Method: Data collection has been performed with semi-structured interviews, which have been interpreted by qualitative manifest analysis. The design of the study is pilot towards a study in full scale.

Abstrakt Jag har valt att undersöka om beröm med konkreta och målinriktade belöningar påverkar studiemotivation hos högpresterande elever ur ett genusperspektiv på en grundskola. Dessutom vill jag undersöka om det finns andra faktorer som eventuellt bidrar positivt till att dessa elever blir studiemotiverade och presterar bra. Ett annat syfte med undersökningen är att se om någonting från undersökningsresultatet kan användas för att motivera ej så studiemotiverade elever som på min skola finns i ett stort antal. Skolans ledning har visat ett stort intresse för denna användbarhet. Undersökningen gjordes i två klasser i åk.

To investigate adoptions are part of the social worker's duties. The aim of our study was to examine some adoptive parents, to internationally adopted children, experience of adopting, the time before the adoption, the adoption process, and the time after the adoption.

The fashion market is highly dynamic, and characterized complexity, abstract phenomena and creativity. Further, differences between factors such as gender, countries and social classes pose increasing challenges to fashion companies and researchers active within this area. In light of these facts, the value of creating tools that help companies and professionals active within this industry becomes evident. Much research has been focused on creating a more thorough understanding of its underlying logics and its main drivers from a business perspective, whereas knowledge regarding fashion consumers and what drives their behavior are more limited. Through this study, insights about the Swedish fashion market and its consumers are generated.

Syftet med denna studie är dels att utifrån mellanchefernas beskrivningar förstå vilket handlingsutrymme mellanchefer inom äldre- och handikappomsorgen har i sitt arbete och dels att beskriva hur de uppfattar sitt handlingsutrymme. Under de sista 30 åren har den kommunala äldre- och handikappomsorgen genomgått stora förändringar. Ansvaret för verkställandet av insatserna har delegerats till mellanchefer som nu driver fristående, resultatstyrda enheter. Nya managementidéer från USA och Storbritannien började under 90-talet slå igenom i Sverige och tanken var att mellancheferna skulle föra ett självständigt ledarskap och att de skulle ha tillgång till de resurser som behövdes för att driva verksamheterna effektivt. Resultatet i denna studie pekar på att mellancheferna uppfattar att de har ett stort handlingsutrymme, åtminstone i att bestämma över sin egen tid och hur politikernas och handläggarnas beslut ska verkställas.

The aim of this study is to become aware of how the children at the after-school care perceive the adults at after-school care. The most interesting parts are to find out what they thought made a good teacher, which qualities were preferable and how the children expressed their opinions. The children often spend long time at the after-school care which means that the children?s work environment matters. The children look at adults from another perspective and see other qualities than adults see in each other.

Interviews were conducted with five clients and the result was analyzed with theoretical concepts from role theory.

In recent years the interest for ethics has increased exponentially. It has become more and more common with the ethic rules and guiding of principles within the business world, both in companies and in different professional groups. Auditors face difficulties and have to deal with different ethical problems where ethics and morality is taken up. It is important that accountants can react in a legal and correct manner. To become an accountant a person should have gone through college or university where the schools have some responsibility to provide the student with basic ethics course for a accounting education.The main aim with our paper is based on the theories of Lawrence Kohlberg about ethical development investigation potential differences in the ethical reasoning among student who are in first or last year of the studies with orientation in accounting.

This study examines the experiences and perspectives of after-school program teachers through a qualitative research approach. The purpose is to deepen the understanding of their experiences within the after-school setting and how these insights might contribute to the development of this environment. Semi-structured and narrative interviews were used for data collection, allowing a flexible and open conversational format where participants could express both concrete opinions and implicit thoughts. Following Ahrne and Svensson's (2022) argument, which emphasizes the importance of qualitative interviews in capturing experiences of individuals active within specific social settings, this method is considered well-suited for the study?s purpose. The narrative interviews provided the interviewees with the freedom to describe their own experiences in detail, while the semi-structured interviews ensured a foundational structure and opportunities for follow-up questions.

Elite sport is becoming more professional, and elite athletes have to be more committed to spend several hours in training to achieve elite level and this means that the time to pursue a university academic career to the side of elite sport is minimized. Still only few elite athletes will be able to make a living of their sport. The objective of this study is to gain a better understanding of the opportunities and difficulties for a student who combines academic study with elite sport. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with eight students studying at the University of Umeå, combining elite sport with academic studies. Results show that there are high demands on elite students to structure and plan for the combination of studies and elite sport.

Föreliggande studie har syftat till att, genom semistrukturerade djupintervjuer med professionella retuschörer aktiva i branschen, undersöka om gemensamma steg kunde urskiljas genom respondenternas beskrivningar av arbetsprocessen.Genom studien framkom det att respondenterna beskrev likartade processer samt att samarbete med medarbetare var en viktig faktor för ett utvecklande arbete. Beskrivningarna av arbetsprocessen tydde på att samtliga respondenter hade ett personligt intresse för arbetet och branschen.Respondenterna ansåg även att retuschörens tidigare erfarenhet var betydande och till stor del påverkar tidsåtgången för arbeten. De menade också att tidsåtgången även påverkas av hur utförlig arbetsordern är vid uppstart av projektet. Det framkom även att respondenterna själva inte genomför någon utförlig uppföljning och granskning av hur det slutliga materialet används..
