The purpose of this case study is to see how all the involved parties; students, custodians and teachers look upon ?A meeting of learning ? personal development dialogue that is led by children and young people?, on a school south of Stockholm. Our questions at issue were to see what the students had learned from their personal development dialogue, if the custodians had received all the information they expected to get from a personal development dialogue, and last but not least if all the involved parties; students, custodians and teachers, wanted to continue with this model? We used interviews and paper questionnaires to collect answers to our case study and the questions at issue. In both the interviews and paper questionnaires we could see that an overwhelming majority had a positive opinion about students leading and ?owning? their personal development dialogue, especially the students themselves.

När vi tog kontakt med AB Halmstads Gummifabrik uttryckte de ett behov kring att kunna stärka tillhörigheten och minska den organisatoriska tvetydigheten hos den inhyrda personalen. De individer som hyrs in via bemanningsföretag har idag till skillnad från tidigare blivit en accepterad del av arbetskraften. Studien syfte har varit att empiriskt undersöka vad som är centralt, för så väl företaget som för inhyrd, vid kundföretagets introduktion av inhyrd personal. Vidare har vi även utifrån resultatet och tidigare forskning analyserat hur arbetsgivaren vid introduktionen kan arbeta för att motverka eventuell organisatorisk tvetydighet för den inhyrda personalen.Studiens empiriska material har samlats in genom sex stycken kvalitativa intervjuer med arbetsledning, inhyrd personal, tillsvidareanställd personal och fackliga representanter. Under studiens gång har vi även genomfört en observation på arbetsplatsen. Resultatet visar att introduktionsutbildningens utformning är av stor vikt då den i slutändan påverkar organisationsidentiteten.

Sharia or western equality?womenin Egyptian legislationThe Islamic law (Sharia) in most of the countries in Middle East and North Africa has been the basis for modern laws which regulate issues such as marriage, divorce and inheritance.

De senaste decennierna har globaliseringen påverkat företagen i allt större utsträckning eftersom konkurrensen ökat. Detta har tvingat företag att bli mer effektiva för att kunna överleva. Ett sätt att effektivisera är att slimma produktionen och ha en flexibel arbetskraft, så kallad numerisk flexibilitet. I Sverige har privat arbetsförmedling varit tillåten sedan 1993 och sedan dess har bemanningsbranschen haft en expansiv utveckling. Syftet med denna uppsats är att beskriva numerisk flexibilitet, med avseende på inhyrning av personal, utifrån John Atkinsons indelning av personalgrupper.

This degree project is an inquiry in how plan layouts and functions should be designed to suit families with children. The project aim to, if possible, find good solutions and designed houses that satisfy the requirements a family have.Last spring we contacted Willa Nordic AB, a company that produce houses, and they had a suggestion to investigate living for families with children. Their motif were that they lacked in information and knowledge in how to design houses that correspond to a family's needs. We thought the idea was exiting and motivating.The autumn 2008 studies were made on earlier published reports, in the subject "living environment", to get a solid background. The earlier inquiries shows a clear development through the whole 1900's, from being without standards to have well defined norms.

In this work we?ve been focusing on how to adjust educational computer games in order to make them suited for the educational context of upper secondary school. Our opinion and entrance to the study is that the related developers of the subject, in some ways, have failed to successfully combine and find the balance between the entertaining and pedagogical aspects in the games. Our main questions is which aspects in the games game developers need to take in consideration to satisfy the pupils, but also what qualities that is needed for them to function in their educational context. In order to do that we had to investigate the people of the target groups own perspective on what technological and social aspects in the computer games they assess as important.
