MKB är ett verktyg som används som beslutsunderlag i Sverige i stor utsträckning. Syftet med studien var att undersöka vilken nytta verksamhetsutövaren upplever att MKB har för miljön och deras projekt. Dessutom syftar studien att undersöka om hypotesen stämmer, att verksamhetsutövaren upplever MKB som en belastning och att detta medför dålig kvalitet på MKB-dokumentet och MKB-processen. Som bakgrund till uppsatsen ges en kort beskrivning av MKB:s historia, lagstiftning, tillämpning och forskning. Studien är en kvalitativ intervjustudie som riktar sig till en grupp verksamhetsutövare.

Studies show that the performance of Swedish students in the subject of mathematics is to be considered somewhat average. The government has therefore decided to assist with extended project funding to schools on a local level in order to improve these results.Schools will, unlike before, practice teaching suited for the individual needs of students based on their previous experiences, knowledge level, language comprehension and their environment. This is also clearly stated in the Swedish school curriculum.My survey shows how three teachers in primary school actually work towards individualized teaching of mathematics and what methods they prefer. This survey also answered what these teachers considered to be the obstacles and opportunities with individualized teaching methods. The difference in approach of how to practice this has also been documented.The survey, based on interviews and class observations, have been analyzed and compared to previous research and theories in the field of teaching practices.

Ordet demokrati betyder, som de flesta förmodligen vet, folkstyre. Men vad innebär demokrati om vi bortser från den rent semantiska betydelsen? Hur får demokratin sin innebörd i dag? Och vad får det för konsekvenser?Mitt syfte med denna uppsats har varit att med hjälp av ett diskursanalytiskt angreppssätt granska hur begreppet demokrati framställs i Demokratiutredningens slutbetänkande En uthållig demokrati! (SOU 2000:1). Mitt intresse inriktades även på hur den demokratiska medborgaren beskrevs i texten. Vad avser man med ordet demokrati? Hur konstrueras demokratin och den demokratiska medborgaren i texten?Demokratin och dess historia beskrivs vanligen linjärt där demokratin betraktas som en i det närmaste fysisk realitet.

The purpose of this study was to examine social worker?s own experiences of dealing with gender perspectives in child welfare cases. With a constructionist perspective, this study is based on a qualitative approach with semi-structured interviews. Six social workers were asked to reflect on their work and their methodology, and how it relates to gender perspectives when assessing children and adolescents in child welfare services.The result shows that there is a lack of control and review that children are given a gender neutral treatment. It also shows that there was no explicit protocol for how to take a gender perspective into account when assessing children and adolescents needs of welfare services.

Konsumtion kan vara allt från ditt köp av tuggummi, ett par nya skor, en gammal päls från 70-talet, en resa till Indien, till en kebabrulle nere på hörnet. Samtidigt innebär detta att du betalar för smaker, utseende, åsikter, upplevelser, känslor och kulturer. Detta är att leva i ett konsumtionssamhälle. Det du konsumerar speglar vem du är och hur du vill att andra ska uppfatta dig ? alltså din identitet.

In relation to the paradigm shift that took place between the marketing mix and relationship marketing, and the emergence of information technology in the 90:s, the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) has become a frequently used concept in marketing. Most definitions and approaches have been generated from previous studies, but the concept is still criticized for the number of failed implementation attempts. Along a discussion of the area has an elaborate theoretical foundation remained as the foundation for the study development and utilized in all the sections of the study. The study, with help from Gartner's eight building blocks of CRM, focus on how Swedish medium and large companies work with CRM, and if this is an indicator of the number of failed implementation attempts. The survey consists of two approaches, qualitative and quantitative, to provide both depth and generalizability of the study.

The Swedish government?s objective regarding information technology is to be world-leading in using the possibilities that digitization provides. In some aspects this has already been done, but in some areas much is yet to be accomplished. Although sports and recreational fitness activities are amongst the fastest growing areas of personal and consumer-oriented cloud computing-based technologies around the globe, there are areas within the genre that?s not evolving as quickly.

