A part of the midwife?s profession is to promote and support breastfeeding. The objective of this study was to describe the perception of the level of support and advice regarding breast-feeding given to women who have received postnatal care at maternity wards, and to present the opinions of the aforementioned women on how this support could be improved.Method: Women who have given birth at Uppsala University Hospital were routinely asked to fill in internet-based questionnaires regarding their views on the care that they have received. In this study, our data consists of the feedback from four questions in these questionnaires regarding breast-feeding. The answers to the closed questions were presented with descriptive statistics and the comments on two open questions have been analysed with content analysis.Results: Out of 622 women who were cared for at the hospital?s maternity ward after giving birth, 83% stated that they were very satisfied or satisfied with the information and support they received about breast-feeding, and 78% expressed the same views regarding the delivery ward.

Barnen är den grupp i samhället som använder datorer allt mer och mer. Idag finns det pedagogiska lärospel som ska hjälpa barnen med att lära sig skriva, läsa och räkna i skolan. Vi har intresserat oss för dessa typer av spel och vi har i denna uppsats undersökt hur ett sådant spel kan hjälpa barn och vad det är i spelet som representerar ett lärande. Vi har använt oss utav ett spel vid namn Läslandet från Läramera AB och gjort observationer med hjälp av en metod som varit av både kvantitativt och kvalitativt slag. Den kvantitativa ansatsen bestod i att vi använde oss av strukturerade observationer och det kvalitativa låg i att vi använde oss utav Think Aloud protocol.

Men commit more suicide than women all over the world. They commit more violent crimes and are more inclined to alcohol abuse. There are studies that relate this behaviour to the hegemonic image of masculinity.My work focuses on Switzerland. The suicide rate in Switzerland is worrying, for men between 15 and 44 years suicide is the most common cause of death. There is no national suicide prevention and no information or prevention that highlights the connection bet- ween the hegemonic image of masculinity and the suicide rates.

This thesis aims to examine the viability of various techniques for increased electricity generation in CHP plants and the effect of electricity price fluctuations on the profitability.The techniques examined are fuel dryer, pellet production, methane production, combined methane- and pellet production, seasonal heating storages in caverns and pit heat storages and condensing tail. Using Excel and Matlab, the prerequisites for investment costs, revenues and expenses were calculated.What affects the price of electricity is a combination of economic and technological development, energy prices, economic structure, population changes and weather. Different scenarios for the electricity price were therefore examined. In the base case, the electricity price was given by the Nord Pool electricity price statistics of area three in 2011. Thereafter, WiMo was used to design the electricity scenarios for 2030, which was then applied to the data to obtain the viability of various scenarios. The techniques examined were found to give greater profits to the CHP plant by increasing and optimizing the production of electricity.

The main strategy of gender equality policies has since the 1990s been gender mainstreaming. Many government inquiries show how much the Swedish government, provincial governments and municipalities are working with gender mainstreaming. The purpose of this paper is to investigative how the municipalities within the county of Stockholm handle gender mainstreaming demands in relation to other demands that the municipalities face. This is in order to closer investigate the hidden factors that create barriers to gender mainstreaming efforts. Given the study's purpose and the formulation of research question, qualitative method is the most suitable method to fulfill the purpose.

The interest for food and cooking has probably never engaged the people of Sweden as much as it does today. Especially cookbooks are selling better than ever which has been a quite constant trend since the mid 90's. This study explores the connection between visual communication in Swedish cookbooks and the post-modern values which have influenced the market climate and the visual culture. I have used a theoretical framework as reference consisting of theories of semiotics, visual rhetoric, marketing communications and postmodernism. I have been studying six cookbooks, three from the late 00's and three from the early 90's, from the two separate angles of their graphic design and photographic material.

Användbarhet är ett viktigt verktyg i arbetet med att förbättra interaktionen mellan användare och datorprogram. Ett led i användbarhetsarbetet är att utvärdera prototyper eller färdiga program för att hitta problem i denna interaktion. Det finns en mängd metoder för att göra sådana utvärderingar, varav vi genom användning har granskat ?expertutvärdering med tumregler?. Denna form av utvärdering har vi kompletterat med en användarundersökning, för att få ett bredare resultat i form av förändringsförslag.

Vid arbete med systemutveckling är det vanligt att arbeta efter en metod. Det som styr valet av metod kan vara erfarenhet, krav som finns från organisationsledningen eller politiska krav för att följa en given standard. Det är inte alltid lätt att välja en metod som är lämplig och som uppfyller de krav och behov som finns inom organisationen. För att välja en lämplig metod är användning av ett ramverk ett bra hjälpmedel. Ramverket används bland annat för att försäkra och kontrollera att den metod som utvärderas uppfyller de krav som ställs på systemet och att de olika komponenter som ingår i systemet behandlas med hjälp av metoden.

