TIMSS 2011 har visat att svenska elevers matematikresultat ligger under genomsnittet för EU/OECD-länderna, ett resultat som dessutom över tid försämrats mest bland deltagande länderna i studien. För att motverka denna trend la den nuvarande regeringen fram en proposition om utökad undervisningstid i matematik, en proposition som 2013 röstades igenom och resulterade i en lagändring som utökade tiden med 120 undervisningstimmar. Syftet med denna uppsats är att följa upp hur lagändringen kan komma att ge en förändring i matematikundervisningen som kan gynna elevernas kunskapsutveckling. För att studera detta har en intervjustudie genomförts där lärares tankar och erfarenheter gällande utökad undervisningstid, gynnsam matematikundervisning och vilka förändringar denna lagändring kan medföra undersöks. Dessa förändringar har sedan satts i relation till inlärningsteorier och med vad forskning menar att framgångsrik matematikundervisning är.

Introduction and research question:  This study investigates the widely discussed notion ?Corporate Social Responsibility? and its practice in the tourism industry. In the contemporary society more companies are realizing the significance of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and its potential as a means of differentiation.  The author?s interest in this particular phenomenon was awakened after reading about the business case of Scandic Hotels. This is a company that nowadays is referred to as ?Scandinavia?s leading hotel chain?.

Bachelor thesis, Degree of master in Science and Economics, School of Business and Economics at Linnaeus University, Management, 2FE01E, Spring Semester 2013Author: Johanna Björklund, Sarah Gustafsson and Sofia NicklassonMentor: Anders HytterTitle: Retention: Why stay when your options are unlimited? Background: Employee turnover is a problem today, and companies face increasing challenges when it comes to retain employees within the organization, so called employee retention. This is a present concept and theory holds that more organizations realize that they need to put more focus on retention as one of their business goals to remain competitive. It?s important that organizations understand individuals' different needs and the factors that make them satisfied in their professional life.

Background and Problem definition: Atypical employment is something that has becomeincreasingly common in recent decades, these are defined as positions where no relationship is of thetraditional type in which the employee has a long term relationship with the employer and where hecarries out his work at the premises of the employer. These atypical employments can take variousforms, it can be fixed term contracts, project work or jobs in employment agencies and so on. Thestaffing sector in Sweden has grown rapidly since the 90s, and since international research shows thatthe three-way relationship arising from the use of staffing agencies may lead to challenges in differentparts of HRM, we have chosen to study this topic.Aim: The purpose of this paper is to describe and understand how HRM is handled in atypicalemployment relationships.Method: The epistemological starting point for this work is hermeneutics, as a result of this theresearch approach is qualitative and inspired by abduction. The authors have chosen to carry out thework as a case study of three primary cases, each one consisting of an employment agency, a clientorganization and an employee. The analysis is based on the hermeneutics principles of interpretationand concentration of meaning.Results: What emerged as central to how HRM is handled are the interdependencies that existbetween the business environment and the strategies of the firm, how they affect different parts ofHRM and how participation and liminality have an impact on the three-way relationship.Keywords: HRM, atypical employment, staffing agencies, three-way relationship and strategy..

Sverige är medlem i EU, och omfattas därför av EU:s regelverk och lagstiftning när nya regler ska utformas och införlivas för medlemstater inom EU. Svenska staten antog proposition 2008/09:67 Civilrättsliga sanktioner på immaterialrättens område, även kallad Ipred. Lagen infördes i svensk lagstiftning den 1 april 2009.  Denna uppsats kommer med utgångspunkt i en ideologianalys analysera riksdagsdebatten den 25 februari 2009. För att därefter förklara partiernas positioner utifrån deras grundläggande ideologiska värderingar..

Studiens syfte ?r att belysa olika akt?rers bidrag i framtagandet av ?ndringar i skollagen (SFS 2010:800), som tr?dde i kraft den 2 juni 2023, om de specialpedagogiska yrkesrollerna och de eventuella konsekvenser som f?r?ndringarna kan komma att medf?ra. Fr?gest?llningarna lyder: Vilka akt?rer har p?verkat regeringens f?rslag till nya skrivningar om den specialpedagogiska kompetensen i elevh?lsan? Vilka sk?l till och synpunkter p? de nya skrivningarna framf?rs i propositionen? Vilka konsekvenser kan de nya formuleringarna i skollagen inneb?ra f?r de specialpedagogiska yrkesrollerna? Tidigare forskning pekar p? att de specialpedagogiska yrkesrollerna fram till nu har haft legitimitetsproblematik och att en f?rst?rkning av yrkesrollerna l?nge har varit efterfr?gad (G?ransson m.fl., 2015; Malmqvist, 2015). Framtagandet av de nya skrivningarna och deras eventuella konsekvenser f?r de specialpedagogiska yrkesrollerna belyses med en kritisk realistisk ansats, analytisk dualism och ett teoretiskt ramverk f?r skolans styrning, professioner och specialpedagogiska perspektiv.

Den 21 juli 2001 trädde Europaparlamentets och rådets direktiv, om bedömning av vissa planers och programs miljöpåverkan, i kraft. Syftet med direktivet var att säkerhetsställa en hög nivå på miljöskydd, genom att utföra miljöbedömningar på vissa planer och program som kan antas medföra en betydande miljöpåverkan. När ny lagstiftning ska implementeras brukar det vanligtvis uppkomma implementeringsproblem och det var något som jag misstänkte skulle uppkomma även i detta fall. Syftet med uppsatsen är därför att ta reda på hur arbetet har fortlöpt med att implementera de nya bestämmelserna som har haft sin upprinnelse från EU:s direktiv. Informationsflödet kring de nya bestämmelserna har också studerats.

