Syfte:Denna studie syftar till att undersöka om, och i så fall hur, barns förmåga att skriva texter förändras när de får använda datorn som verktyg jämfört med när de skriver för hand, samt att analysera skrivförmåga utifrån ett genusperspektiv. I den kultur vi lever i idag är datorn en självklar artefakt för vuxna människor. Den är på väg in i skolan men har ännu inte blivit en självklar del av skolans kultur. Trageton (2005) förordar att barn borde få skriva sig till läsning men på grund av motoriska svårigheter att skriva och forma bokstäver för hand tar undervisningen ofta sin början med läsning istället. Detta väckte idén om att ta reda på hur datorn påverkar förutsättningarna för en god skrivutveckling.

Earlier studies of musculoskeletal problems with milkers working in milking parlour operators have shown that it is a physically demanding occupation. The extremities that are most exposed are neck, shoulders, hands and wrists. Those systems that have been studied in present cases are fishbone and some tandem barns. There have been changes in the working environment during the past ten years. The mechanisation has been developed for the better with automatically removers of the milking units and vertically adjustable floors in almost every daily milking barn. In other hand the milk production are more industrialised and more related to stress today.

This essay analyses the arguments of The Swedish Government Official Report 2008:88 which proposes that the Swedish law (SFS) should shift from promulgation in print to elec-tronic promulgation on a Website. I have studied two aspects of the arguments in the text. On the one hand, the Inquiry?s description of how things might become if their proposal becomes effectuated and, on the other hand, how the present situation is described in the text. The theory I have used is called A Garbage Can Model of Organizational Choice, which pictures organizations as often irrational in dealing with problems, solutions and decision making.

The goal of this Master thesis has on the one hand been to create a simulation environment for robots, where not only the simulations in this work can be performed, but also similar robot simulations, and on the other hand to study regulators that can increase the possibilities of rejecting disturbances on an industrial robot. The robot model used has three degrees of freedom, corresponding to the three main links on ABB:s IRB7600. The simulation environment is created using Matlab, Simulink, and Robotics Toolbox. It is constructed in a general way and can be used for simulations of other robot objects created in Robotics Toolbox. A gain scheduling is added to the LQ-regulator, where the feedback matrix is varied depending on the arm position in the workspace.

The focus of this thesis is on social workers? knowledge in assessing and making decisions in child welfare cases. The primary aim is to identify what skills or knowledge social workers find most useful within child welfare agencies in Swedish municipalities. Six different types of knowledge, social policy and the approach of child welfare cases are perspectives considered in the analysis. The interviews with social workers were held in three agencies in southern Sweden, in 2014.

The purpose of this study is to examine discussions held by politicians and experts concerning the concepts Christian ethics and western humanism. I will examine the argumentation for and against the concepts Christian ethics and western humanism, which finally ended in a resolution of using these concepts in the curriculum Lpo/Lpf 94. In this study I am using a qualitative method to examine how different opinions and views are expressed in two different committee reports, initiated by the Ministry of Education, as well as protocols from the debate in the Swedish Parliament.I will attempt to elucidate the political views of these concepts, which will become an integral part of the base of values in the curriculum. Results show that the politicians are unanimous regarding the content itself, but disagree of the thought of establishing the base of values in Christian ethics. But the discussion is ambiguous because the opinion of the politicians is that the concepts, especially Christian ethics, stand for general human values.

Uppdraget gick ut på att utveckla ett koncept åt företaget Emstone ABs hydrauliskaspräckkapslar, som i dagsläget inte har kommit ut på marknaden. Denna produktspräcker berg genom hydraultryck och riktad spräckverkan. Den ses som ett ekologiskhållbart alternativ till den traditionella sprängningen med dynamit. Eftersom dennateknik är så pass ny finns i dagsläget ingen konstruktion som enkelt kan transporterakapslar med en hand. Denna rapport bidrar till att redogöra för och analyserakonstruktionen av en ställning som lätt och smidigt kan transportera 6 kapslar med enhand.

