This essay recognizes and criticizes a commonly held assumption that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) functions as a ?savings account of trust? between corporations and consumers. Based on five focus group interviews, the authors discuss how corporations that engage in society can sometimes raise and sometimes destroy the trust of potential consumers. One of our main findings is that CSR seems to raise the expectations among consumers. We then compare this phenomenon with the classical theory of the disconfirmation paradigm.

Each student in elementary school will under current policy documents have an individual development plan (IEP) from 1 January 2006.

Karlskrona har varit en stängd stad för utländska besökare under en period på 300 år men flera delar av staden har också varit stängd för allmänheten. Ett exempel på ett stängt område är Stumholmen som öppnades på 90-talet inför bomässan som hölls på ön år 1993. Stadsdelen har hyllats för sin varsamma ombyggnation men människors vistelse på ön har inte varit konfliktfri. Det har varit förändringar i den fysiska miljön samt användning av de offentliga rummen som legat till grund för konflikterna. Konflikterna har bidragit till ett stort missnöje bland de som vistas där men också till att Stumholmen övervakas sommartid.

Bakgrund:Palliativ vård innebär lindrande åtgärder, vilket innebär att effekterna av sjukdomen lindras men själva sjukdomen botas inte. Denna vård är en helhetsvård som bygger på en vårdfilosofi med syftet att bevara livskvalité när bot inte längre är möjligt. Oavsett diagnos och var människan vårdas ska palliativ vård omfatta alla människor. Frågor kring demenssjukdom och palliativ vård har problematiserats dels på grund av dess komplexitet och dels på grund av bristande kunskaper inom områden både hos närstående och hos vårdpersonal. Människor med demenssjukdom är en sårbar grupp, deras autonomi är begränsad och förmåga att fatta egna beslut varierar.Syftet:Med denna studie var att beskriva sjuksköterskans erfarenheter och upplevelser av att upprätta individuell vårdplan (IVP) vid livets slut för personer med en demenssjukdom.Metod:Resultatet bygger på åtta intervjuer med sjuksköterskor yrkesverksamma inom äldrevården med demensinriktning.
