In the dog-human relationship humans are the ones who provide the dog with safety and comfort. Ainsworth's Strange Situation Procedure (ASSP), which was originally developed in humans to study the relationship between mothers and infants, has been modified to investigate the emotional bond research dogs have to a familiar person. Twelve research dogs were tested to investigate whether the dogs performed any behaviours indicating a secure-base effect, such as more exploration and play in the presence of a familiar person and proximity-seeking behaviours when this person is or has been absent. In the ASSP the dog enters a room with a familiar person, is introduced to a stranger, is left alone for a short period of time and experiences moments of separation and reunion. A second variation of the ASSP was added where the familiar person was replaced by another, to the dog, unfamiliar person.

The essay is about the concept of text in a wider perspective, what can be included in that, how it can be used and above all, why one might want to use it. The essay will also include what the term popular culture implies, and school?s attitude towards it, since some of the medias that are a part of the text in a wider perspective, many times fits the description ?popular culture?. Most of the earlier research show that the positive aspects of the use of text in a wider perspective as the same time as it attacks school because school is opposing the popular culture.       The essay consists of two parts and it begins with a theoretical part where I present existing research about the concept of text in a wider perspective and the research about popular culture.

This study aims to examine how social workers, in the Swedish social services, perceive and interpret LVU § 3 from a gender perspective. In total eight social workers participated in the study, attending interviews based on a vignette. From a gender perspective we wanted to found out how the social workers define "other socially destructive behaviour" and understand their thoughts about this subject.

Based on several theories, two gender theories and concepts we have analysed our result from the interviews.

AbstractInformation and information seeking have always been important parts of society. How behavioural patterns of information seeking manifest themselves are partly due to individual prerequisites and partly due to the practice where the seeking of information is conducted.The aim of this study is to investigate a group of newly examined physicians? experiences of information seeking behaviour in their educational practice and in their professional practice. The two practices are related to each other but still very different. This makes it interesting to study whether individuals? information seeking behaviour changes when they move from the educational practice to the professional.The theoretical framework for the current study is a socio-cultural one.

Med besittning avses i juridisk mening att någon faktiskt och rättsligt kontrollerar egendom, vilket inbegriper att det hos besittaren finns en vilja att besitta egendomen. Rättsfaktumet besittning ges långtgående rättsföljder inom såväl sakrätten som straffrätten, varför det är intressant att utreda vilka omständigheter som konstituerar besittning inom respektive rättsområde. Vidare har detta betydelse för besittningsbegreppets innebörd då besittaren är en juridisk person. Förfäktar man att en juridisk person har en rättskapande vilja medför det att rekvisiten för att en juridisk person skall anses utöva besittning är desamma som en fysisk dito. Anser man däremot att en juridisk person endast är en fiktiv skapelse, utan vilja, förutsätter detta att en fysisk ställföreträdare utövar besittning för den juridiska personen, vilket i sin tur borde leda till att rekvisiten för att en juridisk person skall räknas som besittare i juridisk mening väsentligen skiljer sig från dem som gäller för fysisk persons besittning.

The purpose of this study was to examine the professionals´ views concerning self-harm behaviour in adolescents they meet. We interviewed nine different professionals. Our questions were: What do the professionals believe are the reasons to self-harm? How do the professionals experience self esteem and identity in adolescents with self-harm behaviour? How do the professionals look at the self-harm behaviour from a gender perspective? How do the professionals think a diagnosis can affect adolescents with self-harm behaviour? In our responses we noticed beliefs about the cause as a combination of environmental relationships and the individual who is born with a certain vulnerability. The professionals believe that the adolescents have trouble finding their identity.

Det har visat sig att närstående som vårdar en person med demenssjukdom använder i större utsträckning psykofarmaka samt löper större risk att drabbas av depression. Känslor av otillräcklighet, skuld, dåligt samvete och skam är vanligt. Att leva med en person med demenssjukdom kan göra det svårt att tillgodose sitt eget sociala behov vilket kan leda till ensamhet som i sin tur leder till sämre hälsa och lägre livskvalitet. Syftet med studien var att belysa livsvärlden för närstående som vårdar en person med demenssjukdom i ordinärt boende. Metoden var en litteraturstudie baserad på åtta stycken vetenskapliga artiklar.
