Den utbildningspolitiska intentionen i Sverige har länge präglats av en stark ambition att "överbrygga" klyftan mellan de teoretiska och praktiska gymnasieutbildningarna. Flertalet utredningar och gymnasiereformer har tidigare inte lyckats åstadkomma mer än organisatoriska förändringar. 1991 års gymnasiereform genomfördes med Lpf-94 och sett ur ett utbildningspolitisktperspektiv, är genomförandet rent teoretiskt den reform som kommit närmast den utbildningspolitiska intentionen. Men frågan kvarstår vad har reformen inneburit sett ur ett individperspektiv i ett utbildningssystem med en grundskola och ett gymnasium för alla. En skola för alla betyder i praktiken en skola som skall tillgodose samtliga elevers olika behov.

Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur stor del av de män och kvinnor som döms till fängelse som har uppmärksamhetsstörning (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, ADHD). Den skall även besvara frågan om huruvida det finns skillnader mellan könen i prevalens, samt om det finns korrelation mellan ADHD och Antisocial personlighetsstörning (ASPD). Metoden som används är självskattningsformulär som är välbeprövade inom detta område, Wender-Utah rating Scale (WURS) och Mini Neuropsykiatrisk Intervju (M.I.N.I.). Formulären besvarades av 49 fängelsedömda män och kvinnor, vilka var inskrivna på kriminalvårdsanstalter i mellansverige. Resultatet av studien visar att en hög andel av den aktuella populationen har både ADHD och ASPD.

The origin of the word ?communication? is the Latin word communicare, meaning to make common. The reason for our communication is to share thoughts, feelings and information, we want to affect and confirm.We are used to interpersonal communication, but even if we have had a lot of practice at it during our lives, we still find our selves facing misunderstandings and conflicts. The more people we meet during a day, the greater the chance is for interruptions in the communication.In pharmacy practice, good communication is vital for the client?s health and quality of life.

Tidigare studier inom elevers matematiska resonemang visar att de imitativa resonemangen dominerar inom matematisk problemlösning. Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie är att se vad för matematiska resonemang elever i årskurs 4 för inom området ?likheter? och ?lika med?. Undersökningen visade att eleverna använde kreativa matematiska resonemang i 19 problemsituationer av totalt 32. Det uppkom ett resonemang som inte finns med i det ramverk som studien utgår ifrån.

Syftet med detta examensjobb är att få fram idéer om hur ArcView GIS kan användas för att på ett enklare, tydligare och smidigare sätt visa upp var Banverket har och var man tänker utföra ogräsbekämpning längs järnvägen. Idag fungerar det så att informationen ligger lagrat på papperskartor, i pärmar, i någon dator någonstans och så vidare. Sammanfattningsvis är det svårt att snabbt hitta det man söker. GIS användandet ligger i startgroparna inom Banverket, så detta examensarbete ska vara ett praktiskt exempel på hur tekniken med geografisk information kan nyttjas. För att spara både jobb och kostnader.

Background: With the increased globalization food prices went down for a while, only to skyrocket to new levels. Prices of organic food, which already were more expensive than conventional, are now even more expensive. The current financial crisis results in reduced consumption which creates a threat to the smaller grocery stores. Globalization and the increased competition have had a negative impact on the environment but at the same time the desire to solve these issues has increased appreciably. The environmental aspect has been given higher priority by the individual, which led to a wider range of organic products and dramatically increased the number of stores selling organic products, leading to a greater competition among the stores selling organic food.  Problem definition: What factors are important for organic retail business long term survival?Purpose: Trough case studies analyze and evaluate the organic niche retail companies? strategies of marketing.Methods: This study is based on both qualitative and quantitative research methods.

I detta examensarbete har jag valt att dokumentera och analysera en soffas stoppningshistoria. Soffan, som även kan kallas en färstmanssoffa, är i nyrokokostil och från ca 1870-talet. En kort beskrivning av historiken kring soffan återges samt lite stilhistoria från tiden då den är tillverkad. Jag har valt att ta tillvara på så mycket som möjligt av stoppningen på soffan, en så kallad bevarandetapetsering. Syftet var att dokumentera soffan, vilka material som använts och vilka åtgärder och förändringar som gjorts under årens lopp.

Few generations have gotten as much media attention as Generation Y. Growing up in the digital age Generation Y has become very different from previous generations. An interesting topic is if this is reflected in the way Generation Y act as leaders. The purpose of this study is to describe what kind of leadership Generation Y prefers, to explore how individuals belonging to Generation Y act as leaders and finally to investigate if there is a discrepancy between these two perspectives and if so try to understand it. By reviewing existing research and conducting depth interviews with employees and managers at a Swedish bank we recognize preferences in a number of categories, which Generation Y require from leaders.

This thesis investigated if a combination of increased under colour removal (decreasing the total ink limit), normal andincreased density and modern FM-screening could be used to provide a visually better print on uncoated and coated paperin comparison with AM-screening using the same conditions.Two different test groups (one with graphic background, the other with no graphic background) were asked to a visuallyassess the quality of the prints presented in a pair comparison using a reference image.The results show that the FM-screening did not obtain any significant visual difference in comparison with AM-screening,regardless of paper types and density levels. In general however, prints on coated paper were graded higher..

When Swedish authorities are to purchase or rent something, public procurement is used as a means to an end. Authorities as well as suppliers are subjects to the fact that Swedish law regarding public procurement regulates the form of procurement in one set of particular regulations (LOU) and the form of contracts in another set of general regulations (AvtL). Suppliers and purchasing authorities close a contract regarding the subject of procurement and the law of public procurement regulates when such a contract can be closed, simultaneously the law of contracts regulates when parties are held to contracts and when contracts are to be rescinded. I investigate in this essay what these two types of regulations can result in for the contracting parties. As it is today agreements that have been entered into wrongfully still are valid, even if a court of law nullifies the procurement and sentences the purchasing authority to make a new public procurement.

Abstract Cavities used to be a very common problem but over time humans have learned to take care of their teeth. However, there are still many who have problems. This problem is due to microorganisms and in particular the various streptococci and lactobacilli producing acids which loosens up the enamel on teeth. These bacteria can be found at various places in the mouth and saliva. Besides being a discomfort it can be a major problems and the damaged tooth needs to be removed or make a dental filling. The aim of the study was to see how intake of probiotic tablets containing Lactobacillus reuteri PTA ATCC 5289 and Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 affects the levels of oral Streptococcus mutans and lactobacilli over a three-week period.

Identitet har länge varit föremål för diskussion, både inom filosofi och inom juridik. Min avsikt var att försöka utröna om det finns ett sammband mellan hur filosofer respektive jurister identitesbegreppet, vad gäller ting jag har använt en text skriven av en nutida filosof för att försöka utröna hur filosoferna ser på identitesbegreppet. För att kunna utröna hur jurister ser på begreppet har jag studerat ett antal rättsfäll. jag har inte kunnat hitta några direkt synbara kopplingar mellan hur begreppet"identitet"används inom filosofin respektive inom juridiken. De har helt enkelt för olika utgångspunkter och för olika värden att tillvarata.