BakgrundEstetiska aktiviteter hör till verksamheten i förskolan. Det handlar om att barnen ska få rikligt med möjligheter att uttrycka sig på, där många sinnen involveras. Enligt forskarna bör musikaktiviteterna genomsyras av musikens grundelement som bildar en helhetsupplevelse. Barns musikaliska och språkliga utveckling går hand i hand och berikar varandra under gynnsamma förhållanden. Pedagogens förhållningssätt är viktigt, det handlar om att skapa förutsättningar för lärandesituationer i stimulerande lärandemiljöer.SyfteSyftet med vår undersökning är att studera hur pedagoger arbetar med planerade musikaktiviteter i en musikförskola.MetodI vår undersökning har vi använt oss av metoderna observation och fältintervju.

I de flesta fall har revisorn gott stöd i lagar och rekommendationer om tillvägagångssättet vid sin granskning. Det finns dock situationer där revisorn måste förlita sig på riktlinjer, exempelvis vid granskningen av företagens prognoser. Det uppstår här ett problem för hur revisorn skall gå tillväga då prognoser karaktäriseras av subjektiva bedömningar. Vi vill belysa detta utifrån vår frågeställning: Vilket tillvägagångssätt har revisorn för att bedöma revisionsrisken vid granskningen av företagens redovisning och dess prognoser? För att besvara denna fråga har vi intervjuat fyra kvalificerade revisorer från tre olika revisionsbolag av varierande storlek.

The aim of this project is to examine the needs and problems that exists amongst homeless people and to develop a solution that will help them in their everyday life. Since the homeless are a relatively large vulnerable group i Sweden, their everyday lives could be made easier in many ways.A clear definition of the target group is put together to create a good starting point. What state and help orginazations do to help the homelss and the society?s view of the homeless is also relevant and has been documented. Four personal stories have been put together to desicribe cases of clear problems existing in everyday life.Several interesting problems has been defined from the research and acceptance in the communtiy, desire to be seen and heard and a lack of confidence were the main needs.

The purpose of this study is to find out how the non-governmental shelters for battered women identify themselves in context of their dependence and cooperation with the municipality. Their legitimacy is also investigated which is based on, along with identity, key concepts of the neoinstitutional organization theory. The mutual dependency between these two actors is problematized along with the question of who is responsible for assisting the battered women, and who takes on the responsibilities for them. The empirical result that is analyzed was gathered through three qualitative semi structured interviews with employed personnel at three different battered women?s shelters in three different municipalities in Sweden.

The aim of this thesis is to develop two idealtypes of politics to help serve as instruments in understanding and analysing the view on politics held by top civil servants in the municipality of Lund Sweden. The two ideal types developed here are symbolic sense making politics and rational instrumental politics. These two ideal types were applied to material from a qualitative survey to help bring out clear results and to help with the interpretation of the material The results of the study showed that the two idealtypes could not help to clearly categorize the civil servants views on management by objectives. But while categorizing the top civil servants views the important features of policy documents the ideal types were helpful. By using the ideal types I came to the conclusion that the view on policy documents was mainly characterized by sense making politics.

The purpose of this essay is on the one hand to study Sub-Saharan Africa from a comparative perspective to analyze different explanations to democratization and on the other hand to compare the democratization of the most interesting cases found. To fulfil the purpose, the essay is divided into a quantitative and a qualitative part. The quantitative part starts from four different theories of democratization and thus has a deductive theory testing approach. We intend to use four theories: the modernization theory, the theory of stable institutions as a prerequisite for democratization, political culture and ethnic diversity as an obstacle for democratization, to test how they correspond with the democratic situation in Africa, and at the same time find deviant cases. The second part of the study takes its start from an inductive perspective and examines institutions and citizens of the deviant cases.

Det är både fysiskt och mentalt krävande att vårda en döende människa. Närstående som vårdar är i behov av stöd, inte bara för att ta hand om den sjuka människan utan också för att ta hand om sig själv. Sjuksköterskan har möjlighet att stödja närstående och syftet med denna systematiska litteraturöversikt var att undersöka hur sjuksköterskan kan stödja närstående till personer som befinner sig i livets slutskede. Till denna systematiska litteraturöversikt har 15 vetenskapliga artiklar analyserats med beskrivande syntes. Analysen resulterade i fem faktorer: att vara närvarande, att vara tillgänglig, att vara ärlig, att ge vägledning och att ge praktiskt stöd.
