Syftet med föreliggande uppsats var dels att få förståelse för hur lärare respektive specialpedagoger ser på barn i socioemotionella svårigheter, dels att undersöka om socioemotionella svårigheter kan leda till problem i interaktionen med den övriga barngruppen. Vi ville också belysa om samverkan mellan hem och skola är en förutsättning för att komma till rätta med elevens problem.För att kunna nå denna förståelse har vi använt oss av kvalitativ intervju. Vi intervjuade tre lärare respektive tre specialpedagoger på två skolor. Forskningsfrågorna i uppsatsen är:Hur ser lärare respektive specialpedagoger på elever i socioemotionella svårigheter?Kan elevers socioemotionella svårigheter leda till problem i interaktionen med den övriga barngruppen? Hur ser samverkan ut mellan hem och skola avseende elever i socioemotionella svårigheter?Vårt resultat visar att synen som lärare respektive specialpedagoger har på barn i socioemotionella svårigheter är att det i första hand handlar om utagerande beteende.Vår undersökning visar också att barn i socioemotionella svårigheter har avsevärda problem i sin kommunikation och i samspelet med barn och vuxna.Intervjuresultatet visar vidare på hur viktigt det är med en god samverkan mellan hem och skola för att kunna komma till rätta med en elevs problem..

We want to search knowledge in how teachers with a focus on after-school recreation centre estimate how their own competence is used in after- school recreation center and school and what expectations/apprehensions they have on their profession in the future. In our study we have asked teachers with a focus on after-school recreation center how they estimate that their competence has been used in after-school recreation center during the last three years. The method we have used to illustrate this is the Delphi method Nordänger (2009), where we interviewed eight respondents by e-mail. From the responses, we have found that teachers with a focus on after-school recreation center experience that their skills should get more attention in the school. They want to combine care and pedagogy that supports students' physical, intellectual, social and emotional development.

A debate in finance is whether a random investment gives the same return as carefully choose and valuing an amount of shares to invest in. Stock valuating Stock valuation is often done by fundamental valuation models, based on the company's underlying character, which tries to put a correct price on the stock. Today there are several different valuation models that can be used for this purpose. Since valuation models are only mathematical, equity research is underpinned by more subjective assessments about the company and its future.The purpose with this thesis is to describe which valuation models that are used by professional stock analysts, but also to see if the reliability on the equity research is affected by the used model to valuing the company. Furthermore, we want to see if the job that?s been done to understand the company, measured by the equity research quality, impact the reliability on the equity research.In this thesis, we have, to achieve our purpose, conducted a quantitative content analysis of 164 equity research done by professional analysts at firms listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange. With basis in previous research, we have developed a method for determining the valuation model that is used in the equity research, the reliability on the equity research and a framework for assessing the quality of the equity research.In the theoretical framework the valuation models involved in our study are described, previous research on the reliability on the equity research and their practical use.

The study's starting point is the cultural, economic, social and health which is relevant when different levels of society affirms. The aim has been the basis of the representation levels of society discern what is valued and given priority as well as the measures and the strategies used in implementation. The empirical data underlying the study is qualitative studies with respondents from a university, a hospital, a school, the Swedish Embassy and an organization in order to create an image of different levels in society means to implement preventive measures on HIV and AIDS to their citizens. The result demonstrates that there are clear shortcomings in its implementation guidance on prevention measures for HIV and AIDS as lack of resources is based.

The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze homelessness in a medium-sized municipality from an organizational perspective. Some of the central questions in this study are: How is the cause of homelessness explained? How do different actors in the community address, prevent and combat homelessness? Who is responsible for the homelessness?This study is based on four semi-structured interviews with organizations that work with homelessness. The analysis is based on problem definition theory.The result of this study shows that homelessness is a problem in this medium-sized municipality even if it is not a big one and that it is often closely combined with substance abuse. The responsibility for the homeless is on the homeless themselves and the social service because that causes is, according to this study, individual based.  .

This thesis examines the subject of reference interviews and the ways librarians form an opinion of users information needs. Using literature and interviews with three librarians I look at the questions below: - Why and when are reference interviews needed? - What significance do they have? - What ideas exist about the performance of reference interviews? - Are there any differences in librarians views of the questions above compared to views in the literature? Results from literature studies and interviews show that reference interviews can be important when librarians try to find out more about users information needs. However its neither necessary nor possible to analyse all reference questions. Librarians therefore need to determine if a reference interview is needed or not.

