This paper analyses the potential extent of labour mobility in the European Union after the eastern enlargement that took place in 2004, but focuses on movements from the 10 new member countries to the old EU -members. In this study, a number of economic models are used to investigate if there is a large potential for labour mobility in the enlarged EU and also if this potential has large effects on mobility in reality. The potential for labour mobility is, to a large extent, discussed in terms of theoretical migrating incitements for workers and different types of labour migration obstacles. Many factors indicate that such large potential for migration actually exists, mainly due to high difference in wages and unemployment and because of the common EU market. At the same time, the presence of natural and constructed obstacles is likely to restrict migration for a long period of time..

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka de kognitiva och emotionella reaktioner som sker under långvarig stress. Uppsatsen är inspirerad av en kvalitativ ansats, hermeneutiken. Forskningsmetoden är en fallstudie där två person har blivit intervjuad på djupet i området. I bakgrund och tidigare forskning finns kognitiva och emotionella reaktioner som sker under långvarig stress. Några av dessa reaktioner är depression, ångest, ilska, irritabilitet, försvarsberedskap, minnesstörningar, koncentrationssvårigheter, talstörningar och organisationsproblematik.

The main focus of this study was to investigate how Swedish military veterans experience that events during an international service affect them after completed mission. This also includes the contact with their relatives. Secondly, this study deals with the course of the crisis, personal defense mechanisms, cumulative stress and post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD).The study was performed using a qualitative method and comprises individual interviews with six Swedish veterans. The responders were all men of different military positions, who participated in one or more international missions during 1993 to 2011.The results of this study show that, according to the veterans, the return back home is the most strenuous part of an international mission. With all the new experiences that an international service brings fresh in their memories, it is hard to re-adjust to the life of a civilian.In connection with the return back home, different degrees of stress reactions were also commonly seen, for example sleep disturbance, restlessness and exhaustion.

Fleets have the ability to affect an adversary?s use of the seas for transportation. Nations have in numerous occasions exercised this power in order to ravage their opponent?s trade in times of conflict with the purpose of diminishing their military might. Great naval thinkers like Mahan and Corbett have described this use of seapower during conflicts in great depth but theories regarding the use of seapower to affect a nation?s peacetime economy in order to achieve limited political goals is lacking.

Stress och utbrändhet har blivit allt mer vanligt i vår vardag och en stor bidragande faktor är arbetet. Flertal studier visar att arbetet är högt relaterat till stress och utbrändhet, specifikt i läraryrket. Dock har yrket fritidspedagoger glömts i dagens undersökningar vilket föreliggande studie anser som ett problemområde. Intentionen med undersökningen är därför att få en förståelse för ohälsa, som handlar om stress och utbrändhet bland fritidspedagoger. Studien grundas på en kvalitativ metod, som har utgått från sex semistrukturerade intervjuer.

Anspänning, oro och stress är tre begrepp som har studerats länge, vilket har gett upphov till flertalet modeller, teorier och domäner där dessa begrepp har studerats och fortfarande studeras. I denna uppsats så kommer dessa tre begrepp bland annat att redogöras för var för sig med koppling till mätmetoder, idrott och kognitiv neurovetenskap. Syftet med uppsatsen är att beskriva hur idrottsprestationer kan påverkas av anspänning, oro och stress för att utifrån det kunna redogöra för evidensbaserade metoder som kan appliceras för att främja en idrottsprestation. Först kommer anspänning att redogöras för, anspänning följs sedan av oro som i sin tur följs av stress som sista begrepp. Avslutningsvis så behandlas även problematik och möjligheter för dessa begrepp inom forskningsfältet och dess tillämpningsområden..

Stress och stressrelaterade sjukdomar är ett problem i dagens samhälle och de som främst är drabbade är unga människor. Stressen är dessutom ojämnställt fördelad då kvinnor drabbas värre än män. För studenter kan stress vara en faktor som påverkar deras studieprestation negativt. Syftet med studien var att undersöka självupplevd stress bland högskolestudenter på Mälardalens högskola samt analysera om det finns skillnader avseende kön och utbildningsprogram. Studien hade en kvantitativ ansats där en tvärsnittsdesign användes.

