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.

One of the distinguishing features of successful societies is the ability to adapt to change, bothsocial but also natural changes like climate change. Climate change is a complex, dynamic,non-linear process with a great deal of uncertainty concerning the time perspective, risks andconsequences. A combination of factors like climate change, geographical vulnerability, adensely populated and highly built up coast line along with factors like deficient handling ofsurface runoff and a large usage of ground water leads to an increasingly vulnerable society. Italso puts a greater pressure on the society to have preventive measures in place.The number of actors working with preparing society to the expected impacts of climatechange and variability is increasing. However more than half of Sweden?s municipalities donot consider changing climatic conditions when planning, and many times even allow theconstruction of new living areas in known climatically vulnerable areas.

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.
