Tanken med undersökningen var att ta reda på hur läxläsningssituationen, för ämnet kemi, i hemmen upplevs av vårdnadshavare och elever i årskurs 7-9 och vilken inställning vårdnadshavare och elever har till läxor i kemi. Eftersom den forskning som är gjord främst är inriktad på de lägre årskurserna är det intressant att titta lite närmre på läxläsningssituationen för de högre årskurserna, då nivån på kemiundervisningen höjts och vårdnadshavare kanske inte har samma möjligheter att hjälpa sina barn med läxan. Studien gjordes med hjälp av enkäter som delades ut till alla vårdnadshavare och elever på en skola. Alla elever som deltog i studien hade samma undervisande lärare och totalt deltog 60 st. hushåll i enkätstudien.

A rhetorical analysis of the educational interactive film ?Riskprofilen?, produced by the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (Swedish: Myndigheten för Samhällsskydd och Beredskap). This essay uses the theories and methods of Procedural Rhetoric, as described by Professor Ian Bogost, and Visual Rhetoric, as described by Professor Brigitte Mral to analyse the interactive and visual component parts of the artefact, and compares them to the intended purposes of the artefact as stated by documents pertaining to its creation, found to be those of educating the public; marketing the agency; and driving traffic to its webpage. The artefact is through analysis found to fulfil the purposes of marketing the Agency and of likely increasing traffic to the website upon which it is hosted. Regarding the primary, educational purpose this analysis finds that the artefact does not teach a user the accident-avoidance strategies it claims to do, but is dependent upon further materials..

It is important that the current urine separating systems are evaluated to allow improvements to be made and consequently increase their future propagation. In order to increase the knowledge about urine separating systems this study was made. It included, among other things, measurements of amounts of urine as well as of the composition of urine collected at Nytorgsgatan 4 in the city of Hallsberg. The study was increased after an inquiry that also included the district of Understenshöjden in the city of Stockholm. In the inquiry, the users were asked questions about odour, cleaning of toilets and occurrence of blockages in the urine water locks etc.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how much of the estimated annual electric energy production from Swedish wind power that actually was produced, as well as the history of this agreement over time. The aim is to also examine if there are properties that have caused some group of wind power plants to produce more or less, compared to their estimated production. Operational data on wind turbines collected by the Swedish Energy Agency was analyzed. A survey was made among owners of wind power plants with a nominal power of at least 2 MW. Two different methods for normal year correction of production data were used and compared.

Denna undersökning har som syfte att ta reda på vad barnen i förskolan anser om att delta i kemiexperiment och vad som händer i barngruppen under experimenten. För att studera dessa frågor har jag gjort observationer med hjälp av videokamera och intervjuer av barnen som deltagit i experimenten. Barnen har visat stort intresse, engagemang, glädje och nyfikenhet vilket har genomsyrat experimenttillfällena. Resultaten i denna undersökning visar att kemiexperiment kan vara ett bra verktyg i förskolan. Barnen interagerar med varandra, associerar till tidigare erfarenheter i livet och ger uttryck för att uppleva, med många av sina sinnen.  .

To achieve the goal of fossil independency in the Swedish vehicle fleet in 2030, it would be important to substantially increase the proportion of electric vehicles, both BEV:s (Battery Electric Vehicles) and PHEV:s (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles). The Swedish Energy Agency has funded numerous research and development projects about electric vehicles in recent years. An important task for the Swedish Energy Agency is to allocate state funds to those projects with the greatest potential to contribute to increased establishment of electric vehicles in society. The purpose of this work is mainly to understand the efforts and measures that can make the market for electric vehicles to grow. The report can contribute to a better understanding of how far the research on electric vehicles has come and what has to be done in the future to promote the establishment of electric vehicles. Another aim for this report is that it should serve as a basis for future decisions by the Swedish Energy Agency on which projects that will be funded with state funds.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how power is distributed in the mathematics classroom and how students achieve agency when ICT (Information and communication technology) is used as a teaching tool. Three learning situations, structured by mathematics, are analysed: in the first situation mathematics is taught in a traditional way, in the second mathematics is taught in interdisciplinary projects, and in the third mathematics is taught using ICT as a pedagogical tool. The theoretical concepts of power and agency are used as analytical tools within a socio-political framework. The concept of power is used to assess the students? ability to influence their learning and degree of inclusion in the three learning situations.

