Den här uppsatsens syfte har varit att studera variationen av uppfattningar bland gymnasieelever på det naturvetenskapliga programmet om vad som bidrar till deras lust att lära. Detta eftersom att det i Skollagen (2010:800) står att utbildningen ska främja elevers utveckling och lärande samt en livslång lust att lära.Studien har utförts som en allmänpedagogisk studie i form utav en enkätundersökning. Enkätundersökningens syfte var att fånga variation bland informanternas utsagor angående deras egna uppfattningar och erfarenheter om vad som bidrar till deras lust att lära. Undersökningen utfördes genom ett klusterurval bland gymnasieskolorna i Nordvästra Skåne och urvalet av informanter blev elever på det naturvetenskapliga programmet och totalt medverkande 110 elever från två gymnasieskolor i Nordvästra Skåne. Det är genom de medverkande elevernas utsagor som den här uppsatsen presenterat sitt empiriska material.

The globalization of today?s society has enabled consumers to acquire products and services from all over the world. Global organizations have the entire world as a playfield and offer products and services across markets. Regardless perception and transparency of the global market, consumers are still individuals. Consumers may have different perceptions and ideas about products, their functions and usage.

Background and Problem definition: Atypical employment is something that has becomeincreasingly common in recent decades, these are defined as positions where no relationship is of thetraditional type in which the employee has a long term relationship with the employer and where hecarries out his work at the premises of the employer. These atypical employments can take variousforms, it can be fixed term contracts, project work or jobs in employment agencies and so on. Thestaffing sector in Sweden has grown rapidly since the 90s, and since international research shows thatthe three-way relationship arising from the use of staffing agencies may lead to challenges in differentparts of HRM, we have chosen to study this topic.Aim: The purpose of this paper is to describe and understand how HRM is handled in atypicalemployment relationships.Method: The epistemological starting point for this work is hermeneutics, as a result of this theresearch approach is qualitative and inspired by abduction. The authors have chosen to carry out thework as a case study of three primary cases, each one consisting of an employment agency, a clientorganization and an employee. The analysis is based on the hermeneutics principles of interpretationand concentration of meaning.Results: What emerged as central to how HRM is handled are the interdependencies that existbetween the business environment and the strategies of the firm, how they affect different parts ofHRM and how participation and liminality have an impact on the three-way relationship.Keywords: HRM, atypical employment, staffing agencies, three-way relationship and strategy..

This thesis describes how social work language practice circulates around the implementation process of an evidence based structured assessment tool – Savry. The purpose is to examine and understand the social workers language practice in a working group that uses this structured assessment tool in their work with youth. The purpose is also to look for dimensions of identity in terms of discourse. The ontological viewpoint is post-structuralism where language is in focus. The theoretical framework is discourse theory based upon the work of Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe.

Trygghet kan både vara, fysisk, mental och social. Platsens utformning, rädslan för brott, tidigare erfarenheter och personer i omgivningen är faktorer som påverkar upplevelsen av trygghet vilket diskuteras i denna rapport.Stadens utformning påverkar den upplevda tryggheten och rädslan för brott förknippas ofta med utomhusmiljöer som är avskilda, mörka, slitna och där sikten och överblicken är dålig. Gångtunnlar är sådana platser allmänheten upplever som otrygga.Jag har i min rapport valt att skriva om otrygga utomhusmiljöer med fokus på gångtunnlar för att ta reda på hur användandet av rumsliga element kan främja trygghetskänslan i dessa miljöer. Detta för att utveckla ett gestaltningsförslag med tillämpning för gångtunneln ?Tillgången? i Eskilstuna.

This retrospective study aimed to examine differences at age fivebetween twenty-six internationally adopted and twenty-six Swedish-bornchildren with cleft lip and palate regarding age of surgery, speech andintervention. Correlation between age of surgery and speechvariables andgender differences was examined. Blind assessment of audio recordedsentence repetition or naming of words was performed by two speechpathologists. Soft palate was closed significantly later for the study groupthan the control group. Age at closure of hard palate did not differ.

The underlying purpose of this study is to investigate how the libraries in Sweden organize and administrate the service of providing literature in other languages than Swedish. The study focuses on the central guiding principles that regulate the provision of multilingual literature and how these guidelines are implemented in to practice at the libraries. As the guidelines are closely connected to the official discourse in Sweden concerning policies targeted towards immigrants, the guidelines will be examined from a perspective of integration politics. To assemble data a survey has been conducted looking into factors such as how the libraries perceive the guidelines, how the libraries do business intelligence and user inquires to reach out to the users of the multilingual media, forms for statistics and method of working. The results points out that the libraries in their work with multilingual media are confronted with three tensions; the first tension is that between the libraries aim to promote equality and freedom for the individual and at the same time to fulfil certain collective interests and goals.

The aim of this study was to study how Swedish youth national football players handle stressful events in sports. A longitudinal questionnaire diary was constructed from a revised version of Nicholls and Polmans (2007) design with the intention of recording in-sport and psychosocial stress, choice of coping strategy and coping effectiveness. The participants were 59 Swedish youth national football players born 1992 observed during a four day national training camp held by the Swedish Football Association. Data were drawn from a quantifying analyzing method. The main result showed that the most common stressors reported were, physical injury or pain, experiencing teammates or opponents to perform better and feeling generally insecure during training camp.

