Abstract In the following text we analyse different perspectives in a meeting between a theatre and a visiting school class from grade six in the Swedish Primary School, in order to investigate the conditions for children?s participation and for making children?s own voices heard in professional theatres. Though it is common for Swedish theatre artists to try to understand and interpret children?s perspectives, it is rare for children to be given the opportunity to show their own perspectives in professional theatres in Sweden (Davet 2011 p. 18).

There are a number of questions linked to these aspects where some examples this study examines are which advantages, disadvantages, obstacles or other limitations that comes with introducing IT? This study also examines how, when and in what contexts IT is being used? Other questions examined are the pedagogue?s general views of IT, competence development and eventual needs of investment? Further on this study examines to some part how children interact with IT during pedagogical activities? The overall objective is to shed light on problems that preschool staff encounter  in their daily work and on the basis of identifying important questions at issue that could constitute a basis for further research. The results of this study are based on both a literature review and a field study.

I aimed to study the effects of regulators connected with the patient journal as a source of information for the innovative project.

In year 2009, a new housing form (here referred to as "owned apartments", in Swedish called "ägarlägenheter") was introduced in Sweden. Owned apartments are in many countries the dominating form of housing tenure, but in Stockholm, to where this thesis is delimited, only four have been established in four years. There are many possible reasons for this low establishment, but the thesis writers believe the main reason to be that the owned apartment is situated in an organizational gap. With the hypothesis that the owned apartment is situated in an organizational gap and that there are opportunities to overcome this gap through interorganizational collaboration of the players on the market, this thesis strives towards examining if this is the case.By using Burt's theory of structural holes the concept of organizational gaps are elaborated to fit this context, since this area is previously unexplored.The data has mainly been gathered through in-depth interviews but also through secondary sources such as previous theses and newspaper articles. It has appeared that the majority of the central players are characterized by conservatism.

Bakgrund: Sjuksköterskor på neonatalavdelningar arbetar ofta i nära relation med föräldrar till för tidigt födda barn. Föräldrars delaktighet i omvårdnaden av sitt barn kan påverka förälderns psykiska hälsa, anknytning till barnet samt påverka barnets välmående och möjlighet till utveckling. Syfte: Beskriva barnsjuksköterskors upplevelser av att optimera föräldrars delaktighet i omvårdnaden av sitt för tidigt födda barn. Metod: Kvalitativ studie med induktiv ansats. Genom ett bekvämlighetsurval rekryterades åtta kvinnliga barnsjuksköterskor vid två jämförbara neonatalavdelningar i södra Sverige att delta vid semistrukturerade intervjuer.

This study is predominantly qualitative. It is also descriptive to a large extent and notoriented towards hypothesis-testing.

Syftet med vår undersökning har handlat om att försöka få klarhet i vad som hindrar eller möjliggör skolutveckling. Vi har i examensarbetet Möjligheter och hinder för förverkligandet av en självförnyande och demokratisk skola ? Sett utifrån olika perspektiv och ramfaktorteorin (Possibilities and obstacles for fullfullment of a modern and democratic school ? Analysed from different perspectives and the framefactor theory) ställt ett antal frågeställningar som vi besvarat genom ett deduktivt, kvalitativt arbetssätt. Detta innebär att vi utgått från teori och hypoteser som vi sedan prövat med verkligheten genom intervjuer. Synen på skolutveckling har skiftat, men en gemensam nämnare vi iakttagit är att nästan samtliga informanter associerar begreppet mot något framåtsyftande och gemensamt för skolan att sträva mot som en måluppfyllande helhet.

Wind power is one of the sources of renewable energy which has to be developed further in order to lessen our dependence on non renewable sources of energy. It's mainly oil and coal which have to be replaced by green energy. Wind power is already established in many countries, for example Germany, The United States of America and Denmark but it has to be continually developed and expanded to meet the needs of the growing energy consumption in the world. During the last few years many types of small wind turbines have appeared on the market. These small wind turbines are an alternative to the big wind turbines or power generators which demand huge sums of investment money.A new target group can now buy the small wind turbines in order to cover their own usage of electricity.

Background: Language skills are of great importance for all work at school and for students' future life and activities. Therefore it is particularly important that preschool and school in every way possible should encourage and support ALL children's linguistic development. Many linguists points out that all learning takes place best in natural and meaningful contexts and around a meaningful content.Theory: The study is based on theories created by the renowned theorist Lev Vygotsky who illustrates what is important to encourage children's reading development. Vygotsky?s theories regarding the zone for the next development were reflected in the study.
