This thesis deals with questions about competences and qualities that librarians inpublic libraries find that they need to be qualified suppliers of literature (books andmagazines).Our aim is to problematize the competence of the profession in relation to promotingliterature, knowledge in literature and reading habits. We want to know what librariansthemselves think about their own competences when it comes to supplying andpromoting literature. Does it have to be a leisure interest or do they get the possibility toread during working hours?What do librarians think it means to be a qualified promotor of literature and how dothey acquire the right competence? Do they believe that their competence correspondswith the occupational requirements? How much of their knowledge about literature andpromoting literature comes from personal interest and commitment?We primarily used the theories about competence by Per-Erik Ellström. One of thetheories is the one of implicit and explicit knowledge.

I denna c-uppsatts problematiseras området konflikthantering och anledningen till att människor hamnar i konflikter. Syftet är att beskriva hur pedagoger i den dagliga skolverksamheten arbetar med konflikthantering samt om de har några speciella metoder eller strategier. Vi använde kvalitativa intervjuer som undersökningsmetod till vårt arbete. Syftet bröt vi ner i tre frågeställningar som sökte svar på frågor hur pedagoger arbetar med konflikthantering, deras tankar, erfarenheter och upplevelser inom området. Studien utgår från ett sociokulturellt perspektiv på lärande där vi har tagit i beaktning, utifrån ett forskningsperspektiv, att människan hela tiden påverkas av sin omgivning.

Abstract (in English) The report clarifies how the economy of Värnamo and Tingsryd area experiencing and implementing APL, it also reveals their need for jacking from the school to improve students achievement.By highlighting some of the requirements, expectations, obligations and rights as schools, businesses and students have between each other can enhance our understanding of each other's activities. With increased understanding of each other's needs, function and values can be a more seamless cooperation take place which can increase the efficiency, usefulness and effectiveness of APL and apprenticeship.The investigation of the report includes a survey of 25 questions that companies involved in APL answers and interviews by two well-designate individuals in the subject, Jonas Olofsson, who among other things, wrote the book "Krisen i skolan" and Annika Jervgren is research assistant in the National Apprentice Committee.The supervisor's actions during the APL are addressed and they are critical to student achievement and how the profession is perceived. It is also evident that there is a desire for increased communication between schools and businesses and that practice is governed by established documented procedures to make the workplace time will be as constructive as possible for the students..

In this study I have explored the profession sales people and how they use social media. I have also studied their needs for further education and how it can be addressed in social media, in order to learn how a B2B-company that educates in sales training can meet sales people in social media. It?s an empirical study based on individual interviews with a semi-structured interview template. Respondents were of mixed age, both men and women.

The aim of the study was to investigate how a community motivates and ensures the implementation of its values and how this document affected personnel of meaning, vision and daily operations. The study was based on semi-structured interviews, in which nine respondents were interviewed in a city in southern Sweden. Interviews dealt with three different themes, all concerned organization or set of values. The analysis was based partly on how organizations and institutions build up and maintain their legitimacy. The analysis was also explained by the new institutional theory and its concepts isomorphism.

The aim of this undergraduate thesis was to explore how the welfare officers at palliative units in Stockholm respond to the patients? thoughts and experiences during the last phase of life, as well as exploring their picture of the patients experiences. The research questions of the study were:? How do the welfare officers relate to the patients? experience of their death? ? In what way do the welfare officers respond to the dying patient and his or her experiences?? What knowledge/experience do the welfare officers have and what knowledge/experience do they consider is needed in their profession?To answer the research questions a qualitative method was used where five welfare officers in three different palliative units were interviewed. The empirical material was analysed through meaning concentration and are presented using exact quotations.

The students participating in my development work will work with a process book for handicraft studies. In the beginning of their studies, the students need practical knowledge about the development of the profession itself, but they also need to be challenged and learn how to solve problems on their own which will help them gain a deeper knowledge of the subject.    I focus on open questions to create a process with the students. This process is created when working with Solution-Focused-Education. Through ?assessment for learning? we can help the students to improve their self-assessment and understanding of the learning process.

Bakgrund: En väl fungerande psykosocial arbetsmiljö är den som anpassas efter individers behov och begränsningar. Sjuksköterskan har genom historien utsatts för hårda prövningar då yrket har setts som ett kall snarare än en profession, vilket har lett till hög arbetsbelastning och låg status. Hälso- och sjukvårdslagen, arbetsmiljölagen och patientsäkerhetslagen beskriver hur god vård och bra arbetsmiljö ska samverka för att gynna både vårdpersonal och patienter. Arbetsmiljöverket beskriver olika faktorer som kan skapa en dålig psykosocial arbetsmiljö, exempelvis högt arbetstempo, oklara roller och ständiga förändringar. En arbetsmiljö som är begriplig, hanterbar och meningsfull skapar arbetstillfredsställelse och ökar välmåendet.

