Syftet med examensarbetet var att undersöka om vi kan främja barns intresse och omsorg för naturen genom skapande aktiviteter och lekar. Undersökningen genomförde vi i två lågstadie klasser en i norr och en i södra Sverige. Vi valde det för att vi båda ville göra den praktiska delen av examensarbetet på orter där vi kommer ifrån. Vi genomförde vår undersökning med hjälp av en kvalitativ metod för att vi skulle göra obsevationer av barn och de skulle ge oss ett bra resultat. De aktiviteter och lekar vi arrangerade, hade en betydelse för barnens inresse och omsorg för naturen skulle främjas.

Sveriges Radio stores their data in large archives which makes it hard to retrieve specific information. The sheer size of the archives makes retrieving information about a specific event difficult and causes a big problem. To solve this problem a more consistent use of metadata is needed. This resulted in an investigation about metadata and keyword genera-tion.The appointed task was to automatically generate keywords from transcribed radio shows. This included an investigation of which systems and algorithms that can be used to generate keywords, based on previous works.

The aim of this study is to analyze how individuals experience their eating disorder, the focus being if anorexia may be perceived as a secure safe zone in the new modern world. The aim is to examine if individuals affected with anorexia nervosa understand the disorder as a solution to the modern worlds changes and the new individual freedom that it entails. This will be analyzed with the help of terms in Erich Fromms theories about escape mechanisms and Catarina Kinnvalls theories about the modern worlds ontological insecurity.The study is based on data collected from four informants of different ages and gender. The interviews were conducted through email and informants were chosen based on a strategic selection and snowball sampling. For the analysis of the empirical material Fromms escape mechanisms (authoritarianism, destructiveness and automaton conformity) and Kinnvalls theories of identity in the modern world have been used.The results of the analysis show that the eating disorder has a great significance for the individual construction and maintenance of identity and that the eating disorder becomes a safe zone to retreat to in a world of performance anxiety.

Previous research has focused limited attention on how personality affects job search for university educated people in work and no studies have focused on the difference between active and passive job seekers. This survey-based study that examined university educated economists and engineers with 5-25 years of experience, showed that career ambition mediated active job search for the personality dimensions of openness, agreeableness and extraversion and also gave clear evidence that active job seekers have lower levels of job satisfaction, and higher levels of career ambition, agreeableness and extraversion, compared with passive job seekers. These findings provide a more nuanced picture of the impact of different recruitment strategies and provide a starting point for in-depth studies on passive job seekers.

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur anhöriga som ger omsorg till sin partner med demenssjukdom upplever sin situation utifrån stöd och information. De sista åren har antalet makar som ger omsorg ökat och prognoser visar att ökningen kommer att fortsätta. Antalet äldre personer kommer de närmaste åren att öka vilket innebär att antalet personer med demenssjukdom också ökar. Metoden som har använts har kvalitativ ansats där fyra intervjuer är gjorda med anhöriga vilka ger sin partner omsorg på grund av demenssjukdom. Tidigare forskning har visat på stöd och information som två viktiga källor för att ge anhöriga som ger omsorg möjlighet att fortsätta med denna omsorg.

Mobbing är ett socialt problem. Därför skapades denna studie för att se om samband råder mellan mobbad, mobbare och personlighetsegenskaper. Dessutom gjordes en könsfördelning för att se om det råder några signifikanta skillnader i händelse, kön och personlighet. För att få svar på dessa syften ställdes frågorna: Hur ser mobbingen ut och vilka drabbas? Har kön och personlighetsegenskaper någon betydelse för om man blir mobbad eller utsätter andra för mobbing? Till hjälp användes en kvantitativ undersökningsmetod.

This study examines the effects of a person's appearence on grading. 80 teachers in Swedish have assessed a text, illustrated with a picture of the supposed author. The pictures were varied by attractiveness, personality in looks, and gender. Furthermore, a text illustrated by a drawing and an unillustrated text were also used in the study. The texts were sent to the teachers by e-mail and assessed on a scale from 1-10 and the Swedish grading scale IG-MVG (Did not pass ? Passed ? Passed with credit - Passed with great credit).
