The aim of the study was to examine whether parental leave can serve as capacitating period in life. More specifically our aim was to get a deeper comprehension of the abilities and competencies developed through parental leave and how these can be of use to the individual when at work. 12 semistructured interviews were conducted with employees from a large organization in the south of Sweden.

Purpose: This paper aims to describe the socialization process that audit associates experience within an auditing firm that is included in the Big 4-sphere. Our purpose is also to describe which attributes that characterize the organizational identity, and how these attributes are reflected in the self-image of the associates. Furthermore, we seek to explain how the socialization process has influenced the organizational identification. This subject is of interest since the business of auditing is facing higher demands from regulators and politicians, due to the bankruptcy of HQ-bank among others during the financial crisis in the beginning of the 21st century. Earlier research claims that the socialization process of recruits, especially in the initial state of the employment, has a major impact on their future values and attitudes in their job performance.

Photography has a big role in information sharing today. Especially in the hotel industry where it is the closest thing a customer can get to the product that is being sold. This study intends to find out how you can make use of rhetorical models and techniques of photography to enhance the communication skills of photos of hotel rooms. The main focus was to understand the difference between informative and emotional photographs and what consumers themselves focus on when choosing a hotel, and also how to use the collected information to create a larger buying interest through hotel photography. Using previous research work and quantitative data collection method, we have concluded that the informational and emotional photography methods have obvious differences but also many similarities, and are most effective used together and that the hotel consumer is more aware of the images influence then we assumed..

Syftet med denna studie var att fördjupa våra kunskaper i hur interaktionen mellan pedagogen och eleverna bidrar till att skapa kön i samlingen. Vårt fokus har varit på pedagogens bemötande av barnen och hur flickor och pojkar kommunicerar i samlingen. Empirin samlades in med hjälp av kvalitativa observationer i en skolklass, årskurs ett, och en förskoleklass. I vårt resultat framgår det hur pojkar får mer utrymme i samlingen och flickor har mer tålamod att vänta på sin tur. Det visade sig även att pojkarna hade djupare samtal med pedagogerna och fick fler följdfrågor än vad flickorna fick.

Pedagogen är jag själv, som för tio år sedan arbetade som elevassistent åt en då tolvårig pojke, vid namn Björn. Björn hade diagnosen ADHD, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, och jag arbetade med honom under två års tid. ADHD yttrar sig som uppmärksamhetsstörning/koncentrationssvårigheter, hyperaktivitet och impulsivitet. Större delen av tiden arbetade vi utanför klassrummet, bara han och jag. Syfte Mötet, som således ägde rum för tio år sedan, var en känslomässig och professionell utmaning för mig och syftet med min gestaltning är att ta reda på huruvida vi efter tio år uppfattade det som ett äkta möte, samt vad det eventuellt har haft för påverkan på oss båda. Då jag har valt att på ett vetenskapligt vis analysera något som i allra högsta grad är ovetenskapligt, nämligen relationen mellan två människor, försöker jag på ett så klart och tydligt sätt som möjligt definiera vad ett äkta möte är. Svårigheten med att arbeta med en frågeställning som belyser något väldigt personligt, ett möte mellan två människor, har varit att frågorna och svaren måste bli mer nyanserade och personliga allteftersom. Tillämpning Jag har använt mig av kvalitativa intervjuer och för att knyta an till mitt huvudämne Kultur, medier och estetiska uttrycksformer, har jag valt göra en gestaltning i form av en film.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka sambandet mellan perfektionism och psykologiska färdigheter hos fotbollspelare. Studien utfördes på 207 fotbollsspelande gymnasieelever som alla gick någon form av fotbollslinje på respektive skola. Informanterna fick fylla i två stycken frågeformulär, Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale som mäter perfektionism och Ottawa Mental Skills Assessment Tool-3 som mäter idrottspsykologiska färdigheter. Resultatet analyserades med hjälp av statistikprogrammet PASW där korrelationer (Pearson) mellan sex dimensioner av perfektionism och tolv psykologiska färdigheter genomfördes. Resultatet visade att det fanns flera signifikanta samband mellan de sex dimensionerna inom perfektionism och de tolv psykologiska färdigheterna. .

Detta examensarbete är gjort på uppdrag av Fiber Optik Valley. Huvuduppdraget i projektet var att skapa ett fungerande betalningssystem för en hotspot och att utveckla företagets webbsida. Hotspotsystemet som baserades på en gratistjänst från Public IP, är tänkt att kunna fungera delvis autonomt utan ägarens ingripande. Företagets webbsida skapades i en Flex2-utvecklingsmiljö och produkten blev en Adobe Flash-applikation. För att få ett dynamiskt och konfigurerbart system skapades även en kontrollpanel till webbsidan åt företagets webbadministratörer, så att innehållet på sidan ska kunna förändras utan att behöva kompilera om koden.
