Our essay is about children's exercise of power, oppression or domination in games or when playing on school grounds with one and other. We thought it would be interesting to look into how children in preschool and up to the fifth grade use power acts respective power plays in leisure-time. During four days we visited two different after-school center and carried out observations of children during the school day and later inside the recreation centers during leisure activities. In order to analyze our empirical material in relation to power, we have used Magnus Hörnqvist (2012) interpretation of Michel Foucault's theory of power - Another Foucault. We have also used Åsa Bartholdsson (2008) thesis about The regular exercise of power regime ? about normality and power in school.

This thesis treats the normative power of the European Union and its affect on Macedonia. The main purpose has been to look closer with the use of the application of Ian Manners theory of normative power on the Macedonian case. The focus will be to answer the following questions: Does the European Union act as a normative power in relation to Macedonia, if so, how are these values diffused? Has there been any effect of the spreading of these values? Based on six interviews and the available material of European Union strategies for the Macedonian membership I have attempted to understand to what extent the European Union?s normative power has had an influence in Macedonia. The result of my analysis is confirmation of the European Union as a normative power in Macedonia and the understanding of the methods of application..

In autumn 2010, the Division of Civil Engineering at the Swedish building contractorPEAB made a campaign to increase the number of reported incidents. Informationwas sent to the branch manager who was responsible to enlighten the employees onthe establishment. The goal of PEAB Division of Civil Engineering is to have at least 10reported incidents per accident that generate more than 8 hours absence. Therefore,it is important that the employees understand how the report system for incidentsworks. The number of reported incidents differs between regions.

Intranets has been marketing as the tool for solving the organisations information problems. My interest is to see how an intranet works in an organisation. This study was an investigation about the use of EkaForum, the intranet of Eka Chemicals, at the Rollsbo division. The study aimed to evaluate how EkaForum is being used, firstly as a transmitter of information and secondly as a communication tool for the organisation. The study was constructed as a quantity survey based on a questionnaire with 24 questions and was sent out to the staff of Rollsbo division.

Syftet med mitt examensarbete var att få mer kunskap om konkreta material som behandlar multiplikation och division. För att få veta vilka konkreta material som finns att tillgå gjorde jag intervjuer med två lärare som fick beskriva vilka material de använder sig av. Jag valde att observera två elever enskilt då de löste de multiplikations- och divisionsproblem som jag hade designat för studien. Det jag fick ut av undersökning var att det finns många olika material som elever kan arbeta med samt att det är viktigt att de får möjligheten att arbeta med dessa material. Jag kom fram till att lärare bör vara medveten om i vilket område som materialet är bäst tillämpad och att elever behöver använda sig av konkreta material för att lättare förstå uppgiften.

With background in the rapidly growing need to find solutions for sustainable energy production and the increasing interest for wind power, this report was written. With take-off point from the wind power plant Big Glenn, which has been built in the harbour of Gothenburg, a model of the adjacent power grid has been created in Simulink/SimPowerSystems. Parameters for the power grid and its components has been provided by Göteborg Energi Nät, that has also been the supplier of measurement data of produced power, the power need from loads in the vicinity, voltage levels, current values and also the variation of power factor at the wind power plant.The SimPowerSystems model has been used to perform simulations of power flow in the grid. These simulated values have then been compared to the measured values to verify the functionality of the model. Further, the model has been used to perform simulations of a grid fault, which causes a voltage drop.

Media can?t decide how people should vote in a election, but they can influence what citizens think and talk about by having the power to choose which information that shows on the agenda.Key Words: Dagens Nyheter, Agenda setting, Media, Power and Democracy..

The technological legacy from the early electrification of the Swedish railroads has resulted in a power grid with a lower grid frequency than the national power grid from which it is fed. Energy transfer between these power grids with different frequencies requires substations, adapting the grid frequency for the rail road power grid. For this purpose, a feeding power grid has been built, stretching across the country from Boden in the north to Tälle/Häggvik in the south.Power transfer in the Swedish power grid results in voltage angle differences which increase with increasing loads and transfer distance. These voltage angle differences are transferred from the power feeding substations to the rail road power grid, will in some extent cause loss of energy due to unwanted power flows from north to south.To minimize the losses due to this phenomenon, a power management system called EFS 132 kV has been developed and implemented. The system minimizes the unwanted power flows and controls the desired power flow for a good distribution of loads between the power feeding substations.This thesis investigates the extent of the transmission losses avoided due to the EFS 132 kV that coordinates the idling angles to a common reference point.The results indicate that EFS 132 kV affects the power flow, especially between the northern substations through an improved load distribution.

