Syftet med min uppsats är att beskriva effekterna av att det införs en skattereduktion på hushållsnära tjänster. I uppsatsen har det använts både teori och empiri för att försöka att beskriva en enskild händelse. Jag försöker att beskriva vad effekterna blir nationellt, om det är skillnader i olika regioner samt vilken målgrupp som berörs av skattereduktionen. För att kunna göra det på bästa sätt var det nödvändigt att använda sig av både kvantitativ och kvalitativ metod. Användningen av primärdata och sekundärdata har krävts för att kunna ge en heltäckande bild över effekterna av skattereduktionen.

The thesis is based on theories of human-computer interaction, information architecture, pedagogy and a checklist. The checklist is derived from established international guidelines from W3C, which has been adapted to, and is used by Swedish public authorities to achieve the mission of a ?24-hour authority?.

Denna studie inriktar sig mot läsförståelseundervisning och vikten av att förstå läst text. Studiens syfte är att undersöka lärarnas uppfattning om hur undervisning i läsförståelse bedrivs i grundskolan respektive grundsärskolan. Genom att använda den deskriptiva aspekten på intervjuer försöker vi påvisa både fakta och mening utifrån respondenternas svar. Vi har använt oss av @ografi som undersökningsmetod. Detta innebär att insamling av rådata sker genom intervjuer via mail. Svenska elevers läsförståelse har försämrats det senast decenniet vilket framkommer i den internationella undersökningen PISA 2009.

I detta arbete undersökte jag om högstadiespråklärare och SFI- lärare på Komvux ansåg sig bli påverkade av elevernas ålder och motivation, samt lektionstiden när de valde undervisningsspråk. Jag bad dem uppskatta hur mycket tid de undervisar på målspråket (det språk eleverna ska lära sig), samt undersökte varför de valde det undervisningsspråket. Jag intervjuade också en metodiklektor.Jag samlade in information från de berörda respondenterna genom ett frågeformulär via mail, och sedan fördjupade jag det inkomna resultatet med semi- strukturerade intervjuer.Resultatet visade att högstadiespråklärare använde elevernas modersmål till stor del i undervisningen. De trodde inte att ålder eller tid hade en avgörande roll vid deras val av undervisningsspråk, men de var överens om att motivationen påverkade dem. SFI- lärarna på Komvux använde till nära hundra procent målspråket i sin undervisning.

Title: Pricing of IPO:s on the Swedish stock market Authors: Mikael Gustavsson Martin Kvist Henrik Wannberg Tutor: Anders Hederstierna Problem: There are certain sets of problems for underwriters when they are pricing potential stock-exchange companies. The problem partly consists of estimating the demand at an IPO and also to accurately value the business in comparison to the market. To set the price per share is problematic, since the company carrying out the public offering wants to optimise the amount of capital at the same time as they want the share to be subscribed in full. If the IPO would not be carried out, it could cause harm to the position of the underwriters. Purpose: To investigate whether underpricing exists associated with IPO:s on the Swedish market during the period 1995-1999.
