The second type of ritual is a ?problem solving? ritual, such as meetings.

För att utveckla informationssystem använder företag och organisationer ofta systemutvecklingsmetoder. Att välja en systemutvecklingsmetod kan många gånger vara svårt, då olika systemutvecklingsmetoder lämpar sig för olika sorters projekt.Systemutvecklingsmetoder har bakomliggande filosofi som påverkar hur olika delar av informationssystemsutvecklingen sköts. Exempelvis är testning en viktig del i utvecklandet av informationssystem. Vi har därför i denna studie valt att inrikta oss på hur systemutvecklingsmetoder ser på testning.  Denna studie grundar sig i en litteraturstudie där vi som syfte haft att jämföra systemutvecklingsmetoderna; RUP, DSDM och Scrum i avseende systemutvecklingsmetodernas syn på testning.

Business incubation is an important force of economic development but relatively unheard of in organization theory. This is partly due to the fact that in organization theory, meta-organization or the organization of organizations has been neglected or left lagging as much theorization has been focused on organizing individuals. With the growing number of business incubators, and meta-organizations in general, the need for understanding a relatively new type of organization is prevalent.This case study of the business incubator Global Business Labs Botswana (GBL) aims to clarify the organizational differences among meta-organizations and traditional organizations on a case level, as well as explain the underlying factors for these dissimilarities. With respect to the nature of this case study no general conclusions are drawn from the results. The inference, however, is that the organization of GBL and its incubated companies differs from the traditional organization in five elementary aspects: the weak hierarchical structure, the operational autonomy of its members, the strong focus on recruitment processes, the member identity and the lack of formal sanctions.

In this study I try to answer the question what to consider when teaching about identity andreligious identity in Religious Studies at Upper Secondary Schools in Sweden. This inquiry isbased on the fact that the latest Program manuals for upper secondary school, GY11, instructsthe teachers to talk about identity and religion, while in the Curriculum for upper secondaryscool, Lpf 94, as well as the latest curriculum, SKOLFS 2011, the idea of identity seemslinked with ethnicity.With this in mind I want to clarify what might be meant with the concept of identity. Byreferring to several different identity theories I propose to illustrate the complexity of theconcept. I study gender, queer and postcolonial theory as well as different aspects of classstructure and commodification of identity, all through the perspective of intersectionality.Intersectionality is not a theory as such but a method of studying various perspectives of anissue. It is an analytical praxis of using several angles of investigation and explanationtogether, all phrased with the background of the question of power.

I Sverige insjuknar varje år ca 600 ungdomar i åldrarna 0-14 år i diabetes typ 1. Antalet ungdomar som insjuknar i diabetes typ 1 ökar kontinuerligt. Föräldrar, anhöriga och barn måste lära sig leva med sjukdomen och framförallt försöka anpassa vardagens liv utifrån de nya villkor som sjukdomen medför. För att möjliggöra denna anpassning bidrar sjukvården med viktig kunskap och vård under hela sjukdomstiden men kanske speciellt under debuten av sjukdomen. Denna studies syfte var att beskriva sjuksköterskans uppfattningar av vård av barn på sjukhus i samband med barnets diabetesdebut.

Syftet med denna studie har varit att undersöka hur företag samlar in och utnyttjar kundinformation mellan försäljningskanalerna. Men även att utreda motiven bakom att bli en multikanalåterförsäljare samt produkttypens roll i beslutet. En kvalitativ fallstudie med semistrukturerade intervjuer har tillämpats, där fyra företag och en expert deltagit. Studien har visat att information om kunden har varit värdefull och har använts emellan handelskanaler för att anpassa butikens sortimentsmix, skapa välgrundade kampanjer och styra kunder till butik. De mindre företagen, sett till omsättning, har haft mer användning av kundinformation vid beslutet att öppna fysiska butiker än de större.

Diabetes typ 1 (DM typ 1) är en av de mest förekommande kroniska sjukdomarna och drabbar främst barn och tonårningar. DM typ 1 kräver en livslång övervakning och behandling med insulininjektioner vilket ställer höga ansvarskrav på den drabbade. Barn- och tonåren karaktäriseras av olika stadium. För att främja utvecklandet av en god patientdelaktighet under hela mognadsprocessen är det viktigt att sjuksköterskan besitter fördjupad kunskap om barns upplevelser av att leva med DM typ 1. Syftet med litteraturstudien var att beskriva barn i åldrarna 10-18 års upplevelser av att leva med DM typ 1.
