One of the main goals in this study is to investigate how young children's identity formation and social relationships are depicted by today's consumer society.  In order to reach the goals of the study I also concentrated myself on questions regarding the reflection of symbolic aspects consumption in younger children's interaction and preschool-teachers' ideas about how and in what ways children's consumption patterns are created and developed nowadays. In order to answer the presented research questions I used the theoretical arguments of researchers in the field of pedagogy Gert Biesta in connection with the ideas and concepts of the consumer society characteristics developed by the sociologist Zygmunt Bauman.The thesis' methodological approach consists of a combination of semi-structured interviews with teachers and observations of children's interaction, which contributed to a systematic investigation of the thesis' problem area and served as a tool for obtaining answers to the research questions.The results demonstrate that consumption occupies a lot of space in young children's lives, which means that it greatly affects their social relationships today. Both consumption and knowledge of the known brands prove to be the child's path to the desired community on the one hand, and the children's way to the consumer world on the other (hand), which in turn points to an obvious dependence between children's consumption and their social relationships.The results also show that there is a tension between the perception of identity formation as preschool-policy-document on the one hand and the attitude of the identity prescribed by consumer society norms and regulations on the other..

Background Swedish nurses are required by law to document nursing care. Studies have proved scarce in nursing documentation with regard to written language, the nursing process and the nurse´s caring perspective. Educating nurses in using the VIPS model have improved nursing documentation. Few studies have included nursing documentation of psychiatric care.Aim The aim of this study was to describe nursing documentation within psychiatric care of inpatient settings.Method A quantitative, retrospective descriptive research design was applied. A total of 60 nursing journals from a psychiatric department of six wards were studied.

The purpose of this study is to analyze how special education is done in relation to what is considered "normal". The aim is to discuss how the normalization discourse appears in a pre-school for all and, by extension, how the need of special education is articulated in relation to the normalization discourse. This study also intends to discuss how the perception of what is normal affects special education in pre-schools. The study draws upon previous research within the special education area through which we make our position. Since there is only a few studies in this chosen field which are based on empirical data, our study indicates the importance of more research in this field.

The aim of this study was to examine the experience, knowledge and attitude to mandatory reports of mistreatments amongst first line managers and assistance nurses in municipal elderly care.

Denna uppsats handlar om texturval hos nio svensklärare i gymnasiet, samt deras tolkning av kursplanens formulering ?centrala verk?. Författaren till denna uppsats tar, förutom valet av tryckta skönlitterära texter, även upp multimodala texter och försöker undersöka vilka texttyper de intervjuade lärarna föredrar att använda i sin undervisning. Syftet är att försöka få en inblick i hur texturvalet hos gymnasielärare i svenska, i relation till kursplanens ?centrala verk?, kan gå till.Nio svensklärare som arbetar på gymnasiet har intervjuats via mail.

Syftet med examensarbetet är att söka kunskap kring vilka möjligheter och hindergrundskollärare erfar vid samverkan och inkluderad undervisning, mellangrundsärskolan och grundskolan, på skol-, grupp- och individnivå. Vidare är avsiktenatt undersöka grundskollärares behov av specialpedagogiskt stöd för att samverkanoch inkludering ska möjliggöras och utvecklas.I denna rapport presenteras resultatet från en kvalitativ fenomenologiskflermetodsundersökning, bestående av datainsamling i tre steg; litteraturstudier,enkätfrågor via g-mail som kompletterats med en fokusgruppsintervju, med läraresom har erfarenhet av att undervisa grundsärskoleelever i grundskolan. Deninsamlade datan från enkätstudien sorterades och kategoriserades i Googlesdataprogram, likt en matris. Svaren i enkäten kompletterades sedan genom enfokusgruppsintervju, för att öka förståelsen, förtydliga empirin och stärkatillförlitligheten. Resultaten i empirin har sedan ställts mot litteraturstudiet, skolansstyrdokument, olika perspektiv på specialpedagogik och den sociokulturella teorin.

Marknadsstrukturen för djursjukvården har förändrats på grund av de riskkapitalbolag som sedan slutet av 2011 började visa starkt intresse och köpte upp ca 85 djursjukhus och djurkliniker runtom i Sverige. Från att ha varit kraftigt decentraliserad har nu djursjukvården på kort tid omstrukturerats till några få stora koncerner som till stor del dominerar branschen. Med detta som bakgrund är det högst aktuellt att skapa en förståelse för vad ägarförändringen och omstruktureringen i den svenska privatdjursjukvårdsbranschen har medfört för effekter på personalens arbetsmiljö i de riskkapitaluppköpta företagen. Tidigare forskning har visat att företagsuppköp har effekter för personalens arbetsmiljö. De effekter som studeras är personalens upplevelse av arbetsuppgifter, arbetsbelastning, engagemang, arbetsplatsbyte, rekrytering och uppsägning efter riskkapitalbolagens uppköp.

Since we all live in an increasingly globalized world where goods and money are transported more easily and with tougher competition, it is a natural step for Swedish companies to establish themselvs abroad in order to increase their gorwth rate and reach more customers. Today all of us belong to the same global network and the purpose of this thesis is to investigate which factors are important for companies when they choose to establish themselvs on a foreign market. The focus of the investigation has been the market of Germany and Spain, since both countries just like Sweden are members of the European Union, but still have quite different characteristics. We, the authors, have also been living in Spain and Germany during the time of investigation and writing. The companies we have chosen to look closer into are Abba Seafood, which now has merged with Procordia Food, and Oatly AB.

Med modern medieteknik utvecklas nya sätt att kommunicera. Bland läsare av litteratur märks det inte minst. Tendensen, som blir allt tydligare, visar att amatörkritik fyller ett slags tomrum i litteratursamhället. Alltfler skriver rakt ut i bloggsfären om sina läsupplevelser, eller letar sig först fram till internetbokhandlares webbadresser. Det förekommer även att läsare skriver direkt till författare.

I detta examensarbete behandlar jag anbudskalkylering. Jag kommer räkna på ett anbud vars förfrågningsunderlag enbart består av ett mail och en planritning.Ett anbud är en offert entreprenören skickar till beställaren. Offerten är priset på vad entreprenören har räknat att jobbet kommer kosta. Beställaren skickar ut ett förfrågningsunderlag till en eller flera entreprenörer. Förfrågningsunderlaget består oftast av olika beskrivningar, som är kopplat till AMA, AF osv, samt ritningar.Beroende på vilken entreprenadform beställaren/byggherren väljer upprättas anbuden på olika sätt.