Syftet med denna uppsats var att göra en jämförelse mellan studenter som läser det första respektive det sista året på socialpsykologiskt program på högskolan i Skövde ideras attityder mot hemlösa och tro på att världen är rättvis. Ett ytterligare syfte var att ta reda på om det fanns ett samband mellan attityder mot hemlösa och tro på att världen är rättvis. Den teoretiska utgångspunkten i uppsatsen var perspektivet socialkognition, med relevanta begrepp som attityder, stereotyper och fördomar samt Lerner´s teori (1980) om tron på en rättvis värld. Metoden som användes var kvantitativ och utfördes genom två enkäter; Attitudes Toward Homelessness Inventory (Kingree & Daves, 1997) och The Global Belief in a Just World Scale (Lipkus, 1991). Den statistiska bearbetningen skedde med hjälp av statistikdataverktyget PASW Statistics 17.

Based on different integration policies, we aim to examine how five municipalities in Stockholm County are working to promote integration at a local level with focus on voter participation and to some extent, representativeness among foreign-born. Statistics provided by SCB shows that foreign-born tends to vote to a lesser extent than those born in Sweden. Further, we aim to examine the implementation of two policy documents established at a national level concerning integration in contrast to policy documents established at a local level in each different municipality. Further, we aim to examine summaries of actions taken in response to the local integration programs, as well as personal interviews. Each municipality will be considered separately, but we thus seek to make a comparative study.

The problem with narcotics is one of Sweden?s biggest social problems. Statistics shows thatthe number of narcotic related deaths and the numbers of heavy drug users are increasing. Thepresent narcotic policy has been questioned due to this increase. As a social worker you meetdrug users on a daily basis.

The aim of this study is to describe how Swedish research librarians feel that their work has been affected by electronic journals. The study focuses on medical electronic journals accessed through consortia agreements via Bibsam, the Royal Librarys Department for National Co-ordination and Development. This thesis includes two main parts: a literature survey and an empirical study. The literature survey shows that since the 1990´s most research libraries are hybrid libraries including both printed and electronic information sources and that librarians tasks to seek and organize information have remained but the tools have changed. Qualitative interviews were performed with four librarians at two university libraries and one university college library on how their work with electronic journals differed from their work with printed journals, which new tasks the electronic journals have brought and which have disappeared and how the librarians professional role has been affected.

AbstractTitle: How has IAS 38 affected accounting in small and large companies?A study of the differences in the accounting of financial ratios between small and large companies.Authors: Jasmine Choudrey & Rana QadriMain Course: Business EconomicsThe aim of this study is to make a comparative examination between small and large companies in Sweden and to analyse how accounting of intangible assets has been affected or changed due to the introduction of the new accounting recommendations and IAS 38.Main theory: There are no theories available on these type of researches due to the fact that the introduction of the IFRS is relatively new. Instead the essay discusses facts about the financial ratios and IFRS as a starting point for the study.Method: The examination will be a combination of both quantitative and qualitative techniques. The quantitative part will be based on statistics and financial ratios from the different companies annual reports. These financial ratios will be analyzed by performing a confidence interval.

I denna studie använder vi oss av ett teoretiskt ramverk baserad på den socialkonstruktivistiska teorin The Human Environment Modell (HEM). Detta gör vi med syfte att se vad för information vi kan få fram från en aktörsgrupp om: Hur den sociala interaktionen som skett mellan denna aktörsgrupp och ett IT-stöd har förändrat aktörsgruppens roll och dess sociala kontext. Vi använder detta ramverk för att utifrån bibliotekariers perspektiv beskriva, hur interaktionen mellan det centrala bibliotekssystemet LIBRIS och bibliotekarier har förändrat bibliotekarierollen på universitets- och högskolebibliotek. För att besvara detta syfte valde vi att utföra både en kvalitativ och en kvantitativ undersökning. Den kvalitativa undersökningen består av tre intervjuer med bibliotekarier på Lunds Universitet och Malmö Högskola.

The transition from paper to electronic journals in induces a major change in academic libraries. The library must focus on customising the service to meet user needs in order to compete with other actors on the market. This situation entails the need for a marketing and management approach in library organisations. Linda Ashcroft has in previous research focused on marketing of electronic journals. She has stated the importance of simplifying the user environment of electronic journals and the importance of regaining control over electronic journals from publishers and vendors.
