This master essay is about teenagers, alcohol and the preventing measures taken by the Swedish government. Consequences of the rising consumption of alcohol among adolescents and how to prevent dangerous alcohol consumption in the future is one of the most prioritized issues in the Swedish society today. Today there is no prevention that clearly shows any effect on teenager?s alcohol consumption and the education about the dangerous effect of alcohol is clearly not the same in schools around Sweden. To gain knowledge about how teenagers view their own consumption of alcohol we have used the Grounded Theory.

Mitt examensarbete handlar om min musikaliska bana och skall ge en överblick av mig själv som musiker här och nu. Det blev många byten av instrument i min musikaliska karriär, som har skapat problem med min musikaliska identitet och bild av mig själv. Vem är jag egentligen, som musiker? Vilket instrument identifierar jag mig med? Uppväxt och utbildning i ett annat land har givit mig en grund att stå  på men har samtidigt skapat problem för mig med den svenska undervisningen. Vad är rätt och vad är fel? Finns det rätt eller fel? Hur har min identitet påverkats av de olika utbildningssystemen? Jag skapade en enkät för utländska studenter för att ta reda på om jag är ensam om mina upplevelser och därmed fånga eventuella skillnader.Uppväxt och skolgång påverkar  musikers identitet och man bär konsekvenserna av skolningen genom hela livet.Hur påverkas identiteten av instrumentval, repertoar och arbetsplats? Jag har tittat närmare på detta.Påverkas musikers identitet av kön? Hur lätt är det att vara kvinna och invandrare? Fungerar integrationen i Sverige? Jag försöker hitta svar på sådana frågor.I det sista kapitlet reflekterar jag över min examenskonsert och min musikaliska identitet.Jag har kommit fram till att min identitet är Musiker och Världsmedborgare.

Today more effective computer programs are in use, regarding design of geotechnicalconstructions. There is a risk that the theoretical background of the computerprograms, its limitations and the signification of the choice of soil parameter isforgotten when the computer programs become more user-friendly.This Master thesis deals with simulation and analysis regarding three computerprograms, FEM-design, with the addition Raft, Plaxis and BE-slab. Comparisons aremade for settlement and maximum moment in a concrete-plate. FEM-design is a threedimensional FEM-program, foremost created for design engineers. Plaxis is a twodimensional FEM-program, intended for geotechnical engineers while BE-Slab is aBoundary elements program in two dimensions that is mainly used by designengineers.

The purpose of this study was to gain deeper knowledge about the special needs of guidance significance as an aid to students based on teachers' views and perceptions.Eight teachers from three different municipalities, active in primary school and middle school have been interviewed since all have participated in and have experience with special needs tutoring. Their responses were compiled and answered the three research questions: What experiences have teachers of special education counseling? How do teachers the guidance they received from a special teacher? What effect has the special educational guidance given for the inclusive education? The result shows that the special educational tutorial helps teachers gain a deeper understanding of students in need of special support and guidance to the mission vary in scope and content. The special educational tutorial that is aimed directly at the teachers seem to have a positive effect on inclusion and a critical/dilemma perspective while the consultative guidance primarily directed towards the adaptation of educational material and allows students to walk out of the classroom to receive special education promotes exclusion and ability grouping and a compensatory perspectives. From a sociocultural perspective pointing results of the study that teachers with special education tutoring experience to students in an inclusive education contribute to each other's learning,creating meaningful for everyone involved..

Vad innebär musik och rörelse i förskolan? De flesta förskollärarna ansåg att fantasin och viljan att spela och sjunga med barnen var en av de viktigaste förutsättningarna för att få en lyckad musik och rörelseverksamhet i förskolan. Glädje, inlevelse och spontanitet är även en viktig del i musik och rörelseverksamheten, något som förskollärarna genomgående tyckte. Hur arbetar förskolan (informanterna) med musik och rörelse? I de sex förskolorna som ingick i vår studie, kom vi fram till att samtliga förskolor arbetade kontinuerligt med musik och rörelse i samlingarna.

I denna studie har vi utvecklat, testat och utvärderat ett uppföljnings-instrument som följer upp personalens användning av och uppfattning om informationssystemen i en socialförvaltning. Uppföljningsinstrumentet är utformat utifrån en redan etablerad modell (Information Systems Success Model). Inhämtningsdelen har vi utformat i form av en enkät. Analys och redovisningsdelen har vi utformat utifrån modellen. Uppföljningsinstrumentet kan användas som en del i en socialförvaltnings kontinuerliga förbättringsarbete och kräver inga förkunskaper i informatik eller informationslogistik för att användas..

