Title: Veingeskolan F - Investigation of the indoor environment and a structural analysisMethod: Complete analysis of structural drawings to determine if the school have been constructed correctly. In my teorethical studies of the drawings I must seek out points that may have been damaged from moisture, this contains a full survey of the foundation, walls and ceiling. To strenghten the data collected from the drawings I must visit the school and do field investigations to find out if the school has any problems with the indoor environment.Analysis: I determined that we had some damages on specific places, these damages was caused by leaking roofs, a carpet that was tarnished by strong sunlight in connection with some type of glue and also the ventilation that may have been drawing malodorous air from a shaft in the foundation.Conclusion: I was able to see that the decision to demolish the school was quite drastic, if the county would have done continuous fixups on the construcion when the employes had complained maybe the action to the tear the school down would have been unnecessary. The lack of communication between the two parts lead up to the decision to demolish and build a complete new school..

This study aims to evaluate the value relevance of Piotroski?s (2000) nine fundamental signals. In order to do this, the signals are tested on the OMX Nordic Exchange Stockholm between the years 2003 and 2009. The hypotheses of the study are whether the signals are value relevant and if the value relevance has changed. To test this, a Chi-square test and a regression are used.

The study consist of an investigation regarding the implementation of reassurance policing in Sweden and include a survey conducted among some of the local police offices in Stockholm County. The aim of the study is to investigate how the police officers working in the local polices offices experience the implementation of the local police offices and if the implementation of local the polices offices matches the police authority´s purpose with the project. The study uses the theoretical framework from political scientist Michael Lipsky calledStreet-level bureaucracy - Dilemmas of the individual in Public services which discuss the role of street-level bureaucrats and their influence in the implementation. Included in the study is also two different perspectives on governing in public sector called top-down perspective and bottom-up perspective. The findings of this paper shows that the police officers are in general positive towards the implementation and that there´s a duality among the police officers regarding the proximity to the citizens..

Min utgång i denna uppsats är att undersöka hur politiker i kommunfullmäktige i Uppsala som röstat för en lågprisflygplats på Ärna i maj 2009, vilket går emot kommunens klimatmål och kommunens eget styrdokument, rättfärdigar sitt agerande. För att komma så nära deras egna röster som möjligt har jag både använt mig av deras egna insändare i den dominerande lokala nyhetstidningen, Uppsala Nya Tidning (UNT)och transkriberat radiointervjuer med dem, som gjorts av Sveriges Radio Uppland, under det aktuella året 2009. Mitt syfte i uppsatsen är att blottlägga hur politikerna konstruerar sina kritiker, som i sin tur leder till skapandet av en specifik position för politikerna själv. Med hjälp av Simone de Beauvoirs teorier om det manliga och universella subjektet och med en diskursanalytisk metod kunde jag kartlägga hur vissa återkommande teman användes för att situera kritiker av politikernas beslut som ?de andra?.

Detta examensarbete har fokuserat på vilka normer som finns i åtta likabehandlingsplaner från gymnasieskolor i Uppsala kommun. De normer som finns i styrdokumenten är en del i hur likabehandlingsarbetet sedan byggs upp och ger en grund för att bryta eller återskapa normer i verksamheterna. Utifrån Kumashiros fyra olika kategorier har delar av skolornas likabehandlingsarbete kunnat synliggöras som antingen normkritiskt eller toleranspedagogiskt. Ingen av planerna är i sin helhet antingen det ena eller det andra. Förändringsstrategier och behov hos skolorna ser olika ut..

This study aims to examine the effect management control systems have on which goals health centers prioritize. The management control systems of one privately owned and one publicly owned health center have been studied through a qualitative case study. Robert Simons (1995) framework with four levers of control (diagnostic control systems, interactive control systems, belief systems and boundary systems) has been used to structure the study. For both health centers we found a conflict of interest mainly between the diagnostic control system and the beliefs system, where the diagnostic control system is biased towards quantitative goals and the beliefs system is mainly biased towards qualitative goals. However, despite the unbalanced levers of control the studied health centers have been able to reach a well functioning compromise between quantitative and qualitative goals..

