Sweden?s District councils and Country councils are in itself to a large extent responsible for the state financed welfare. Because of this, Sweden has a contribution- and adjustment system. The reason for this system is to create equal chance, for all District councils and Country councils, to be able to give the citizens service independently of their income and non-influential structural differences. The adjustment is built upon the so-called standard cost method, which contains four different parts.

This paper is intending to examine the intercultural aspects of two teaching aids used in Swedish schools today. How does the material take the students prerequisite in consideration? Is every student included in the material in order with the standpoint and laws in the Swedish school system? And if they are not, who is the outsider in this occasion? With intercultural pedagogy lies the idea that everyone is unique and that teachers has an opportunity to develop and make student grow mentally. Intercultural endeavor is to learn to accept our differences and see them as assets instead. The theory?s used in this paper in mostly the postcolonial theory with its dividing between "us" and "the others"..

Purpose: The purpose of this work is to investigate teachers' professional attitude to homework as a method. The study will also provide answers to the purpose for which the homeworks are used in teaching and if the individual circumstances and needs are met by this method.Method: Qualitative research was conducted through interviews with four teachers from three different schools. In addition, published surveys were used in support of reasoning.Results: Neither the curriculum or the syllabus mentions homework. There are no directives for how much time should be dispensed with and the extent of a homework should be. In teacher training literature the homework is not discussed.

SammanfattningTitel: "Att inkassera sin utbildning"Seminariedatum: 13 januari, 2011Institution: Akademin för hållbar samhälls- och teknikutveckling, HST,Mälardalens HögskolaKurs: FÖA300, Kandidatuppsats i företagsekonomi, 15hpFörfattare: Alexander Bergström och Emilie SvenssonHandledare: Ulla PetterssonExaminator: Cecilia LindhNyckelord: CSN, banklån, återbetalning, student, preferenser.Frågeställning:? Vilken är den mest ekonomiska lösningen för att finansiera studierna;banklån, studiemedel, extrajobb eller en kombination av dessa?? Hur mycket kan andra bidrag och eventuella stipendier hjälpa enstudent?Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka vilka finansieringsalternativen student har under studietiden, samt att se vilket alternativ som är det mest ekonomiska - sett utifrån vilken ekonomisk situation studenten befinner sig i efter examen.Metod: Kvantitativ skrivbordsundersökning, som är främst baserad på uppgifteroch statistik från Centrala Studiestödsnämnden, Statistiska Centralbyrån samt olika banker. Vi har även funnit stöd för vår undersökning i olika vetenskapliga artiklar och böcker.Slutsats: Vår slutsats är att självklart kommer arbete alltid att vara det mestekonomiska alternativet för en student att finansiera sina studier. Men då möjligheter till extrajobb vid sidan av heltidsstudier inte alltid finns, fann vi även andra alternativ. Bortsett från arbete, är studiemedlet från CSN i kombination med ett privatlån, som betalas med rak amortering, det bästa alternativet.

Young councillors are currently under-represented in Sweden's municipalities. Young councillors are also stepping down in greater numbers than older members. This paper explores the reasons why young councillors choose to resign from their mission, so to identify possible remedies to the problematic trend of underrepresentation of younger people in local authorities in Sweden.This qualitative essay intends, through interviewing politically-active young people who has left their assignment, to study the reasons for resignations from elected posts. To see what could be the reason I have looked at previous studies and theories about opting out but also tried to remain open to identifying new and emerging trends previously undetected in existing surveys.The results showed that the political assignment proved to be too time-consuming, with young people choosing to spend their time on career and leisure. Those who resign from political life often express criticism towards the Municipal Council; they consider it tedious and many complain of having little influence.

