More and more preschools are choosing to reduce the sugar consumption. The reason is, inter alia, the increase of weight in the community, but there is also research showing that sugar is harmful to children. The discussions on sugar and children are also a hot media topic.I have chosen to use a qualitative method, interviews, to gather material for the essay. I have interviewed a teacher and a cook in three different preschools, in different municipalities. I have also looked at their various nutrition policies to see how the guidelines for their work on diet and health look like.

Under de senaste decennierna har ett flertal stora förändringar skett som förändrat förutsättningarna för handel mellan länder. För att skapa tillväxt i dagens globala ekonomi behövs internationalisering av företag. Historiskt sett har det framförallt varit stora multinationella firmor som burit ansvaret för internationell handel, men internationaliseringen av småföretag har ökat markant på senare år och ådragit sig intresse från forskningen. Internationalisering av småföretag kan innebära fördelar för ett lands ekonomi, såsom för företaget självt. Entreprenörens roll är avgörande för ett företags internationella strategi och för förståelsen av företagets internationella agerande.

BAKGRUND: I bakgrunden har tidigare undersökningar och litteratur tagits upp som berör vikten av en varierad matematikundervisning i relation till elevers lärande. Utöver tidigare undersökningar görs även kopplingar till vår läroplan för det obligatoriska skolväsendet, förskoleklassen och fritidshemmet, Lpo-94. Undersökningen utgår ifrån det socio-kulturella perspektivet.SYFTE: Syftet med undersökningen är att ta del av verksamma lärares erfarenheter gällande en varierad matematikundervisning. Därigenom hoppas jag också att kunna vidga min egen kompetens inom området.3METOD: Undersökningen har ett kvalitativt förhållningssätt där tillväga-gångssättet är en Self report, det vill säga en intervju som skrivs ner av deltagarna.RESULTAT: Respondenternas svar visade på tydliga skäl till varför det är viktigt att variera undervisningen. I sina redogörelser beskrev även respond-enterna flera olika hjälpmedel och aktiviteter som de använder sig av för att hjälpa eleverna i deras lärande..

The purpose of this thesis is to see how film can be used to invigorate children?s language development. There is not much research regarding this, which is why we have chosen to study this particular topic. The study consists of questionnaires, an interview and a pilot study. We have chosen to proceed from a socio-cultural perspective, language perspective and learning perspective, thus we are interested in the teacher?s views and thoughts about film as a learning tool complemented by what children can gain through film.

The aim of this report was to investigate the economy of passive houses. The work was focused on economy in total and on the economy of different components such as windows, insulation, heat exchanger and the air tightness of the climate shell. No attention was paid on the comfort factor or to the impacts on the environment.Two houses, aspiring to be passive were chosen; A big one and a small one. Hence, comparisons considering the size of the building have been possible to do as well.The comparisons were made by calculating ?break even? between two concepts; passive and BBR- concept.

Arbetslöshet är ett omfattande ämne med fokus på psykisk hälsa på grund av försämrad ekonomi. Psykisk ohälsa är ett svårdefinierat begrepp som bland annat innefattar sömnsvårigheter, ängslan och ångest. Under perioden 2004 till 2005 rapporterade arbetslösa individer i Sverige psykisk ohälsa i större utsträckning än arbetande individer. Att vara arbetslös och förälder till barn i förskoleåldern kan vara påfrestande. Studier som undersökt förskolans betydelse för arbetslösa föräldrar har påvisat positiva upplevelser av förskolan under självupplevd psykisk ohälsa.Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka arbetslösa småbarnsföräldrars psykiska hälsa och deras upplevelser av hur öppna förskolan i Västerås påverkar den.

The aim of this Bachelor?s thesis is to obtain understanding and knowledge about how literary scholars collaborate regarding information. Seven scholars have been studied in the aim to find out social and cultural elements which create particular prerequisites for their practice, with focus on information sharing. The method used has consisted of semi-structured interviews. The informants have been studied from a socio cultural and domain analysis starting point, which means that they are studied in the light of being members in their practice.

This comparative study explores Swedish and Danish teachers? perspectives on students with intellectual disabilities and their education. The research focuses on the 1960s, a pivotal decade marked by paradigm shifts from medical to socio-constructivist views on intellectual disabilities. Through qualitative text analysis of articles from the Nordic Journal of Special Education (Nordisk tidskrift f?r specialpedagogik), this study examines how teachers described these students, the prevailing norms versus perceived deviations, and their proposed teaching strategies.

Families with limited financial resources risk social exclusion in today?s consumption-based society, where status and identity are tied to items like clothing, gifts and activities. Limited financial resources can therefore often lead to social isolation because consumption is central to social participation, something that can rarely be prioritized in poor families. In preschool, unclear policies on extra costs can negatively affect families. The purpose of the study was to investigate how socioeconomically vulnerable families experience and are affected by the preschool and its requirements, as well as how preschool teachers work to reduce the economic gap among families in the preschool context.

Under ht08 och vt09 har vi gjort ett examensarbete där vi i gruppen utvecklat ett mekaniskt styrsystem för sjukhussängar. Det nya styrsystem ska underlätta det dagliga arbetet för personalen på sjukhusen, då det idag är svårt att kontrollera sängen när man är ensam och knuffar. Men med RaaLie fastmonterad på sängen kan man utföra arbetet själv, och det är mycket lättare att ta sig runt skarpa svängar och trånga passage..

SAMMANFATTNINGÅtta blivande organister har fått ge sina bilder av hur de uppfattar den yrkesroll som de håller på att växa in i, hur de uppfattar musikens roll i kyrkan och vad de har för tankar om framtiden. Undersökningen har gjorts med kvalitativ metod. Hos alla informanterna verkar tron finnas som en självklar komponent i deras syn på musiken i kyrkan och sin uppgift som kyrkomusiker. Om jag skulle ge en sammanfattning av informanternas svar på frågan om vad yrkesrollen kärna är, så är det att få ge vidare musiken och genom musiken peka på att det ?det finns något större här i tillvaron?.

At this point seamen have a lot of tasks of administrative character, beyond the traditional tasks aboard a ship. Due to the new conventions that are formed by IMO, more requirements are added which often lead to time consuming administrative tasks and documentation that should be spent on activities which are contributing to the ships safety. The issue has been observed by IMO that has through BIMCO done a study with the aim to identify and reduce administrative burdens at sea.The primary aim of this study is to find out if safety officers aboard Swedish ferries consider that SOLAS Chapter III, 8.3 och 19.5 regulations are administrative burdens, restricted to muster lists and documentation of training aboard the ship.The secondary questions to the study are if it is possible to remove, combine or change the documents and how much time can be saved by doing this. The question about timesaving could not be answered, because the values were scattered and could not be used for further investigation. The observed values were accumulated by a survey and the result indicated that safety officers did not experience the two regulations as administrative burdens.
