In this study, religiosity in prison is investigated. What opportunities are there for those detained to practice their religion and how did their religiosity change after they were detained? Six interviews were conducted to gain a better perspective of religiosity in prison. The focus is on Correctional Institution in Kalmar, where surveys have been conducted over a longer period but also the monastery at the Correctional facility in Kumla is discussed. Most interviews were conducted in the prison of Kalmar, in a room where religious conversations are conducted.

The Swedish Library Classification System, known as the SAB-system, can be viewed as a product of the cultural and social norms and values in Sweden during the time in which it was created and subsequently reviewed. The main purpose of this master?s thesis is to examine the archaeology section J in the SAB-system, in order to observe if values and norms within this discipline had any impact on the Swedish Library classification system. Our intention is therefore to verify any correspondence between the choice of topics and hierarchical structure of that section, and the values and norms that ruled the Swedish society during the 20th century at large but with particular emphasis to the academic discipline of Archaeology. At the present, Archaeology is often disputed as a value-free interpretive science.

Vårterminen 2006.

Det har de senaste årtiondena skett en ökning av den internationella handeln vilket har medfört en internationell kapitalmarknad. Användningen av finansiella instrument har ökat och det har uppstått ett behov av enhetliga regler för redovisningen av dessa. Från och med år 2005 ska samtliga börsnoterade företag inom EU redovisa enligt IASB:s standarder. I uppsatsen studerar vi vilka effekter IAS 39 ?Finacial instruments: Recognition and Measurement? kommer att få för svenska börsnoterade företag samt svensk lagstiftning.

Inledning Postoperativt illamående och kräkning är ett välkänt problem efter sövning medgenerell anestesi och drabbar mellan 20 % och 30 % av alla patienter som blir sövda. För attminska de obehag och lidande som illamående och kräkning kan ge den postoperativapatienten vore det optimala att profylaktiskt behandla de patienter som löper en stor risk attdrabbas av postoperativt illamående och kräkning. För att avgöra hur hög risk patienten har attdrabbas av postoperativt illamående och kräkning beskrivs i litteraturen ett flertalriskbedömningsmodeller som sjuksköterskan kan använda sig av. Syfte att granska omanvändandet av en riskbedömningsmodell kan minska frekvensen av postoperativt illamåendeoch kräkning hos patienter som erhållit generell anestesi. Metod Litteraturstudie.

The object of this thesis is to direct attention onto female inmates who is a disregarded user group within the discipline of library and information sciences. This study has been performed on location at the Hinseberg correctional institution where nine female criminal offenders constitute the empirical foundation of our inquiry. The question proposed for solution is as follows: Is there a correlation between socio-cultural prerequisites and the reading habits of the female inmates - and if so how can it be described? Among the conclusions that we have drawn from our study is that the socio-cultural environment has an influence on the well-being of the inmates which in its turn has an impact on their reading. However, the effects on their mental state vary and consequently so does also their reading.

Sedan 1996 står biogas för över hälften av den använda fordonsgasen i Sverige. Det blir således allt mer angeläget att framställa biogas. Biogasprojektet Biogas i Brålanda har för avsikt att framställa biogas genom rötning av naturgödsel/stallgödsel och, eller slakterirester.Materia från en eller flera rötas för att producerar biogas och efter rötningen återstår ett högkvalitativt gödselmedel, biogödsel. Biogödseln skall användas som gödsel på de till projektet anslutna åkrarna. Uppsatsens huvudfråga är huruvida biogödseln från projektet Biogas i Brålanda får användas som gödsel på de till projektet anslutna åkrarna.

