The purpose of this study was to examine the usage and occurrence of media literacy in relation to literature studies in the senior level of the nine-year compulsory school. The questions at issue were;How do teachers and students look upon media literacy and how is this attitude reflected in their education?How do teachers incorporate media literacy with literature studies?What attitudes do students have towards their teachers? education of media literacy and literature studies?The study took place in two cities in Sweden. It consists of eighteen qualitative interviews with six teachers and twelve students. The study shows that teachers have different attitudes towards media education in relation to literature studies.

The aim of this thesis is to investigate whether personal development, from the professional perspective, could be a relevant part of the music education department at Malmö Academy of Music. The thesis explores whether students would gain a better understanding of the professional teacher's role through personal development, and also the kind of educational structure that would be most suitable to achieve this understanding. A qualitative focal group interview was used as a method, and the participants where four students at Malmö Academy of Music. The results show that the students generally would be open-minded to integrate personal development in their educational program, and they also have a lot of interesting ideas regarding how a framework for the integration of personal development in the educational program could be structured. A number of suggestions how to integrate self reflection in the educational program are presented in the thesis.

SyfteSyftet med vår studie är att undersöka vilken betydelse social klass och kön har för elevernas motivation till sitt skolarbete. Frågeställningarna vi använt oss av är, vilken typ av motivation har eleverna på studieförberedande program?, vilken typ av motivation har eleverna på yrkesförberedande program?, vilken typ av motivation har pojkar? och vilken typ av motivation har flickor?MetodVi har med hjälp av enkäter genomfört en undersökning med 100 sistaårselever från fem olika gymnasieskolor i Stockholmsområdet. 50 elever från studieförberedande och 50 elever från yrkesförberedande program, könsfördelningen är helt jämn. Enkätsvaren har bearbetats statistiskt i statistikprogrammet SPSS, signifikansnivån är i denna studie 95%.ResultatDet finns ett statistiskt säkerställt samband mellan motivation och kön.

The project is about making a Re-Design of the Swedish Socialistic Newspaper ?Dagens ETC?. The background to the project is my search for commitment when I work with a specific customer or project and how importantthat commitment are?The project was from the beginning split up to three different phases. The meaning of the first phase where to make a re-design mainly based on a interview with Johan Ehernberg, the chef editor on ETC.The second phase was a design totally made of my own idea and creative view as a Graphic Designer.I had in mind to make the third phase based on the result of the first two phases.During phase one and two I reconsidered and decided to skip the third step and put more effort in to the two first ones.

The project has been performed in collaboration with Thule Sweden AB, a global leader in developing safe, simple and elegant solutions for the transportation of various types of equipment. The company has developed a new T-track which is telescopically, they stand mount system to connect the roof box to the roof rack does not fit into this. Therefore, the company considered that it was necessary to have a new product that meets the requirements of the new roof rack. They wanted a new, smarter solution would be developed. The bulk of this essay has been to find a new concept to connect the roof box to the roof racks. The result is a saxkonstruktion that slides down the roof rack T-profile and protected out of a puck-like housing. The product is small, simple and elegant solution.

This thesis has been conducted at Saab Bofors Dynamics AB. The purpose was to investigate if a non-linear missile model could be stabilized when the optimal control signal is computed considering constraints on the control input. This is particularly interesting because the missile is controlled with rudders that have physical bounds. This strategy is called Model Predictive Control. Simulations are conducted to compare this strategy with others; firstly simulations with step responses and secondly simulations when the missile is supposed to hit a moving target.

Syftet med detta examensarbete är att ta fram en analytisk modell för riktad sprängverkan med konisk geometri. Modellen har testats och använts i ett egenskrivet program i C som simulerar förloppet. Programmet ska kunna hantera många olika modeller av RSV. Den främsta anledningen att ta fram en analytisk förenkling av problemet är de långa exekveringstiderna i de motsvarande tre-dimensionella strömningskoderna. En annan anledning är att strömningskoderna ofta har svårigheter att simulera strålbildningen i en konisk RSV.

Allt sedan datorer började användas som en resurs i företag har mindre företag sett de höga kostnaderna dessa fört med sig. I slutet av 1990-talet skapas en modell som möjliggör att hyra program från en Application Service Provider, ASP. Med ASP-modellen följer ett flertal förväntningar och fördelar om vad modellen kan tillföra i framförallt mindre företag. De ska till exempel till lägre kostnader få tillgång till program som kan öka deras konkurrensförmåga. Denna rapports fråga är om modellen lever upp till dessa förväntningar hos kunderna.Vid intervjuer som genomfördes med fem olika företag framkom bland annat att ASP-modellen kan möjliggöra ett minskat behov av egen IT-personal och att internt kunna ge användarsupport.

My purpose in this work was to find out how staff in a middle sized school uses its local Equal treatment plan in its work against bullying. But also to see how the use of a standardized anti-bullying program works to prevent bullying. I have interviewed the principal, teachers, and what we in Sweden call a ?fritidspedagog? and the members of the anti-bullying team to get answers to my questions.  The conclusion of this study is that the school follow and work according to what the Equal treatment plan states, both in terms of prevention, as in working with actual bullying cases. The school has also followed the National School Agency's recommendations on what should be the local Equality plan, but also to follow up and revise it each year. The interview shows that the staff at the school placed great emphasis on talking and discussing with students about how to behave towards each other, they also brought up things that happened at one time and talked about this. The staffs were very committed to work towards the prevention of bullying and the same was true with the school's headmaster.

The purpose with this essay is to examine the phenomenon SMS in TV. Partly by identify the communication process behind the phenomenon and partly by describing it in a editorial and technical point of view. We have analysed the communication process regarding scientific theories in communication, interaction and convergence. With a qualitive approach we have fulfilled four interviews and two small ethnographical field observations. Objects for the interviews and observations have been two Swedish produced debate-programs, broadcasted in TV; Diskus in TV4 and Debatt in SVT2.

Som specialpedagog är det viktigt att se det goda, det friska och vad det är som skapar framgång, med andra ord, att ha ett salutogent perspektiv. Detta har jag försökt att anamma i denna studie. Syftet med följande arbete är att hitta framgångfaktorer för elever med en dyslexidiagnos. De elever som jag har intervjuat gick på ett individuellt program på gymnasiet och jag har undersökt vilka orsaker eleverna anser har varit de främsta framgångsfaktorerna för att de skulle uppnå sina mål ? att bli behöriga till ett nationellt program. Jag har använt mig av en kvalitativ metod med en fenomenologisk ansats då jag har intervjuat tre elever och deras föräldrar samt två pedagoger.

Barn bedöms i skolan och det görs via betygen. Alla barn är olika individer, har olika lärstilar, bakgrund och erfarenheter. Trots det ska alla följa samma mål i skolan. Elever som inte lyckas uppnå målen tenderar att bli föremål för åtgärder. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka den organisatoriska och praktiska utformningen av det individuella programmet och hur det upplevs av lärare och elever.

The purpose of this thesis has been to determine experimentally how good a peltierelement is to convert waste heat from wood burning. Three different peltier elementswere used in a comparison study. The comparison was mainly done to know howmuch power could be obtained from each element. Even, a circuit with a step-upfunction has been created to give a higher output voltage than the peltier elementitself. The result of the experiments was a low output power, the highest valuereached 2.18W.