In the digital era, new services have entered the public libraries, like seeking information on the Internet, in databases, newspapers online etc. But many citizens do not know that these services exist. The libraries have a democratic responsibility to inform about them. In the county of Östergötland a project started in 2001 where libraries in five small municipalities built websites in which they present all their electronic services available. One of the aims was with the help of different kinds of marketing to reach special groups of people, like adult students, small companies and politicians.

Det här är en studie av mikro- och småföretag inom Uppsala län som syftar att bidra till bättre kunskap och ökad förståelse för hur dessa bolag hanterar sin löpande bokföring. Den kvantitativa enkätundersökning som ligger till grund för studien omfattar 163 bolag. De ombads svara på frågor angående hur de hanterar sin löpande bokföring, om de använder bokföringssystem samt vilken av parametrarna kotroll, kostnad och kunskap som var viktigast i beslutet om hanteringen av den löpande bokföringen. Samtliga bolag hade mellan 0-49 anställda och delades in i tre kategorier A, B och C, beroende på antalet anställda. Detta för att kunna se skillnader och göra jämförelser mellan bolag i olika storlek.

Växjö is a medium-sized town situated in the centre of the county Småland in Sweden with a good infrastructure and logistics and with a university that encourages cooperation with private and public companies. It is in this town that our case study of Småland Airport will take place. The aim of this study is to examine in which way the program of Library and Information Science at the Linnaeus University in Växjö offers knowledge that can be relevant for the staff at the airport in Växjö - Småland Airport. Using Wilsons model as our theoretical framework we examine how these two align with each other and by using a matrix that we ourselves elaborated in our analysis, we provide a clear picture of how the comparability two places comparability is represented. The result shows that there are compatible aspects to the Småland Aiports needs and what the program of Library and Information Science has to offer.

In the year of 2006 I moved to South Africa for a year, a land that has fascinated me because of its history. During the time of my stay I became very surprised how strongly apartheid permeates the community where the white South Africans today are building walls around themselves. Through media we get surrounded with pictures that media creates and to find information regarding what?s happening in the world this is, most often, the primary source. Therefore I believe it?s interesting to explore how two different local newspapers from the county of Kalmar, with two different ideologies, present pictures of the same event, namely the revolt of Soweto in 1976 and how these two newspapers relates to racial policies.

The conclusion of the study is that ICA has a strong brand equity resulting in brand trust from consumers, which is founded in the brand reliability and brand intentions of the company. .

The aim of this thesis is to analyze and explain the similarities and differences in management control between a private and a public primary care company. A comparative case study was developed based on one public and one private primary care company in Stockholm County Council. The framework of Otley (1999) was used to define and limit the area of management control systems, according to his five factors. For the analysis of the empirical results Hood's (1995) seven doctrines of New Public Management was applied, and customized to fit the purpose of the study. The results indicate that the differences between the two organizations are very limited.

BakgrundAnvändandet av kosttillskott ökar i Sverige bland motionärer. Ämnen med prestationshöjande egenskaper såsom koffein och kreatin är populärt bland tränande på gym och omsätter flera miljarder på marknaden. Pre workout-produkter (PWO) innehåller en blandning av flera olika prestationshöjande substanser som intas innan träningen för ökad styrka och ork. Säkerheten för användaren beträffande vissa ingredienser är emellertid oklart. Tidigare populära ingredienser som 1,3-Dimetylamylamin (DMAA) är numera läkemedelsklassade.

Jag har studerat hur jag med hjälp av illustration, fotografi, text, färg och form kunnat hjälpa Uppsala linneanska trädgård att locka fler besökare till deras trädgårdar för att de i sin tur ska kunna inspirera de som vanligtvis inte odlar, till att börja odla själva och ha kul med mat.Detta har jag undersökt genom att formge en affischlayout till ett kommande event där jag applicerat informativa illustrationer och tagit fram två olika typer av bildmanér. Ett bildmanér som ska attrahera barn och ett som ska attrahera vuxna, och testat om hen kan kombinera dessa olika bildmanér till en informerande enhet vad det gäller kriterierna för fungerande informationsdesign..
