Jag har som instrument- och ensemblelärare egna erfarenhet av nervositet och prestationsångest inför lektioner med mina elever och undrar om jag är ensam med dessa känslor. Jag har valt att fördjupa mig i begreppen stress, nervositet, ångest och coping genom att läsa litteratur inom personlighetspsykologi, klinisk psykologi, socialpsykologi, arbetspsykologi, idrottspsykologi, kognitiv psykologi och motivationspsykologi. Denna litteraturstudie ledde sedan fram till mitt syftet för min undersökning som är att ta reda på om instrument- och ensemblelärare blir nervösa i samband med lektioner och om de har tankegångar som kan leda till prestationsångest samt hur de hanterar sin nervositet. Som metod valde jag att göra en enkät som jag delade ut till 50 lärare. Resultatet visade att lite mer än hälften av lärarna blir nervösa och att det fanns en majoritet av negativa känslor i samband med nervositeten.

Bakgrund: Omvårdnad av döende och avlidna patienter sker inom flera av sjukvårdens områden. I mötet med denna patientgrupp konfronteras sjuksköterskan med sin egen syn på döden. Enligt litteraturen känner sjuksköterskan ofta sorg när en patient hon vårdat avlider. Sorgereaktionerna varierar och grundar sig i individens förhållningssätt till livet. Psykiskt påfrestande situationer kan bearbetas med hjälp av sjuksköterskans inre förmåga samt genom stöd från andra.

The music distribution in Sweden and the world is rapidly changing. The music industry, however, has been reluctant to change the way they distribute music. The consequence has been that illegal music files have been available for downloading to anyone with an Internet connection. Because of the illegal downloading a new law have been implemented in an attempt to stop this behaviour. Our theory is that in implementing the IPRED-law, the sites that were hosting most of the illegal material will experience a severe decrease in traffic.

Aim and research questionsThe over-all aim of this study was to gain insight info how two male coaches of a specific soccer team behave in a practice environment with regards to educating the players.More specifically, the study sought to map the extent to which said behaviour matched two specific methods of learning; these being Teaching Games for Understanding (TgfU) and Enhanced Guided Discovery (EGD). Research questions: (1) Do the coaches employ the methods and guidelines, which are outlined in the educational plan provided by the soccer association? If so, what form does this application take in practice? (2) To what extent and in what ways do the coaches utilize feedback and questioning techniques in the education of players? (3) What similarities and differences in behaviour can be identified between the chosen soccer team?s two coaches?Method: The data for the study was collected through field observation. The subjects were two youth elite soccer coaches and observation of these coaches took place during five regular practice sessions on the soccer field. All data gathering and analysis were carried out using a modified version of the Coach Analysis and Intervention System (CAIS).

Studien som utförts analyserar ur ett sociosemiotiskt och multimodalt perspektiv vilka resurser läromedlet "Insikter i svenska" använder sig av. Läromedlet är riktat mot ungdomar i första året på gymnasiet som läser en yrkesinriktad utbildning. Studien redogör för ett antal utgångspunkter för multimodal bildanalys och påvisar även att lärmedlet innehåll ett antal av dessa resurser. .

This work focuses on the relation between human and animals and especially on the relation between horses and human. I have brought up the human och horse relationsship, today, and in history and wrote about the behaviour of the horse. Some older studies with human and animal interaction, including animals like dog and cattle are discussed. I have also discussed physiological parameters that might influence the bond and the interaction between human and horse and some critical aspects concerning the methodology when studying this kind of physiology. The purpose of the experimental study was to analyze if common management routines and grooming of horses increases horses interest in making contact with humans. Many horse owners feel that they have a good connection with their horse and factors that can influence the relationsship could be physical contact, feeding or some challange that make the horse trust the human.

