Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen ?r att utifr?n ett institutionellt perspektiv f? en ut?kad f?rst?else kring id?erna om helhet i offentlig f?rvaltning. Teori: Studiens teoretiska ramverk utg?r fr?n ?vers?ttningsteori och teorin om lagring (layering). Metod: Studien utg?r fr?n en kvalitativ metod d?r fr?gest?llningen: ?Hur har id?erna kring helhet f?r?ndrats ?ver tid?? besvaras genom en dokumentstudie och den andra fr?gest?llningen: ?Hur beskrivs synen p? id?erna om helhet?? besvaras genom intervjuer av nio medarbetare i G?teborgs stad. Resultat: Studiens resultat visar p? att det uttrycks olika id?er som kan p?verka resultatet och f?ruts?ttningarna f?r ?vers?ttning av id?erna. Studien mer aspekter ?n enbart definitionen av helhet, utan ?ven andra aspekter som komplexitet, gr?nsdragning, styrning och definition d?r varje aspekt ?r med och p?verkar synen p? id?erna om helhet. ?ver tid s? visade det sig att grundid?erna om helhet var lika, men en skillnad som visade sig ?ver tid var id?erna kring styrning och organisering f?r att sprida id?erna om helhet.

Syftet med denna studie var att ta reda pÄ hur elever i skolÄr tre resonerade kring likhetstecknet nÀr de löste pre- algebraiska uppgifter. För att kunna besvara vÄr frÄgestÀllning valde vi att göra en observationsstudie dÀr eleverna fick sitta i grupp och lösa de olika uppgifter vi givit dem. Sju grupper observerades med tre elever i varje grupp och resultatet frÄn vÄr studie visade att det fanns tre dominerande sÀtt att se pÄ likhetstecknet. Det fanns de elever som sÄg likhetstecknet som ett resultattecken, de som kopplade ihop likhetstecknet med ett rÀknesÀtt och de som menade att likhetstecknet stod för ekvivalens. Vidare visade det sig att de elever som uppfattade likhetstecknet som ett resultattecken eller ett tecken som var kopplat till ett rÀknesÀtt hade svÄrt att lösa flertalet av de uppgifter vi givit dem..

Syftet med vÄrt arbete var att ta reda pÄ hur matematikuppgifter kan vara för att elever ska finna dem motiverande. Den empiriska delen av vÄr undersökning genomfördes med 27 elever i Är 8. Under den första delen av undersökningen lÀt vi eleverna sjÀlva konstruera uppgifter. NÀr de gjorde detta skulle de ha motivationsfaktorerna intresse, utmaning, nyttig och rolig i Ätanke. Den andra delen bestod av att eleverna fick lösa uppgifter som vi konstruerat med elevernas egna uppgifter som grund.

The main purpose of this Master?s thesis is to develop an understanding of why non-users do not use public libraries by studying their information and culture habits and their relationship to public libraries. One of the motivating factors behind this choice is the lack of earlier research on the subject, particularly qualitative research. The theoretical framework is stratified into three associated levels with Brenda Dervin?s sense-making theory on an individual level, Marianne Andersson?s and Dorte Skot-Hansen?s model of the roles of public libraries on an institutional level and Pierre Bourdieu?s theoretical apparatus on a social level.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine how five public libraries reason about the use of social media in their day-to-day work. This thesis aim to answer three research questions: What is the libraries use of social media today? How do libraries look upon their own use of social media? And have the libraries formulated any goals about their use of social media, and what are their thoughts on this? The methodology used in this thesis is a content analysis of the libraries social media and a questionnaire interview which was sent by mail to all of the libraries involved. The theoretical framework for the thesis is a model developed by Jochumsen, Hvenegaard Rasmussen and Skot-Hansen.The results of our study shows that the room of meetings, from the theoretical framework, are the most represented in the content of the social media used by the libraries. The libraries find that social media is a good way to connect and communicate with their users, but they feel that the time they spend on their social media is not enough.Our study also shows that most of the libraries have not formulated any goals for their use of social media, and that they do not have any intentions to do so..

The aim of this thesis is to study 15 and 16-year-olds? perception of libraries. Despite the fact that the youth is seen as a prioritized group when it comes to library work, the focus is often drawn to the children, and there is a risk that teens and their needs are set aside. My focus is the public library and how the young people in my study use it in their leisure time. The theory of the thesis is a model created by Skot-Hansen, Hvenegaard Rasmussen and Jochumsen and it highlights four possible rooms or functions in a library, concerning inspiration, learning, meetings and creativity.

The purpose of this Master?s thesis is to examine and analyze the discourse concerning a new public library in Stockholm. The paper further discusses how this discourse corresponds with what is written about public libraries in a number of national and international documents. To do this I have utilized the discourse theory of Laclau and Mouffe. By using some of their instruments I have established the discourse around a number of keywords.

