Uppsatsens syfte är att analysera, ur ett rättviseteoretiskt perspektiv, de förändringar av utbudet av hälso- och sjukvård i Östergötland som prioriteringslistan ger upphov till och att undersöka hur partiföreträdare i Landstinget i Östergötland uppfattar utbudsbegränsningarna. Syftet är även att från den empiriska delen möjliggöra en normativ diskussion om utvecklingen av den svenska välfärdspolitiken. Uppsatsen behandlar det svenska generella välfärdssystemets uppbyggnad, aktuell välfärdspolitisk debatt och har en rättviseteoretisk bas genom olika rättviseteoretiker, bland andra John Rawls och Ronald Dworkin. Återkommande ledord är rättvisa, solidaritet, lika omtanke och respekt och moral. Den teoretiska delen baseras även på Bo Rothsteins välfärdsteoretiska resonemang kring vad staten kan göra, och vad staten bör göra.

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka vilka uppfattningar elever har till elevinflytande, i ämnet specialidrott fotboll, som erbjuds vid NIU-gymnasium. Sedan 2011, och införandet av den nya läroplanen för gymnasiet, kan endast så kallade RIG- och NIU-gymnasium erbjuda specialidrott. Tidigare har samtliga gymnasieskolor haft möjlighet till detta. För att uppnå studiens syfte används en kvalitativ metod. Åtta NIU-elever intervjuas genom semistrukturerade intervjuer.John Deweys pedagogiska teori och Myndigheten för skolutvecklings analyseringsmodell fungerar som teoretiska ramverk.

Idag är en stor del av Sveriges befolkning sjukskrivna utifrån regeringens uppsatta mål. Därför har regering under 2001 startat ett arbete för att öka folkhälsan och minska sjukskrivningarna genom att tillsätta ett program av 11 stycken åtgärder, 11-punktsprogrammet. Uppsatsens syfte är att utvärdera två av punkterna i 11-punktsprogrammet genom Evert Vedungs måluppfyllelsemodell, samt att redogöra för vad demokratiteoretikerna Robert Nozick och John Rawls anser om statens inblandning och i vilken utsträckning den tillåts påverka befolkningens levnadsvanor för att få ned sjukskrivningarna. Frågeställningarna är: vilka mål har regeringen ställt upp gällande det svenska sjukförsäkringssystemet och då närmare bestämt i två av punkterna i 11-punktsprogrammet? Har målen uppfyllts utifrån Evert Vedungs måluppfyllelsemodell? Och i vilken utsträckning tillåts staten enligt etablerad demokratiteori att försöka påverka människors levnadsvanor för att uppfylla dess mål? Det vill säga, få ned sjukskrivningarna och förbättra folkhälsan.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine whether parents that obtain long-term maintenance support in Enköping, consider the support as adequate when trying to meet their children's basic needs. The thesis also intends to investigate whether parents experience that their children, because they receive income support, have been socially excluded or stigmatized in their daily lives because of the family?s maintenance support. Further, the thesis aims to examine if there are any discrepancies in the above mentioned issue in relation to how long the parents have received maintenance support. Theoretical starting points used in this thesis mainly consist of the child perspective, social exclusion and the stigmatization theory.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka pedagogers syn på förskolebarns vistelse i naturmiljö. Undersökningen utgick från kvalitativa intervjuer, insamlade berättelser från pedagoger med ett eget naturintresse, om vilken betydelse naturvistelse kan ha för barns utveckling, lek och lärande. Pedagogerna fick beskriva sitt förhållningssätt och hur de arbetar för att förverkliga läroplanens intentioner. I resultatet visade det sig att pedagogerna såg naturen som en resurs för fantasi, sinnlighet, motorisk utveckling och även ett berikat/utvidgat samspel barn emellan. Svårighet att skilja på lek och lärande belystes.

The project is a practical and theoretical test of IP telephony with Skype in order to form a base for a comparison between IP-Telephony with Skype and the Public Switched Telephony Network (PSTN). PSTN is the common standard that most of us use for telephony today. The objective for the study is to simplify the choice between PSTN and IP-Telephony for the Swedish private customer user group. The project is supposed to answer the following questions. - How easy is it to start using IP-telephony with Skype? - How is the quality of IP-telephony compared to PSTN? - Are all services provided by PSTN available and accessible using the IP-solution? - How are the usability and the availability of support with IP telephony? - Is IP-telephony a cheaper solution and in that case under which circumstances? Within the project a collection of practical and theoretical tests have been performed to be able to form an opinion on the IP-solution in the following areas, installation, function, quality, usability, costs, accessibility and security.

AbstraktMed ett socialpsykologiskt perspektiv och hermeneutisk ansats är syftet med denna studie att undersöka hur en skolas organisationskultur påverkar ett lärarlags pedagogiska arbete och bemötande av elever. Vi intervjuade tio pedagoger inom ett lärarlag på Hagaskolan i Varberg. Vi utförde dessutom en informationsintervju med Mats Oljelund, en av de två verksamma rektorerna på skolan. Detta för att få information dels om skolan men också om dess involvering i utvecklings- och arbetsprojektet OUR. Resultatet har vi analyserat med hjälp av Mats Alvessons bok ?Organisationskultur och ledning? (2009), John Gastils teori om grupprocesser och ledarskap, Moira von Wrights (2000) begrepp relationellt respektive punktuellt perspektiv samt Hannah Arendts begrepp, Vad eller Vem (von Wright 2000).

