Genom förankring i relevant litteratur, och en intervjustudie med tre lärare, svarar denna uppsats i resultatdelen på forskningsfrågan: hur lärare i grundskolan beskriver att de arbetar med läroplanens (Lpo 94), värdegrundsmål. Den visar att värdegrunden i det demokratiska uppdraget har stor betydelse för elevernas samhällsutveckling. Uppsatsen påpekar att samtalen kring värdegrunden måste generera handling. Vidare påvisas vikten av ständig reflektion över vad värdegrunden innebär. I diskussionsdelen besvaras uppsatsens syfte att: förstå innebörder av läroplanens (Lpo 94), värdegrundsmål i skolans praktik.

Studien grundar sin handling på syftet, att ur ett intersektionellt perspektiv undersöka på vilka bevekelsegrunder föräldrar väljer att placera sina barn i fristående skolor. Studien har inspirerats av en fallstudie eftersom både enkäter och intervjuer har använts. Valet av skola där undersökningen har ägt rum gjordes utifrån ett stratifierat urval, det vill säga ett slumpmässigt val men inom vissa ramar. Informanterna till intervjuerna valdes ut med hjälp av ett subjektivt urval. När det gäller intervjuerna, användes semistrukturerade intervjuer, det är intervjuer där respondenterna kan tala fritt om den ställda frågan.

The purpose of our qualitative study is to investigate how the caretakers, in the elderly care,interpret and manage the issue of alcohol problems in elderly people. We have beenperforming semi-structured interviews on 9 people, on different levels in the elderly care.There were 3 elderly care managers, 1 nurse, 1 assistance administrator and 4 auxiliarynurses, who all, at some level, work with alcohol problems in elderly people. Thoseinterviews were performed singularly, with one exception: we interviewed an elderly caremanager and her 2 auxiliary nurses at the same time. To analyse our empirics, we have usedthe theories of Power and Ageism. Our study shows that the auxiliary nurses, who are theones who must deal with these problems, have great difficulties to perform their work becausethey have no qualified knowledge about alcohol problems.

Statistics of occupational injuries show that bricklayers are among the most exposed, with heavy lifting by far the most common cause of long-term sick leave. Prefabricated brick beams create yet another risk of injuries that can be prevented by auxiliary equipment or alternative solutions. From articles, interviews with masons and from a survey carried out in conjunction with this report, it appears that there are frequently difficulties in the use of available means for lifting and handling. Previous studies on the subject of transverse reinforcement in masonry beams indicate a viable method for bridging large openings in masonry walls. This bachelor thesis delves into whether the idea could be realized in today's brick construction with a view to improving occupational health and safety.

Several studies have investigated the relationship between different measures of innovative activity, such as patent statistics and R&D expenditures and some have looked deeper into the differences between large and small firms regarding number of patents issued per employee or per R&D dollar. In this paper, the objective is to find out if there are any indications of a barrier to entry (due to economical factors, lack of knowledge etc) for small firms to get into the field of patent handling. The approach is to first set up a hypothesis based on some simple assumptions about how firms would make decisions about whether to apply for a patent or not and thereafter use econometric methods in an empirical investigation. The data used for this study are figures on number of employees, number of patents granted and R&D expenditures for the Swedish firms in the pulp and paper industry. The main conclusion is that, based on the analysis of the data from this rather limited group of firms, no such barrier can be seen..

Företagskultur ses ganska oproblematiskt som det lim som håller samman företagen men nya studier lyfter fram företagskulturen som mer komplicerad och mer som ett medel att styra personalen. Samtidigt pekar forskningen på att den utveckling som det moderna samhället, och med det arbetet, genomgått skapat en förskjutning av ansvar i många verksamheter där den enskilda individen fått ta mer och större ansvar. Samhällets utveckling har även givit att fler kundstyrda verksamheter skapats där individen lätt hamnar i kläm mellan företag och kund. Genom en kvalitativ undersökning genomfördes en studie bestående av sex semistrukturerade intervjuer med syftet att undersöka hur anställda i kundstyrda verksamheter upplever ansvar i sina verksamheter. Analysarbetet genererade en huvudtolkning bestående av temat Ansvar genom handling som genom bekräftelse blir behjälpligt i individens identitetsskapande på arbetsplatsen baserat på de tre temana det handlande ansvaret, det uttalade ansvaret och det individuella ansvaret vilka belyser individens upplevelse av ansvar på arbetsplatsen..

Communication is a part of everyday life. The more sensitive information we handle, the more interesting the question around security of your information becomes. There are two ways of handling security around the information you want to communicate, either you control the means by which you are communicating. Or you control the way you communicate, making you able to use existing communication channels. Existing methods within cryptography enables two parties to communicate information securely.