This paper presents the results of a study of dyscalculia. It is a retrospective archival study implemented with a deductive approach. On the basis of established research and theory 18 analytical categories were formulated, before a deductive thematic analysis of empirical material, consisting of journal data of 17 students investigated for dyscalculia, 14 girls (82.4%) and 3 boys (17.6%).The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the concepts formulated in research on dyscalculia and actual mathematical difficulties as those found in practice of students at school.All pupils had early and long-term difficulties with mathematics, while not showing any difficulties in other subjects. Most have had an unsatisfactory learning environment. All had normal intelligence but difficulty with certain cognitive, self-regulatory and linguistic features.

The recent globalization has to some extent reduced the importance of specific cultures and instead creates a focus on the variation these different cultures provide. Under these circumstances the leader must adapt his leadership to face these new circumstances. The organisations today have to face these new leadership challenges which the global expansion brings. This is a prerequisite for organizations if they want to succeed and be more competitive in a more demanding environment.There are still big differences between the business cultures. There are also differences in the companies? home arena, between groups in the society and all the way down on a family level.

The earmould acoustics affect the amplification that the hearing aid is programmed to give to its user. It is therefore important that the choices made for the earmould are correctly done. One choice is regarding the shape of the soundbore that affects the frequency response of the hearing aid above a certain cut-off frequency. The purpose of this project was to measure the frequency response when altering the shape of the soundbore in the earmould. Additionally, the aim was to examine how the frequency response is affected when the shape of the soundbore is not set or is not possible to set in the software when programming the hearing aid.

ABSTRACTThe aim for this study is to examine how relatives to children who participated/participate in Youth and family team Sputnik-group, oriented towards support groups for children of substance abusing parents, perceive the work done by the organization. On the basis of this aim three questions were formulated: do the relatives perceive a change in the communication with the child as an effect of the child?s participation in Sputnik?s activities, do the relatives perceive a change in their relationship with the child as an effect of the child?s participation in Sputnik?s activities, do the relatives think that their awareness of substance abuse have changed following the child?s participation in Sputnik?s activities. Previous research, Mead?s perspective, the concept of ?groups? and support groups for children, were used to interpret the results.

This thesis treats the topic of user-generated comments connected with news stories on news sites, meaning electronic word-of-mouth combined with PR. The writers have examined how different types of comments affect consumers' perception of the article and also what communication effects these comments generate in terms of attitudes, purchase intent and word-of-mouth intent. The results interesting to the news site owners, is that lots of comments and negative comments generate a negative effect by making the actual article less credible, attractive and worth reading (relative to the subsequent comments). On the positive side, serious comments imply that the news story is perceived as more interesting, than a news story followed by non-serious comments. From a brand equity perspective, the interesting results show that few comments compared to lots of comments, generate a better attitude to the brand, even though there is no difference in how positive or negative the comments are.

Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att utifrån en empirisk studie beskriva och belysa vilka regelverk som reglerar kreditderivat på den svenska finansmarknaden. I studien ingår även att undersöka vilken nytta regleringen av kreditderivat fyller, samt vilken roll instrumentet har spelat i dagens finanskris. Studien syftar slutligen även till att undersöka om, och hur, nuvarande reglering av kreditderivat kommer att förändras till följd av dagens finanskris.Metod: Jag har i denna undersökning valt att använda mig utav den kvalitativa forskningsmetoden, i enlighet med att ett mindre område har studerats för att mer djupgående undersöka och problematisera detta. Vidare har den abduktiva metoden använts för att gripa an till mina forskningsfrågor.Teori: I den teoretiska referensram som ligger till grund för detta arbete har jag valt att presentera och redogöra för finansmarknaden och handel med finansiella instrument, samt det finansiella instrumentet kreditderivat. En överskådlig redogörelse gör jag även för hur nuvarande regleringen ser ut för kreditderivat, samt presenterar den ekonomiska teorin som syftar till att förklara varför regleringar upprättas och tillhandahålls i samhället.Empiri: Jag har genomfört tre stycken kvalitativa intervjuer, varav den ena med en representant från Finansinspektionen och de två övriga med representanter från de svenska storbankerna SEB och Handelsbanken.Slutsatser: Ett resultat som denna studie erhållit är att en förändring av regelverket gällande kreditderivat kommer att ske till följd av finanskrisen.

Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere contributes to the greenhouse effect, which is essential tolife on our planet. Furthermore, it plays an important part of the photosynthesis andrespiration of the world?s organisms. Since the start of the industrial revolution the amount ofcarbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased exponentially. The main source is theextensive burning of fossil fuels.
