I denna studie har insamling av referensdata över sprĂ„kförstĂ„else hos treĂ„ringar med typisk sprĂ„kutveckling genomförts. Till detta har bedömningsmaterialet SofialĂ„dan (Westerlund & Öfverholm-Engström, 1995) anvĂ€nts. SofialĂ„dan bygger som flera andra sprĂ„kförstĂ„elsematerial pĂ„ den s.k. act-outmetoden dĂ€r man lĂ„ter barnet agera med föremĂ„l efter en given instruktion. Med hjĂ€lp av föremĂ„len i SofialĂ„dan bedöms barnets förmĂ„ga att identifiera grundfĂ€rger och storleksbegrepp, kategorisera, flytta föremĂ„lenligt olika prepositionsanvisningar samt att följa flerledade instruktioner.

Korta utlandsuppdrag har blivit ett sÀtt för multinationella företag att överföra kunskap mellan enheter. Det finns flera barriÀrer för överföring av tyst kunskap (know-how).   Eftersom tid till anpassning och kunskapsöverföring i vÀrdlandet Àr begrÀnsad vid korta utlandsuppdrag kan förberedelser inför uppdragen underlÀtta kunskapsöverföringen. Syftet med vÄr studie var att utforska hur korta utlandsuppdrag förbereds av företagsledningen och av medarbetare pÄ huvudkontoret inom det internationella diagnostikföretaget Phadia, för att skapa förutsÀttningar till vÀrdeskapande kunskapsöverföring till andra enheter. Datainsamlingen genomfördes med kvalitativa personliga intervjuer av tvÄ chefer och tre medarbetare pÄ Phadias huvudkontor i Uppsala. Företagsledningens och medarbetarnas förberedelser bestod frÀmst av praktiska förberedelser inför flytten till vÀrdlandet.

The purpose of this master thesis is to investigate different types of measures for making buildings more energy efficient and to estimate their profitability. The calculations were performed with the building simulation program VIP+ and the evaluation of the profitability with the life cycle cost method. Furthermore, it was examined how losses in the distribution of secondary systems of district heating can be avoided. Options to replace district heating with a local district heating system based on bio-energy have been investigated. The possibilities of achieving more efficient thermal energy consumption and production for the chosen estate were also examined.The object of the study has been a residential estate with 133 detached houses in Uppsala, built in 1974.

The field of work and employment is constantly undergoing changes. In order to help organizations to adjust to new conditions, different models for organizing have been developed. Many of these models are spread worldwide, due to the need for organizations to meet demands of flexibility and efficiency. In this study, a small number of models, which contains solutions of how to organize work in Human Resources, have been selected. The author and scientist Dave Ulrich, who has had a large influence on the development of the work in Human Resources, originally founded these models.The aim of this study was to examine how these models were functioning, in reference to the different departments of Human Resources labor within the township of Uppsala.

Anne Reese: Johan Lindegrens vÀgval : en studie i de faktorer som pÄverkade enskilda aktörers verksamhet inom Stockholms musiksamhÀlle 1860-1908, Uppsala universitet: Institutionen för Musikvetenskap, uppsats för 100 poÀng, 2007.The aim of this essay is to show some of the factors which affected the production and work of the individual musician or composer within Stockholm's music society in the late 19th century. By a case study on Johan Lindegren (1842-1908) I demonstrate how a musician or a composer functioned in the social structures of the music society and how power affected the work of the musician or composer. This essay also fills another purpose as it gives Lindegren a more detailed biography, which is something that has been missing until now.By applying a concept of power, as discussed by Michel Foucault, to this subject and interacting it with the concepts of musical opportunism, I present a new way of talking about the social, as well as the individual factors that affects the individual musician within the music society.The conclusion is drawn that there are two different types of factors that affects the work of the individual; 1) the social network and power within society, which presents positions and opportunities for the musician and 2) the individual character of musician which determine the way the individual uses the position or opportunity he or she is given..

rary of Sweden Statens musikbibliotek [51][pdf.gif] The aim of this study is to investigate how bibliographic description of music materials has improved through history.

The aim is also to understand what specific problems will arise in the work of cataloguing music materials and how the problems are discussed in the literature.

This thesis evaluates the environmental performance of six different fish farming systems. The thesis is part of the network group ?HÄllbar fiskförsörjning I Stockholms lÀn? (HFFS) which tries to increase the domestic and regional production of fish in Stockholm and move to a more sustainable supply in the Stockholm county. Two of the chosen systems; pangasius from Vietnam and salmon from Norway are delivering a substantial part of the fish consumed in Stockholm today, although they are very different when it comes to system characteristics. One system, arctic char with conventional feed, is produced in a fairly small scale in the north of Sweden, while the three remaining systems are viewed upon as possible options to supply Stockholm with fish in the future.

AbstractSyftet med denna uppsats Àr att belysa eventuella motsÀttningar som parrelationer utsÀtts för i och med dagens individualistiska samhÀlle dÄ individualism och tvÄsamhet kan ses som motsatspar. Vi vill med detta fÄ ökad förstÄelse för hur parrelationer prÀglas av samhÀllet och vi har utgÄtt ifrÄn fyra övergripande frÄgestÀllningar nÀmligen:1. Hur Àr det att leva i en parrelation idag?2. Hur yttrar sig eventuell motsÀttning mellan individuellt sjÀlvförverkligande kontra att anpassa sig till en annan mÀnniska?3.