Prisons are for many an unknown world, and few know about the prison culture which includes unwritten rules, power structures, interactions and relationships between inmates and correctional employees.While many think that Swedish prisons are too comfortable,inmates are facing extreme stress due to surveillance and detention, by depriving inmates their possibility to shape their own lives. When the inmates is deprived of control over their own life?s the penal system have great power to shape and to influence the inmates.The purpose of this paper is to investigate prisoners' experiences of treatment and exercise of power in prisons. Starting point is to examine what are the kinds of relationships between prison officers and inmates from a power perspective, if there is any difference between the closed and open prisons and how the inmates affected by the structures that exist.Based on my overall purpose, and with my informant´s stories which revealed a number of similar points, four main headings were developed; Mass media and society´s view, and unknown world, interaction between inmates and prison officers and consequences.Prison officers with the role as a contact persons as well and other staff which work close to the inmates play a significant role by supporting through motivational interviewing and can help the inmates to gain insight about their life situation and actions. My informant?s underlined that a good contact person can either help or discourage.Inmates who contributed with their experiences express that there is a big difference between open-and closed prisons.

In my study I have chosen to examine the mathematics in children's free play and everyday situations, with focus on sorting and classification. The purpose of the study was to see how children express their mathematical knowledge. I have chosen to use a qualitative method in my examination, here I did observations in a children's group where the children were between three and six years old. I also did interviews with the teacher's on the department to see how they relate to the mathematics and how they formulate the department to achieve as good a learning environment as possible.The result shows that the teacher's approach is incredible important to the children's learning ability and that they are always present to challenge and discuss together with the children. The observation indicates that children use mathematics all the time in their everyday situations and that it is the interaction between individuals and environment that affects children's development. .

In this two-years masters thesis the information practices of former interns are examined in relation to a possible lack of certain kinds of information in the prison environment. The essay is positioned in the research field of information practices which means its looking at all kinds of information, formal and informal. Since the essay is in the field of information practices it means the focus lies in how information is taught whithin contexts and groups. Information is not looked at solely as an individual process but is seen as a collective experience.The method of the essay is that of the qualitative research interview. Besides taking an interest in information practices i investigate whether access of information in prisons could be improved and whether the library organisations could be a part of those improvements.The result of my research shows that information in the prison coming from the correctional institution is not perceived as well functioning.

AbstractDet finns skolor som anser att den japanska förhandlingskulturen och den kinesiska förhandlingskulturen är identiska med varandra. De sympatiserar för Raymond Cohens berömda klassificering om högkontextuella förhandlingskulturer. Enligt denna klassificering innebär det att förhandlingskulturerna i fråga inte skiljer sig åt. Men det finns andra skolor som anser att det är fel. De kritiserar klassificeringen och menar att den är för generell vilket medverkar till att olikheter inte framställs.Jag ska försöka konstatera vilka av dessa motpoler som har rätt.

Detta arbete har syftat till att undersöka möjligheterna till förbättring av material- och produktionsstyrning vid Sandvik Mining and Construction i Sandviken. Målet har varit att skapa ett underlag för förbättrad styrning av ingående material. Nulägesanalysen visade att förbättringspotential fanns inom klassificeringen av hårdmetallämnen och komponenter. Dessutom var det önskvärt att ett kanbansystem uppfördes på de förslipade hårdmetallstiften som går till den helautomatiska STAMA-cellen. Examensarbetet har gett underlag för en omstrukturering av denna klassificering men även för en framtida uppdatering av den.

Mälarenergi AB ägs av Västerås stad och är ett kommunalägt energibolag som verkar i Mälardalsregionen. Enligt van Weele (2012) utgör ett företags inköpskostnad cirka 50 % av nettoomsättningen vilket innebär att inköpskostnaden är en viktig del i företagens resultat. Mälarenergi har under 2012 påbörjat en centralisering av inköpsfunktionen, där en del av arbetet inkluderar inköpsstrategiska åtgärder för att klassificera företagets varor och tjänster.Syftet med denna studie var att genomföra en klassificering av koncernen Mälarenergi AB:s varor och tjänster för att reducera koncernens totala inköpskostnader. För att kunna genomföra klassificeringen samt svara på tillhörande frågeställningar valde författarna att genom en förstudie intervjua en inköpsexpert vid Linköpings universitet samt en inköpschef på ABB. Detta resulterade i att författarna kunde få feedback på sitt förslag på tillvägagångssätt för klassificeringen då dessa personer kunde dela med sig av sina erfarenheter av klassificeringsarbete.
