After World War II a rapid expansion of the Swedish health care took place. Theexpansion was realised chiefly as a development of the hospitals and was bothproduced and financed mainly within the public sector. The financing consisted to ahigh degree of government grants from the state to the county councils.During the period for this examination (1945-1955) the public responsibility for thehealth care was expanded. This was expressed in the publicly financed system forhealth insurance and the cut down in the charges that the patients had to pay for thehospital care. These changes led to some discussions on the national level but reformscould on the whole, with exception for the suggested reform of the open health care,be implemented.This case-study performed on the county council in Värmland shows that the degreeof consensus was enhanced on the regional level.

I samma takt som ridskolor rekryterar hästar måste de också avveckla hästar på grund av att hästarna blir gamla och inte orkar med arbetet. Att veta vad som är rätt att göra med hästen när den pensioneras kan vara svårt och det finns väldigt lite fakta om avveckling. Många faktorer spelar in, bland annat etik och moral. Syftet med studien var att ta reda på hur ridskolor handlar och tänker ur ett etiskt och moraliskt perspektiv när man ska pensionera ridskolehästen. Det har även undersökts vad ridskolorna har för syn och värdering på hästar, elever och samhälle eftersom det kan tänkas påverka deras moraliska och etiska värdering vid pension av ridskolehästar.I studien har kvalitativ metod använts genom telefonintervjuer med sex ridskolor utvalda över hela landet som är anslutna till Svenska ridsportförbundet.

This essay points at the importance of public libraries as arenas of meetings between refugees and the local population, and by this - creating social kapital in the society as a whole. The researchers Aabø, Audunson and Vårheim have created theories about low-intensive meeting places, that means ? neutral, public places where accidential meetings with different strangers can happen, which can create social capital and trust among each other. To complement these theories I also use Vårheim who have implementet social capital-theories to the sphere of public libraries. These two theories complement each other and can help me investigate two public libraries in a rural area in Sweden.

Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur gymnasielever resonerar kring fusk och plagiering. Frågorna vi söker svar på är: vad blir föremål för övervägande när elever resonerar kring vad som är tillåtet respektive otillåtet vid examinationer; vilka moraliska resonemang för elever och hur motiverar de dessa? Detta görs genom fokusgruppsdiskussioner där eleverna får diskutera två olika case där det ena caset berör fusk och det andra plagiering. Casen är framtagna och omarbetade för att lyfta fram fusk- och plagieringsrelaterade problem som passar in i elevernas sociala kontext. Resultaten visar att eleverna har svårigheter att avgöra vad som är fusk i alla situationer.

Ett ökande antal palliativa patienter med cancerdiagnos väljer att vårdas hemma den sista tiden i livet.