AbstractThere is a lot of confusion when it comes to defining Special Education. An example of this appears here by a statement from Assarson (2007) "Special Education initiates a special pedagogy, but contains no innate sense of what is the special component in it" (p. 52, authors? translation). This study is an attempt to clarify the elements of the concept.

At night, the visibility is reduced and the demands on the driver increase. A safety system that enables the driver to discover warmer objects in the surroundings when the visibility are reduced, such as the Vision Enhancement System (VES) contributes to safer night-time driving. Since the benefits of this system are established, it is of interest to investigate different design aspects. The VES display has in earlier studies been positioned in front of the driver but different display positions such as peripheral placement should be evaluated. The present simulator study is an investigation of the effects of different display positions inside the car.

Today?s farmers are constantly affected by the fluctuating world market prices on grain and thereby the price risk that comes with the price fluctuations. The volatile prices of grain increase the price risk within the business, which in turn affects the profitability of the business. The fluctuating prices together with the increased price risk within the farm business have opened up the market for hedging instruments. In this master thesis project, the aim is to identify the underlying end-values of 30 Swedish farmers? related to their choice of using hedging and the product; forward contract.

This is a case study influenced by Grounded Theory and Symbolic Interactionism. Its focus is on a small group of pupils isolated both geographically and socially from the ordinary school. The composition is written from the children?s perspective. Observations and interviews have made it possible to study both the interaction between the children and also the adults, how the children are described by the adults working with them and what expectations they have on the children.In the light of earlier research, our case study can be seen as an example how the school is dealing with the children?s problems.

I gruppen möten mellan olika kulturer kommer vi bland annat lyfta fram möten som en invandrare ställs inför när han/hon integreras i det svenska samhället. Dessa möten innebär eventuella möjligheter eller begränsningar till integration. Vi kommer dessutom att diskutera hur en nyanländ människa påverkas av den nya kulturen samt hur individen bevarar sitt kulturella arv. Vi har studerat dessa möten i fyra fallstudier med inriktning på; en mångkulturell svensk gymnasieskola, kulturarv, sexuell läggning och slutligen bostadsförhållanden. I den mångkulturella skolan ligger tyngdpunkten på att studerahur olika etniska grupper samspelar och behandlar varandra.

This study intends to illuminate women?s experiences of their own self-harm. Self-harm is mostly associated with women and research shows that women mostly are over-represented. This study describes women?s experiences about their self-harm but also how they perceive the elements around them during their illness.

Sedan miljöbalken infördes och den politiska målsättningen om ett ekologiskt hållbart samhälle lagstadgades har kravet om att sanera förorenade områden stärkts. Därigenom ökar också kravet på en tydlig lagstiftning där det går att ställa förorenaren till svars, i enlighet med den internationellt vedertagna principen om att förorenaren betalar. I studien beskrivs hur miljölagstiftningen i Sverige utvecklats när det gäller regleringen av ansvaret för efterbehandling av förorenad mark. Vidare undersöks om den gällande rätten medverkar till uppfyllandet av miljöbalkens mål om en hållbarutveckling. Som teoretisk grund används teorier om hållbar miljörätt.

ABSTRACT Bjelkenbrant, Pernilla, 2007: Musik och kommunikation ? en kursutvärdering (Music and communication ? a course evaluation) The purpose of this study is to do a quality assurance of the course ?Music and communication? (MUPR1205) as it was implemented in a class of music students at the program of Arts and Culture at Törnströmska upper secondary school in Karlskrona during 2006/2007. The overall question is to what extent the shaping of the course involves the attainment of the values and goals formulated in the national school documents. The study includes an interpretation of course goals related to overall goals, and a suggestion of how theories of the relationship music ? society can be applied to those goals to make a successful course structure.
