Dagens samhälle ställer höga krav på flexibilitet och därför är personalinhyrning en företeelse som blir allt mer vanlig. Företag ska kunna hantera upp- och nedgångar i arbetskraftsbehov på ett smidigt sätt, vilket personalinhyrning bidrar till. Företeelsen är ännu inte riktigt accepterad av samhället och därför var syftet med denna uppsats att undersöka hur den externa synen, på företag som hyr in personal, ser ut. Den empiriska undersökningen genomfördes med hjälp av personliga intervjuer med åtta intressenter till inhyrningsföretag. Den slutsats vi har kunnat dra är att synen på inhyrningsföretag överlag är positiv bland intressenterna.

The incineration of waste is steadily increasing in Sweden and so is the production of ashes. The bottom ash has for many years been used as construction material in landfills. Now many of the nation's landfills are closed and there is a great need to find another beneficial use for the ash. Bottom ash is a gravel-like material and with its material properties it can replace natural gravel in parts of roads and surface constructions. Today this use is only approved within landfill areas where leachate is collected and checked.

Arbetets syfte är att genom textanalys av artiklar publicerade i Tidskriften Svenskt konsthantverk under åren 2004 och 2008 belysa det samtida konsthantverket i Sverige sett ur konsthantverkarens perspektiv. Utifrån syftet besvaras följande frågeställningar: Vad väljer konsthantverkaren att lyfta fram och berätta om i en intervjusituation? samt Hur ser konsthantverkaren på begreppet konsthantverk? Frågeställningen besvaras genom en kvalitativ dokumentstudie, där textmaterialet ur artiklarna tolkas. Studien visar att bilden av det samtida svenska konsthantverket är mångfasetterad sett ur konsthantverkarens perspektiv. Det samtida svenska konsthantverket inrymmer det mesta från bruksföremål till idébaserade och konceptuella objekt.

According to ?Fotförbundet" (2012), Overpronation occurs frequently (80 %) in the Western World and furthermore overpronation of calcaneus influences the position of the pelvic and thorax (Fotförbundet, 2012; Behnke, 2008). The aim of this study is to investigate whether or not it is possible to connect overpronation of calcaneus to the problem in the rider?s seat as observed by the instructors of Strömsholm. The study will also investigate if the riders seat problems as noticed by the riding instructors are comparable with the problems found by the analyst during testing. One purpose with the study is to raise the instructors and riders awareness that anatomical deviations in the rider might influence the rider?s position in the saddle. The questions of the study are: - Is it possible to see seat problems in riders with overpronation of calcaneus? - If it is possible to see more seat problems in riders with overpronation of calcaneus, do the instructors in the study considers the seat problems be similar with each other? - If there are seat problems in the study, is it the same according to the instructors and the analyst in human biomechanics? The hypothesis of the study is that overpronation of calcaneus has an effect of the rider?s position in the saddle. The study is conducted as a blind study where the test subjects have been filmed (from knees down) as they walked barefooted and later while riding.

Humans and dogs are both mammals. One of the differences between the two species is that man walk on two legs and dogs on four legs. There are also differences in the nerve system between the two species. The human nerve system is supposed to provide opportunity for fine motor tasks- while the nerve system of the dog is more focused on the ability to perform locomotor tasks. Humans need to increase their motor control and postural control when affected by various conditions and diseases.

Evaluation of sustainable work within real-estate companies is a relativelynew way of working and the number of companies starting towork with this routine increases every day. Chalmersfastigheter is areal-estate company providing faculties for universities. The company ismainly focusing on decision-making and outsourcing.The aim of this essay is to evaluate decision-making processes andensuring that the right decision is made, with other words, evaluatingthe decision and not the result from the decision. By identifying whatsustainability means for Chalmersfastigheter and in which processesdecisions are made, an evaluation is easily made to see if every decisionis based on the three aspects of sustainability; ecology, economy andsocial. The result from this evaluation will highlight how Chalmersfastigheter prioritize in decisions concerning sustainabledevelopment.This study is based on the ISO 14001 standard and the definition ofsustainable development presented in the Brundtland report.Akademiska Hus is used as an example to present how another companyin the same business has operationalized sustainability.

The purpose of this study was to increase the understanding of the phenomenon that there are so many young people placed in institutions in Sweden despite the valuable knowledge regarding the problems and risks of doing so. The questions that follow in the essay were what guided the social workers to choose institutional placement for youngsters. It went on to also ask if this knowledge could contribute to an increased understanding of why there were so many young people placed in institutions despite the criticism from scientists. To accomplish the goal of the essay, former science in the subject was reported and six social workers within social services were interviewed. The material of the interviews was analyzed with help from the theory of human service organizations, street-level bureaucrats work situation and the new institutionalism.The result of the investigation showed that the social workers choices to place young people in institutions is guided by specific work and organizational factors connected with a belief in the helping function of the surroundings.

