The aim of this thesis is to examine what factors that influences the management control in a family business operating in a sector in which they are under-represented. We have therefore conducted a case study of a family business in the finance sector, E. Öhman J: or Fondkommission AB (Öhman). The first conclusion is that the management control in Öhman is influenced by the environment and the increasing size of the company. We have found, however, that it is to an even larger extent affected by the fact that it is a family business even though the company is operating in a sector in which family businesses are not the norm.

The EU guarantees the free movement of persons. The citizens of the EU Member States have the right to move freely without barriers within the EU borders and this result in an integration of the peoples in Europe. The integration result in several international family relationships. It is not unusual in the present situation that families have international relations. For example, spouses in a married couple may have different nationality.

The aim of this thesis is to examine how librarians and family historians experience their interaction at the reference encounter, what influences these views and how they affect the service; whether the family historians are aware of these views; which subject knowledge is needed and how this knowledge affects work performance; if there is a need for continuing education, and finally, if the family historians themselves can work as a resource for the library or the librarians? The thesis consists of three parts; in the first a theoretical frame was constructed around the concepts service, continuing education, subject knowledge and attitudes. Role theory was used as a theoretical background to show how expectations influence professional roles. The second part consists of the results given from the qualitative interviews with librarians and surveys with family historians that were performed. In the last part a discussion from the theoretical and empirical information earlier received was made.

Syftet med mitt examensarbete var att få mer kunskap om konkreta material som behandlar multiplikation och division. För att få veta vilka konkreta material som finns att tillgå gjorde jag intervjuer med två lärare som fick beskriva vilka material de använder sig av. Jag valde att observera två elever enskilt då de löste de multiplikations- och divisionsproblem som jag hade designat för studien. Det jag fick ut av undersökning var att det finns många olika material som elever kan arbeta med samt att det är viktigt att de får möjligheten att arbeta med dessa material. Jag kom fram till att lärare bör vara medveten om i vilket område som materialet är bäst tillämpad och att elever behöver använda sig av konkreta material för att lättare förstå uppgiften.

This paper examines family owned tourism businesses with a special focus on succession. In Nordic countries tourism has been widely promoted and used in rural development as a replacement economy for ?traditional? livelihoods based on rural production. Because the tourism and hospitality industry, especially in rural areas, is dominated by family enterprises, the topic of succession is of great relevance for tourism and tourism destinations. This paper looks at family businesses? special characteristics, challenges and advantages in terms of ownership structure, lifestyle, motivations, employees and destination impact.

Background: This paper was performed by a student in the Public Health Sciences program at the University of Gothenburg as a mandate from the district administration (SDF) Askim-Frölunda-Högsbo in Gothenburg. The assignment was formed on the basis of a need for a new service with a family-centered approach in the form of a family center for families with children aged 6-12 years. The family center will be located in the Frölunda area.Aim: The purpose of this paper was to describe and deepen the understanding of the concept of a family center from a public health perspective. A particular focus was put on interventions that are aimed at children aged 6-12 years.Method: Walker and Avants (2011) model for concept analysisResults: The defined attributes that the analysis led to were the following: Collaboration, Health Promotion, Prevention and Support services and the Visitors.

The family and relatives caring of older people in Sweden lies on an old tradition. By legislation the responsibility for the older people has gone through a development from the family to the society. According to the new social service law (2000) it is not that clear that the utmost responsibility lies on the society. According to the social service law ( 5th chapter, 10 §) the municipality should ease things up by giving support and relief for relatives taking care of older people, prolonged ill and function disabled people. The purpose with the study was to examine how the family care givers are finding their everyday work and their experience of the support that the society is giving.

Tidigare forskning har uppmärksammat elevers svårigheter med bråk samt bråkräkning och omfattande felanalyser har gjorts. Dock beskriver inte dessa felanalyser bakgrunden till elevernas strategival eller de slutsatser som dragits vid uppgiftslösning. Utifrån detta är syftet med den här uppsatsen att studera de resonemang som elever för när de löser uppgifter som innefattar division av bråk. Vilka argument grundar sig val av strategi på samt de lösningar som nås? Är argumenten förankrade i bråkens inre matematiska egenskaper? Den metod som använts är kvalitativ där tre videoobservationer har gjorts av elever när de, under en labbsituation, enskilt löst uppgifter som innefattat division av bråk.

Vårt syfte med det här arbetet var att undersöka hur förskolebarn agerar när de ställs inför två matematiska problem innehållande division/delning. Vilka lösningsstrategier använder de för att lösa givna problem? Vi valde att genomföra en fallstudie på den förskola där vi alla tre arbetar, och metoden vi använde oss av var deltagande observation, samt videofilmning. I studien ingick nio stycken femåringar. När vi transkriberade videoinspelningen såg vi att barnen använde sig av de olika lösningsstrategierna som vi tog upp i den teoretiska bakgrunden, i olika utsträckning.

The aim of this Master?s thesis was to investigate if one can identify a pattern in a family?s reading habits. Our empirical data was gathered in a survey distributed to a family in three generations, between the ages 15 to 82. The family was interviewed in a life time perspective, in a so called life story character. The questions addressed in this thesis concerned how the reading habits and the general attitude toward literature differ between generations in one family.

En regel med både fram- och baksidor är en studie med syftet att belysa och analysera hur utbildningsersättningen utifrån föreningarnas perspektiv påverkar svensk herrfotboll på division 1 och 2-nivå. I studien så har det gjorts tio semistrukturerade intervjuer med sportchefer eller herrfotbollsansvariga i division 1 och 2-föreningar för att komma fram till studiens resultat och analys. Utbildningsersättningen är en kompensation som ska utgå till föreningar som har utbildat en spelare mellan 12 och 21 års ålder. Utbildningsersättningen betalas till dessa föreningar när spelaren skriver sitt första professionella kontrakt. Utbildningsersättning betalas också när spelaren skriver kontrakt med nya föreningar fram till och med det år han fyller 23 år.Resultatet av studien visar att föreningarna tycker att utbildningsersättningen ska kompensera de föreningar som tar fram talanger.

Syfte med vårt examensarbete är att studera elevernas prestationer inom division för att se om det finns några samband mellan elevernas talradsfärdigheter och de benämnda uppgifternas kontext som kan ha betydelse för elevernas prestationer inom divisionen. För att besvara våra frågeställningar och även nå vårt syfte valde vi att använda oss av elevprover och ett muntligt prov som datainsamlingsmetoder. Vi kan endast påvisa tendenser då vår studie är relativt liten och därför inte går att generalisera. Resultaten visar dock tendenser till att goda talradsfärdigheter är till fördel i mötet med division och att en kontext kan stötta de elever som inte har samma goda talradsfärdigheter till att ändå nå framgångar inom divisionen..
