Right now a major generational change is taking place within the banking sector. The new generation entering the labor market is often referred to as generation Y and it consists of individuals born between 1980 and 1995. Previous research has shown that the banking industry as a whole put a widespread emphasis on monetary incentives within the reward system. At the same time several studies highlight that individuals from generation Y are rather motivated by primarily non-monetary incentives.The aim of this dissertation is to explain how various monetary and non-monetary incentives affect the motivation of bank employees from generation Y. A positivistic research philosophy has been used with a deductive approach and a quantitative research method.This study indicates that bank employees from generation Y are motivated by retirement savings as well as a personal mentor or chief who draws attention to their development.

Syfte: Syftet är att skapa en ökad förståelse för hur offentliga verksamheter i mindre kommuner uppfattar och hanterar utmaningarna vid chefsrekrytering samt vad som ligger till grund för hur de hanterar det. Metodik: En tvärsnittsstudie på offentlig sektor i Kalmar Län har använts som forskningsstrategi med en induktiv ansats. Genom en kvalitativ metod med åtta semi-strukturerade intervjuer har vi producerat fram data. Slutsats: Studien har visat att offentliga verksamheter i mindre kommuner upplever ett problem i att finna lämpliga kandidater till chefstjänster, men ser inte det som krisartat. För att hantera rekryteringssvårigheterna utnyttjar offentliga verksamheter i mindre kommuner både operativa och strategiska åtgärderna.

The purpose of the present study was to study if the systemic blood pressure in cats significant increases due to stress associated with a visit to a veterinarian clinic. We also wanted to investigate the clinical utility of two different methods for indirect blood pressure measurements in cats by assessing how easy they were to use and how reliable measurements they provided. The methods that were used were oscillometric (Memo Diagnostic) and ultrasound-doppler technique (Minidop). The blood pressure was measured in both clinical environment and home environment. Fifty cats were used in the study, from which measurements were impossible to obtain in one cat.

Companies learn through their employees. In this paper I make research into how knowledge transfer and learning occur at Metso Paper Karlstad AB, which is a partly project based organization.The result is that there are many factors that affect the knowledge transfer in a company. Knowledge transfer occurs mainly between individuals within the company, but also between departments and other actors outside the company. In the gaps between these actors, there is a risk that knowledge is not transferred, which is an obstacle to learning. A great deal of the knowledge transfer and the learning is carried out through individual?s own drive and motivation.

Befolkningens fysiska aktivitet har minskat och psykiskt nedsatt välbefinnande har blivit ett folkhälsoproblem. Därför är denna uppsats intresserad och undersöka skillnader i välmående för grupper med olika träningsvanor. Detta för att om det finns någon träningsform som är högre associerad med högt välmående så kunde den rekommenderas för dem som vill öka och befästa välmående. Grupperna som valdes var de som tränar styrka, kondition eller båda två. Undersökningen var också intresserad av att se om det var någon skillnad på dem som utövade idrott i förening eller inte samt de som tränade styrketräning eller kondition med andra eller inte.

Bakgrund: Röntgensjuksköterskor får ingen verksamhetsförlagd utbildning i att utföra ultraljudsundersökningar av aorta med avseenden på abdominella aortaaneurysm och utför därför inga sådana undersökningar. Röntgensjuksköterskor har viss teoretisk utbildning inom ultraljud. Ungefär 1 000 personer avlider årligen i följder av abdominella aortaaneurysm. Det finns beräkningar som visar att cirka 30 000 av alla män och 6 000 av alla kvinnor i Sverige över 65 år har ett oupptäckt aortaaneurysm.Syfte: Att belysa hur omfattande teknisk träning röntgensjuksköterskor behöver för att utföra ultraljudsundersökning av aorta med avseende på förekomst av abdominella aortaaneurysm och att belysa behovet av den kompetensen.Metod: En systematisk litteraturöversikt valdes för att få en bild av forskningsläget. Översikten bygger på 14 artiklar ur databaserna PubMed, Scopus och Cinahl.Resultat: Det framgick att bland andra läkarstuderande och läkare utan tidigare erfarenhet av ultraljud i olika länder på kort tid har kunnat utbildas till ultraljudsoperatörer av aorta med avseende på förekomst av abdominella aortaaneurysm.
