Vårt huvudsakliga syfte är att söka kunskap om och fördjupa förståelsen för hur gymnasieelever med diagnosen Aspergers syndrom (AS) upplever sin skolgång. Vår konkreta frågeställning är att undersöka elevernas upplevelser av bemötandet från lärare genom en kvalitativ intervjustudie där 4 gymnasieelever med diagnosen AS har intervjuats. Den litteratur som använts har varit kopplad till skolan och Aspergers syndrom. Uppsatsen ger en överblick av tidigare forskning om Aspergers syndrom och hur undervisning av dessa elever kan läggas upp. Vårt resultat pekar på att det är nödvändigt att ta hänsyn till den enskilda Aspergers elevens behov. Det är även viktigt hur dessa elever blir bemötta. En lärare ska acceptera elever som de är och möta dem med empati, värme och respekt. Det är också väsentligt att ha en kännedom i hur man på ett medvetet sätt kan arbeta och bemöta elever med denna diagnos.

Can we read the Gospel of Mark as tragedy? How so? With what limits? With what results? I depart from previous explorations of these questions by rejecting their definition of tragedy as a work faithful to the dramatic conventions described in Aristotle's Poetics. I build instead on Aristotle's essential definition of tragedy as a work that inspires fear and pity in an audience. Using a narrative-critical approach, which allows a focus on the effects generated by Mark's plot and characters, I conclude that Mark, while more tragic than Matthew, is not clearly tragic or comic: the gospel maintains a careful balance of tragic and comic possibilities, challenging the reader to appropriate the story in her own world and tip the scales towards the comic. The effect of the text, however, is dependent on audience; Matthew's rewriting of and Papias' comments on Mark demonstrate that contemporary readers probably did not perceive Mark as tragic.

The effect of government intervention on business is a longstanding topic in political economy. One of the interesting cases is in recent China, where “socialism with Chinese characteristics” is associated with three decades of rapid economic growth. However, many doubt the sustainability of the “dual-track” approach applied in China, which tries to combine “market track” and “planned track” and achieve national goals without sacrificing firm-specific efficiency. This thesis investigates how the “market economy model dominated by political capital” works in Chinese OMAs. We look at Chinese overseas M&As in the period of 1994-2009. It is a good example because 80% of Chinese overseas M&A took place after China’s “Go Global” policy, and approximately half of the executors are state-owned enterprises. We test whether China’s Go Global policy affected shareholders’ wealth while pursuing government’s long-term goals of strategic resource-seeking and industry restructuring. The results show that Chinese OMAs achieved significantly positive performance in the short-run. However, performance decreased and became statistically insignificant over a longer three-year horizon. We find no evidence in the short-run responses of markets that the Go Global policy sacrificed shareholder wealth. However, we find OMAs by state-owned enterprises significantly underperformed private enterprises in the three years following completion of the deal. And there is evidence OMA performance varied across different sectors in the before and after policy periods. We also develop a generalized event study approach that pools multi-listings in event samples and “weights” individual listings by the new information they provide. We think this approach can be applied to other empirical studies in international/emerging markets settings.
