Bakgrund: Det har i tidigare forskning visats att människor alltid påverkas av psykologiska fallgropar. Empiriska studier har tidigare genomförts med syfte att finna hanteringssätt att reducera psykologiska fallgropar. Vid litteraturstudien till denna uppsats påträffades dock ingen kvalitativ studie vilken berör hanteringen i praktiken varför det var av intresse att studera det genom intervjuer med svenska fondbolag. Då dessa empiriska studier till viss del utgått från praktiken vid skapandet av hypoteser gällande problematiken med psykologiska fallgropar var det även relevant att kartlägga på vilken kunskapsnivå svenska fondbolag befinner sig gällande behavioral finance som forskningsfält. Syfte: Denna uppsats syftar till att kartlägga och analysera svenska fondbolags kunskaper gällande behavioral finance som forskningsfält. Den ämnar även analysera om och i vilken mån hanteringssätt av psykologiska fallgropar, presenterade av tidigare forskning, i praktiken används av svenska fondbolag vid investeringsbeslut. Genomförande: För att uppnå uppsatsens syfte har ett kvalitativt tillvägagångssätt använts med utgångspunkt i åtta genomförda intervjuer med representanter från svenska fondbolag. Samtliga representanter har en övergripande insyn i hur fondförvaltningen går till på respektive fondbolag. Den insamlade empirin har dels analyserats utifrån en för denna uppsats framtagen analysmodell med syfte att kartlägga vart svenska fondbolag befinner sig kunskapsmässigt gällande behavioral finance, och dels utifrån tidigare empirisk forskning inom forskningsområdet. Slutsats: Uppsatsen lägger fram en ny hypotes vilken innebär att teoretiska förkunskaper om behavioral finance saknas i branschen samt att de hanteringssätt som används av svenska fondbolag till stor del inte reducerar psykologiska fallgropar. Det förklaras av att det till stor del inte finns stöd för svenska fondbolags hanteringssätt i tidigare forskningsresultat. / Background: Previous research has shown that people always are influenced by biases. Empirical studies have previously been conducted in order to find ways to reduce the biases. In the literature review for this thesis was however no qualitative study found which concerned the handling in practice, why it was of interest to study. Since the empirical studies, to some extent, have been based on practice when creating their hypotheses regarding the problem of biases, it was also relevant for this paper to survey the knowledge that Swedish fund companies currently have regarding behavioral finance as a research field. Aim: This paper aims to survey and analyse Swedish fund companies’ knowledge regarding behavioral finance as a research field. The paper also intends to analyse if and to what extent ways of handling biases, by previous research presented, in practice are used by Swedish fund companies when making investment decisions. Completion: To achieve the purpose of this paper, a qualitative approach has been used based on eight interviews conducted with representatives from Swedish fund companies. All representatives have an overall insight into how the fund management is done in respective fund companies. The collected empirical data has been analyzed partly on the basis of one, for this paper developed, analytical model with the aim to survey were Swedish fund companies are in terms of knowledge regarding behavioral finance, and partly on previous empirical research in the field of this research area. Conclusion: This paper table a new hypothesis which means that the industry lacks theoretical knowledge in behavioral finance and that the methods used by Swedish fund companies generally do not reduce biases. It is explained by the fact that a majority of the methods used by Swedish fund companies are not supported in precious research.

Title: Theoretical knowledge of first aid of pupils with hearing impairment educated by different communicational approach. Objectives: The purpose of this diploma thesis is to compare the level of theoretical knowledge concerning the first aid at schools for pupils with hearing impairment depending on main communicational approach. The partial goal is to determine if there is a connection between subjective evaluation of first aid knowledge, the ability to provide the first aid and the theoretical knowledge itself. Methods: Questionnaire containing 14 questions was used to determine pupils' knowledge. It was distributed in three elementary schools for hearing impaired children. The aiming group were pupils from the 9th and 10th grade of elementary school. Altogether 18 respondents from 3 elementary schools (X, Y and Z) participated in the research. There were 5 pupils in each class at schools X and Y, and both schools used bilingual communication as the education method, the questionnaire was translated into sign language there. At school Z there were 8 pupils and they were educated by the oral method. Data were converted into electronic form and graphically processed in the program Numbers. Results: Pupils educated at school favoring an oral communication approach achieved 12% better results in...

The aim of the research is to explore which level or levels of knowledge in the Swedish language can enhance the employment and/or occupational matching possibilities for refugees in Sweden.Methodology: This study conducts a quantitative research approach, Primary data was used, an online survey was distributed among a sample of Syrian refugees (defined as who were born outside Sweden with 0-9 years of residence in Sweden). Non-probability sampling by means of volunteer, snowball, and convenient sampling were used in order to collect the data, 112 valid responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics, reliability, multiple linear regression, multivariate analysis of variance and hierarchical multiple regression analyses.Findings: it is found that the relationships between the knowledge in Swedish language and employment either occupational matching are statistically significant. However, there are no significant relationships between the level of knowledge in Swedish language and employment and occupational matching. Moreover, demographic variables had hardly any influence on the employment and occupational. Nevertheless, the only effect has been observed is between the education variable and employment.Conclusion: Based on the findings of this research, it is detected that the level of the Swedish language does not play a considerable or notable impact on the refugees’ employment and/or occupational matching in Swedish labor market. So, attaining specific level in the Swedish language knowledge does not positively impact the refugees’ employment and/or occupational matching in Sweden.