Denna uppsats handlar om alfabetiseringsundervisning av vuxna andraspråksinlärare. Undersökningens syfte är att ta reda på några lärares pedagogiska val i sin alfabetiseringsundervisning, vad dessa val grundar sig på samt vad lärarna anser vara befrämjande undervisning för dessa elever. Undersökningen har en fenomenologisk infallsvinkel och består av kvalitativa intervjuer med fyra lärare på två olika skolor. Resultatet visar att lärarna anser det vara viktigt med hemklassrum, att de utgår ifrån elevernas verklighet och använder helst autentiskt material och bilder, samt betonar att repetition och konkretisering är viktiga pedagogiska metoder liksom förmågan att sätta sig in i elevernas situation. Lärarna anser att det som befrämjar elevernas inlärning är tillgång till modersmålslärare och speciallärare, en trygg arbetsmiljö och att lärarna ser eleverna som kompetenta individer.

Officially, the EU gender policy since 2000 has been guided by the strategy of Gender Mainstreaming. This strategy aims to promote gender equality and is informed by a feminist ontology which stipulates that women are structurally subordinated.In this essay, I examine whether the European Commission has adequately adhered to this gender policy in its free trade negotiations with the ACP (African, Caribbean, and Pacific) countries as part of the Cotonou Agreement. As a result of my text analysis of documents related to the negotiations, opinion pieces by interested actors and policy papers of the EU, I find that the Commission does not act in accordance to its stated gender policy.To explain this discrepancy between policy intent and actions, I employ postliberal feminist theory and Robert Putnam's Two-Level Game Theory Model. By analyzing statistics and published research, I explore how gender issues are being represented politically on a domestic and international level.My findings show that a key cause of this discrepancy lies in the low levels of female participation in the political institutions of the EU and ACP; a lack of participation that is especially pronounced in the area of international economics. In explaining the constraints on female participation and the prospects of full implementation of the EU's gender policy in the international political economy, I emphasize the role of culturally and historically gendered institutions..

The investigation aims to clarify to what extent non-conscious thought has efficacy in for instance decision making,and also examine some aspects of the question whether decisions are caused by free will. This is done by an analysisof new research in neuroscience, economics, the combination of the two within neuroeconomics, evolutionarytheory and especially the new theory of Unconscious thought (Nordgren & Dijksterhuis 2006), which will enjoyspecial scrutiny due to its recentness in the scientific field. A decision strategy ought to put high-level consciouscognition to use where it is most effective, and this is on a different level than the canonized one. Meta decisionmaking is decision making concerning which decisions ought to be made consciously. It is the area where the largestamount of freedom can be obtained wherein the largest amount of thought effort ought to be invested.

Substansvärde - ett bolags tillgångar minus skulder, används ofta vid värdering av fastighetsbolag för att avgöra om de är över- eller undervärderade. Fastighetsbolag kan antingen handlas till en substansrabatt eller en substanspremie, vilket visar förhållandet mellan bolagets börsvärde och substansvärde. Storleken på dessa tenderar att variera både över tid och mellan bolag, vilket länge har fångat intresset från både akademiker och investerare. Denna studie syftar att förklara denna variation genom att undersöka två alternativa förklaringar. Den ena baseras på rationella förklaringsvariabler och den andra på icke-rationella förklaringsvariabler.

One could argue that the most discussed topic in finance is whether or not it is possible to ?beat the market?. Even though many people claim to do this, there is little evidence to support the idea that one can consistently beat the market over a long period of time. There are indeed several examples of investors who have managed to outperform the market consistently for a long time, but the efforts of these individuals or institutions could by many be considered to be pure luck.One of the many strategies that have been evaluated by several researchers and is said to generate a risk adjusted return greater than that of the market, is one based on the P/E-effect. This strategy is based on the financial ratio P/E ? price divided by earnings ? and used by constructing portfolios consisting of stocks with low P/E ratios.

Purpose/Aim: To create a communication strategy for PADI Nordic with the intention of getting Swedish divers, who have been certified abroad, to Swedish dive centers.Material/Method: The study is based on a number of personal interviews conducted with a) divers who are active in Sweden, b) divers who are not active in Sweden and c) representatives from PADI and PADI affiliated dive centers.Main results: The main reason that people who have been certified abroad do not dive in Sweden is that they regard it as being too complicated, too cold, too expensive and with nothing interesting to see. These might partly be misconceptions that can be corrected through a communication strategic effort. The best way to change this perception is by two different forms of communication. One will go from PADI Nordic straight to the divers through an email. This will have the purpose of getting their attention, making diving sound interesting and raise their awareness in preparation for the other part of the process.

This bachelor thesis describes why investors should invest in environmentally certified buildings instead of non certified buildings. The report provides an overview of possible factors influencing an investor in the investment process of an environmentally certified building. The report explains why building companies find incentive to build green buildings and how a cash flow method can be adapted so it can be used in the valuation process of an environmentally certified building. Environmentally certified buildings are used as a strategy to reduce emissions that threaten the environment as well as a strategy to obtain market shares for the building companies. This report focuses on the economic advantages of an environmentally certified building.The construction- and real estate industry stands for approximately 40 percent of the energy consumption in the world.
