Mer precist vill vi undersöka om socialsekreterarna upplever några hinder i arbetet för att utföra sina uppgifter på ett sätt som de anser är moraliskt rätt, hur man i så fall reagerar på dem och vilka strategier man använder för att hantera detta. Vidare är vi intresserade av att undersöka om det finns några mönster mellan hinder, moralisk stress och strategier.Vi har använt en kvalitativ forskningsmetod. Detta genom att vi har intervjuat nio socialsekreterare som har utredningsansvar i barn- och ungdomsgruppen, socialkontor väster i Örebro.

This thesis is an investigation of Iranian immigrants and their use of libraries in Sweden. It isbased on a combination of a qualitative and a·quantitative method.Using a qualitative method, I give an outline of the history of lran from ancient times up to the present, as well as the different ethnological groups in Iran and their cultures. The main objective of this part is to clarify the contrasts between Iranian and Swedish cultural, social, linguistic and family structures, and also the characteristics of the crisis that most immigrants go through on their arrival in the new country. The qualitative method also involves structured telephone interviews with eight highly educated Iranians.This method was supplemented by a quantitative study through questionnaires of the attitudes· of lranian immigrants to libraries and reading. Iranians in Sweden turned out to be frequent Iibrary users.

This paper investigates the possibilities to construct automatized portfolios based on optimizations strategies that could outperform comparable indexes. The study is based on time-series of Swedish stocks dating from 1986 to 2006. In the research four different portfolio optimization techniques were studied. These were: the Classical Markowitz Approach, Mean-Absolute-Deviation, Minimum-Regret and Conditional Value-at-Risk of which the three latter are based on generated scenarios. The behaviour of these models was studied for different choices of parameters such as backward time-horizon and targeted average return.

Vårt syfte med uppsatsen är att undersöka om det empiriskt går att påvisa lönsamhet i det nya pensionssystemet dvs. premiepensionen. Med andra ord vill vi undersöka lönsamheten med ett aktivt pensionssparande enligt ekonomisk vedertagen teori. Undersökningsdata omfattar samtliga 854 pensionsfonder som funnits från starten 2000-11-02 till 2004-12-30. Vi har utifrån historisk data tagit fram den lägsta variansfonden för att använda den som riskfri fond i Sharpekvoten.

Bakgrund: Utvecklingsländernas obligationsmarknad har under de senaste fem åren genererat en avkastning i nivå med aktier. Detta faktum kombinerat bristen på tidigare forskning inom detta område har gjort det intressant att undersöka utvecklingsländernas obligationsmarknad närmare. Syfte: Syftet är att analysera effektiviteten på utvecklingsländernas obligationsmarknad. Genomförande: Med hjälp av informationskvoten och Treynorkvoten undersöks om någon av de tre fonderna i urvalet genererat systematisk överavkastning jämfört med marknadsindexet JP Morgan Emerging Market Constrained Index. Ett signifikanstest på 5 % görs för att utreda om avkastningen är skild från 0.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att studera hur lärare belyser och arbetar med begreppet hållbar utveckling i de samhälls- respektive de naturorienterade ämnena i grundskolans senare år. I undersökningen har kvalitativa intervjuer används där de medverkande lärarna har fört fram sina tankar kring hållbar utveckling. Resultaten har givit en uppfattning om att undervisningen kring hållbar utveckling sker omedvetet trots att läro- samt kursplaner innehåller begreppet. De dimensioner som hållbar utveckling innefattar är uppdelade mellan SO- och NO-blocken vilket medför till en ökad klyfta ämnesblocken emellan..

Syftet med denna undersökningen är att med hjälp av kritisk textanalys, tidigare forskning och moralpsykologiska teorier undersöka hur begreppen etik och moral används av läroplanens värdegrund, de övergripande målen och kursplanen för religionskunskap och vidare se hur detta kan relateras till det som moralpsykologi för fram idag. Att analysera läroplanens texter och skolverkets kommentarmaterial med hjälp av moralpsykologiska teorier, hjälper denna studie till att identifiera tydliga kontraster mellan den svenska skolpolitikens försök till social förändring och den vetenskapliga grunden som, denna förändring vilar på..

Vårt syfte med examensarbetet var att undersöka vilken betydelse etiska värderingar har i undervisningen, samt om undervisning ökar elevers kompetens kring etiska värderingar. Vi har gjort en kvalitativ och en kvantitativ undersökning i form av en enkät och loggboksobservationer. Försökspersonerna var en klass som bestod av åtta pojkar och tolv flickor i år fyra. Genom etisk undervisning och övningar försökte vi öka elevernas medvetenhet kring etiska värderingar. Vi har främst sett förändringar i elevernas beteenden i våra loggboksanteckningar.