Providing emergency basic life support in life threatening situations is a duty of everyone. Adequate knowledge of all recommended procedures is a prerequisite for succesful management of a critical situation including identification of an emergency, activation of rescue system and provision of first help. Cardiac arrest is a significant socioeconomic burden. Survival of cardiac arrest victims depends on the underlying disease and lenght of cardiac arrest. Early CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) is a most important factor of potential survival. However, effectivity of CPR for longterm survival reaches only around 10%. Therefore, ongoing education of general population in all techniques of CPR is justified and necessary. Just the initiation of CPRitself increases the chances for survival 2-3 fold. But, unfortunately, this emergency help is not provided always. This work is focused on evaluation of the quality of informations on recommended procedures and activities during acute setting and provision of lay person basic life support. In a theoretical introduction I describe the history of CPR and education of general population. Empirical part provides quantitative research based on a questionnaire with 100 respondents. Respondents are divided into two groups, persons who survived cardiac arrest...

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The widespread use of virtual learning environment (VLE) has great potential for the development of applications that meet needs in education. U -Learning environments the goal is to seek information related to the needs and preferences of users to create their context and present adaptations in its content to suit the user's profile, as in most traditional VLEs, such as Moodle, this process is not generally considered. Given the importance of a dynamic application that can continually adapt to the levels of students' knowledge, this dissertation proposes a module called SistEX (A Dynamic System for Detecting Student Experience). The adaptations in the environment used the Adaptive Hypermedia, and the type of information collected was the level of user knowledge, which were obtained through questionnaires applications. Furthermore, it was used and adapted the algorithm Q -Learning, from the intelligent tutoring system (ITS), to contribute to the user's learning process. As a result, the Software and user testing demonstrated that the environment SistEX worked satisfactorily, based on the assessments made by users who tested the module and its operation. The questionnaire was the System Usability Scale (SUS) on the module developed, which gave a result within a range considered good, which includes the objectives proposed in this work, even though some limitations and difficulties have been identified during development. / A difusão do uso de ambiente virtual de aprendizagem (AVA) apresenta um grande potencial para o desenvolvimento de aplicações que atendam necessidades na área da educação. Em ambientes U-Learning o objetivo é buscar informações relacionadas às necessidades e preferências dos usuários para criar o seu contexto e apresentar adaptações no seu conteúdo para se adequar ao perfil do usuário, visto que na maioria dos AVAs tradicionais, como o Moodle, esse processo geralmente não é considerado. Tendo em vista a importância de uma aplicação mais dinâmica e que consiga se adaptar continuamente aos níveis de conhecimento dos alunos, esta dissertação propõe um módulo denominado de SistEX (Um Sistema Dinâmico para Detectar a Experiência do Aluno). As adaptações realizadas no ambiente utilizaram a Hipermídia Adaptativa, sendo que o tipo de informação coletada foi o nível de conhecimento do usuário, que foram obtidas por meio de aplicações de questionários. Além disso, foi utilizado e adaptado o algoritmo Q-Learning, proveniente do sistema tutor inteligente (STI), para contribuir no processo de aprendizagem do usuário. Como resultados, no teste de Software e com usuários demonstraram que o ambiente SistEX atuou de forma satisfatória, tendo como base as avaliações feitas por usuários que testaram o módulo e o seu funcionamento. O questionário aplicado foi o System Usability Scale (SUS) sobre o módulo desenvolvido, que apresentou resultado dentro de uma escala considerada como boa, o que contempla os objetivos propostos neste trabalho, mesmo que algumas limitações e dificuldades tenham sido identificados durante o desenvolvimento.

Magister Public Health - MPH (Public Health) / The oral health programme in Lesotho aims to offer curative, preventive, promotive and rehabilitative oral health services. However, observations as well as annual reports suggest that oral health service utilization is poor, as most patients only attend dental clinics with advanced stages of decayed teeth which can only be extracted. The reasons for this very undesirable late utilization of oral health services have not been systematically explored and understood in Lesotho. This makes it difficult for health planners to find solutions for improving access, utilizations and responsiveness of oral health services.

<p>Idén till detta arbete uppstod som en följd av att vi på den fartygsförlagda praktiken upptäckt att kunskapen om katodiskt korrosionsskydd är mycket bristfällig hos många ombordanställda. Vi har även gjort en mindre undersökning bland yrkesverksamma maskinister för att se hur kunskapsnivån inom detta område ligger ombord. Undersökningen visar att vår hypotes om kunskapsnivån stämde till stor del. Ytterliggare ett skäl till att vi studerat det här området är att vi själva har velat fördjupa oss i ämnet, då våra egna erfarenheter endast varit att skriva av siffror från en display. Vår huvudfrågeställning har varit, Hur fungerar katodiskt korrosionsskydd ombord på fartyg? För att få svar på denna frågeställning har vi bedrivit litteraturstudier inom ämnet. De teoretiska kunskaperna har vi samlat från internet och böcker. De praktiska kunskaperna har vi fått från tidigare praktikperioder samt under praktik på MS Silja Galaxy under perioden december 2008 till januari 2009.</p> / <p>The idea for this exam paper arose under our onboard training periods. Under these periods we understood that the knowledge in cathodic corrosion protection was poor among the engine personal. We have also made a minor survey among marine engineers to see how the knowledge in this area is onboard. The survey shows that our hypothesis on the level of knowledge corresponded to a large extent. Further reason why we studied this area is that we wanted to deepen us in this subject, when our own experience only was to write numbers from a display. Our main question has been how cathodic corrosion protection work at ships. In order to answer this question, we conducted literature studies in the subject.
