The study - Hur skapas en journalist? - examines why so many people choose to turn tothe journalist profession when the conditions for a secure position on the labor market ispoor. The study also highlights how recently graduated journalist perceives their temporary and insecure position on the labor market.The study was performed trough ten biographical interviews with recently graduated journalists. Via the interviews I examined what has formed the individuals to perceive journalism as a rational or pragmatic choice for a career. The study shows that journalists, who come from families with high cultural capital, have been shaped by a particular culture of education, which focuses on education as a step towards selfrealization.

This thesis primarily includes a study on whether companies can develop a mathematical activity that supports students' motivation in mathematics. The work was done together with Midroc Electro, a company that pays attention to the difficulty of recruiting and therefore was interested in investigating how the business world would be able to contribute.The thesis can be divided into three stages. The first part comprised by a exploration into research on student motivation regarding mathematics as well as numerous interviews with engineers to see how the research findings did fit with Midroc Electros reality. In these studies it became clear that the student who aims for a profession whose education or work requires math belongs to the group of students who primarily manage their studies in mathematics, that is, those that have the greatest motivation to work hard and complete their studies.Research information and interviews were compared and resulted in the thesis second part, Midroc Challenge. An activity where students primarily came to learn about the engineering profession and secondly how mathematics can be used in the engineering profession.

In Sweden the latest curriculum, Lpo 94 was released in 1994. This document revolutionized the teaching profession. The school system was changed from a governmental control into a communal control. The earlier curriculums were controlled by rules; Lpo 94 is controlled by aims. This has led to a big spectrum of teaching styles which all of them agrees with the Lpo 94.Our purpose with this report is to illustrate two different leadershipstyles regarding the subject Swedish.

Detta examensarbete är en kvalitativ studie med övergripande syfte att undersöka hur pass vanligt förekommande det är att lärare verkar drivas av ett kall i sin yrkesutövning. Utgångspunkten för undersökningen är två lärartyper; läraren som ser sitt yrke som ett kall och läraren som ser sitt yrke som en profession. Att se sitt yrke som ett kall förknippas bland annat med svårigheter med att distansera sig från sitt yrke på fritiden och att man känner skuldkänslor eller dåligt samvete i anknytning till yrkesutövningen. Resultatet från detta examensarbete antyder att förhållandevis få lärare verkar drivas av ett kall i sin yrkesutövning. Skuldkänslor eller dåligt samvete i anknytning till yrket verkar inte heller vara vanligt förekommande..

Kaniner tillhör ordningen lagomorfer. Alla tänder hos kaninen är aradikullärt/elodont hypsodonta vilket betyder att de har en lång krona och förhållandevis kort rot. Det formas aldrig någon egentlig rot med apex och tänderna fortsätter att växa under kaninens hela livstid. När kaninen äter plockar den föda med läpparna och klipper eller skär den i mindre bitar med incisiverna och mal sedan maten med kindtänderna. En kanin med normalt incisivbett som normalt äter en för tänderna slipande diet så som hö, gräs och färsk grönska, nöter ner tänderna i ungefär samma takt som de växer till.

The purpose of this thesis is to reach a deeper understanding of the context of teachers? information seeking. Research in the role of the library in a learning perspective is in demand. To reach our aim we investigate what teachers say about their experiences of the user training during their studies and what effect it had on their information seeking as teachers. We interviewed four teachers and analyzed the transcripts of their sayings about their experiences of their information seeking during their education and a teaching profession.

Kommunikation är en stor del av sjukvården och det utväxlas varje dag tusentals budskap. Detta medför stora risker för säkerheten och vikten av att sjuksköterskan och läkaren har en bra kommunikation är tydlig. Att reflektera över sin egen del i kommunikationen och se till att rätt information överförs på ett bra och effektivt sätt är en del i sjuksköterskans profession. Syftet med studien var att belysa faktorer som underlättar och försvårar kommunikationen mellan sjuksköterskor och läkare. Det gjordes en kvalitativ litteraturstudie som innebar en granskning av åtta vetenskapliga artiklar med en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultatet visade uppskattning och ett tillmötesgående med den andra professionen, att kunna lyssna, jobba i ett likvärdigt team, ha en kunskap om den andres profession, känna tillit och att få vara en del i besluten kring patientvården var underlättande faktorer för att få en fungerande kommunikation. När sjuksköterskan uteslöts ut beslutsfattandet, när man inte hade kunskap om den andres profession, olika härkomst och bakgrund och när man enbart kommunicerade via datorn försvårades kommunikationen. Resultatet visar på att båda parter i relationen bör få lika stor plats och deras kunskaper bör vara lika mycket värda för att en bra kommunikation ska uppstå.

The purpose of this paper is to explore how practicing teachers have included their education in their teaching profession. The five teachers who were interviewed expressed that they lack experience in dealing with administrative issues, conflict management, parental contact and how to manage stress. There has been prior research on how teachers perceive their everyday working lives. Those results showed that teachers are becoming stressed by not knowing how to handle certain situations.My results showed that the teachers were to busy so they created their own methods on how to deal with phenomena that the education have not treated or discussed. The interviews were analyzed with the help of two constructivist concept, authenticity and activity .Authenticity focuses on knowledge is created and constructed by everyday situations.

Ungdomar i Norrbotten har en allt mer liberal syn på narkotika och elevhälsan på skolan träffar ungdomar dagligen. Jag valde att avgränsa mig till en grupp på elevhälsan, skolsköterskorna. Syftet med uppsatsen är att se hur skolsköterskornas arbete med elever som är positiv till eller använder narkotika fungera, behöver de mer kunskaper, vad kan förbättras/ förändras och hur bemöter de ungdomarna. Jag har valt en kvalitativ metod där jag har gjort semistrukturerade intervjuer med sex stycken skolsköterskor från två olika kommuner i Norrbotten, intervjuerna har analyserats med hjälp av diskursanalys. Professionsteorin används i bakgrunden och förklarar skolsköterskans profession samt hur arbetet sett ut från arbete med sjuka människor till att vara mer fokuserade på friskfaktorer.

This study was focused to highlight the problems that comes with being a minority on a workplace, in this case female sports journalist who are working in a male dominated sports field. The objective was to find out how the female sports journalist was experiencing working in such a domain, with focus on journalists who works on local news papers. The study also wanted to look on how these workplaces incorporated gender in their daily work.       In combination with gender theory, with concepts as masculine hegemony and power structures, I also choose to apply the american researcher Rosabeth M Kanters concept ?token?. With these aspects in mind I analyzed the five interviews that I carried out with female sports journalist with a qualitative data analysis.           The results of the study showed that the female sports journalist in some aspects were aware of the difficulties of being a woman in a male dominated area ? when they were talking about the profession at large.

The background of this paper is the dual role that the social worker can have, of beeing both supportive and controlling in the meeting with clients. It is also about the power the social worker can have, how they handle the power in their profession and how they remain to it in the relationship with the client. The study is qualitative and built on interviews with eight social workers that work in different areas in the social services. We have chosen to see this dual role as if the social workers have to, in their daily work, handle the roles as one authority role and one supportive role towards the client.The purpose of this study is to understand how the dual role as the social worker has in the profession, as a helper and a authority, is expressed in the work and relationship with the client. We have turned this purpose into two questions: How do social workers with authority remain to the dual roles of the profession? How do the social workers describe and understand power?We don´t want to generalize in this study, we want to give an example of the social workers own experiences about the dual role.
