Chunks and Tasks is a programming model based on the C ++ programming language. This programming model is used for electronic structure calculations, among other things.The purpose of this project is to improve the CHT-MPI software library for Chunks and tasks, so that calculations of matrix-matrix multiplications are performed more efficiently than they do with the existing software library. The software library is based on the work stealing method, which is a method the software library for Chunks and Tasks uses for the distribution of the calculation work. The considered way to improve the software library is by modifying the work stealing method in a way that makes the distribution of calculation work happen in a more efficient way , which will lead to calculations performed faster than before.Two different modifications of the work stealing method were tested and it led to two new methods, Method 1 and Method 2, which distributed the calculation work differently. Method 1 did not give results that were compatible with the theory, since the calculation time with this method was much longer than the previous method.

The title of the paper aims at a comment by one of the students during an interview. It reflects how most of the students experience the lunches in a specific school where the investigation is made. The question of pedagogical lunches has always interested me. Here I have used a method called the Grounded theory. I carried out a qualitative investigation with a number of methods such as interviews and participating observations.

Uppsatsen behandlar fra?gan om musiklekens betydelse fo?r de yngsta barnen (1-3 a?r) i fo?rskolan. I just denna ma?lgrupp a?r gra?nserna fo?r omsorg, lek och la?rande ta?mligen flytande. Den svenska fo?rskolan har en la?ng tradition av att anva?nda sig av musikaliska aktiviteter i verksamheten vilka kan uppfattas som tagna fo?r givna.

The aim of this qualitative deep interview study was to gain deeper understanding of single immigrant mothers´life situation. Grounded Theory was the method of analysis. Repeated interviews with five immigrant women from different parts of the world showed that women were in need of wider and deeper social networks in order to reconstruct their identities. Social support and social networks benefit, not only reconstruction of identity, but also personal well-being. Yet it is difficult for them to create social networks in the new country, because of single motherhood.

En människas religiösa övertygelser påverkas starkt av hennes uppväxtmiljö och relation till föräldrarna. I ett alltmer heterogent samhälle står såväl den kristna kyrkan som kristna familjer inför utmaningar som tidigare generationer inte har mött. Förevarande arbete avser belysa kristna föräldrars reflektioner kring och erfarenheter av föräldraskap i allmänhet, samt andlig vägledning av barnen.Studien har utgått från ett bekvämlighetsurval med svenska och engelskspråkiga deltagare, och datainsamlingen har skett genom en kvalitativ epostenkät. Innehållsliga teman har identifierats, och deras inbördes förhållanden undersökts, med hjälp av grounded theory och frekvensanalys.Kristna föräldrars uppfattning om föräldraskap harmonierar i stora drag med rådande normer i samhället. Man anser vidare att kristna föräldrar har ett ansvar att vägleda sina barn in i den kristna tron, även om diskursen kring andlig vägledning är något tvetydig.

This paper describes what some 9th grade students think of their sex education in school, especially when it comes to gender, sexual identity, norms and deviation. I have been using group interviews in two different schools, two groups per school. The result of the students' answers have been analysed on the basis of queer theory focusing on gender and sexual identity. The result of the study shows that the students consider their sexual education to be lacking, especially when it comes to gender, sexual identity, norms and deviation. Another conclusion of the analysis is that a sex education grounded in queer theory would be more inclusive..

I dagens samhälle, med förändringar i organisation och arbetsätt, verkar de sociala behoven hos personalen få ökande utrymme. På allt fler ställen, till exempel i tidningsartiklar, platsannonser och på hemsidor ser man att företag erbjuder sin personal sociala aktiviteter utanför arbetet. I denna rapport redovisas en undersökning där syftet med de sociala aktiviteterna har undersökts. Dessutom beskrivs den sociala arbetsmiljön och den upplevda effekten av aktiviteterna, ur både personalens och ledningens perspektiv. För att kunna undersöka syftet med dessa har hjälp tagits av tidigare forskning som bland annat organisationsteorier, gruppteorier samt systemteorier.

 AbstractSystem methodology is in the very heart of system development, it is a crucial part of how you define your work, how you choose to approach the actual problem at hand and how to solve it. Researchers in the system development field has shown that not all methods in theory are in compliance with how it is practiced by the companies who use them. In our thesis we have studied a larger international IT- company and one of their local offices in Sweden, who some years back changed their system development method from a more traditional to an agile one. Our aim of this study has been to establish whether both of these methods has differed between theory and in actual use, and if so, why this has occurred and what the underlying rationality might have been to promote this change. Our questions that we sought to answer were; 1.

