In this study we have aimed to explore how participation and self-determination is implemented in the daily life of disabled people who receive support through LSS. The questions addressed concern possibilities/obstacles for the participation and selfdetermination of disabled people who live in group housings, and how the terms participation and self-determination are realized. Nine interviews have taken place with staff members and directors of different group housings. We have found that the interviewees believe that the nature of a person?s disability can be a barrier to the individual?s self-determination and participation in his or her everyday life.

During sleep the majority of the body?s production of anabolic hormones is produced and sleep is a general anabolic state of being. It has been to our recognition that a powernap is 4-6 times more effective when it comes to sleep intensity than the last 1-2 hours of a traditional eight hour sleep. With this in mind, and that elite athletes worldwide often sleeps in between their training sessions. This study has tried to prove a hypothesis which comes from the assumption that you can recover and perform better during times with intensive periods with better distribution of your sleep.We have in this study let three test subjects take part of a six week long program with two different training periods for legs.

My essay aims to explore, "What image is conveyed by the stone mason's life and work on Korpåsberget". In my essay I have been working with respondent interviews to examine the purpose. I've been trying to get interviewees to talk freely, but have also had a number of indicative questions for support. In order to process and understand the interviews, I also have a part in the essay aiming to provide background information to the stone industry in Bohuslän, an area along the westcoast in Sweden, and foremost in the area of Bovallstrand.The text discusses the stone industry's development in the area, its development and the time until the stone industry at large was closed. As for the stone industry in Bovallstrand I have chosen to focus on the largest quarry in society, namely the Korpåsberget. The background text also briefly covers stonecutter?s lives and work.

Denna studie inriktar sig mot läsförståelseundervisning och vikten av att förstå läst text. Studiens syfte är att undersöka lärarnas uppfattning om hur undervisning i läsförståelse bedrivs i grundskolan respektive grundsärskolan. Genom att använda den deskriptiva aspekten på intervjuer försöker vi påvisa både fakta och mening utifrån respondenternas svar. Vi har använt oss av @ografi som undersökningsmetod. Detta innebär att insamling av rådata sker genom intervjuer via mail. Svenska elevers läsförståelse har försämrats det senast decenniet vilket framkommer i den internationella undersökningen PISA 2009.

När allt fler produkter blir bärbara, t ex handdatorer och mobiltelefoner, innebär det även att dessa har blivit mindre. Ytan där text och liknande presenteras blir då även den mer begränsad. Läsning kan ses som en komplex kognitiv process med många ingående delar, bland annat tolkning, förståelse och ögats fysiska funktion. Dessa ingående processer begränsas när ytan texten presenteras på är mycket liten. För att motverka detta har alternativa sätt att presentera text på tagits fram, så kallad dynamisk textpresentation.

The aim of the study was to examine the reading ability of adultswith intellectual and/or communicative disabilities. The group adults withintellectual and/or communicative disabilities consisted of 66 individuals.One control group consisting of 36 children aged 7 to 12 years and onereference group consisting of 14 adults were used. Participants were given anumber of language and reading related tests. Adults with intellectual and/orcommunicative disabilities had significantly lower results than the adultreference group regarding all tests and significantly lower results than thechild control group regarding phonological processing. There was nodifference between adults with intellectual and/or communicative disabilitiesand the child comparison group regarding word decoding and readingcomprehension.

