The intimate connection between autonomy and decision-making in applied health care, especially in various kinds of consent and refusal has taken center stage in medical ethics since the Salgo decision in 1957. Prior to that time, the physician?s supposedly moral duty to provide appropriate medical care typically surpassed the legal obligation to respect patient?s autonomy. The Salgo decision concluded that physicians have a legal duty to provide facts necessary for the patient to make an informed decision. "The doctor knows best" long ago was replaced with "The doctor proposes; the patient disposes." There is no legal obligation for the patient?s choice to be palatable to anyone, other than that patient himself/herself.

The purpose of this study was to examine social workers working process in social assistance with focus on the child´s perspective. We were interested in learning about the existence of variations in approach and attitude between two municipalities. Question to be answered about what methods and approaches used by social workers to include the child´s perspective in the process of social assistance. Another question to be answered about what the manner in which social workers took into account the child´s perspective when the families apply for social assistance in relation to the operations and requirement. To fulfill the purpose, qualitative methods were used.

Det är av största vikt att lärare arbetar med kreativa och varierade arbetsmetoder för att skapa och bibehålla elevers läslust. Detta kan göras genom att frångå traditionella läromedel, dock skall dessa inte totalt förkastas. Genom att utgå från skönlitteratur möjliggörs lärarens uppdrag, nämligen att möta och tillgodose varje enskild elevs inlärningsstil, behov och mognadsnivå. Med detta menar vi att undervisningen/inlärningen kan variera mellan exempelvis bild, drama, musik, rörelse och de teoretiska ämnena. Med denna metod får alla elever en känsla av att lyckas och därmed ökar motivationen och lusten att lära.

The present study is embedded in the research field of Personal Information Management (PIM) and its goal is to contribute to this research area by showing information management aspects in untraditional contexts, as in the social networking site Twitter. The aim and purpose of this two year's master thesis was to investigate the beha-viour of librarians within the context of Twitter. The objectives of this thesis focus on the query of the informa-tion management aspect of Twitter, and on the investigation into whether Twitter offers the possibility to reach a state of flow while using it, as well as inquiring into the relationship between Mihaly Csikszentmihalyis flow theory and PIM. The theoretical framework of this thesis is centred upon the flow theory and the conditions that are necessary to reach a state of flow. To fulfill the purpose of this thesis a directed content analysis is applied as an investigative method, where its in-depth research aspects will be applied upon the empirical material, which contains 429 tweets.

The Goal with this Master of Science thesis is to expand the possible turbine efficiencymeasurements on an exhaust turbocharger. It was done as a part of the CICERO competencecentre. To feed the turbine with air a special flow rig has been used. Instead of loading theturbine by just restricting the compressor flow a docking system for an electrical dynamometer isdesigned to use the dynamometer as an additional loading source. By using an electricaldynamometer as loading device for the turbine, measurements are not depending on compressorperformance.A large part of the work consists in designing accessories for the dynamometer.

The 17th century was a time of change in Sweden. During the century many of the Swedish laws were altered. In the beginning of the 17th century this alteration resulted in a more severe sentence for most of the committed crimes, but a mitigation of the sentence for some of those crimes was effected in the middle of the 17th century. The aim of this study is to see how two local courts in the judicial system during the mid 17th century in Sweden treated adultery, and those who committed the crime against the background of what the law regarding adultery stipulated. The source material used are court records from Fryksdals hundred and Jösse hundred in western Sweden, and laws regarding adultery during the 17th century.This research shows that the laws regarding adultery were in themselves not gender specific, and their main concern was the marital status of those involved.

This thesis seeks to investigate how an agreed written form requirement is met in an electronic environment. Swedish Contract law is applied since Sweden lack specific regulation for electronically closed agreements. Since contractual freedom prevails in Swedish law, it is up to the parties themselves to decide if the formal requirements to be applied.In order to assess whether the written requirement is fulfilled in the electronic environment, a purpose-oriented analysis should be made. When the purpose of why a written form requirement applies has been clarified, the analysis continues to assess whether the objective can be achieved with the modern form of communication. The method is called functional equivalence and means that when an electronic media fulfill the same functions as the paper medium so will the electronic medium as a starting point to give the same legal effect as if it were the case of a written paper document.

