Companies learn through their employees. In this paper I make research into how knowledge transfer and learning occur at Metso Paper Karlstad AB, which is a partly project based organization.The result is that there are many factors that affect the knowledge transfer in a company. Knowledge transfer occurs mainly between individuals within the company, but also between departments and other actors outside the company. In the gaps between these actors, there is a risk that knowledge is not transferred, which is an obstacle to learning. A great deal of the knowledge transfer and the learning is carried out through individual?s own drive and motivation.

The purpose with my essay was to investigate how genre pedagogy works in a practical manor? I wanted to reach a deeper understanding for the genre pedagogy and to find out if it fits all students. To investigate this issue I have asked following questions:What is genre pedagogy?How do teachers work with different genres in the genre pedagogy?For whom is the genre pedagogy?Is the critic right that Frøydis Hertzberg is proposing about the genre pedagogy formalism? I have been using qualitative methods, to gather my empirical data. I have been using two unstructured interviews and one unsystematically observation, in a third grade class in a school south of Stockholm, with 30% second language students.

Sammanfattningen är skriven på lättläst svenska. Denna uppsats handlar om hur svenska myndigheters webbplatser fungerar för personer med annat förstaspråk än svenska. Denna målgrupp kallar jag för ?andraspråksläsare?. Jag undersöker vilka förenklingar som fungerar för andraspråksläsare och om andraspråksläsare väljer lättlästa texter.

Syftet med studien har varit att introducera den kognitiva receptionsteorin om textvärldar (Text World Theory) samt undersöka utifrån vilka textvärldar barnen på en förskola i Mellansverige interagerar med upplästa texter.Studien har genomförts på avancerad nivå inom Högskolan Dalarnas lärarprogram där huvudområdet varit pedagogiskt arbete. Detta är en kvalitativ studie i vilken två observationer samt två samtal med barngrupp med åldersintervallen tre till sex år har dokumenterats och därefter analyserats i relation till ovan nämnda teori.Av analyser framkommer att öppna frågor i större utsträckning leder till ett byggande av föreställningsvärldar och även en mer avancerad dialog med den diskurs författaren utgår från, än då givna ingångar är utgångspunkten. Studien visar även på att barnen redan tidigt har en avancerad förmåga till textrörlighet samt att de är multimodala i sitt tolkande av texter beroende på vilka textvärldar de relaterar till..

Behavioral problems are one of the leading reasons for re-homing and euthanasia in dogs. It is estimated that between 40 ? 87 % of dogs suffer from some sort of behavioural problem, making it an important animal welfare issue. Separation anxiety is one of the most common behavior problems encountered in dogs after problems related to aggression. This thesis is aimed at examining the etiology behind separation anxiety related behavior in dogs based on existing literature as well as comparing and evaluating the efficiency on suggested treatment protocols.

In this thesis swedish students? worldsviews, in relation to the theory of evolution, were studied. Thirty students from two different schools and cities took part in the survey and four students were later chosen for interviews.

The study also showed that for some religious students, accepting the theory of evolution was not difficult thus showing that religious students can both believe in God and in the theory of evolution..

Klientbeteendens relation till behandlingsutfallet av psykoterapi på internet är ett underbeforskat område av klinisk vikt. Studien undersöker vilka skriftliga klientbeteenden i beteendeaktiveringsbehandling mot depression på internet som korrelerar med symtomförändring och slutförda moduler. Totalt 29 randomiserade deltagare med mild till måttlig depression ingick från forskningsprojektet Actua. Innehållsanalys med 8 deduktiva och två induktiva beteendekategorier genomfördes på samtliga mejl och modulsvar skickade från deltagare till internetterapeut. Signifikanta korrelationer återfanns i förhållande till symtomförändring för Observerar positiva konsekvenser (r=.49) och Allians (r=42).

