Syftet med examensarbetet har varit att undersöka hur pedagoger och barn på en förskola använder TAKK som stöd i kommunikationen samt pedagogernas syn på metoden. Undersökningen genomfördes med observationer av både pedagoger och barnen och genom intervjuer med pedagogerna. Resultatet visar att barnen använder TAKK som stöd i kommunikationen främst med vuxna och i mindre utsträckning med varandra. Pedagogernas användning av TAKK varierar och deras syn på metoden är i huvudsak positiv. Den avslutande diskussionsdelen lyfter fram pedagoger och barns användning av TAKK och betydelsen av TAKK som stöd i kommunikationen.

Background: Low Price-Earnings ratio, low Book-to market ratio and low stock prices can give the impression that a stock is ?cheap?. Is it through systematic use of these portfolio strategies possible to beat the market index ? in other words does financial illusions exist?

Limitations: The efficiency is tested solely through the chosen portfolio strategies: low Price-Earnings ratio, low Book-to-market ratio and low stock prices.

This study examines whether the ownership structure of Swedish firms contributes to explain the variations in executive pay. A regression analysis was performed on 102 companies listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange. The analysis suggests a negative relationship between ownership structure and executive pay after taking company profitability and size into account. The result is in line with previous studies and the agency theory. This indicates that large shareholders have a stronger position in Swedish companies or that large shareholders monitor the management to a larger extent, rather than providing incentives.

Detta arbete behandlar frågan om hur hot och risker som förknippas med elektronisk handel identifieras. Utgångspunkten har varit SBA-metoden (Sårbarhetsmetoden), vilken är en dokumenterad, strukturerad metod som används för att säkerställa en fullgod säkerhetsnivå på ett kommande eller redan befintligt system.Metoden har agerat "mall" för hur säkerhetsarbetet bör bedrivas i ett företag. Med detta menas att eftersom metoden är framtagen just för ändamålet att borga för god säkerhet så kan den användas som vägledare för säkerhetsarbetet. Utifrån denna "mall" har därefter jämförelser mellan metodens resultat och resultatet från intervjuerna gjorts i syfte att se om det fanns några skillnader, samt vilka konsekvenser dessa skillnader skulle kunna få.Det resultat som slagit igenom är framförallt att företagen då det installerade sitt system inte använde sig av någon (dokumenterad) metod. Detta behöver inte betyda att säkerheten är bristfällig i företagen, men chansen för att någon aspekt missats ökar avsevärt eftersom det aldrig går att frånse den mänskliga faktorn.Företagen bör därför använda sig av någon slags metod för att på så vis minimera chansen för att någon aspekt av säkerhetsarbetet missas..

This master thesis is looking into the stories on the internet forum www.resedagboken.se. The stories of Swedish teenaged exchange students in the U.S. are studied and the main purpose is to see both what they are writing about and the reason for why they are spending their time writing down their experiences in a public forum.Even though most of the teenagers here are writing with a specific audience in mind, all the stories are free to anyone to take part of and this causes a difficult position for the teenagers who often seem to forget the public point of view when they are telling about their personal lives.The study is divided into two parts. The first one looks into the content of the stories and the other one focuses on the storytellers and their reasons for writing. The teenagers are writing both a lot about their everyday lives in their new environment, but also a lot of things to keep in touch with what their friends and family in Sweden are doing.

If a building is heated by a heat pump, it is of high importance that the heat pump has a high coefficient of performance. An exhaust air heat pump extracts heat from the building?s exhaust air. The air has a relatively high and constant temperature all year around, leading to a high seasonal coefficient of performance. This thesis examines whether it is profitable to complement an exhaust ventilation system with an exhaust air heat pump in an apartment block that already has geothermal heat pump, district heating, oil- or biofuel heated system.

This master thesis concerns whether Swedish non-financial listed firms act in accordance with the optimal capital structure theory and/or pecking order theory. The examined period is 1998-2004 and we discover that Swedish companies neither follow optimal capital structure theory nor pecking order theory. From our results we conclude that there exists no single point of the capital structure which is optimal. Rather it seems as if the optimal point lies in-between an interval from 0 to the industry average, where firms tend to be indifferent to their debt-ratios. Our results show that Swedish companies prefer internal financing followed by equity and as last choice debt issuance..
