångspunkt i TV4?s program Det Okända, 2009. Valet av programmet Det Okända blev ett naturligt val för mig då jag tidigare följt programmet under några säsonger i syfte att ta del av det utbud av ockultism som finns i massmedia, för att bredda min kunskap inom ämnet ur det perspektiv som ges i media.

Sweden. 1980. The term ?video violence? becomes public through the debates show Studio S. The show urges and obligates politicians to stop, regulate and ban video films with violent content from the market.

The aim of this thesis is to study how Denmark and the Danish people has been represented in the Swedish press and which images of them that appears. For this purpose I make use of discourse analysis and discourse theory. By analysing three cases were the debate about the Danish migration policy has been scrutinized in Swedish newspapers I seek to discover different ways of looking at the world. The study concentrates on the descriptions made by journalists and others who contribute to the debate in the media. The results show an image of the Danes as a people reluctant to foreigners and restrictive in their politics.

Denna uppsats har undersökt lärares individualiseringssträvanden i förhållande till yrkesförberedande respektive studieförberedande program på två olika gymnasieskolor. Undersökningen består av intervjuer med åtta Samhällskunskapslärare. Med hjälp av individualiseringstypologier, definierade av Monika Vinterek, kan vi utröna hur lärare individanpassar sin undervisning. Vidare har vi ställt oss frågorna om lärarna har olika individualiseringssträvanden samt om detta påverkar nivån på undervisningen i Samhällskunskap A. Resultatet visar att lärarna använder sig av olika individualiseringssträvanden samt att det görs en viss skillnad i individanpassningen beroende på vilket program som är föremål för undervisning.
