Sverige har under många år varit ledande i e-förvaltningsarbetet och har utformat ett flertal handlingsplaner för införandet. E-förvaltningsarbetet har drabbats av svårigheter och problem under åren och år 2008 startades e-förvaltningsarbetet om med en ny handlingsplan. Även denna handlingsplan har utsatts för kritik såsom att det bara en vision som saknar riktlinjer hur e-förvaltningsarbetet skall realiseras. Ledande personer inom forskningsämnet anser att handlingsplanen inte är tillräcklig för att stödja och leda kommunerna i e-förvaltningsarbetet. Studien syftar till att undersöka hur handlingsplanen omvandlas till styrning och strategier i offentliga förvaltningar.

Today, branding is not a phenomenon but rather a prerequisite for a brand to be able to both survive and grow stronger. During the last couple of years, personal branding has come to be an established term, just like corporate branding. With the growth of the social media and the thousands of ways to interact with each other personal brands face great competition. It is more difficult than ever to maintain a strong brand, partly because of this. There are several growth options for brands.

The share of problem gamblers increased for men between 18-24 years old during the period 1999-2009, while the share were steady or decreased for other classes of population. This study examines the relation between this development of problem gambling and the Swedish gambling market. The factors that are studied are the functioning of the market with a focus on the new Internet market for gambling, the games and the underlying risk factors in those, the marketing and other factors outside the gambling market. First a large literature review was made to map the development as detailed as possible. After that a qualitative analysis of the content in television commercials was done to see if they were made for the problem group.

Tårsubstitut används mycket bland linsbärare och personer med torra ögon. Detär vanligt nuförtiden att arbete i kontorsmiljö och vid datorer ger problem medtorra ögon, Computer vision syndrome (CVS), och att dessa personer dåanvänder tårsubstitut. Ofta står det i tårsubstitutens bipacksedel att de kan geproblem med dimsyn en stund efter applicering.Tidigare studier har visat att aberrationerna i ögat ökar vid applicering avtårsubstitut och möjligtvis är det anledningen till att dimsynen uppkommer.Syfte: Syftet med studien är att ta reda på hur mycket synkvaliteten påverkas avtvå olika tårsubstitut och hur lång tid den påverkas.Metod: Metoden innebar att närvisus och aberrationer mättes på 30 patienter (60ögon) först utan tårsubstitut. Sedan applicerades det första tårsubstitutet(Systane) i höger öga och ytterligare en mätning av närvisus och aberrationerutfördes. Därefter gjordes ytterligare 5 mätningar av aberrationerna, en var fjärdeminut.

Syfte: Att undersöka prevalensen av myopi i Guatemala under en resa med hjälporganisationen Vision for All samt jämföra resultaten med andra delar av världen.Metod: All data samlades in under en resa med Vision For All till Guatemala i mars och april 2013. Städerna som besöktes var San Bartolome Becerra, San Miguel Dueñas, San Antonio Aguas Caliente, San Lucas Toliman, Panajachel, Fraijanes, San Juan Saquetepequez och La Esperansa. Innan undersökningarna ägde rum fylldes ett journalblad i med bl.a. ålder, kön, arbete inomhus/utomhus och arbete på nära/långt håll. Undersökningarna utfördes med hjälp av en Snellen E-hakesyntavla uppsatt på fem meters avstånd.

The subject of motivation and feedback is something that the literature regarding management treats as significant. Therefore we have investigated how managers work with feedback in motivational and development purposes within union companies in Gothenburg. According to the existing theory it is important that feedback is given correctly and with relevant content, and thus affect both the recipient's own development and the growth of the business. Earlier authors also discuss the complexity of feedback that it is important to consider all of the surrounding aspects, and that it is important to be aware that there is no single approach that can be directly applied on all types of organizations.To investigate how the managers within the union companies motivate their employers without access to monetary incentive, we conducted a qualitative study with in-depth interviews with four respondents. The respondents were decision makers at their respective union company with the roles as CEO or deputy CEO.

