Denna rapport har sin utgångspunkt i att förkunskaperna hos studenter inför högskolestudier är bristfälliga och på grund av det även i misstankarna om en betygsinflation på gymnasieskolan. En undersökning med syftet att utreda hur betyg sätts, utförs där tre lärare konstruerar varsin bedömningsmall till ett nationellt prov i Matematik C. Dessa mallar jämförs med Skolverkets mall och betygskriterierna. Dessutom förs intervjuer med lärarna om hur de hanterar betygsättningen av hela kursen. Intervjusvaren kontrolleras mot gällande styrdokument.

This thesis investigates the communicative role of scenography in the performing arts for children, with an aim to make the readers understand the ways in which a set design can be optimized so that a young audience can be able to interpret the play and its message.The art of scenography is complex and includes many elements. The research questions can therefore be grouped into three clusters: one artistic oriented (How does the scenographic process work and what is its relation to the scenic piece at large? In which ways may scenography be used to support the desiderate interpretation?), one audience oriented (Which work processes enhances the chances of creating dramatic art that is perceived as meaningful to the audience? On what premises can the semiotics of theatre be used in the performing arts for a young audience?) and last a cluster that focuses on Den magiska cirkeln (The Magic Circle) by ung scen/öst (What is told in the show and how is this portrayed in the scenography? Who is in the target group, and does the audience get the feeling of the performance as intended?).Den magiska cirkeln is used as a case study in the thesis in order to reflect the theoretical material. Methods in the case study includes performance analysis, a survey completed by 178 people in the audience and an interview with scenographer Anna Dolata. 14 performing analyzes of Swedish children?s theatre shows have been made in addition to the case study.The thesis analyses and compares two work logics; the internal logic and the external logic, and it is shown that meaningful interpretations are likelier to happen with an external logical point of view.

Our findings show that depending on the contextual setting and what sort of merger an organization goes through, the identity strategies will differ. We see that symbols and values are two objects of relevance in our case companies? identity strategies, but that there are differences in how they are being used. There is consensus around the fact that values are important to have, however their meaning to each organization differs and it has also proven to be dependent on what position you possess in the company. We have developed a four-fielder in order to further illustrate our findings.

This is a study of foster homes. The focus is at the methods, used at foster homes evaluations and at guidance/support the foster homes are offered.En questionnaire is made in Skåne, on this theme.Except that, it contains a fairly lot of useful information for families who are interested in becoming foster home.The questionnaire is made among public and private participants who evaluates new foster homes and places children (under 18 years) in Skåne.Because of the low answer frequency, we can?t generalize the result of the questionnaire. But the result we have obtained indicates that Kälvestens evaluation method is used frequently.In the subject of support/guidance we can?t see any specific methods used.

Trade was assigned as a Community responsibility at the founding of the European Community in 1957. It was then recognized that Europe would achieve a greater international influence if it were to negotiate trade deals with one voice. Since then, the basic rule has been that the European Commission negotiates agreements on behalf of the EC, and presents the agreements negotiated for approval in the European Council. Today, the 25-member European Union is the largest trading power in the world, and most member states have decades of experience of coordinating their national trade interests into a common position. However, partly as a result of the complex nature of the trade decision-making processes it is sometimes problematic to identify who or what really influences EU trade policy.

Uppsatsen är en reflekterande text över ett verk gjort som examensarbete vid Högskolan i Skövde. Verket är en film samt fyra konceptbilder som skapades med syftet att undersöka hur en förenklad grafisk stil påverkar produktionen av ett tänkt spel. Verket skulle även undersöka förenklingarnas påverkan på hur grafiken uppfattas.I samband med ny teknik och nya spelkonsoler följer en trend att skapa så tekniskt avancerade spel som möjligt. Verkligheten används ofta som mall för att betygssätta grafik. Med denna trend medföljer ökad komplexitet i själva spelproduktionen.

Jag har genomfört en kvalitativ studie om lärares upplevelser och tankar kring bedömningsarbetet i ämnet Idrott och hälsa. Syftet med studien var att ta reda på hur lärare i Idrott och hälsa beskriver och upplever arbetet med bedömning. Vid insamlandet av data har jag använt mig av semi-strukturerade intervjuer och genomfört dessa med sex lärare som undervisar i Idrott och hälsa på skolor i Mellansverige. Sammantaget visar min studie att det som ligger till grund för bedömningen i Idrott och hälsa skiljer sig åt mellan lärare. Vissa har utarbetat en tydlig mall som visar varje moment som vägs in i bedömningen medan andra bildar sig en helhetsuppfattning av eleverna genom elevens insatser under terminen.

