This paper is based on a study of the Christian religious school. In Sweden today, surveys have shown that there is a common fear and negative attitude towards Christian religious schools. Despite this fact these schools increase in numbers, which makes it relevant to investigate what reasons the parents base their decision on when making Christian religious schools their school of choice for their children. The formulation of the question in this paper is therefore based on why the parents choose to place their children in a Christian religious school. Previous research on this topic is very scarce and poor, which makes it a relevant topic to investigate more thoroughly.

The purpose of this study has been to explore the expectations of the primary school on the activities of the pre-school. In order to limit the study I have chosen to compare the expectations found in two different schools. In the first case, the pre-school is integrated with the after-school centre and grade one to three (primary school), into the same building. In the other case, the pre-school share localities with the after-school centre in a separate building, with its own yard, within the primary school area. Since the purpose is rather comprehensive, it has been divided into sub-themes with separate set of questions.

The thoughts of a common school for all children have been around since the 1800?s but was something that was introduced in Sweden first in 1962. When the curriculum for primary school came in 1980 there was a new concept, a school for all. With a school for all it was aimed that all children should have the right to participation and a common education no matter what needs they could have.During my education I have come across the concept a school for all and that is something that interested me. Today?s curricula and school laws aim to ensure that all children have the right to equal education and inclusion whatever needs you have.The purpose of this study is to find out some pedagogues? thoughts and work around the concept a school for all.

Therefore, the primary school have the fundamental role to attend the foreign and their families.The teacher plan for primary schools (Lpfö98) make it very clear that children with foreign background are given the full support in their development in a multicultural society. The aim of this report is to investigate how two pre-school teachers and one school counselors? work with these newly arrived children in preschool to support their integration in the preschool.As the role of the primary school is so vital for children with foreign background in this new society, I would therefore like to take the opportunity to explore and show how meaningful the role is of teachers to integrate these children into the Swedish primary schools.In this report, the theory part is treated based on integration and on the schools suspension to multicultural backgrounds. For this report, I even stress the support of the primary school and how they meet the foreign children and their families.

Aim: The aim of the present study was to investigate work-related and personal causes of sickness presenteeism. The study also aimed to identify the overall prevalence of sickness presence in Scandinavia, including potential occupational sectors with higher prevalence.

Knowledge is frequently discussed in modern society, and has been since ancient Greece. Our goal is to examine the content of two political documents with the desire to point out their visions about how the Swedish school system should be shaped, in relations to knowledge. More precise this essay is going to concentrate on two specific political parties, Folkpartiet and Vansterpartiet and their official programs on the subject school and education, to see what they say about knowledge. The choice is made on the basis that these parties political standings differ most from each other, in the left/right scale in politics. The qualitative analysis takes its main base from Aristotels concepts of knowledge; Episteme, techne and fronesis, and Bernt Gustavssons modern defenitions of them.

This study aims to find out what relationship high school students have to social networks at the Internet. This has been done by focusing on norms/standards that adolescents can feel under stress to achieve, through stressing themselves by social networks in a way that is consistent with the norms. The empirical data has been gathered by questionnaires which have been answered by adolescents in randomly selected schools and classes in a medium size Swedish town, Karlskrona. The result showed that all of the participating adolescents have user accounts on a social network. Furthermore it also emerged that a lot of the adolescents thought that norms existed that should be followed in a social network about how to stress oneself.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att studera förhållandet mellan hälsa och arbetsliv, och hur balansen mellan individ och arbetsmiljö påverkar stress och hälsa. Studien fokuserar på arbetsrelaterad stress och utbrändhet ur ett ledar- och ett medarbetarperspektiv. Arbetsrelaterad stress är ett fenomen som har vuxit sig till ett allvarligt problem, som medfört ökad sjukfrånvaro och ekonomiska konsekvenser för såväl företag som samhälle. Jag har studerat symtom på stress, stresshantering och hur arbetsrelaterad stress och utbrändhet kan förebyggas inom organisationer. Studien grundas på en fallstudie på Luleå tekniska universitet.

Stress innefattar händelser i miljön, fysiologiska reaktioner och psykosociala processer. Socialt stöd och händelser som upplevs vara positiva kan fungera som stressbuffrar. Sällskapsdjur framkallar positiva känslor och reducerar situationsbundna hot samt stressrelaterade tillstånd, och bidrar till indirekta positiva effekter på hälsa. Sambandet mellan ägarskap av djur och stress undersöktes och 152 individer besvarade frågor om upplevd stress med Perceived Stress Scale och djurägarskap. Att djurägare upplever mindre stress än icke-djurägare bekräftades.

Syftet var att med hjälp av en enkätstudie undersöka om det fanns någon skillnad i upplevd autonomi mellan högskolestudenter som upplevde sig ha lägre grad av stress i vardagslivet och de studenter som upplever sig ha högre grad av stress i vardagslivet. Studiens syfte var även att undersöka om det fanns skillnader i upplevd autonomi mellan män och kvinnor. Resultatet visade att det förekom en huvudeffekt mellan deltagarnas upplevda stress och autonomi. Resultatet visade att det inte fanns någon huvudeffekt av kön och inte någon interaktionseffekt mellan kön och stress..

Stress är ett ämne som är högaktuellt i dagens samhälle. Flera yrkeskategorier befinner sig i riskzonen för utbrändhet, däribland lärare. Syftet med det här arbetet är att tydliggöra och lyfta fram hur lärare och elever upplever skolmiljön med utgångspunkt i begreppet stress. Vet man det kan man sedan arbeta för att det ska bli bättre. Arbetet inleds med en litteraturgenomgång där läsaren får kännedom om vad stress är.

Vårt syfte med arbetet var att ta reda på om barn känner sig stressade men även hur ofta och hur mycket stress de känner av. Vi valde att genom enkäter undersöka detta. Resultatet vi fick visar på att majoriteten av vår undersökningsgrupp känner stress regelbundet. Dock blir de inte speciellt stressade när de väl utsätts för stress. Deras reaktioner på stressen är i huvudsak ilska eller illamående men även andra mindre konsekvenser.

The purpose of this study was to identify reading strategies used by high school students when reading textbooks and school-related material. Any differences in reading strategies between Biology and English were also of importance. A study sample of 62 students from three different high schools in Sweden participated in the study and were asked to fill out a survey questionnaire. Eight students from this sample were also interviewed. The findings of this study show that students use a number of different reading strategies of which metacognitive and sociocultural factors play a crucial part.
