A cochlear implant (CI) is a hearing device that makes it possible for individuals who are deaf or has a severe hearing impairment to receive auditory information and develop spoken language. The pragmatic ability may be affected. In short, pragmatics may be described as the study of language use in social contexts. Pragmatic ability can be seen as the result of the individual?s behavior as well as the underlying causes.The aim of the present study was to describe the pragmatic ability in children with CI.

This report was made for the company HordaGruppen AB to investigate how information security was handled. This report fits in the Master program of Internet Technology at School of Engineering in Jönköping University in Sweden.The question at issue was how you protect your information against different threats. One question was how to make an information security policy and which guidelines you can follow in the Swedish Standard, SS-ISO/IEC 17799:2000.Another question was to investigate the information sources at the company and which threats there are against it.The work begins with a presentation about information security for the chief of information and the chief of quality in the company. The next thing was to do a survey of as thing are at present with a tool from Länsteknikcentrum called ?Infosäkpulsen?.

This report discusses the development of lessons based on laborations for middle and high school.The purpose of the project was to research the possibility to affect students' attitude towards physicsthrough well-planned stimulating lessons. The lessons were based on the Light and Lasers OutreachKit, a teaching package made by the organisation Laser Classroom, and have been adapted for physicsin middle and high school. The lessons were developed on a pedagogical and didactical ground andwere improved with surveys and peer and self assessment. The lessons were based on laser light and itsproperties. One lesson covered the topic of single-slit diffraction, while the other treated geometricaloptics.

Title: Creativity and blockings: Non-musicians? experiences of music making The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the ability of music-making can benefit from and/or be inhibited by extra-musical factors, such as one's own or other people's opinions, criticism, prejudice and values. An experiment was carried out, where 10 nonmusicians were instructed to solve a compositional problem (writing pieces of music to a picture) which had been expressed in two different ways, one of which (A) was intended to block creativity and the other (B) to facilitate the creative process. All subjects also had to answer a questionnaire, where their experiences in connection with the task and their attitudes towards music and composition were mapped. The result was that all subjects succeeded in composing one or more pieces of music, regardless of which instruction they had been given.

Syfte: Att undersöka hur patienter på ett universitetssjukhus uppfattar information gällande preoperativ dusch samt patientens genomförande av duschen på avdelningen. Introduktion: Vårdrelaterade infektioner är vanliga och kan leda till ökade kostnader, långvarig sjukhusvistelse och ökad lidande för patienter. Ett sätt att förhindra detta är att duscha med klorhexidin före operation. Det är sjuksköterskans ansvar att informera patienten om den preoperativa duschen, kontrollera att patienten uppfattat informationen och har möjlighet och resurser att följa den. Metod: En kvalitativ deskriptiv intervjustudie med semistrukturerade frågor.

This thesis is a contribution to the discussion on the public library?s institutional identity in late modernity. The aim is to shed light on the public library?s identity as expressed through its public events. The thesis seeks to answer the following questions: What kind of public events are offered at public libraries? What themes distinguish the content of these events? What characterizes the institutional identity expressed through these events? In addition to the concept of institutional identity, a model of four library spaces, developed by Skot-Hansen, Hvenegaard Rasmussen, and Jochumsen, constitutes the theoretical framework of this thesis.

Titel: Vilka konsekvenser får lärares val av metoder inom matematikundervisningen för eleverna? Teacher?s choice of method for maths-instruction; what are the consequences for the pupils? Författare: Maria Axtelius och Lotta Cronvall (2009). Vårt syfte med denna undersökning är att undersöka vad elever i skolår tre tycker om matematiken i skolan och varför. Ett annat syfte är att fördjupa kunskapen kring hur lärare kan motivera barn i matematikundervisningen för att de ska nå upp till gällande kunskapsmål, samt hur lärare kan utmana de elever som med lätthet når upp till målen. Matematikämnet är ofta förekommande i skoldebatten, och det är viktigt att eleverna bibehåller det intresse som ofta finns när de börjar i skolår ett.

The explosion of information technology has given users direct access to an ocean of information. Increased availability puts increasing demands on the ability of students and researchers to search for, filter, and structure information. In response, the role of the research library has shifted from being primarily an information resource to being an educational resource with a focus on teaching users what is known as information literacy. This thesis is a study of user-education at the Karolinska Institute Library KIB, the largest medical library in the Nordic countries. KIB has invested significant resources in developing user-education, and has a full-time user-education developer and a formal pedagogical platform for user-education.

SammanfattningSyfte och frågeställningarSyftet med föreliggande litteraturstudie var att analysera befintlig data gällande skadeincidens, skademekanismer, skadelokalisation samt typ av skada hos fotbollsspelande barn och ungdomar. Frågeställningar:? Hur ser den anatomiska fördelningen av skador ut hos fotbollsspelande tonåringar 13-19 år?? Vilken skademekanism samt typ av skada är vanligast?? Hur många skador kan en spelare förvänta sig i relation till antal exponeringstimmar av fotboll?MetodLitteratursökningen genomfördes i databaserna PubMed, SportDiscus, Cochrane Library och PEDro. Studien avgränsades till ungdomar mellan 13-19 år, publikationer i peer-reviewed tidskrifter samt skadeincidens rapporterad i relation till antal exponerade timmar. Enbart studier publicerade på svenska eller engelska användes.

Denna studie bygger på andraspråksinlärares skriftliga kompetens kopplad till syntaktiska och kommunikativa nivåer. I synnerhet är syftet att studera språkliga syntaktiska nivåer i texter skrivna av andraspråksinlärare som har behörighet att studera vid universitet. Ytterligare ett syfte är att studera om innehållet i texter kan förmedlas på ett kommunikativt och idiomatisk sätt.Den teoretiska ramen för att mäta syntaktiska nivåer som informanter i denna studie har uppnått bygger på processbarhetsteorin (Pienneman, 1998/ Pienneman & Håkansson, 1999). Studien visar att godkända texter i Svenska som andraspråk B och Tisustest uppnår nivå 4 och 5 på syntaktisk nivå. Studien visar också på variation av kommunikativ kompetens utifrån förmågan att förmedla ett central innehåll. Informanterna uppnår delvis målspråksnormen och delvis avviker från målspråksnormen i varierad grad vilket påverkar den kommunikativa kompetensen.

säger, vad hon gör och vad hon skulle kunna göra kopplas till beskrivs utifrån sociokulturella perspektiv pålärande.Vi har genomfört icke deltagande observation i ett klassrum under tre dagar och en samtalsintervju medläraren. Vi intervjuar läraren för att se vad hon säger om teori och undersöker vad i lärarens praktiskaverksamhet som går att koppla till teorin. Vi har ett särskilt fokus på verbal kommunikation i klassrummet ochhur läraren leder och styr lärandet. Vi har utgått främst från Lev Vygotskijs och Michail Bakhtins begrepp ochnutida forskare, då främst Olga Dysthe och Roger Säljö.I resultatet framkom att läraren hade kännedom om vissa delar av sociokulturella perspektiv, men iobservationerna framträdde även sådant som hon inte pratat om i intervjun. En undervisning byggd kring attelever lär av varandra är återkommande i intervjun med läraren och tydligt under observationerna.
