The landscape with its associated historical tracks and remains are an important part of our cultural heritage that we consider important to conserve. The stone walls are an example of historical remains that helps to build up this cultural heritage. It is a landscape element that today usually is being associated with the old cultivated landscape, where they mainly functioned as boundary markings and fences. Today, the stone wall is a valuable element in the landscape with ecological, culture-historical and aesthetic values. Since the stone walls arose as elements in the landscape a lot has been changed within the agriculture.

I Sverige finns en skollag som ska garantera alla elever likva?rdig utbildning oavsett social bakgrund men a?nda? pa?visar statistik fra?n Skolverket att utbildningsniva?n verkar ga? i arv. Detta bekra?ftas a?ven i tidigare studier av Mikael Palme som visade att elever fra?n den o?vre medelklassen, vars fo?ra?ldrar hade eftergymnasial utbildning, hade blivit utrustade med kunskaper i hemmiljo?n som sedan premierades i skolan, vilket ledde till att de bland annat uppfattades som bega?vade av la?rare. Studien syftar till att studera om vilka faktorer som pa?verkar elevers skolprestationer och pa? vilket sa?tt fo?ra?ldrars utbildningsniva? inverkar pa? elevers betyg. Vidare syftar underso?kningen till att fa? en uppfattning om elevers syn pa? utbildning och hur de ta?nker kring sin skolga?ng.

Kommunikation har en central roll i dagens samhälle, särskilt i våra skolor där det används för social interaktion, för att sprida information och för att befästa kunskap. Syftet med den här studien är att identifiera och definiera kommunikationen som äger rum i ämnena bild och engelska ? hur den går till väga vad som utmärker och skiljer kommunikationen åt mellan de båda ämnena. Den här studien innehåller en kvantitativ studie av GY11:s ämnesplaner för bild och engelska, och en kvalitativ studie av åtta stycken intervjuer med lärare inom ämnena bild och engelska på gymnasial nivå i Växjö. Resultatet av den här studien visar på att definitionen av vad kommunikation är skiljer sig åt i de båda ämnesplanerna.

Syftet med denna studie a?r att undersoka de elevsvar eleverna ger na?r de anva?nder sig av en la?robok i svenska?mnet som informationska?lla eller av internet som informationska?lla. Dessa elevsvar sa?tts i perspektiv genom betygsa?ttning ba?de av oss samt av en extern la?rare. Studiens forskningsansats a?r en kvalitativ och kvantitativ undersokningsmetod med en experimentell tendens.

My study is focused on one organization with is Unicef, the organization that is workning on a UN mission. The mission is about children's rights and Unicef has brought children's actions since 1946.The purpose of this essay was to research whether the images can be used alone or as a complement to the text that the communication organizations use.

The purpose of this study is to examine how parliament executes its responsibility of oversight against the government. In Sweden, parliamentary oversight of the government rests with a standing committee of parliament known as the constitutional committee.Drawing on general principal-agent theory I construct a model in which members of the constitutional committee are seen as agents in double and conflicting agency assignments. This constitutes a problem for the agent. Since it is the party group in parliament that controls the fulfilment of the agents? objectives, the agent is presumed to follow the party assignment to the detriment of the parliament assignment.The model generates two hypotheses concerning they type of oversight we should expect the members of the constitutional committee to perform against the government.

Denna studie syftar till att unders?ka hur speciall?rare beskriver sitt arbete med estetiska uttryckss?tt i undervisning f?r elever med intellektuell funktionsneds?ttning (IF), samt om och i s? fall hur dessa uttryckss?tt kan st?dja utvecklingen av spr?k, kommunikation, kognition och motoriska f?rm?gor. Vidare syftar studien till att belysa vilka m?jligheter och hinder som speciall?rare uppfattar i detta arbete, samt hur samverkan med annan pedagogisk personal beskrivs.Studien har en kvalitativ ansats och baseras p? intervjuer med speciall?rare. Det empiriska materialet har analyserats med en tematisk analys, med utg?ngspunkt i ett sociokulturellt perspektiv samt ett biopsykosocialt syns?tt.Resultaten visar att estetiska uttryckss?tt i anpassad skola fungerar som ett viktigt pedagogiskt redskap f?r att fr?mja delaktighet och kommunikativt deltagande, s?rskilt f?r elever med begr?nsad verbal f?rm?ga.

