Syftet med denna studie var att identifiera hur förskollärarna arbetar med ämnet kemi i förskolan. För att kunna granska detta har kvalitativa intervjuer använts som undersökningsmetod. Undersökningen grundar sig i fem förskollärares berättelser av hur de arbetar med detta ämne. Resultatet visar, efter genomförd analys av intervjuerna, att förskolläraren strävar efter att kemiaktiviteterna bör ske i samspel med andra aktörer i förskolan. Det konkreta arbetet utförs med konkreta verktyg och samtal kring fenomen som förekommer i vardagen.

Undersökningens syfte är att studera hur ett område inom kursen kemi A på gymnasiet framställs i två olika typer av kemiläroböcker. Fokus är på hur innehållet presenteras, kursplanuppfyllelse samt hur anknytningar till vardagen och samhället utanför skolan görs. En läroboksanalys har utförts och innehållet i texten har systematiserats enligt på förhand givna kategorier. För analysen har området som berör substansmängd och mol valts. Analysen kompletteras med intervjuer av lärare.

This study investigates whether auditors affect the tendency to report correct taxes for small companies. Since November 2010 the smallest companies in Sweden are no longer obliged by law to have an appointed auditor to perform the former yearly audit. The auditor shall during the audit, amongst other tasks, investigate whether the audited companies follow Swedish law, and report them if they do not. The presence of the auditor might influence the actions of companies to act according to law, and reduce errors in the reporting. Errors regarding tax reporting will result in a revised tax decision if detected by The Swedish Tax Agency.

This master thesis was written for Arla Foods and the result of the thesisserves to gain Arla Foods in its work with chemical hazardous and to bringnew academic results. The thesis aims to create a common methodology forrisk analysis with the handling of chemicals.The theories displayed in this thesis focuses on different risk managementmethods in order to build up a framework out of which a risk management toolwas created. The main primary data source consists of interviews held withemployees within Arla Foods at different facilities.The risk management tool can be found in appendix K.Available recommendations for how to evaluate risks with chemicals can befound at appropriate government agencies. These recommendations aredrawn up to suite small and medium enterprises and therefore are to narrowto make a good foundation for analysing chemical risks at large companies.With the legislation and government demands in mind, a tool has beencreated to fit a large company?s needs when managing chemical risks.

The purpose of this paper is to highlight the issue of preferential rights in relation to the increased practice of hiring temporary staff. The object is illuminated from a diversity perspective by seeing what a circumvention of the preferential rights may have consequences for vulnerable groups on the Swedish labor market. The question of preferential rights to reinstatement is controlled in  The Employment Protection Act. The preferential right is for the protection of workers made redundant due to redundancy. The use of agency workers has increased significantly in the Swedish labor market since the industry's legalization in 1993. This has created some problems in terms of preferential rights. To a circumvention of the law, shall exist requires that the measures constitute circumvention is justified, measures should have been sought to circumvent the law and been unfair in view of the particular case.

Background: Theoretical, it?s been questioned why dividends exists in companies based upon the fact that there is a separation between ownership and control. According to the agency theoretical perception, dividends is used as a manner to unify the interest of this separation, which in turn lower the agency cost, and increase the efficiency of companies.Purpose: The aim of this master thesis is to scrutinize and analyse the association between Swedish firms? owner structure and owner types and their inclination to dividend.Method: We attack the problem with a hypothetical-deductive research method by using the existence of a universal theory, the agency theory. From our theoretical framework we propose a set of hypotheses.

Syftet med studien var att genom en fallstudie få en känsla för vilka personer på skolan jag besökt involverar i arbetet med att ta fram, följa upp och se över verksamhetens likabehandlingsplan. Stämmer det som verksamhetens likabehandlingsplan lovar in med det arbete som egentligen sker i skolan? Ser man till att använda sig av den viktiga resursen som eleverna och deras föräldrar är? Anser föräldrar och elever att deras kunskaper kring arbetet är tillräckligt?.

