The previous research in the field of new religious movements has mostly focused on the spectacular parts where phenomena such as ?brainwashing? and the ?charismatic leader? have attracted both media and the scientific studies of religion. Professor Liselotte Frisks has done several enquiries about sects and new religious movements in Sweden. One of her main conclusions is that the relation between these new religious movements and the rest of society has changed; a relation that used to be characterized by conflicts and tension is now becoming more open as both parts are changing.This study does not focus on the spectacular parts. Instead I have studied something more common and general.

The aim of this study is to examine the legal regulation regarding the psychosocial work environment for temporary agency workers. Furthermore, the aim of the study is to examine how temporary agency workers perceive their psychosocial work environment, and possible consequences of such perception. The methodology of the study consists of practical legal method and qualitative method in the form of interviews.The results show that the psychosocial work environment for temporary agency workers is regulated at both the EU legal level by Directive as well as at national level in Arbetsmiljölagen and regulations issued by Arbetsmiljöverket. The study finds that health and safety responsibility for temporary agency workers is shared between the agency and the client company. The result of the study indicates that there are shortcomings in the introduction and training of temporary agency workers, which can contribute to an unsatisfactory work environment.

Alla människor har på något sätt en relation till musik. Musikens språk är universellt. I ungdomars livsvärld är musiken en viktig faktor i sökandet efter den egna identiteten. Musik skapar gemenskap, hjälper en i svåra situationer och bidrar med glädje och hopp. Dessa musikens funktioner korrelerar också med de funktioner religionen har.

Forskning behövs för att öka kunskap om nya och befintliga användningsområden samt utveckla eller förbättra befintliga metoder, produkter samt system. Den forskningsetik som är styrande idag har sin grund i Nürnbergrättegången. Rättegången hölls efter andra världskriget där läkare ställdes inför rätta för att utfört oetiska experiment på fångar i nazityska koncentrationsläger. Idag finns det ett antal etiska deklarationer som skall följas när människan ingår i forskningsprojekt. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur deltagare upplever sitt deltagande i forskningsprojekt vid en klinisk forskningsenhet. Intervjuer genomfördes med fyra respondenter som var deltagare vid en klinisk forskningsenhet i södra Sverige.

The purpose of this work is to raise ideas and interest for land that is very much forgotten,unused and neglected in terms of maintenance and usability. Railroads are often seen as adirty and loud intrusion in the landscape and therefore cities turn their backs on them. Theland around railroads is not considered useful despite its often central location and scrublandis common in these areas.The starting point of this work is the restrictions and possibilities linked to the land withinthe security distance 30 meters from the railroad center. Within this security distance thereare numerous limitations and regulations due to the nature of railroad use. These limitationsare counted for in the initial chapter and lay the foundation for the rest of the work.

There are several methods and models within the areas of software engineering on how to proceed during a software development process. For each of these methods and models there are benefits and drawbacks, depending on how you choose to look at them. A difference of principle between the different models is that they either advocate iterative development or not. In parts of software engineering one makes use of different methods depending on which is most fitting in a specific situation. There are several methods on how to recieve more qualitative data from the end-users during the requirement collection, but the reappearing pattern is still user centric participation, which means that the user participates more actively in part of or the entire development process.

Psykiska ohälsan bland barn ökar, vilket föranledde regeringen att ge Folkhälsoinstitutet uppdraget att inventera behovet av föräldrastöd. Goda familjerelationer är hälsofrämjande och föräldrars förmåga tillatt förmedla emotionell värme och tydlig gränssättning blevprioriteringsområden. Syftet med denna studie var att deskriptivtåterge föräldrars tankar och upplevelser kring samvaron med sitt/sinabarn. Halvstrukturerade intervjuer med 6 mödrar och en fader, medvarierande bakgrund, genomfördes. Innehållet analyserades enligt s.k.induktiv tematisk analys.

When creating a good lighting design it is crucial to know how different types of lamps work. Knowing what kind of light they emit and in which situations they work well is also very important. In this master thesis I present different types of lamps and give an account of how light is spread through the different shapes of luminaires, reflectors, filters and so on. I write about how our eyes register radiation and connections between lighting and how it makes us experience space. Furthermore I deal with the effect of artificial light on living organisms and the environment. After the theoretical studies I deal with the places I have visited to study how different lamps and luminaires work and look like in existing lighting designs. These visits have also been inspirational to my lighting proposal for Bokenäs. Bokenäs is Volvo?s resort and conference center which is situated on the Swedish west coast.

I denna uppsats undersöks EU-kommissionens kommunikation med allmänheten i två översatta informationsbroschyrer. Med avstamp i diskursanalytisk teori analyseras såväl texterna som deras kontext. Syftet med undersökningen är att beskriva vilken bild broschyrerna förmedlar av EU och EU- invånarna samt relationen dem emellan. En utgångpunkt är att texterna bär uttryck för auktoritet, som beror av de text-externa relationerna och som synliggörs genom olika språkliga strategier.Analysen visar att EU konstrueras på två olika sätt i texterna: dels som en stark och pålitlig aktör, dels som ett naturligt existerande geografiskt område. EU-invånaren i sin tur upptecknas som en del av en gemenskap, och som någon med skyldigheter men framförallt med rättigheter.

Bakgrund: Att skapa kontakt med demensdrabbade kan vara svårt om vårdaren inte har rätt kunskap i hur kontakt kan skapas. Den ickeverbala kommunikationen såsom beröring och musik kan vara av betydelse när kontakt ska skapas. Människan förknippar beröring med att vara omtyckt och genom detta ökar känslan av trygghet och tillit och på så sätt kan kontakt skapas. Ett annat sätt att skapa kontakt på är genom musik, där det har visat sig att minnet av sång och musik betyder mycket för människan och kan stärka kommunikationen. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att belysa hur kontakt kan skapas med demensdrabbade genom beröring och genom musik.

Infectious Bronchitis (IB) is a highly contagious viral respiratory and productiondepressant disease distributed world wide. The disease is caused by the InfectiousBronchitis Virus (IBV), a positive RNA strand Avian Coronavirus within thegenus Gammacoronavirus. Due to a combination of high mutation rate and atendency of recombination a constant emergence of new genotypes and serotypesis seen. In Brazil, a country with an extensive poultry production and majorproblems with disease control, the diversity of circulating strains are wide andoutbreaks of clinical disease despite intensive use of vaccines are common. Theaim of this study was to investigate the presence of IBV and to identify genotypesof isolated IBVs in a limited number of layer flocks in Bastos, São Paulo, as partof the screening for circulating genotypes in the country.