Tail-biting in pigs is an animal welfare issue and in Sweden during 2002 the producers lost tree million Swedish crowns because of tail biting. This economic loss depends on the pigs which are discarded at slaughter because of tail biting. Tail biting can be separated into two stages, "pre-injury" and "injury". The aim of this study is to investigate if tail biting depends on environment or genetic background.A lot of research on the environments effects on the behaviour of pigs but not so much on the genetic effects has been performed. The frequency of tail biting in pig farms influence among others of environment enrichment, ventilation, gender and breed of the pig.

When performing studies that test the reactions of horses in different situations, important information may be available about the horse?s reactivity level. With information from these tests, accidents and dangerous situations may be prevented. When the behaviours from tests are compared with race performance it may be possible to evaluate if some behaviours are more desirable at the race track than others. The aim of this study was to see if behavioural responses correlated with physiological parameters (heart rate, cortisol), the trainer?s opinions and actual race performance.

The horses have been in the care of humans for about 5000-7000 years. But even though the horses have been domesticated and artificial selected for such a long time their natural behaviours and instincts still remains. In the rich countries there are many people who have the opportunity to ride either on their own horses or at riding schools. Many of these people have not grown up on farms and have no experience of handling big animals. This can lead to implications of the horses? welfare.

This thesis examines the deregulation reform of the Swedish railroad industry, focusing on passenger transport between 1988 and 2005. The purpose of the thesis is to examine the effects from the deregulation reform on prices, market concentration and to determine whether SJ (the state owned incumbent) has been conducting strategic behaviour in order to prevent new entrants to the market. The chosen method consists of interviews with the MD at SJ between 1988 - 1998 Mr Karl-Erik Strand, the transportation researcher at SSE Mr Gunnar Alexandersson. Statistical sources and companies financial reports have also been used. The results that I have found were besides the fact that the market concentration is still significant high and the profitability among the operators low, is that the prices has increased more than CPI during the period but the competitive tendering has resulted in lower government subsidies after the deregulation.

This thesis examines political consumerism as a political tool for change. Consumers' attitudes and behaviour towards political consumerism is of special interest. The method used is a questionnaire with 59 participating students. Their answers are analysed both quantitatively and, to a lesser degree, qualitatively. The theoretical framework consists of Fishbein and Ajzen's theory of reasoned action and previously published research of essence.The consumers in this study generally rank corporate social responsibility (CSR) as important.

Denna studie, ?Att leva ovetandes i det tysta?, är skriven av Elin Edman och Elina Hedin och handlar om personer som har varit medberoende. Medberoende är ett omdiskuterat begrepp inom vetenskapen, men har tidigare inte haft så stort fokus i samhället. Istället har fokus legat på exempelvis missbrukare eller psykiskt sjuka, men inte på deras anhöriga som också är drabbade. Syftet med denna studie är att ta reda på om insikten om att vara medberoende, kan få anhöriga att hantera sin livssituation och relationen till den beroende och/eller psykiskt sjuka annorlunda.

Syftet med denna studie är att beskriva hur vuxna manliga barn har upplevt och hanterat situationer av att växa upp med en förälder som har psykiska funktionsnedsättningar. Våra frågeställningar utgörs av: Hur upplevde och hanterade vuxna manliga barn till föräldrar med psykisk funktionsnedsättning sin uppväxt? samt Hur har upplevelsen och hanterandet av uppväxten påverkat vuxna manliga barn till föräldrar med psykisk funktionsnedsättning som vuxna? För att kunna svara på frågeställningarna har vi använt oss av en kvalitativ metod och intervjuat fem vuxna manliga barn som haft en sådan uppväxt. Intervjuerna har sedan analyserats genom ett fenomenologiskt förhållningssätt och därmed har vi återberättat informanternas utsagor istället för att tolka dessa. Denna analys har utgått från det empiriska materialet som sedan har kopplats till de valda tidigare forskningarna och teoretiska utgångspunkter.

Syftet med detta arbete var att beskriva situationen för föräldrar till barn med medfött hjärtfel. Denna studie riktade in sig på föräldrarnas livskvalitet, de copingstrategier de använde sig av i vardagen för att hantera situationen, det sociala stöd de ansåg att de får, samt hur sjukdomen påverkar familjen..
