The purpose of this work is to explore how to work with early reading and writing and find out what really comes first of the two. The work also involves the best known literacy learning methods and deals with methods to work around reading and writing. I have read previous research on the subject and watched a movie from our AV-central on children?s early language development. It includes an interview with two professors of education, Mats Myrberg and Mats Ekholm where they talk about the pros and cons of early learning literacy. My research is based on literary sources and interviews with educators who work with reading and writing in the early years. The results showed that even if a teacher tries to work with early writing skills we still remain in the traditional school, beginning with learning how to read.

Patienter upplever ofta att den information de får är felaktig. Felaktig på så sätt att det är för lite, för mycket, ingen alls, given vid fel tidpunkt, för komplicerad och given på ett fackspråk med många krångliga ord som patienten inte förstår. Syftet med den här litteraturstudien var att belysa vilket informationsbehov patienter med cancer kan ha. Studien baserades på 20 vetenskapliga artiklar och resultatet visar att de flesta patienter med cancer vill ha all tillgänglig information om såväl diagnos som behandling och även veta vilka valmöjligheter som finns. Det finns dock vissa som endast vill ha begränsad information varför det är viktigt att utvärdera varje patients informationsbehov.

Mezzanine is a collective term for hybrid instruments on the leverage finance market, offered as an alternative to traditional debt. As a hybrid, mezzanine combines elements of debt and equity financing. Mezzanine appears, in its most common shape, as subordinated to the senior debt, but ranks higher than pure equity. Reminiscent of security interests, the main importance of subordination is upon the default of the borrower. Therefore, the aim of the thesis is partly to investigate the legal prerequisites for a solid subordination of mezzanine financing, and partly to explain the consequences of subordination in a default.

Forskning har visat att vår primära tolkning samt graden av self-efficacy påverkar hur vi hanterar nya situationer och relaterar även till vårt psykiska välmående. Genom vår primära tolkning utvärderar vi en ny situation som hotfull, utmanade eller som en förlust.  I föreliggande studie var syftet att undersöka hur studenter från det beteendevetenskapliga programmet samt socionomprogrammet ser på sina möjligheter att få arbete efter avslutade studier kopplat till self-efficacy och deras primära tolkning av situationen som framtida arbetssökande. En enkätstudie genomfördes och det var 122 deltagare varav 57 socionomer. Resultatet visade att det inte fanns någon skillnad mellan programmen i den primära tolkningen som var relaterat till studenternas grad av self-efficacy.
