Forming teacher teams is currently the standard way of organizing teachers in Swedish Compulsory Schools. This is the result of a process that started in the 1970s.Traditionally the culture of teaching has been one of isolation. Once the door to the classroom is shut, what happens behind the door is up to the teacher to decide. Over the past thirty years a lot of time has been dedicated to making fundamental changes in the way teachers interact with their colleagues. Today the idea of teachers forming teams is generally accepted but still the core of a Swedish teacher?s job is that of a lone worker.

Studien undersökte vilka ledarbeteenden och organisatoriska förutsättningar som upplevs vara viktiga för att ett ledarskap ska kunna skapa hälsa och effektivitet i en arbetsorganisation utifrån både ledare och medarbetarperspektiv. Metoden för studien bestod av gruppintervjuer. Deltagare var nio personal ledare, varav två kvinnor och tio medarbetare, varav tre kvinnor på en svensk tillverkningsindustri och underlaget bestod av fyra gruppintervjuer, varav två med personal ledare och två med medarbetare. Resultatet visade att ledarbeteenden som upplevdes viktiga för att skapa hälsa och effektivitet var tydlighet, regelbundna medarbetarkontakter, lyssnande och personalvård. Organisatoriska förutsättningar som ansågs viktiga var personalgruppens storlek och tid för medarbetarkontakter.

Studiens syfte var att undersöka hur biståndshandläggare och personal på korttidsboende utgår från begreppet anknytning i sitt dagliga arbete med funktionsnedsatta barn där vårdnadshavarna ansökt om insatsen korttidsvistelse i korttidsboende. Uppsatsen syftar också till att undersöka om förutsättningar finns för att ha möjlighet att utgå från anknytning i arbetet. Insatsen beviljas av biståndshandläggare och regleras i Lagen (1993:387) om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade (LSS), 9 § p. 6, korttidsvistelse utanför det egna hemmet. Studiens frågeställningar är: ? Hur tar biståndshandläggare hänsyn till begreppet anknytning vid utredningar och beslut om korttidsvistelse i korttidsboende?? Hur tar personal på korttidsboende hänsyn till begreppet anknytning i det dagliga arbetet?? Vilka möjligheter och svårigheter upplever biståndshandläggare och personal på korttidsboende när de i sitt arbete tar hänsyn till begreppet anknytning?Den tidigare forskningen visar att funktionsnedsatta barn har en lägre grad av trygg anknytning än andra barn.

The goal of this thesis was to explore how real estate investment companies are affected by a weaker world economy. The reason to investigate this was that in the 90s in Sweden, the housing market crashed in conjunction with the bank collapse. Therefore I have looked at how the commercial real estate companies would be affected if we were to have a double dip recession, because it has been confirmed by Gyourko that commercial real estate market and the housing market tend to react in the same way on new fundamental information. This was examined through a sensitivity analysis, one investigated the effect of falling rent income and the second analysis looked at the effect of higher interest costs. I found that IAS 40 rule about unrealized profits of properties affected the results in a significant matter and therefore decided to include the regulation in my thesis.

AbstractIn this essay, I have chosen to examine how four teachers in a work unit think and work with linguistic development and strategies, particularly in grade 4-6. The teaching profession has gradually become more like a cooperative profession. Therefore it is in a general pedagogic interest, to know, how each one of the teachers in the work unit, are thinking about linguistic development, teaching profiles and the significances of a work unit to achieve their aims to provide for all the individuals in their classrooms. My intention was to find out if a homogeneous work unit or a heterogeneous work unit is to prefer in work with linguistic development, which initially made me focus and realise the importance of each one of my informants? answers.
