1995 påbörjades en omfattande inventering av samtliga byggnader i Visby innerstad på uppdrag av länsmuseet på Gotland. Det material som samlades in placerades i en Accessdatabas för att kunna användas av museet, länsstyrelsen på Gotland och stadsarkitektkontoret i Visby. Emellertid hade man vid inventeringens start inte någon klar struktur för att skapa enhetlighet i materialet och därför blev resultatet en svåranvändbar databas. Tillgängligheten till databasen begränsades också eftersom man var tvungen att göra en kopia till var och en som behövde möjlighet att använda den. Möjligheten att uppdatera informationen i databasen var alltså i stort sett obefintlig, eftersom man då skulle vara tvungen att skicka ut nya versioner till alla användare.

The artistic subjects disappeared from the obligatory curriculum of the Swedish secondary school in 2011. The purpose of this work is to analyze to which extent the new curriculum Lgy11 is based on scientific results when it comes to the role the aesthetics were given. This paper analyzes the documents that preceded the reform, such as Government Reports and Interpellation Debates, for a start. It continues with an analysis of an interdisciplinary group of researchers, whose scientific work include research of impacts of art and art education in ordinary education and learning in a more holistic perspective. Finally an analysis of the curriculum itself is made.

Syftet med denna rapport var att undersöka om det bedrivs undervisning kringmedia inom årskurserna 4 till 6. Undersökningen som jag bedrivet är en kvalitativundersökning kring ämnet.

Intresset för den svenska företagsamheten har ökat markant under 1990- talet. Det finns ett betydande samhällsintresse för de mindre företagens kapitalförsörjning då nystartade företag ofta har problem med att få tillgång till finansiella resurser. Kreativa företag kan på olika sätt få tillgång till nödvändiga resurser utan att synligt belasta balansräkningen vilket inom forskningen givits benämningen finansiell bootstrapping. Finansiell bootstrapping innebär att företagare kan få tillgång till nödvändiga resurser genom att använda metoder som minimerar och/eller helt eliminerar behovet av externa finansiella medel. Det finns fem kategorier av bootstrappers, nämligen ägarfinansierade, minimerande, fördröjande, relationsorienterade samt bidragsorienterade bootstrappers.

This examination work aims to describe how a supply chain around the biggest pellets factory in Sweden will be configured in a logistic perspective. The plant and associated infrastructure are in the building phase and will have production start on the 2 November 2009. The key question that is set in this examination work is to recognize the logistic processes which are essential for an effective flow of materials and information that link the source of supply with the ultimate customer. In order to get the answer, a flowcharting of these supply chain processes is required for understanding the pipeline activities such as input and storage of raw material, the production system and the output of pellets to the customers. The basis for this supply chain map is a model-based representation of these logistic processes and activities that are involved around the pellets factory.

This report is about helping Q-Med AB in Uppsala to start its implementation of uncertainty of measurements analyses in their manufacturing department. Prior to this, the company relied solely on personal experience or did not take this uncertainty into consideration at all during different kind of measurements, which means that some of the processes that the company previously believed were within specified acceptance limits, will actually fail when considering these sources of uncertainties.Q-Med AB needed some sort of instruction to help the company, in a systematic way, to investigate different types of disorders that are affecting all kinds of measurements. This instruction includes a short summary about measurements and uncertainty of measurements in general and a detailed procedure about how these uncertainties are going to be handled in their daily work.The goal was to be able to use this instruction to systematically locate, eliminate (when possible) and analyze all kinds of disorders when measuring. Q-Med is using a lot of different types of instruments when measuring different types of quantities, including temperature, mass, pressure and density. This instruction will hereafter be used for every instrument, regardless of quantity and type of instrument.The instruction is tested through 4 different kinds of measurements, for mass, temperature and humidity.

Sweden has had statutory audit, which also includes a management audit, for all companies since 1988. A legislative proposal now suggests that the statutory audit shall be abolished for all small and medium sized companies starting on July 1, 2010. The aim for this master?s thesis is therefore to study how the service of auditing will be affected by the legislative proposal. To answer the research question the authors have taken on a qualitative approach and fifteen interviews with representatives for different Swedish auditing firms have been completed.

