The aim of this study was to describe some relevant psychosocial relationships in the workplace that effect that women become sick listed. The method of the study was a literary study which was based on a number of scientific articles. The result of the study showed that many different factors effects the risk of becoming sick listed. Factors that causes sick leave where many and individual, but lack of social support, bullying, unstructured work environment and theworkplaces management, imbalance between demands and control and the women's situation were factors that had a big influence.

Kostnaderna för att bygga idag är höga och det krävs att byggbranschen effektiviseras för att sänka dessa. I takt med sökandet efter ständig effektivisering har verktygen utvecklats. Inom konstruktion har man på 25 år gått från att rita med penna och papper, till att bygga upp en tredimensionell modell i en dator. Idag ritar de flesta dock fortfarande i två dimensioner med programmet Autodesk Architectural Desktop, ADT, ett AutoCAD baserat program från Autodesk. Nu finns program som är objektbaserade, dessa bygger upp byggnaden i dess tredimensionella geometri.

The giant otter (Pteronura brasiliensis) is listed as an endangered species and scientific litterature concerning its biology and behaviour is scarce. The current study observed a group of three giant otters in a Swedish zoo. First the otters normal behaviour was recorded. Then the aim of the study was to see if the otters behaviour changed when given blue mussels (Mytilus edulis). Furthermore the aim was to see if the otters displayed any tool-using behaviour when given mussels.

Detta arbete undersöker möjligheterna att ta fram riktlinjer för en transformation från modelltyperna i EKD, som är ett mindre formellt semi-formellt modelleringsspråk, till UML, som är ett mer formellt semi-formellt modelleringsspråk, i syfte att komma närmare en systemspecifikation som kan implementeras som ett IT-system. Arbetet är utfört med en designansats som grund för hur arbetsprocessen sett ut. Processen följer genom hela arbetet och kan läsas om under metodkapitlet. Arbetet tar upp frågor som vilka modelltyper som är lämpliga att transformera till, vilken information som kan transformeras, vilken information som inte kan transformeras och vad som kan göras med denna. Riktlinjerna testas i valideringssyfte även på EKD modeller som skapats i annat syfte än för denna rapport..

"Att utveckla en modell som beskriver tillvägagångssättet vid utvecklingen av kvalitetssystem i medelstora företag."För att besvara min problemställning genomförde jag intervjuer av fyra kvalitetsansvariga, anställda i organisationer med kvalitetssystem som är eller skall tredjepartscertifieras. Syftet med intervjuerna var att identifiera kritiska faser i utvecklingen av ett kvalitetssystem och erhålla råd hur dessa faser skall genomföras på bästa möjliga sätt. Det insamlade materialet och en litteraturstudie ligger till grund för resultatet som presenteras i form av olika faser som ingår i min egenutvecklade modell för utveckling av kvalitetssystem.I resultatkapitlet framgår att de kritiska faserna i utvecklingen av ett kvalitetssystem var resurstilldelning, utbildning, mätpunkter och ständiga förbättringar. Av intervjuerna framkom även att det är frågor som utbildning och motivering som är avgörande för hur väl kvalitetssystemet skall motsvara förväntningarna snarare än de hårda frågorna i form av genomförande.

Cancer is one of the most feared diseases in veterinary medicine today, and the incidence is higher than ever due to the fact that our companion animals live longer then they did ten to twenty years ago. Cancer is also one of the most common causes of mortality in older companion animals. This literature review will be about two of the currently most common form of cancer treatment of companion animals in Swedish animal hospitals, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. There will also be a section of general nursing care for cancer patients. The section of chemotherapy will describe the indications for choosing chemotherapy, the way to administrate chemotherapeutic drugs, describe specific chemotherapeutic drugs, potential side effects of chemotherapy, and how to handle and store chemotherapeutic drugs safely. The section of radiation therapy will describe the current devices for delivering radiation therapy, describe the indications for choosing radiation therapy and describe potential side effects that radiation therapy may cause.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the determinants of capital structure in Swedish small and medium sized firms. The study includes 24.859 Swedish firms which are further analyzed with regards to their financial characteristics. These characteristics consist of short term debt, long term debt and total leverage. The study compares the relationship between these characteristics and six independent variables.The result shows that profitability is the greatest determinant for capital structure in Swedish small and medium sized firms with regards to total leverage. When profitability increases the total leverage of the firm decreases.

Lean och Sex Sigma är två av de mest använda kvalitetsförbättringsmetodikerna. Vanligtvis brukar endast en av dessa implementeras inom en verksamhet, antingen Lean eller Sex Sigma. Sedan millennieskiftet har en ny förbättringsmetodik vid namn Lean Sex Sigma utvecklats genom att integrera de båda tidigare. Diskussionerna om Lean Sex Sigma har dock till största del hållits på en teoretisk nivå och det finns få praktiska exempel. Avsaknaden på praktiska exempel beror främst på avsaknaden av ett standardramverk för en Lean Sex Sigma modell, trots att många författare tidigare föreslagit olika modeller.Syftet med denna studie är att utveckla och föreslå en modell för Lean Sex Sigma som kan användas som standardramverk i framtiden.

The purpose with this paper is to examine if tertiary education and democracy have an impact on economic growth. In order to decide how democratic the examined countries are the democracy index constructed by The Economist is used. Besides the two central theories the purpose is also to explain why these variables could affect growth and to examine direct and indirect effects. Indirect effects mean that one variable affects another variable which thereafter has an impact on economic growth.34 OECD countries are compared in order to investigate whether education and democracy are strongly correlated with BNP per capita. Therefore a statistical design is used as method.The empirical results suggest that there is significant correlation between democracy and economic growth.

The purpose to this study is to find an understanding of the effects of how sponsorship can affect companies and their business and at the same time get a better understanding of how sponsorship is or can be used as a marketing tool in today?s marketing. By using a quality research method we have chosen to use a half structured research method to make it possible to find out how sponsorship as a marketing tool can be used from a company perspective in relation to our chosen thesis. To enhance the readers understanding we describe the base of sponsorship and principals for sponsorship, after that describes a deeper perspective of sponsorship, what sponsorship is, and what factors are needed to be taken into consideration. Further on we illustrate the figure that later on will constitute the analysis with attributes like: association, exposure, relations and integrated communication.

The effects of social media usage in a professional context, specifically the effects on social media usage in relation to leadership have been studied in order to determine weather or not usage can be productive for leadership in general. The study concludes that there are several benefits as well as drawbacks to leadership in using social media, but has yet to conclude weather productive or not. This study gives an overview of a relatively unexplored subject.Leadership in terms of leader, communication and group dynamics have been defined and explained in accordance with existing literature. A  brief review of computer and Internet history attempts to explain the formation and evolution of social media. Risks in terms of risks related to leadership and risks related to IT-security are taken into consideration and have been briefly explained.

In today?s society we depend on technology to perform the simplest tasks. Whether we are engaging in conversation with a friend or are navigating in traffic, we are likely to be found with some technological device in our hands. This dependence has grown over a period of time, and many of us have failed to reflect on the impact technology has had on our lives. The emergence of so-called One-to-One projects, where teachers and students gain access to a personal laptop, does however provide an excellent opportunity to do so.

Sleep is a vital part of life. Even so a lot of the mechanics regarding sleep is unknown. The dairy cattle of today live a stressful life, as their high milk yields forces them to eat large amounts of feed and spend a great portion of the day ruminating. Do they have time to get enough sleep? Which factors affecting the need of sleep in dairy cattle are largely un-known.
