Syftet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka hur svensklärare tänker kring lärarprofessionalism och en professionalisering av läraryrket. Metoden för undersökningen består av kvalitativa intervjuer som gjordes på fem verksamma svensklärare. Undersökningen ger framförallt en bild av hur svensklärare ser på sitt yrke som profession. Det framkommer även meningsskiljaktigheter bland lärarna vad gäller en professionalisering av läraryrket. Professionaliseringen som görs i form av en lärarlegitimation, jämförs med decentraliseringen av skolan på 90-talet.

KRAV-certified organic dairy herds generally have a lower milk yield than conventional dairy herds. A high-level of milk yield requires a feeding regime with high amounts of concentrates, a factor known to contribute to the development of claw lesions (Bergsten, C. 2003). The aim of this study was to compare claw health between organic and conventional dairy herds in free and tie stall systems. The number of herds from different domestic animal health associations was chosen in proportion to the association´s total portion of Swedish dairy producing herds of each type, respectively.

The work method used in this study is quantitative and a questionnaire survey was carried out to produce an overall picture. The majority considered praise from manager and the opportunity of development discussions of great importance.

Skiascopy is used to objectively determine the refractive power of the eye. Except for a Swedish study in 2007, where 93 horses of different breeds and ages were examined with respect to their refractive status, most studies on equine refraction were published about one century ago or more. The objective of this study is to examine the refractive status of healthy warm-blooded trotting horses. Skiascopy was performed in 117 horses in total, aged 3 days to approximately 22 years old. In a pilot study, it was determined whether young horses were able to accommodate or not during skiascopy. The horses in the pilot study were all younger than 14 months. In foals younger than 1,5 months we saw a significant difference in the skiascopy result in the right eyes before and after topical atropine was instilled, but not in the left eye.

SammanfattningSyfte och frågeställningarSyftet med studien är att undersöka högstadieelevers syn på hälsa och om denna uppfattning skiljer sig mellan socioekonomiska klasser.Vilken betydelse har fysisk och psykisk hälsa enligt eleverna i de olika skolorna samt vilka faktorer påverkar elevernas välbefinnande enligt dem själva?Vilka likheter och skillnader finns mellan socioekonomiska faktorer och elevers syn på hälsa?Hur ser föräldrarnas och barnens aktivitetsnivå ut i olika socioekonomiska klasser?På vilket sätt arbetar skolorna med hälsa utifrån ett lärarperspektiv och skiljer det sig mot elevernas uppfattning?MetodMetoden som studien bygger på är en kvantitativ enkätundersökning samt kvalitativa intervjuer med två idrottslärare. De namn skolorna har i studien är fingerade. Etternässlaskolan är placerad i norra Stockholm i en kommun med låg socioekonomisk status medan Kungsljusskolan är placerad centralt i östra Stockholm, i en kommun med hög socioekonomisk status. Det var 414 elever i årskurs 7-9 som svarade på enkäten och 407 svar var fullständiga.ResultatResultaten visar att elevernas syn på fysisk hälsa fokuserar på kroppens rörelser och att vara frisk ? på utsidan.

Syftet i studien var att få en djupare förståelse för hur kvinnor som arbetar inom en mansdominerande industri förhåller sig till ohälsa. I bakgrunden presenteras kvinnor och mäns position i samhället samt hur kvinnlig sjukskrivning ser ut på ett nationellt och internationellt plan. Hur normer och synen på kvinnor ser ut och påverkas på en arbetsplats som domineras av män. Studier visar att kvinnor står för procentuellt högst antal sjukfrånvarodagar och att bidragande orsaker till detta kan vara biologiska skillnader.  Uppsatsen bygger på en kvalitativ ansats där sex intervjuer har använts som metod, detta för att få den djupa förståelse som studien annars hade kunnat gå miste om ifall andra metoder använts. Resultatet visade tydligt att majoriteten av de undersökta kvinnorna hade svårt att beskriva sina åsikter kring företaget.
