Jag möter världen varje dag genom mitt jobb : En beskrivning av studie- och yrkesvägledares syn på vägledning av nyanlända ensamkommande flyktingbarn och ungdomar

This study aims to describe how active guidance counselors can look at the guidance of unaccompanied refugee children by using their experience. The study will focus on advice and the study is based on a qualitative approach in which interviews were conducted with seven guidance counselors. The result shows that there are major differences in how the interviewee’s approach guidance of newly arrived unaccompanied refugee children. There are differences both in terms of the experience of advising newly arrived unaccompanied refugees and in how their role is designed.Also shown are also some similarities; guidance and counseling with newly arrived unaccompanied refugee is described as difficult. All interviewed guidance counselors believe that guidance is a process, but how the process is handled differ between different guidance counselors. The explanation for the difference is mainly due to personal opinions. For future studies, we believe it would be interesting to investigate the equality of career and education guidance in Swedish schools.

Analysis of crack formation and crack growth in concrete by means of fracture mechanics and finite elements

A method is presented in which fracture mechanics is introduced into finite element analysis by means of a model where stresses are assumed to act across a crack as long as it is narrowly opened. This assumption may be regarded as a way of expressing the energy adsorption GC in the energy balance approach, but it is also in agreement with results of tension tests. As a demonstration the method has been applied to the bending of an unreinforced beam, which has led to an explanation of the difference between bending strength and tensile strength, and of the variation in bending strength with beam depth
