SammandragSyftet med mitt arbete är att jämföra hur bokstavsinlärning kan se ut i en Montessori förskoleklass, Reggio Emilia-inspirerad förskoleklass samt en årskurs etta i en kommunal skola. Jag vill ta reda på om det finns tydliga likheter/skillnader mellan de olika verksamheterna och hur det påverkar barnets fortsatta läs- och skrivinlärning. Jag har utfört 15-minuters observationer i de tre olika verksamheterna för att själv vara med och uppleva miljön samt se hur olika inlärningstillfällena kan se ut. För att komplettera observationerna skickade jag även ett mail med intervjufrågor till de tre lärarna/förskollärarna som de svarade på och sedan skickade tillbaka till mig. Genom detta fick jag bland annat svar på varför de jobbar som de gör, vilket synsätt som låg till grunden för undervisningen samt hur de tror att barn lär sig bokstäver bäst. Mitt resultat visar att lärarna/förskollärarna jobbar på olika sätt med bokstavsinlärning.

Introduktion: Torra ögon är idag ett stort problem i vårt samhälle. För att kunna identifiera orsaken till varför en patient lider av ögontorrhet kan man använda sig av diagnostiska metoder. Man kan använda sig av kvalitativa metoder, kvantitativa metoder och symptomenkäter.Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att ta reda på vilka metoder som optikerna använder sig av vid utvärdering av ögontorrhet och om de tar sig tid till att utvärdera samt om de lämnar ut tårsubstitut baserat på vad de tycker är bäst för patienten eller utefter vad de kommit fram till vid undersökning.Metod: En webbenkät skickades ut till Optikerförbundets samtliga 1650 medlemmar. Publiceringen skedde med hjälp av det nätbaserade enkätprogrammet Google Docs via en länk som sändes ut i ett mail. De fick svara på frågor som handlade om de metoder som finns för utvärdering av ögontorrhet och vilken metod som just de använder sig av.Resultat: 97 optiker besvarade enkäten varav 87 % av dessa utvärderar ögontorrhet.

When constructing a building, a number of aspects must be harmonized in order for it to fulfill requirements ? a building must fulfill requirements such a load-bearing, conservation of energy and a good indoor environment by means of, among other things, moisture proofing .Moisture problems in buildings can affect health negatively. As we are increasingly staying in indoors, demands on a good indoor environment are higher.This work starts with examining moisture problems in slab-on-ground solutions, and then links the various scenarios to moisture problems in a concrete slab of a real building. The building with moisture problems is located in Årby by in Borlänge and moisture damage was found in the slab at an apartment adjoining wall.By reviewing literature written within the field of moisture problem, making hand calculations and modeling in the program Comsol Multiphysics, judgments are made to find explanations as to why the rise of moisture occurred in the building in Årby by.Generally, the following guidelines may be used to reduce the risk of moisture problems in slab-on-ground constructions:Drying of construction moisture before laying the floor material.Using draining layer beneath the slab, to prevent capillary suction.Using insulation under the slab, partly for comfort and to establish the temperature difference between the ground and the concrete slab.Avoid direct contact between the wood and concrete, due to degradation and fouling smells that normally occurs.If necessary, use additional vapor barrier.In addition to the above, there are various methods for moisture-proof and moisture-monitoring by design or by the method ByggaF suited for the entire construction process various events..

Objective: In recent years there has been an increasing interest within the clinical (medical) science in measuring people?s health. When estimating quality of life, present practise is to use the EQ-5D questionnaire and an index which weighs the different questions. The question is what happens if the individuals estimate there own health, would it differ from the public preferences? The aim is to make a new prediction model based on the opinion of patients and compare it to the present model based on public preferences.Method: A sample of 362 patients with unstable coronary artery disease from the Frisc II trial, valued their quality of life in the acute phase and after 3, 6 and 12 months.

The Gift 2.0 - A Museological Study of donations of Objects and its Underlying Motives, is a study in order to explain why people choose to donate items for museums, rather than any other alternative.The empirical study consists of qualitative, semi-structured research-interviews conducted with seven selected curators from various museums, with extensive experience of the subject acquisition. I have chosen to only examine Swedish cultural-historical museums. The hypothesis that I assumed was first and foremost that the heritage sphere is what Pierre Bourdieu calls a field. The reason that people would donate objects to museums, is that the donation itself brings cultural capital to the donor, from people with the same habitus. Since I felt that Bourdieus theory of field, capital and habitus could not explain all the reason why people donate items to museum, my second hypotheses was that certain objects are what Annette Weiner called inalienable possessions, objects that at any cost may not be sold or bartered away.

