In Based upon disciplinary foundation... ? A study on teachers? prerequisite for continuing pro- fessional development (CPD) I have examined the prerequisites that teachers in Nacka have for CPD, due to the new school law that states that all teaching must be based upon disciplinary foundation and proven experience. According to a recently published governmental report, as well as international research, not only structural aspects like time and financial compensation are crucial to whether teachers continue their development. Encouragement from the principal and colleagues are also a contributing factor; and not to mention those factors combined.There is a world wide shared consensus among educational researchers claiming that one very important piece in creating a successful school is having a well-educated and updated staff.

The aim of this study was to investigate whether a direct shift inpostural alignment results in changes in voice source characteristics. Ninemales with untrained voices were recorded standing in ideal posturalalignment and in the deviant postures swayback and kyphosis characterizedby extended hips and a slump back respectively. The voice source wasderived from the audio signal by inverse filtering. The parameters pulseamplitude, maximal flow declination rate, level difference between the firstand second voice source partials, closed quotient and the normalizedamplitude quotient in relation to subglottal pressure were compared betweenideal postural alignment and swayback and kyphosis respectively. Resultsindicate an impact of changed postural alignment on the voice source.Swayback posture gave significantly less pulse amplitude and maximal flowdeclination rate and significantly higher subglottal pressures thus resulting ina less effective phonation.

GE Healthcare operates in Uppsala (Sweden) and develops systems, equipments and medium to purify medical substances. Discussions with the local authority concerning planed far-reaching changes and upgrades of the biological process techniques for sewage management, aroused the question about revising the terms of permit for the activity. Therefore it seemed necessary to evaluate a newly installed biological process technique, which is the background of this thesis. The evaluated biological treatment process was built in 2003 and consists of a biological reactor filled with moving bed carriers with a high surface area for biological growth. At the time of the project the biological wastewater treatment plant consisted of a flow equalization facility and two following parallel biological processes; a biological reactor with moving bed carriers and a tower trickling filter.The aim of this thesis was to survey the function of the biological reactor with respect to the reduction of organic matter.

Lindrig kognitiv sto?rning (eng. mild cognitive impairment, MCI) a?r en term som bo?rjade anva?ndas pa? 1990-talet fo?r att bena?mna personer med kognitiva tillsta?nd i gra?nsomra?det mellan normalt fungerande och demens. Syftet med MCI-forskningen a?r att identifiera individer med demenssjukdom i ett mycket tidigt skede av sjukdomen fo?r att i framtiden kunna sa?tta in behandling tidigare a?n idag.

Syftet med studien ?r att unders?ka hur omsorg till?mpas f?r att fr?mja l?rande och utveckling f?r elever inom anpassad grundskola som l?ser ?mnesomr?den. Det insamlade datamaterialet har analyserats tematiskt med st?d av socialkognitiv teori. Begreppet self-efficacy, ?ven kallat sj?lvtillit eller sj?lvf?rm?ga, ?r centralt inom denna teori och utg?r tillsammans med Noddings omsorgsteori k?rnan i analysen. Denna etnografiska studie bygger p? 50 timmar kvalitativa videoobservationer, tillsammans med deltagande observationer och f?ltanteckningar av den pedagogiska praktiken p? tv? anpassade grundskolor. Resultatet visar att l?rares och paraprofessionellas f?rv?ntningar p? elevernas f?rm?gor, samt hur omsorg till?mpas, har en betydande inverkan p? elevernas self-efficacy och d?rmed deras f?ruts?ttningar f?r l?rande och utveckling. I resultatet framtr?der tre perspektiv av omsorg, vilka ben?mns som fr?mjande, assisterande och h?mmande.

When using the digital halftone proofing systems, a closer print match can be achieved compared to what earlier couldbe done with the analogue proofing systems. These proofing systems possibilities to produce accurate print match canas well lead to producing bad print matches as several print related parameters can be adjusted manually in the systemby the user. Therefore, more advanced knowledge in graphic arts technology is required by the user of the system.The prepress company Colorcraft AB wishes to control that their color proofs always have the right quality. This projectwas started with the purpose to find a quality control metod for Colorcraft´s digital halftone proofing system(Kodak Approval XP4).Using a software who supports spectral measuring combined with a spectrophotometer and a control bar, a qualitycontrol system was assembled. This system detects variations that lies out of the proofing system´s natural deviation.The prerequisite for this quality control system is that the tolerances are defined with consideration taken to the proofingsystems natural deviations.

