The purpose of this paper was to learn more about the strategies used by senior high school librarians and teachers in educating their students' information skills, such as criticism of the information sources. The paper was based upon qualitative interviews with one senior high school librarian and three senior high school teachers. The respondents were asked to spontaneously tell me about their counseling strategies when the students do research assignments in medicine-oriented subjects. The respondents? narratives were analyzed with Carol Collier Kuhlthau?s theories about the information search process and its levels of mediation, as well as with literature about counseling strategies in mind.

The aim of this essay was to investigate how teachers in the preschool class work with literacy. How do they justify the methods used to develop children's literacy abilities? I also wanted to know to what extent teachers enable multimodal approaches within written language practices. My study considers the impact teachers' professional identity has on working methods in the preschool class. I hope this essay will help teachers reflect on their learning approach. I gathered information by interviewing three preschool teachers and one compulsory school teacher for the early years working in three different preschool classes in three different schools.

The supply of uninterruptible power can be applied to many areas wherecontinuous operation is highly prioritized.The application of uninterruptible power for motor operation is facilitatedusing a frequency converter. Direct current operated frequency converters canbe applied directly to the power reserve which removes the need for additionalpower-converting.Batteries have long constituted the power reserve but advancements inthe development of ultracapacitors have created a viable substitution. Ultra-capacitors have high energy storing capabilities and can be applied to highpower applications.Maxwell is a leading manufacturing company of ultracapacitors and pro-vide different modules with built-in solutions for voltage balancing. Unevenvoltages between series-connected capacitors is a phenomenon caused by vary-ing capacitance. A configuration containing Maxwell?s 56V module is createdand constitutes the power reserve in the simulations.The discharge simulation shows a significant current that could damagethe system.

Vässarös rederi bedriver idag transporter av gods och dessutom passagerartrafik, till och från Vässarö, med vanlig diesel som bränsle. I detta arbete undersöks vilka alternativa bränslen som skulle kunna användas i Vässarös fartyg. Syftet med detta arbete är att undersöka hur Vässarös rederi kan byta till ett bränsle som har mindre påverkan på miljön. Information har sammanställts om flera bränsletyper och intervjuer har genomförts med motortillverkare, bränsleleverantörer och ett skärgårdsrederi som genomfört tester med syntetisk diesel. Resultatet visar att ett tänkbart alternativt bränsle är syntetisk diesel och det bränslet skulle ej kräva modifieringar av motor eller bränslesystem och ej heller nya förvaringsrutiner.

ABSTRACTMusic and differences in knowledge ? a study of music teachers experiences with differences in musical knowledge. The purpose of this paper is to, out of a music teacher?s perspective, see if the differences in music abilities between 7th grade students are at all, or in some ways connected to the previous schools they?ve attended. I will also research in what areas, in the subject of music, students are differing more, as well as less, in their knowledge. The analysis is based on interviews with six 7th grade music teachers working in the Swedish nine-year compulsory school system.

This study focuses on trying to understand the attitudes of people born in the 1940?s concerning their view on social media. This 1940?s group has been growing on the social networks such as Facebook, but their usage is not active. Therefore, the purpose of this report is to understand in what way they are affected by the using of these platforms.

The purpose of this study is to explore students? perceptions and experiences of the school-subject Swedish. Ten qualitative interviews with students in school year nine have been carried out and the results of these interviews constitute the basis of this study. The result shows that students have a straight-forward attitude towards Swedish as a school-subject. The students identify skills such as reading, writing and speaking, and work in school mainly concerns perfecting these skills. The students think of Swedish as a subject with a clear purpose and find it important and useful. The result also shows that the students want grading for the purpose of further motivation.

This study highlights the importance of computer technology and its impact on elder care staff's skills development in the public sector. The government presents the digital agenda within which information and communication technology today is considered to have a potential for sustainability, growth and development. According to the EU Commission, there are several important elements that should be improved to digitize the workplace. Among these are digital literacy, collaboration between agencies and increased investments in research, education and innovation. New technology can be understood in different ways by individuals, some see the computer as something positive and exciting, while others may find it hard to see the opportunities for learning and development.

Detta projekt handlar om att byta motor på ett äldre flygplan en PA28-161 (Piper Cherokee Cadet ) med registreringsbeteckning SE-KMI som ägs av Västerås Flygklubb.SE-KMI är ett äldre flygplan som är tillverkat år 1989 och har en förbrukad motor av typen Lycoming som går på bränslet Avgas 100 LL. Idag möter sådana flygplan stora problem runt om i världen och har svårt att konkurrera med de nyare varianterna. Anledningen till detta är att de har blivit alltmer oekonomiska och icke miljövänliga på grund av den höga bränsleförbrukningen och den ständiga prisökningen på bränslet. En annan faktor som gör situationen ännu svårare är tillgången på bränslet ( Avgas 100 LL ) både i Sverige och runt om i världen.För att man ska kunna hålla flygplanet i drift, så anser man att den bästa lösningen är att byta motorn till en annan typ som ska gå på en typ av bränsle som är billigare, lätt åtkomligt samt har lägre bränsleförbrukning och miljövänligare.  Metoden som används i denna rapport har gått ut på att undersöka marknaden för att samla information om val av ny motor och att ta kontakt med berörda myndigheter för att kolla upp vad lagen säger, att jobba med dokumentationer och att ansöka om nya certifikat.

The case method is a relatively new pedagogical method in Sweden that is based on students exercising their skills in the analysis of complex situations and problems that are based in reality and that help students to see a broader perspective and context.The purpose of this study has been to investigate, through interviews with students and teachers, the advantages and disadvantages of the case method in teaching geography.The results of the study show that both teachers and students share almost the same opinion. The conclusion is that the case method is a didactic method that is well suited for teaching geography, as it is based on reality and develops the students? ability to analyze, argue and find solutions in several areas within the subject of geography. If a student is strong in these skill areas they can really benefit from the application of the case method in the teaching of geography, but for students who are weaker in these skills, the case method can be a disadvantage.

The purpose of this paper is to study Uno von Troil's book Bref rörande en resa til Island MDCCLXXII as part of the transfer of knowledge about Iceland to Sweden and Europe during the late 1700s. On the basis of discussions on travel books and the image of 'the other', 'I will argue that von Troil, using the skills he already had access to, as well as the skills he acquired after his trip, provides a multifaceted picture of Iceland. At the same time, I will examine how von Troil conveys information about Iceland both to a Swedish and a European audience and illustrate his network relationships and career aspirations..
