The goal of this thesis is to investigate the W3C Geolocation API from a developer?s perspective, focused on whether it makes development of location-based applications more accessible to developers. This has been investigated by looking at available ways to locate, possible uses, the functionality offered, the necessary level of prior knowledge needed for a developer and requirements on developer tools. This has been achieved through studies in relevant areas, a thorough introduction to W3C Geolocation API functionality, and by using the API to develop two different location-based applications as a demonstration. Testing of applications, on different platforms and in different environments, in conjunction with investigation of the rest of the material has shown that W3C Geolocation API in many ways actually makes development of location-based applications more accessible for developers.

Kra?nkande behandling och mobbning a?r ett stort problem i skolorna idag, na?got som ba?de Skolverket (2002), Myndigheten fo?r skolutveckling (2003) och barnombudsmannen Lena Nyberg (2005) har uppma?rksammat. Syftet med studien a?r, mot denna bakgrund, att underso?ka na?gra fo?ra?ldrars erfarenheter av samverkan med skolan i arbetet att fo?rhindra kra?nkande behandling och mobbning av deras egna barn. Studien syftar a?ven till att belysa fo?ra?ldrars roll som en resurs i va?rdegrundsarbetet generellt.

Two of Swedens´s major banks, SEB and Handelsbanken, which appears in the same industry and have similar strategy. Both banks can achieve a similar result despite the fact that their reward system looks quite different. An issue that arises from this observation is the relative reward system to the rest of the economy control system.Our purpose of this paper is therefore to examine the reward system in the organization's financial management systems. We wonder if the reward system may be a function of economic control system, or part of the system, or perhaps made independent of the system and then gradually adapted?In our study, we choose to assume a reward system has three functions to manage, motivate and compose the employee group.

By exposing their products in blogs, companies have the opportunity to reach out to hundreds of thousands of consumers daily. Instead of using conventional Internet advertising such as banners and ads, some companies chose to make use of product placement in blogs. By choosing to expose their products in blogs, companies use a medium that blog readers are familiar with and can relate to, and can thereby solicit customers for their products and brands.We will examine whether product placements in fashion blogs are an effective way for businesses to market themselves and their products. We measure this efficiency, by keeping a record of the sales of ten product placed garment and accessories that we have selected from four of the largest blogs in Sweden. The stores we examine sales of product placed goods in are volume brand stores such as Zara and H&M etcetera.

TV- och mediabranschen drivs pa? av teknikutveckling och a?r under fo?ra?ndring da?r allt fler konsumenter va?ljer att konsumera video via internet vilket sta?ller krav pa? akto?rerna i TV-branschen. Traditionella TV-operato?rer fo?rso?ker fo?ra?ndra sina affa?rsmodeller, branschgra?nser blir mer otydliga da?r bolag som tidigare ansvarat fo?r it-infrastrukturen fo?rso?ker ta sto?rre del av va?rdekedjan, nystartade fo?retag ser sin chans att konkurrera samt globala akto?rer som Google och Apple blir allt sto?rre hot.Fo?r konsultbolag finns det i TV-branschen da?rfo?r mo?jligheter att fylla ett marknadsbehov av branschspecifik ra?dgivning och resurser fo?r att hja?lpa TV- akto?rerna med att anpassa sig till digitaliseringen. Konsultbolag som fo?rso?ker etablera sig inom TV- och mediamarknaden beho?ver ta sta?llning till fra?gesta?llningar som hur brett erbjudande de ska ha, vilka kompetenser och roller de ska erbjuda och hur de uppna?r en stark marknadsposition.

?r 2018 b?rjade en ny lag att g?lla i det svenska utbildningsv?sendet. Det innebar att f?rskoleklassen blev obligatorisk och att barns skolplikt b?rjar det kalender?r de fyller sex ?r (SFS 2010:800). Dilemmat ?r att samtidigt som denna nya lag tr?dde i kraft, f?rsvann specialskolorna och i den anpassade grundskolan finns ingen f?rskoleklass.