AbstractThe purpose of this bachelor thesis is to describe the use of artificial insemination (AI) in sheep and discuss the possibilities for AI in Sweden. Male and female fertility, heat detection, semen handling and insemination techniques in sheep are described. Advantages and disadvantages of AI are discussed. In order to achieve genetic progress it is important with well planned and implemented breeding programs. The Swedish Sheep Recording Scheme and computer software from Elitlamm are the basis for sheep breeding in Sweden.

Ca 19 000 barn under 15 år blir varje år polisanmälda för brott. Syftet med den här uppsatsen har varit att undersöka vad som händer med dessa barn, vilka insatser som görs för dem från olika myndigheters sida. Får de någon reaktion från samhället på sin brottsliga handling? Vilken är bakgrunden till att man valt att införa en straffbarhetsålder på 15 år och finns det något som talar för att den behöver ändras? Innan 15 års ålder har man inte har uppnått tillräcklig mognad för att ha ansvarsförmåga. Därför straffas inte dem under 15 år.

During the last decades the questions about environment and social ethics, so called Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), have increased in importance. It is in the business world highly important for the corporations to show the public that the company care about these questions. A common approach nowadays is to outsource productions to other countries resulting in that suppliers have a great part of the work with CSR. CSR as a trend is a rather new phenomenon, and therefore interesting to see how the corporations handle these questions and how the approach looks like. The purpose with this study is to show how corporations which are recommended by CSR organizations for their handling regarding these questions approach CSR and how the work look like in the supply chain.

Detta utvecklingsarbete genomfördes under vår slutpraktik på två olika högstadieskolor i Norrbotten. Syftet med vårt arbete var att se om vi genom samtal med eleverna kunde väcka reflekterande tankar rörande deras beteende mot andra. Vår metod gick ut på att i halv- och helklass samtala om vissa utvalda områden rörande etik och moral. För att se om vi uppnått det syfte vi eftersträvat har vi använt oss av loggböcker, enkät och intervjuer. Resultatet vi fick visade att eleverna upplevde detta utvecklingsarbete som viktigt och att de kunde se vissa positiva förändringar i klassens beteende.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka det lärande som sker i fritidshemmet, hur det sker samt elevernas uppfattningar om skillnaderna kring lärandet i skolan gentemot fritidshemmet. För att få ökad förståelse av lärandet i fritidsverksamheten sökte vi svar på frågorna: 1. Vad uppfattar/upplever eleverna på fritidshemmet att de lär sig under sin vistelse där? 2. Hur uppfattar eleverna att det lärande som sker i fritidshemmet går till? 3.

The client, Senselogic, had noticed an increased demand for an e-commerce system integrated into its product, SiteVision, something that did not previously exist. Senselogic wanted to integrate a third-party system to manage e-commerce. The problem was that there were very many e-commerce solutions to choose from. In order to select the best system it was necessary to evaluate the e-commerce systems and compare them to each other. To identify the elements that has to be included in an e-commerce system a study of literature was conducted.

The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to examine the handling and shelving of graphic novels and adult-comics in Swedish public libraries, in order to find out if this type of literature is prioritized in the same way as other forms of literature. The study was conducted by photographing the Hci/uHci shelves at ten different public libraries to give an objective view of the shelving to later be analysed and compared. Inquiry sheets were sent to the photographed libraries in order to get the librarians view of their own comic book shelves and collections. We found that the state of the comic-shelves differed from library to library according to how interested and committed the librarians were. New research areas in the field of Library and Information Science are discussed and questions are raised about the future of graphic novels and adult-comic-books in libraries, about their place in the libraries and about how librarians and the users knowledge of this media can be improved..

At this point seamen have a lot of tasks of administrative character, beyond the traditional tasks aboard a ship. Due to the new conventions that are formed by IMO, more requirements are added which often lead to time consuming administrative tasks and documentation that should be spent on activities which are contributing to the ships safety. The issue has been observed by IMO that has through BIMCO done a study with the aim to identify and reduce administrative burdens at sea.The primary aim of this study is to find out if safety officers aboard Swedish ferries consider that SOLAS Chapter III, 8.3 och 19.5 regulations are administrative burdens, restricted to muster lists and documentation of training aboard the ship.The secondary questions to the study are if it is possible to remove, combine or change the documents and how much time can be saved by doing this. The question about timesaving could not be answered, because the values were scattered and could not be used for further investigation. The observed values were accumulated by a survey and the result indicated that safety officers did not experience the two regulations as administrative burdens.
