This essay set out to propose a problematic interpretation of the socio-cultural perspective on learning. Its purpose is to show how the socio-cultural perspective on learning defines the concept of knowledge in an incomplete way. The aim becomes then that of giving a more comprehensive description of this concept, and, to this end, to construct a new, broader pedagogic discourse. The investigation starts with a deconstructive analysis of Roger Säljö?s socio-cultural text in order to point out the incompleteness of the concept of knowledge.

Flowcytometric technology has been widely used for measurement of the absolute numbers of T-lymphocytes subsets in Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV), defining the disease state, monitoring antiviral treatment, and identifying any risk for opportunistic infections. A manual preparing of the samples is required. More recently an automated and enclosed blood cell counting, Celldyn Sapphire has been introduced. In this study the performance of the Flow cytometer EPICS XL as a reference method for analysis of CD3+, CD4+ and CD8 T-lymphocytes was evaluated with blood from 40 individual?s samples.

Ordet kreativitet används flitigt idag av ledare, kreativitetskonsulter, konstnärer, unga som gamla. Vissa ser kreativiteten som en ekonomisk drivkraft, andra tycker att den gör vårt liv mer spännande. På sistone har det vuxit fram många kreativitetsprofessioner, så kallade kreativitetsexperter som säger sig veta vad kreativiteten är och har en universal lösning för stimulering av den och vet hur man leder den. Jag kallar det att strukturera kreativiteten genom klichéspråk. Genom att kommunicera kreativiteten med det klichéspråket gör vi illa själva kreativiteten.

Our questions are: What effect has the concept of a "library as a meeting-place" for library staff?How do they see the library as a meeting place?

Begreppet Human Resource Management, d.v.s. ledning av de mänskliga resurserna, har de senaste åren vuxit sig större. Detta beror bl.a. på att medvetenheten kring organisationer och hur man får anställda att öka produktiviteten har blivit större. Idag vet vi att de psykosociala faktorerna på en arbetsplats är av stor vikt för att få en ökad produktivitet och effektivitet.

The aim of this study is to create an increased understanding of shared leadership and how it takes shape in the relationship between first-line managers in human service organizations. Shared leadership is seen as a complement to the traditional one-man leadership and briefly means that two managers share the role that usually is held by a single leader. The study has a qualitative approach based on semi-structured interviews with managers in human service organizations. The interviews mention the mangers thoughts and experiences about shared leadership and gain approval in the hermeneutic science field. The study is analyzed based on symbolic interactionism where perspectives from the theoreticians Mead and Goffman are used.

The aim of this essay is to examine three separate Swedish public libraries and their respective websites on the grounds of the usability sciences. I firstly had to summarize the main properties of the usability-field in order to gain an extended knowledge of its purposes and possible usage for today?s library systems. I was then able to apply the extended knowledge in the examination of the three library websites and the purpose of determining whether or not they were designed according to the standards set by the usability-sciences.Usability is a rather new science that deals with the dissection and examination of computer-based systems, in order to find the key components that make systems user-friendlier. With user needs being the main focus of its research, usability tries to meet all the different needs of the modern user and construct systems that are less system-centered and more user-centered.

The aim of this study was to establish knowledge about the most suitable substrate for cultivating different kinds of anaerobic beer spoilage bacteria in the brewing industry. During the study, two other aspects were investigated; if the sample volume affects the results and which anaerobic beer spoilage bacteria are present in the micro flora at the brewery. The method used was standard cultivation with four different substrates; Universal Beer Agar, Nachweismedium Bierschädliche Bakterien, Raka Ray and VLB S7-S. During the identification of bacteria in the micro flora, a method using PCR was used. None of the substrates showed a significant advantage over the others.

Utgångspunkten för följande uppsats är dynamiken mellan Föräldrabalken, FB, 6:8 och artikel 8 Den europeiska konventionen angående skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna och de grundläggande friheterna, EKMR. FB 6:8 innebär ett ingrepp i familjen då vårdnaden om ett barn flyttas över på någon utanför familjen. Detta ingrepp i familjen som FB 6:8 medför innebär inte enkom att den faktiska vårdnaden överflyttas utan stadgar om överflyttning av den rättsliga vårdnaden. Överflyttning av vården baseras inte på bristande omsorg i sig utan grundar sig främst på att barnet kan ha bott i ett familjehem under en längre period och rotat sig där. I uppsatsen utreds huruvida FB 6:8 är förenlig med artikel 8 i EKMR och motiveringen bakom reglernas tillämpning.
