The purpose of this bachelor?s thesis is to examine whether there was an elite on Gotland during Roman Iron Age or not. To explain this focus has been put on the roman goods. The contexts in which the roman artifacts are found indicate that they can be tied to what might have been an elite on Gotland during Roman Iron Age. They might also have been used as means of expressing wealth and prestige.

Syftet med studien var att studera sambandet mellan arbetsmotivation och arbetsengagemang samt hur skilda yrkestillhörigheter påverkar utfallet. Studien genomfördes på ett företag i byggbranschen med sammanlagt 72 anställda varav 54 deltog i undersökningen och fokus låg på inre motivation, arbetsengagemang samt branschens två huvudsakliga yrkeskategorier; tjänstemän och yrkesarbetare. Inre motivation har mätts med enkäten Work Extrinsic and Intrinsic Motivation Scale (WEIMS) som grundar sig på Self-Determination Theory. Arbetsengagemang mättes med hjälp av en förkortad version av enkäten Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES). Resultatet visade att inre motivation var positivt relaterat tillarbetsengagemang och tjänstemän visade genomgående högre grad av inre motivation och arbetsengagemang i jämförelse med yrkesarbetare.

The aim for this study was to find out what strategies women use to not react against inequality and sexist prejudice. In the study I used a critical realistic approach through, primary, the social ontology presented by Margaret S. Archer. The study focus on both the women?s construction of femininity and their construction of masculinity and what directions it constitutes for the women?s social orientation.

The water tower in Uppsala city forest was built in the late 1950's in what is now a nature reserve. The unique place was supposed to be visited by people, which is currently not the situation. This bachelor thesis aimed to perform an analysis and make a design proposal for the environment surrounding the water tower. The analysis was performed using the methodology previously described by architect Arne Branzell. The methodology focuses on how a space is perceived by a person moving through it.

The purpose of the study is to contribute to the field of social access in children's free play in the pre-school class, by looking at how children are included and excluded and how power structures arises in the free time. In order to capture the events that occur among the children, observations were chosen as research method.The results show that the children wanted to play with each other, and that the most common way to facilitate play was to ask "Can I join?". There were also other strategies being practiced regularly. It was also common to exclude other children from playing, and this was especially when the children wanted to protect their ongoing game, or that someone was not allowed to join because he or she ruined it for the others.

In Sweden, the County Administration board is responsible for improving the water quality in lakes and watercourses according to the European Union Water Framework Directive. In Västmanland county, where river Lillån is situated, the County Administration of Västmanland have the main responsibility for the aquatic environment in that area. The knowledge about the different watercourses in the chatchment of river Lillån is today limited. The aim with this study was to evaluate the ecological quality of River Lillån based on water chemistry analyses and benthic fauna investigations. The aim was also for the benthic fauna to compere different samplingsites and sampling methods with each other in order to see how the species composition changes in the river, and to see the advantages and disadvantages with different sampling tecniques.

The theoretical background in this essay made clear that the students? knowledge about physics improve, and they express a more positive attitude towards physics as a subject, when they have access to a more laboratory-based learning style. The aim of this study is to research how the placement of the lab relative to the lecture affects the students? experiences and level of knowledge. The study involved students in year eight and was carried out during four weeks.

This thesis investigates if a system for small scale electricity production located in anurban environment can be profitable. The work has been divided up into two parts,one extensive literature study and one case study. The purpose of the literature studywas to investigate the area, resulting in a choice of which technology to be studied indepth in a case study.In the case study a system containing small scale wind turbines and photovoltaicsmounted on Gränby Centrums roof was examined. From data containing wind power,wind direction and total irradiation, possible production from a system weresimulated. Three products of each technology were examined in the simulations.From the simulated production an economic analysis was carried out, this toinvestigate if a system is profitable.

An important task for project managers in multi-project environments is to effectively choose the right people to the project team. For organizations, it means being able to prioritize and plan human resources among the various projects running in parallel. The purpose of this paper is to describe how a project manager in multi-project environments looks at the allocation of people in their projects. We did our research through literature reviews and interviews with seven project managers.The research shows that the studied organizations highlight both the expertise and the personal factors in an election. They do not use any specific personality test to identify their staff.

