The level of help and support given to elderly people over the age of 65 has been regulated by two separate laws; 1-the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS) and 2- Act of Social Services (SoL). Recent changes in the legislation could cause local authorities to deal with these issues in different ways. The aim of this study was to examine and evaluate possible differences in the level of support for the elderly, dependant on which of the two laws was used in the decision process.The questions raised in this paper are· What are the major differences in the purposes of the two legislations?· How will the decisions be influenced dependant on what law is used? Do the decisionmakers identify the difference between the quality levels "good" and "fair"?· How is the process of care organised and managed within each of these legislations and how is the personnel used?· Are there differences in quality regarding freedom of choice, your own right to decide, influence, comprehensive view and continuity in the efforts given?· What development can you see in these fields of care.As a method I have used a case study involving four big cities in Scania. The most interesting and essential knowledge in the study was obtained from qualitative interviews with eleven decision-makers in the four communities.The result of this study indicates that there are more similarities than differences in the purposes of these laws.

A project has been going to develop science-based physical tests, designed for the ambulance service. The research has resulted in the Aasa-test.Objective: The aims of this study were to examine the ambulance staff perception of the Aasa-test relevance, introduction of annual tests and the importance of their own physical training in relation to ambulance work.Method: A quasi-experimental study with a comparative design has been conducted. Aasa-tests were conducted in 41 randomly selected staff at an ambulance station in central Sweden.

This study intends to examine why the Swedish children?s programme Bolibompa is produced the way it is during a larger catastrophe. Our intention was to find out how the editorial staff, in the children?s department in the public service television of Sweden (SVT),was handling the Estonia disaster, the September 11 attacks and the Asian Tsunami. To accomplish that, we first had to find out how the children?s programme looked during these catastrophes and also understand how the editorial staff was working with children?s programme during ordinary days.To achieve our purpose we have been interviewing five persons from SVT, who was involved in producing the children?s programme during these three catastrophes.

Discharge of inadequately treated waste water containing nutrients such as phosphorus and nitrogen as well as organic matter and bacteria is associated with a risk of eutrophication and contamination. The Swedish government has decided upon several Environmental Quality Objectives aiming to reduce the emissions of nutrients to water bodies.In Sweden, there are between 675 000 to 1 000 000 on-site sewage systems. Recent studies have shown that the function of small sewage treatment plants is in many cases insufficient. To prevent this regular service and supervision by a professional is needed. The focus of this study are small sewage treatment plants which use a technique where mechanical, chemical and/or biological reduction of pollutants is being used in the same facility to reduce nutrients in household wastewater.The aim of the study is to investigate how different municipalities ensure that small sewage treatment plants fulfill the requirements and reduce pollutants as efficient as the manufacturers claim.

Att vid 18 Ärs Älder tvingas ansvara för sina handlingar Àr för mÄnga ett stort steg, inte minst dÄ en del av ansvaret Àr ekonomi. Ungdomarna vÀnder sig ofta till förÀldrarna med frÄgor, men var ska de vÀnda sig nÀr förÀldrarna inte har svaret? Bankerna har börjat söka sig lÀgre ner i Äldrarna med sin marknadsföring för att fÄnga kunden innan denne blir myndig, men fortfarande Àr det mÄnga frÄgetecken kring informationen ungdomarna behöver.Uppdraget var att undersöka vad ungdomar behöver för information i en webbplats riktad mot ungdomar frÄn banken. En undersökning genomfördes med en enkÀtundersökning med 100respondenter och tre olika fokusgrupper som genererade att ungdomarna kÀnner att banker Àr alldeles för avlÀgsna. En minskad distans skulle medföra att ungdomarna lÀttare vÀnder sig till banken vid frÄgor kring sin ekonomi vilket i sin tur medför att deras intresse kring privatekonomiska frÄgor ökar.Designförslaget som presenteras fokuserar mycket pÄ en funktion med textbaserad personlig service med co-browsingfunktioner som tillÄter en bankman guida den unga kunden genom webbplatsen.

This is a study about employment officers at the Swedish public employment service. The aim of this study was to examine how they understand and use their discretion in their daily work. We used a qualitative method and the data was gathered by semi-structured interviews with eight employment officers working at the same office in a small town in Sweden. Lipskys theory about street-level bureaucracy and Lazarus description of coping theory are applied to analyze the empirical data. The work for the Swedish employment officers have changed over the last years with an increasing focus on control and administration.