BackgroundWorld Alliance for Patient Safety, launched by the WHO, has created a Surgical Safety Checklist. It was first published in 2008 and has been translated and modified in Sweden by Landstingens Ömsesidiga Försäkringsbolag, LÖF. The use of the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist has been shown to reduce the number of complications and deaths related to surgery.AimThe aim of this study is to describe the Theatre Nurse?s participation in in the use of a modified version of the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist intraoperatively in two Theatres in a hospital in the centre of Sweden.MethodThis study has a quantitative descriptive approach. A direct observational study was carried out in two Theatres and the participants were asked a few complementary questions after the observations.

The aim with the present study was to investigate whether there is a difference between the course participants who find their way to the dog-school respective the Swedish Working Dog Association. The study have focused on four issues; why the course participants have chosen the dog-school respectively the Swedish Working Dog Association, why the participants bought their dog, if the participants are satisfied with their dogs and if it is more likely that they turn to the dog-school?s than to the Swedish Working Dog Association with their first dog? Course participants from two dog-schools and from two of the local clubs belonging to the Swedish Working Dog Association in Skaraborg, Sweden, answered a questionnaire. In total 85 answers were collected, including 60 from the course participants from Swedish Working Dog Associations and 25 from the dog school?s course.

Marketing of education is a phenomenon which has been developed throughout the increasing competition within the educational sector. The focus of this paper is the marketing made by upper secondary schools (grade 10-12) in Stockholm. The competition in this area is increasing partly due to the growing number of private schools. However, this is a phenomenon seen only in larger cities with several schools available. There are over 170 upper secondary schools in Stockholm and the students freely can choose among these.

The world's natural resources are constantly being reduced, which increases the pressure on companies to actively engage themselves in environmental activities. Meanwhile, stakeholders focus is being broadened and it is now important not only to supply a particular product or service but also show that they are actively pursuing an environmental agenda. Companies can use various tools to aid in environmental efforts, but also to demonstrate to the world that the company is actively engaged in environmental activities. One such tool is the environmental standard ISO14001 which provides the company with guidance and support on how the business must manage its environmental efforts. To show a business' progress in environmental performance, it is advantageous to use environmental performance indicators as they enable stakeholders to easily understand how the business works with environmental issues.Authors in the field explain that the environmental management system propagation is limited in service organizations.

There are two main reasons for why companies engage in sponsoring and Event Marketing; affecting the brand awareness and/or the image of the brand. Historically the main focus within the research field has been on how sponsoring and Event Marketing can create and achieve high brand awareness. More research regarding the image transfer from event to brand has been requested and this study is to be considered as an attempt to begin filling this gap. Today we see more and more brands choosing to arrange their own events; hoping to attain a more direct connection between the event and the brand. This trend raises questions such as - Do brands arranging their own events receive more image transfer from event to brand compared to brands sponsoring the same kind of event? - Are there any differences between an established well-known brand and a new unknown brand? - Will an event fully owned by a brand attract more or less people than an event arranged by someone considered to be less biased? These are some of the questions asked and answered within this thesis.

For over 40 years, there's been a debate in Sweden of whether it's good or bad with maintenance therapy for heroin addicts. This method is far more acknowledged in other parts of Europe and in USA. The aim of this paper was to explore how public actors manifest their thoughts concerning the subject of the substitution program in Sweden. This approach includes the complex of problems that can be found in statements and the discourses that these operators stand for and support. In my analysis the philosophical thread was principally based on Michael Foucault ideas, but also on other theories related to social constructionism.

Vi vill med den här uppsatsen, ge läsaren en grundläggande information om det balanserade styrkortet, samt hur de använder sig av modellen på Södra Älvsborgs Sjukhus.Det balanserade styrkortet lanserades i USA 1992 som svar på kritik mot traditionell ekonomistyrning. Styrkortet utgår från företags affärsidé och beskriver verksamheten utifrån flera mått än de traditionella finansiella måtten. Med utgångspunkt att teori oftast skiljer sig från verkligheten och eftersom praktiken är specificerat och skräddarsytt för just en verksamhet, medför det här till vårt intresse att studera det balanserade styrkortet.Intreset är att undersöka styrkortet som finns på SÄS, Södra Älvsborgs Sjukhus. Det vi frågade oss var vilket syfte BSC har på SÄS? Syfte med uppsatsen är att öka förståelsen för det balanserade styrkortet, men också hur man använder styrmodellen på sjukhuset.I den här uppsatsen har vi antagit det hermeneutiska synsättet för att kunna skapa utrymme för djupare förståelse.

The conservation of great apes faces many challenges, one of which is the threat of infectious disease outbreaks. Zoonotic transmission of respiratory diseases from humans to wild great apes has recently been confirmed. Since respiratory disease is one of the major causes of death in both gorillas and chimpanzees, this gives reason for major concern. Little is known about the risks of disease transmission from humans to great apes in natural environments, and there is a need for systematic risk evaluation. Researchers, conservation staff and tourists spend time in very close proximity of wild great apes, sometimes during long time periods, which poses a potential risk of disease spillover. However, the presence of researchers and tourists has been shown to decrease the risk of poaching, making the matter increasingly complex.