As stocks have become a more common way for people to save their money, the range of financial information has had a substantial increase. To understand the assumptions that stock valuation and analysis are built upon, it is important for the reader to have an understanding for the models that are used by banks and institutions when recommendations are published.The cash flow model, which is the most commonly used stock valuation tool, is based on CAPM. This model describes the relationship between an assets return and its risk in relation to an index. The risk parameter is called the beta value and has grown to be the dominating risk factor within financial economics literature.The use of beta values has been widely discussed in the world of academics and some researchers claim that the degree of explanation brought about by the beta is so low that it should be discarded, others are faithful to the beta and believe that it still serves a purpose. As a result of this criticism other ways to calculate the beta have surfaced, models that take other factors of risk into consideration.

The aim of this study was to analyze the assessment of the national tests seen from the teacher?s perspective. The national tests are performed in the Swedish school, classes 3, 5, 9, and the upper secondary school (gymnasiet). There has been an ongoing discussion regarding assessment and grading for a long time and it is of high interest now more than ever. The last control assessment done in 2009 by the department of school inspections on the order of the Swedish government, showed big differences between the assessments done by the teachers, and the assessments completed by the department of school inspections.

In this study, I intend to examine some aspects of the activities of cultural companies in the town of Arvika. The study is qualitative in nature and based on in-depth interviews with self-employed cultural workers, as well as representatives from Arvika municipality. Cultural policy documents have been studied to clarify the self-employed status in the cultural sector and thus their importance to the cultural life in Arvika overall.My hope is to get a glimpse of what it means to work as a self-employed within the cultural sector in Arvika and the conditions that exist, in order to successfully run and develop their businesses.There is a shift in cultural policy, which has led to permanent forms of employment becoming fewer and self-employment to grow ( Karlsson & Lekvall, 6 ). One can say that the cultural sector has moved in the direction from a public matter, to the more privatized ( Köping , Lantz & Stenström, 3 ). The problem with this is that the policy of self-employment has not progressed at the same rate as the amount of business.

Välkommen till förskolan är en undersökning om hur barn och vårdnadshavare blir bemötta under de första dagarna i förskolan, av Anna Friberg och Ingbritt Svensson. Studien beskriver hur pedagoger bemöter barn och vårdnadshavare under de fem första introduktionsdagarna. När ett barn börjar förskolan tar pedagogerna inte enbart emot barnet utan hela familjen. I läroplanen för förskolan, Lpfö 98 (Reviderad 2010), framgår det att förskolans pedagoger ansvarar för att varje barn tillsammans med dess vårdnadshavare får en god introduktion i förskolan. Pedagogerna ska visa respekt och ta ansvar för att utveckla en tillitsfull relation till barnet och dess vårdnadshavare. Examensarbetets syfte är att åskådliggöra familjers första möten med förskolan.

Who is responsible for youth policy implementation?This thesis attempts to deepen our understanding of Swedish and Nordic youth policy. Youth policy is cross-sectoral and includes all the decisions and measures affecting the conditions of young people. National youth policy therefore concerns young people's life situations in a number of different areas, such as work, housing, education, health, leisure and influence. The purpose of the study is to increase the knowledge of youth policy work the last century by understanding the impact of youth research concerning adults' role in youth policy implementation. A mixed method approach has been applied to the study: interviews, documents and youth theory have been analysed.

In Dar es Salaam, as in many cities in developing countries, green areas are decreasing due to the fact that the growth of buildings, infrastructure and services has become a priority. As the population increases more buildings and infrastructure are needed and much of the building activity takes the form of uncontrolled settlements, which encroaches the public green space. Dar es Salaam has approximately three million inhabitants, of which about 70 percent are living in informal settlements. The aim with this study is to make a design proposal for a park and recreation area where the Msimbazi river basin in the centre of Dar es Salaam is today. The basin consist of a few playing fields, footpaths and some urban farming, but apart from this it mostly consists of unused grasslands, swamps and forests. Because it is an unsafe place and badly connected to the rest of the city infrastructure, it has become a barrier. The annual flood combined with the constant still shallow water creates a good breading ground for malaria mosquitoes.

Facilitated by the breakthrough of the internet, new ways of organizing internet-based projects that harness the power of the crowds are becoming increasingly common. Today there are ways of using the crowd as paid labour, as funders of your new project ventures and even for helping scientists doing science. Staying true to its traditional principles of objectivity and trustworthiness while asking the crowd to contribute, crowd generated ?Citizen Science? does not provide even the slightest amount of pay in exchange for the time and effort put in by their contributors. Surely there can not be many people willing to do such a thing voluntarily? Actually, practice is showing the exact opposite with contributions counted in their millions among the more popular Citizen Science projects.
