Today we are living in a time were impulses from other places and cultures constantly grow and the contact over the boundary is getting bigger. We se satellites pictures over the world, we hear about worldwide ecological problems, we learn about other different lifestyles, we cock food that are inspired from the worlds many kitchens, we shop more and we can travel to different parts of the world. My problem was to find out how cultural phenomenon spreads to a greater extent global and how this transference take place, but also be able to se what factors that has a part in the cultural spread.What I found with help from my literature study was that trough improved communication and transports has gained mobility in the world and people can take part off others culture.The world is shrinking and this means that human beings identity is changing and this create a so-called hybrid mixture. Culture is what we human beings create. Culture can be seen as a community phenomenon for the most parts.

This is a theoretical study of changing relations between men and women in the context of modernisation. Ideas derived from a general theoretical discussion will be illustrated by examples from countries that are going through societal changes affecting the lives of men and women; Uganda, Morocco and Mexico. Focus will be on connections between changes in the public sphere and interpersonal relations in the private sphere. One part examines certain effects of women?s increased participation in politics and in the workforce, concluding that these changes may cause conflicts with traditional values and consequently tensions in inter-gender relations.

From a time where employees often remained at one company until retirement, globalization and changed employment patterns have created a more mobile labor market in the last years. In an effort to expand the connection between organization and employee a rising interest in corporate alumni networks has emerged. Previous research has shown that conditions for such networks are formed through employees social identification, perceived organizational support and organizational citizenship and can be shaped by company's HR practices.This paper aims to examine two case companies' perceived benefits through alumni relations as well as their HR prac-tices, in order to increase understanding surrounding the relationship between the two areas. Further the study intends to draw conclusions about the role of corporate alumni networks in the creation of the received benefits.The study indicates that HR practices, through the creation of an organizational citizenship behavior, can influence the conditions for beneficial alumni relations. Results show that some expected benefits of alumni relations can be re-ceived through strong citizenship.

In this study, four semi-structured qualitative interviews has been contrived in purpose to gather in material which has been presented in five themes to ease an analyse focusing of gender. In all the interviews both authors participated with one in charge and one taking notes. One of the main focuses has been the relations between both social workers and their clients and between colleges in the institutions. The other main focus has been the activities, both planed and spontaneous, which the clients been offered, for example football, bowling and boxing.

In Rio De Janeiro, 1992, was the first document signed that meant a responsibility for industrial countries to decrease their emissions, United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Thirteen years later was the first legal binding document signed, the Kyoto protocol, and for the first time industrial countries all over the world was bound to decrease their emissions on greenhouse gases. Within the framework of this commitment, three flexible mechanisms (Clean Development mechanism, Joint Implementation and Emission trading) were introduced with the function to reduce the economical costs of the commitment. The flexible mechanisms Emission Trading (ET) is what this report is about.The report starts with a description of carbon dioxide and it?s effect on the environment, thereafter comes a background review of the national agreements who lies as a ground to the implementation of emission trading as a management control measure in Sweden and the rest of the world.Keywords: United Framework Convention on Climate Change, Kyoto protocol, Flexible mechanisms, Emission trading, carbon dioxide .

I takt med allt mer ?slimmade? organisationer och ökade ekonomiska krav pÄ företagen stÀlls det dessutom högre krav pÄ de anstÀllda. De senaste mÄnadernas ekonomiska kriser över vÀrlden har dessutom lett till att mÄnga sÀgs upp frÄn sina arbetsplatser, men vad hÀnder med dem som blir kvar pÄ arbetsplatsen? Syftet med den hÀr uppsatsen Àr att undersöka om konsekvenserna av uppsÀgning pÄ grund av arbetsbrist blir ett arbetsmiljöproblem för de anstÀllda som blir kvar pÄ en arbetsplats efter en massuppsÀgning. Anledningen till att jag har valt att skriva den hÀr uppsatsen Àr att jag Àr intresserad av frÄgor om arbetsmiljö och hur anstÀllda pÄverkas av en ökad arbetsbelastning och vilka faktorer som pÄverkar den psykosociala arbetsmiljön.

Patienter med missbruksproblem upptar mycket av hÀlso- ochsjukvÄrdens platser och resurser. Det Àr dÀrmed viktigt attsÀkerstÀlla att dessa patienter fÄr god vÄrd och belysa vilkafaktorer som kan inverka pÄ omvÄrdnaden. Syftet var att belysasjuksköterskors attityder gentemot patienter medmissbruksproblem samt att beskriva hur mötet mellansjuksköterskor och dessa patienter ser ut. Det anvÀndes 17vetenskapliga artiklar som grund för detta arbete varav 11 varkvantitativa och sex var kvalitativa. Det framkom attsjuksköterskor ofta uppvisade negativa attityder gentemot patientermed missbruksproblematik och detta inverkade pÄ omvÄrdnadenav patienterna.

Bakgrund: Idag Àr det inte enbart stora och internationellt etablerade företag som verkar globalt. Fler och fler smÄ och medelstora företag internationaliseras och Àr numera av stor betydelse för tillvÀxten i mÄnga lÀnder. Dessa företag har visat förmÄga att etablera sig internationellt, trots att tillgÄngen till framförallt finansiella resurser kan tyckas begrÀnsa deras internationaliseringsprocess. SnabbvÀxande företag finns inom alla sektorer, men givetvis finns en förhÄllandevis större andel tillvÀxtföretag i branscher och sektorer dÀr marknaden och efterfrÄgan vÀxer snabbt. Roxtec AB Àr ett snabbvÀxande industriföretag som vÀnder sig till industriella köpare inom tre stora sektorer, telekom, marin & offshore och industri.

Arbetet i ett fÀngelse Àr annorlunda mot de flesta andra arbetsplatser. Det Àr en isolerad arbetsplats med lite insyn frÄn det övriga samhÀllet, samt i hög grad styrt av lagar och förordningar. Det framgick i forskning att fÀngelseanstÀllda har högre arbetsengagemang dÄ de upplever sin arbetsplats som rÀttvis, och dÄ de fÄr stöd frÄn arbetsledare. Studien Àmnade undersöka om det fanns ett samband mellan konflikten mellan arbete och familj och arbetsengagemang, samt om det fanns samband mellan arbetsmiljö (rÀttvisa, kontroll i arbetet och arbetsbörda) och arbetsengagemang. Undersökningen hade en svarsfrekvens pÄ 15 % vilket pÄverkade studiens tillförlitlighet.
