AimThe purpose of this study has been to examine attitudes towards dance in a broad sense, among Swedish schoolchildren. The study has been done with three different questions in mind: What do pupils think and express about dance? Are there any differences in attitude towards dance between girls and boys? And how do the pupils relate to gender conceptions in connection to dance illustrations?MethodEight pupils 12 ? 14 years of age have been interviewed separately during physical education lessons. During parts of the interviews dance illustrations were used in order to encourage the pupils in their discussions, especially when asked to relate to dance and gender conceptions. The statements have been interpreted from a gender theoretical perspective.ResultsMy interview study shows that male pupils to a larger extent than female pupils inhabit hostile feelings towards dance as part of physical education lessons.

The general objective of this qualitative study is to analyse and describe what people with psychiatric disabilities write on their blogs about their encounters with social workers. The questions the study is aiming to answer are: How do people with psychiatric disabilities describe their encounters with social workers? Do the informants describe instances of paternalism and advocacy? How do the informants describe their sense of meaningfulness, comprehensibility and manageability? The study is based on a theoretical framework in which empowerment and sense of coherence (SOC) are the key elements, along with the concepts of paternalism and advocacy as well as meaningfulness, comprehensibility and manageability. The research data was collected from blogs on to the blog forum Psykiatrin.blogg.se ? psykiatrins Robin Hood (meaning ?the Robin Hood of psychiatry?).

Leaders in modern working life are confronted with frequent use of temporary groups. The purpose of this study was to examine possible reasons for swift trust towards leaders in temporary groups. The target group of the study was school employees. An opinion poll was carried out in the occupational group (n = 35) which made it possible to make statistical comparisons. The result showed that the following aspects were important for the development of swift trust in leaders: personal attributes, image related attributes, competence and experience, leadership and also social competence.

The present thesis is about how preschool children develop their language skills. The purpose is also to discuss how library and preschool can collaborate and in different ways together help the children to achieve different skills and to use their first and second language in a more appropriate way. The main problem identified from literature and own observations is why library and preschool dont collaborate to help young children to develop their language skills? Which reasons are behind a lacking collaboration? What can be done to increase collaboration between the library and the preschool? How can librarians and preschool teachers use their different professional skills in the best manner to be able to help the children to develop their skills in language acquisition? Is it possible to measure childrens language skills and how can one decide what characterizes a good collaboration? We started with a literature review and continued with collecting qualitative data by means of interviews with people who worked as librarians and preschool teachers, who were supposed to collaborate in a language oriented project. We have chosen different language theories by well-known scientists and we have only picked a few of them, which we considered relevant for the chosen topic.

De enbart finansiella styrsystemen kritiserades av Johnson och Kaplan (1991) vilket ledde till att Kaplan och Norton (1992) utvecklade det balanserade styrkortet. Det balanserade styrkortet avser att mäta både finansiella och operationella prestationer för att få en helhetsbild över företags prestationer. Bankbranschen är ständigt föränderlig och konkurrensutsatt, vilket ökar behovet av kompletta styrsystem för att mäta bankernas prestationer. Det balanserade styrkortet har utvecklats från ett mätsystem till ett strategiskt verksamhetsstyrningsverktyg. För att använda det balanserade styrkortet som ett strategiskt verksamhetsstyrningsverktyg är fyra processer centrala, översätta visionen, kommunicera och länka, verksamhetsplanering samt uppföljning och lärande. Denna studie baseras på en fallstudie av Nordea Bank AB?s rådgivningskontor i Umeå som ämnar undersöka hur banken använder det balanserade styrkortet som strategiskt verksamhetsstyrningsverktyg.

Värdegrundsfrågor är idag ett aktuellt ämne när kvalitet i äldreomsorgen diskuteras och värdegrundsarbete är starkt relaterat till bemötande. Syftet med vår uppsats var att undersöka hur äldreomsorgschefer arbetar med bemötandefrågor. Vi har intervjuat sex chefer på vård- och omsorgsboende i Stockholm med en kvalitativ induktiv ansats. Vi gjorde en perspektivanalys med olika ledarskapsperspektiv, handlingsutrymme och dialogens betydelse som teoretiska utgångspunkter. Vårt resultat ger en bild av att cheferna har en värdegrund som ett stöd i bemötandefrågor men vi ser att ett fortsatt arbete kring komplexiteten med bemötandefrågor bör utvecklas.

Ledarskap är ett ämne som fascinerar många och det finns omfattande forskning på området. Det finns flera olika teorier och modeller inom ledarskap och för en chefsrekryterare kan valet av dessa påverka framtiden för många människor. Syftet med undersökningen var därför att genom kvalitativ metod beskriva vad en ledare är för chefsrekryterare. Insamlingsmetoden bestod av halvstrukturerade intervjuer med fem chefsrekryterare. Intervjuerna tolkades utifrån riktlinjer för tematisk analys.

Många teorier utgår från att det går att åtskilja inre och yttre motivation, då den inre förklarar drivkrafter och behov som leder till handling, och den yttre beskriver hur omständigheter som belöningar och respons påverkar motivationen. Våra intervjuer har påvisat att uppdelningen mellan inre och yttre inte lämpar sig inom restaurangbranschen, då den ena skapar förutsättningar för den andra. De problem som inleder uppsatsen har fått en ny betydelse, då vi fått insikt att problemen istället är faktorer som hjälper branschen framåt genom motiverad personal. Det är därför högst relevant att ledare är väl insatta i vad det är som driver dess serveringspersonal, för att sedan med hjälp av yttre motivation ytterligare stimulera och utveckla och därav skapa en motiverad personalstyrka för att arbeta enligt restaurangens intresse..

 Over the past ten years, the pupils' performance and grades has fallen and the number of competent to high school has decreased gradually. The Swedish school has been criticized and the role of the teachers has been questioned, among other by the media. In autumn 2007 Johannesskolan, one of Sweden's tenth worst schools replaced the ordinary teachers of Class 9A against eight of the country's "main" educators with the goal of the class to become one of Sweden's third major. The teachers have the autumn term in which to achieve the goal and the outcome will be measured by national tests in core subjects Swedish, English and Mathematics. The aim of this paper is to examine the role of the teacher's leadership in relation to the pupils' social and intellectual development, and identify common leadership of these eight educators.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the handling of difficulties encountered by Swedish managers in Swedish subsidiaries in South Korea. By identifying the most common and possibly most manageable difficulties specific to the market we categorized them into three different groups; external difficulties, internal difficulties and difficulties related to the leadership. Depending on where in the environment and in relation to which stakeholder the difficulties originate the managing process comes to be supported through sometimes contradictory theories. Our study implies that the proper handling is crucial to satisfy local expectations which are critical for survival of Swedish companies. It also implies that the leadership skills acquired by the Swedish managers combined with the level of acceptance for foreign managers among the Korean coworkers affect how influential the manager?s ambitions are.

Background: Insufficient nutritional support is associated with prolonged hospitalisation, impaired wound healing and impaired survival for patients in intensive care. In severe sepsis and septic chock, calculation of nutritional need is complicated since the metabolism is affected by decease. Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate nutritional support and to examine the quality of nursing documentation of nutritional status and nutritional support in patient records in severe sepsis and septic chock.  Method: The study was conducted as a retrospective investigation where 64 patient records were studied. The quality of documentation was examined in 10 patient records using an examinational model.Findings: Calculation of average nutritional support showed insufficient supply particularly in the two first days of intensive care. During the next five days nutritional supply was higher but individual variation was seen, why a clear picture of nutritional support is hard to detect.
