The thesis aims to increase our understanding about parents reasoning about the elementary school choice by studying which factors parents perceive as important during the decision making process and also by giving meaning to Pierre Bourdieu?s concept of capital through the parents perspective. The empirical material comes from seven BNIM-interviews made with parents, which has been analyzed according to the thematic field analysis.The results show that the parents are not especially concerned about making an active school choice. Stability, closeness, friends, rumors, development and adaptability to the reality are the factors that are perceived as the most important in the decision making process. The school choice has a limited meaning as an investment in social capital, from Bourdieu?s perspective.

Detta arbete handlar om regionala röstningsmönster i riksdagsvalet 2010 hos riksdagspartierna Socialdemokraterna och Moderaterna. Dessa mönster analyseras fram genom ett antal kartor och diagram som är framställda från statistik från Statistiska Centralbyrån, SCB. Genom att välja ut fyra socioekonomiska faktorer; genomsnittsinkomst, eftergymnasial utbildning, industriarbetare samt befolkningstäthet, kunde en generell bild på kommunnivå skapas över vilka röstningsmönster som fanns vid riksdagsvalet 2010. Genom att kombinera dessa faktorer syntes mönster bland Sveriges 290 kommuner, var i landet de två partierna var starka respektive svaga. På detta lades de mönster som uppenbarades i de socioekonomiska faktorerna, varpå slutsatser kunde dras utifrån kombinationen av dem..

In a suburb of Stockholm, local polititians descide to close down an elemantary school. Because of its shortage of pupils, the polititians claim they can not guarantee the quality of the school and the public requreiments of equal education. The school-employed teachers and parents of the pupils are all unhapy with the descision, but first and foremost dissatisfaied with how the descision was communicated.Using qualitative methods; interviews and content analisys, this thesis aimes to determine how the involved parties, in regards to the termination of the school, view the concepts of freedom of choice, equal education and quality. Interviews have been made with decision-makers, employees of the school, the school leader, one civil servant and parents; all with the goal of understanding how the involved parties view the events leading to the termination of the school and what causes they see. Furthermore, the thesis analyses if and why the involved parties experience the decision as legitimate..

Konkurrensen mellan kommunerna i Sverige har ökat på grund av den ekonomiska globaliseringen, den informationsteknologiska utvecklingen och till följd av den nationella ekonomiska omstruktureringen. Idag är det inte längre inom industrisamhället som den mesta tillväxt genereras utan kunskapssamhället har fått en allt större betydelse. Luleå kommun är en kommun som antagit en vision för att få till stånd en utveckling och tillväxt. Syftet med uppsatsen är att analysera policyprocessen som ledde fram till att Vision 2010 antogs i Luleå kommun samt diskutera ifall Vision 2010 utifrån trippel helix-teorin kan vara ett medel för att skapa den önskvärda tillväxten? För att kunna besvara syftet i uppsatsen har jag ställt följande frågor: ? Vad bygger visionen på för resonemang? ? Hur har visionen tagits fram? ? Vilka intressenter står bakom framtagandet av visionen? Studien består av två delar: utvecklandet av en teoretisk modell för att kunna analysera och förstå processen samt en analys av policyprocessen kring Vision 2010 i Luleå kommun.

Today there are many system development projects that break both budget and time plan. Often this depends on defects in the information systems that could have been prevented. The cost of test can in some cases be as high as 50 % of the projects total cost and it's at the same time an important part of development. Test as such has moved its focus from the software it self and its faults to a wider perspective on whole infrastructures of information systems where assure a good quality is important. Sogeti in the Netherlands have developed a test method called TMap (Test Management approach) that can be used for structured testing of information systems.

Syfte och frågeställningarSyftet i studien var tvådelat, dels avsågs att analysera vad orienteringslitteraturen skriver om träning, dels att jämföra hur svenska elitorienterare tränade på 1980-talet och år 2010.Frågeställningar till källanalysen: Vad skriver orienteringslitteraturen om träningsupplägg, mental träning och mentala faktorer som påverkar prestationen samt tränarrollen?Frågeställningar kring hur elitorienterare tränade på 1980-talet jämfört med år 2010: Vilka skillnader och likheter i träningsupplägg bland kvinnor och män finns det mellan 1980-talet och år 2010? Har tränarrollen förändrats? Varifrån får elitorienterare sin kunskap om hur de ska lägga upp sin träning?MetodDe metoder som användes i studien var källanalys och enkätundersökning. De källor som analyserats är fem böcker som handlar om orienteringsträning. Respondenterna till enkäten var de som var landslagsaktiva under 1980-talet samt de som var det år 2010. Antalet respondenter var 13 från 1980-talet och 14 från år 2010.ResultatDe viktigaste resultaten i studien var att det finns både skillnader och likheter i vad som ingår i en elitorienterares träningsupplägg på 1980-talet jämfört med år 2010.

Växthuseffektens konsekvenser är ett världsomspännande hot. Transportsektorn och särskilt privatvägtrafik är en stor bidragare till de svenska koldioxidutsläppen. Framtida fokus är mot att elektrifieravägtrafiken. Samtidigt tyngs konsumenter av skatter och avgifter som, vid införande av elbilar,snedvrider skattekostnaderna för den önskvärda reduktionen i emissioner. Genom att aggregeraenergiskatten, CO2 skatten samt priserna på utsläppsrätter och Elcertifikat samt att faktorisera inbetydelsen av kraftkällor analyserar den här uppsatsen om det är kostnadsminimerande att införaelbilar år 2010 eller år 2020 för att reducera CO2 utsläppen.

It could be argued that theories about gender are something that should be a part of every upper secondary school teachers agenda (knowledge base), because the Swedish curriculum specifically says that schools must encourage and work for equal rights between men and women.The students are supposed tobe encouraged to develop their interest, without judgment, about what femininity and masculinity is.This essay is aiming to find out how gender is used in the teacher program at Södertörns Högskola. The main focus of the essay is to see the possible differences between the curriculum of 2010 and 2013. Using quantitative and qualitative content analysis this essay is aiming to examine how gender words are used in the syllabus, study manuals and literature lists for Educational science A (2010) and Educational science I (2013). In what way are gendered terms, like boy, girl heterosexuality and man, part of the text material? Who is represented in the material? And are there any differences between 2010 and 2013?The results show that there is a difference.

The study is made in Nacka, a suburb of the capital of Sweden, Stockholm, and focuses on ?the parental school choice" that takes place when children start in first grade at the age of six. New differences in the number of pupils attending various municipal schools have appeared after reforms in the early 1990s giving parents free choice of elementary school for their children. Some schools are located in areas where most children have a middle class background, while others are placed in less attractive surroundings where the parents have a lower educational status, and are more often immigrants. Parents living in the latter kind of surroundings can now send their children to schools further off, but located in more attractive areas. This leads to some schools get an increasing number of pupils and others gets a decreasing.