Under min utbildning till lärare i svenska som andraspråk kom jag i kontaktmed en undersökning som hävdade att flerspråkiga elevers texter iblandupplevs som tunna därför att de beskrivande partierna är få, och delvisinnehållsligt annorlunda jämfört med de beskrivande partierna i enspråkigaelevers texter.I scheman över utvecklingsgången i ett andraspråk framstår mängdenadjektiv i elevernas språk som en parameter med vilken man kan avläsa hurlångt eleverna kommit i sin språkutveckling. Jag ville därför undersöka omdet är bristen på adjektiv som gör att de flerspråkiga eleverna har färre ochmer glest spridda beskrivande partier i sina texter, vilket i så fall skullekunnat avhjälpas med adekvat undervisning om adjektivens betydelse fören text.Resultatet av min undersökning visar på, att det för de flerspråkigaelevernas del inte tycks vara så att adjektiven saknas i ordförrådet. Det ärvidare tveksamt om vi enbart med ledning av antalet adjektiv i en text kanavgöra hur tunn texten är.Min undersökning visar dock på ganska stora skillnader i andelenadjektiv i förhållande till antalet löpord i texten, jämfört med elevtexterskrivna på 1970- talet, vilket kan tyda på att det antingen har hänt någotmed det svenska skriftspråket eller, att det har hänt något med de svenskagymnasisterna..

Träning och hälsa har under senare år fått ett allt starkare fotfäste på sociala medier, inte minst på sociala plattformar såsom Facebook och Instagram. Det blir allt vanligare att man efter, till exempel, en löparrunda eller ett gympass väljer att dela med sig av sin träningserfarenhet på dessa plattformar i form av bilder, text och data från olika träningsapplikationer.Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka förhållandet mellan sändare och mottagare av träningsrelaterade statusuppdateringar på Facebook, i synnerhet när det gäller de båda parternas olika tolkningar av statusuppdateringen. För att undersöka detta genomfördes dels en enkätundersökning samt en kvalitativ gruppstudie. Gruppstudien gick ut på att låta en mindre grupp använda det sociala nätverket Facebook som forum för att posta träningsrelaterade inlägg samt reflektera över de andra deltagarnas inlägg.Resultaten visar att det finns en tydlig skillnad mellan hur träningsrelaterade statusuppdateringar mottas i det allmänna flödet gentemot i en sluten grupp på Facebook. Vilken typ av data träningsrelaterade inlägg innehåller visade sig också ha en betydande roll för hur de mottas.

Every day we make numerous decisions. Some are better than others. Intuitive decisions usually results in less good decisions when we do not reason about our choices. Research has been interested about the process that is behind how we make good decisions. Decisions we face every day, such as when we shop, determined using various mental shortcuts that we use unconsciously.

By means of text creation I approach, reflect upon and try a number of aspects of my own professional existence as a joker in forum theatre and as a forum play pedagogue.This essay is structured like the days of a week and it specifically relates three problematic situations: first, a Monday containing a case of discrimination during the performance, then, a glimpse from a Wednesday when I failed to use the time with enough consideration of our common work and, finally, a Thursday when I was professionally questioned.These three situations are described thoroughly and then they are tried by me. This is carried out partly by reasoning, partly by using for example sociological, pedagogical and above all philosophical texts in order to widen my understanding of my existence as joker and forum play pedagogue. When writing this essay I really realized the importance of taking the reactions of the spec-tators into consideration. I have had the opportunity to develop thoughts about the way in which reflection is created and thoughts about different layers of reflection. I have also pondered over the way in which I distinguish between forum play and therapy as a forum play pedagogue.

It is now increasingly common for organisations to work actively with HR issues. Furthermore, it is a constant top priority for organisations to remain profitable. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether so called soft HR values, as manager?s communication skills, has an actual impact on hard values in terms of costs for the organisation. Leadership is largely characterised by emotional communication, which together with personnel costs were the main focus of the research.

The aim of this study is to analyze the discussion on the publication of twelve caricatures of the prophet Muhammad, in two Swedish newspapers ? Dagens Nyheter and Sydsvenska Dagbladet. The caricatures were originally published in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten, in September 2005. Even though the violent protests and attacks against Danish interests gained major media attention in Sweden few ? if any ? major Swedish newspapers published the caricatures.Using Fairclough?s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), a theory and a method that critically examines the relationship between text, the discourse practice in which text is produced and consumed, and the wider social practice, this study examines why Swedish newspapers chose not to publish any caricatures.The study concludes that the relationship between orders of discourse continuously affect, and is also affected by, Swedish media content.
