The purpose of this study was to examine the controversy surrounding the Swedish methadone assisted rehabilitation program over time. Which course has the Swedish methadone assisted rehabilitation program, and the controversy surrounding it, taken since the start? Which arguments have been for and which have been against a methadone assisted rehabilitation program in Sweden, and what are these arguments based on? We chose to write this thesis as a literature study to get a broad and in depth picture of the development of the program in Sweden. In our analysis we used social constructionism and a medical aspect on substance abuse as theories.It is clear that it has been, and still are, differences in opinions when it comes to the effects of the program. As early as in the 1980's the methadone assisted rehabilitation program was scientifically proved effective and approved by the Swedish Board of Health and Social Affairs.

The purpose of this essay is to describe how probation service officers regard their professional role and their liberty of action within the motivational treatment program, MIK, and the probation organization. To answer the purpose three questions were formulated: 1) Does the probation service organization affect the individual discretion for the probation service officers, and in that case how? 2) Does the motivational treatment program, MIK, influence the probation officers? professionalism and their professional role? 3) What advantages and disadvantages do the probation service officers consider MIK being related to? The method conducted in the study was interviews with five probation service officers in Stockholm. The interviews were combined with a theoretical framework based on themes as organization, professional role, professionalism and motivation. The result showed that probation officers consider themselves to have a relatively high discretion within their work.

This thesis has examined the Tekla Structures modeling software and answered the question of whether it could act as a suitable modeling program for the design department at Bjerking AB in Uppsala. The method used in this work is a case study of a previous project with existing basis to work form. The demarcation of the study was to examine only the usability of the foundations of in situ concrete. The work examined three main areas within the design process. The first was to model the concrete elements then to model the reinforcing and ultimately production of the drawings. Because Autodesk Revit was the existing modeling program in the Department conducted the evaluation as a comparison between the two programs.

Bakgrund: Varje ?r utf?rs ca 30 000 tv?ngs?tg?rder i Sverige. Tv?ngsv?rd inneb?r psykiatrisk v?rd utan patientens samtycke och regleras enligt Lagen om psykiatrisk tv?ngsv?rd, LPT. Tv?ngs?tg?rder, s?som fastsp?nning, tv?ngsmedicinering och avskiljning, anv?nds n?r patienten bed?ms utg?ra fara f?r sig sj?lv eller andra, vilket motstrider patientens autonomi och integritet.

Siffror om könsfördelning inom IT-branschen och pÄ högre tekniska utbildningar talar sitt tydliga sprÄk. Andelen mÀn inom ÀmnesomrÄdena data och teknik Àr ofta betydligt större Àn andelen kvinnor. Detta kan ge till följd att samhÀllet gÄr miste om en stor del potentiella begÄvningar. En jÀmnare könsfördelning brukar dessutom resultera i ett trevligare och gemytligare klimat. För att öka intresset bland kvinnliga studenter för vissa IT-utbildningar har en del universitet och högskolor Àndrat utbildningsformer och innehÄll. NÄgra har Àven utformat sÀrskilda program som vÀnder sig till kvinnor.

Syftet med studien ?r att unders?ka hur omsorg till?mpas f?r att fr?mja l?rande och utveckling f?r elever inom anpassad grundskola som l?ser ?mnesomr?den. Det insamlade datamaterialet har analyserats tematiskt med st?d av socialkognitiv teori. Begreppet self-efficacy, ?ven kallat sj?lvtillit eller sj?lvf?rm?ga, ?r centralt inom denna teori och utg?r tillsammans med Noddings omsorgsteori k?rnan i analysen. Denna etnografiska studie bygger p? 50 timmar kvalitativa videoobservationer, tillsammans med deltagande observationer och f?ltanteckningar av den pedagogiska praktiken p? tv? anpassade grundskolor. Resultatet visar att l?rares och paraprofessionellas f?rv?ntningar p? elevernas f?rm?gor, samt hur omsorg till?mpas, har en betydande inverkan p? elevernas self-efficacy och d?rmed deras f?ruts?ttningar f?r l?rande och utveckling. I resultatet framtr?der tre perspektiv av omsorg, vilka ben?mns som fr?mjande, assisterande och h?mmande.