Social hållbarhet har blivit ett alltmer omdiskuterat begrepp inom stadsplanering och bostadspolitik. Av de olika hållbarhetsaspekterna är det kanske den som är svårast att mäta och definiera, och det finns fortfarande förhållandevis lite forskning som på ett heltäckande sätt undersökt kopplingarna mellan den byggda miljöns fysiska struktur och människors sociala välmående. Trots brist på konsensus och raka, tydliga fakta, finns starka åsikter om hur en socialt hållbar stad ser ut. Denna uppsats studerar argument i den debatt som förts alltsedan industrialiseringen, av forskare, stadsplanerare och arkitekter. Det är dels en generell genomgång av inlägg i den allmänna debatten, men särskilt fokus läggs också på diskussionen kring efterkrigstidens höghusområden, i Sverige ofta kallade miljonprogramsområden. Arbetet består av en litteraturstudie med efterföljande diskussion och reflektion.

Nationella m?tningar visar att svenska elevers l?sf?rm?ga f?rs?mrats under 2000-talet trots att skolor har blivit b?ttre p? att identifiera elevers l?ssv?righeter. Syftet med studien ?r att unders?ka hur n?gra speciall?rare med specialisering mot spr?k-, skriv- och l?sutveckling som arbetar p? skolor med god m?luppfyllelse i svenska, beskriver att de planerar, genomf?r, f?ljer upp och vill utveckla insatser i l?sundervisningen i ?rskurs F-3 efter att l?sscreening gjorts f?r att elever med l?ga resultat ska utvecklas mot en god l?sf?rm?ga. De centrala fr?gest?llningar studien fokuserar p? ?r hur speciall?rare beskriver att de anv?nder elevers testresultat f?r att planera och genomf?ra insatser efter l?sscreeningen, hur de beskriver att de f?ljer upp insatser samt hur de skulle vilja utveckla detta arbete.

The purpose of this essay is to examine and compare the news covering of Swedens three biggest cities (the metropolitan areas) and their surrounding areas with the covering of the rest of the country (the provincial areas) in two daily national newspapers, Aftonbladet and Dagens Nyheter. The aim has been to answer the following questions:- What amount of the news coverage in Aftonbladet and Dagens Nyheter concern the metropolitan areas compared to the provincial areas, and how do these two newspapers differ in the news covering of these areas?- Is there a difference in the news articles size and content, depending on weather they concern the metropolitan or the provincial areas?- How has the balance between news concerning metropolitan and provincial areas changed over the recent 20 years?The theories used in this study are News values, the media commercialization and Popular Journalism, and The Agenda Setting Theory. The method that has been used is a Quantitative Content Analysis.Despite the essays hypothesis, that the news coverage in the two newspapers would be dominated by material from the metropolitan areas, the result showed that a majority of the examined articles concern the provincial areas. It also showed that Aftonbladet has a bigger percentage of provincial news than Dagens Nyheter.

Heart failure is an illness that requires life-long treatment and often affects everyday aspects of a person?s life. Self-care is a significant part of the treatment. Good self-care resources make it possible for people with heart failure to make the lifestyle changes they often need to maintain or improve their level of health. Self-care means having knowledge of and being able to recognize the symptoms and signs of deterioration that can occur with heart failure, so that the person can take appropriate measures ? and it also means knowing when it is time to seek professional help.

The purpose of this study is to examine who were given the opportunity to express their opinions in the government proposition concerning the future of the school system ? particularly regarding the proposal that pupils do compulsory military service - submitted to the Swedish parliament 21 March 1941. Our focus is mainly on three parts of the proposition: the proposal to introduce shooting- and grenade practice for all pupils, the proposal to introduce an obligatory military leadership training course for teachers and the proposal to introduce an obligatory summer camp for all pupils.Using primarily a qualitative method we examine how different opinions and views are expressed in the statements and utterances responding to the pending proposition and who the responders are. We will attempt to clarify who were considered to be undisputed authorities and experts, and whose opinions, for that reason, carried a lot of weight in the decision making process, comparing them to the statements and utterances submitted on a voluntary basis by non-experts. And finally, to what extent the opinions in the statements and utterances were allowed to guide the propositional work.Results show that the statements and utterances were submitted by authorities, chapter, county administrative boards and religious, non-profit and political organizations as well as different types of schools, representatives from the Board of Education and elementary school boards not a part of county councils or other types of associations.