It's not a secret that most companies strive to get such a high economic return as possible. To successfully engage in a profitable enterprise, there are many elements that come into play. An important element is the motivation of the employees and their work performance. Work motivation is a key factor for the employees to improve their performance and therefore determinant for the successes of the company.This work is a case study in the production at Fresenius Kabi, Uppsala. The work is based on an employee survey that they fill out once a year and the aim is to develop a deeper understanding for these questions and how the employees see on leadership, communication and goal-setting as motivators and how these factors works in the company today.To get this deeper understanding I have used a qualitative approach.

This thesis addresses the subject of internal communication between the leadership and the employees. Communication is a common process and according to Tufvesson (2008), the primary focus has been on the role and responsibility of the leadership. This can mean that, from the employee's point of view, it is not clear what the organization expects, and this lack of clarity dimishes the ability of the employees to live up to those expectations (ibid). Tufvesson (2008) believes that today's organizations need common interpretations, which requires a well thought out communication strategy between leadership and employees. Because communication represents an organization's functionality, the report?s authors were interested in studying the employees? representatives.

This qualitative study is aimed to explore the leaders? experiences of difficult conversations in their work. We have examined if they take on a different role during the difficult conversations and how communication can affect their leadership during the conversation. We have also examined the importance of the leaders? ability to distance themselves from the sensitive subject and situation, to maintain their role as leaders.

Change is a natural state for both people and institutions, but as the surrounding world moves faster it becomes important to quickly be able to adjust to new conditions. Customers? force of negotiation increases as the global competition grows. One factor that becomes more vital to customers is the amount of quality standard a company can offer them. Several factors are essential if a work of change will be considered a successful investment, where the change can be perceived in both a positive and negative way for an employee.

I konsumentkreditlagen (2010:1846) (KKrL) finns det bestämmelser om hur kreditprövningar ska genomföras, ändå är det just vid dessa moment som det brister. Det är inte lagstiftningen beträffande kreditprövningarna som brustit, utan snarare tillämpningen av reglerna. Bristfälligheten har uppkommit, eftersom att sanktionsmöjligheterna inte varit tillräckligt avskräckande. Därför behöver sanktionsmöjligheterna stärkas. Genom att näringsidkarna har underlåtit att följa bestämmelserna, har de sparat in arbetskraft, tid samt ökat sin omsättning.

Utifrån grundskolans nya kursplan i ämnet svenska studeras i denna uppsats skolreformen 2011. Genom att textanalytiskt jämföra kursplanen i svenska i Lgr11 med dess motsvarighet i lpo94 läggs i första hand fokus på vad som reformertas och reviderats i de två läroplanerna med syftet att undersöka om Lgr11 möter regeringens proposition (2008/09:87), vilken låg till grund för skolreformen 2011.I resultatet framgår att Lgr11 möter regeringens önskemål i propposition 2008/09:87 Tydligare mål och kunskapskrav - nya läroplaner för skolan..

AbstractThis qualitative study has been made to examine which factors that are required to create a work place that can be associated with loyal co-workers. The study covers half structured interviews with nine people on different levels and with different positions, within a manufacturing company in Värmland. Our ambition with this study is to find out if, and if so, in what way the view on loyalty and which factors that are required to encourage loyalty, differ depending on witch level one belongs to in the organization. Our thesis is that our respondents will have various ways of expressing the term loyalty, and that these various ways are linked to the different levels that each employee is currently stationed at.The result of this study shows that the way people look at loyalty, and what loyalty is really about, does not differ that much among our respondents, regardless of their level. The factors that, according to the respondents, are important if one wants to create a work place that can be associated with loyal co-workers are: to be able to feel trust towards and have faith in those one works with, as well as the company and the way things are being run, to be able to experience the feeling of community, and that one is happy with ones work place, as well as ones co-workers.

It can be difficult for young people to find their first job; a solution to this problem may bethrough temporary work at a staffing agency to gain their first experience. As temporary workers,individuals are often forced to frequently change their jobs, which require that the company'sprocesses for introduction are able to transfer the needed knowledge and the temporal employee´s capacity to quickly learn a new role. Knowledge management and knowledge transfer areimportant aspects to most organizations, but how are these aspects used when introducing temporarystaffing personnel to new work? The purpose of the study is to identify the process oftemporary staffing to identify possible suggestions for improvement based on principles ofknowledge transfer. The research question "How can the transfer of knowledge be developed forthe introduction of new staffing personnel?" is divided into sub questions;? ?How is the processto hire temporary staff performed??, ?What problems can occur in the process of introduction ofnew temporal staff?? and ?How can ICT be used to support the introduction of temporal staff??.The theoretical framework is based around theories of the context in which the knowledge transferred,what type of knowledge is to be transferred, the channels that are possible to use to transferknowledge through, employees function as channels to transfer knowledge with a special emphasison the role of the mentor, and the transferee's own motivation and the capacity to receivethe knowledge that is being transferred.To understand the process of hiring temporal staff, a survey was performed using open-ended interviewswith consultants at employment agencies, and with the support of the frameworkDELTA Meta Architecture.
