Andelen unga med intellektuell funktionsneds?ttning som kommer i arbete efter avslutad gymnasieutbildning ?r oproportionerlig l?g. Forskningsl?get visar p? en bild av en marginaliserad grupp i samh?llet som i ?verg?ngen mellan skola och arbetsliv st?lls inf?r en komplex verklighet med flera inblandade akt?rer. Elevernas m?jlighet att under gymnasietiden prova olika typer av arbete n?mns som en av flera framg?ngsfaktorer f?r anst?llning men elevernas r?ster om betydelsen av arbetsplatsf?rlagt l?rande, apl, saknas i stort sett helt inom forskningen. Syftet med studien var att unders?ka hur n?gra elever som avslutat sina studier p? anpassad gymnasieutbildning upplevde och erfor l?rande p? apl och syftet var ocks? att unders?ka deras uppfattning om betydelsen av apl f?r att komma in p? arbetsmarknaden, vilket preciserades i f?ljande fr?gest?llningar: Vilka erfarenheter av och uppfattningar om l?rande p? sin apl-plats har tidigare elever p? anpassat gymnasium? Vilken betydelse anser eleverna att apl har f?r m?jligheten till anst?llning? Studien tog sin teoretiska utg?ngspunkt i sociokulturellt och specialpedagogiskt perspektiv och metoden som anv?ndes var semistrukturerade kvalitativa intervjuer som sedan analyserades tematiskt. Resultatet visade att apl givit studiens deltagare viktiga erfarenheter och yrkesrelaterade f?rdigheter som f?r de flesta lett till syssels?ttning och arbete.

The aim of this Master?s thesis is to study the effects that geographical distance have on the control systems in a scattered organization and how this, ultimately, affects the employees in terms of loyalty and motivation. In order to do this, a case study has been conducted on a multinational travel group and its local branches in Thailand. The study is based on a selected number of theories focusing mainly on control systems in multinational contexts as well as on theories regarding communication and autonomy. The conclusion of the study is that geographical distance has led to a rather large autonomy for the local branches and that the headquarter to a large extent rely more on formal control.

Recent years have been very turbulent for most private equity firms. Especially the financial meltdown in global economy has affected the industry, but also the public pressure has made private equity houses change their control strategies towards more conventional methods used in public companies. This thesis aims to put light on the control methods used in listed private equity houses which use a buyout strategy. The paper describes how the control methods change over the different phases the asset experience and how different value generating strategies use altered control methods. Using Merchant's (2003) framework for management control systems and Berg and Gottschalg's (2004) research on value generating strategies in buyouts the thesis shows that action controls as designing instructions for the board and a business plan, together with goal alignment is the commonly used control strategy directly after the acquisition.

Background: The use of reward systems can be of strategic importance as well as an affective mean of control for the organization in its work to achieve its goals. The municipal sector is characterized by its transparency and its responsibility for the taxpayer?s money. We therefore wonder which possibilities the municipal sector has to use reward systems as a men of control. Purpose: We intend to research the possibilities that the reward system offer as a mean of control for employees at the higher municipal level, with a special focus on commitment and motivation.

Goda möjligheter till rörelse och medveten motorisk trÀning skapar goda möjligheter för barn att utveckla motoriska fÀrdigheter, vilket kan leda till bÀttre skolprestationer. Forskning visar att dagens stillasittande aktiviteter sÄ som tv, surfplattor och datorer m.m. har negativ inverkan pÄ hÀlsan och kan leda till en rad olika negativa hÀlsoeffekter. Denna studie fokuserar pÄ pedagogers medvetenhet, syn och kunskap angÄende barns motoriska utveckling samt hur de arbetar för att stimulera förskolebarnen till att utveckla goda motoriska fÀrdigheter. Metoden som anvÀnts i undersökningen Àr semistrukturerade intervjuer med sex stycken förskollÀrare.

This thesis examines the approach for implementing strategy that has been applied by the study object, Svenska Spel. The specific approach originates from the theories of Elliot Jaques, whose key proposal is that individuals have different capability of carrying out tasks over different time-spans. The main purpose of the study is to analyze how the approach has influenced the management control systems in use, in order to ensure that the strategy is successfully implemented on corporate as well as operational level. Twenty in debt interviews conducted with employees, representing a vertical cross section throughout the organization, are the main source of the study?s empirical foundation.

There is no standardized test to control the appropriate physical ability in the Swedish ambulance service. The county in question does not perform annual physical tests. A project has been going to develop science-based physical tests, designed for the ambulance service. The research has resulted in the Aasa-test.Objective: The aims of this study were to examine the ambulance staff perception of the Aasa-test relevance, introduction of annual tests and the importance of their own physical training in relation to ambulance work.Method: A quasi-experimental study with a comparative design has been conducted. Aasa-tests were conducted in 41 randomly selected staff at an ambulance station in central Sweden.

Studien syftar till att se hur personlighet, söka-arbete self-efficacy och locus of control pÄverkas av arbetslöshet. Personlighet mÀts enligt Costa & MacCraes fem-faktor modell och avser dimensionerna extroversion, neuroticism, öppenhet, trevlighet och samvetsgrannhet. Hypotesen Àr att det finns skillnad mellan nyarbetslösa och lÄngtidsarbetslösa avseende personlighet, söka arbete self-efficacy och locus of control. FrÄgeformulÀr innehÄllande pÄstÄende om ovanstÄende faktorer besvarades av en grupp nyarbetslösa och en grupp lÄngtidsarbetslösa. Resultatet visar inga signifikanta skillnader avseende personlighet och söka arbete self-efficacy mellan grupperna.

In 2022, Russia completed its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The EU responded with powerful restrictive measures against Russia to demonstrate its unified support for Ukraine, indicating that the perception of Russia as an external threat to the EU, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), has become increasingly evident following the invasion. Drawing on theory and previous research suggesting that external threats strengthen group identities, I argue that Russia is perceived as an external threat to EU identity in CEE after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Stephan and Stephan's integrated threat theory considers an external threat as either realistic, posing a threat to the ingroup's existence, or symbolic, posing a threat to the ingroup's worldview. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between EU identity and the perception of Russia as a group threat to the EU among individuals in CEE based on the nature of the group threat: realistic and symbolic.

Background: Many companies have outsourced their IT-operations and their expectations of what this IT-outsourcing will contribute to the business are high. Cost cuts are not always a natural outcome of IT-outsourcing. Many companies that have outsourced their IT-operations consider it to be problematic and complex to exercise management control and reach cost control which was the purpose of the IT-outsourcing. Purpose: To describe and analyze what affect IT-outsourcing has on a company?s management control system and a company?s possibility to exercise cost control.
