Skolsköterskans arbete är en viktig del i det hälsofrämjande arbetet då forskning visar att den psykiska ohälsan hos elever ökar vilket kan leda till sämre prestationsförmåga eller att eleverna inte klarar av att slutföra sina studier. Syftet med studien var att beskriva skolsköterskans upplevelse vid arbetet med att främja högstadieelevers psykiska hälsa. Sex skolsköterskor från två kommuner i Skåne intervjuades efter ett strategiskt urval utifrån demografisk data. Intervjutexterna bearbetades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultatet i studien presenteras med ett övergripande tema; samverkan och god organisation med ett elevcentrerat perspektiv för att främja den psykiska hälsan som är en förutsättning för att det hälsofrämjande arbetet skall kunna bedrivas framgångsrikt.

This work is a study of subject teachers in social studies and science understand the concept of sustainable development. The work uses a qualitative and a quantitative approach. Teachers in various schools and stages have been answering questions about how they perceive sustainability, how they implement it in teaching and if they feel that school is important for the future of sustainable development at large.The theoretical background is based on environmental ethics as well as the different meanings and definitions of the concept of sustainable development. These theories and definitions are coupled with the empirical results.The study concludes that all teachers throughout the study perceive the concept of sustainable development as something ecological, something that has to do with nature. A few teachers also state economic and social dimensions.Questions about how the teachers in the study implement the concept in their teaching can be seen as three different approaches.

The aim of this thesis was to explore and analyze the sponsored debates on Newsmill, so called seminars. How does the sponsor use Newsmills seminars for marketing purposes? Who is allowed to write in Newsmills seminars?To answer these questions we used both a quantitative survey and a qualitative survey.To examine how the sponsors use Newsmills seminars for marketing purposes we conducted a qualitative analysis which included three of the eleven seminars - a total of 26 articles. We examined how the sponsors conveyed the picture of themselves and if the written content in Newsmills seminars contained any hidden marketing. We could see that the sponsor has a great deal of influence on the seminars and also used them to market their brand with hybrid messages.

The aim of this study was to determine to what degree the framing of the political party the Sweden Democrats had changed in swedish media, from 2010 in contrast to 2012. Particular interest was directed towards the framing of the party as a problem.This was done by studying the news articles during 12 weeks in 2010, and 12 weeks in 2012, in the newspapers Aftonbladet and Expressen. These particular newspapers were especially interesting to study since they have been outspokenly critical of the party. Both of the newspapers can be said to be among the most clearly critical towards the Sweden Democrats.I studied 256 published articles retrieved through the news database Newsline. Quantitative content analysis was used to determine patterns and tendencies.

Using interviews conducted within the municipality of Nam Dich, Vietnam, this qualitative study explores how ethnic minority parents and children navigate around the state's supervision in order to preserve their traditional practices of child marriages. Moreover, the research explores the roles and expectations between individuals within an ethnic minority family as a collective unit. Using governmentality supported by the concept of state evasion, culture bearers and empowerment, I argue that understanding child marriage as a phenomenon requires analysis of cultural context. The paper starts with an introduction of the ongoing relation between the Vietnamese state and ethnic minority traditions related to child marriage. While the Vietnamese state ?s modernization projects aim to empower individuals by creating more freedom within the process of marriage and increasing the opportunity for education and work, certain ethnic minority groups want to uphold their cultural ways of marriage when parental arrangement occurs from an early age.

Fysisk inaktivitet är ett folkhälsoproblem som växer i omfattning och människor världen över dör för tidigt i följdsjukdomar som hjärt-kärlsjukdomar och diabetes. Fysisk aktivitet förbättrar människors fysiska och psykiska hälsa och är behandling vid flera ohälsotillstånd som till exempel högt blodtryck och psykisk ohälsa. Distriktssköterskor arbetar hälsopreventivt och detta är en betydelsefull del av distriktssköterskors arbete på barnavårdscentralen (BVC). Föräldrar och deras utövande av fysisk aktivitet är ett forskningsområde som är otillräckligt utforskat. Studiens syfte var därför att belysa fysisk aktivitet ur ett föräldraperspektiv.

The topic of this essay is core value issues, how they are mediated in school and how they are practiced. I am investigating a problem concerning the existential worth of the core values-content for children, or in other words, the difficulty of reconciling the theory of the core values and their practice. This problem is portrayed by two stories. The aim of this work is to investigate how to combine the core values theory with its practice, in other words, make it meaningful. In my essay, I turn to recent research in the field to provide a background to my issue, and hereby further point to my problem.

Bakgrund: Övervikt ökar idag bland svenska barn och skolsköterskor inom elevhälsan har en viktig del i arbetet för att få ner barns övervikt.   Syfte: Beskriva skolsköterskors erfarenheter av hälsofrämjande arbete med övervikt hos elever i högstadiet och gymnasiet. Metod: Nio skolsköterskor har intervjuats individuellt med hjälp av semistrukturerade intervjuer. Intervjuerna analyserades utifrån en innehållsanalys. Kategorier och subkategorier utformades sedan för att få en överblick av skolsköterskornas erfarenheter. Resultat: Skolsköterskorna möter vanligtvis eleverna vid hälsosamtalet och detta samtal är ofta grunden till hälsoarbetet när de har identifierat övervikt hos eleven.

The empirical data that lies behind this survey comes from field work between 1992 and 1995. This field work represents work I made myself as a sales-man for the company, Malmberg Original Water. The task was to implement the Malmberg mineral water brand on the restaurant market of the South-Swedish area. Our aim was to reach the upper-scale, premium market of restaurants. The mission was successfully completed, and at 1996 we had completed the position as the most exclusively positioned mineral water brand in Skåne (Southernmost Sweden).

In this study, I have examined the previous Social Democratic government?s communication with the voters, focusing on its promises during election campaigns, and the presentation of achieved results. The theories used are the mandate- and sanction theory; the first focuses on voters comparing manifestos to find the most agreeable, whilst the latter concentrates on voters evaluation the work of the previous government, to either discharge or support it. For the sanction theory to work, voters must have the necessary information to evaluate the government in progress. The question is; did the previous government provide the voters with such information?This has been done through scrutinizing the Social Democrats? election manifestos that was used between 1994 and 2006, to examine what the party promised to achieve in economics and the labor market.

WHO rekommenderar hälso- och sjukvården att bli mer hälsofrämjande. Däremot visar forskning att hälso- och sjukvården inte lever upp till denna rekommendation. Landstinget Västmanland har dock gjort en satsning på det hälsofrämjande arbetet. Fyra hälsocenter har etablerats i länet till följd av detta. Syftet med denna uppsats var att undersöka hur personalen vid dessa hälsocenter upplevde sina förutsättningar att jobba hälsofrämjande med kost- och motionsvanor.

This is an interview- and literature study that discusses teaching about the Second World War and the Holocaust, while working with the basic values in grade 7-9.The purpose with this examination is to see how teachers of history in grade 7-9 choose to teach about the Second World War and the Holocaust, how they work to integrate the basic values in their education and whether the teachers? education can be sustained by the Swedish school curricula.In this study I?ve been doing qualitative interviews with five teachers of history in grade 7-9 from different schools.
