Det coachande ledarskapet är ett ledarskap som fokuserar på samspelet mellan ledare och medarbetare. För att studera detta ledarskap så har syftet med denna undersökning varit att undersöka upplevelserna av detta ledarskap som personer med beteendevetenskaplig utbildning har. Resultatet visar att undersökningsdeltagarna värderar relationen mellan ledaren och medarbetaren som det grundläggande i ledarskapet. Förutom det coachande förhållningssättet i ledarskapet så handlar det också om hur ledaren är och vilka egenskaper han eller hon har. Det viktigaste är att ha kunskap om sig själv och sitt eget beteende som ledare och här är emotionell intelligens betydelsefullt.

Orsaken till varför män och kvinnor kommunicerar på det sätt som de gör kan bero på flera olika faktorer och inte bara på det faktum att de är män respektive kvinnor..

This master thesis studies distributed navigation which isa function implemented in a future network based combat information system to improve the accuracy in navigation for combat vehicles in a mechanized battalion, above all in the event of loss of GPS. In the event of loss of the GPS the vehicles obtain dead reckoning performance through the backup system that consists of an odometer and a magnetic compass. Dead reckoning means a drift in the position that makes the accuracy in the navigation worse. The distributed navigation function uses position and navigation data with measurements between the vehicles to estimate the errors and uncertainties in positions, which are used to improve the accuracy in position for the vehicles. To investigate and demonstrate distributed navigation, a simulation environment has been produced in Matlab.

I dagens samhälle efterfrågas närproducerad och småskaligt tillverkad mat allt mer. För att gå detta ökade behov till mötes behövs fler småskaliga livsmedelsproducenter. EU och staten satsar på landsbygdsutveckling och småskalig livsmedelproduktion; Sverige ska bli Europas främsta matland enligt jordbruksministern. För att stötta och inspirera producenter funderade Leader Blekinge på hur en utbildning kring livsmedelssäkerhet kan anpassas efter småskaliga producenters behov, då producenterna upplevde att de är i behov av kompetensutveckling. Syftet var att på uppdrag av Leader Blekinge undersöka hur en utbildning i livsmedelssäkerhet skulle kunna anpassas efter småskaliga producenters behov.

Vid Positionsbestämning av radiosändare med TDOA(Time Difference Of Arrival) är det traditionella sättet att låta varje uppmätt tidsskillnad definiera en hyperbelgren på vilken sändaren befinner sig. Skärningspunkten mellan två eller fler hyperbelgrenar ger sändarens position.Målet med examensarbetet är att identifiera möjliga sändarpositioner och detektera mångtydigheter. Problemet har lösts med kägelsnittsmetoden som låter tre mottagares positioner och deras uppmätta tidsskillnader definiera ett kägelsnitt där sändarens position är i en av dess fokuspunkter..

The aim of this essay was to examine whether 10 Swedish newspapers editorial pages and their leader writers changed their view on Mikhail Gorbachev before, during and after the August Coup in 1991. Moreover, the aim was also to see if the editorial pages used the same sources when they wrote about Gorbachev.In this essay four main questions were asked:- How is Gorbachev described before the August Coup?- How is Gorbachev described during the August Coup?- How is Gorbachev described after the August Coup?- What sources did the editorial pages use when they wrote about Gorbachev?Ten newspapers and their editorial pages from the period of 1-31 August and 1-6 September, as well as 10-31 December 1991 and 1 January 1992 were examined. It was discovered that most of the editorial pages changed their view from being negative in August to being more positive in December.As a conclusion it can be stated that the examined editorial pages did not write much about Gorbachev in the beginning of August and if they did mention him it was in a negative tone. One of the reasons for the lack of mentioning during the August Coup could be that the leader writers were not sure whether Gorbachev would return back to power.

Background: The Swedish Police authorities have accomplished several changes the last years. We have studied one of these changes, the co-ordination of two supporting functions, economy and staffadministration at the Police authorities in Östergötland, Jönköping, Södermanland and SKL (Swedish crime technical laboratory). The initiative to this change was taken in 2002 and in 2003 a decision was made to create a joint servicecenter.Purpose: The purpose of this rapport is, in a collaborator perspective, to study the employees´ experiences of the change process.Method: The empirical material was collected throw interviews with the employees who have taken part in the change process. Even the leader of the project has been interviewed.Results: We have distinguished five central aspects in the change process. These are information/communication and understanding, the project leader, teamwork, timeaspect/reflexion and the leadership.

The purpose of this essay was to investigate the experience of being young and living in Herrgården in Rosengård, Malmö, from the aspects of six adolescents, two police officers, one social worker and one youth leader; and also what the cause is according to them, of disturbances arousing like those in the spring of 2007. At this moment there were antagonisms between adolescents and policemen. The research was performed with a qualitative method based on partly structured interviews. Four kinds of main themes were notable from the interview results. Those were: Growing up in Herrgården, Other peoples' view of Herrgården, Identity and Causes of the disturbances.

The purpose of the study is to illustrate the choices of sports profiled education amongst pupils in the upper secondary school. Special attention is brought to whether there exist any differences between team- and individual competitors in their view on sport and education. One hypothesis that constitutes the base of the study is that pupils from lower social class, in a higher extent, tend to be team competitors and choose sport activities prior education. The result has been interpreted against Bourdieu's cultural sociology, in which the central concepts are habitus and cultural- and economic capital. The method that has been used is quantitative in the form of a questionnaire study which 277 pupils have answered.                   The result shows that the sportsmen, regardless type of sport, are not influenced by social position regarding choice of education and in their view on education and studies.

Syftet med studien är att undersöka om och hur socioekonomisk position samvarierar med tandlöshet före och efter pensionsåldern samt med försämrad tandstatus. Datamaterialet som används är Levnadsnivåundersökningen (LNU) 1968 och 1981 och Undersökningen om äldres levnadsvillkor (SWEOLD) 1991, 2002 och 2004 och i studiepopulationen ingår personer som intervjuats i LNU och SWEOLD och som var 69-88 år vid tiden för uppföljning. Datamaterialet analyseras med logistiska regressioner. Analyserna visar att lägre socioekonomisk position ökar risken för att vara tandlös före och efter pensionsåldern och för att få försämrad tandstatus under denna period. Egen utbildning och socialklass har samtidigt samband med tandlöshet före respektive efter pensionsåldern, med något starkare samband mellan utbildning och tandlöshet, medan försämrad tandstatus enbart uppvisar samband med socialklass.
