Previous reaserch has indicated that the almoners position in the somatic hospital hierarchy is poor. The purpose of this study was to investigate the position of the almoner in the hospital hierarch today, together with what this position is based upon.The questions at issue were:- Has the almoners position in the hospital hierarchy changed, or is it still poor?- In what way can the almoners position in the hospital hierarchy be explained?In order to get answers to our questions at issue, we interviewed totally 13 persons from the three chosen professional categories, i e four almoners, five doctors and four nurses. Two of the doctors worked at care centres and the other doctors worked in hospitals within the Region Skåne. The interview material was analysed from the concepts of Pierre Bourdieus; field and symbolic capital and by means of ideas from the closing theory.

I denna studie har jag undersökt om olika läroböcker för religionskunskap 1, som är avsedda för antingen studieförberedande program eller yrkesförberedande program ger alla elever samma möjligheter att nå upp till läroplanens kunskapskrav inom området för etik och moral. Undersökningen genomfördes även för att lyfta fram anledningar till att författare ger ut olika typer av läroböcker för en gymnasiegemensam kurs där ämnesplan och kunskapsmål är samma. Studien presenterar tidigare forskning inom ämnet genom att titta på den senaste läroplanen Gy 11, syfte och kunskapsmål i ämnesplanen för religionskunskap 1, tidigare forskning inom läromedel samt etik och moral inom religionskunskap. Studien bygger på en kvalitativ komparativ innehållsanalys av fem utvalda läromedel samt en kompletterande kvantitativ studie. Resultatet visar att läroböckerna i stort innehåller tillräckligt med information för att eleverna ska kunna nå målen.

Bakground: Puerperal fever caused by group A Streptococcus is in a global context seen as a common cause of death in childbirth.Aim: To examine the consequences of group A streptococcus infections in women postpartum and to see what a nurse can do to stop the infection with adequate nursing interventions.Method: This is a review built on 15 articles. These articles were read in full and audited with a suitable template.Result: Women postpartum has 20 times higher risk to get group A stretococcus infection as compared to non pregnant. The consequences of Group A Streptococcus infection can lead to high fever, abscesses around the uterus, sepsis, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), hysterectomy and death.

Romerska aristokrater vars dryckenskap redan var omtalad under samtiden står i fokus för denna uppsats. Banketter var viktiga sociala evenemang, starkt förankrade i romersk ideologi och moral. Enligt moralisternas uppfatning skulle eliten ledas av anständighet, korrekthet i beteende samt måtfullhet.Korresponderade verkligheten med ideologin? Inte alltid. Med frustrerad ton refererar antika källor om Roms aristokraters ostentativa banketter, våldsamma berusningar, tävlingar i drickandet.

The neo-classical conception of the market place does not provide a framework to account for ethical or moral action. As a result, the neo-classical model is unable to explain the impact of ethical and moral issues on business sustainability present in the modern economy. To address this limitation, this thesis investigates whether theories of ethics can help explain the motivations and actions of stakeholders within the field of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). In addition, the thesis explores whether theories of ethics are presented differently within aspects of the stakeholder model. Semi - structured interviews were conducted with various stakeholders within the CSR sector, including a NGO, a commercial firm and a CSR consultancy firm.

Bakgrund: Brytpunktssamtal är svåra samtal för alla deltagande. Bemötandet och hur beskedet ges kan bli avgörande för patient och närståendes upplevelse av livets slut. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av brytpunktssamtal i kommunal hemsjukvård. Metod: Data analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys med induktiv ansats. Sju intervjuer genomfördes med sjuksköterskor.

Healthcare staff working within emergency care must often handle extreme and emotional situations. Most of the certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) will some time during their professionally active lives confront with events that are difficult to handle and for some these events will lead to more or less serious traumatic distress and in certain cases develop post traumatic stress disorder symptoms. Many studies demonstrate that staff working in similar stress related environment runs larger risk in order to get stress related symptoms. The aim with the study was to describe the experiences around difficult work related events among CRNAs. The study was implemented as a descriptive study with qualitative run-up via a questionnaire with open questions relevant for the study's aim.

Examensarbetet handlar om skolans värdegrund, vad värdegrunden innehåller och hur detta innehåll kan användas i skolans dagliga verksamhet. Syftet med examensarbetet var att undersöka hur innehållet i värdegrunden kommer till uttryck i skolans arbete. De frågor vi ställde var, om en undervisning som på ett medvetet sätt behandlar värdegrundens innehåll ökar elevernas förmåga, att dels samtala om etiska problem och dels motivera sina ställningstaganden. Dessutom ställde vi frågan, hur lärarna förhåller sig till arbetet med och innehållet i den värdegrund som Lpo 94 anger att skolan ska förmedla till eleverna. Vårt resultat visar att eleverna tyckte att det var viktigt att prata om etik och moral och om hur man uppför och beter sig mot andra i sin omgivning.

Failed system development projects are a common sight within the IT-industry. During the last ten years we have seen several more or less disastrous high profile projects being reported in the news. One aspect that might hold some of the responsibility for these failures is the fact that more organisations are knowledge intensive which makes their work processes difficult to capture in computer systems. How requirements engineering is handled becomes even more important in these cases, where processes are unpredictable and rely on individual judgement and knowledge. In this study we have examined the challenges of developing systems for knowledge intensive businesses through a method of qualitative case study of a university laboratory.

The two most controversial ends of life decisions are those in which physicians help patients take their lives and when the physician deliberately and directly intervenes to end the patients? life upon his request. These are often referred to as voluntary euthanasia and physician assisted suicide. Voluntary euthanasia and physician assisted suicide have continued to be controversial public issues. This controversy has agitated the minds of great thinkers including ethicians, physicians, psychologists, moralists, philosophers even the patient himself.

This case study is an attempt to give empirical support to Georgio Agambens theory, regarding how the exceptions from the constitutional order should be regarded as a constant element in modern societies. The purpose was to investigate if Agambens theory is valid in the Swedish context. The exception, as definied by Agamben, is a reappearing phenomenon, which implies that the constitutional order is fragile. Individuals and groups are transferred into ?homo sacers?, meaning people that is to be regarded as legally naked, and offset from the rest of society.What then is it that make the legal norms fragile? In this thesis I will discuss the causality of moral panic.

På sjukhus i Sverige arbetar sjuksköterskor på neonatalavdelningar med att ta hand om de allra minsta barnen och deras speciella behov. Barnen är i behov av specialistsjukvård, ibland intensivvårdskrävande med högteknologisk utrustning, samtidigt som de behöver påbörja den viktiga anknytningen till sin familj. Sjuksköterskor behöver specialkompetens för att arbeta i den krävande vårdmiljön, där de skall ta hand om ett vårdkrävande barn samt familjen till barnet och arbeta familjecentrerat. Syftet med studien var att belysa sjuksköterskors erfarenhet av att arbeta med familjecentrerad neonatalvård. Fokusgruppsintervjuer genomfördes som senare analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys.
