Syftet med föreliggande kandidatuppsats har varit att utifrån forskning om riskfaktorer, redogöra för vilka riskfaktorer gärningsmän har som utövar dödligt våld mot en kvinna i en nära relation. En nationell och internationell forskningsöversikt genomfördes samt en kvantitativ innehållsanalys av tio domslut från olika Tingsrätter i Sverige. Sammantaget så visar nationell och internationell forskning att de vanligaste riskfaktorerna för dödligt våld är separationsproblematik hos gärningsmannen, drog/alkoholmissbruk, tidigare utsatt offret för partnervåld, samt arbetslöshet. Innehållsanalysen av domsluten bekräftar den vetenskapliga forskningen där de vanligaste riskfaktorerna för brottet är en problemfylld relation, utsatt offret för tidigare hot om våld, kontrollbehov, separationsproblematik samt sexuell svartsjuka. Mer forskning efterfrågas kring depression hos gärningsmannen vid brottet, som både litteraturgenomgången och innehållsanalysen visade vara en riskfaktor. Ytterligare forskning efterfrågas också om styvbarn och hög åldersskillnad mellan offer och gärningsman, som den internationella forskningen visade verka som riskfaktorer.

The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is a special unit for patients who is in the need for emergency life-sustaining measures and every patient has complex medical- technical equipment. The experiences of a critical illness and the needs of critical care are experienced in different ways. The purpose of this study was to describe the experiences from patients in the ICU and how this experience has an influence on the patients. The method was a study of literature with a qualitative inception based on eight scientific articles and the analysis of content has been inspired by Graneheim and Lundman (2003). The result of the study is presented by four categories: to loose the ability to make themselves understood, to be forced to adjust to the environment of caring, to have the lack of connection with reality and to be in an intensive care environment, The results showed that patients in the ICU are affected by the attitude from the staff, the equipment around them as well as the sounds and lights in the environment there.

Arbetet som distriktssköterska innebär daglig kontakt med patienter som har hypertoni. Hypertoni är en folksjukdom som tar stora vårdresurser i anspråk och medför stora kostnader, även kostnaden för följdsjukdomar är höga (Grefberg & Johansson, 2010, s 147). Enligt SBU:s rapport (2007) har omkring 27% av vuxen befolkning i Sverige diagnosen hypertoni. Målet med vården skall utformas i samarbete mellan vårdgivare och patient och patienten skall motiveras att ta en aktiv roll i sin vård (Bosworth, Powers, Oddone, 2010).

The aim of this qualitative study of service work in the private sector is to examine how the service worker experiences his/her work. There are three dimensions of the service workers experience in focus, and they are the base of my formulation of questions. The first dimension refers to how the service worker experiences the emotional labor demands from the employer. The second dimension concerns the relation between service worker and customer, from the view of the service worker. The third dimension problematizes how service workers experience efficiency.I have interviewed three call center customer workers and two hotel receptionists, using semi-structured interview technique.

Syftet med min undersökning var att ta reda på lärares syn på lärare-elev-relationen. I min rapport belyser jag vad som karaktäriserar en god lärare-elev-relation, hur en god relation etableras, vilken betydelse en god lärare-elev-relation har, samt vilka hinder och svårigheter som lärarna upplever sig ha för att kunna etablera goda elevrelationer. Jag genomförde en kvalitativ intervjustudie för att kunna belysa fenomenet mer nyanserat och djupgående. I studien ingick fem lärare från en gymnasieskola i Kalmar. Urvalet gjordes strategiskt för att garantera att det skulle finnas en spridning vad det gäller lärares kön, år som verksam lärare samt ämneskombinationer.
