Titeln på detta självständiga arbete är Impulsivt utagerande barn i förskolan. Det är en studie om pedagogers upplevelser och erfarenheter av arbete med barn som upplevs uppvisa impulsivt utagerande beteende. Den engelska titeln på arbetet är Impulsive aggressive behavior in pre-schoolers, a study of teacher´s interpretations and experiences of work with pre-schoolers who exhibit such behavior. Syftet är att undersöka hur pedagoger i sin yrkesprofession som förskollärare och specialpedagoger tolkar och uppfattar arbetet med dessa barn. Frågeställningarna för arbetet handlar om upplevda uppfattningar om orsaker till att beteendet kan uppstå och de arbetssätt som används inom förskolan för att stödja och hjälpa de barn som upplevs uppvisa impulsivt utagerande beteende. Arbetets teoretiska ram är Bronfenbrenners (1979) utvecklingsekologiska modell och Von Wrights (2002) punktuella och relationella perspektiv. Undersökningen bygger på kvalitativa intervjuer med sex förskollärare som är verksamma på tre olika förskolor och två specialpedagoger i en kommun. Resultatet av undersökningen visar att barn kan upplevas uppvisa impulsivt utagerande beteende på grund av orsaker i miljön eller till följd av någon form av oförmåga hos barnet.

Our purpose of this paper is to seek an understanding of which service quality factors that affects customers in their decision making progress regarding purchasing financial services such as pension products. We also seek to evaluate the different service quality factors by compare their relative strength against each other. The study aim to investigate if there are any connections between customer behavior variables such as gender, age and income in comparison to these service quality factors related to pension products.The findings aim to help a small financial institute such as our case company Plain Capital to understand how their customers experience service quality regarding pension products.In order to find empirical results we conducted a qualitative research as well a quantitative research. The qualitative research employed both a focus group interview with pension savers and an interview with our case company Plain Capital. We were able to identify the service quality factors for pension?s products with help from the focus group interview.

Our purpose with the study was to investigate how the image of a mother?s role is created by the magazines Mama and Husmodern. Mama is an existing magazine, but Husmodern ceased to exist in 1988. Both magazines focus on children, fashion and housework. We wanted to know what qualities you need to become a good or a bad mother.

The artistic subjects disappeared from the obligatory curriculum of the Swedish secondary school in 2011. The purpose of this work is to analyze to which extent the new curriculum Lgy11 is based on scientific results when it comes to the role the aesthetics were given. This paper analyzes the documents that preceded the reform, such as Government Reports and Interpellation Debates, for a start. It continues with an analysis of an interdisciplinary group of researchers, whose scientific work include research of impacts of art and art education in ordinary education and learning in a more holistic perspective. Finally an analysis of the curriculum itself is made.

This study aims to investigate associations in two areas in Stockholm County with diverse socio-economic conditions. The study intends to examine the impact these differences have on what role the bureaucrats and politicians in the two areas think that the associations should have. Bureaucrats are those who design guidelines for associations and that is why they have an important role in the conditions of the associations. A comparison between the two areas has been made to see if the requirement in the guidelines for the areas are different according to where the members live. The two areas that have been used to compare the guidelines of associations are Danderyd municipal and the district Spånga-Tensta.

Denna undersökning redogör för svordomsanvändningen bland några elever i en grundskola utifrån autentiska samtal. Med hjälp av en CA-inspirerad samtalsanalys av det insamlade materialet, bestående av ljudinspelningar, besvaras de följande frågeställningarna: (1) Vilken funktion har fan för de medverkande deltagarna i ett samtal? (2) Vilken funktion har jävlar för de medverkande deltagarna i ett samtal? (3) Vilken funktion har engelska svordomar för de medverkande deltagarna i ett samtal? Resultatet visar att fan används främst som extra beto-ning eller förstärkning för att framför allt signalera en bakomliggande känsla i yttrandet. Även jävlar har samma signaleringsförmåga då dess främsta funktion är att vara ett adjektiv som ger extra betoning till ett kommande substantiv. Engelska svordomar har främst en informa-tionsfunktion där de använda svordomarna medför viktig information i ett yttrande..

My thesis is an attempt to clarify the purpose and workings of art in relation to the artist, his/her fellows and society. Can art be considered as a uniting force? If so, where does its unifying quality lie? How does art connect with the individual, the community and society? My interpretation of the political climate regarding the arts has resulted in an exploration of the question: What role does art have in society today?The artistic ego as an altruism ? within the title of this thesis lies an absolute paradox ? a paradox that through this paper is tested, reviewed and demonstrated as a way of describing art and its workings. The thesis is problematized and studied from several angles: Through the inner artistic process, both reflective and empirical, and through philosophical studies..

