There is a general conception among those who are involved in the school-sector that there is a relation between resources and results. Better qualified teachers, smaller classes and schools with more finacial funding are regarded as better learning and development conditions for pupils (Gustafsson 2008). In spite of these widespread understanding, educational and economic research studies at the beginning of the 20th century had reached the verdict that resources have no bearing on educational results (Gustafsson 2008). The Swedish board of education (Skolverket) have published several reports, studies and surveys regarding the relation between resources and student outcomes.The purpose of this paper is to analyze the message of six publications from the Swedish board of education around the relationship between resources and student outcomes on the basis of the decentralization of the Swedish school in the 1990´s. The central question at issue is whether the Swedish board of education has been consistent in their message about the relationship between resources and results in the six publications between 1994-2009? I have also attempted to answer the resulting questions of my conclusion.This study is based on a qualitative text analysis.

Examensarbetet har innefattat att utforma ett inredningsförslag till restaurangen Down Town i Eskilstuna. Förslaget har anpassats till den primära målgruppen studenter i åldersgruppen 18 ? 35, på Mälardalens högskola i Eskilstuna. Vår uppdragsgivare har en vision om att restaurangen i framtiden ska bli en naturlig mötesplats, där studenter till förmånliga priser kan äta lunch och umgås. Utifrån en enkätundersökning, intervju med uppdragsgivaren, resultatet av rums analysen, inspirationsresan och litteraturstudier har vi arbetat fram ett helhetskoncept anpassat till målgruppen..

Syftet med studien var att undersöka sjuksköterskors upplevelser av att arbeta med känguruvård inom svensk neonatalvård. Tidigare forskning är sparsamt beskriven och inga studier är publicerade som rör svensk omvårdnad utifrån denna metod. Semi-strukturerade intervjuer med sju sjuksköterskor genomfördes på en neonatalavdelning i södra Sverige. Textmaterialet analyserades, efter att ha skrivits ut ordagrant, enligt en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Analysen resulterade i tre huvudkategorier; att befrämja anknytning, att uppleva inspiration och att uppleva begränsning.

?SAMMANFATTNINGTitel: Corporate Social Responsibility, Hur några svenska storbankers CSR-arbete implementerats på lokal nivå och vilka effekter som orsakats av CSR-arbetet på samma nivå.Kursen: Magisteruppsats i företagsekonomi, FÖA 400, 15 hpFörfattare: Gulafat Guliyeva gga09001@student.mdh.seGeorges Yenga Muhindo gya09001@student.mdh.seSeminariedatum: 2010-09-30Handledare: Esbjörn SegelodNyckelord: CSR, socialt ansvar, företagsetikSyfte: Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka hur några svenska storbankers CSR- arbete implementerats på lokal nivå. Dessutom vill vi även undersöka vilka effekter som orsakats av CSR-arbetet på det lokala planet.Metod: Data har samlats in via intervjuer styrda av en intervjumall med öppna frågor samt en webbaserade enkät (Survey Monkey).Slutsats: Vi kom fram till att koncernövergripande policies inom CSR-området implementeras på lokal nivå i form av riktlinjer, direktiv och värderingar som lokala kontorschefer tillämpar i sina dagliga verksamheter. Vi har märkt att kreditpolitiken och kreditprocessen är en av viktigaste instrument genom vilka CSR-arbetet implementeras.CSR-dokumenten är viktiga men lider likväl av brister i det att de till vissa delar var obegripliga för några av kontorscheferna. Dessutom har det varit omöjligt att bekräfta någon implementering av huvudkontorets CSR-arbete vid några av de lokala bankkontoren.Vad gäller effekterna har vi för några av bankerna kunnat notera ett positivt eller begränsat genomslag i de områden där de verkar.

The aim was to identify if the veterinary nurse is as competent as the veterinaian in placing a nasoesophageal feeding tube. The aim was also to identify the complications with malnutrition and the advantage and disadvantage of the procedure. This essay is based on several interviews with both veterinary nurses and veterinaries. 16 persons were asked 4 short questions in conjunction with an intensive care/emergency and surgery congress in Gothenburg in February 2013. In addition 4 major hospitals that provided intensive care were asked to answer 5 more detailed questions, one answer from a veterinary and one answer from a veterinary nurse was requested.

The study aims to examine how the people who have received special needs education during their schooling have experienced it.Since I wanted to take advantage of people's experiences of special needs education, I chose to conduct qualitative research interviews. Five people in the ages of 21-26 years old participated in the study.A summary of the work says that special needs education creates mixed feelings, feelings of joy and alienation. The positive as described in the work is that the special education teaching has created a classroom that is aligned along the pupil's needs and circumstances. All informants have expressed that their negative experiences is about them having to leave the common classroom.Keywords: exclusion, inclusion, special needs education, student needs.

Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att undersöka studenters upplevelser av interpersonella konflikter mellan student och handledare som inträffat under den verksamhetsförlagda utbildningen på Socionomprogrammet vid Göteborgs Universitet. Studien har utgått ifrån följande frågeställningar: - Hur beskriver studenterna att interpersonella konflikter förekommer? - Vilka strategier upplevde studenterna var framgångsrika vid interpersonella konflikter? - Vilka konsekvenser upplevde studenterna att interpersonella konflikter gav? Studien baseras på kvalitativ metod och tio semistrukturerade intervjuer med studenter som genomfört kursen Handledd studiepraktik SQ1451 på socionomprogrammet vid Göteborgs Universitet. Materialet har analyserats med tematisk analysmetod och tolkats med stöd av begreppet erkännande och med teorin om maktbaser. Huvudresultaten var att samtliga studenter kunde redogöra för konfliktsituationer, men som aldrig ledde till öppna konflikter i huvudsak på grund av att handledarna aldrig blev varse att en konfliktsituation ens förelåg eller att handledarna var lyhörda så att det istället blev lärorika diskussioner.

We have made a qualitative study where we have chosen to interview a number of respondents consisting of ophthalmologists, eye nurses and patients. The purpose of the study was to examine employees' perceptions of patient-related status and treatment and quality, and meaningful participation in the work. The conducted interviews, we then sat in relation to how patients experienced the visit to the eye clinic and their perception of accessibility and hospitality. The result is then compared against the policy of the Title use of internally and we have also tried to explain what is happening with the help of various theorists. Theorist that we made use of is Maslow, Foucault, Deming (TQM) and Herzberg.

Introduktion. Under sjuksköterskeutbildningen fokuseras bland annat på sjuksköterskors omvårdande funktion och omvårdnadsansvar. I praktiken varierar det hur patientcentrerat sjuksköterskor arbetar och vilket ansvar som faktiskt tas för att individanpassa vården. Primary nursing är en organiseringsmodell och ett arbetssätt som bygger på att individanpassa vården vilket är en av sjuksköterskors viktigaste funktion för en holistisk omvårdnad.Syfte. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att belysa hur sjuksköterskor uppfattar primary nursing utifrån begreppen självständighet, ansvar, auktoritet, beslutanderätt och kontinuitet.Bakgrund.

A qualitative study about collaboration between librarians and nurses in the supplying of consumer health information (CHI) at The Hospital Library of The Mölndal Hospital in Mölndalnear Gothenburg, Sweden.The staff were interviewed about how their work is affected by the collaboration between thetwo occupational groups. The purpose of the study is to find out if there exists a strugglebetween the groups about the influence on and the control over the handling of this kind ofinformation. Despite some problems with the permission to do as many interviews as needed,the study shows some positive effects with the collaboration. The study gives a short backgroundto the development of CHI services in USA, the UK, Denmark and Sweden. Fourfurther CHI service centres in Sweden are shortly presented and one member of each staffwas interviewed by telephone..

The level of increased central government that we have experienced during the last decades in school, for the purpose of increasing equality and to adapt the Swedish school to a certain international standard, clearly shows that increased control scarcely leads to improvement.The aim of this paper is to examine whether teachers believe that national tests contribute to equivalent assessment and increased goal attainment. Furthermore the teachers? attitude towards and work with national tests is described. The paper is written from a school improvement perspective, where good examples from current research on what creates increased quality in school meaning increased goal attainment and equivalent assessment are related to research on school effectiveness and increased testing in schools. The study builds upon a quantitative survey among teachers in upper primary - and secondary school in a medium-sized municipality in Sweden.The result shows that the teachers have a somewhat more positive than negative attitude towards national tests, as a whole.

Genom en empirisk studie undersöker denna uppsats på vilka sätt och i vilken utsträcking man i en svensk högstadieskola efterföljer läroplanen vad gäller elevers rättigheter till inflytande över undervisningen. Undersökningen baseras på intervjuer med både elever och deras lärare. Resultaten av intervjuerna jämförs med varandra, och mot läroplanerna Lgr11 och Lpo94. Eleverna upplever sina möjligheter till inflytande som begränsade, medan lärarna ger en lite mer positiv bild av deras samspel i den här frågan. Det framkommer även att man arbetar mycket med att öka elevinflytandet på skolan, men att man har en lång väg att vandra innan man lever upp till läroplanernas paragrafer..
