The work as a personal assistant is sometimes associated with certain problems. Studies have shown that personal assistants often experience indistinct rules and roles concerning what should or should not be included in their duties. This study was undertaken to evaluate problems associated with the profession as a personal assistant, how widespread they are and how they are dealt with. Specifically, the study evaluates if the personal assistants have to do duties that they consider they are not assigned to do. Different roles (formal as informal) are also discussed which may be of current interest in this study, but also how we see people on basis of ethics and moral.

My thesis is based on a qualitative study in which I have selected six professional teachers in a school in Greater Stockholm, and their views on the phenomenon of conflict management. My questions were the following.How teachers perceive the phenomenon of conflict in the world of school?What strategies do teachers use to resolve conflicts with students?In order to analyze my informants, I have chosen different books that deal with conflict man-agement, policy documents and books on the teaching profession meaning.

The object of this explorative theoretical study is to compare similarities in three perspectives for evaluation of credibility. The perspectives are the historical method source-criticism, cognitive authority and domain analysis. These perspectives, regarded as intellectual tools for critical thinking in a process of information seeking, by asking questions about credibility related to the social and theoretical context of the intellectual background, can give support in articulating which documents that gives a specific and essential answer to a question. In this sense credibility is seen as a qualitative aspect of relevance. Patrick Wilson argues that we can attain some critical independence towards cognitive authorities and the literature by investigating the social and theoretical topography of a field.

Purpose/Aim: The aim is to study the critics own views upon their profession and upon the development of criticism, and to thereafter set this in relation to contemporary theory and debates.Material/Method: A qualitative study pursued through personal interviews. The results are categorized and split into different themes.Main Results: Through media convergence and a changed media culture the conditions for criticism have also been altered. But in spite of various negative prophecies, these changes cause no serious threat to criticism.

Background and problem: Corporate Governance is a well-known phenomenon which has been the focus of plenty of research where the board of directors and the CEO have been regarded as important actors.

Consequently there is a motive for examining medias impact on Corporate Governance in Sweden. Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to explain if media has an impact on Corporate Governance at an overall level.

Denna uppsats har till syfte att spegla studie- och yrkesvägledarens tankar kring validering och arbetet med detta i ett vägledningssamtal.  Validering handlar om att hjälpa en individ att hitta sina kunskaper och kompetenser som inte finns redovisade på ett formellt dokument, vilket kan benämnas som informell och icke-kunskap. Undersökningen är genomförd genom att enkät har skickats ut till verksamma studie- och yrkesvägledare över olika delar av Sverige. I denna enkät har de fått möjlighet att ge sin syn på valideringsarbete och vad validering kan vara. Resultatet av enkäten visar på ett stort engagemang kring validering och stor kunskap i ämnet bland studie- och yrkesvägledarna. I sin profession arbetar man med validering i vägledningssamtalen och anser det vara en naturlig del av processen.

Vårt syfte med examensarbetet är att försöka förstå hur två svensklärare ser på sitt arbete med att inkludera elever med neuropsykiatriska funktionsnedsättningar (NPF). Vi har börjat med att gå igenom en förändring i den nya skollagen som började gälla 2011. Den innebär att elever med diagnoser inom autismspektrumtillståndet (AST) men som inte har begåvningsutvecklingsstörning skall tillhöra grundskolan. AST går in under begreppet Neuropsykiatriska Funktionsnedsättningar (NPF). Tidigare fanns ett val huruvida dessa elever skulle gå i särskola eller grundskola.
