In the future the Swedish pension system will face major problems. With an increasing aging population combined with a decreasing share of working population the financing of the pension system is becoming a bigger problem than previously predicted.

It has been shown that a large proportion of the people who invests for their future pension have neither the interest nor the time to actively invest their pension capital. To make it easier for those who invest for their retirement, some Swedish banks have created so-called generation funds.

The study addresses the field of design as a profession and examines the views on strategic management in a design project among nine selected graphic designers. The graphic designers who participate in the study are permanently employed at design companies in Stockholm. The study has a qualitative approach and the method is based on face-to-face interviews.

Affektens händelseförlopp är automatisk och är den biologiska delen av en känsla, som till exempel rädsla och skam. De positiva affekterna innehåller ett metabudskap av ?fortsätt?, de negativa affekterna ett metabudskap av att ?ändra på någonting?. Affekten skam sätter igång olika försvarsmekanismer, som är till för att reducera denna negativa kraft. De försvarsmekanismer som studien diskuterar är Nathanson´s teoretiska konstruktion som konceptuellt kan liknas vid en kompass (the Compass of Shame).

Ger ett högre BMI negativa konsekvenser hos medelålders människor? Studien har analyserat svar från 6434 individer mellan 27 och 85 år (M 56.98, sd 10,54) i Sverige för att undersöka om BMI påverkar deras sömnvanor, copingbeteende, motionsvanor, sociala nätverk, utbildning och psykiska hälsa. Genom en enkätundersökning har data samlats in och analyserats för att svara på denna fråga. Efter en korrelationsmätning av variabler följt av en multipel regressionsanalys visar det sig att det finns ett signifikant korrelationssamband mellan BMI och sömnapné (p = 0,018), motionsvanor (p = 0,000), Utbildning (p = 0,000), Kön (p = 0,000) samt öppen coping med chefer eller arbetsledare (p = 0,003). Det verkar som att BMI påverkar människor olika beroende på ålder, då flera resultat säger emot tidigare forskning som baserats på yngre individer.

The results from 13 interviews and one opinion poll answered by resident physicians were interpreted as stories about identity as primary material for this thesis. The resident physicians stress the importance of considering whether their work primarily concerns curing people from diseases or if the process of working with sick people also includes how to handle the pressure of work, either by adapting to it or changing it, and the search for balance between work and private life. Residents separate themselves from older physicians by saying that younger physicians accentuate empathy to a greater extent while older physicians emphasise a high work load. Identity seems to effect how the residents perceive and relate to their work, themselves as residents and different types of patients..
