Yrket personbilsmekaniker har genomgått en stor förändring. Idag ställs det helt andra krav på mekanikern än det gjordes för några år sedan. Både miljökrav och ökande bränslepriser har gjort att biltillverkarna tvingats att göra bilarna mer bränslesnåla och mer snälla mot miljön. Detta har gjort att bilarna idag är mer tekniskt avancerade än förut, och därför alltmer svåra att serva och reparera. Det ställs därför helt andra krav på mekanikern nu.

The purpose of this essay has been to answer the question of whether or not administrators of economic support perceive that their professional status is ranked lower than that of their coworkers in other fields of the social services.

Health on the Internet is a growing subject and many different organisations and companies offer customers various kinds of medical functions on the web. A common service is to offer users to ask questions and get answers from doctors cooperating with the health sites. There is however little knowledge of how much the health sites actually are used, and by whom. Several authorities and organisations both in Sweden, Europe and in the USA are investigating whether it is necessary to bring forward a certificating authority with the right to judge and examine all the health sites on the web. WHO, the World Health Organisation, proposed a solution for this, which was refused.

Introduktion: Arbetsrelaterad stress är idag ett växande problem och det har visat sig att det är många olika faktorer som orsakar stress. Det har också visat sig att stress ligger till grund för tillstånd av ohälsa, bland annat hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar. Även socioekonomisk status är något som sammankopplas med både stress och hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar. Eftersom befintlig forskning är något begränsad gällande huruvida arbetsrelaterad stress, socioekonomisk status och hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar samvarierar var det av intresse att undersöka detta. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva upplevelsen av arbetsrelaterad stress i relation till socioekonomisk status och hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar.