AbstractSocial welfare workers employed in the same county base their assessments on the same laws, routines and guidelines, yet it seems that they sometimes come to different decisions. It's the discretion that enables the social workers to make individualized decisions adapted to each clients unique situation.The purpose of this paper is to examine social welfare workers reflections on discretion and what influences their discretion in the professional role.Six qualitative interviews were conducted with social welfare workers in three communitys i the middle of Sweden.The main result shows that it is primarily four factors that affect the social welfare workers discretion in the professional role :External factors such as other organizations change of regulations and cooperation with other organizations.Organizational factors such as routines, rules and guidelines .Professional factors such as the opportunity to use experience and professionalknowledge to determine which measure works in different situations.Individual factors like the workers ability for initiative and the clients individualcircumstances. Social welfare workers feel that they have a relatively wide discretion in their profession. They believe they have the ability to make individual evaluations of each client, however they also believe that their discretion often is limited by lack of time.Key words: social welfare workers, clients, discretion, assessments. .

Telefonrådgivning kräver ett kvalificerat handläggande där sjuksköterskan på kort tid ska kunna etablera en god vårdrelation med patienten trots att den visuella kontakten saknas. Förutom kunskaper inom medicin krävs det att telefonsjuksköterskan har en god förmåga till kommunikation och visar respekt och empati för patienten. Efterfrågan på telefonrådgivning ökar och detta ställer krav på specifik kompetens hos sjuksköterskan. Vi har därför valt att beskriva vad som kännetecknar sjuksköterskans arbete med telefonrådgivning för att få kunskap i om hur vi i vår profession kan bli bättre på att ge råd via telefon. Det har gjorts i form av en litteraturstudie med grund i analys av kvalitativa artiklar samt en kvantitativ artikel.

The purpose of this bachelor thesis was to illuminate and analyze the working conditions of visual artists in the Swedish region of Värmland. As a profession which is known to have many problems concerning income and the fact that most artist are unable to get by on their art sales alone it becomes interesting to look closer on cultural policy?s affecting the artists, where the problems lie and what possible help they can get.I have used previous research and different sources to map out the working conditions in Sweden and Värmland alike and also interviewed five different visual artists in Värmland to get a general view of the working conditions in the country as a whole and their perception of the situation and special circumstances in Värmland. I have also used discourse analysis to compare the source material with the answers of my respondents to see which discourses that exists, that have hegemony, and to see how this subject is talked about.The results of this study showed how political decisions may force artists to become self-employed entrepreneurs even though many artists do not self-identify as such or even have any interest in profitable gain. The study also shows among other things that most artists have another occupation on the side but that there are some aids to help the artists with income.

I förskolans läroplan (Skolverket, 2010) beskrivs att föräldrar ska ha ett nära samarbete med förskolan, bland annat ska föräldrar vara delaktiga i och ha inflytande över verksamheten. Förskolan ska ge föräldrarna goda förutsättningar för det. Det leder fram till syftet med studien om vad föräldrar har för uppfattningar om förskolans verksamhet. I fem kvalitativa intervjuer, med föräldrar ställs följande forskningsfrågor:* Vilken kännedom har föräldrarna om förskolans pedagogiska uppdrag? * Vilka förväntningar har föräldrarna på förskolan?I studien framkommer det att respondenterna har övergripande mycket kännedom om förskolan, vilket också överrensstämmer med deras förväntningar på förskolan.  Den förälder som har fått ta del av hur läroplanen konkretiseras i verksamheten, har också en vidare insikt i arbetet på förskolan, vilket kan ge ett djupare samarbete.

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka hur omvårdnad som huvudområde presenteras i Sjuksköterskeprogrammet vid Göteborgs universitet för att fördjupa kunskapen kring diskrepansen som finns mellan den allmänna bilden av sjuksköterskan och sjuksköterskans egentliga roll. För att uppnå detta utfördes en diskursanalys på Sjuksköterskeutbildningen 2012 vilket innebar en analys av en utbildningsplan, fjorton kursplaner och fjorton studiehandledningar. Genom att analysera texterna identifierades hur strukturer och sätt att uttrycka sig präglar innehållet. Vi har också tittat på hur texten ger möjlighet till studenterna att få förståelse för ämnet, samt hur texten bidrar till att antingen öka eller minska diskrepansen mellan stödämnena och omvårdnaden som huvudämne. I analysen framkommer att styrdokumentens innehåll och formulering kan göra det svårt för studenterna att ta till sig och ge värde till omvårdnadens betydelse för sjuksköterskans profession.