With the political situation that prevails in the world, the need for contingency planning for the ecclesiastical heritage has become actualized with the aim of protecting the churches and their assets in war and armed conflicts. In accordance with Kulturmilj?lagen (SFS 1988:950) chapter 4 ? 15a, the Church of Sweden and its organizational parts are responsible for ensuring that contingency plans for the ecclesiastical heritage are established. In the legal statutes, it is not clear how this is to be carried out, who is responsible for all practical aspects or what is to be protected, something that creates gaps of knowledge regarding logistics, roles and selection. This means that there is currently a lack of principles and practice around the protection of the ecclesiastical cultural heritage, as contingency planning for cultural heritage is a fairly new phenomenon that has not been practiced in times of peace.

The purpose of this study is to examine how preschool teachers think about their work with aestetic expression with children. In my study, I have chosen qualitative interviewes to take part of the preschool teachers´stories in three different educanational approaches. The prescools that have chosen are Waldorf, Reggio Emilia and a traditonal preschool. To achive this purpose I have used following questions: Which view have preschool teahers about the inportance of aestetic forms of expression for children? How do preschool teacher describe their work with aesthetic expression and what similarities and differences exist between the different pedagogical approaches? The result shows that there are both similarities an differences between the preschools, mainly how they work with aestetic forms of expression.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att med en kvalitativ metod undersöka om dramapedagogiska övningar kan vara ett verktyg i undervisning av Argentinsk tango. Genom respondentintervju har jag försökt fånga elevernas upplevelse av dramapedagogiska övningar, om de tycker att det kan vara ett redskap för att utveckla kroppsmedvetenhet. Min intention med uppsatsen är att synliggöra dramapedagogiska övningar i undervisningen av Argentinsk tango. Utifrån detta har jag tittat på om det i förlängningen kan förenkla lärandet av steg och sekvenser. Svaren från intervjuerna har sammanställts och sedan bearbetats och analyserats genom valda begrepp utifrån litteraturen.

Denna undersökning avser att studera hur musiktatergruppen "Nalta" arbetar för att fånga barns intresse och behålla det. De framför en föreställning som heter "Mamma bas får en baby" för i huvudsak barn i åldrarna 3-10 år. Undersökningen genomfördes genom observationer av föreställningen och intervjuer med gruppen. I undersökningen framkom två speciella faktorer som påverkade gruppens möjligheter till kontakt med barnen. Det första är att gruppen själva upplever och agerar utifrån egen lust och glädje.

Syftet med det här utvecklingsarbetet var att få djupare kunskaper om hur pedagoger kan använda sig av sagor och samtidigt ge barnen möjligheter att uttrycka sig med olika estetiska uttrycksformer så som bildskapande, dramatisering, sång och återberättande. Vi valde ut sagan om bockarna Bruse som sagotema där barnen under fyra tillfällen samlades för olika estetiska aktiviteter.  Arbetet genomfördes i en förskola på två olika avdelningar parallellt. Därefter dokumenterades aktiviteterna genom att observera och föra loggboksanteckningar. Vi fick under arbetet upp ögonen för vilka möjligheter det finns i att arbeta med sagan som tema men även hur viktiga våra förberedelser, vårt förhållningssätt och miljön är i förskolan. Arbetet med de estetiska uttrycksformerna ledde till ett lustfyllt och utvecklande lärande hos barnen.

Att gräva där man står är en kvalitativ och hermeneutisk studie som undersöker vad utövare av de förtrycktas teater har för målsättningar och vad de vill förändra. Intervjuer ifrån åtta utövare/teatergrupper i Brasilien och Argentina kategoriseras i resultatdelen utifrån sex olika målsättningar: skapa forum, politisk förändring, att gräva där man står, anpassning och terapi,personlig utveckling, styrkan i att arbeta i grupp. Vidare presenteras två olika nivåer som utövarna verkar på: en samhällelig och en individuell nivå. Metodens potential att förändra och utövarnas målsättningar förstås sedan i tolkningsdelen med hjälp av forskning på området som tar sitt avstamp i Marx och Bourdieus teoretiska ramverk. Resultatet relateras också till svenska förhållanden..
