Syftet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka ifall det är möjligt att bedriva undervisning i friluftsliv enligt Skolverkets kursplaner på ordinarie lektionstid i ämnet idrott och hälsa på högstadieskolor i urban miljö. För att undersöka detta har ett lektionsupplägg planerats och genomförts i form av en interventionsstudie för att sedan utvärderas med hjälp av aktionsforskning och fokusgruppintervju. Frågeställningarna som undersökningen sökt svar på är ifall det är möjligt att arbeta med friluftsliv på ordinarie lektionstid, samt ifall skolans direkta närmiljö är tillräcklig för att bedriva undervisning inom friluftsliv enligt kursplanernas krav, eller om det krävs att man lämnar den urbana miljön. Empirin som samlats in har analyserats och diskuterats utifrån tre lärandeteorier vilka ligger till grund för utomhuspedagogiken. Sociokulturellt perspektiv, konstruktivistiskt perspektiv samt variationsteori är de teorier som använts vid såväl planering av interventionsstudien som vid analysen av huruvida kursplanens delar om friluftsliv behandlats tillräckligt väl. Studien är av kvalitativ art och eftersom undersökningen endast är gjord med en klass i årskurs nio och enbart på en skola så är det inte möjligt att generalisera resultaten så att de blir allmänt giltiga.

Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att belysa närståendes upplevelser vid plötslig död. Med hjälp av kvalitativ innehållsanalys och manifest ansats har sju kvalitativa artiklar analyserats, analysen resulterade i fem kategorier: Att kämpa för att få svar och känna misstro för professionen, att känna skuld för det inträffade, att söka mening, vara förvirrad, oförberedd och ensam i sorgen, att få stöd och kunna stötta andra och att acceptera och värdera livet annorlunda. Resultatet visade på att anhöriga upplevde informationsbristen från vårdpersonal som mycket frustrerande och de litade inte på att omhändertagandet av den döde var rätt. De kände sig också ensamma i sorgen och att människor de kände undvek dem för att inte behöva möta de sörjande. Allteftersom att tiden gick började livet ta form igen, deltagarna hade accepterat sin situation och fått en ny syn på livet.

Due to the harsh competition among Swedish food retailers, in-store marketing is a crucial component in the stores marketing strategy. In an attempt to differentiate among its competitors, COOP Sweden has begun to use concave store shelves. Although the food retailing industry is one of the most studied, no research has been conducted on the concave store shelves. The objective of this study is to describe how these shelves effect the customer perception of the assortment, their experience of the store environment and their buying behavior. An S-O-R framework is used as an overall basis in order to outline the effects investigated in this paper.
