The use of Web applications is a growing area. While the possibilities and functionalities are increasing, so is the complexity of them, together with the threats against them because the complexity also opens up the application to vulnerabilities. It is therefore important for developers to know how a web application can be developed with security in mind.This study?s intention has been to create an introductory documentation of what kind of techniques that exists which can produce higher security, which methods there can be within the development process and what to think about when programming secure web applications. In this paper we have investigated how theoretical manuals in the IT security department handles that area, and interviewed two developers from two different companies to see how they use security in their web applications.The study has an exploratory technical perspective and does not explain how to practically use and interconnecting different security-enhancing technologies, but is more suppose to give a first glance at what is available and sow a seed for those interested to continue reading further about the subject.

The globalization of political and economic processes is a growing moral concern for theologians and political philosophers alike. My thesis aims to outline, analyze, and compare church studies of globalization with global theories of justice.To do this, I draw upon recent studies of globalization made by the World Council of Churches (WCC) and the Lutheran World Federation (LWF). The WCC and LWF are two global reaching church organizations. They have a common aim of uniting churches for ecumenical dialogue and are involved in social, economic, political, and ecological questions. The WCC and LWF analyze globalization by applying biblical and theological principles from the Christian tradition.

This essay discusses the interaction between the authorities in Nacka municipality in Sweden and supervisors within the eldercare. In Nacka politicians have gradually started delegate responsibility for how care-giving for the elder should be done and focus instead on formulating economical objectives and overall rules. It is up to the approved supervisors of eldercare to deliver good care and quality. The method chosen to accomplish this is public choice. This method is a part of the big New Public Management (NPM) reform which have had a big impact on Swedish public sector since the 1980´s.

The collective agreement contains many important provisions concerning the relationship between employers and employees. When a collective agreement applies in the workplace, both employers and employees are bound by it. However, only employers of those two, can take part in the collective agreement, and therefore negotiate the content of it.The purpose of this study is to answer the following question: Why are rules that has been interpreted in collective agreements not expressed in writing? Therefore, the Swedish collective agreement system will be examined, and a distinction between types of silent regulations will be made to find causes. The potential for workers to act on a collective agreement with quiet regulations will also be examined.Collective agreements are signed on three levels: central, union and local levels.

Uppsatsen är en litteraturstudie och syftar till att kritiskt belysa den nu pågående gymnasiereformen ur ett utbildningshistoriskt perspektiv med särskilt fokus på enhetlighet, jämlikhet och likvärdighet, för att se likheter med och avvikelser från tidigare strävanden. Reformen analyseras sedan ur ett liberalt jämlikhetsperspektiv efter John Rawls? teori om rättvisa. I rättviseanalysen fokuserar jag särskilt differ-entieringen av gymnasiet i högskoleförberedande respektive icke högskoleförbered-ande program.    I min utbildningshistoriska analys visar jag hur reformen är ett trendbrott i svensk utbildningspolitisk tradition dels genom att ange kunskapsnivån i skolan som främsta orsak till reformen och inte sociala aspekter, dels eftersom den innebär en återgång till en differentierad gymnasieskola. Samtidigt visar det sig att utbildningspolitiken är klassiskt borgerlig och i det avseendet är reformen inte överraskande.    En rättvis skolstruktur erkänner den kultur- och kunskapstradition som eleverna är en del av, för dem tidigt in i denna tradition, och lär dem efterhand att använda sina kunskaper på ett personligt sätt.

Matematiklärare brukar ofta ha en förkärlek för katederundervisning. John Hattie (2009) har gjort en metastudie över 800 andra metastudier om vilka faktorer som påverkar elevers studieprestationer, och han menar att direktundervisning ger bättre resultat än exempelvis elevaktiva arbetssätt. Men är direktundervisning och katederundervisning samma sak? Enligt Hattie är det inte riktigt samma sak. Det framgår dock inte riktigt vilken typ av elevprestationer som egentligen mätts i de undersökningar som Hattie studerat.

In the future the Swedish pension system will face major problems. With an increasing aging population combined with a decreasing share of working population the financing of the pension system is becoming a bigger problem than previously predicted. This means the individual himself will have a bigger responsibility to invest money for their future retirement. It has been shown that a large proportion of the people who invests for their future pension have neither the interest nor the time to actively invest their pension capital. To make it easier for those who invest for their retirement, some Swedish banks have created so-called generation funds.

The study addresses the field of design as a profession and examines the views on strategic management in a design project among nine selected graphic designers. The graphic designers who participate in the study are permanently employed at design companies in Stockholm. The study has a qualitative approach and the method is based on face-to-face interviews. We have chosen to examine this subject due to the opinion among professionals that strategic management in the design industry has increased during the last decades. There is a belief that strategic management in some cases are used too extensively as a way for design companies to make more money.

AbstractDespite that e-business nowadays is established scepsis against it amongst consumers exists. We, as consumers, suppose that this skepticism is caused by bad communication from the e-business companies. This has lead to our suggestion that some con-sumers refrain from e-business because of bad communication or deficient trust.Our purpose with this paper was to investigate factors of communication between companies and consumers within e-business (B2C) from the consumers? point of view. We thereby have drawn conclusions regarding consumers? choice of e-business company.

The Swedish social insurance agency provides financial support for families and children, but also for people with work injury, illness and at old age. During 2012 they saw the amount of notifications of insurance increasing in Sweden, which is a development that cost our society a great deal of money. With the aim to pursue a sustainable development I have therefore devoted this project to wellness and stress management within preschool.The employees of preschool are often dealing with a lot of stress, due to the big groups of children that causes high noise and sound levels. The high noise and sound levels is a contributor to stress which additionally can damage the health and cause impaired hearing loss. About half of the people around their forties until the age of retirement have difficulties understanding speech in large groups.The purpose of this project has been to investigate the causes of negative stress for my target group, women between 30-60 years old who works in preschool.

Genom historien har det skrivits en ansenlig mängd material kring teorier om demokrati av både deskriptiv och normativ karaktär. Joseph A Schumpeter tillhör en i samlingen av författare som utformat demokratiteorier genom att beskriva demokratin som han uppfattar den. Schumpeter anser att det handlar om en elit som konkurrerar om folkets röster för att få utöva makt. Pluralisterna tillför ytterligare en dimension till den deskriptiva demokratiteorin då de tar in intressegruppernas roll i det politiska systemet. C B Macpherson, Carole Pateman och John Burnheim har reagerat på dessa deskriptiva teorier och demokratin som de upplevt den.

Throughout the years more and more charitable organisations have appeared and the competition between them has increased. This has forced the charities to use more marketing strategies in their work in order to strengthen their competitiveness. Research in philanthropy in terms of economy and marketing has been neglected in Sweden and the research that is done today is mainly focused on why individuals donate to charity. A donation, according to the writers of this thesis, has been seen as an economical activity and can therefore be explained and understood through economical models and theories. This thesis aims to see how a contributor to charity makes the decision to donate money, consequently see how the donation decision process actually works from a theoretical model of a buying decision process from marketing literature. The purpose of this thesis is therefore to from a buying decision process concerning products describe the donation decision process for contributors to charity. By achieving this purpose the writers aim to compare if a donation decision process go through certain steps similar to a buying decision process.