Undersökningen syftar till att granska och jämföra elevkunskaper i de naturvetenskapliga ämnena biologi, fysik och kemi i årskurserna 5 och 9.  Kunskapstestet som använts i undersökningen har baserats på uppnåendemålen för årskurs 5 enligt gällande styrdokument, samt kunskapsmål upprättade av No nätverket i den för undersökningen aktuella kommunen.Jämförelser görs också mellan elever med bakgrund i samma skolor, men som nu går i olika årskurser, samt mellan kön. Ytterligare ett syfte är att undersöka om skolstorlek har någon betydelse för elevers resultat.Undersökningen visar att båda årskurserna har bäst testresultat i biologi. Likaså framkommer det att pojkarna i undersökningen inte har utvecklats lika mycket resultatmässigt som flickorna mellan årskurserna. I undersökningen framkom det också att skolstorlek inte har någon betydelse för elevernas resultat..

This study examines how temporary agency workers experience the working climate in client firms, i.e. how their psychological climate is affected. The study has a qualitative approach based on semi-structured interviews with temporary agency workers. The purpose of the study is to contribute with knowledge about the triangular relationship between the temporary worker, the temporary employment agency and the client firm. Another purpose is to describe how the temporary workers experience the working climate and how this experience is influenced by a number of circumstances. The research question this study aims to answer is How do temporary agency workers experience the working climate in client organisations? And What factors influence this experience? The conclusion of this study shows that the volun- tariness of the psychological contract positively influence the psychological climate, and also whether the temporary workers? expectations correspond to those of the client firm or not.

The recent development in several countries? legislation and best practice recommendations in relation to corporate governance in general and audit committees in particular have affected Swedish listed corporations in the form of the Swedish Corporate Governance Code and the coming EU-directive. This paper aims to discover what factors affected Swedish listed companies to form audit committees when this was entirely voluntary. We collected data from the annual reports of 121 Swedish listed companies and formed eleven hypotheses as to what factors we believed affected the voluntary formation of audit committees based on Agency Theory, economies of scale and circumstances specific to the Swedish environment. We then analyzed the data through the use of a multivariate logistic regression model.

The use of chainsaws in both private forestry and commercial companies is highly associated with personal injuries and accidents with deadly outcome. As a result to this, a driver?s license for chainsaws was presented in the year 2005. To get the license you have to attend a course given by the Swedish Forest Agency or one of several private educators. This study is an evaluation of one course given by the Swedish Forest Agency in Uppsala.

Syftet med detta examensarbete var att analysera en del av det undervisningsmaterial som producerades i samband med Kemins År 2011 och empiriskt undersöka gymnasielärares syn på materialets användbarhet i gymnasieskolans kemiundervisning. Detta gjordes med hjälp av innehållsanalys, respektive en webbaserad enkät och uppföljande intervjuer. Min analys visar att materialet från Kemins År 2011 stämmer väl överens med syftet med kemiämnet enligt ämnesplanen i kemi för gymnasieskolan, och till stora delar med det centrala innehållet i kurserna Kemi 1 och Kemi 2. Det som kunde utvecklats mer var områdena analytisk kemi samt reaktionshastighet och kemisk jämvikt. Materialet stämmer även väl överens med elevers intressen, framförallt det som handlar om människokroppen. Kemikalendern relaterar till elevers intressen om aktuell forskning, medan de populärvetenskapliga artiklarna relaterar till elevers intressen om rymden och kemiska risker. En majoritet av gymnasielärarna i studien är positiva till att använda materialet från Kemins År 2011 i kemiundervisningen.

The Swedish Transport Agency has for a long time collected data on a monthly basis for different variables that are used to make predictions, short projections as well as longer projections. They have used SAS for producing statistical models in air transport. The model with the largest value of coefficient of determination is the method that has been used for a long time. The Swedish Transport Agency felt it was time for an evaluation of their models and methods of how projections is estimated, they would also explore the possibilities to use different, completely new models for forecasting air travel. This Bachelor thesis examines how the Holt-Winters method does compare with SARIMA, error terms such as RMSE, MAPE, R2, AIC and BIC  will be compared between the methods. The results which have been produced showing that there may be a risk that the Holt-Winters models adepts a bit too well in a few variables in which Holt-Winters method has been adapted.
