Work-Life Balance (WLB) is defined as the ability to manage both work-life and non-work life successfully. WLB can be evaluated by examining individual?s experience of Work-Family Conflict (WFC) and Family-Work Conflict (FWC), both of which can be assessed by a questionnaire developed by Netemeyer, Boles and McMurrian (1996). The aim of this study was to explore if responses to the questionnaire, the amount of time spent on studies, household chores and sick leave, were gender related or not, among civil-accountants students. The survey included 138 respondents (74 woman and 64 men).

With many different elective courses to choose between, a lot of students  experience anxiety over deciding which courses to study next semester. The  choice of a specific course can have a big impact on the students future studies  and/or employment. Therefore the anxiety is justified. At the same time the  number of students applying for a course often vary from year to year. This  creates issues for the responsible teachers because of the ever-changing  resource requirements.There are several different theories on decision making, addressing the  different time related states as well as the different habitual styles.

BAKGRUND: Varje dag möter sjuksköterskor vuxna patienter med stickrädsla eller nålfobi. Detta är ett problem som behöver belysas mer. Rädslan för nålar kan medföra ett flertal konsekvenser för individen. Bland annat kan personen komma att undvika sjukvården vilket kan innebära hälsorisker. SYFTE: Syftet är att belysa upplevelsen hos vuxna patienter med stickrädsla eller nålfobi samt hur sjuksköterskan kan bemöta och stödja dessa patienter.

Bakgrund: En närstående är en av patienten själv vald person att finnas närmast till hands. Att vårda en familjemedlem är en utmaning, inte minst om familjemedlemmen har en demenssjukdom. Den närstående tar på sig ett ansvar som kan vara svårt att lämna ifrån sig. Det är av stor vikt att närstående som vårdar någon i hemmet får den hjälp och det stöd som behövs, såväl från släktingar som från vänner, bekanta och vården.Syfte: Syftet med studien var att få kunskap om upplevelsen av att vara närstående till en familjemedlem med demenssjukdom.Metod: Studien baserades på en kvalitativ ansats där sex självbiografiska böcker skrivna av närstående till demenssjuka familjemedlemmar lästes. Materialet har analyserats med hjälp av en kvalitativ innehållsanalys.Resultat: Resultatet visade att närstående kände ensamhet i vårdandet av sin familjemedlem samt att stöd från övrig familj, släkt, vänner och vården var viktigt för att de närstående skulle orka med vardagen.Slutsats: Att vara närstående till en demenssjuk familjemedlem kan innebära ett lidande i form av sorg och ensamhet.

Business is changing and so are society?s expectations. Companies are expected to take responsibility for their trade and the context they are operating in, by looking at socially, economically and environmentally aspects. Many companies handle it by implementing corporate social responsibility (CSR) to their line of action. This is often handled by collaborating with other organisations, such as non-governmental organisations.

Children of today are surrounded by many different kinds of media. Books have to compete with new media like computers, video games, many TV-channels etc. The aim of this study has been to investigate the reading habits of 9-12-year old boys in their spare time, and their reasons for reading related to their use of other media. Our interest has been to shed light on the boys reading habits, their preferences and motives for reading and their reading functions. Even though our focus has been on their reading, we also have examined their use of other media and the function of this use.

This paper addresses the need to review the modern presentation of textile archaeology in museums. It is time to look at textiles in archaeology with new eyes. The reality behind archaeological textilestudy is holistic, embracing many different aspects of society. The presentation of textiles has in my opinion become old-fashioned. I will show in my paper that Jonathan Adams? `seven constraints´ model, developed for research on ancient ships, can also be applied to textile research.

På senare år har dagkirurgi blivit allt vanligare i Sverige. Dagkirurgi innebär att patienten kommer på morgonen för en planerad operation och får sedan gå hem igen, samma dag. Att bli opererad är ofta förknippat med oro för den som det berör. När denna oro inte blir tagen på allvar av sjukvårdspersonalen kan det leda till ett vårdlidande för patienten. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var därför att belysa patienters oro i samband med dagkirurgi.

Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie är att belysa hur brukare som har kontakt med socialtjänsten på grund av missbruksproblematik upplever och beskriver sitt inflytande över den egna behandlingen. Studien utgår från den hermeneutiska forskningstraditionen och har en kvalitativ ansats - sex semistrukturerade intervjuer har genomförts med brukare som har kontakt med socialtjänsten på grund av missbruksproblematik. Resultatet tolkades utifrån den nyinstitutionella teorin och visade att brukarna upplever att de har inflytande i sin kontakt med socialtjänsten, men på vilket sätt och i vilken omfattning varierar och påverkas till stor del av vilken socialsekreterare brukaren träffar. När vård enligt LVM ligger nära till hands upplever brukarna att kommunikation och information brister från socialsekreterarens sida. Samtliga brukare framhåller att kommunikation och delaktighet underlättar behandlingsarbetet och ökar den egna motivationen.

About 29 000 different services was given by the Swedish welfare state to children with disabilities within the ages 0-22 years before October first in the year 2008. Studies about children with disabilities and their experiences of their situation have rarely been done and it is therefore difficult to know how they think and feel about their lives. Both Swedish law and the UN:s convention about children?s rights states that children have the right to tell their opinion in matters that are of their concern. Thus, we don´t know much about if and how the Swedish welfare state maintain this right towards children with disabilities.
