The main goal of this project was to develop some sort of a diverter for pipestransporting waste in a vacuum system. This unit was supposed to be both cheap andeasy to serve/exchange worn out parts. With a limited space to install the pipeexchanger, the challenge was to keep it as compact as possible without constructingbends with to small radius or to sharp angles as this would wear out the system a lotfaster than planned. The system was also supposed to be able to handle clothes andscrubs from hospitals. Having too much sharp edges or angles would tear the clothesapart.

The purpose of this essay is to examine and compare the news covering of Swedens three biggest cities (the metropolitan areas) and their surrounding areas with the covering of the rest of the country (the provincial areas) in two daily national newspapers, Aftonbladet and Dagens Nyheter. The aim has been to answer the following questions:- What amount of the news coverage in Aftonbladet and Dagens Nyheter concern the metropolitan areas compared to the provincial areas, and how do these two newspapers differ in the news covering of these areas?- Is there a difference in the news articles size and content, depending on weather they concern the metropolitan or the provincial areas?- How has the balance between news concerning metropolitan and provincial areas changed over the recent 20 years?The theories used in this study are News values, the media commercialization and Popular Journalism, and The Agenda Setting Theory. The method that has been used is a Quantitative Content Analysis.Despite the essays hypothesis, that the news coverage in the two newspapers would be dominated by material from the metropolitan areas, the result showed that a majority of the examined articles concern the provincial areas. It also showed that Aftonbladet has a bigger percentage of provincial news than Dagens Nyheter.

Inom alla vårdformer möts patienter och vårdare. En viktig komponent i det vårdande mötet som presenteras i olika omvårdnadsteorier är att vårdaren är närvarande i mötet med hela sitt jag. Då kan patienten känna sig sedd och hörd samt känna att vårdaren är delaktig. Studiens syfte var att belysa hur närvarandet framträder i ett vårdande möte. Vår studie utgår från en kvalitativ metodansats med fem vetenskapliga artiklar som analyseras med hjälp av innehållsanalys.

AbstractThis report has been developed in cooperation with Peab Region Bostad Göteborg, mentor at Krook& Tjäder (through Chalmers), and examiner at Chalmers University of Technology. The report is the result of a research of a building project, constructed by Peab. The report is investigating and it means to identify and evaluate qualities in the dwelling and its surroundings. Its purpose is to evaluate how the residents in a chosen housing cooperative enjoy living there. It shall, with help of chosen quality aspects, identify what expectations the residents had before moving in, how they experience the dwelling and its surroundings today, and what hopes they have for the future planning of the area.

Leken är otroligt viktig för vår utveckling och hur vi fungerar som sociala människor. I leken tar vi in de erfarenheter som vi upplevt och utvecklar dessa i gemenskap med andra. Vår kulturella och sociala bakgrund formar oss till den vi är. Hur mycket syns denna bakgrund i leken, är vi jämlika när vi leker? Forskare säger att leken är otrolig betydelsefull för den sociala kompetensen, då man lär sig empati, vänta på sin tur samt att fungera i grupp.

Tysta och blyga barn är ofta de som lämnas åt sidan eller får vänta med att få sina behov tillgodosett. Som fritidspedagog är det en viktig uppgift att insocialisera barn i gemenskap, men hur gör man med barn som inte vill? Hur handskas man med barn som föredrar att vara för sig själva? I vilken grad ska deras önskan respekteras och när blir insocialisering ett värde som bör överordnas barnets fria val?I denna essä undersöker jag hur jag som fritidspedagog kan förstå dessa barns behov och förhålla mig till dem utifrån begreppen barnperspektiv respektive barns perspektiv, barns delaktighet, inflytandet och bästa. Jag kommer att utgå från några problem från min egen arbetslivserfarenhet och belysa dem med hjälp av olika synsätt som objekt- och aktörsperspektiv och symbolisk interaktionism..