Recent papers and bills from the Swedish Government deal with the possibilities  of giving all Swedish citizens the possibility of their own creative actlvities in the cultural sector. This work is about where such actlvities shall be placed in order to make them obtainable  for all. As an example of creative work this work takes computer-based music-making. At the public library in Odense, Denmark there is a weil functioning sound workshop where the public gets the opportunity of making music with some assistance from the staff. This work shows  that also in Sweden  the public libraries are the most suitable  institutions  for placing studies for computer-based music-making  for the public depending  on the public libraries'  traditions in adult education.

Resultaten i undersökningen PISA 2003 visar att finska elever Àr bÀttre pÄ problemlösning Àn svenska elever. Detta arbete undersöker huruvida matematikböcker i de bÄda lÀnderna skulle kunna vara en bidragande orsak till skillnaderna. Arbetet Àr begrÀnsat till tvÄ böcker frÄn respektive land. För att identifiera de problemlösande uppgifterna har fyra olika kriterier anvÀnts. Resultatet av granskningen visar att de finska matematikböckerna har betydligt fler problemlösande uppgifter Àn de svenska böckerna.

Syftet med vÄr uppsats Àr att undersöka och jÀmföra vilka strategier eleverna anvÀnder sig av, vid benÀmnda uppgifter i division i Är fem. Detta tillvÀgagÄngssÀtt var för att vi ville fÄ reda pÄ elevernas olika strategier samt hur de tolkar och förstÄr problemet. För att uppnÄ syftet har vi tagit vÄr utgÄngspunkt i följande frÄgestÀllningar; hur utför eleverna den matematiska operationen? Hur tolkar och förstÄr eleverna problemet? VÄr undersökning utgÄr sÄvÀl frÄn en kvantitativ, som frÄn en kvalitativ ansats. Den kvantitativa ansatsen i vÄr undersökning var förstudien, dÀr fick eleverna lösa uppgifter i algoritmer gentemot problemlösning, detta lÄg till grund för huvudstudien som var av kvalitativ ansats.

The purpose of this study was to find out what different groups of visitors do when they are at BorÄs City Library. Three issues were formulated from the purpose and they were: What do users do when they visit the City Library in BorÄs? What occupations do those who visit the library have? What similarities and differences are there in the use of the library depending on the visitors? occupations? To answer these questions a questionnaire was handed out among the visitors at BorÄs City Library. The theory that was used when the material was analyzed comes from the book?GÞr biblioteket en forskel?? and the book is written by Henrik Jochumsen and Casper Hveneegaard Rasmussen.

The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to examine the methods public libraries can use in order to market youth services. It is also a chance to evaluate an untested marketing model adapted to public libraries. Young people are one of the most difficult groups to attract to the library and thus librarians need adequate methods to deal with this problem. We have interviewed librarians, carried out observations and examined documents in accordance to the triangulation method. Before one can begin marketing the libraries one ought to know of how marketing is done and the principles behind it, therefore we have given a simple explanation of marketing and marketing theory.

The aim of this Master's thesis is to study what place public libraries have in local politics, particularly from the point of view of the politicians. To answer this, I have interviewed politicians, participated as a silent observer of a public debate, and studied articles on library politics in newspapers and other press. The results show that politicians in general have a positive view of libraries and good co-operation with library professionals, and that they have a fairly up-to-date view of libraries. They are, however, less interested in library issues in general, and are often complacent with the way things are already running. The newspaper studies show that library issues are usually only discussed when a specific library is somehow in danger.

Syftet med studien ?r att ta reda p? hur sju specialpedagoger verksamma i skolans l?gre ?ldrar beskriver deras organisatoriska f?ruts?ttningar f?r att bedriva h?lsofr?mjande och f?rebyggande elevh?lsoarbete. Vi vill ta reda p? vilka organisatoriska faktorer och arbetsuppgifter som hindrar eller m?jligg?r det h?lsofr?mjande och f?rebyggande arbetet. F?r att besvara syftet har vi tagit avstamp i en kvalitativ metodansats med semistrukturerade intervjuer som metod.

The aim of this essay is to try to find the differences and similarities of two public librariesin the town of Kristinehamn and the rural community of Vara during the year 1994. Especiallyinteresting was if the different political traditions of the two communities -left wing majorityin Kristinehamn and right wing in Vara- have influenced the forming of the public libraries.The comparison contains accounts from the annual reports produced by the libraries between1987 and 1994, a more thorough study of the activities and interviews with decision makers in1994. The interview with the decision makers indicates that there is a distinct difference betweenthe librarians and the rest of the informants, this distinction shows, that in a tight budgetsituation the librarians prefer not to cut down on staff while the other informants actuallyfavour to make cuts on the procedures handled by the librarians. The general opinionthough, is that they all agree that the role of the public libraries is to defend democratic rights.The final conclusion is that the material of this essay supports the opinion that the idea ofpublic libraries is stronger than the political differences in Vara and Kristinehamn..
