Forming teacher teams is currently the standard way of organizing teachers in Swedish Compulsory Schools. This is the result of a process that started in the 1970s.Traditionally the culture of teaching has been one of isolation. Once the door to the classroom is shut, what happens behind the door is up to the teacher to decide. Over the past thirty years a lot of time has been dedicated to making fundamental changes in the way teachers interact with their colleagues. Today the idea of teachers forming teams is generally accepted but still the core of a Swedish teacher?s job is that of a lone worker.

Den industrialiserade världen har de senaste årtiondena genomgått förändringar vilket har bidragit till att en ny tidsperiod uppkommit. Tidsperioden benämns enligt forskaren Arnett (2007) som Emerging Adulthood och har den svenska översättningen vuxenblivande. Perioden sträcker sig mellan åren 18-25. Stress är en känsla av press som för stunden inte är hanterbar och stressnivån har under de senaste åren ökat markant hos gymnasieelever. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka om vuxenblivande samt stress skiljer hos elever som läser ett yrkesförberedande respektive ett högskoleförberedande program.

Stress är idag ett välanvänt begrepp som existerar i många personers vardag och kan ilångvariga tillstånd ge negativa efterverkningar. Forskning kring området stress ochätbeteende har visat på spridda resultat men majoriteten visar dock på liten till stor förändringav ätbeteendet. Studien syftade till att undersöka skillnader i ätbeteende, vid låg respektivehög upplevd stressnivå hos män (24-65 år). Genom ett bekvämlighetsurval skickades enwebbenkät bestående av Perceived Stress Scale samt frågor som belyser ätbeteende ut till engrupp män (n=119). Svarsfrekvensen uppgick till 61 % (n=72).

For research purposes Saab has developed a generic mathematical model denoted VEGAS of an aircraft with a configuration similar to JAS 39 Gripen. Today parts of Gripen backup control system are used also for VEGAS making the system subject to both corporate and defense secrecy. The main objective of this master thesis is to design, verify and implement public pitch axis flight control system for VEGAS. Furthermore, simplifications regarding the design process is to be examined. Design of pitch axis flight control system for the entire flight envelope has been carried out.

The objective of this study was to get a better understanding of how the cultivation methods influence the vitality in Prunus avium.

Stressrelaterade symptom har blivit vanligare bland ungdomar i Sverige och klassrumsenkäter har visat att fler och fler barn och ungdomar lider av psykiska och psykosomatiska problem. Ungdomar upplever framförallt stress i samband med skolan. Många unga upplever en stor osäkerhet inför framtiden. Syftet med studien var att kartlägga vilka områden kvinnor respektive män i årskurs tre i gymnasiet upplever som stressframkallande samt undersöka om de under det senaste året gjort förändringar i sitt aktivitetsmönster. Ett frågeformulär som bestod av det australiensiska instrumentet Adolescent Stress Questionnaire [ASQ] samt tre egenkonstruerade frågor angående elevernas aktivitetsutförande under det senaste året besvarades av 40 elever i två naturvetenskapliga klasser på en gymnasieskola i sydöstra Sverige.

Syftet med examensarbetet var att undersöka orsakerna till varför studie- och yrkesvägledare i grundskolan upplever, eller inte upplever, stress, samt om detta påverkar utförandet av arbetsuppgifterna. Urvalet av informanter gjordes med avsikt att de skulle representera skolor med olika sociala miljöer i Tåstad. Undersökningen har utförts genom en litteraturstudie och en kvalitativ intervjuundersökning med mestadels öppna frågor så att informanterna gavs möjlighet att beskriva tankar, känslor och upplevelser. Undersökningen visar att upplevelsen av stress är individuell. Flertalet av studie- och yrkesvägledarna, som ingått i studien, upplever stress periodvis, ändock uppfattas det allmänt sett inte som något större problem.

Eighty-eight workers participated in the study. Forty-seven of them were office-workers and forty-one were warehouse-workers.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine and analyze the characteristics of the management control system private equity firms use to manage their portfolio companies. The thesis takes a share holder value perspective, and it is assumed that the goal of the management control system is to increase the shareholder value in the portfolio company. In a qualitative study two private equity firms and two portfolio companies, one for each private equity firm, were studied in detail. In total, nine in debt interviews were completed. The results from this study suggest that the characteristics of the control system are dependent on the surrounding context; the focus on shareholder value and the specific characteristics of the private equity industry shape the characteristics of the management control system.

There has been a dramatic increase in long-term sick leave in Sweden, which largely depends on occupational stress. Occupational stress applies particularly in relationship-intensive jobs, which means that the individual works with a lot of contact or responsibility for other people. Research has shown that attachment is relevant to the choice of coping style and perception of stress in the workplace. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationships between attachment patterns, coping styles and occupational stress in relationship-intensive jobs and to extend previous studies by adding the variables age, work experience and education in relation to coping styles and occupational stress. The study was in quantitative form in which 186 participants from various relationship-intensive jobs across Sweden participated.