Tidigare forskning har uppmärksammat elevers svårigheter med bråk samt bråkräkning och omfattande felanalyser har gjorts. Dock beskriver inte dessa felanalyser bakgrunden till elevernas strategival eller de slutsatser som dragits vid uppgiftslösning. Utifrån detta är syftet med den här uppsatsen att studera de resonemang som elever för när de löser uppgifter som innefattar division av bråk. Vilka argument grundar sig val av strategi på samt de lösningar som nås? Är argumenten förankrade i bråkens inre matematiska egenskaper? Den metod som använts är kvalitativ där tre videoobservationer har gjorts av elever när de, under en labbsituation, enskilt löst uppgifter som innefattat division av bråk.

Orust Kretsloppsakademi is a nonprofit organisation, with a goal of annually generate the same amount of electrical energy that is consumed. Orust is an island on the west coast of Sweden, north of Gothenburg. The population of 15 000 reaches 40 000 during summer, due to the large amount of vacationer. The total electricity demand is 174 GWh a year with a maximum power need of 32 MW. This report presents an analysis for the plausibility of their plan and from a power system stability perspective, the effects on the electrical grid.The conclusion is that the restraints for development of power generation from wind, solar and wave generation, are the power systems capability to transfer power, primarily in the transformers of the grid.

Vårt syfte med det här arbetet var att undersöka hur förskolebarn agerar när de ställs inför två matematiska problem innehållande division/delning. Vilka lösningsstrategier använder de för att lösa givna problem? Vi valde att genomföra en fallstudie på den förskola där vi alla tre arbetar, och metoden vi använde oss av var deltagande observation, samt videofilmning. I studien ingick nio stycken femåringar. När vi transkriberade videoinspelningen såg vi att barnen använde sig av de olika lösningsstrategierna som vi tog upp i den teoretiska bakgrunden, i olika utsträckning.

En regel med både fram- och baksidor är en studie med syftet att belysa och analysera hur utbildningsersättningen utifrån föreningarnas perspektiv påverkar svensk herrfotboll på division 1 och 2-nivå. I studien så har det gjorts tio semistrukturerade intervjuer med sportchefer eller herrfotbollsansvariga i division 1 och 2-föreningar för att komma fram till studiens resultat och analys. Utbildningsersättningen är en kompensation som ska utgå till föreningar som har utbildat en spelare mellan 12 och 21 års ålder. Utbildningsersättningen betalas till dessa föreningar när spelaren skriver sitt första professionella kontrakt. Utbildningsersättning betalas också när spelaren skriver kontrakt med nya föreningar fram till och med det år han fyller 23 år.Resultatet av studien visar att föreningarna tycker att utbildningsersättningen ska kompensera de föreningar som tar fram talanger.

Syfte med vårt examensarbete är att studera elevernas prestationer inom division för att se om det finns några samband mellan elevernas talradsfärdigheter och de benämnda uppgifternas kontext som kan ha betydelse för elevernas prestationer inom divisionen. För att besvara våra frågeställningar och även nå vårt syfte valde vi att använda oss av elevprover och ett muntligt prov som datainsamlingsmetoder. Vi kan endast påvisa tendenser då vår studie är relativt liten och därför inte går att generalisera. Resultaten visar dock tendenser till att goda talradsfärdigheter är till fördel i mötet med division och att en kontext kan stötta de elever som inte har samma goda talradsfärdigheter till att ändå nå framgångar inom divisionen..

Today?s wind power plants are only compensated for their reactive power consumption at no-load. As the wind power plants grow bigger the amount of reactive power they need also increases. This is no longer a problem that can be ignored, especially as the net owners are beginning to charge the reactive power they transport.In this thesis a couple of different methods of compensation and their prices will be discussed and evaluated. Problems, such as self-excitation, that can occur if one fully compensates the wind power plant will also be brought to surface.
