Syftet med vårt arbete är att undersöka vilka faktorer det finns som påverkar elevens läsinlärning. Pedagoger har stora mängder av material att välja på, och vi undersöker varför pedagogerna väljer som de gör. Genom att intervjua och samtala med ett antal verksamma pedagoger och utbildare av pedagoger på lärarutbildningen i Malmö så skapar vi en bild av de förutsättningar läsinlärningen har idag, relaterat till dessa yrkesområden. Nya styrdokument samt en ny lärarutbildning ger förändrade förutsättningar för lärande. Vårt resultat visar att oberoende av utbildning så rådfrågar aktiva pedagoger i första hand sina kollegor när det gäller didaktiska val och val av material, men ingen pedagog menar att detta är ett problem..

Det här arbetet handlar om asfaltbetongblandningar och hur variationen av dessa vid projektering påverkar vägarnas dimensionering i överbyggnaden mer specifikt bärlagret. Arbetet är baserat på litteraturstudier av den senaste teorin kring dimensionering av asfaltbetongblandningar i väglager samt tillhörande kravskrifter både från svenska och amerikanska myndigheter. Den inledande delen i examensarbetet omfattar bakgrunden till vägdimensionering. Inledningsvis behandlas materialet asfaltbetong och derss egenskaper för att sedan gå vidare till allmänt om vägar, hur de utformas, vägens funktionella egenskaper och skador som kan uppstå. Detta ska ge läsaren tillräckligt med bakgrund för att följa med i resten av arbetet där man kan läsa mer ingående om deformationsskador och vilka parametrar som är till stor vikt när man studerar skador som uppstår i asfaltbetongen samt relationen till dem egenskaper bitumen har. Rapporten avslutas med att resonera kring eventuella problem kring dimensioneringsmetoder samt betydelsen av blandningens hållfasthetsegenskaper och hur de påverkar vägarnas tjocklek. Slutsatsen i rapporten är att asfaltbetongblandningen har en betydelse för dimensionering av bärlager och att det kan vara någonting att beakta oftare vid vägdimensionering speciellt vid blandningar som skiljer sig mycket från standardvarianterna..

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur elever samarbetar i skolslöjden och vilka funktioner detta samarbete fyller. Genom att observera hur elever i årskurs nio samarbetade under slöjdlektionerna samlades material till studien in, material som sedan analyserades och kategoriserades.Resultatet av analysen blev fyra kategorier, eller typer av samarbete;Kunskapsförmedlande samarbete, Diskuterande samarbete, Samarbete när den egna kroppen inte räcker till samt Bekräftande samarbete. Analyser gjordes även av hur tillgängliga lärarna var under de olika lektionerna och hur detta kan ha inverkat på elevernas samarbete, samt rummet och arbetsmiljöns förmodade inverkan..

This master?s degree thesis stems from the new possibilities that digitization offers preserving and increased public accessibility of our cultural heritage, but also how a lack of co-ordination and standardization may result in short-term projects and lack of quality. The purpose of this thesis is to examine a selection of public libraries? digitization projects. The two questions posed are:How does a selection of public libraries conduct their digitization projects concerning a) goals and objectives, b) execution c) what resources they encompass?How well does their work agree with the recommendations that exists for goals, objectives and execution?To answer the questions interviews were conducted with persons in various ways involved with the digitization projects.

As demand for renewable energy is increasing rapidly, the market for biomass pellets is expected to continue to grow in the near future. Most of the new raw materials that are discussed for pellet production have one thing in common; the production costs will increase compared to using traditional raw materials such as sawdust and planer shavings. The aim of this thesis is to investigate to what degree increased use of new raw materials for pellet production will affect the general pellet prices in Sweden and to survey what plans Swedish pellet producers have concerning new raw materials. To investigate the raw material situation of the Swedish pellet producers an industry survey was performed. Literature studies were also made on previous research in the subject field. Calculations of the production costs for pellets were done for the raw materials sawdust, wet sawmill chips and energy wood respectively. New raw materials are already used by the large-scale pellet producers in Sweden.

The Swedish government has proposed that 20 % of the cultivated land in Sweden should be organic by the year 2010 (The Swedish Board of Agriculture, 2008). In addition to this the production of organic food like milk, meat and egg should increase considerably. To reach the government?s goal it is necessary that the Swedish farmers get motivated to convert their production from conventional to organic. Milko is a dairy association that has chosen to focus on organic products, they want to be the leading organic dairy association, and therefore they have a large need for organic milk (Milko, 2008).

The properties of this material has been studied and it was found that there is very little difference in what affect students in there choice of school, studies and career. Boys who choose hairdressing and styling differ more than girls who choose a career in technics. This is a surprising result which we didn´t expect. In researching background material we learned that it should differ more in perspective of gender. We have compiled the material around young people's choices to high school.

Abstract The purpose of writing this thesis was to improve methods during requirements engineering phase. Usercentred system engineering has some problem areas, which are examined and verified to create a new guideline for developers. This guideline tends to make requirements engineering more effective and help developers create more concrete requirements. It is not uncommon that system development projects ends up with unsatisfied users or delay in deliveries. The reasons are different kinds of communication problems between users and developers during verification of requirements. There is a therapy model, called solution-focused therapy, used in family and individual therapy. The model focuses on solutions for the future instead of problems in the past.

