I uppsatsen studeras stilen i Stig Claessons romaner Vem älskar Yngve Frej, På palmblad och rosor samt Henrietta ska du också glömma. Syftet är undersöka syntax, disposition och innehållsaspekter som motiv, symboler och tema och jämföra resultatet med tidigare forskning. I uppsatsen studeras också romanernas textbindning. Undersökningen visar att Claesson använder sig av repetition avseende både syntax, motiv och innehåll vilket skapar en väl sammanhållen, långsamt framskridande och rytmisk text med betydelseglidningar..

Syftet med vårt arbete är att finna vägar att stärka och utveckla självförtroende och självkänsla hos elever med lättare intellektuella funktionshinder i gymnasiesärskolan, med hjälp av en kvalitativ intervjustudie med elever och deras föräldrar. Resultatet av vår undersökning visar, att ungdomarna upplevt sin tidiga skolgång problematisk, i större eller mindre omfattning. Övergången till gymnasiesärskolan har genomgående varit en positiv erfarenhet. Den kritik som elever och föräldrar framför mot skolan är att det ställs för låga krav och att man saknar utmaningar och variation i undervisningen. För att möta dessa krav och för att bemöta eleverna på ett riktigt sätt behövs ett specialpedagogiskt förhållningssätt hos alla som arbetar i skolan..

In this thesis we study the development of post-earnings announcement drift (PEAD) in the Swedish equity market from 2000 to 2009. By forming portfolios based on the stock price reaction to quarterly reporting we show that the characteristics of PEAD have changed. We demonstrate that negatively surprising companies show a positive drift during a holding period of six months sufficiently large to render the trading strategy unprofitable. This development holds from 2005 and onwards and these results contradict many a study which finds the same portfolio construction to be indeed profitable. We argue that this development is a trend that will not only affect our study but future studies as well..

Sedan bytet av växelkurssystem och introducerandet av inflationsmålsstyrning i slutet av 1992 respektive början av 1993 har Sveriges Riksbank bedrivit penningpolitik förankrad i ett räntestyrningssystem där låg och stabil inflation eftersträvas. Enligt makroekonomisk teori skapar ett sådant system med nödvändighet krav på kompromiss mellan å ena sidan liten variation i inflation och å andra sidan liten variation i BNP-gapet (konjunkturen). Som följd av en ökad trovärdighet för den nya penningpolitiken meddelade Riksbanken i början av 1999 officiellt att mer hänsyn ska tas till den reala ekonomin på bekostnad av något större variation i inflationen. I den här uppsatsen undersöks genom skattning av modifierade Taylorregler baserade på realtidsdata över Riksbankens prognoser på inflation och BNP-gap i vilken utsträckning penningpolitiken har blivit mer flexibel över tiden. Resultaten visar att BNP-gapets påverkan på reporäntan har varit i princip oförändrad mellan 1993 och 2005..

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to give a contribution to the studies of what strategies those are of importance for challengers in consumer technological markets aiming for the market leader position. To be able to investigate this phenomenon we have chosen to study Microsoft?s second position in the video game console industry. In addition, we want to illuminate Microsoft?s competitive advantages, how Microsoft can take advantage from Sony?s setbacks and what strategies those are of importance for Microsoft in the battle of becoming the market leader.

The emergency medical care in Sweden has been under persistent debate, due to factors such as long waiting hours, inefficient patient flow, and understaffed departments. In an effort to meet the critique and with a willingness to improve the problems, an increasing amount of emergency clinics are adopting theories and models within Lean. Positive outcomes are evident, there has been some criticism directed towards Lean. Among these is the argument that in order for Lean to be successful it needs to be used within standardized and foreseeable processes, and that it therefore only is applicable to those kind of processes found within industrial production. This prompted the question of whether Lean was a suitable strategy within emergency medical care, considering the large variation of patients and non-foreseeable processes that in fact share little resemblance to that of industrial production.

This degree project aim to evaluate if variations of the STFI thickness can be used to assess bumpiness on cardboard. During the project cardboard samples were measured using Bendtsen, PPS, a L&W formation tester, OptiTopo, Ambertec formation, the STFI thickness tester and a visual comparison. The different methods were then compared to see if there is any correlations between them. The results showed that the visual comparison and OptiTopo correlates. The STFI thickness tester shows however no correlation with the OptiTopo and visual comparison, thus aren't suitable measuring bumpiness..

Syftet var att undersöka om det fanns en variation i hur kvinnliga respektive manliga pedagoger bemötte flickor och pojkar utifrån genus, där studien hade sin grund i ett genusperspektiv. Frågor vi utgick ifrån var: Vilka uttryck tar sig pedagogernas bemötande av eleverna i klassrumsituationer utifrån ett genusperspektiv? Vad har pedagogerna för tankar om genus, kön och jämställdhet? Finns en variation i pedagogernas förhållningssätt till genus och jämställdhet i relation till skolämnet och i så fall hur uttrycker det sig? Studien bygger på observationer och intervjuer i en medelstor stad i Sverige, med fyra pedagoger i olika ämnen i årskurs 6. Intervjuerna har transkriberats och jämförts med observationerna samt teoretiska begrepp och tidigare forskning för att se om det fanns en variation i deras bemötande. Resultatet av denna studie visade att pedagogers bemötande ur ett genusperspektiv påverkade deras inställning till genusordningen som i sin tur resulterade i att de bemötte elever olika.