This paper exposes the problems and challenges organizations face when integrating aged systems, web based systems and web services. The paper focuses on how people with different titles in an organization experience systems integration and the factors that contribute to project failure or success. The research methodology used in this is Grounded Theory and the resulting theory of this paper has taken form through the coding of transcribed interviews, which have gone through a constant comparing to other theories in the area of interest, mostly articles about success factors in system integration. The resulting outcome is a success model aimed to describe the underlying indicators to achieve project success.The success model consists of three factors that contribute to success in integration projects. The factors are: globalization, governance and balance.

The purpose of this thesis is to define and theorise willingness-to-support as a possible measurement of corporate reputation. The knowledge production in this thesis is done through reasoning with companies to gain a deeper understanding of the social world and the respondents? view of their reality. Grounded theory is used as an inspiration for conducting the research. A qualitative method is used in the form of semi-structured interviews with six companies in three different business sectors.

The aim of this thesis is to examine the archivist's professional role in public authorities and discuss if, and in what way, the profession is effected by the new swedish process oriented archival description system. The study focuses on swedish authorities and does not make any international comparisons with other institutions. Neither does it investigate archivists workingin the private sector, but centers on public institutions.The survey is performed in five swedish public authorities, using interviews and observations. Grounded theory is used as a method initially in the purpose of keeping an open mark towards the object of study. The initial results led on to questions about how well the archivists perceived that communication within the authorities served, and how this in turn prepossessed their work situation and the professional roles in which they found themselves.

Public opinion has increasingly become a political force in the European integration process. At present, it appears that the people?s attitude towards the European integration is relatively skeptical. How can we expect that the attitude towards European integration will evolve in the future? This paper tests the extent to which diffusion theory can serve as a model to explain the development of attitudes to European integration policy in Sweden from 1999 until 2009.

Sandberg, Karin (2007) Vad händer i klassrummet? En observationsstudie av samspelet mellan lärare och elever. (What happens in the classroom? Observations of the interaction between teachers and students.) Skolutveckling och ledarskap, Lärarutbildningen 60p, Malmö högskola. Syftet med arbetet är att studera vilka situationer, beteenden och/eller strategier i klassrummet som förefaller vara avgörande för om lektionen ger upphov till uppmärksamma, engagerade och delaktiga gymnasieelever. Dessutom prövas en analysmetod, Grundad teori (Grounded theory), för att se om detta är en möjlig och tillämpar analysmetod för att uppnå syftet.

Inledning: Frågeställningar runt sexualitet är ofta ett känsligt ämne och kan därmed vara svåra att hantera i psykoterapi. Många psykoterapeuter upplever sig försiktiga avseende ämnesområdet, båda i att samtala, använda sexuella termer, hantera känslor av attraktion både i det verkliga mötet samt i överföring och motöverföring.  Samtidigt har sexualiteten som företeelse försvunnit ur kliniska falldragningar.Syftet med studien var att belysa om och hur erfarna psykoterapeuter var beredda att möta patienters behov av att bearbeta sin sexualitet under psykoterapeutiska möten.Metod: Utifrån ett bekvämlighetsurval genomfördes semistrukturerade intervjuer med sju legitimerade psykologer/psykoterapeuter, som analyserades utifrån riktlinjerna för klassisk grounded theory. Metoden valdes för att belysa ett subjektivt upplevt huvudproblem och hur psykoterapeuterna hanterade detta.Resultatet visade att psykoterapeuterna var beredda att bearbeta sexualitet med sina patienter om behovet fanns, utan att belasta patienten mer än vad han/hon tålde. För att göra detta möjligt menade psykoterapeuterna att det var viktigt att vara lyhörd och intuitiv i situationen.

This master thesis examines online reading groups with swedish participants. The aim is, by way of introduction, to investigate what kind of online reading groups that exist and how they work. The overall question of the thesis is: how do a conversation about books on the Internet look like? The theory used is Grounded Theory and this is a methodology which has influenced the hole structure of the study. Grounded Theory apply that issues and hypothesis must be created from the collected material, and the author collected for this reason material in the form of survey answers, email-conversations, blogmaterial and articles to draw up exact issues based on this material.The material was sorted into four different categories; social reading, reading fellowship, virtual freedom and anonymity and the issues were formulated according to this categories.
