Att skriva mål och att bryta ner detta till mindre delmål för att sedan ta små steg framåt har en betydande roll i en persons arbetslust. Handlingskraft visar sig genom både inre och yttre motivation där den inre påverkar den personliga nyttan och användandet av kunskapen i framtiden. Den yttre visar sig genom den fysiska miljön exempelvis belöning och resultat. Bakgrunden till utvecklingsarbetet var att förbättra arbetssättet med Kreativa Gymnasiet LBS:s egna kunskapsmålmatriser vilket är förenat med den yttre motivationen och målsättningsteorin. För att förankra motivationen till kunskapsmålmatriserna har frågor använts: Vart befinner jag mig? Vad är mitt mål? Vad är nästa steg? Syftet var att med hjälp av kunskapsmålsmatriser synliggöra för elever var de befinner sig i en kurs och vart de är på väg och därigenom öka deras motivation.

Att finna korrelat till våld har länge rönt stort intresse inom den forensiska psykologin, inte minst med ambitionen att kunna predicera en persons framtida våldsamhet. I denna studie undersöks hur tretton variabler inom de fyra kategorierna substansbruk, impulsivitet, anknytning och upplevt socialt nät korrelerar med tidigare registrerad våldskriminalitet hos två grupper: personer inom kriminalvårdens frivård respektive rättspsykiatrins öppenvård. Signifikanta korrelationer återfanns mellan den tidigare våldsbrottsligheten och två av variablerna inom anknytning, en av variablerna inom impulsivitet och en av variablerna inom socialt nät. Inga signifikanta korrelationer återfanns mellan våldskriminalitet och substansbruk. De båda grupperna skilde sig åt i fråga om hur korrelationerna fördelade sig, såtillvida att för frivårdens klienter korrelerade enbart en av variablerna i kategorin socialt nät med våldskriminaliteten.

On the 15th of May 2011 the former leader of the International Monetary Fund, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, was accused of sexually assaulting a maid in a hotel room in New York.

This essay aimed to give a basis for the departement of social work in Lund in its task to recruit students from underrepresented parts of the population to the departement and to the university by presenting which social groups are underrepresentated. The research also aimed to give an explanation of how the backgrounds of the student´s have influenced them and lead them to undertake studies of social work. The main questions were: - What background do the students at the departement of social work have as seen from the variables; sex, age, national background, class, parents' educational level, society of childhood and direction of upper secondary school? - How can the background of the students at the departement of social work be explaned by the theories of Pierre Bourdieu?

The data received by the questionnaire were compared with data of the general students population and of the population of Sweden at large.

Humor är något som varit viktigt för människan genom historien. Den för med sig välbefinnande och välmående. Upplevelsen av humor är ofta förknippat med en persons livserfarenheter och uppväxt. I en vårdrelation där det råder obalans i makten är det speciellt viktigt att tänka på hur man skämtar, samt om vad man skämtar med patienten. Syftet med denna studie är att beskriva hur humor används och dess betydelse på arbetsplatsen mellan vårdpersonal samt i omvårdnadssituationer mellan sjuksköterskor och patienter.

Syftet med det här arbetet är att undersöka hur barn till svenska föräldrar påverkas av att växa upp i en tvåspråkig och dubbelkulturell amerikansk miljö. Bakgrunden till arbetet är att människor, till följd av ökade internationella kontakter, i allt större utsträckning väljer att flytta utomlands. När föräldrar flyttar med sina barn uppstår frågan om vilket språk som ska talas i hemmet och vilken kultur familjen ska välja att leva efter. I litteraturgenomgången framgår det att individen ur ett sociokulturellt perspektiv i hög utsträckning formas av sin sociala kontext, i samspel med andra människor. Omgivningen har således stor betydelse för en persons identitetskänsla och det är viktigt för individen att känna samhörighet med en grupp människor.

Context: Lip-to-Lift (L-t-L) is a bedside-method for measuring oral transit time at swallow. It was designed for a swallowing examination of persons on nursing homes where weight loss was noted in people with average L-t-L-time >5 seconds (Sandin, 2005). The measurement was validated and evaluated by Eriksson, Bremer Zerpe (2008).Objectives: The study objective was to examine L-t-L on a group of young adults without swallowing disorders and as to examine the inter- and intra-judgereliability of the measure.Questions:What is the L-t-L-time for young adults without swallowing disorders?Are there any gender differences regarding L-t-L-time?How high is the inter/intra-judge reliability of L-t-L?Method: Examination of L-t-L-time was carried out on 20 young adults, aged 19-27 years, without swallowing disorders after Sandin?s (2005) instructions. Measurements of 20 swallows per person were made.Results: The average L-t-L-time of young adults without deglutition-difficulties was 1.13 seconds (sd =.14).

Several studies have shown that the Swedish labour market for different reasons is characterized by ethnical discrimination and that people who have another cultural background than Swedish are being excluded. Most studies done within this area have been focused on why it is harder for immigrants to enter the labour market and identifying the contributing mechanisms for this phenomenon. Instead the aim of this study was to see how the immigrants view their own cultural identity and background and how they perceive that their cultural competences are being valued when they apply for a job. To examine this, the following problematic was used: How does a person who has been brought up with both the Swedish culture and another culture look at using this as a cultural competence when they apply for a job. Two different theories were then applied to analyze the problematic, Erving Goffman´s theory about Stigma and Norbert Elias theory about the Established and the Outsiders.

Säsongsbunden depression är vanligt förekommande, speciellt för personer som lever i nordligare breddgrader. Personer med säsongsbunden depression beskriver upplevelse av sämre välbefinnande under vinterhalvåret då soltimmarna är färre. Syftet med studien var att genom en litteraturstudie identifiera faktorer inom områdena kost, motion och alkohol samt beskriva deras påverkan på välbefinnandet för personer med säsongsbunden depression. Efter en systematisk litteratursökning i relevanta databaser valdes fjorton vetenskapliga artiklar ut för kvalitetsgranskning och analys. I analysen extraherades informationsenheter som svarade till syftet vilka sammanställdes i resultatet.

Aren?t you tired of never finding stuff? Take a bits as example, do you store these lose in your toolbox or carpenter belt? What if you could have it all accessible and assembled in a tool, always at arm?s reach?Today bits are used together with electric screwdrivers and handheld screwdrivers in a greater spread. For these different types of storage, from pure storage boxes to complex tools with storage built in, exist. The professional craftsmen commonly use some kind of box where the bits can be stored. Even so they tend to store their bits loose in a carpenter belt or toolbox, since they want the speed and accessibility of carpenter belt over the storage box?s tidiness.The project was started in the fall of 2010 and a referents group was early put together to ensure that the developed product became as user-friendly and attractive as possible.
