English is an international and global language that students, regardless of mother tongue, encounter in their everyday lives. In Sweden, students are introduced to English teaching in year 1, 2 or 3, and in some cases, year 4. English teaching can sometimes be problematic when the language of instruction often consists of Swedish, which for second language students becomes a challenge to acquire new skills in a week language.The study aims to examine, with a qualitative study, how pedagogues plan and implements English teaching in first grade with students whose mother tongue are other than Swedish. Further, the aim was to examine how pedagogues say they relate to the fact that second language pupils participating in English lessons and if they think it affects their English teaching.The conclusions is that the pedagogues has probably not been problematized the phenomenon examined and say they do not adapt their teaching.

Total amount of words: 15 269.In this essay, the purpose is to examine the personalization of Swedish national coaches during international championships in the Swedish tabloids. Research shows that a leader nowadays is representative for her organization. Therefore it could be assumed that the way the national coach is portrayed can have some kind of effect on the public opinion about the team as a unit and their sport federation in total. This essay is a quantitative study of the sport tabloids Sportbladet och SPORT-Expressen during three international championships: Euro 2012 in football, WC 2013 in ice hockey and Euro 2014 in handball. We have studied the coverage of the national coaches Erik Hamrén, Pär Mårts and Ola Lindgren/Staffan Olsson in contrast to the coverage of their teams in total.The main results are that the national coaches are mentioned in every second article that is written about the national teams during the championships. They are mainly portrayed in a neutral way, even though the coverage of them is affected by the results in the matches.

Tuberkulos är en mycket smittsam sjukdom som överförs via luften och ses som ett globalt problem trots att tuberkulosfallen har minskat. Syftet med C-uppsatsen var att belysa smittspridning, sjukvården och sjuksköterskans roll i nosocomial tuberkulos. Metoden som användes var en systematisk litteraturstudie där huvudresultat från artiklarna sattes in under subkategorier och kategorier. Resultatet innefattar 15 vetenskapliga artiklar där sju använde sig av kvalitativa metoder och åtta av kvantitativa metoder. Huvudresultatet redovisar att sjuksköterskor har ett stort ansvar i att bekämpa tuberkulos och att det är större risk att drabbas av tuberkulos vid arbete inom sjukvården.

Kompetensområdet sjuksköterskans arbetsledning av omvårdnadsarbetet är ett tämligen outforskat ämne. Mer kunskap om läkare- och undersköterskors syn på vad som innefattas i sjuksköterskans arbetsledning skulle kunna bidra till ett bättre samarbete som på sikt kan gynna omvårdnadsarbetets utveckling och därigenom även patienten. Syftet med studien är att få ökad kunskap om läkare och underskö-terskors syn på vad som innefattas i kompetensområdet sjuksköterskans arbets-ledning av omvårdnadsarbetet. Metoden som användes var en empirisk intervju-undersökning där urvalet bestod utav fyra läkare och fyra undersköterskor. Mate-rialet analyserades med innehållsanalys, inspirerad av Burnard (1991).

Enligt arbetsmiljölagen ska arbetsgivare undersöka, genomföra och följa upp verksamheten, enligt det systematiska arbetsmiljöarbetet ska detta arbete ske naturligt i det dagliga. Den mest använda modellen inom kartläggningen av psykosocial arbetsmiljö var krav-kontroll-stöd modellen, det har dock föreslagits att det var viktigt att ta hänsyn till ledningsförfaranden för att kunna förstå arbetsrelaterade risker bättre. Forskningsfrågorna i denna studie var hur ledare arbetade med den psykosociala arbetsmiljön och hur det arbetet förmodades påverka medarbetarnas hälsa. Syftet med studien är att ta reda på detta. I denna studie deltog 8 personer med arbetsledarbefattning, erfarenheten varierade mellan 4-20 år, antalet personer de ansvarade över varierade mellan 1-42 personer.

Viktigt för ett bra gruppklimat är bland annat gruppens kommunikationsmönster och tidigare framgångar, något som är beroende av tydliga mål för arbetet. Tidigare forskning har påvisat ett positivt samband mellan gruppens kollektiva efficacy och dess prestationer. Området kollektiv efficacy är relativt välforskat, dock tycks frågan om vilka faktorer som har betydelse för kollektiv efficacy i arbetsgruppen stå relativt obesvarad. Inom området dominerar kvantitativ metod, varpå en kvalitativ ansats bedömdes lämplig i denna undersökning. Syftet med denna undersökning var att undersöka vilka faktorer som har betydelse för individens upplevelse av kollektiv efficacy i arbetsgruppen.

Kalmar Municipality has in 2008-2010 made an effort to educate managers on gender, with the goal of mainstreaming gender into public activities so that all citizens should feel safe in that treatment and services are designed and resources are distributed equally to both sexes living conditions and needs.

Bakomliggande intresset för denna uppsats utgår ifrån frågan vilka motiv kommuner har för regionalt turismsamarbete. Samarbete har uppmärktsammats inom turismutveckling för att konkurrensen mellan destinationer har blivit global. Teorier om motiv för regionalt turismsamarbete har verklighetsprövats och jämförts mellan kommunerna Karlskrona och Karlshamn. Intervjuer med respektive turistchef genomfördes och teorierna som valts som utgångspunkt skiljde sig inte i allt för stor utmärkelse från resultatet. Resultat för motiv till regionalt turismsamarbete uppvisade att främsta motiven var; ekonomiska besparingar, utöka regionen med fler attraktioner samt för att skapa konkurrensfördelar gentemot andra regioner.

Background: Following an increased awareness concerning social and environmental aspectsin society, more enterprises establish sustainability reports in order to inform theirstakeholders about the company?s sustainability duties. A previous study indicates that themetal sector is enjoying relatively limited increases in business opportunities and/or financialvalue of corporate responsibility. Another study suggests that there is a gap in expectationsbetween producers and users of sustainability reports due to an uncertainty regarding whatinformation such reports should contain and what audience such reports should target. Thequestion is whether or not a gap in expectations concerning sustainability reporting is acontributing factor to the limited increases in financial value in the metal sector?Purpose: The purpose of the study was to examine how a sustainability report should becarried out by a company in the steel industry given what information the company and thestakeholders consider as essential in a sustainability report.Methodology: To accomplish the purpose of the study, a deductive approach was used due tothe availability of suitable theories.

A design methodology to mitigate timing problems due to long wire delays is proposed. The timing problems are taking care of at architecture level instead of layout level in this design method so that no change is needed when the whole design goes to backend design. Hence design iterations are avoided by using this design methodology. The proposed design method is based on STARI architecture, and a novel initialization mechanism is proposed in this paper. Low frequency global clock is used to synchronize the communication and PLLs are used to provide high frequency working clocks.