Sheep breeding contributes not only with wool, hides, meat and milk but also with openlandscapes. The sheep?s wool is a good raw material thanks to a lot of different qualities as itis water rejecting and easy to form. The wool production today is concentrated to specificplaces in the world which leads to environmental problems and a distorted market. InJämtland, a province in Sweden, there is right now a staking going on for local production andrefining of wool in a project called Ullforum.

Syftet med mitt examensarbete är att fördjupa förståelsen för hur rektorer ser på inkludering av elever från särskolan i grundskolan och gymnasieskolan. Studien grundar sig på en hermeneutisk ansats med intervju som metod. Jag väljer en kvalitativ metod eftersom mitt syfte inte är att generalisera och dra allmänna slutsatser utan få en djupare insikt i hur just mina informanter ser på mina frågeställningar. Som teoretisk bakgrund har jag valt att utgå ifrån de tre specialpedagogiska forskningsperspektiven, som benämns som det individinriktade,- deltagar,- samt dilemmaperspektivet. De resultat som framkom i min studie visade, i likhet med tidigare studier som gjorts inom området, att det finns en tydlig diskrepans kring den syn på inkludering som beskrivs i forskning kontra i den konkreta verksamheten ute på skolorna.

Since the beginning of the new millennium the world?s population has increased exponentially fast. The majority of this growth has been accommodated for by urbanization of the developing world. This in turn has lead to a wide spread of informal settlements. Thus, areas of urban slums, that have risen illegally on the marginal lands within and at the periphery of the formal city.

The Swedish stock-market gives investors an opportunity to benefit from the global growth while financing companies invests and contributes to a socio-economic development. Parallel to the ownership of the funds also follows a responsibility as companies in the funds affect society and the environment. The growth of savings in funds, combined with an increased focus on sustainability has developed SRI (socially responsible investment). Therefore it is interesting to examine whether responsibility is an exception, which only concerns SRI-funds or a general principle, which includes the whole Swedish stock-market.The results of the survey makes it clear that all the Swedish major banks actively works to integrate sustainability within the respective bank's business to achieve a more sustainable financial system. Thus concludes the investigation that responsible investments are a general principle on the Swedish mutual stock-market.How responsibility is integrated in fund management differ between the banks.

This paper covers a study of the Swedish charging market for electric vehicles from both the perspective of stakeholders and car owners.

At present electricity is provided for free, but all stakeholder point out that this business model is not sustainable in the long run. The result of the interviews shows that electricity won?t be offered for free in the future ? the question is which factors affect how long it will take for the different stakeholders to find a suitable business model.

The gas turbines in the Swedish secondary reserve are reaching the end of their technical lifetime, hence alternative solutions need to be considered. One of the solutions thought to have the greatest potential is the use of so called consumptionreduction. By entering contracts with large consumers, agreements are made to reduce consumption in the event of major disturbances in the power system and thus being used as a secondary reserve. This thesis investigates the feasibility of consumption reduction as part of the secondary reserve. This has been achieved by developing a requirement specification for the disturbance reserve and by studying the technical and economic potential for consumption reduction among a range of consumers.The technical potential for consumption reduction that fulfils the requirements for participating in the secondary reserve are on average 750 MW in SE 3 and 98 MW in SE 4.

Syftet med detta examensarbete är att ta reda på hur skolans vision ser ut gällande arbetet med värdegrunden i relation till elevens uppfattning och delaktighet. Två delstudier har genomförts där den första syftar till att ta reda på elevernas uppfattningar och delaktighet i skolans arbete med värdegrundsfrågor utifrån en enkätundersökning. Den andra studien har fokuserat på vad regering, Skolverk och kommun har för riktlinjer och mål på skolan gällande värdegrund och mobbning genom en granskning av offentliga dokument, publikationer och rapporter. Detta för att sedan jämföras med två skolors planeringar och se om dessa två skolor uppfyller de krav som regering och skolverk har. Det resultat som framkommit av detta examensarbete visar att elevernas delaktighet och kunskaper om värdegrunden är låg på en av de studerade skolorna, detta trots styrdokumentens krav om likabehandlingsplaner, värdegrundsplanering och åtgärdsprogram.