In this final thesis, an existing method for analysis of chlorophenols (CP) in bottom sediments has been updated and adjusted for analysis of chlorophenols in soil. The covalent bonds between the chlorophenols and the soil matrix were broken through basic hydrolysis and the chlorophenols were then separated from the water phase through addition of sulphuric acid followed by ether extraction. The chromatography was improved through extractive acetylation of the chlorophenols.The updated method was then applied on soil samples from a contaminated area (a former sawmill in Hyttsjö, Östergötland, Sweden).The analyse was preformed by GC/MS with respect to 2-MonoCP, 4-MonoCP, 2,4-DiCP, 2,6-DiCP, 2,4,6-TriCP, 2,3,4,6-TetraCP and pentachlorophenol (PCP).Contamination of chlorophenols in nature can be explained by the former use of wood preservative chemicals based on chlorophenols. In the 1960s and the 1970s these chemicals were used in Sweden, but due to their toxicity they were banned by the Swedish government in 1978.In Hyttsjö a pentachlorophenol-based product named Santobrite was used for several years. The concentration of PCP in the soil samples from Hyttsjö varied from 0.2->1.8 ng/mg dry substance.

In the light of some company scandals the Swedish Code of Corporate Governance, the Code, was introduced in the year of 2004 to reinforce confidence in how Swedish listed companies are managed. As many of the other European codes of corporate governance, the Swedish Code is based on the principle of ?comply or explain?. The need for corporate governance regulation arises from the inherent conflict of interest between owners and managers. This conflict is limited in companies controlled by a family in contrast to companies that lack a strong owner.

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.

This work studied the information flow and information handling among different parties. The study focused on how educational materials on national tests from The Swedish National Agency for Education is managed by school principals and teachers and how the information is passed on to students. The data material was based on observations and interviews at two different high schools. Six teachers and their classes and principals participated in the study. The Agency was also interviewed.

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka förskollärares inställning till kemi och fysik i förskolan. Som metod för studien användes kvalitativa intervjuer där förskollärare i olika åldrar, antal verksamma år och kommuner intervjuades. Tidigare genomförd studie visade att förskollärare arbetar i mindre utsträckning eller inte alls med fysik och kemi. Skolverket fastslog att ett förtydligande av läroplansmålen gällande naturvetenskap behövde genomföras. I revideringen av läroplansmålet ersattes begreppet naturvetenskapliga fenomen med begreppen enkla kemiska processer och fysikaliska fenomen.

Background: Research results show that the potential of corporate social responsibility (CSR) has increased. That means there is a growing pressure on Swedish companies to act with responsibility: general public has a positive attitude towards companies that communicate their CSR. Advertising agencies have been criticized by their way to manage the question of social responsibility. One of the characteristics of an advertising agency is their anonymity; even though their products are extremely visible, it is rarely clear who gave rise to an advertising production. If this is put in relation to CSR in general, we find ourselves in a contradictory situation when CSR in many cases is about exposure of the responsible corporation.

This thesis is about sustainability within chemistry, the so-called, green chemistry. With this work  I seek to combine green chemistry with sustainable  development  and find methods for teaching green chemistry in a laboratory environement.  I have designed  and tested two labs with ingredients of green  chemistry and sustainable development in my study. I wanted to determine if my design model  leads to conception for the students. The students have through forms and interviews declared their perspective on the education and their conception. In a laboratory environment the pros of a laboratory way of work should be recognized.