This study aims to examine how social workers, in the Swedish social services, perceive and interpret LVU § 3 from a gender perspective. In total eight social workers participated in the study, attending interviews based on a vignette. From a gender perspective we wanted to found out how the social workers define "other socially destructive behaviour" and understand their thoughts about this subject. Moreover, we aimed to see if social workers perceive any differences between boys and girls behaviour. Based on several theories, two gender theories and concepts we have analysed our result from the interviews.

Inskolning av flerspråkiga barn på förskolans småbarnsavdelning handlar om inskolning i förskola.

Frågeställningarna som var grunden för min undersökning är: Hur ser ut inskolning på en småbarnsavdelning? Vad anser intervjuade pedagoger är viktigt att beakta vid inskolningen? Vilka skillnader finns, enligt pedagoger, mellan att inskola barn med svenskt modersmål och barn med annat modersmål än svenska? Uppsatsen belyser pedagogers tankar kring inskolningen.

Smoking is a health problem with a negative impact on virtually all body organs. Smoking can cause, for example, lung cancer, cancers in other organs and cardiovascular disease. There is also a social aspect of smoking. If individuals have many smokers in their environment, the risk to start smoking is increased, and for those who already smoke the chance of quitting will be less. Many municipalities today face smoke-free working to reduce smoking and passive smoking adverse effects.

Social work is a social phenomenon, existing in most societies, that has given rise to a multitude of special organizations and professions. For that reason social work is dealing with a complex identity. The purpose of this study is to illustrate how social workers and the scientific discourse interpret the concept of social work. In addition to that the study intends to show similarities and differencies. The research process containes two studies, one based on qualitative interviews with five social workers and the other consisting a surway of academic litterature.

This thesis investigates the 200 year old phenomena of savings banks and if they increase the economic growth (GDP) in the local region they act in. That is being done by testing three hypotheses; the savings banks increase the attractiveness of the region they act in; the savings banks increase the entrepreneurship in the region they act in; and the savings banks increase the economic growth in region they act in. This quantitative cross-sectional study with data from the year 2010, finds that the savings banks increase the attractiveness of the local region, most likely through the efforts and financials they put into different local projects. A positive result is also found for increased entrepreneurship in the regions that have a local savings bank. The result is explained by the savings banks relationship lending, which increase the likeliness for a company to get the credit they need to start and develop.

The aimof this study is to contribute furthermore to understand the complexity of theprocess of learning to read and write in an inclusive environment. It focus on the syllableinstead of the phoneme as a unit in this process which is not the most common way ofdoing it. The report is based on a qualitative analysis of this task in pre-school and gradeone at a primary school in a small municipality.In the result, I have found, that the very structured working process and the diagnosticapproach helps the teachers to understand on what level pupils are at. The pupils whostart working this way in pre-school, feel safe knowing what is expecting from them andthey also learn from each other. All pupils in grade one have, before w 45 in autumnterm, very good letter knowledge and have learnt how to read words with two syllableswith a consonant-wovel-structure.

The main purpose of this study has been to explore and determine how the journalistic work was used by internet users to start and keep a discussion on the internet going.We started in the aftermath of a local arson in a town of Sweden, where a discussion on the internet forum Flashback and the local newspapers commentary fields was raised.We have used these discussions to study what part the journalistic work play in these events. To do that we used a critical discourse analysis and a rhetoric analysis to investigate how these discussions use news articles to make their point. We divided the comments into four different categories, which are comments about understandings of the event, comments that talked about the matters of fact, criticism pointed at the newspaper and comments that identify the offenders.The result of the analysis shows that both forums use journalistic work as facts in their discussions. Both also use earlier articles that were written before the arson, to make their point in the discussion..

Syftet med denna pilotstudie var att skapa hypoteser om vilken påverkan en internetbaserad återhämtningsfokuserad stressintervention kan ha på beteendemönster och generellt hälsotillstånd. 22 vuxna svenskar rekryterades initialt till studien. 15 individer valde att fullfölja hela interventionsprogrammet. Mätningar med internetbaserade frågeformulär genomfördes innan interventionens start och efter interventionens slut. De primära ändpunkterna för mätningarna utgjordes av beteendeförändringar (frekvens av återhämtningsbeteenden) och kliniska effekter (upplevelser av stress och återhämtning).
