International reading comprehension studies, like PIRLS and PISA, state that the reading comprehension of Swedish students has decreased significantly since 2000. As a consequence, the National Agency of Education has made reading comprehension teaching a prioritised field in terms of further education for teachers. There has also been a change in Lgr 11, the national curriculum for compulsory school, where it is stated that teaching in reading strategies shall be a part of the central content throughout compulsory school. When the pupils reach upper secondary school level, reading comprehension education is no longer a part of the curriculum. Today, students at upper secondary school for individuals with learning disabilities currently share the same curriculum as the ordinary upper secondary school.

Aim and Problem statement The study aimed to investigate views on physical health amongst patients in methadone maintenance program, which is a subject little explored. Previous studies suggest that methadone patients are at risk developing illnesses related to the metabolic syndrome and an unhealthy lifestyle. Methadone also has side effects such as weight gain and irregular levels of glucose. Method This qualitive study included seven interviews with patients in the methadone maintenance program in Uppsala. Qualitive content analyses were performed Findings Content anlyses gave the theme: The view on physical health is a stuggle after normality were ambivalence of lifestyle changes and alienation causes instability in helath.

Syftet med min undersökning är att ta reda på om före detta elever som tog examen 2005 på Industriprogrammet arbetar kvar i branschen och om de valde rätt gymnasieutbildning för sitt fortsatta yrkesliv. Metoden som jag valt att använda i mitt forskningsarbete är att intervjua en klass bestående av 17 elever. Jag har ställt frågor beträffande deras gymnasieval, om de arbetar de kvar i den bransch som de utbildade sig till eller sysslar de med något annat och vad de tyckte om utbildningen. De resultat som jag har kommit fram till pekar på att eleverna sökt sig till programmet av olika anledningar. För vissa elever så räckte inte poängen till att komma in på de program som de önskade, men de flesta tycker att de valde rätt utbildning. En anledning till valet var att det leder direkt till arbete efter gymnasiet..

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.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur olika behandlingsenheter i Sverige utvärderade effekterna av interventioner för barn med autism 0-6 år, oavsett om det rörde sig om enstaka åtgärder eller hela program. Det var också intressant att se om, och i så fall hur, man tog hänsyn till risker och möjligheter som kunde bidra till variation i utfallen. Kontakt togs med samtliga landstings, och två privata, behandlingsenheter. Brev innehållande information om studien och en enkät med studiens frågor skickades ut.Resultaten visade att man i första hand utvärderade effekterna genom någon form av bedömningstest t ex. PEP, VABS eller ADOS.

Skuldersmärta är en vanlig orsak till sjukgymnastkontakt och flertalet av dessa patienter får diagnosen subacromiell impingement (SAI). SAI behandlas med bland annat patientutbildning, manuell terapi och träning i form av hemövningar. Dock visar studier att det är vanligt att patienter inte följer sina hemträningsprogram. I behandlingen är det därför viktigt att sjukgymnasten anpassar informationen, gör patienten delaktig och bidrar till patientens motivation. För att kunna möta patientens krav behöver sjukgymnastens behandlingsmetoder utvecklas.

Vaccinology is an ever expanding field. As a member of the veterinary staff it is important to stay up to date with the continuous new scientific data and recommendations that affect the care that our companion animals receive at the veterinary clinic. This paper presents adverse vaccination reactions, their cause, risk factors and suggestions how we can minimize the risk of adverse vaccine events in dogs. Dog owners in Sweden were allowed to answer a questionnaire about adverse events following vaccination. Lethargy, edema and pruritus were among the most frequently seen adverse effects.

Since the year of 2000 it has been legal for companies in Sweden to repurchases their own stocks. The purpose of this study is to examine if it has been possible to make a positive abnormal return in Stockholmsbörsen by buying stocks in companies that has announced a buyback program. Our study includes 59 companies that have accomplished a buyback program throw the years of 2000 to 2006. To calculate the abnormal return we use the BHAR method with Affärsvärldens generalindex and branchindex as benchmarks. The result shows a significant positive abnormal return of 23,56 percent the first 12 month after the announcement with Affärsvärldens generalindex as benchmark.

När eleverna väljer till gymnasiet genomför ett flertal av dem ett byte av program i nära anslutning till skolstart. Undersökningen tittar närmare på omvalet och kan komma att vara ett stöd för samtliga yrkeskategorier inom skolan som möter elever inför gymnasievalet. Studie- och yrkesvägledare inom skolan skall vara ett stöd i personalgruppens studie- och yrkesorienterande insatser vilket gör resultatet relevant för deras yrkesutövning. Syftet med undersökningen är att få veta vilka aktiviteter som kan ha haft betydelse för ungdomars val till gymnasieskolan samt vilka de viktigaste anledningarna till omval varit. Som metod har en kvantitativ enkät med semistrukturerade frågor använts.
