Denna studie ämnar nå kunskap om bakomliggande orsaker till elevers val av studie- respektive yrkesförberedande program på gymnasiet. Studien baseras på intervjuer med åtta elever från både studie- och yrkesförberedande program. De teoretiska utgångspunkter som analysen bygger på är Bourdieus begrepp habitus samt Hodkinson & Sparks teori om karriärval. Studien visar att det framförallt är elevens intresse som styrt gymnasievalet. Vidare kan det urskiljas att familjen haft en viss implicit påverkan på eleven, när denne gör sitt gymnasieval.

Syftet med studien är att försöka förstå hur vi kan lära ut, och vad som påverkar lärandet av praktiska handgrepp vid automationsutbildningen på gymnasieskolans el-program. Följande fråga ställs, vilka uppfattningar om lärande har en grupp lärare på gymnasieskolans el-program? Inlärningsteorier har förekommit i alla tider och resultaten vid våra gymnasieskolor sägs bli sämre och sämre. Varför då? Beror det på undervisningen, eller kan det vara så att eleverna har tappat stinget? Min förhoppning var att hitta en lämplig inlärningsmetod att använda vid praktisk utbildning vid elprogrammet. Studien är kvalitativ i sin utformning med en fokusgruppsundersökning i ett lärarlag som bas och en litteraturstudie som komplement och bekräftelse till undersökningen. Slutligen diskuteras resultatet som pekar på anpassning av undervisning till gruppen snarare än att använda sig av en speciell metod..

There are numerous questions to be asked when your task is to plan a small community?s future development. Is it possible to suggest something new and modern? What considerations should be taken concerning the existing situation? What is an appropriate size for the new development? Where is it possible to build and what is the most appropriate method to use?In this master´s thesis I have tried to develop and describe a working-process where I execute a complete landscape character analysis for the whole community in question to get the answers to where and how it would be most appropriate to develop a village like Flädie without destroying its current character.Flädie is a typical small village in the countryside of Skåne, Sweden. It is strongly effected by the expansive and urban region it?s located in but is still rural in character.

In Based upon disciplinary foundation... ? A study on teachers? prerequisite for continuing pro- fessional development (CPD) I have examined the prerequisites that teachers in Nacka have for CPD, due to the new school law that states that all teaching must be based upon disciplinary foundation and proven experience. According to a recently published governmental report, as well as international research, not only structural aspects like time and financial compensation are crucial to whether teachers continue their development. Encouragement from the principal and colleagues are also a contributing factor; and not to mention those factors combined.There is a world wide shared consensus among educational researchers claiming that one very important piece in creating a successful school is having a well-educated and updated staff.

This report describes the development of a web site for co-workers on leave of absence at Volvo Cars Engine AB and graduated students at Volvo Upper Secondary School in Skövde. The aim of the web site is to be a complement to existing communication channels in the promotion of the contact between the target group and the company. The work was divided into two parts; the first consisting of a preliminary study used to identify the information which the target group finds absent in their absence from their place of work/school, and the second part consisting of the development of a proposition of content layout and web site design. The finished proposition was presented along with a couple of alternatives for the technical implementation. The information department at Volvo Cars Engine AB in consultation with Volvo Cars IT will carry on the implementation, administration and further development of the proposed solutions..

To be allowed to sell Z-suspended vehicles with dipped beam Xenon or LED lighting, Scania have to develop automatic headlight level control. This master?s thesis aims to be the foundation to that development.The thesis consists of several parts; a market analysis of how competitors to Scania and the general vehicle industry solve this problem; several available principles for detecting the amount of control needed; the construction of a test station for sensors, a control unit and components connected controlled by the control unit; a further theoretical and practical development of one principle ? one rotational sensor connected between the chassis and the back drive axis; a state flow model programmed in Simulink that produces the control signal for the headlight leveling from the sensor input.Lastly the thesis gives some recommendations to the further development and implementation of automatic headlight level control on Scania vehicles..

The purpose of this thesis is to identify the factors that drive efficiency and effectiveness in technical development projects performed at A?F?s department of product development. In addition to identifying and analyzing these factors, the thesis also analyzes what needs to be taken in to account in order to implement a measurement system that is able to both monitor and control the identified factors.The thesis has been performed in a qualitative manner. It is based on interviews with people from several different technological companies, within different lines of business, all of which are customers to A?F?s department of product development.The results show that there are seven critical factors for project efficiency and effectiveness.

Vi har i denna studie undersökt hur tjejer på yrkes- respektive studieförberedande program på två olika orter ser på sin framtid. Våra forskningsfrågor löd: Vilken syn på framtiden har gymnasietjejer på studieförberedande respektive yrkesförberedande program i Stockholms innerstad och Avesta? Vilka skillnader går att skönja i den syn på framtiden som tjejer på studie- respektive yrkesförberedande gymnasieprogram har, i Stockholms innerstad respektive Avesta? Samt hur kan man förstå dessa eventuella skillnader? Svaret på forskningsfrågorna sökte vi genom att knyta an de svar ett antal intervjuade tjejer gav, till tidigare forskning och teoretiska perspektiv med relevans för ämnet. Här har främst Pierre Bourdieus studier om det kulturella kapitalet samt Donald Broadys och Ida Lidegrans studier om utbildningskapital utgjort det material vi tagit avstamp i för analysen. Vi kom fram till att  det främst finns skillnader mellan programmen och att det går att förstå de här tjejernas olika syn på framtiden genom att titta på deras bakgrund.

In today?s competitive market, design is an important element for the companies. They must succeed with delivering an increased value and an experience for the consumer to be able to survive. The Swedish company?s have become better in the design area, the higher standards the consumer?s demands forces the company to invest more in design.

Requirements management is an important part of the software development process. The success of a project may depend on how this is handled. Even though several research studies indicates that more attention should be paid on non-functional requirements, the primary focus in practical projects still regards identifying functional requirements. Especially the prioritization of the non-functional requirements has been proven to be of great importance for the success of a project.This report investigates basics in agile requirements management involving opinions from experts from a software development company. This is done with help of existing literature and interviews with key actors involved in prioritization at the company.

This Masters thesis concerns how library and preschool can cooperate in supporting childrens language development and especially that of bilingual children. We have investigated how librarians and preschool teachers different competences can complement each other to gain the best result in work with childrens language development. This study is based on qualitative interviews with four librarians and three preschool teachers. The answers from them have been analysed according to different categories. Our results show that both librarians and preschool teachers think that bilingual children need extra support and that it takes longer to learn two languages.
