The purpose of this paper was to investigate how the Child mental Health Service, BUP Ektorp, textually constructs its demarcation, by studying case records from the first evaluations of the patients. The main questions were: In what way are the competitors and their problems represented in the texts, how is the solution justified and explained, and how do these factors relate to each other? The method being used is discourse analysis, influenced by Mörkenstam. The main conclusions are that the demarcation consists of a number of onceptions about the child, the parents, and the therapist. The conceptions, together with the way the problem is being described, justifies the proposed solution, proclaiming termination of the case..

Gymnasiereformen GY11 (SFS 2010:2039) innebar flera förändringar för den nationella gymnasieskolan. Ett program som förändrades i karaktär och omfattning var teknikprogrammet, ett program nu har en pedagogisk utmaning för befintliga och blivande tekniklärare att främst utbilda morgondagens tekniker och ingenjörer - inom kort väntas 18 000 ingenjörer behövas i Sverige. Betraktar man examensmålen för teknikprogrammet kan framför allt fyra av de flera ingående aspekter sammanfattas till följande utifrån examensmålens egen formulering; "Utbildningen ska därför utveckla elevernas förmåga att analysera och förstå tekniska system?.Med det i åtanke så lyfter modern forskning fram att det teknikdidaktiska hantverk som ska förmedlas ut i klassrummen gällande diskussioner om system kräver att den undervisande läraren har väl förtrogna kunskaper om tekniska system. Som sådant är det den enskilde läraren som med sin ämnesdidaktiska insikt kan avgöra vilka aspekter av tekniska system som är av relevans att förmedla, och vart fokus ska vara i undervisningen.Det övergripande syftet med denna studie är att bidra till den kontinuerliga teknikdidaktiska forskningen kring studien av socio-tekniska systemuppfattningar.

Abstract in English:This essay constitutes a case study based upon in-depth interviews held with people who have, or have had, Exhaustion Disorder (ED), concerning their understanding and use of music and sound, encompassing experiences which are both positive and negative. The intention is to document how the illness influences the subjects' music use. The study shows that the respondents intuitively and consciously are using music by regulating, getting in touch with and manifesting their emotions. Music is an important tool in performing self therapy and to achieve a good existential health. Music can also provoke negative physical and mental reactions and affect the general health status for those diagnosed with ED.

Målen för gymnasieskolans läroplan Lpf 94 handlar om yrkesförberedelse och utveckling av insikter, en något ödmjuk inställning till komplexiteten i uppdraget. I Gy11 är man mer rak på sak, eleven förväntas kunna ett eller flera yrken när de lämnat skolan. Kanske är det införandet av lärlingsutbildningen som givit författarna en större självsäkerhet om skolans förmåga att producera yrkesmänniskor. Kan eleverna på Handelsprogrammet ett eller flera yrken då de avslutar sin treåriga gymnasieutbildning och vad innebär det i så fall att kunna yrket? Båda frågorna är högst relevanta för den som utbildare på ett yrkesprogram. Viktiga delar av vårt uppdrag som lärare handlar om att, efter läroplanens intentioner, utbilda och coacha eleverna mot ett yrke.

We are currently more aware than ever about the impact of food on our health, but in the same time this trend put more pressure on the food retailers to do as much as possible to help their customers manage their weight and be healthy in general. This study aims to examine the corporate social responsibility for consumer health in food retailing, in which ways the companies promote healthy eating; in what extent they do it and also the motives for companies for corporate responsibility. The empirical study is limited to the market leading companies in Sweden, Coop and ICA, because the performance of the leading companies puts them in the strongest position to profit from shifting consumer trends, grow revenues and penetrate new markets and also enable them to make a strong case for the effectiveness of voluntary action, obviating the need for government intervention. A qualitative method was used in this study to get an accurate understanding how the food retailers take social responsibility for consumers health. The study is based on interviews with experts in the food retailers Coop and ICA, and the companies reporting in this area, annual reports, corporate responsibility reports and websites.

Practice of mathematical proof increase the understanding of mathematics anddevelop creativity skills, problem solving, communication, logical thinking andreasoning which are all important tools not only within the subject of mathematicsbut also important tools for the society in which we are living. The aim of this projectwas to investigate whether it is accurate that proof and proving has a subordinate rolein mathematic education in the upper secondary school in Sweden. This was done byconstructing of a digital survey that was sent to approximately 100 practicingmathematics teachers in a normal size city located in the middle of Sweden. Theresults of the survey show that the teachers consider themselves comfortable withtheir own skills in teaching proof. Paradoxically, the results also show that there is alack of teaching of proof and proving in the upper secondary school, although the newcurriculum puts more focus on proof and proving..

Bakgrund: Hur vet vi som sjuksköterskor vad som menas när det talas om palliativ? Världen utvecklas och så gör även begreppen i den. Genom att studera ord får forskaren reda på den egentliga betydelsen och den allmänna definitionen. Syfte: Att klargöra och definiera begreppet palliativ. Metod: Begreppsanalysmodell av Walker och Avant (1995). Studien är byggd på vetenskapliga artiklar, ordböcker och lexikon. Resultat: Ur den lexikala och litterära analysen växte studiens kärna fram, attributen. För att begreppet palliativ skall kunna infrias krävs det obotlig sjukdom, tillfällig hjälp, lindring och stöd.

AbstractThis essay contains a comparison between principals and supervisors within the Health-care and is focused on their view regarding their own leadership. It contains a comparison between their respective models for leadership and how to evolve as a leader within these two organizations.The study is carried out as in dept interviews with four principals and four supervisors.The results show that the principals have a sufficient education and a broad network, but they need the opportunity to a personal development within their leadership. On the other hand, within the Health-care, the supervisors stand on a good base of education where focus lies on the personal development within the leadership. However, they need more opportunities to build up their networks.The conclusion that can be drawn is that these two organisations would gain on learning from each other, in order to establish as good conditions as possible to improve the leaderships within their own organization..

Bakgrund: Munvård är en viktig del av omvårdanden för patienters välbefinnande. Daglig rengöring av tänder och munhåla är grunden till att förebygga olika sjukdomstillstånd. Undersökningar visar att kunskapen om munvård är låg hos vårdpersonal. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att belysa vårdpersonals uppfattning om munvård. Metod: En litteraturstudie har gjorts där fem artiklar ingår. En kvalitativ analysmetod har använts. Resultat: Resultatet visar på att vårdpersonal har uppfattningen att de fått för lite utbildning i munvård men att de ändå prioriterar munvård högt. Vårdpersonals utbildning har betydelse för hur de upplever att utföra munvård. Slutsats: Det behövs mer utbildning för vårdpersonal i området munvård och en manual för hur de ska utföra munvård..