Tidigare forskningsresultat har visat att nätverkande bland egna företagare utvecklar så väl den egna personen som personens egna företag. Dock saknas forskning när det gäller hur stöd kan upplevas inom nätverk. Studiens syfte var att skapa en förståelse för hur socialt stöd från ett nätverk upplevs av kvinnliga företagare. Deltagarna var 15 kvinnor inom olika branscher mellan åldrarna 26-65 år. Intervjuer transkriberades, meningskoncentrerades och tematiserades utifrån ett fenomenologiskt perspektiv.

Belöningssystem används flitigt i arbetslivet men forskningen kring dess effekter på anställda ha varit snål. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur ekonomisk belöning uppfattas av fastighetsmäklare samt vilken effekt det kan ha på deras motivation, prestation och lojalitet gentemot företaget. Sex stycken kvalitativa intervjuer genomfördes med fastighetsmäklare från olika lokalkontor i stockholmsområdet. Tematisk analys gjordes med teoretisk grund i Cognitive Evaluation Theory (CET) samt Self-Determination Theory (SDT). CET utgår ifrån att människor bedömer händelser utifrån en kontrollerande och en informerande aspekt medan SDT handlar om hur motivation kan vara mer eller mindre externt reglerad.

The expectations of a successful outcome are great during childbirth. The overall objective of prenatal care and birth care is that midwives contribute in creating the most positive experience of pregnancy, child birth and infancy as possible. During the past 30 years there has been a significant increase in sectiofrequency both in Sweden and the rest of the Western world. More parents feel an overall insecurity when it comes to child labour. The purpose of this study was to describe how midwives experience the work of creating a sense of security and good nursing when meeting the expectant parents.

Otrygghet och stress förekommer i arbetet för många sjuksköterskor. Detta upplevs som psykiskt påfrestande och kan leda till utbrändhet. Genom att erbjuda sjuksköterskor utrymme för reflektion och bearbetning av känslor, kan man förebygga dessa problem. Handledning, med syfte att reflektera tillsammans i grupp, är ett sätt att skapa trygghet i yrkesrollen för sjuksköterskorna. Syftet med denna uppsats är att utifrån tidigare studier och forskning beskriva sjuksköterskornas upplevelser av handledning i grupp.

In tune with the cross-border trade the infringement of intellectual property rights has become a growing problem in Europe and the rest of the world. In June 2008 negotiations about a new international agreement was initiated between Europe, its member states and ten other countries, which will restrict infringements of intellectual property rights. The agreement is called ACTA, which stands for Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. On January 26, 2012 the European Union (EU) and twenty-two of its twenty-seven member states signed a letter of intent to the agreement and the EU?s internal processes of the agreement began.

I wrote this essay with the aim to explore, understand and get some insights into what it is that effects the possibilities to plan for ecological sustainability and make it happen. There is no clear definition of sustainable development but world top meetings and reports have developed goals and strategies. I will present some of the theory at hand but most of this essay is based on six interviews with planners at local governments from around the country. Several of the local governments are using the goals issued by the state government by putting them into their large scale plans. During the interviews some obstacles were identified, like a lack of resourses, disadvantaging powerstruktures, conflicts with marketeconomy and simply different meenings about what ecological sustainability is in practice. My method of getting information through interviews and documenting them by taking notes had, as all methods, it?s weakneses.

I denna uppsats har undertecknade undersöka alkoholvanorna bland män och kvinnor i idrotterna fotboll och innebandy i Växjö kommun. Lagen som undersöks är endast lag på breddnivå, det vill säga de lägsta divisionerna. Inom herrfotbollen undersöktes divis-ionerna 5-6 och inom damfotbollen divison 3-4. För att undersöka herrinnebandyn valde vi division 3-4 och för daminnebandyn 2-3. Vi valde att använda oss av en kvantitativ metod via enkätsvar där det skickades ut 400 enkäter till de aktiva i föreningarna och vi fick in hela 279 (69,7%) svar.