In this thesis, I discuss the impact Swedish national culture may have on Swedish diplomats. This is a qualitative study and I have used theories from studies of international negotiations to compare the oppositional results of those scientists with my interview material. With the help of my interview material from seven Swedish diplomats and five foreign diplomats I have compared their perceptions of Swedish culture, Swedish diplomats and their thoughts about the existence of an international diplomatic culture with well known sceientists of international negotiations. My main question is whether there is an international diplomatic subculture, without any national impact, or not. The mission is to base the thesis with earlier science and then compare and contrast with my interview material.

Because of the currently large recruitment needs within the Swedish nuclear powerindustry, it is necessary to recruit trainers from other recruitment groups than that ofexperienced operators at nuclear power plants. The foundation for a trainingprogram regarding these recruitment groups, here called ?aspirants?, has in this thesisbeen prepared. It contains a suggestion for main topics in the program. It also includesdiscussion on the balance between forms of education and a concrete example ofhow a lesson could be performed.These suggestions has been developed through analysis of interviews and surveyresponses from student groups most suited for the propositioned trainee program,and individuals with service as a trainer or closely linked to training activities withinthe industry.The analysis suggests that the candidates gets, besides the opportunity to practice asoperating staff before the theoretical training begins, a training program, tightly boundto the power plant with multiple instances of practice and the chance of going intothe power plant and see how things that are being raised in theory, look in real life.The practice, in addition to helping to create an understanding of the plant, it will facilitate networking with the operations staff to build a relationship and trust.Candidates should have plenty of opportunity to educate and see both other aspirantsand experienced trainers train.

Unit testing is a type of testing technique which is becoming quite fashionable to the developers and companies that are in the business of creating and managing software. Alas there are seldom any concrete data to support the positive claims of the authors in unit testing methodology books. These claims are instead based on empirical studies and the experience of the authors. The problem that arises from this situation is that it becomes problematic for managers and also the developers themselves to convince both customers and their own management to use this type of testing as there is no exact return of investment model. This essay examines this problem from two points, the first point is from the literature itself and interviews conducted with a number of developers at a software company located in Umea, Sweden.

Studien syftar till att ta reda på och beskriva vilken medvetenhet som finns hos svenska textilkonstnärer när det kommer till produktionen av de textila naturmaterialen bomull, lin, silke och ull. Mina frågeställningarär hur svenska textilkonstnärer förhåller sig till ursprunget och produktionen i införskaffandet av deras textila material, samt hur de förhåller sig till ekologiskt respektive rättvisemärkt material i relation till sitt skapande.För att ge en bakgrund till detta inleds undersökningen med en kvalitativ litteraturstudie där jag beskriver den konventionella, respektive den ekologiska produktionen av de fyra ovan nämnda naturmaterialen, samt ger en beskrivning av textila märkningar och rättvis handel med textil. Genom en enkätstudie har jag sedan ställt frågor till tretton svenska textilkonstnärer som använder sig av bomull, lin, silke och ull för att ta reda på hur de förhåller sig till produktionen av dessa. Svaren från enkätstudien har sedan analyserats och resulterat i ett antal slutsatser; det finns stora brister i konstnärernas kunskaper kring produktionen av deras material. Flera tycker dock att de borde veta mer, och nio av tretton konstnärer svarade klart och tydligt att de var intresserade av att veta mer.

Finns det föreställningarna av rum och dess befintliga rörelser och struktur? Inom Inredningsarkitekturfinns det ettförhållningssättdär den praktiska funktionen är viktig. Där funktion betyder attvara aktiv i rummet, attkunna beröras av material tex möbler som social struktur för attkanske kunna producera för en konsument/brukare.Går det attlösgöra förväntningar och föreställningar från sin ram eller attvidga dessa i den rumsliga aspekteten attfylla något med känsla i stället för en brukande funktion? Om man reducerar funktionen, vilket betyder för mig, om man tar bort möbler och material och bara förhåller sigtill det mänskliga i ettrum. Vad blir kvar? D.v.s.

Previously when I have made proposals for privately owned gardens, I have found it difficult to find strong, extensive designs and to work with room and space. Since this is the field within which I am going to work in the future I feel that I need more experience, reference material and ideas on how I, in an early stage of the working process, can work with and consider room and space. The aim of this project has therefore been to procure experience, reference material and ideas for design of a garden in relation to space. To procure experience and reference material I have, during the fall of 2008, made two incredible study tours to France and to Japan. I have interviewed the landscaping architect Maria Arborgh and studied literature. I have also used a garden outside of Gothenburg in which I have been able to try out different thoughts and ideas regarding shape that have appeared during the course of my work. My conclusions about landscaping are that you should first find the different functions in the garden. The next step is to find an overall theme or shape, use a small number of materials, build a room with sealing, walls and portals with the help of vertical elements e.g.

The aim of this study is to analyze how intercommunication between offenders are presented with artefacts during the planning and implementation of a robbery in a cash depot in Stockholm. The methodological approach is based on empiricism from police investigation protocols, which leads this study to a case study. The ambition is to analyze the empirical material from a sociocultural perspective. The results shows that the offenders use artefacts to plan the crime with artefacts within an internal intercommunication between the offenders. After the planning artefacts such as a helicopter, explosive material, telephones, saws and ladders have been used in an intercommunication to implement the robbery which leads to an analysis that hierarchy depends on the role of the artefacts, only when technical artefacts are included in the term of hierarchy..
