This Bachelor Thesis in the area of Computer Science and Work Science describes the process of design and development of an IT-tool between the municipality of Ron-neby and TietoEnator a development and consultancy firm, the Gothenburg office. The thesis focuses mainly on the cooperation between the consultant designer and the local municipal. Through cooperation, the organisation is incorporated into the tool and the tool is incorporated into the organisation. Concepts that are central in this thesis are design, cooperation and tailoring. A question raised is, if distance work and extensive cooperation might be a good way of working in the process of design and development, when the organisation is being incorporated into the tool. Advan-tages and disadvantages of this way of working are discussed. Our studies show that distance work is a good complement for personal meet-ings between designer and co-developer.

In focus of this study lie students of an upper secondary school in a multicultural district, where more than 60 % of the students fail to reach the national goals for education. Since this particularly exposed group of students receives little attention during my studies in the Special Educational Teacher Programme, I have felt an ever growing urge to examine this group closer. As a basis for this study stands theories on how children and youths, in particular those of immigrant background, need holistic consistency and continuity in order to be able to build a positive development of identity. The purpose of this study is to explore the possibilities of developing parent cooperation in a multicultural district, through finding out what teachers and parents expect and desire from parent cooperation. I also want to find out how parents and teachers think that a working parent cooperation affects the student.

Lungcancer drabbar inte enbart den sjuke utan får även konsekvenser för dennes partner. Partnern delar i mångt och mycket den sjukes sjukdomsupplevelse och tillsammans möter paret de utmaningar som sjukdomen ställer dem inför. Sjukdomen är en av våra vanligaste cancersjukdomar och är förenad med dålig prognos. För den övervägande majoriteten som insjuknar är behandlingsinriktningen palliativ. Sjukdomen har ett snabbt förlopp och innebär en successiv försämring av hälsotillståndet för den drabbade samt ett ökat behov av hjälp och stöd allt eftersom sjukdomen framskrider.

Syfte: Syftet med denna tvärsnittsstudie var att undersöka hur prostatacancer patienter och deras partner skattar sina eventuella nivåer av ångest och depression samt att undersöka om skattningen mellan dessa två grupper skiljer sig åt. Syftet är även att kvalitetssäkra frågeformuläret Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) enligt ?Question-and-Answer?-modellen.Metod: Kvantitativ tvärsnittsstudie med deskriptiv- och jämförande metod användes. Studien innefattade sex patienter samt sex partners, sammanlagt 12 personer. Datainsamlingen skedde med hjälp av enkäter.Resultat: Både patienterna och deras partners skattar relativt låga nivåer av ångest och depression.

Economic changes, globalization and an aging population are phenomena that haveaffected the municipal development in the late 1900s. To address these challenges,cooperation in specific areas between municipalities in the 1990- and 2000's hasincreased. This is referred to in the literature as municipal cooperation. IT is one ofthese areas of collaboration and is seen as a potential solution to streamline municipaloperations. IT implementations are often complex projects involving a large number ofpeople.

Prostatacancer är en av de vanligaste cancerformerna i världen. Behandling av prostatacancern, såsom till exempel kirurgisk behandling, prostatektomi, leder ofta till erektil dysfunktion. Den påföljande sexuella dysfunktionen, påverkar männens självkänsla, hälsa och relationer. Sexualitet generellt är dock någonting som sällan diskuteras inom vården då både vårdpersonal och patienter anser ämnet vara obekvämt och genant. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka prostatacancerpatienters och deras partners upplevelser av den sexuella dysfunktionen som följer prostatektomi.

Over the past twenty years, the cooperation within the European Union (EU) has strengthened and expanded with both more number of Member States and stronger influence on international politics. The unique character of the Union and its ability to enforce peace and humanitarian intervention has attracted attention in political science. This prominent position of the Union is perceived by many scholars who often hold this derived from the Union's influence in international relations. Various terms have been used to define the powers of the Union. The British researcher Ian Manners states that the unique identity of the Union in the international arena is formed by its normative power.  An important policy area within the Union is the environmental cooperation.

This thesis investigates how recipient countries' domestic type of democracy affects its inclusive ownership in international development cooperation. This is done by examining Swedish development cooperation with Rwanda and Tanzania during the period from 2010 to 2014, a time when ownership - a concept which emphasizes recipient countries' leadership over its own development - was a central part of the international development agenda. The two cases were selected through a most similar case design where the value of potential explanatory variables was similar, except for the recipient countries' types of democracy. Furthermore, the case study uses a comparative analysis to analyze strategies and reports done by SIDA and the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Previous research focuses on the exclusion that national ownership can result in, in undemocratic national contexts. The main argument for this should be seen as the fact that ownership can not be representative if the power of the recipient's development agenda is limited to a decision-making elite.

Det här är en sexologisk uppsats med syftet att kvalitativt undersöka både kvinnors och mäns syn på kvinnlig, heterosexuell sexualitet. Fokus för undersökningen ligger på omständigheter som underlättar eller försvårar kvinnors lustupplevelser och orgasmer. De omständig-heter som undersöks närmare är olika sexuella handlingsmönster, kommunikationen mellan kvinnorna och deras partners samt kvinnornas sexuella självförtroende. Tre heterosexuella kvinnor, som alla upplevt orgasmsvårigheter, och tre heterosexuella män, som upplevt orgasmsvårigheter hos kvinnliga partners, intervjuades. Materialet analyserades på ett tolkande, reflexivt sätt.

In using a qualitative method have I interviewed six women and six men taking care of their wives respectively husbands suffering from physical disease, disfunction or demental disease. The purpose was to find out whether male and female caretakers were differently influenced in their situation, relationship and in their partners, when they became caretakers of their spouse, depending on what the partner suffered from.The results showed that, when a husband or wife was hit by disease or disfunction, the caretaker was influenced both in the partners situation, the relationship and the role towards the partner. The couple still lived in a close relationship and could communicate. For the carers spouse suffered from a demental disease, there was no communication as before or possibility to remember. The carers also felt the loss of community, nearness and sympathy.

Denna uppsats tar avstamp i den hårda kritik som revisionsbyråerna, och revisionsbranschen i allmänhet, har fått under de senaste åren. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka revisorers lojaliteter och vilken vikt de lägger vid upprätthållandet av det professionella oberoendet. Vi undersöker även skillnader i lojaliteter och oberoende mellan två olika karriärsteg på revisionsbyråerna; partners och anställda. Studien är en kvalitativ intervjuserie på en av de fyra stora revisionsbyråerna i Sverige.Forskare har riktat kritik mot att revisionsbyråernas har fått ett ökat klientfokus och att revisorer lägger för stort fokus på den egna byråns mål. Vi ser dock inget i vår undersökning som tyder på att revisorers lojalitet till klienter eller byrån skulle vara starkare än upprätthållandet av det professionella oberoendet.

Social networks have increased significantly during the latest decades, but what does the cooperation include and how does the network processes look like? Networks are not specific for communities in the 2000?s or for that matter human organisations, but the ability to build networks and introduce more actors to the organisation have become easier with today?s communication technology. The study is about the Norrköping Municipality membership in the transnational network Sweden Emilia Romagna Network (SERN). It gives an insight into how networking and cooperation can be seen by politicians and officials, based on mission statements and the reason why a municipality choose to participate in transnational networks. The study aims to examine how Norrköping Municipality uses the SERN network and what the network have resulted in since the beginning of the municipality membership in 2005. It is a qualitative study which involves interviews with officials and politicians from the Municipality of Norrköping and textual material from SERN?s strategy documents and policies.
