AbstraktSyftet med studien är att försöka finna förståelse för hur muslimer uppfattar och hanterar stress utifrån deras egna kulturella normer. För att skapa en djupare inblick i den Islamska kulturen så utfördes en kvalitativ undersökning på plats i södra Turkiet. Fokus var riktat på det muslimska perspektivet av stress, då önskan var att undersöka vad stress innebar utifrån deras eget synsätt samt vad som användes i hanteringen av stress. Kvalitativa djupintervjuer genomfördes med fem kvinnor och sju män som var religiöst troende. Respondenterna hade relativt likartade upplevelser och tillväga- gångsätt i hanteringen av stress.

Stress har alltid förekommit hos våra förfäder då var det en instinkt på kamp eller flykt. Men i dag utsätts vi för stress i olika former. Positiv stress är bra för oss, det ger oss energi då vi ställs inför utmaningar som vi klarar av. Negativ stress uppstår när vi ställs inför höga påfrestningar och kontrollen går förlorad. Stressen kan ha en negativ inverkan både fysiskt och psykiskt.

This is a thesis presents a differential gear which is found in a tracked vehicle called BvS10. The tracked vehicle is manufactured by BAE Systems Hägglunds AB in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden. The differential gear has a bolted house. The differential meets the requirement specifications, but the problem is that the bolts are sheared off because of the extreme torque that the differential is exposed to resist.Previous report on the differential show pictures of bolts which have been sheared off at the threads. This report is also includes three lists that explain seven different proposals which some are approved and some are not, and the report also presents the force, tensile, and shear stress.In a bolted connection there is both axial tension stress and radial shear stress, which can lead to wear out and broken bolts.

Stress kan beskrivas som en brist på balans mellan de krav som ställs på oss och vår förmåga att handskas med dem. När stress blir långvarig och utdragen blir det till slut en bestående obalans mellan kroppens nedbrytande och uppbyggande funktioner. Det finns rapporter från de senaste tio åren som visar att sjuksköterskor upplever de högsta nivåerna av yrkesrelaterad stress inom hälso- och sjukvård. Det kan uppstå skadliga reaktioner i kroppen och påverkan kan uppkomma både psykiskt, fysiskt och socialt i till exempel omvårdnadsarbetet eller i organisationen. Det gör att sjuksköterskor sätter sin fysiska och psykiska hälsa på spel.

The aim of this study was to describe how nurses cope with their daily stress at work. A literature review was made to answer the research question, data was gathered from two databases; Academic Search Elite and Medline (via Pubmed). The result which was based on 20 scientific articles showed that nurses used problem-focused and emotional-focused coping strategies to deal with the stress at work. Most of the nurses used emotional-focused coping strategies by practise some kind of physical activities, avoid and take distance from the problem. Using these strategies was negative correlated with burnout and psychological health.

The Swedish construction industry is dominated by men; however this is starting to change. The average age of Construction Engineers is high and approximately 40 per cent of the employees will retire by the year 2015. Currently, female engineers dominate the graduating classes of Swedish Universities but this is not reflected in the Swedish Construction industry.With so many female engineers available, why is this? Does it require a change in company culture and their condition of work to attract them? Is it the attitude towards women in the industry among the employees that has to be changed? Or is it a woman?s thoughts and prejudices of the industry that creates obstacles?The purpose of this final thesis is to describe how contracting firms in the construction industry can make themselves more attractive for female engineers. To reach the purpose, a study among salaried employees and craftsmen was conducted.

During the last ten- fifteen years the Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) population in southern Sweden has increased considerably. This area has a high density of both people and roads and have a higher roe deer (main prey of lynx) density than the rest of the country. Movement patterns such as how long animals utilize their kills and how far they travel from their kills between revisits is unknown for lynx in southern Sweden. The aim of this study was to examine how different factors affected the time lynx used their kills and the distances they travelled from the kill between revisits. The data was prepared and calculated using ArcGIS and the study is based on 98 ungulate kills and 12 lynx individuals.

Stress i vården är ett aktuellt problem och innebär en ökad risk för psykisk och fysisk ohälsa hos omvårdnadspersonalen. Patientsäkerheten och patienternas upplevelser av vården blir lidande när förekomsten av stress hos personalen är hög. Många studier om stress i sjukvården har genomförts, samtidigt som en ökad frekvens av sjukskrivningar hos sjukvårdspersonalen ses. Syftet med denna studie var därför att sammanställa kunskap om faktorer som har betydelse för att reducera stress hos omvårdnadspersonalen. Studien genomfördes som en integrerad litteraturöversikt där aktuell forskning söktes i fem databaser, detta kompletterades med manuell sökning.

Stress är ett aktuellt ämne i dagens samhälle. Tidigare forskning har påvisat en koppling mellan stress, personlighet och kön. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka om det fanns något samband mellan upplevd stress och karaktärsdraget neuroticism, med hänsyn till kön bland studenter. PSS och SGC-1 formulären delades ut till 109 studenter, varav 62 män och 47 kvinnor. Resultatet av studien visade att det fanns ett positivt samband mellan upplevd stress och neuroticism, när det kontrollerades för kön.

Syftet med denna studie var att jämföra samhälls-och beteendevetarprogrammet (n=70) och psykologprogrammet (n=70) i akademisk stress och strategier för att hantera stress. Deltagarna bestod utav universitetsstudenter och mätinstrumentet för studien var en enkätundersökning med skalorna ?Akademisk stress?, ?kognitiv coping-strategi?, ?Social support?, ?Sociala kontakter? och ?positiva-och negativa coping-strategier?. Det visade sig att det inte fanns någon skillnad mellan studenter från samhälls-och beteendevetarprogrammet och studenter från psykologprogrammet i hur akademisk stressade det var. Det fanns inget signifikant samband mellan programmens sociala stöd, sociala kontakter, kognitiva coping-strategier eller sättet att hantera positiva och negativa coping-strategi på.