Bakgrund Stressrelaterad oh?lsa ?r den sjukskrivningsorsak som ?kar mest och utmattningssyndrom ?r en av de vanligaste diagnoserna. Symtom p? utmattning g?r det sv?rt att klara arbete, fritidsaktiviteter, hush?llsaktiviteter och annat som kan vara meningsfullt att utf?ra. Arbetsterapeuter har kunskap om vardagens aktiviteter och hur dessa interagerar med person och milj?. Eftersom arbetsterapeuter m?ter denna m?lgrupp i prim?rv?rden ?r det av vikt att utforska deras resonemang kring vad de kan bidra med i rehabiliteringsprocessen.

Quality is a vague concept, it seems to be about a ?gut feeling? but is used as if it were a concrete property. This paper examines the defenition of the concept of quality, the relation between quality and gender equality and also what the representation between the genders in exhibitions, purchases and donations looks like in this day. As method for this paper text analysis, with searchlight on the two parameters of quality and equality, have been used on documents that provide a historical and a cultural policy perspective. The main part of the paper is an analysis of the visual arts on Värmlands museum, Kristinehamns konstmuseum and Rackstadmuseet.In the discussion of the paper, chapter 5, the result of the research is presented.

Bakgrund Cirka sju procent av barnen i Sverige har diagnosen Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), som ?r en neuropsykiatrisk funktionsneds?ttning som ofta f?ljs av sociala och empatiska sv?righeter. Lek utg?r en betydande del av barnets l?randeprocess. Genom lek socialiseras barn och utvecklas i samspel med andra.

The environmental debate is more intensive than ever before and the demands on companies increase. There are a number of methods to make it easier for the companies to fulfil the demands. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) end ecodesign are some of the methods that can be used. Syntronic AB has the possibility to reduce the products´ environmental impact in the design phase. Therefore it is important for the company to make it possible to visualize the negative environmental impacts a product can cause in an easy way. It is also important to visualize for there clients if any improvement is possible. The purpose of this thesis is to develop a simplified model.

LKAB?s iron refining process in Vitåfors, Malmberget, is a source of great amounts of waste-rock.

The quality of bread wheat is a large subject to study. The quality rests on two legs. The first one is the inheritance of specific characters, which can be influenced through plant breeding and type of cultivar. The other one is the environmental influences, such as crop rotation, nutrition, harvest and storage. The latter factors are possibly to affect through cultivation practices, while other factors are not possible to influence on for the grower, such as seasonal changes of weather and the soil content.

En utmaning som pedagoger st?r inf?r i m?tet med barnens fria lek ber?r balansen mellan pedagogers delaktighet och fr?mjandet av barnens inflytande samt sj?lvst?ndighet. Mot bakgrund av detta syftar denna kvalitativa intervjustudie till att unders?ka en grupp fyraoch fem?riga f?rskolebarns uppfattningar kring pedagogers delaktighet i den fria leken. De fr?gest?llningar vi unders?ker ?r: vad ?r barnens uppfattningar kring pedagogers delaktighet i den fria leken? Vad ?r barnens uppfattningar kring pedagogers roll i den fria leken? Vad f?rmedlar barnen kring pedagogers agerande i den fria leken? Med avstamp i livsv?rldsfenomenologi som ansats unders?ker vi vad som ?r meningsfullt f?r barnen utifr?n deras livsv?rld och erfarenheter.

Syfte: Studien syftar till att unders?ka nuvarande kost- och n?ringspraxis inom allsvenska fotbollsklubbar 2024 samt identifiera brister och utmaningar i arbetet mot Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S). Metod: Enk?tunders?kningen, som baserats p? UEFAs n?ringsriktlinjer, distribuerades via e- post till allsvenska fotbollsklubbar, inneh?llande b?de kvantitativa och kvalitativa fr?gor (n=8). Svaren samlades in under en sexveckorsperiod och ytterligare en enveckasperiod. ?ven kvalitativa intervjuer utf?rdes med en del av klubbarna (n=4). Resultat: En majoritet av respondenterna saknade relevant utbildningsbakgrund inom idrottsnutrition f?r besvarande av fr?gorna, dessa personer bekr?ftades dock genom intervjuerna att vara de med mest insikt/kunskap inom organisationerna.