Tuberculosis is one of many infectious diseases in the world and is responsible for a large number of human deaths each year. The cause is Mycobacterium ssp included in the tuberculosis-complex, there among Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Infection with M. bovis causes bovine tuberculosis in cattle which in 90 % has a pulmonary location. Humans are infected mainly by milk from infected cows but also by close contact with coughing animals or by eating raw meat.

Toxoplasma gondii är en encellig parasit som kan orsaka livshotande sjukdom vid infektion av immunsupprimerade personer och skada fostret vid infektion av gravida kvinnor. Parasiten infekterar även livsmedelsproducerande djur som t ex nötkreatur och kan då ge upphov till infektiösa vävnadscystor som förekommer i bl a skelettmuskulatur. Detta gör konsumtion av kött till en viktig smittkälla, men vilken roll just nötkött spelar är inte klarlagt. Med anledning av detta har jag gjort en litteraturstudie avseende förekomsten av T. gondii hos nötkreatur.

A central discussion within society and businesses today, is the change of generations in the business market which occurs within the upcoming years. A change of generations is unavoidable and a natural step in business. The challenge of the forthcoming reform is the large number of people leaving the labour market and the grand entrance of new labour; Generation Y. The characteristics of Generation Y differ from the older generation which enhances the challenges for the businesses to attract a new workforce. It may also be necessary for the organisations to adapt to the younger generation.

In this study bone material from six stone ship settings and a total of seven deposits of bones from two sites on the island of Gotland have been analyzed. Four ship settings from the burial site at Gålrum in Alskog parish and two from Tängelgårda in Lärbro parish. The ships contained both cremated remains and inhumations.  Human remains were identified in five of the analyzed ship settings and a minimum of six individuals was identified in total.  Animals were found in three of the ship settings, where one of them contained only the burned remains of a dog. Two of the ships contained inhumations, one in Gålrum and one in Tängelgårda.

Försvarsmakten är en viktig aktör i samhället och är en av Sveriges största myndighet med omkring 51 517 anställda, där 6 866 är kvinnor och 44 651 är män. I Sverige vill försvarsmaktsledningen (FML) ändra dessa siffror och har sammanställt tre aspekter för att expandera andelen kvinnor inom försvarsmakten. Det handlar i huvudsak om ett rättighetsperspektiv, alla ska ha lika chanser att påverka och medverka i samhället och ha tillgång till makt och inflytande. Den andra orsaken är att försvarsmakten vill vara en attraktiv arbetsgivare som ska nå hela befolkningen, slutligen vill försvarsmakten få en ökad operativ effekt. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur Norrbottens flygflottilj (F21) i Luleå arbetar för att rekrytera fler kvinnor till försvarsmakten, samt hur kvinnliga anställda upplever sin arbetsvardag på en mansdominerad arbetsplats.

In order to facilitate testing of anesthesia machines a patient simulator has been required by Maquet Critical Care AB. A patient simulator has been developed to reduce expensive and time consuming animal experiments and temporary lab arrangements. The patient simulator has been developed and designed to simulate human lungs with regards to anesthetic uptake, production of carbon dioxide and heating and moisturizing exhaled air.The system comprises a container and a test lung to simulate the volume and the dynamic of the human lung. The simulation of uptake of anesthetics has been implemented by pumping a fraction of the gas from the container through a bypass circuit with an active charcoal filter that adsorbs volatile anesthetics. The flow through the bypass circuit is generated by a pump and is controlled by a linear valve.The resulting performance of the patient simulator has fulfilled the requirements.

Bakgrund: Forskningen har visat att humor är ett socialt fenomen som kan ses som ett universellt språk. Den har visat sig påverka en rad faktorer positivt, däribland vårdmiljön, relationen mellan sjuksköterska och patient samt patientens hälsa. Humor är inte enbart positivt i en vårdkontext, däremot finns det tillfällen då den bör undvikas.Syfte: Syftet är att belysa användandet av humor i mötet mellan sjuksköterska och patient.Metod: Examensarbetet är en litteraturöversikt där tio vetenskapliga artiklar valts ut, skillnader och likheter har identifierats och slutligen sammanställts.Resultat: Resultatet består av tre huvudteman: Humorns inverkan på avdelningens vårdatmosfär, interaktion mellan sjuksköterska och patient samt humorns effekter. Under huvudtemat interaktion mellan sjuksköterska och patient hittades två underkategorier: kommunikation mellan sjuksköterska och patient samt förlorade tillfällen till humor. I huvudtemat humorns effekter hittades underkategorierna: humor som strategi samt humor som lindring.Diskussion: I resultatdiskussionen följer en diskussion där resultatet implementeras i Travelbees omvårdnadsteori, Human-to-Human Relationship Theory, men också hur ny forskning förhåller sig till resultatet.
