Efter de organisatoriska förändringarna i vård och omhändertagande av äldre där kommunen har tagit på sig ansvar för vård och omsorg av äldre har personalens arbete på äldreboenden blivit allt mer medicinskt inriktad. Vårdbiträden och undersköterskor har i praktiken fått ett stort ansvar för läkemedelhantering inom äldreboenden. De har även blivit kontaktförmedlare mellan patienten och den medicinsk kompetenta sjuksköterskan som numera har en konsultativ roll. Alla undersköterskor och vårdbiträden, som har deltagit i undersökningen hanterar läkemedel i sitt arbete, något som de inte har formell kompetens för. Arbetsuppgift kan dock delegeras när den reella kompetensen finns.

In December 2008 the municipal council in Nybro, decided that the municipality shouldreduce the budget for food service. The budget should be reduced by 2 100 000 SEK.They decided that the children- and education committee, and the care committee would haveto lower their budget with 1 264 000 SEK respectively 636 000 SEK. The change have to bedone under two years, 60 % should be done under 2009 and 40 % under 2010.As a result of the decision, many kitchens have to become kitchens that only serve food, notcook it. This will result in preschool staff and nursing staff take over some of the tasks fromthe kitchen staff. The municipal council also decided that entrepreneurs could take over one(later two) cooking areas.A kitchen that serves food means that there isn?t any cooking involved.

Syftet med följande arbete är att studera hur begreppet hållbar utveckling kommer till uttryck i faktisk undervisning på Handels- och Administrationsprogrammet på en miljöcertifierad gymnasieskola i södra Sverige, detta genom både formell undervisning men också inom ramen för elevens arbetsplatsförlagda utbildning, APL. Med hjälp av kvalitativa intervjuer ville jag se huruvida det fanns samsyn eller diskrepans mellan skolans sätt att ta sig an begreppet hållbar utveckling och den arbetsplatsförlagda utbildning som eleverna kommer i kontakt med inom ramen för sitt yrkesförberedande program. För kunna besvara min frågeställning har jag utgått ifrån tre huvudsakliga områden; dels vilken definition av begreppet hållbar utveckling som intervjupersonerna ger uttryck för, dels hur man arbetar med begreppet inom ramen för sitt uppdrag (som lärare, övrig skolpersonal eller ?coach? på fadderföretagen) samt i vilken mån begreppet behandlas och poängteras i relevanta dokument eller kursböcker. Arbetet ger även en översikt över tidigare forskning om hållbar utveckling och hur detta kan implementeras i pedagogisk verksamhet. Sammanfattningsvis visar resultaten att det på sätt och vis råder en samsyn mellan skolan och företagen i hur man väljer att definiera begreppet och vad man behandlar i undervisningssammanhang i relation till detta.

AbstractWork to develop the Eurocodes started in 1975 by the European Commission adopted a program to eliminate trade barriers within the construction area. The goal was to create common European design standards that would replace the member countries' own rules. Eurocodes will replace The National Board of Housing Building and Planning, National Rail, The National Road Administration and other agencies' calculation rules for the buildings structures. The transition to the use of Eurocodes looks like this:Eurocodes set to Swedish standards  between 2002 ? 2007They can be used parallel with national standards 2006 - 2009 The total transition is at the end of 2010/2011.Right now is going on a lot of work for replacement of the existing standards to Eurocodes.  The transition to the new calculations` standards, many construction companies and consulting firms facing a big changes and competitions.

Bakgrund: Målstyrning är ett styrsätt som används i nittio procent av Sveriges kommuner. Enligt forskare i ämnet målstyrning inom offentliga verksamheter har det emellertid ofta påpekats en rad problem som att mål ofta är vaga och att det råder brist på dialog mellan politiker och tjänstemän. Tidigare undersökningar har främst fokuserat på målformulering och befunnit sig på en övergripande nivå. Detta arbete studerar hur chefer inom bildnings- och socialförvaltning upplever målstyrning inom en svensk kommun. Detta på grund av att det inte har gjorts i samma utsträckning samt för att se hur styrsättet fungerar för de som använder målstyrning i verkligheten.Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur målstyrning upplevs som styrmetod av förvaltningschefer och verksamhetschefer inom en svensk kommun.Metod: För att kunna besvara syftet har en deduktiv fallstudie gjorts på två förvaltningar, bildnings- och socialförvaltningen, inom en kommun i Östergötland.

This Master Thesis has been conducted as an assignment of the Swedish Defence MaterialAdministration and the Swedish Armed Forces and aims to examine the Target Location Error(TLE) of a Forward Observer System. The targeting accuracy of the system is vital if the systemis to be used as a sensor for precision munitions. The analyzed system, EOI (FOI 2000), wasdelivered to the Swedish Armed Forces in 2007. The targeting sequence starts with deciding theposition of the system with a GPS-receiver, continues with methods where the north direction issettled and ends by measuring the distance, direction and elevation to the target. When allparameters have been measured the system calculates the position of the target.

Användandet av IT i vården kan vara en kraftfull resurs för att säkerställa vårdkvalitet och patientsäkerhet, till exempel genom att tillhandahålla rätt information om patienten på rätt plats vid rätt tidpunkt. Detta ställer stora krav på de IT-system som ska stödja det vårdande arbetet, representera informationsmängden, och samtidigt möjliggöra överföring av information. En omvälvande förändringsprocess pågår inom vården där dokumentation och administration sker med hjälp av datorer istället för med manuell pappershantering. Trots att alla parter ? vårdgivare, landsting och systemleverantör - är överens om det övergripande målet att gå mot "en patient, en journal", har förändringsprocessen visat sig vara svår.En fallstudie har genomförts där fokus legat på arbetet i dess helhet samt hur detta arbete stöds av IT-systemet Cosmic.

PurposeThe purpose of this thesis is to investigate the market of pedagogic consulting and how the customers look upon these kinds of services and what the consultants think about the market. The following five questions were investigated:What is the situation of the market of pedagogic consulting?-          What needs and what demands are there of pedagogical consulting services? -          What are the economic possibilities for schools and municipalities to buy professional development and consulting services?What do schools and municipalities think about their needs and what do they think about buying professional development from consultants?-          How are the professional development offerings of the consultants recieved by schools and municipalities and is there a difference between the private and public sector of education? -          What impact could professional development have on schools?In what way is the marketing for pedagogic consulting done?Method In this study I have chosen to have a qualitative approach with an abductive perpective. I made these choices to get closer to what I wanted to investigate. Through the abductive methodology it was possible to go between theory and empirics.

When designing roads it?s important to knowwhat loads will bedriven on it. The axles on heavy vehicles can either have super single tires ordual tires which, according to studies, damage the roads differently. The SwedishTransport Administration is developing an understanding for the character ofthese different kinds of axle and tire types on the loads induced on Swedishroads. In this thesis a field study was conducted to determine the distributionbetween axles with super single tires and axles with dual tires on heavy vehicles.A highway, a country road and a national road were investigated during thestudy.
