Många studier beskriver att malnutrition hos patienter i vården är ett stort problem med stora konsekvenser för den som drabbas. Det kan bli både medicinska som sociala komplikationer samt även stora ekonomiska påföljder för samhället. Hur nutritionsomvårdanden fungerar i praktiken, personalens inställning till och kunskap om ämnet är avgörande för att malnutrition skall kunna förebyggas och åtgärdas. Uppsatsen beskriver vad personal inom vården har för inställning till nutrition och vilka kunskaper personalen har samt hur en del av nutritionsomvårdnaden fungerar i praktiken. För att uppnå syftet har metoden baserats på litteraturstudier och analys av kvantitativa artiklar.

Kunskap är en viktig resurs, speciellt inom kunskapsintensiva branscher så som revisionsföretag. En stor del av kunskapen hos en människa utgörs av den tysta kunskapen, som är den kunskapen som är personlig och svår att uttrycka. Genom att skapa en bättre förståelse för den tysta kunskapen, kan företagen utnyttja sina kunskapsresurser på ett bättre sätt. Därför krävs det att den tysta kunskapen studeras. Denna undersökning syftar till att ta reda på vad den tysta kunskapen är och hur den tillvaratas inom revisionsföretagen.

Reasons for performing this study: Colic has for a long time been seen as a serious health problem in the equine population. Even so, the knowledge of colic seems to differ a great deal among the people interacting with horses. A large number of studies have for several years looked at risk factors that cause colic, in order to provide knowledge about them. The knowledge can then be used as tools for developing prophylactic methods in order to reduce the number of horses that develop colic. Objectives The aim with this study was to investigate if people have the correct knowledge about colic in horses, which risk factors that cause colic today and describe prophylactic methods that can result in avoidance of colic in horses. Method Eleven veterinary practices were contacted in order to send out two questionnaires for a study of six weeks.

The purpose of this master thesis is to present a model that illuminates the important factors when deriving technical information from market data within a company.
