This essay deals with development in Latin America. We have picked out some factors that the theories in development theory emphasize on.

The countries we decided to study were Costa Rica and Nicaragua, because these countries have shown very different levels of development. From this study we have concluded that political stability, economical investements and human investments are the most important factors when creating development..

The purpose of this thesis is to present a review of research themes and practice in the field of art image registration. The objectives of the review are twofold. The primary task is to distinguish which problems, in regard to theory and practice, that have been dealt with in the field of art image registration and the secondary task is to investigate which discursive, institutional and tool-related factors have had an impact on theoretical discussions and practice in the art image domain. The empirical content in the review is structured according to four epistemological viewpoints and is analyzed with a domain analytical approach. The result of the study is that two major problems are frequently discussed in the art image domain, namely lack of standardization and which discourse is the best suited for registration of art images.

Systems development methods mirror different organizational perspectives, and not all methods are formalised, but what they have in common is the purpose of structuring and supporting systems development processes. Which method would be the most suitable may be determined by the systems development context at hand, because every systems development context is unique. Information is a valuable asset in today?s organizations, and it needs to be protected against both internal and external security threats. In our essay we aspired to find and present suggestions as to how systems developers can include security in the very design based on formalised systems development methods to create systems that are better prepared to meet the security challenges of today.

Regulation of web bots is an analysis of the interest and a collection of discussions about the phenomena web bots. The section that contains the result from the interviews brings up the question about ethical and legal actions and the opposite to those. How the regulation could work is also discussed in the section with the results from the interviews.

Denna uppsats har sitt ursprung i att Kontaktpersonsverksamheten LSS Majorna i Göteborg tog kontakt med institutionen för socialt arbete vid Göteborgs universitet. De hade en önskan om att några studenter skulle ta på sig uppgiften att undersöka om deras stödinsatser i form av handledning, feedback och utbildning var tillräckliga. Vi tyckte att uppdraget var intressant då vi alla tre har erfarenheter från människobehandlande organisationer och på nära håll sett hur viktiga dessa mellanmänskliga relationer är. Vi har genomfört en kvantitativ studie och vår datainsamlingsmetod bestod i att skicka ut enkäter till 112 kontaktpersoner inom kontaktpersonsverksamheten LSS Majorna. Det övergripande syftet med denna studie har varit att undersöka om kontaktpersonerna får de verktyg i form av handledning, feedback och utbildning de behöver för att utföra sina uppdrag på ett bra sätt.

Purpose: We wish to gain a deep knowledge about product development processes in relation to the aspect of time in companies in highly technological and rapidly changing markets. The purpose is to establish how organizations better can employ time as a resource to make the product development process more efficient. Conclusions: Information we gathered from theory and primary data show that information flow, synchronization and time profit when seeing time in three dimensions are factors which should be reflected in the architecture of a product development process. To illustrate our findings, we decided to create a model..

Syftet med denna uppsats är att, genom direktobservationer och löpande protokoll, ta reda på hur pedagogerna i två olika verksamheter skapar och upprätthåller social ordning i samlingen. Tyngdpunkten kommer att ligga vid fördelningen mellan tillrättavisningar och positiv feedback från pedagogen riktat till barnet/barnen, då detta väckte intresset för att vidare studera pedagogers metoder för att skapa och upprätthålla den sociala ordningen. Vi har genomfört totalt 24 observationer som är underlaget för att besvara frågeställningarna. Utifrån våra kategoriseringar av pedagogens metoder ser vi i resultatet att pedagogerna i båda verksamheterna använder samma typ av metoder men ibland på olika sätt. Pedagogerna på Lärkan varierar metoder, innehåll och barngrupp i sina samlingar, medan pedagogen på Rackarungarna har tre liknande samlingar med samma barngrupp varje dag.

The students participating in my development work will work with a process book for handicraft studies. In the beginning of their studies, the students need practical knowledge about the development of the profession itself, but they also need to be challenged and learn how to solve problems on their own which will help them gain a deeper knowledge of the subject.    I focus on open questions to create a process with the students. This process is created when working with Solution-Focused-Education. Through ?assessment for learning? we can help the students to improve their self-assessment and understanding of the learning process.
