In November 2007 the countries around the Baltic Sea signed the Baltic Sea Action Plan (BSAP). The action plan was an initiative from HELCOM due to the environmental status in the Baltic Sea. The action plan implemented a new approach with measures targeting the whole ecosystem. Eutrophication, hazardous substances, biodiversity and maritime activities constituted the main segments. The parties were to establish national implementation plans to fulfil the BSAP goals, which shall lead to good environmental status in the Baltic Sea by 2021.  The aim of this thesis is to investigate the points in common regarding conceptions of eutrophication in the Baltic Sea between the management, the science, the media and the public.

Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka synen på varumärkesbyggande hos fyra ideella organisationer; Plan Sverige, RFSU, Svensk Friidrott och Barncancerfonden. För att utreda detta så har kvalitativa intervjuer med representanter med stor insyn i kommunikationsarbetet på de ideella organisationerna genomförts. Med en grund i generella varumärkesteorier har författarna analyserat om dessa teorier är relevanta och i sådana fall applicerbara på ideella organisationer. I studien undersöks även om ideella organisationers syfte påverkar deras varumärkesarbete.Genom den undersökning som gjorts  kan man urskilja att valda ideella organisationers varumärkesarbete skiljer sig markant från teorier för kommersiella företag. Detta gör det svårt att applicera generella teorier på ideella organisationer eftersom de ideella organisationerna styrs av yttre faktorer som i stor utsträckning inte går att påverka. De intervjuade organisationernas syfte påverkar i stor grad deras positionering, vilket styr varumärkesarbetet.

Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att beskriva, granska och jämföra expropriation, inlösen och rådighetsinskränkningar i två lagar: plan- och bygglagen och expropriationslagen. För att uppnå syftet användes en traditionell juridisk metod. De två lagarna skapades utifrån olika syften men uppsatsen visar att dessa ändå har likheter. Uppsatsen åskådliggör hur plan- och bygglagen hanterar inlösen och rådighetsinskränkningar medan expropriationslagen hanterar olika former av expropriation. Sedan granskas innebörden av bestämmelserna i ljuset av egendomsskyddet i den svenska grundlagen.

Bakgrund: Sjuksk?terskor inom ?ldrev?rden st?r inf?r utmaningar med sv?rl?kta s?r hos den ?ldrande befolkningen. Kunskap hos sjuksk?terskan om sv?rl?kta s?r ?r en viktig del i omv?rdnaden av patienter med sv?rl?kta s?r. Inom kommunal h?lso- och sjukv?rd sjuksk?terskor tr?ffar patienter med s?r i hemmet eller p? v?rd och omsorgsboenden och d?rf?r ?r det avg?rande att sjuksk?terskor har kunskap om bed?mning och diagnos av s?r samt s?rbehandling och s?rl?kningsprocessen.

Bakgrund Sjuksk?terskans ansvarsomr?de ?r en omv?rdnad som vilar p? en humanistisk m?nniskosyn och ett personcentrerat f?rh?llningss?tt. Uppdraget inneb?r att fr?mja h?lsa, lindra lidande och s?kerst?lla trygg v?rd. En kontinuerlig reflektion ?ver normer och v?rderingar kr?vs f?r att v?rden ska vara trygg och etiskt f?rsvarbar.

This study examines from a gender perspective how the gender distribution is viewed in the content of Göteborgs-Posten's sports pages and the short and long term effects of the the newspaper's gender equality plan that was introduced in 2005. It is a quantitative study for two sample periods, 2005 and 2009, that investigates how many articles in the newspaper which is about women's sports and male sports. Michel Foucault's theory of discourse is central to the study, his view of identity in society and how these are represented fit well on gender issues in sports journalism. The results show that women's sport is greatly subordinate to man's sport in terms of number of articles. The gender equality plan has not had any noticeable effects on Göteborgs-Posten's sports pages. This is due to a variety of factors ? economic aspects weigh heavily in this problem. .

Denna studie unders?kte effekten av en l?rarledd intervention om sj?lvreglerat l?rande (SRL) och metakognitiva f?rdigheter p? gymnasieelevers digitala fokus och distraktion. Med bakgrund i den ?kande anv?ndningen av digitala enheter i klassrummet, utforskades hur elever beskrev sin fokusf?rm?ga, vilka strategier de anv?nde och hur interventionen p?verkade deras l?rande och koncentration. Studien baserades p? Zimmermans SRL-modell och samlade in kvantitativ data (testresultat, skrivbeteende, fokusbortfall via Exam.net) samt kvalitativa data (elevanteckningar, sj?lvskattningar, fritextsvar).

Organisationskultur präglar individer och grupper på olika plan, medvetna som omedvetna. Studier visar bland annat att vår bild av vad vi klarar av, vår så kallade self-efficacy, påverkas av vilken kultur vi befinner oss i. Syftet med den här studien var att undersöka hur organisationskultur upplevs av medarbetare och hur de upplever att den påverkar deras syn på sig själva och sin förmåga. Sju personer från ett ungt och expansivt företag, vars kulturfilosofi har blivit medialt uppmärksammad och hyllad, intervjuades. Resultatet visade bland annat att gemensamma värderingar och normer, såvida de är identifierbara, gör det lättare för medarbetarna att arbeta i samma riktning och tydliggör företagets förväntningar och ambitioner.
