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?).

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.

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.

The wood-living beetle Ceruchus chrysomelinus is a rare species connected to natural forests. In Sweden, it is red-listed as endangered (EN) and an action plan for its preservation has been done by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency. In this work I have therefore investigated how a translocation of the species succeeded after 17 years. I aimed to study the species dispersal biology, its substrate preferences and the supply of suitable wood on this site. The study was performed during 2012 in Pansaruddens nature reserve close to Uppsala in Sweden, which is a spruce dominated forest.

Jag har i denna uppsats genomfört de empiriska studierna vid AstraZeneca i Lund. Personerna som intervjuades arbetade i olika former av virtuella team, med kollegor såväl inom Sverige som utomlands. Genom den snabba tekniska utvecklingen under senare år har det uppstått nya möjligheter för människor att kommunicera med kollegor som är fysiskt placerade utanför det lokala kontoret. Samtidigt är många företag verksamma på global basis i likhet med det undersökta företaget AstraZeneca. I mitt uppsatsarbete har jag haft för avsikt att undersöka vilka faktorer som är särskilt betydelsefulla för att få ett väl kommunicerande och fungerande virtuellt team.

In addition to these, viral advertising is seen as an effective way to stand out from traditional advertising.Viral advertising where the sender is hidden or unclear is always seen as unethical.

There have been, in some rare cases, difficulties with clamping of inserts with U-holesin their tool holder. According to the complaints, the inserts could not be properlyclamped or could fracture when clamped. A study has shown that variations inclamping behaviour are mainly depending by the position of the screw hole in the toolholder and the centering of the screw hole in the insert.The focus of this project has been the centering of screw hole in insert. It has beenshown that the screw holes are not always enough centered in the insert. Theproblem may occur after a certain step in the production, i.e.

Uppsatsen behandlar frågan om huruvida högre takt i produktivitetsutvecklingen påverkar sysselsättningsgraden negativt i en ekonomi då förbättringar i arbetsbesparande teknologi medför lägre efterfrågan på arbete. Frågeställningen har uppkommit med jämna mellanrum genom historien sedan den första industriella revolutionen utan att något långsiktigt samband kunnat bekräftas. Uppsatsens undersökning av 10 OECD länder mellan 1979 och 2003 finner inte heller stöd för ett sådant långsiktigt samband. Däremot finns starkt stöd för att produktivitetsutveckling har negativ inverkan på sysselsättningen på både kort och medelfristig sikt. Utifrån detta kan arbetstillfällen räddas på kort och medelfristig sikt men inte på lång sikt då de, inom tillverkningssektorn och även generellt, ser ut att minska oavsett takten i produktivitetsutvecklingen.

Titel Segmentering för säkrare utlandssexFörfattare: Karin BrandtHandledare Ingela WadbringKurs: Medie? och kommunikationsvetenskap, fördjupningskursSyfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att genom en målgruppsanalys beskriva och segmentera svenska utlandsresenärer för att få vägledning i hur de kan nås i ett hivpreventivt arbete.Metod: Kvantitativ analys av enkäterMaterial: I mitt arbete med att analysera de svenska utlandsresenärerna har jag använt 2007?års SOM?undersökning med totalt 1700 svarande som valts ut via ett obundet slumpmässigt urval för att, på bästa sätt, representera den svenska befolkningen.Huvudresultat 65 procent av den svenska befolkningen reste utomlands minst en gång under 2007. Detta gör att den målgrupp som Noaks Ark vill nå i sitt hivpreventiva arbete måste segmenteras ytterligare för att kunna nås mer effektivt i en informationskampanj som vill förebygga hiv.I denna ytterligare segmentering av utlandsresenärerna kom jag fram till att de utgörs av två grupper; Sällanresenärer och Frekventa resenärer. Av dessa två grupper är de Frekventa resenärerna mest intressanta att studera då de skiljer sig allra mest från befolkningen i helhet.I den djupare målgruppsanalys som gjordes på de Frekventa resenärerna kom jag fram till att de i större utsträckning är unga män med hög utbildning och hög inkomst. De är oftare uppväxta i tjänstemannahem, i storstäder, boendes i storstäder och fler arbetar inom tjänstemannasektorn.Jag kunde också komma fram till att dessa Frekventa resenärer både är flitiga tidningsläsare och internetanvändare och att de har en tvådelad livsstil, en sundare och en mer flängig.

Som en följd av den globalisering som sker av samhället har många företag etablerat sig utomlands.  Detta medför att organisationerna kommer i kontakt med främmande kulturer som innebär nya utmaningar. Det är därmed av vikt att undersöka vad som motiverar människor i olika länder för att företagen skall kunna överväga en anpassning av sina motivationsstrategier.Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka hur svenska företag med kontor i såväl Sverige som Kina använder sig utav motivationsstrategier för att motivera sin personal. Vidare vill vi undersöka skillnaderna mellan vad som motiverar en svensk respektive en kinesisk anställd och hur ledningen anpassar och arbetar med motivationsstrategier som styrmedel.Arbetet har framställts, bearbetats och analyserats genom en kvalitativ forskningsmetod. Empiriskt material har samlats in genom djupintervjuer med fyra internationellt inriktade svenska företag. Förtagen är aktiva på såväl den svenska som den kinesiska marknaden och faller under benämningen Small and Medium Size Entrerprices.