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur lärare använder sig utav IKT för elevernas lärande samt vilken kompetensutveckling inom IKT de får från sin arbetsplats. Två teorier tillämpas i studien, det sociokulturella perspektivet och TPACK modellen. För att besvara frågeställningarna har en kvalitativ metod i form av intervjuer genomförts. Resultatet visar att det finns en variation i hur lärare använder sig utav IKT för elevernas lärande, bland annat användes IKT i form av presentation och för informationssökning. Vidare visar resultatet att lärare generellt får kompetensutveckling inom IKT men att den ges på olika sätt och ibland utanför arbetstiden.

Syftet med min studie har varit att undersöka om fritidshemmet kan utgöra en matematisk lärandemiljö. Jag har studerat vilka aktiviteter som kan eller skulle kunna bidra till att barn utvecklar grundläggande matematiska kunskaper. Dessutom har jag försökt identifiera hinder för fritidshemmet som matematisk lärandemiljö. För att undersöka detta har jag använt mig av deltagande observation som metod samt intervjuer. Datamaterialet har samlats in på två fritidshem i två olika kommuner.

This paper investigates decision-making under uncertainty and complexity. The focus point of the study was to investigate how organizations in Stockholm has come to a decisions on how to manage the trial implementation of a congestion tax in terms of their company cars. The study was conducted as a survey with complementary interviews with the decision makers in change of congestion tax problem. The aim of the study was to gain an understanding for the decision making processes, and how and why the companies decided as they did. The theory on which we based our study emanated from both systems theory and business economic theory on decision making.

This paper gives an introduction to the theory of minimal surfaces. It is in- tended for undergraduate students with some basic knowledge of differential geometry and complex analysis.After defining the concept of minimal surface and giving a brief histo- rical survey, we look at some well-known minimal surfaces and a few of their characteristic properties. The connection between minimal surfaces and harmonic functions is discussed and the Weierstrass-Enneper represen- tation formulas are introduced. We also present Bjo?rling?s problem and give some examples. .

This thesis focuses on information seeking and use by volunteers and employees in women?s organisations helping women who have been subject to violence. These organisations for example provide help and support, legal assistance and temporary shelter. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with five women working in Terrafem, which is a women?s organisation directed towards women with a non-Swedish background.

Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva föräldrars erfarenheter av problem med aktivitetsutförande i skolan för barn med ADHD. För att uppnå syftet med studien tog författarna del av tidigare inspelade djupintervjuer med fem föräldrar till barn med ADHD i åldrarna 6-18 år. Vid hantering av data tillämpades kvalitativ innehållsanalys med en induktiv ansats för att analysera föräldrarnas erfarenheter. Analys av data resulterade i följande kategorier: ? Problem i sociala interaktioner hindrade aktivitetsutförande?, ? Den fysiska miljön begränsar aktivitetsutförandet?, ?Institutionella brister hindrar aktivitetsutförande?.

Projektet har undersökt om medveten motorikträning ger några eventuella effekter un-der en sjuveckorsperiod. Projektet ger en bild av hur barns motoriska förmåga kan för-bättras under denna relativt korta tidsperiod. Två barngrupper med 12-15 barn/grupp deltog i projektet, en grupp med fyraåringar och en grupp med femåringar, Under pro-jektets gång hade barngrupperna vars en timme varje vecka under en sjuveckorsperiod som ägnades åt medveten motorikträning med fokus på momenten springa, hoppa och krypa. Vid första och sista tillfället observerades barnen med utgångspunkt i ett obser-vationsschema som skapats med inspiration från MUGI observationsschema (Ericsson, 2005). Projektet visar att medveten motorikträning under en sjuveckorsperiod ger viss utveckling av barns motoriska färdigheter när det gäller att springa och hoppa.

The aim of this study is to become aware of how the children at the after-school care perceive the adults at after-school care. The most interesting parts are to find out what they thought made a good teacher, which qualities were preferable and how the children expressed their opinions. The children often spend long time at the after-school care which means that the children?s work environment matters. The children look at adults from another perspective and see other qualities than adults see in each other.

This Master Thesis is a product development project that has been carried out in cooperation with Scania CV AB. The purpose has been to find the relationship between geometric parameters and the swirl number for an XPI- cylinder head in order to improve the design specification.The increased focus on environmental issues from society leads to tighter emission legislations for the truck manufactures. In order to drive the development forward considerable resources are spent on research and development on diesel engines and its combustion process. The inlet air has a significant impact on the formation of emissions and the flow that is desired is called swirl. Swirl is achieved by making the air rotate around the vertical axis of the cylinder.Earlier cylinder heads that has been developed at Scania CV AB have shown clear relationships between geometric parameters of the cylinder head and the swirl number.
