The purpose is to analyze if the students have any use of their computer education at a senior high school level or if there is a demand for them to proceed studying. Does the students background have any importance or is it their own motivation that makes the student advance to higher education.In this report we ask ourselves the question, if the students have any use of the knowledge gained at senior high school in computer studies at a higher level. Do the students have any chance for employment based on their senior high school grades in computer studies after graduation?  Do the schools that follow the senior high school guidelines within programming and databases give these students an advantage towards those that have not received the same fundamental education?The method used for the survey is a group questionnaire.  The questionnaire was distributed at one and the same time and then collected to examine the results. The survey results showed that students who seek work based only on their senior high school grades, received only a temporary position for different lengths of time.

The pupose of this study is to qualitatively study how teachers at a high school work with the schools demokratic mission under the management by objectives and what the policy document says and how the students can partcipate in different issues. My question fomulations are: What does it say in the governing documents about schools democratic mission and student influence? How do teachers concretely work to implement the values of democracy and student influence? How can the class councils used as part of the school's democratic mission? The theoretical frame of the study is about the school democracy mission and the possibilities and limits.  Futhermore a brief review of the fundamental values of the school are presented, followed by how the democratic process works.I used the qualitative analysis in order to find a lot of information about a small amount. Its strength is to convey a lot of information about a small number of observations and if the material is small in size.

Denna uppsats undersöker hur genus skapas och iscensätts i Sveriges Televisions julkalendrar 1996 och 2007 samt om det skett någon förändring över tid vad gäller skapandet och framställandet. Detta undersöks genom en semiotisk analys samt med queerteori som teoretisk utgångspunkt. Undersökningen visar att julkalendrarna i många fall bidrar till ett vidmakthållande av stereotypa könsroller. Man kan dock urskilja en förändring mellan de båda kalendrarna då den senast sända ger ett intryck av att producenten gjort medvetna val för att undvika ett reproducerande av könsstereotyperna..

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka organisationsklimatet i en frivillig organisation och dess koppling till psykosocial hälsa. En kvalitativ ansats har använts och empirin samlades in med hjälp av personliga intervjuer med tolv medarbetare.Människans möjlighet att utöva kontroll över sin situation är av fundamental betydelse för hälsan, vilket innebär att delaktighet och inflytande på arbetsplatsen är viktiga faktorer för god arbetsmiljö. Samtidigt finns det studier som visar att delaktighet i kombination med lösa strukturer och brister i ansvarfördelningen leder till hög sjukfrånvaro. Uppsatsens teoretiska referensram innebär sammanfattningsvis följande; När delaktighet åtföljs av tydliga strukturer, tydligt ledarskap samt välutvecklad kommunikation innebär det goda förutsättningar för psykosocial hälsa hos medarbetarna.Resultatet i denna uppsats visar att intervjupersonerna upplever att organisationsklimatet är delaktigt med inslag av otydlighet när det gäller ledarskap och organisationsstruktur. De menar att det är snällt och trivsamt men med en viss konflikträdsla.

This study aimed at supplementing the Swedish National Agency for Education?s (Skolverket) study (2006) I enlighet med skolans värdegrund? which investigated whether textbooks in various school subjects went against the fundamental values in the curricula Lpf94 and Lpo 94. Due to this study?s supplementing intention, this study uses a similar title as Skolverket. By adding a new subject (Swedish) to Skolverket?s study, this study also strived to show how discrimination might be present in other subjects than the ones Skolverket involved in their study.

Jag har gjort en diskursanalys utav tre läromedel i svenska avsedda för gymnasieskolans B-kurs.Analysens syfte är att se hur läromedlen i gymnasieskolans svenskundervisning tar upp utomvästerländska författare, såsom afrikanska, sydamerikanska och asiatiska författare, med utgångspunkt i postkolonial teori. Hur motiveras de utomvästerländska författarnas medverkan i läromedlen, huruvida upprätthålls den världsbild som har västerlandets överlägsenhet som utgångsläge i val av författare och verk?Min slutsats blir att läromedlen inte uppfyller de krav läroplanen ställer på dem när det gäller att lyfta in ett internationellt perspektiv i undervisningen. Jag anser även att det sätt, som läromedelsförfattarna många gånger tar upp utomvästerländska författare på, bidrar till att maktstrukturerna i samhället vidmakthålls..

Examensarbetet gjordes i samarbete med Maria Westerlind AB och målsättningen var att ta fram femton modeller inför våren 2011, varav tre har valts ut för närmare analys. Konstruktionerna gjordes i Lectras programvara Modaris, dels från färdiga modeller, dels från befintliga grunder. Rapporten beskriver tillvägagångssättet för konstruktionen av de tre utvalda modellerna och redovisar resultaten av de förstaprover som sytts upp baserat på dessa konstruktioner. Utifrån detta har en jämförelse gjorts mellan för- och nackdelar för de olika tillvägagångssätten och slutsatsen blir att det är svårt att föredra det ena före det andra eftersom tillvägagångssättet bör väljas baserat på modellen som skall konstrueras men att upprättandet av ett bibliotek med konstruktionsunderlag skulle kunna vara användbart i framtiden..

This study aims to compare two ethnographies of organizational culture ? one from the discipline of Social Anthropology and one from the discipline of Organizational Studies ? considering their purpose, their method, and their concept of culture. Despite big similarities, or perhaps thanks to the similarities, some fundamental differences are made visible. The discipline of Organizational Studies has, compared to that of Social Anthropology, regarding the research method being used, less focus on, and less participation in, the informal social life of the organizational culture of the study. Regarding the concept of culture the Organizational Studies consider culture containing more of unity, stability and clear boundaries, compared to Social Anthropology.

In a society where adults set the conditions for children?s play and generate modern and at times technically advanced products, fundamental characteristics like simplicity, opportunities for motor skills training and learning tend to be neglected. Owing to this, the Linköping-based company Time In wants to introduce a new multifunctional product, which differs from other products in shape and function and lives up to the often overlooked, basic characteristics in a toy.With Time In as the assigner, the purpose of this master thesis has been to use simple means to produce a "learning by playing" concept. Since Time In sells toys and products suitable for children in nurseries and preschools, the development of the products has therefore included a study of nursery and preschool environments.The thesis has been carried out within the Product Design subject area at the Department of Management and Engineering at Linköping University. Concept development has been done in three phases: the Preparation phase, the Design phase and the Presentation phase.

One fundamental principle in Swedish contract law is that passive acceptance does not constitute a binding acceptance of an offer. Still, business owners use the consumers unknowing of this, and form offers saying passivity will lead to a binding agreement. Business owners are thus trying to ?negatively bind? the consumer to agreements. There are rules prohibiting this kind of actions in the Swedish marketing law (MFL).In order to find out what constitutes this forbidden kind of agreement-entering according to the Swedish Market Court, an analysis of seven cases settled between 2002-2009 and concerning consumers in these situations, is made.
