Our aim was to explore employees' experiences of exposure to violence, threats of violence as well as their experiences of encountering victims of violence and to relate their experiences to Sense of coherence (SOC) and Maslach's burnout inventory (MBI).We sent out a questionnaire to employees at three different workplaces. Our questionnaire included previously validated SOC and MBI questionnaires as well as six additional questions regarding violence. We sought to explore the relationships between experience of exposure to violence and encounters of victims of violence and SOC and MBI. We found that employees with a higher level of SOC exposed to violence or threats felt a higher level of security. In encountering victims of violence we found that employees with a lower level of SOC more frequently experienced indifference, fear and anger.

Barn har olika rädslor och bemästringsstrategier beroende på vilken ålder och utvecklingsfas de befinner sig i. De kan uppleva sjukhus som något hotfullt och skrämmande. Tidigare forskning på barns rädslor har ofta besvarats av andra än de själva vilket har visats sig ge en felaktig bild av deras sjukhusupplevelse. Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva vad barn hade för rädslor i samband med vård på sjukhus och hur de försökte bemästra dem. En litteraturstudie har gjorts baserat på tio kvalitativa studier där barn mellan 3-18 år har intervjuats.

Growth of small businesses is vital to the Swedish economy, and many entrepreneurs want their enterprises to grow. However, the business climate of today is more changing than ever, and attributes becoming increasingly important for companies in order to deal with this are flexibility, speed, and adaptability: characteristics normally attributed to small enterprises. As a larger organization often is associated with more rigidity as a consequence of a higher degree of formalization, entrepreneurs are hesitant to seize growth opportunities, as they fear it will have negative impact on the aforementioned competitive advantages their enterprise possesses as a small business. This simple case study of a growing small enterprise investigates the effects of organizational growth on a small business' organizational structure and through its above mentioned advantages. The study finds that avoiding formalization while growing damages the competitiveness of the firm, and concludes that a degree of formalization is a necessity to maintain the flexibility, speed and adaptability in a growing small business..

Förlossningsvårdens processer har vanligen utvärderats med jämförelsetal samt statistik över bakgrundsfaktorer och interventioner. Utvärderingarna har använts som argument för att likna vården vid normal förlossning med den som krävs vid komplicerade förhållanden. WHO (1996) rekommenderade och kategoriserade vård vid normal förlossning. Ett instrument fanns utvecklat som använts i ett kvalitetsutvecklingsarbete för att kartlägga förlossningsvård i förhållande till WHO: s rekommendationer. Studiens syfte var att kartlägga barnmorskors dokumenterade vård enligt WHO: s rekommendationer om vård vid normal förlossning tre år efter föregående kartläggning.

The Swedish do-it-yourself (DIY) market has expanded in recent years and is today a SEK90 billion market. Competition is fierce, however, and the DIY retail chains compete over market share with extensive marketing campaigns.

Opioids are considered the "golden standard" in pain management for both humans and small animals, but is used less often in equine medicine - probably for fear of side effects. Are there any studies that suggest that side effects are a major problem, or is it lack of experience which is the greatest obstacle to use? As early as 1937 it was shown that morphine and morphine derivatives provide analgesia in horses. For species other than horses used opioids often both pre-, intra-and postoperatively. They relieve pain effectively and are often included in the anesthesia protocol.