Based on last years events that have taken place, events on the school Lundbergs and the police values of work, has the meaning of having a set of values been questioned. This study aimed to investigate and answer the fundamental values based on the common value basis for the government employees within an organization and how it perceived by employees. The new institutional theory was the framework for this qualitative study conducted with semi-structured interviews. Respondents were employees within the organization. Ethnographic qualitative methodology was the basis for our methodology and we used a thematic model of theme interpretation, communication and knowledge in our analysis.

Undersökningens syfte var att studera om det finns någon skillnad mellan elevers resultat i matematik beroende på vilket socioekonomiskt skolområde de bor i efter att de har lämnat förskolan och börjat i förskoleklass, men även att se om det finns ett samband mellan elevernas språkliga förmåga, kön och aritmetisk förmåga i början av förskoleklass.Studiens resultat visar att elever från områden med svag socioekonomisk status hade generellt sämre matematiska kunskaper och färdigheter och grundläggande språklig förmåga jämfört med elever från områden med god socioekonomisk status. Resultatet visar också att elevers språkliga förmåga har betydelse för den förberedande aritmetiska förmågan. I analysen av den språkliga förmågan är det framförallt den fonologiska förmågan som är avgörande för den förberedande aritmetiska förmågan..

Denna studie handlar om fritidsvanor och huvudsysselsättningar hos två olika grupper i samhället, nämligen ungdomar i stadsdelen Rosengård och ungdomar i stadsdelen Limhamn vilka båda ligger i Malmö. Det finns klara skillnader när man jämför dessa två grupper och därför ville vi titta närmare på detta och analysera utifrån informanternas berättelser faktorer som påverkar valet av fritidsvanor och valet av huvudsysselsättning av utbildning och jobb samt varför de ser olika ut. Vi har utfört intervjuer i båda stadsdelarna och samtalat med ungdomar samt gjort deltagande observation för att se hur dessa ungdomar uppför sig i gruppen de tillhör.Ungdomar på båda sidor eller i båda stadsdelar anser att fritid är en viktig faktor i deras liv och att olika fritidsaktiviteter har olika status. Fritidsaktiviteter på Rosengård har inte samma status bland ungdomar i Limhamn och fritidsaktiviteter från Limhamn har inte samma status bland ungdomar i Rosengård. Valet av utbildning och jobb är inte heller lika när man jämför de olika stadsdelarna.

Today's technology offers a variety of opportunities to interact with the interactive systems. Human-Computer Interaction in the last decade is the area of research that has contributed the most to this development. But how is this interaction perceived? The user experience is something that is formed by the interaction between human and the computer interactive systems. The objective of this thesis is to investigate how the user experience differs depending on how one interacts with a game.

Syftet med uppsatsen var att undersöka pedagogers inställning till lärarlegitimation samt huruvida legitimationen på olika sätt kan beröra både verksamma och nyutexaminerade pedagoger. Syftet med studien var även att skaffa oss en djupare förståelse kring lärarlegitimationen och dess innebörd. Av intresse var också att undersöka vad informanterna anser om sin egen utbildning samt om de ser på lärarlegitimation som ett svar på att höja läraryrkets status. För att få svar på våra frågor har vi använt oss av både kvalitativ och kvantitativ metod där vi genom semistrukturerade intervjuer, enkäter, litteratur och tidigare forskning analyserat vårt material. Resultatet visade att inställningen till lärarlegitimation förhållandevis är positiv men att det enligt informanterna krävs mer för att legitimationen ska vara värdig sitt namn och inte bara vara ?ett utskrivet papper?..

Personal branding is a common phenomenon within the Swedish business world, although less applied on the competitive and fast paced music industry. In order to strengthen Swedish artists' personal brands and to ensure congruence between the artists' presented identities and the target audiences' perceived images, we have developed a model, containing of seven essential factors. The seven dimensions authenticity, credibility, certainty, openness, availability, awareness and timeliness help improve strength when communicating brand identity, as well as minimizing potential discrepancy between identity and image. This report examines the brand strategies within the Swedish music industry through a case study of Sweden's largest pop star, Eric Saade, where Team Saade's communicated identity is compared to the targets audience's perceived image of Saade. Overall, Saade's personal brand has a high level of congruence, except from the clarity dimension, where his words are considered differing from his actions.