Titel: Redovisningskonsultens förändrade yrkesroll - orsakad av den avskaffade revisionsplikten Ämne: Företagsekonomi/Redovisning Nivå: Kandidatuppsats i företagsekonomi 15 hp Författare: Mimi Eriksson, men03015@student.mdh.seJohanna Johansson, jjn06004@student.mdh.seDiego Velasquez, dvz06001@student.mdh.se Datum: 2009-05-29 Handledare: Ann-Sofi Paul Problemformulering: Vilka möjliga konsekvenser kan ett eventuellt avskaffande av revisionsplikten medföra för redovisningskonsulternas yrkesroll? Syfte: Uppsatsen ämnar ta reda på vilka förändringar som kan uppkomma vid ett eventuellt avskaffande av revisionsplikten för redovisningskonsulterna. Metod: Studien har genomförts med en kvalitativ ansats och ett deskriptivt/deduktivt angreppssätt. Uppsatsens primärdata består av intervjuer gjorda med redovisningskonsulter, revisorer samt SRF och FAR SRS. Slutsats: Förändringarna kommer förmodligen till en början att gå långsamt fram för redovisningskonsulterna. Det som kan komma att ses är att redovisningskonsulten kan även få en mer affärsrådgivande roll. Konkurrensen kan komma att öka mellan revisorer och redovisningskonsulter då möjliga "jävsituationer" kan upphöra vilket leder till att revisorerna kan komma att öka utbudet av kombiuppdrag.

With examples from a single classroom situation, several educational moments show what goes on between the teacher and the student. The teacher?s responsibility in the learning process is, with a gesture frozen in the air of the moment, to lead and follow the student in her tentative efforts at seeking knowledge. Initially, it is an attempt to shed light upon the "not yet seen" with a certainty that the student herself possesses the capacity and the aptitude to reach greater insight and clarity in her understanding. The Validation/Feil Method presented in this instructional situation illustrates how best to communicate with elderly people suffering from Alzheimer?s dementia.

A qualitative study of high school student teachers' ideas about libraries and school libraries.Interviews have been conducted with future teachers about the library's role in their education,their views on library functions in high school and whether they as teachers will use theschool library. The results show that the students have had some instruction concerninghow to use the library as students, but very little as regards their future teaching. The professorsof teacher education focus on the fact that the library should be used in high schoolteaching, not how to use it. Despite this, the student teachers look very positively upon libraries.Libraries play an important part in their education and they are all sure that they asteachers will use the school library, which includes interacting with the librarian. To them, themost important school library function is to allow pupils to seek information..

 The purpose with my study was primarily to illuminate the students' expectations on gained knowledge during their studies at the upper secondary school Hotel- and Restaurant program, and to what extent these expectations were fulfilled. Secondarily, the purpose was to compare the students' expected and perceived knowledge with the program goals set by the Swedish government and the knowledge requirements expressed in a pilot study made by the Education council of the Hotel and restaurant business (UHR, 2007).I chose a quantative approach and I used an anonymous group enquiry among students at the Hotel- and Restaurant program at two different upper secondary schools to carry out my study.Tendencies in the result suggested that the students at the Hotel- and Restaurant program expected high knowledge level within the competence areas of Guest reception and communication, Cleaning and hygiene, Cooking of cold and hot dishes and Waiting. The expectations were not big within the areas Computers and Internet and Business economics and management.Fulfillment of expected knowledge tended to be high within the areas where the expectations were big. It might therefore be a good investment for schools to work on the student expectations to increase motivation within the low expectation areas.A confrontation of the tendencies in the result with the program goals and the competence requirements expressed in the UHR study, suggested that the upper secondary Hotel- and Restaurant education might focus some more the areas of Guest reception and communication, Beverages and Organization of banquets. Business economics and management should be given much more weight..

The first aim of this study is to examine what the differences are between the Classic directive (directive 2004/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 on the coordination of procedures for the award of public works contracts, public supply contracts and public service contracts) and the Revised Classic directive (directive 2014/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the council of 26 February 2014 on public procurement and repealing Directive 2004/18/EC) when it comes to social considerations in public procurement. The second aim is to examine if the revision of the directive has solved the prior existing problems regarding social considerations in public procurement. In this paper a traditional European legal method is used. The examinations show a number of things, including the Revised Classic directive involving codification of case law, references to other sources of law and some clarified rules as well as new provisions. The regulations regarding reserved contracts, technical specifications, and selection criterion are satisfied in the Revised Classic directive.

This essay is about power in the classroom. It is about the power dimension of the student-teacher relationships that arise in that space. The overall aim has been to investigate which categories are fruitful in a power analysis of these relationships. My aim has therefore been to develop power categories and to use them to identify and to categorise cases of power interaction that take place between those particular actors in that particular setting.In order to gather material for my study I have both read literature that approaches the study of the student-teacher relationships from a power perspective and done a series of observations in a high school.My theoretical frame comprises a concept of power and a series of power categories. These categories include strength, authority, inducement, coercion, violence, resistance as well as to possess power, to have power, to exert power, the scope of power and the base of power.