It is popular to keep reptiles as pets in Swedish households. The number of households reporting reptile ownership is more than 15 000 (SCB, 2006). This means that a veterinary practice should consider how to take care of reptiles as patients. The aim of this study was to examine literature and studies concerning safe handling and restraint of reptiles as well as the effects of acute and long term stress response and to suggest a simplified plan for handling reptiles in a veterinary practice. The result of literary studies is that common recommendations for safe handling and restraint of reptiles is based on old techniques and experiences from safe handling of wild animals. The main concern is safety for the veterinary nurse and for the reptile. Stress studies indicate that acute stress response is not harmful for the animal i long term. On the other hand studies of the effect of prolonged stress are not conclusive.

In recent years more and more people have been sick-listed due to stress and it has happened to more women than men. The purpose of this paper is to see if recoveringfrom stress related states of ill-health can be promoted through participation in a stress management course. Five women who were or had been sick-listed and had participated in the life management course were interviewed. The results show that the course was an important forum for expressing emotions. The participants were more positive about the future after than before they entered the course.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between physical activity and perceived stress, energy and musculoskeletal disorders among office-workers and warehouse-workers and also to see if there were any differences depending on work-place and gender. The method that was used to collect data was three different validated questionnaires that measured stress and energy (the Stress-Energy questionnaire), musculoskeletal disorders (intensity and localization of pain, a Pain Drawing questionnaire with a VAS-scale) and physical activity (IPAQ ? the short version). Eighty-eight workers participated in the study. Forty-seven of them were office-workers and forty-one were warehouse-workers.

This study aims to find out what relationship high school students have to social networks at the Internet. This has been done by focusing on norms/standards that adolescents can feel under stress to achieve, through stressing themselves by social networks in a way that is consistent with the norms. The empirical data has been gathered by questionnaires which have been answered by adolescents in randomly selected schools and classes in a medium size Swedish town, Karlskrona. The result showed that all of the participating adolescents have user accounts on a social network. Furthermore it also emerged that a lot of the adolescents thought that norms existed that should be followed in a social network about how to stress oneself.

Syftet med föreliggande studie är att beskriva sjuksköterskors upplevelser av etisk stress i omvårdnadsarbetet. Detta för att visa på den komplexitet och synliggöra de svårigheter som sjuksköterskeprofessionens arbetsvillkor medför, en värdefull kunskap ur såväl patientperspektiv, sjuksköterskeperspektiv som ur ett samhällsperspektiv. Sjuksköterskeprofessionen styrs av lagar och etiska riktlinjer för att säkerställa en god omvårdnad. Omvårdnad är i grunden ett etiskt uppdrag, som i en bristfällig vårdrelation kan leda till lidande för såväl patienten som för sjuksköterskan. Aktuell forskning visar att uppkomsten av etisk stress hos sjuksköterskor förekommer i åtskilliga vårdkontexter.

Foreign direct investment (FDI) is widely regarded as a significant catalyst for economic development especially in emerging and developing economies. While previous research has found different effects from foreign direct investments in different countries this study aims to explore the varying effects of FDI in Serbia and Montenegro. The study focuses on how FDI influences key economic indicators, specifically GDP per capita and employment rates, in the context of their aspirations to join the European Union (EU). Employing a comparative approach, the thesis examines the differing trajectories of Montenegro and Serbia in utilizing FDI for economic advancement. The research reveals that while Serbia shows significant positive correlation between FDI and both GDP per capita and employment rates, Montenegro displays no significant relationship in these aspects.

Gunnarsson, A & Henriksson, A (2008) Lärare, stress och coping: Om passiva och aktiva copingstrategier. B-uppsats i pedagogik 7,5 hp. Institutionen för pedagogik, didaktik och psykologi. Abstract Syftet med denna undersökning var att utforska vilken coping av passiv och aktiv som lärare på en högskola i Sverige uppger att de använder sig av. Lärares stress och copingstrategier är ett område som har uppmärksammats länge och majoriteten av forskarna på området menar att strategin passiv coping i störst utsträckning används av lärare (Pomaki & Anagnostopoulou, 2003; Rieg et al., 2007, Griva & Joekes, 2003; och Markham, 2000).