Mitt syfte är att analysera hur ett urval läroböcker behandlar genus i avsnitten om judendomen jämfört med avsnitten om kristendomen, i både text och bild. De värderingar och normer som framkommer ska dessutom sättas i förhållande till Lpf 94. Metoden jag använder mig av för att analysera texterna och bilderna är Norman Faircloughs kritiska diskursanalys. Till Faircloughs modell har jag även tillfogat två av Raewyn Connells fyra dimensioner av genus för att på ett enkelt sätt kunna se om genus exkluderas i text och bild. Jeanette Sky bok Genus och religion spelar en central roll i uppsatsen.

In this text I will work on three situations from my daily work as a pedagogue at preschool. The situations are about how pedagogues at preschool relate to children in difficult situations, e.g. when they pee in their pants or long for their pacifier. Those are situations which occur frequently at preschool, but they are still rarely coming up for discussions. The problem in the situations is difficult to describe which makes the essay a suitable form for me to explore and discuss it.

The smartphone is part of our daily life. Smartphone users type on a screen area that is no larger than the palm of a hand. To help with this endeavor the software known as AutoCorrect was created. However little is known about how AutoCorrect actually change the language and if AutoCorrect users at all perceive the impact it has. This study aims to find out if our test subjects are aware of AutoCorrect?s presence and how much it influences them.

The aim of the study is to show how children and adults are described in three picture books, examining how children and adults are portrayed in text-and-picture narrative and how this has changed over time. We have analysed how the characters in the books are presented and how the representation of children and adults has changed in our own times.The material for the study consists of three picture books from different periods, with the focus on how children and adults are described as the common point of departure. The analysed picture books are: Tomtebobarnen (Beskow 1919), Aja baja, Alfons Åberg! (Bergström 1972) and Snäll (Dahle 2008).We have arrived at the conclusion that a text-and-picture narrative is in very large measure a reflection of the outlook on children, childhood and child rearing at the time when the book was published. The result shows that the greatest change that has happened is that parents? and adults? dominance in the books has declined over the years, and that children have been given a more prominent role.

Hur en text beskrivandes en karaktärs fysionomik och egenskaper kan ligga till grund vid karaktärsdesignen för en 3D-modellerad figur och hur denna remediering från text till 3D-grafik ser ut är vad som undersökts i detta arbete. Arbetet utgår från Bolter och Grusins begrepp remediering för att beskriva arbetsgången och teorier inom personperception för skapandet av karaktären. Utifrån Stoker´s Dracula har koncept i textform tagits fram som legat till grund för skapandet av en parafras på texten i form av en 3D-modellerad karaktär. Det fysionomiskt beskrivande citatet och karaktären har sedan ställs mot varandra i en kvantitativ undersökning i form av en enkät där respondenterna fått jämföra och utvärdera hur denna remediering har fungerat. Undersökningen visade att egenskaper hos karaktären överfördes väl och att drag i karaktärsdesignen var något svårare att gestalta.

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.

This essay, called Motivation and reading comprehension, is a study of the correlation between the motivation to read and the reading comprehension of Swedish students in their final year of school before university level, meaning that they are eighteen or nineteen years old, sometimes more.The relation between the identity of the individual and the learning process has been a matter of scientific interest for some time, and this essay works in that tradition by investigating the connection between how pupils regard reading and how well developed their ability to decode text is.The reading comprehension is measured through a test that consists of a text from the Swedish epic by Vilhelm Moberg, Invandrarna, where the reader at certain intervals throughout the text is asked to mark the correct word from a choice of three. This test has been used and evaluated extensively by Per Fröjd, who has found that the results are reliable and useful.To measure the motivation to read I?ve constructed a survey to be answered before taking the reading test. It focuses on three different parts of reading motivation that are noted as the most important ones by Ivar Bråten. These are the feeling of joy and interest for reading, the goal to acquire knowledge of a specific subject, and the expectations that you have on yourself as a reader.Results show a weak or non-existent correlation between the two factors for the whole of the subjects, but once those who have a first language other than Swedish are removed the correlation becomes significant.
