Enligt styrdokumenten för grundskolan är det av vikt att alla barn har rätt till den hjälp debehöver inom ramen för sin klass. Att vara inkluderad på sina villkor är en rättighet för allaelever. Då det är rektor som är ansvarig för verksamheten i skolan är det betydelsefullt hurrektor ser på begreppet inkludering när det gäller elevers rätt till specialundervisning.För att få reda på hur några rektorer tänker runt inkludering valde vi att intervjua sju rektorermed hjälp av Grundad Teori som arbetsmetod. Vi valde den metoden då det ger ettförutsättningslöst samtal utifrån en enda fråga: Hur tänker rektorer om möjligheten attförverkliga skolans uppdrag angående inkludering?Efter intervjuerna fann vi indikatorer som kunde kategoriseras i ensamhet, okunskap ochuppgivenhet.

I denna uppsats diskuteras hur det kommer sig att vissa människor utvecklar ett spelberoende. Diskussionen utgår ifrån nationalekonomiskt teori, mer precist är det antagandet om den ekonomiska rationaliteten som står i fokus.

This thesis deals with questions about competences and qualities that librarians inpublic libraries find that they need to be qualified suppliers of literature (books andmagazines).Our aim is to problematize the competence of the profession in relation to promotingliterature, knowledge in literature and reading habits. We want to know what librariansthemselves think about their own competences when it comes to supplying andpromoting literature. Does it have to be a leisure interest or do they get the possibility toread during working hours?What do librarians think it means to be a qualified promotor of literature and how dothey acquire the right competence? Do they believe that their competence correspondswith the occupational requirements? How much of their knowledge about literature andpromoting literature comes from personal interest and commitment?We primarily used the theories about competence by Per-Erik Ellström. One of thetheories is the one of implicit and explicit knowledge.

This examination work on studies and research in articles is mostly from other countries. The purpose of the examination work have been to find out if there are any means you can work with to find out when its time to start irrigation, how they works and if they are credible. In Sweden there is not many means for decide when it?s time to irrigate and how much water you should appear. Swedish farmers think they have so much experience that they don?t need techniques like this.

Reklambranschen är ett typiskt exempel på en bransch där kundrelationer ofta är långvariga och personliga. Att skapa strategier och metoder för hur dessa relationer ska vårdas kan vara avgörande för en reklambyrås överlevnad. Syftet med denna uppsats är att utifrån kvalitativa intervjuer och teori undersöka vilka strategier och metoder som reklambyråer använder för att vårda sina kundrelationer. Semistrukturerade intervjuer har genomförts med fem personer som arbetar på olika reklambyråer. De personer som intervjuats är väl insatta i respektive byrås kundstrategier. Resultatet av intervjuerna presenteras och diskuteras i förhållande till utvald teori. De slutsatser författaren drar utifrån teori och resultat är att samtliga av de tillfrågade byråerna verkar arbeta med liknande metoder för att skapa god kundvård. Man individanpassar kundvården efter vem kunden är och vad den behöver. Överlag var kundens lönsamhet en påverkande faktor för hur viktig kunden är för byrån.

Den mänskliga horisonten har alltid varit föremål för expandering. Sökandet efter att finna ny potential i vårt biologiska pussel har varit, och är, något som ständigt utvecklas. En kontroversiell gren i detta sökande utgörs av transhumanism. I denna uppsats tillämpas den teori och ideologi som utgör transhumanism, och återknyts övergripande till filmerna ?Robocop? och ?Gattaca? då dessa filmer belyser punkter som berör denna teori.

I alla tider har människor inlett relationer med varandra men sättet att göra det på har kommit att förändras. Idag har nätdejting vuxit fram som ett internetbaserat forum speciellt designat för att man där skall kunna hitta och kontakta partners. Denna studie undersöker användarnas upplevelser av nätdejtingsprocessen. Den syftar till att beskriva och förstå användarnas upplevelser av att interagera med individer via nätbaserade forum i syfte att utveckla någon form av relation. Det metodologiska angreppsätt som valts för att besvara detta är Barney Glasers variant av grundad teori, detta för att förutsättningslöst kunna undersöka området och låta en relevant problemställning växa fram ut data.

The aim of this Master?s thesis is to examine how representations of identity construction are performed through the characters in the novel Snabba Cash by author Jens Lapidus.

The aim of this masters thesis is to investigate how childrens librarians deal with gender issues in their work when acquiring and mediating books to children, and how reviews in Bibliotekstjänsts Sambindning can be of help in this aspect. The thesis focuses on children between 6 and 12 years of age and their reading of fiction. Four interviews with childrens librarians and an examination of reviews in Sambindningen have been carried out. The reviews were examined both by finding out with what frequency gender issues are dealt with and by studying 20 childrens books from a gender perspective, comparing my judgement with the one they got in the reviews. The examination of Sambindningen showed that the reviews therein only sporadically bring up gender issues.
