Forskning inom corporate social responsibility (CSR) har lyft fram de ekonomiska fördelarna med socialt ansvarstagande och hur investerare reagerar på positiva och negativa nyheter gällande olika aspekter av bolags CSR-arbete. Tredjepartsaktörer har även visat sig kunna överbrygga informationsasymmetri mellan bolag och investerare gällande CSR-arbetet och därmed påverka börsvärdet för berörda bolag. Denna studie undersöker hur tredjepartssignaler i form av ranking inom CSR-området jämställdhet påverkar berörda bolag på Stockholmsbörsen. Detta görs genom en eventstudie där abnormal avkastning beräknas för bolag på dagen för offentliggörandet av stiftelsen Allbrights årliga jämställdhetsrapport där svenska börsbolag kategoriseras och rankas efter graden av jämställdhet. Eventstudien omfattar åren 2012-2018. Studiens resultat visar att negativ kategorisering leder till negativ abnormal avkastning som är koncentrerad till rapportdagen. Vidare indikerar studiens resultat att Allbrights ranking fått ökad kurspåverkan över tid.

This thesis purpose is to investigate the sociopolitical factors and causes that led to why KB chose not to use the criteria and guidelines for their digitization activities are described in DIGSAM. To do this I focused on three research questions;- What factors (internal / external) led to the decision not to use the criteria guidelines for digitization, which is described in the policy document DIGSAM and what arguments and opinions formed the basis for the decision.- What is the Library's digitization activities, the factors, criteria and guidelines governing activity in the current situation? - Will KB's choice not to use DIGSAM as a whole in their digitization activities affect national library's role as a beacon for the Swedish libraries digital work? In what way and why? In order to answer these questions I interviewed three of KB:s librarians who had extensive knowledge of digitization and DIGSAM. I chose to also use a pilotstudy that was conducted at KB in the of spring 2010. The idea was to use this material as a basis to build on.As a theoretical framework, I chose to use a socio-political theory of Ingrid Mason. The results of my study was that KB's choice not to use DIGSAM was due to economic, infrastructural and organizational elements. / Program: Bibliotekarie

<p>The aim of this essay is to give the reader an idea of how the European agricultural policies have developed, in regard of sustainable development, since Sweden became a member in the union 1995. The main aspect that’s been investigated is the issues regarding sustainable development and how the issues regarding the ecological farming methods have been dealt with. My research questions are:</p><p>- How has the European environment- and agricultural politics changed since Sweden</p><p>joined the union in 1995?</p><p>- What consequences have the changes had for ecological farming?</p><p>The answers to the stated questions are that there have been several treaties in the field of environmental development of the agricultural policy, starting with the Maastricht treaty and ends up with the European Action Plan for Organic Food and Farming. Since there are economical aid to back up the decisions there have been some restructuring of the farming policies in the way that makes it’s possible to produce ecological products even if that’s more expensive than the regular actions.</p>

Studien behandlar matematiklärarnas syn på de sju matematiska förmågorna och hur förmågorna kommer till uttryck i lärarnas undervisning. Syftet studeras med hjälp av intervjuer av matematiklärare i gymnasieskolan samt observationer av lärarnas lektioner. Resultatet av studien visar på att lärarna är medvetna om hur deras undervisning behandlar de matematiska förmågorna. Vidar visar studien att lösning av rutinuppgifter dominerar undervisningen, vid dessa tillfällen berörs till största del procedur- och begreppsförmågan. I studien framkom att lärarna anser att det finns oklarheter i de matematiska förmågornas definition och att arbetet med förmågorna är tidskrävand. Baserat på undersökningen kan det tänkas att förmågorna anses vara tidskrävande på grund av att det inte finns material som är anpassat för arbete med förmågorna samt att nya områden inom matematiken måste introduceras i ett högt tempo. Lärarna lyfter att en positiv aspekt med de matematiska förmågorna är att de bidrar till en varierad undervisning. / This study´s purpose is to show mathematics teachers view on the seven mathematical competencies and how the competencies reflect the teacher’s teaching. The study is based on interviews of mathematics teachers in secondary schools and observations of the teacher’s lessons. The result of the study shows that teachers are aware of how their teaching covers the mathematical competencies. The study also shows that solving routine tasks dominates teaching. In these occasions mainly the procedural and conceptual competency are involved. It appeared that the teachers are unhappy with uncertainties in the definitions of the mathematical competencies. The teachers highlight that the competencies are a time consuming process. This study reveals that it can depend on that there is no material that is adapted to the work with the competencies and that new areas within mathematics must be introduced frequently. The teachers believe the positive aspects of the mathematical competencies are that the competencies contribute to a variation in the teaching.

The aim of this essay is to give the reader an idea of how the European agricultural policies have developed, in regard of sustainable development, since Sweden became a member in the union 1995. The main aspect that’s been investigated is the issues regarding sustainable development and how the issues regarding the ecological farming methods have been dealt with. My research questions are: - How has the European environment- and agricultural politics changed since Sweden joined the union in 1995? - What consequences have the changes had for ecological farming? The answers to the stated questions are that there have been several treaties in the field of environmental development of the agricultural policy, starting with the Maastricht treaty and ends up with the European Action Plan for Organic Food and Farming. Since there are economical aid to back up the decisions there have been some restructuring of the farming policies in the way that makes it’s possible to produce ecological products even if that’s more expensive than the regular actions.
