Background:Mental illness has increased in Sweden and the individuals seeking care expect to be met with respect. The way patients perceive themselves to be treated by health care professionals plays a central part to care and treatment of patients, and the patients experience will decide how future care will proceed. The majority of complaints from patients with mental illness suggest that the way they are treated in health care is inadequate. For people with mental illness it is crucial how they perceive themselves to be treated since poor treatment can lead to reluctance in seeking future help. Aim: The purpose of this study was to describe how people with mental illness perceive themselves to be treated in primary health care.

Entrepreneurship as playing a important role for economic growth has been discussed by a number of theorists such as Joseph Schumpeter and Israel M. Kirzner. William J.

EU:s jordbrukspolitik och dess effekter på unionens och omvärldens invånare är ett ämne som ofta väcker debatt. När man studerar effekterna på medlemsländerna skiljer man ofta mellan budgeteffekter och handelseffekter där det förstnämnda är mer frekvent förekommande både i media och som föremål för studier. Jag har valt att studera handelseffekterna som uppstår tillföljd av att EU skyddar unionens jordbruksproduktion från konkurrens utifrån.Medlemsländerna påverkas olika beroende på hur situationen inom jordbruket och handeln med jordbruksprodukter är i landet. Mitt syfte är att se vilka av medlemsländerna som vinner respektive förlorar på hur EU:s jordbruksprogram är utformat idag. I min analys använder jag data från tidsperioden 1995-2004 och jag har valt att arbeta med produktgrupperna spannmål, kött och frukt och grönsaker.

Essay in Political Science, C-level, by Camila Alvarez Cea, spring semester 2010. Tutor: Alf Sundin?Reality or a Political Mirage? ? A Study of the Swedish Press Views on the Health Insurance Reform in the USA? The purpose of this essay is partly to examine whether the picture that Swedish press presents of the health insurance reform in the US, which is part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Act bill, will be of crucial importance to the possibilities that the American population has to receive health insurance. The main research question is accordingly: ?Does the picture that Swedish press presents of the health insurance reform in the USA, seem like something that will be of radical importance to the possibilities of the population to receive healthcare?? The purpose is also to examine in which model (demand or market) the opinions of the Swedish press fits. This purpose will be answered by using three specific questions asking whether their opinions differ when it comes to three criterions: organization, financing/resources and delivery systems.

Med de senaste årens volatilitet på oljemarknaderna och den historiska inverkan som oljepriset har haft på inflationen så avser vi att undersöka hur stor inverkan oljepriset har på inflationen idag. Vi gör vår undersökning på ett urval av industrialiserade och ej fullt industrialiserade länder för att se om det är någon skillnad på resultaten mellan dessa typer av ekonomier. Vi närmar oss problemet med en oljeutökad Phillipskurva som specificeras i tre olika modeller. Specifikationerna baseras på nykeynesiansk teori, monetarism och ECB:s två pelar strategi vid inflationsanalys. Vi finner att oljepriset har haft en påverkan på inflationen under tidsperioden 1979-2007 i de industrialiserade länderna men att effekten över lag är avtagande vid en jämförelse med perioden 1990-2007.

The overriding purpose of this graduate thesis is to evaluate if municipalities and county councils can deviate from the legislation of public procurement during procurement of customer choice agreements within the health and social care area. The intention of this Quasi-market is to provide the users with competition in terms of quality rather then the general principal rule of economic value.My conclusion results in a legal situation without rules of general procedure. So far the authorities make their own regulation in the field of customer choice agreements. The problem lies within the authorization of new contractors and their right to make an appeal against resolutions made by the authorities social care divisions.One solution is to legislate within the present law of public procurement. Another way to solve the problem is to create a lex specialis apart from the present public procurement regulation..

Uppsatsen undersökte en alternativ metod att kreditbetygsätta företagsobligationer. Metoden är baserad på en modell skapad av Hall & Miles (1990) och har tillämpats med viss framgång på banksektorn i tidigare studier. Modellen gör antagandet om effektiva kapitalmarknader och använder aktiekursinformation som enda informationskälla. Undersökningen utfördes genom att applicera modellen på 49 slumpvis utvalda amerikanska företag och ta fram en tio års lång kreditbetygshistorik. Denna kreditbetygshistorik jämfördes sedan med kreditbetyg på de 49 företagen satta av kreditvärderingsinstitutet Moody?s under samma period.

Syftet är att undersöka ifall det finns ett signifikant samband mellan matchresultat och rörelsen i ett fotbollslags aktiekurs. Uppsatsen ska även ge en ökad förståelse gällande skillnader i avvikande avkastning vid olika typer av motstånd och matcher. Uppsatsen är kvantitativ undersökning med deduktivt angreppssätt där avvikande avkastning studeras vid olika händelser med hjälp av diverse hypotesprövningar. Teorierna i uppsatsen behandlar aktievärdering, marknadseffektivitet samt aktieägarbeteende. Empirin presenteras i form av tabeller med avvikande avkastning och hypotesprovningar vid olika händelser.

Studies in Sweden have shown that the districtnurses had no time for health promotion. The Swedish government also indicate that there is a lack of health promotion and preventive care in Sweden. The purpose of this study was to describe into which extent the districtnurses in the middle and southwest area of Region Skåne worked with preventive care in their profession and into which extent they documented their achievement. The inquiry was answered by 45 districtnurses about background, present situation, preventive care, secondary prevention, tertiary prevention, health promotion and documentation. Results of this study shows that the districtnurses worked mostly with tertiary prevention.

In part this paper is a contribution to the ongoing Swedish discussion about our public structures. The discussion has picked up speed in the last years thanks to a government backed committee trying to come up with a suggestion to make our public sector more efficient. A big part of the debate is about the independence and work of our municipalities, what they should do, what they shouldn?t do and when the state should step in and take over. I make a theoretical investigation into one of these issues, the one about job creation.

This study aims to investigate associations in two areas in Stockholm County with diverse socio-economic conditions. The study intends to examine the impact these differences have on what role the bureaucrats and politicians in the two areas think that the associations should have. Bureaucrats are those who design guidelines for associations and that is why they have an important role in the conditions of the associations. A comparison between the two areas has been made to see if the requirement in the guidelines for the areas are different according to where the members live. The two areas that have been used to compare the guidelines of associations are Danderyd municipal and the district Spånga-Tensta.

Uppsatsens syfte är att försöka utreda en eventuell relation mellan mål- och uppköpsföretagets q-värden och aktieägarnas avkastning i samband med ett företagsförvärv, samt vilken relation som skapar störst aktieägaravkastning. Teorin kring Tobins q samt teorier kring aktieägarnas avkastning i samband med företagsförvärv och faktorer som påverkar denna ut-gör grund för uppsatsen. Henri Servaes artikel om företagsförvärv och Tobins q på den amerikanska marknaden fungerar som refe-rensstudie. En kvantitativ undersökningsmetod med hypotesprövning används i arbetet. Relationen mellan mål- och uppköpsföretagens q-värden och aktieägarnas avkastning analyseras med multipel regression.