Syfte: Att undersöka om man avseende pĂ„ ett debatt- och ett granskande program verkligen kan pĂ„stĂ„ att vi idag har en sĂ„dan representativ offentlighet som Habermas talar om (se Val av Teori). Det vill sĂ€ga, att se hur den samhĂ€lleliga eliten presenterar sig sjĂ€lv och sin makt offentligt idag, i ett debatt- och ett granskande program. FrĂ„gestĂ€llning: Hur kan man konkret se att politiker och företagsledare med hjĂ€lp av en sprĂ„klig och visuell retorik presenterar sig sjĂ€lva och sin makt i ett debattprogram och ett granskande program idag? Och vilka likheter/olikheter kan man dĂ„ urskilja i den politiska sjĂ€lvpresentationen mellan dessa program?Val av Teori: JĂŒrgen Habermas teori om Ă„terkomsten av den representativa offentligheten som handlar om att den moderna samhĂ€llseliten har Ă„terutvecklat en modern form av representation, som gĂ„r ut pĂ„ att presentera och representera sin makt inför folket och inte för folket.Val av Empiri: Debattprogrammet ?Argument? pĂ„ SVT 1 och SVT 24. Det granskande programmet ?Uppdrag granskning? pĂ„ SVT 1, SVT 24 och SVT Opinion.Val av Metod: Den retoriska analysen, med ett semiotiskt förhĂ„llningssĂ€tt som vetenskapsteoretisk utgĂ„ngspunkt.

The aim of this study is to compare attitudes to change among innovation and economics students and teachers at one of the universities in Sweden.Data about students? and teachers? attitudes to change was gathered using a survey.Keeping in mind that knowledge can lower ones resistance this study is based on a hypothesis that individuals from the innovations program have a lower resistance to change. The study is also based on earlier research in regards to comparisons between students and teachers.The results of the study show that teachers have less resistance to change than students. Individuals in the innovation program are however less resistant to change than individuals in the economics program.One can discuss whether or not results of the study show that the hypothesis is correct.The difference between individuals in the economics- and the innovation program are statistically significant and has moderate effects in reality. The differences between teachers and students are statistically significant but only have a small effect.It is however a starting-point for future studies that will possibly explore the subject more profoundly..

In 2006, Stora Enso Skog implemented an education program in water management for harvester operators, timber purchasers, cut block planners and supervisors. The focus of the program was creating stream crossings with minimal harm to the stream and the surrounding riparian area. This main purpose of this study was to determine the difference in work procedures before and after participating in the program. The methodology consisted of field studies and interviews with harvester operators and their supervisors. The field study looked at how the streams had been crossed concerning the number of crossings, visible damage to the stream and/or the riparian area made by the machines. Biological parameters such as the width and dept of the stream and amount of large woody debris in the stream were also measured. The field result from 30 harvesting sites showed no significant difference between sites that had been harvested before or after the education program. But the harvester operators and their supervisors experienced an increased concern for watersheds after the educational program.

Andelen unga med intellektuell funktionsneds?ttning som kommer i arbete efter avslutad gymnasieutbildning ?r oproportionerlig l?g. Forskningsl?get visar p? en bild av en marginaliserad grupp i samh?llet som i ?verg?ngen mellan skola och arbetsliv st?lls inf?r en komplex verklighet med flera inblandade akt?rer. Elevernas m?jlighet att under gymnasietiden prova olika typer av arbete n?mns som en av flera framg?ngsfaktorer f?r anst?llning men elevernas r?ster om betydelsen av arbetsplatsf?rlagt l?rande, apl, saknas i stort sett helt inom forskningen. Syftet med studien var att unders?ka hur n?gra elever som avslutat sina studier p? anpassad gymnasieutbildning upplevde och erfor l?rande p? apl och syftet var ocks? att unders?ka deras uppfattning om betydelsen av apl f?r att komma in p? arbetsmarknaden, vilket preciserades i f?ljande fr?gest?llningar: Vilka erfarenheter av och uppfattningar om l?rande p? sin apl-plats har tidigare elever p? anpassat gymnasium? Vilken betydelse anser eleverna att apl har f?r m?jligheten till anst?llning? Studien tog sin teoretiska utg?ngspunkt i sociokulturellt och specialpedagogiskt perspektiv och metoden som anv?ndes var semistrukturerade kvalitativa intervjuer som sedan analyserades tematiskt. Resultatet visade att apl givit studiens deltagare viktiga erfarenheter och yrkesrelaterade f?rdigheter som f?r de flesta lett till syssels?ttning och arbete.

The purpose of this Bachelors thesis is to investigate teachers' work and attitude to life in relation to the curriculum. Furthermore, how teachers look at students' emotional/social development in their general development.

Using theories of social constructivism, deliberative conversation and social and emotional skills, the intention is to interpret the gathered material.The results show that the teachers see knowledge of life in school as important in the foundation of studentsÂŽ emotional/social development. One teacher follows the SET program and two teachers? took inspiration from various other programs and ideas.

In Sweden and in Scandinavia the amount of tree species are rather few. However many different forms of trees arise due to mutations and gives rare appearances like cut-leaved and hanging forms. In some cases these trees are interesting as cultivars and a few of them have become popular garden trees. The knowledge of the original trees and early propagation is meagre.In this study a selected group of trees were found through search of literature. Eight tree forms were chosen and investigated in situ.
