Arbetet syftar till att visa hur man med fördel kan integrera ordinlärning i hela främmande språkundervisningen. Inte bara som ändlösa ordlistor som eleverna bör ?banka? in. Till grund för arbetet ligger exempel på övningar som jag har använt mig av under min praktikperiod i mina klasser på en gymnasieskola i Skåne. Analysen av genomförandet av olika ordinlärningsövningar belyser två huvudfrågor: hur ökar man elevers förståelse för att det finns flera sätt att lära sig ord genom olika övningar? Hur kan eleven använda sina nyförvärvade ordkunskaper och sitt eget ordförråd under övningarna? Jag beskriver vägen från mötet med övningarna till det egna arbetet eleverna gör med ordinlärning, och redogör för några metodiska redskap som exempelvis repetition, arbete med minnesknep och autentiska texter..

Counterinsurgency (COIN) has made a comeback during the early 21-century since the majority of western countries have been involved in peace enforcement in the middle-east. Since its comeback the concept of COIN have been wildly debated but also undergone some chances since its early days, today the majority of COIN theories claims that the local population is the key to winning a COIN campaign. If you gain their trust the insurgency will lose their support and recruiting base, this is the reason why collateral damage resulting in in civilian deaths are contra-productive, it creates more insurgents. This is the incitement to further examine how civilian deaths occur and can be avoided during COIN campaigns. This essay studies the American COIN campaign in Iraq between 2004 and 2009 and aims to investigate whether there is a trilemma-like relationship between the key goals of COIN: protecting civilians, protecting one?s own forces and neutralizing the enemy.

Corporate governance intensified due to the corporate scandals in the USA which led to a new law the so called Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX).In 2005 the "Svensk kod för bolagsstyrning" (The Code) was introduced. The main purpose of The Code is to strengthen the confidence in Swedish companies quoted on the Stockholm Stock Exchange. The Code focuses on the working process of boards. The rules set by The Code places higher demands on the board.  Among many other duties the board has to establish long term operational goals and strategy.

Pigs in Swedish organic production systems have been shown to have more findings of arthritis at slaughter, compared to pigs in conventional pig production. With this in mind a study was performed, to primary, investigate variation in exterior, gait and weight gain between sire breeds and, secondly, to investigate variation between herds, season, gender, age and assessment occasion on these recordings. Swedish commercial hybrids, crosses between Norwegian Landrace and Swedish Yorkshire were inseminated with either Hampshire or Duroc as terminal sire. All the pigs had known pedigree as each semen dose contained sperms from one individual boar. All piglets were individually tagged closely after birth, and exterior and gait assessment were performed at two separate occasions, early and late during the fattening period.

Denna studie undersökte hur heterogenitet i skogsbestånd samt omgivningsfaktorerna träddiameter, variation i träddiameter, död ved och lövinslag påverkar förekomsten av 18 skogsfågelarter i södra Sverige. Fågelinventeringen utfördes med hjälp av linjetaxering längs 100 meter långa transekter. Omgivningsfaktorerna mättes i varje transekt i fem provcirklar med diametern 10 meter. Analysen av träddiameter visade att det främst var diameter på barrträd, men inte på lövträd som inverkade på förekomsten av fåglarna. Sambanden mellan diameter på barrträd och totalt antal fågelarter var övervägande negativa vid 0-30 centimeter i diameter och övervägande positiva vid 30-80 centimeter i diameter.

Ericsson AB in Katrineholm is a part of the Section Business Unit Network in the Ericsson Group. The plant's main task is to produce printed circuit boards in small volumes with a high product mix and focus on delivery and cost effectiveness. At the factory they produce printed circuit boards in the Module department.The Module department has for a long time had a high output of non-approved circuit boards in their production. This has led to a growing stock of non-approved circuit boards on the company?s repair department.The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how Ericsson in Katrineholm can increase the outflow of approved articles in their test process in the Module department.

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.

Denna studie undersöker hur pedagoger i skolans tidigare år uppfattar utomhuspedagogik. Tidigare forskning visar att pedagoger är eniga om att utomhuspedagogik kopplas till att vara en plats för lärandet där eleven upplever fenomen i sin rätta miljö. Utomhuspedagogik ses också som ett objekt då den tillåter individen att uppleva och erfara kunskaper med kroppen och material i naturen samt som en metod som tillåter variation i undervisningen. I utomhuspedagogiken läggs stort värde i förstahandserfarenheter då eleverna får uppleva och delta konkret i en växelverkan mellan teori och praktik. Utemiljön stimulerar elevernas fysiska aktiviteter och deras sinnen, vilket har en positiv inverkan på lärandet.