Med stigande energikostnader, och med påverkan av miljön är det viktigt att spara energi. Ett led i detta äratt bygga bostäder och andra byggnader mer energisnåla, eftersom dessa står för nästan 40 % av Sverigesenergianvändning.Ett hinder för att bygga energisnålt är den ökade kostnaden vid produktionen, för exempelvis ökande mängdbyggnadsmaterial. Det är därför viktigt att inte bara titta på vad byggnadskostnaden blir, utan vad kostnaden blirpå sikt. Läggs extra pengar vid byggnationen på extra isolering och effektivare installationer, kommerdriftskostnaden av huset minska. Detta gör att inom en framtid kommer den dyrare byggnationen ha betalat sig.Det visar sig att passivhus fungerar och att det betalar sig i längden att bygga passivhus.

Föreliggande undersökning är en kvantitativ attitydstudie vilken bygger på Izec Ajzens Theory of planned behavior. Teorins utgångspunkt är att individens beteende föregås av en intention att utföra beteendet. Intentionen grundar sig i tre faktorer: individens attityd gentemot beteendet, subjektiva normer och individens upplevda beteendekontroll. Studien syfte är att i första hand studera ungdomars attityder gentemot läxläsning och delaktighet på lektioner. Syftet är även att kartlägga vilka faktorer som i störst grad påverkar intentionen att studera och hur intentionen skiljer sig mellan könen.

The purpose of this Master thesis is to investigate issues concerning the role of the public librarian and their work with adult learners. This is done by examining Studiebibliotek Halland, a project initiated and financed by Kulturrådet, with the aim of improving for adult learners to use the public libraries in Halland. The major questions raised in this study are: How do the librarians interviewed experience their role as public librarian since the number of adult learners at the public library has increased? In what way do the librarians think they have to change their work in order to meet the demands of the adult learners? How do they feel about the change? Do they think their work will change more as a result of the project? Data was collected through interviews and the study is a qualitative study. The main results are that the librarians have a very positive attitude towards adult learners using the public library.

The tribo system ice-curling stone was investigated in order to understand the mechanisms behind the stones' behavior on the ice sheet. The problem with non-identical stones should also be addressed.The stone curls, that is, its sliding path deviates from a straight line to the right for a clock-wise rotation and to the left for a anti-clock-wise rotation. Several mechanisms to explain this behavior have been proposed over the years but none has been successful.By carrying out experiments at the local curling rink and studying silicon castings of ice- and stone-surfaces with scanning electron microscopy and vertical scanning interferometry, it has been decided that the curl is not due to dry friction, ice-debris or the difference in friction on the left and right side of the stone. The side force comes from the fact that the friction is higher at the back of the stone than at the front.The contact between stone and ice is never completely dry, nor in the hydrodynamic lubrication regime. It is probably a combination of hydrodynamic lubrication and a contribution from mechanical scratching of the ice.

Background: The lack of knowledge regarding preschool children's mental health prompted Uppsala University, in collaboration with Uppsala Kommun, to start a study in which children aged 3, 4, and 5 years are screened using the "Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire" (SDQ). This screening method has been introduced into the majority of Uppsala County child care centers (BVC), and the nurses' experience of working with this method is examined in this paper.Method: A qualitative approach with semi-structured questions was used to interview ten nurses who pioneered the SDQ Method. The interviews where recorded, transcribed and analyzed using content analysis.Results: Three themes and nine categories were identified from the interviews. The themes were: "Attitude and motivation are important when working with the form", "Clearer overall picture with preschool answer", and "A tool to identify difficulties". The results show that the nurses were satisfied with the form.

The purpose of this essay is to examine progression in user education atprimary and secondary school levels, specifically the role played byschool libraries, librarians and strategy documents in securingeducational progression. Progression is examined in the user educationprovided by the five schools, part of the same municipal schoolmanagement area which share the same strategy plan. The area, NorraFäladen, was awarded School Library of the Year in 2011 for its work,making it particularly interesting for this essay's purpose. The studycombines interviews with the area's three school librarians, who dividetheir time between the five schools, with an analysis of the strategydocuments that regulate user education within Norra Fäladen. Theanalytical framework is based on: AASL's model of progression in usereducation (Standards for the 21st-century learner); Ekström's model forsuccessful and active strategy documents; Kuhlthau's theory of thelibrarian's role in the information search process; and Limberg'staxonomy of the role of the school library.The study shows how a number of concurrent factors and prerequisitesinfluence how goals for progression in user education are met.
