The purpose of this essay is to investigate the presences of open-ended problems in the textbooks of high school Mathematics A. For practical reasons the study was limited to three textbooks and two topics, Fractions and Area & Volume. The Essay also describes the theory behind open-ended problems and why they should be used. I identify three criteria as a definition for open-ended problems. The study found that only 7,6% of the investigated tasks qualified, and met at least 1 criterion.

More frequent and intensified rainfalls are expected to occur due to climate change in the nearfuture. This together with a higher proportion of paved areas increases the pressure on today?sstorm water systems (Risinger, 2014; Boverket, 2013; Stahre, 2006). Traditional storm watersystems (i.e. underground pipe systems) have during last decades started to be questioned(Olshammar & Baresel, 2012).

To make sure that future measures in the forest may be accepted by the public when the forest harvester enters the woods, it is very important that a well functional work of information has been made. The people living close by the forest shall have been informed a couple of weeks before the time of measures and it must also be good information available that explains what is to be done and why.

Although the original focus has been on physical planning, the interviewees? words have been of big importance, and to a certain extent changed the constitution of this essay.

The Swedish healthcare system is characterized by lack of resources and extensive hospital queues. In order to counter these difficulties the Lund University Hospital have introduced Lean Healthcare to the hospital organization. The purpose of this scientific paper is to study the relationship between the implementation of Lean Healthcare and the experienced motivation among the staff. This essay thereby intends to impart knowledge, which could be used on future implementations of Lean Healthcare at other hospitals. In order to fulfil the purpose of this essay a case study have been conducted at two wards at the Lund University Hospital in which qualitative research interviews have been the method chosen in order to gather data.

Bakgrund: Ordinationer med dosering som innebär att tabletter skall delas förekommer på 10 % av alla recept i Sverige. Ordinationer med delade tabletter kan upplevas som ett problem hos patienten. Detta kan leda att följsamheten till sin medicinering påverkas negativt. Syftet med studien är att ta reda på hur apotekskunder upplever sin medicinering med delade tabletter.Metod: Intervjustudie med apotekskunder, >18 år, som har en ordination med en dosering som innebär att tabletterna behöver delas.Resultat: Av 412 inkluderade apotekskunder uppgav 30 % av studiepopulationen att de upplevde problem med delningen av tabletterna. Vanliga problem var att tabletterna var för hårda och svåra att dela, att det blir olika stora delar, att tabletterna går sönder/bli smulor/smådelar.

The population growth and urbanisation in low-income countries bring issues of poor living standards and miserable sanitation conditions onto the agenda. If well-functioning waste management systems were developed, this could master some of the problems. The already existing local informal waste handling system that is common in many low-income countries, needs to be developed with proper sorting and composting solutions to decrease the environmental burden and improve the overall situation in the dense cities. This master?s thesis project is performed with the intention of developing functional decentralised waste management units in the city of Pune, India.

Today, individual indoor stalls and individual outdoor paddocks are the most common way to house horses in Sweden. The way that we manage, house and feed the horses are not optimal for the species natural basic behavioural needs. However, the awareness of this grows in the context of research and the emergence of alternative housing systems. One of the alternatives to the traditional format in individual boxes is called group housing. Group housing systems allow horses to live in herds and they can choose how they want to distribute the hours of the day between movement, resting and foraging. The purpose of this study is to examine how frequently the young horses in a group housing system use the indoor lying area.

I syfte att undersöka om och hur lärarens inställning till problemlösning och undervisning förhåller sig till elevens tänkande har vi vänt oss till tre klasser i skolår 3. I vår teoretiska förankring har vi ur ett konstruktivistiskt perspektiv utgått från vad, hur och varför. I undersökningen fick eleverna två problemlösningsuppgifter som de skulle lösa individuellt och semistrukturerade intervjuer gjordes med lärarna till klasserna. Resultatet visade att klassen med problemlösande undervisning hade sämst resultat men störst variationer i lösningarna. Utifrån vårt analyserade resultat och tidigare forskning ser vi betydelsen av en variation i undervisningen, både när det gäller problem, metod och arbetsform för att nå den viktiga djupa förståelsen..

Titel: Fostran som pedagogiskt projekt. Bilden av ?problembarnet? i statens offentliga utredningar. (The bringing up of pupils as an educational project. The image of ?the problem child? in governmental committees).   This study focuses on the image of the problem child as it appears in two texts (from the 1940s and 1970s) of governmental committees on Public Health (SOU) and the new school law (Ds 2009:25, will be implemented in July 2011).

I den interpersonella teorin menar man att varje människas framträdande relationserfarenheter finns representerade i något som blivit denna persons latenta relationsmönster eller schemata. Är dessa interpersonella mönster inkongruenta kan det leda till interpersonella problem och psykisk ohälsa. Enligt denna teori kan stimulerande relationer, som t ex i en gruppbehandling, leda till bättre kognitiv förmåga och mer kongruent interpersonellt mönster, vilket på sikt underlättar relaterande till andra. Uppsatsens syfte var att beskriva interpersonella mönster och problem hos ungdomar i en gruppbehandling i termer av två instrument: Central Relationship Questionnaire (CRQ) och Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (IIP). Resultaten visade hur ungdomarnas interpersonella mönster och problemprofiler såg ut före och efter behandlingstiden.

The county administration asked LKAB to make an inventory of possibly contaminated sites caused by their mining activity. The inventory should be performed according to the MIFO model, a method from SEPA which is used to assess a contaminated site. The first phase involves collection of information through interviews and site inspections and in phase 2 a general survey with field sampling is conducted.LKAB started the work with the first phase of the survey during 2003. During this project the information collected in Phase 1 was evaluated and 16 of the sites were chosen to proceed to MIFO Phase 2 (six sites in Kiruna, and 5 sites respectively in Svappavaara and Malmberget). The sampling of these 16 sites was performed during week 27 2004.
