Detta arbete presenterar en systemisk-funktionell analys av elevtexter skrivna av elever i årskurs nio. Det är totalt 24 elevtexter från ett ersättningsprov inom det nationella provet 2012 som analyseras. Tolv av de undersökta texterna är skrivna av pojkar och tolv är skrivna av flickor. Uppgiften eleverna fått är att skriva en novell utifrån en bild.Syftet med detta arbete är att se eventuella skillnader i sättet att skriva mellan pojkar och flickor samt utreda vilka skillnaderna är. För att kunna se detta har elevtexterna analyserats med systemisk-funktionell textanalys för att se processer, deltagare och omständigheter.

In the world we live in today the environmental issues has become increasingly important, and we have begun to realize that we can not continue to use fossil fuels at the rate we do. When it comes to generating electricity we are constantly trying to come up with cleaner and more efficient solutions. The fuel celltechnology is one such alternative and has been around for over 100 years. Yet, it is not until now that the world has started to notice this great technology. The fuel cell has been developed in several areas and can today be used for handheld electronics, vehicles and small settlements.

The construction industry depends on functioning logistics; if the logistics isn?tworking the construction site will risk to be interrupted due to material shortages orproblems with deliveries. Despite this, the construction industry is battling logisticproblems daily. This problem is very time consuming and costly for the companies.These theses are written for Peab Bostadsproduktion and investigate if it is possibleto focus on logistics earlier in the building planning process to reduce the problemsthat occur. Peab has partnerships with three companies that could be helpful for themin the work of reducing logistic problems.

An increased demand for processed goods on the property market has contributed toinvestments within the Swedish sawmill industry.

Background:Life-cycle costing (LCC) is an investment calculation that takes intoaccount operating costs throughout the investee lifecycle. LCC calculations are mainly usedto evaluate investments that have no revenue side. Attempts to apply the LCC calculations forbuilding-related investments have occurred since the 1980s. Despite the advantages ofusing LCC calculations, use has not passed through in full. The main obstacles have beenidentified as a lack of relevant input data, and insufficient experience of workingwith LCC calculations.

This thesis examines underpricing and the long run performance of IPO firms on the Swedish equity market during 1994-2010. We further investigate whether any correlation exist between underpricing and post-IPO performance during 36 months. We use a sample of 80 IPO firms. To examine the aftermarket performance we compare total return of each firm with a matching industry index. In order to strengthen our analysis, we run a second test, comparing actual return for each firm with expected return, adjusted for firm specific risk.

The authors have during the spring semester 2011 studied the subject destination development during a political crisis, focusing on Tunisia. At the beginning of 2011 the country was in an uncertain political situation when the revolution of the Tunisian people occurred. This created massive demonstrations on the streets, and resulted in the current government's resignation. More effects of the revolution has been seen in a drastic decline of inbound tourists in the country, which in turn affected the country's population and economy. From this point on Tunisia as a destination needs to recover to once again become attractive to tourists.

Syftet med det här arbetet är att undersöka vilka läsinlärningsmetoder pedagoger använder för att lära barn att läsa i förskoleklasser och hur metoderna stöder sig på olika läsinlärningsteorier. Bakgrund har främst belysts utifrån kulturhistoriska och kognitiva teorier. Jag inriktadee mig på att ta reda på varför pedagoger valt att använda sig av Kiwimetoden och Bornholmsmodellen och hur dessa metoder fungerar i praktiken. När jag undersökte metoderna var jag också intresserad av att ta reda på om meningsfullhet och lustfylldhet bejakades i lärandet. Dessutom ville jag även se om utrymme gavs åt alla elever att medverka och ta del av undervisningen.

Denna uppsats är en studie som visar vilken relation svensklärare har till ?det vidgade textbegreppet? och hur de förhåller sig till filmen som en del av ?det vidgade textbegreppet?. ?Det vidgade textbegreppet? är en relativt ny syn på vad ordet text innebär, där bland annat film, musik, drama och det talade språket även benämns som texter. Uppsatsen inleds därför med att redogöra för vad skolans styrdokument säger om ett vidgat textbegrepp för att sedan följas upp med utdrag ur svensklärarföreningens årsskrift där nya förhållningssätt till texter presenteras.

Benchmarking is an established method of working which is often used in order to develop the quality of the organization. However, almost 70% of the organizations with benchmarking fail due to the lack of planning and structuring of the benchmarking exercise. Maintenance sections in the paper and pulp industry are one of those who have decided to conduct benchmarking. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to gain knowledge of how the maintenance sections in the paper and pulp industry deliberately structure and plan to use benchmarking as a driving force for quality development in the maintenance sections.The study is a hermeneutic case study. Telephone interviews and document analysis have been used as data acquisition methods.The results show that there is a lack of both planning and structuring in the benchmarking process, and lack of management commitment for quality improvements within industrial maintenance.

Syftet med föreliggande uppsats har varit att undersöka den religiösa filmens påverkan på människans, och då främst ungdomars, uppfattning av religion. Studien har inriktat sig främst på två prominenta religiösa filmer, The Passion of the Christ och Kristi Sista Frestelse, men många andra religiösa filmer har tagits med i diskussionen för att göra en mer heltäckande bild möjlig. Mer specifikt har syftet varit att undersöka vilka budskap dessa två ovan nämnda religiösa filmer har och vill förmedla, vilka metoder som man använder för att göra detta och till sista huruvida ungdomarna i den empiriska undersökningen verkligen upplever att filmerna påverkat dem i någon utsträckning eller inte. Denna fråga har besvarats genom såväl undersökning av tidigare forskning, en litteraturstudie, men även genom en särskild empirisk undersökning i form av en kvalitativ enkätundersökning baserad på en visning av filmen The Passion of the Christ för undersökningsgruppen. Slutledningen som baserats på ovan nämnda tillvägagångssätt har blivit att de två filmerna jag valt att analysera båda har tydliga budskap som de vill förmedla till tittaren, dock är dessa huvudsakliga budskap hos filmerna sinsemellan djupt olika.

Background: The recent years in the Swedish Fast Moving Consumer Goods industry have been characterized by a palpable shift in power balance, favouring the retailers. Since the shift in power balance has strengthened the negotiation position of the retailers, the suppliers now have to, to a greater extent than before, accommodate to the retailers? goals, whether they be financial or strategic. Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate how this recent power shift has affected the relationships of suppliers and retailers. This development has resulted in the rather new and unexplored area of retailer value, which this study further aimed to explore.

The construction industry has not undergone the same logistical development as the manufacturing industry; this, in combination with increased material price, leads to the fact that the construction industry must be improved. This master thesis is a part of the research cooperation Brains & Bricks goal of reducing production costs for the construction sector by 25 percent. Brains & Bricks is a cooperation between Linköping University, Peab and Katrineholms municipality. The master thesis aims to identify improvements in the flow of material, the Supply chain operation reference, SCOR, model has been used and the work has been carried out on one of Peab?s construction sites. At present the business is characterized by bad communication both between the construction site and the office as well as between the construction site and suppliers.