De flesta svenska gåsbestånden har ökat kraftigt de senaste decennierna, och de stannar ofta längre i Skåne innan och under flytt än vad de tidigare gjort. Detta har lett till ett ökat tryck på landskapet, särskilt i områden där stora flockar samlas som till exempel vid vattendrag. Syftet med studien är att illustrera vikten av gässens avföring med hänsyn till näringstillförsel i jämförelse med andra lokala näringskällor. Fyra dammar inventerades mellan maj 2004 och mars 2005..

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the narrative elements in three of the Swedish artist Karin Mamma Anderssons paintings and try to see what kind of stories that might be hidden in these paintings. I have chosen three different themes as tools for this study. They are: the meaning or the importance of the titles, painting as a medium and the narrative elements or components in the paintings. Furthermore I also use the semiotic method in my analysis based on the ideas of Roland Barthes combined with a feminist theoretical standpoint with a gender perspective. This means my study is based on the reception of these images and what kind of message they might carry.

I detta arbete sa? vill jag studera hur praktisk fysikundervisning och bedo?mning i na?grasvenska gymnasieskolor o?verenssta?mmer med modern forskning om fysikpedagogik.Denna forskning spa?nner o?ver ett brett spektrum av metoder och teorier, varav jag harfokuserat pa? om la?rarnas undervisning kan beskrivas som-elevaktiv eller inte,-mer eller mindre baserad pa? bokstudier,-inriktad pa? konceptuell fo?rsta?else eller mer fo?rma?gan att ra?kna specifika uppgifter.Dessa aspekter diskuteras a?ven i relation till de inblandade la?rarnas utbildning.Fo?r att kunna ja?mfo?ra de olika klasserna och la?rarna har jag anva?nt ett test avkonceptuell fo?rsta?else (FCI, se sektion 3.2) samt enka?ter till la?rare och elever. Ur etttyva?rr skevt urval av klasser och la?rare framga?r att det finns stora skillnader pa? hurla?rarna ser pa? undervisningen och vilka undervisningsmetoder de anva?nder, samt hurstyrt de upplever sitt arbete. Korrelationerna mellan elevernas resultat pa? FCI och pa?ordinarie prov pa? motsvarande mekanik a?r sma?, vilket tyder pa? att regulja?ra provma?ter konceptuell fo?rsta?else i liten utstra?ckning.

This paper examines the reasons behind firms considering backsourcing. While firms experience problems with their outsourcing activities, backsourcing emerges as an alternative solution. Firms primarily take cost considerations into account when reconsidering their outsourcing practices, but this only scratches the surface. A deeper analysis is needed, since cost increases arise from issues such as quality defects and cooperation problems. Even though production costs are low, outsourcing always implies transaction costs.

The main aim of this thesis is to examine what motivates people to become entrepreneurs and how they are motivated to continue being it. We have decided to focus on four elements: the driving force of being an entrepreneur, the environment, the individual background and important personal characteristics of the entrepreneur. Qualitative interviews were carried out with six information consultants. The theoretical background has its focus on entrepreneurial motivation. A model of entrepreneurial motivation by Naffziger, Hornsby and Kuratko 1994 is presented.

This thesis investigates similarities and disparities between Swedish and Polish Labour Law concerning dismissals due to operational requirements and group redundancies. The study focuses on three important elements where the employers? liberty is legally infringed upon in a procedure of notice. These elements concerns the legal conditions of notice that must be fulfilled, the rules of the procedure and the rules for employment protection that is granted in connection with dismissals due to operational requirement or group redundancies. In the thesis there is a comparative map that outlines the most important rules within the Swedish and Polish legal systems concerning the subject.

In this study we are seeking to discover the norms in the design of logotypes and how they havechanged over time. To achieve this we have chosen to analyze the logotypes of twenty companies withthe largest expenditure on advertising in Sweden. We mapped chosen design attributes within the logoto discover the similarities and then we selected the five oldest brands to analyze how their logos havechanged over time. The design changes in the logotypes over time is can be related to the changingattitudes of the general public and the designers ambitions to draw on convention to create iconic designthat will spark brand-recognition. However many changes can?t be directly explained through changesin convention.
