Bakgrund: Bröstcancer är en av de vanligaste cancersjukdomarna hos kvinnor. Behandlingen av bröstcancerpatienter var mer likartad förr men idag är den mer varierande. Vid bröstcancerdiagnos utlöses en livskris och patienten hamnar i chocktillstånd. Enligt Cullberg (2003) påbörjar detta en process bestående av fyra olika faser: chockfasen, reaktionsfasen, bearbetningsfasen och nyorienteringsfasen. Att få diagnosen innebär en stor omställning i kvinnornas liv och de har alla olika behov av information och emotionellt stöd under hela sjukdomsförloppet.

The pre-school is seen by many as the place where children get equipped for the future and the challenges there of. One of the most important aims according of the curriculum for Swedish preschools is that children get the opportunity, in interaction with the pedagogues, to develop their identity and to feel secure and satisfied with themself. Although, in the curriculum of the Swedish preschool system there is a comprehensive focus on the children?s competencies and learning, the importance that the children feel secure is not that prominent. Consequently a paradox occurs between the focus on children?s competencies and their need for care.

The aim of this study was to investigate if behaviour, ear positions and cortisol in lamb which were given access to play followed the different phases of the reward cycle of anticipation, consumption and relaxation. The study was done on 8 Dorset and 12 Dorset x Fine Wool uncastrated male lambs with an average age of 10 weeks. The lambs were housed pairwise in litter pens (2 x 3 m). Pairs of lambs were taken to a play arena (5.9 x 5.5 m) three times a week during five weeks (first week for learning). They were then first kept in a holding pen where they could look into the play arena for 5 minutes and thereafter released for 20 minutes in the play arena which had a ball, two chains and a tunnel.

In recent years e-commerce has experienced a big increase in usage. Internet however, cannot offer the same level of personal contact as traditional shops can.E-commerce is characterized by impersonal and standardized web shops that do not stimulate any emotional connection between the customer and the company. Without this personal contact with the customer the possibilities for the company to stimulate loyalty decreases. Loyalty however, is as important in e-commerce as it is in traditional commerce. The authors of this paper chose the following problem for the study:What marketing strategies are fortunate for e-commerce companies to use to create loyal customers?To research this subject the authors saw it fit to combine qualitative and quantitative research methods.

In the 90's the establishment of external trade centers had a strong growth in Sweden, primarily in large and medium cities. Gradually took smaller towns by this development. In larger cities with larger and growing customer base than in small towns were not affected by the trade centers heavily, but in the smaller towns where the customer base was smaller, there was a risk that it created a negative competitive relationship between external trade center and trade in the citycenter. In some cases, competition is a positive development for both the citycenter and external trade areas, but in some cases there was a risk that the center became impoverished. In such situation there are theories that the different variety of different types of goods should be at the center and in external trade center could lead to a balanced trade relationship.

The aim of this study was to create a greater understanding of apostates, by analyzing narratives of five ex-members regarding their exit from Jehovah?s Witnesses. I conducted interviews to gather descriptions from specific individuals in relation to their experiences, mainly focusing on the role of an ex-member of a specific group. The informants in the study were 38-73 years old, three women and two men. The empirical data I collected was later coded through qualitative content analysis, where central topics and themes formed the basis for the analysis of the results.

Consumers today seek added value to the ordinary products/services that companies are offering. Consumers must get their emotional need satisfied - a need for experiences worth remembering. At the same time, the consumers are engaged in ethics and morals. Companies use events frequently as a marketing approach to meet the customer?s demand of added value.

Under de senaste decennierna har det inom HR (Human Resources) skett en domänutvidgning, där allt större ansvar tas för fler aspekter av människors liv. Man får ofta ett intryck av att det finns ett genuint intresse för människors liv och hälsa bortom arbetet. Ett grundläggande antagande inom HR är emellertid att välmående individer leder till en ökad produktivitet. Därigenom finns en otydlighet i det egentliga syftet med de av arbetsgivarnas aktiviteter som syftar till människors hälsa och välmående. Det finns därmed anledning att närmre studera de idéer om människors arbete, tid och liv som cirkulerar inom HR.HR som kunskapsområde och branch är dock svårt att fånga i ett enda empiriskt material.

This essay examines the narrative aspect of interactive fiction. The study uses Janet H. Murrays analysis of the digital environment and the properties of it as procedural, participatory, spatial and encyclopedic. From this, her three characteristic pleasures in digital narratives - immersion, agency and transformation - are examined from the perspective of interactive fiction. The study also examines Nick Montforts analysis of interactive fiction as a potential narrative and a simulated world or environment.

Hunden och människan har levt med varandra i ca 15 000 år och vår relation har ständigt utvecklats. Det finns mycket forskning som bevisar de positiva hälsoeffekter som hundar har på människor, men vad betyder vår relation för hunden? Vad får den ut av det hela? Syftet med denna rapport är att beskriva hur hundar tolkar vår icke-verbala kommunikation, hur mycket den förstår och påverkas av vår sinnesstämning, vad ägaren betyder för hunden och vad vi som hundägare kan göra praktiskt för att påverka hunden positivt. Hundar har ett naturligt sätt att förstå våra signaler, hur subtila eller tydliga de må vara, pekningar som blickar. Hundar kan urskilja detaljer i vårt ansiktsuttryck och förstå när vi är glada och föredra den känslan över när vi är neutrala, äcklade eller rädda. De reagerar t ex på ett specifikt sätt när vi gråter, men i dagsläget är det svårt att säga vad det är hunden reagerar på.

Denna studie handlar om invandrare med olika akademisk bakgrund såsom exempelvis läkare, ingenjörer, jurister, lärare, revisorer och sjuksköterskor. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka upplevelser hos invandrare med akademisk utbildning, i vilken de har fått med sig från sina hemländer. Vi vill således se hur deras situation ser ut på den svenska arbetsmarknaden, avseende inkludering och strategi. Därtill vill vi ta reda på informanternas synpunkter på möjligheterna att lyckas eller misslyckas med att etablera sig inom ett kvalificerat yrkesområde. Vi har använt oss utav en kvalitativ metod.Valda teorier lyfter upp relevanta synpunkter för inkludering på arbetsmarknaden hos invandrarakademiker i denna studie.

The purpose of this report was to examine the schools views on its task to form good citizens and also the work with children and their souls and feelings. My question of issue was:? Which are the conditions from where you work with feelings and forming good citizens in school?In the Swedish learning curriculum for the compulsory grades, Lpo 94, there is a lot to be read about the schools task to form good citizens and human beings. One can also read that the schools have to work with the feelings of its pupils and also the issue of values. The results of my report show that the school has a responsibility to support the family?s work with the upbringing and the personal growth of their children.

This study focuses on romantic friendship between women in three Swedish novels written between 1836 and 1857: Sophie von Knorring?s (1797?1848) Illusionerna (1836), Fredrika Bremer?s (1801?1865) En dagbok (1843) and Marie Sophie Schwartz? (1819?1894) En fåfäng mans hustru (1857). Also, the connection between women and passion as well as the interesting occurrence of step- and foster mothers is looked upon in the study.The romantic friendship is freely expressed in these novels; love between women is neither presented as unnatural or unchaste. It both challenges the heterosexual matrix? claim on intelligibility and its rules for how desire should be expressed.

The physical objects are examined with Bill Brown?s Thing Theory as "things" that stop working for humans, when their flow within the circuits of production and distribution, consumption and exhibition is arrested, however momentarily.
