In this study we aim to research teacher opinions on sexual education and how it is conducted within schools in Sweden. From their view of the education we want to elucidate the different factors of success and tribulation that the sexual education contains. The teacher opinions, which are collected through semi-structured interviews, reflect many different aspects of the sexual education. Though the informants possess different positions within schools they all seem to have some what the same idea of what successes and tribulations the sexual education contains. Furthermore all of them agree on one thing, the students want more sexual education.

This research shows and analyses how pupils in ninth grade in the nine-year compulsory school look at being multilingual, at the Swedish language and at Swedish as a second language. I also want to know if language and culture knowledge are taken care of in school as it says in official documents for the Swedish school and as it also is desired in an intercultural education. For my research I do eight interviews in a suburb school south of Stockholm.My work includes a limited account for the current research about being multilingual, Swedish as a second language and about the close relationship between language and culture. The applied theory is a social constructivist theory which in short can be explained like that we construct social structures that have consequences on the individual as well as on the society.I show in my research how the view of the world around the pupils influences their view on their languages, their school and their neighbourhood. I also draw conclusions from my interviews that language knowledge is little appreciated in school and that Swedish as a second language has a low status..

Inom måleriet på Volvo Lastvagnar, Umeå finns idag utrustning som hanterar hytterna med oidentifierade systemförluster och varierande kapacitet i grundlacksprocessen. Det är nödvändigt att ha kännedom om vilka begränsningar som finns i processen för att kunna optimera den på ett effektivt sätt. Utrustningen som avses är två hissar och en transportvagn som alla tre är automatiserade och som används för att hantera hytterna från utgång kylzon efter grundlack fram till KOB-bufferten innan täcklack. Målen med uppdraget är att identifiera systemförlusterna, beräkna kapacitet på utrustningen samt ta fram förslag som kan minimera alternativt eliminera systemförlusterna. Vid genomförandet har befintlig produktion i måleriet studerats. Litteraturstudie Lean production och Volvo Production System har utförts för att underlätta arbetet.Under arbetet genomfördes en tidsstudie som sedan sammanställdes för att användas för att identifiera systemförlusterna och beräkna utrustningens kapacitet.

This master thesis is an attempt to study the interface in itself, where the human meets the machine and the problems that can arise. I study a particular interface, namely the OPAC of Libra III. In 1999 IFLA presented recommendations for what an OPAC shall contain, and in one part of my master thesis I compare Libra III with these recommendations from my opinion. In another part of my master thesis I make an investigation where I let five by me chosen persons answer some questions from me, both by doing and verbally. I draw the conclusion that Libra III follows most of the recommendations of IFLA in a sufficient way.

The aim of this thesis is to examine what factors that influences the management control in a family business operating in a sector in which they are under-represented. We have therefore conducted a case study of a family business in the finance sector, E. Öhman J: or Fondkommission AB (Öhman). The first conclusion is that the management control in Öhman is influenced by the environment and the increasing size of the company. We have found, however, that it is to an even larger extent affected by the fact that it is a family business even though the company is operating in a sector in which family businesses are not the norm.

Som examensarbete har vår grupp valt att presentera en lösning på ett problem som malmgruvor i allmänhet och gruvan i Malmberget i synnerhet har. Detta examensarbete har dock inte någon speciell uppdragsgivare utan har initierats av en gruppmedlem. Problemet bestod i att konstruera en produkt som skulle ersätta eller komplettera befintliga upphängningsanordningar för rörsystem till luft- och vatten- transport nere i gruvan. Ibland kan brister i planeringen (mänskliga faktorn) resultera i att ett för litet antal fästpunkter görs, eller i att fästpunkterna inte uppfyller ställda hållfasthetskrav. Detta leder till att maskinen som producerar hål för fästanordningen måste återkallas till gruvorten.

Vid Industriellt UtvecklingsCentrum i Olofström AB utförs bland annat slitageprov av verktygsstål vid plastisk formning av plåt. Parametrar som undersöks är verktygstålsmaterial, plåtkvalitéer, ytbehandlingsmetoder, smörjning och olika kombinationer av dessa faktorer. Den nuvarande testmetoden upplevs av IUC som icke tillräckligt produktionslik. Därför skulle det vara önskvärt med ett mer produktionslikt slitagetest än det nuvarande. Vårt uppdrag var förutom att utforma ett nytt slitagetest även att undersöka intressenters synpunkter på den nuvarande testmetoden och önskemål om ett framtida slitagetest. Inledningsvis inventerades befintliga slitagetestmetoder för att försäkra sig om att särskilja det nya testet från befintliga testmetoder och kartlägga vilka egenskaper som undersöks. Eftersom önskemål om ett mer produktionslikt slitagetestmetod fanns behovet av att göra en studie för att definiera begreppet mer produktionslik.

News value is an essential part of which event media chooses to report about. Political events consider to bee news with potentional large value. Media has an enormous power and possibility to create news and construct there own reality and where the readers is given a false expression of what really happened. Today the media must show profit and that indirect affects how the media choose to describe political events. In the Kenya case is it therefore possible to draw the conclusion that the two news paper has different construction of the political event in Kenya.

Account receivables tie up large amounts of capital in. Various reports show that the actual time for customer to pay their invoices is getting longer. This is a problem both from a society and a business economic perspective. The purpose of the essay is to find out if Swedish companies have longer credit days than normal contractual terms of payment and if so, can the business cycle or the geographical distribution of sales have an impact and does it make a difference if the companies have an active monitoring of the actual customer credit days. To answer this, we studied 12 listed companies in four different sectors between the years 2000-2008. In the analysis, we reason about the results of the study and how the various factors may have influenced the outcome.

The purpose of this study is to analyze how companies that sell financial services can reach people in the younger audience. The financial services that we refer to are regarding banking and insurance for private users, and with the younger audience we refer to people in the age of 18 to 25. We think that this is a valid and interesting issue to study because of the common thoughts that persons in this age are common users of Internet, social medias and new technology. The main question through our study has been; ?How a financial company can attract the younger generation, and support their creation of value?" Our research is based on a qualitative method.

The study is made using qualitative interviews, which are analysed using a miexed method inspired by phenomenological method. The findings include that the essence of the respondents emplooyability is a shared work indentity as miltary officers and a common experienced problem in translating their merits.

A literature review of contaminants; cadmium, methylmercury, dioxins, and PCB, for eleven different fish species (Greenland halibut, gilt headed bream, sea bass, wolffish, hoki, ocean perch, angler, Nile perch, pangasius, red snapper and tilapia) that were selected in concurrence with the National Food Administration. The result can be used by the National Food Administration to gain further knowledge about the different fish species to be able to continue to give advice to varied risk category and the public. The gilt headed bream and sea bass were the only fishes whose values for mercury exceeded the limit of 0,5 mg/kg (EU Reg. 1881/2006). In the angler, Nile perch and pangasius the mean value of mercury didn?t exceed the limit, however in some individuals the mercury content did exceed what is allowed.
