The properties of this material has been studied and it was found that there is very little difference in what affect students in there choice of school, studies and career. Boys who choose hairdressing and styling differ more than girls who choose a career in technics. This is a surprising result which we didn´t expect. In researching background material we learned that it should differ more in perspective of gender. We have compiled the material around young people's choices to high school.

The main purpose for this study was to examine how boys with destructive and self-harming behaviour are perceived and comprehended by school counsellors and literature. The study assessed how boys who harm themselves are defined both in practice and in theory by using a social constructivist point of view and a gender perspective. The study was divided in two parts concerning gathering knowledge of the matter. The authors, using a method called qualitative semi-structured interviews, interviewed nine school counsellors. To acquire scientific knowledge, the authors implemented a literature review and researched books and journal articles regarding boys who self-harm.

Mitt syfte med detta arbete är att reda ut begreppen ordblindhet, dyslexi och läs- och skrivsvårigheter. Jag har sedan valt att använda definition läs- och skrivsvårigheter. I arbetet har jag undersökt hur pass väl teori stämmer överens med praktik, med tyngdpunkt på dessa orsaker, symptom, diagnos och åtgärder. Det är idag ganska oklart om vilka faktorer som är bidragande orsaker till läs- och skrivsvårigheter. Forskarna är osäkra på om läs- och skrivsvårigheter kan vara ärftligt betingat.

Under vår lärarutbildning har matematiksamtal behandlats. Syftet med detta arbete blev därför att ta reda på om lärare i skolår 6 använder sig av matematiksamtal i sin undervisning och i så fall hur. Vår definition av matematiksamtal är att det ska vara en dialog, dels mellan lärare och elever, dels elever emellan och att båda parter får göra sin röst hörd utan att bli avbrutna. Vi anser även att fokus ligger på att diskutera och resonera matematik och inte enbart hitta det rätta svaret på en uppgift. Eleverna ska inte vara rädda för att säga hur de har tänkt trots att lösningen eller svaret kan vara fel.

Syftena med denna uppsats har varit flera. Dels att genomföra en undersökande genrediskussion av svensk chick-lit i stort där det som uppfattats som den huvudsakliga kritiken av genren omformulerats till frågeställningar. Huvudfrågan har därmed varit att ta reda på om svensk chick-lit är intressant, men också om den har några litterära kvaliteter och om den är en feministisk backlash. I uppsatsen arbetas även en definition av svensk chick-lit fram, samt empiriskt grundad teori ur materialet. Avsikten är att detta arbete ska kunna verka som förebild för andra utredningar av nya och marginaliserade genrer.

This report is a study in voltagelevel in connection with regeneration of brake energy from the tramtype M31 in Gothenburg.In the act of braking, the tram M31 uses electrical braking where the electrical motors generates energy and if possible send it back to the overheadline, where other trams in the nearby can use this regenerated energy for its own driving force. In cases where no other energyconsumers are located in the same section, there is a resistance witch task is to convert this energy into heat. The regulation of this resistance appears to cause an increase in the voltagelevel into far too high levels.Investigations of the trams regulationequipment and its construction have been done. Further have measurements on the overheadline been performed in order to map the voltagevariations during a longer period of time.The result have been showing that the voltagelevel during regeneration often is as high as 880V-920V, more extreme values have not been observed in a large scale. The values are especially high compared to the nominal voltagelevel.

Denna uppsats fokuserar på fältet organisatoriskt lärande. I denna uppsats undersöks huruvida en definition av vad organisatoriskt lärande är, är av vikt för utvecklingen av området. Vi tar vår utgångspunkt i kritik som riktats mot denna definitionsdebatt, som menar att organisationer redan lär sig och att man snarare bör studera detta lärande och utveckla detta istället för att söka formulera en exakt definition.Vi har i denna uppsats gjort en fördjupad studie av en utvald organisation, Rockparty, för att se hur denna handskas med lärande inom organisationen. Resultatet av denna studie blev insikten om att organisationen i allra högsta grad sysslar med vad vi känner igen som organisatoriskt lärande. Vilket föranleder oss att ta rygg på den tidigare yttrade kritiken mot definitionsdebatten som sådan och ett bifall till uppmaningen att istället studera och utveckla det lärande som pågår..

A range of public health and animal welfare problems has been shown to be associated with free-roaming dogs. With a high density of free-roaming dogs and with a major tourism industry, Samoan tourists are likely to be influenced by the presence of the dogs. The tourists are mainly from the Oceanic region; with New Zealand and Australia as the biggest contributors. The aim of this study was to examine the potential impacts of dogs on visitors to Samoa. A questionnaire was handed out to 281 visitors all over Samoa, collecting opinions and information on visitors? experiences and behaviour regarding the Samoan dogs.

This study is a survey concerning learning on equal terms. The purpose of the survey is to get a look into how teachers of today integrate students to obtain an individually adapt education. A good education is where every single student can evolve from an individual level and how education is adapted to let high-achieving students keep their motivation and thus develop from their own level of knowledge.Data has been collected through a qualitative method using semi-structured interviews. In the result the answers of the interviews are presented and it shows that teachers turn their focus towards low-achieving students. Low-achieving students are more in need of support to reach the required amount of knowledge, but that the high-achieving students must not be forgotten by the teachers. .

The aim of this study is to investigate the notion of pupil influence in English teaching at level 1 and 2 at High-School level. The study focuses on how the students and teachers experience the possibility of influence in their English classes. Empirical data has been collected through questionnaires from two classes at year 1 and two classes at year 2 in English. The study also includes interviews from four teachers and four students. The study is both qualitative and quantitative.

Sickness absence is a measure of health and is therefore an important issue. To get a complete picture it´s important to also include in the discussion sickness presenteeism, working while ill, and voluntary absence, staying at home without illness. Working conditions have been proven to play a role for the three aspects which is why this study aims to further investigate the connections between them. The method used was secondary processing on interview data collected from two home care teams, one having a low and the other a high sickness absence. The results showed that there were big differences concerning working conditions, where the group with the high sickness absence perceived more stress, less control and less support from colleagues and superiors.

In this bachelor's thesis, we investigate the Swedish folk high school?s role in neoliberal society, which is analyzed through the lens of Norman Fairclough's critical discourse theory as well as Erving Goffman's theory of social deviants. The focus of our study has been participants in creative education, such as art, theater and creative writing. Our findings include that participants at folk high schools find great value in their education, both creatively and personally. They note that they have experienced a large amount of personal growth, regarding both openness towards others and higher confidence and their own abilities and identity.
