Varje elev med diagnosen dyslexi har ett unikt och indivi-duellt sätt att lära sig. Däremot har flertal elever med dyslexi förlorat motivationen att utbilda sig eftersom de inte får den hjälp de behöver när de behöver den. Där kommer digitaliseringen in. I detta arbete har jag valt att utföra en innehållsanalys, där jag analyserar forskning från olika kul-turer för att besvara följande forskningsf

Previous studies show that when one of the siblings is already involved in criminal activities, there is a likelihood that the other sibling also draws into criminality. This essay aims to evaluate what perspective the police and social workers in Malmö have about the phenomena, and what a new regulation would look like.

Det brukar heta att vi alla är nya någon gång. Ändå bortser majoriteten av ledarskapsforskningen från något som vi menar är av oerhörd betydelse för att ledarskapet ska fungera väl eller inte, erfarenhet. I dagens forskning finns brister kring korrelationen mellan ledarskap och graden av erfarenhet. Vår studie ämnar skapa förståelse för fördelar och nackdelar med oerfaret ledarskap samt visa på hu

In 2003, Kenya introduced a nationwide Free Primary Education (FPE) reform, abolishing school fees in all public primary schools.

In the shadow of commercial fishing fleets, recreational fishers are a lesser known but still substantial group exerting pressure on the world’s aquatic ecosystems and its fish stocks. Enthusiastic angler participation, high catch rates, catch selectivity and harmful fishing techniques characteristic of recreational fishers can have detrimental impacts on the aquatic environment. Furthermore, recr

Society has become locked into an unsustainable agri-food system based on resource intensive industrial agriculture and a globalized supply chain producing food that is damaging to the environment and society. In London, United Kingdom a network of alternative food initiatives exists challenging this agri-food system and bring about a transition to one that is more sustainable. However so far the

A study is carried out on the ventilation strategies for road tunnels in different countries and consequences using fixed fire fighting systems (FFFS). The type of ventilation strategy for road tunnels can ensure the safety of people during the evacuation stages and protection of the rescue services during their intervention of the fire. Ventilation strategies vary from country to country and ther

Småföretagen upplever svårigheter vid finansiering med banklån. Anledningen till det är att bankerna ställer högre krav på säkerheter och historik till följd av finanskrisen 2008. Samtidigt söker investerarna alternativa placeringar utanför börsen. I denna miljö föds en ny finansieringslösning- gräsrotsfinansiering. Ämnet är nytt och i detta arbete ges en introduktion och en kartläggning av ämnet Small businesses encounter difficulties receiving bank loans due to the 2008 recession. Banks have harder requirements on collaterals and satisfactory records of accomplishment than before the crisis. At the same time, investors are looking for investments beside common stocks. In this environment, a new financing solution is being born – the crowdfunding. The aim of this thesis is to research on

The battle for Aleppo culminated in the year 2016 when Syrian regime forces captured northern parts of Aleppo making a siege a reality for many people. A question of who was to blame isn’t always clear when looking at complex conflicts. People often look towards media to make meaning of such complexities. This paper examines two different news organizations, RT and CNN, role in depicting perpetrat

Research shows that the ecologically most vulnerable regions of the world are also at risk of volatile conflict as a result of decreased economical productivity, migration and ethnic tensions. In societies that lack the ingenuity to adapt to resource scarcity, these processes might fuel or cause resentment and escalate to full-scale intrastate conflict. The Philippines has for centuries experience

Gång- och cykelvägar (gc-vägar) har blivit en allt hetare fråga i dagens moderna och mer miljö- och hälsomedvetna samhälle. Det planeras för fler gc-vägar mellan orter, men det råder osäkerhet kring hur rätten till dem ska säkras och flera alternativa lösningar har tillämpats. Vidare finns det oklarheter gällande vem som ska vara ansvarig för anläggande och drift av gc-vägarna. Det här examensarbeCombined walkways and bicycle paths has become an intriguing topic in today’s modern society with more focus on both health and the environment.

In addition legal custom regarding land access is scarce. When land is requisitioned for combined walkw

De senaste åren har den svenska sockerkonsumtionen debatterats flitigt i media. Att Sverige skulle införa en sockerskatt för att minska den höga konsumtionen har föreslagits av såväl akademiker som politiker. Trots att ett införande av en svensk sockerskatt har föreslagits i en rad riksdagsmotioner, har dessa avslagits gång på gång. Debatten har trots detta fortsatt, och att den till slut kommer uIn the past few years the high sugar consumption has been a concern in Sweden as well as world wide because of the health problems it may lead to.