Denna studie har visat att journalister har en stark yrkesidentitet som Àr nÀra sammankopplad med idealen. De har pÄpekat vikten av ideal som berÀttande av komplicerade skeenden och granskning, och Àven problematiserat dem. Respondenterna tenderar Àven att knyta samman kring idealen vid pÄfrestningar frÄn PR-kupper. Realtionen mellan journalister och PR-aktörer Àr komplicerad, vilket Àven kan utlÀsas i denna uppsats genom de Äsikter journalisterna uttrycker om fenomenet PR-kupp. Respondenterna med flera yrkesverksamma Är beskrev sig som trygga i sin situation Àven om PR-kuppen ifrÄgasÀtter en del av idealen medan de med fÀrre Är beskrev en större osÀkerhet och rent av en rÀdsla för att misslyckas genom att ha publicerat en osanning.

Inledning: Företag lÀgger allt större fokus pÄ deras logistikflöden. Anledningen till detta Àr att en effektiv logistikkedja kan skapa konkurrensfördelar. Detaljhandeln Àr en bransch som vuxit de senaste Ären. Parallellt med att bÄde utbudet av fysiska och E-handelsbutiker tilltagit har Àven konkurrensen ökat. MÄnga detaljhandelsföretag har dÀrför valt att outsourca delar eller hela sin logistikkedja, för att pÄ sÄ sÀtt kunna fokusera pÄ kÀrnverksamhet.

The aim with this study was to examine what it is that govern the way that municipalities develop the non-institutional care for youth. An extensive development of non-institutional care for children is a visible trend in municipal social service and probable reasons for this development are, among other things, research that show inadequate results of the institution care and economy. Our main questions at issue were how the municipalities argue the priorities that have been done within their youth care services with regard to the non-institutional care and how they reason considering this? Furthermore we asked why the municipalities have chosen to develop their non-institutional care for youth the way they have and on what grounds they make their choices? This study consists of eight qualitative interviews with politicians and employees in four different municipals along with analysis of relevant documents. We have found that what governs the way that municipalities develop the non-institutional care for youth has to do with that the municipalities found it vital to find alternative solutions to the expensive and ineffective institutional care, that they comprehend that the quality of non-institutional care are higher then of the institutional care and that the non- institutional care is seen as more effective with regards to economic results and achieved treatment results.

The purpose of the present qualitative study is to create knowledge about librarydigital services and their marketing to patrons with disabilities in Armenia, on theexample of the National Library of Armenia, as well as, to discover opinions of theNLA librarians and patrons with disabilities about the importance of library digitalservices to people with disabilities. Literature review and qualitative interviewing has been employed as methods to collect the empirical data. The results have been analyzed and discussed based on the library-marketing model of marketing research, marketing segmentation, marketing mix strategy and marketing evaluation suggested by Koontz & Gubbin (2010). It has been concluded, that 1) e-accessibility issomething new at the NLA and the NLA does not provide equally available knowledge, resources, services, facilities to patrons with disabilities, because of the following main challenges: lack of continuous funding and support from the state, lack of appropriate facilities and technologies, lack of qualified staff, and historicallyinherited library infrastructure impediments; 2) no library service marketing is conducted to patrons with disabilities at the NLA; 3) the opinions are that provisionwith such services is very important to people with disabilities, since they allow those people to gain access and use information in formats adopted to their various needs, and, of course, they become integrated into the modern society. The important role of a library as a non-discriminator and copyright protector in a developing country when delivering digital library services to patrons with disabilities has also been discovered..

Teorier inom företagsekonomi tillika service management, talar för hur verksamheter med ett tydligt koncept kan detaljstyra och dÀrmed sÀkerstÀlla sin kvalitet. Detta kan, enligt befintliga teorier, göras dÄ ledning, personal och gÀster inom det tydliga konceptet ses som homogena grupper vars beteenden och reaktioner kan förutspÄs. Den befintliga service management litteraturen som hÀvdar detta utgÄr ifrÄn ett realistiskt perspektiv och menar att det finns en enighet mellan dessa tre parter. UtifrÄn ett socialkonstruktivistiskt perspektiv menar vi att det Àr mer komplext Àn sÄ. Komplexiteten mellan dessa parter illustrerar vi i en modell som vi gett namnet ?Gapets triad?.