Syftet med studien är att få en ökad förståelse om de insatser som görs av involverande organisationer (likt socialförvaltningen, Althea och inom skolan) i Halmstad är adekvata för barn som har familjeproblem, utifrån ett sociologiskt perspektiv. Genom kvalitativa intervjuer med nyckelinformanter, som på olika sätt kommer i kontakt med barn som har familjeproblem i deras yrke, har vi fått fram ett relevant och ingående materiel som belyser ämnet. Resultatet visar på att organisationerna sätter barnet i fokus på olika sätt, de har olika synpunkter och illvägagångssätt i beaktanden av insatser som görs för barn och dess familj. I analysen, vilken sammankopplas till resultat och bakgrund, har vi använt oss av eorier och begrepp som system och livsvärld av Habermas, byråkrati och makt av eber och slutligen expertsystem, tillit och ontologisk trygghet av Giddens. Slutsatsen visar på att det är viktigt att se till helheten och på det som finns runt omkring, inte enbart på de olika delarna och till problemet i sig..

?This is a study of two school extern homework activities dedicated to helping students with their homework. The questions at issue are 1) how are the homework activities organized when it comes to financing, planning, marketing and implementation? 2) Who participates as staff as well as students and what are the requirements for participants? 3) What are the reasons for students to attend school external homework sessions? Material was gathered by a survey among the students at the activities and by interviews with principals for each activity. Two main findings are that the homework activities are almost exclusively visited by students with immigrant background and that the main reasons for participating are difficulties with the Swedish language, and parents not being able to help their children with homework.

This qualitative case study, made with four companies, looks closer at how more effective information management, with the help of IT-systems, affect companies market communication and relations to customers and suppliers. Customer Relationship Management perspective is used and Enterprise Resource Planning-systems are the ground for new technology change. The main conclusions are that new technology affects the outcome of companies? relationships towards their customers and suppliers and that the processes and activities between the involved parties are more closely linked. Also involving your suppliers and external actors makes the information handling more effective and companies that do so most likely have a competitive advantage..

In this report you can read about a service company that wants to introduce a new decision tool for their customers. The first question that will be answered in this report is, what information is needed for market controllers. The second question investigates how a decision tool that gives the answers to the first question would work. Theories in business and economics written by Jan Lindvall (2001) and sociotechnical work analysis written by Kim Vicente (1999) are used in this report. To find the answers to question number one, interviews with two market controllers were done.

Unga är inte lika väletablerade på bostadsmarknaden som de var förr. Detta på grund av den långsamma byggtakten i storstadsregionerna, vilket också har lett till att en renoveringsvåg sköljt genom Sverige och således gjort även det äldre bostadsbeståndet dyrt och svåråtkomligt. Syftet med arbete är att undersöka de kvaliteter som finns i att bygga yteffektivt. Detta som en del till att öka möjligheterna för ungas etablering på bostadsmarknaden. För att besvara arbetets syfte delas det in i tre delsyften.

The aim of this study is to evaluate whether the value of occupant load is over or under estimated when the Swedish general value for department stores, 0,5 person/m2, is used for dimensioning shopping centers. The data that was analyzed derives from seven shopping centers and one department store. A conservative method was used to calculate the occupant load factor. The analysis shows that two groups can be discerned: one group that is characterized by a lower occupant load factor that does not exceed 0,3 person/m2, and one group with a higher occupant load factor. Shopping centers with a higher occupant load factor are located centrally in large urban areas.

SammandragUnder vintern 2005 fick vi en förfrågan om vi ville åta oss uppdraget att förbättra Ovanåkers kommuns årsredovisning, eventuellt göra en mall. Detta tyckte vi var ett bra ämne för en C-uppsats. Vi insåg dock rätt snart att en mall inte är lämplig för en årsredovisning eftersom det låser redovisningen till en statisk modell. Vi anser istället att årsredovisningarna ska utvecklas i enlighet med den hermeneutiska spiralen.Vårt primära syfte, att skapa en ökad förståelse för vikten av kommunala årsredovisningars utveckling, anser vi vara uppfyllt genom att vi svarar på de problemställningar vi har formulerat. En problemställning var att definiera ?målgrupp? och ?förbättra?.

Most companies have a bottleneck in their production, that is a constraining re-source. When the demand is higher than the capacity in the constraining resource it is impossible to produce the demanded output. This problem leads to delayed deliveries, unhappy customers and ultimately to decreased revenue. Bottlenecks therefore has a significant role in production and must be handled thereof.MW Power in Sävsjö, Sweden designs and manufactures water and steam boilers for the customer's unique needs. MW Power invested in a new plasma cutting ma-chine but the machine has not reached the expected capacity.
