Is the new technology always the best? This final project tries to determine if BIM is the melody of today, or if traditional 2D drawing is recommended. Perhaps a compromise is necessary, utilizing both methods.In order to answer this question, different views from the industry have been retrieved through reports, producers of software and users. The approach has consisted in building a 3D model of the school Råslättsskolan, house 01, along with interviews with people involved in the building process.When working in 2D it is hard to include the third dimension, mistakes are done and collisions happen that must be corrected, in most cases at the construction site. BIM is an incredible help since the model allows you to detect collisions and correct them.

My analysis consists of an in-depth study of the experience of a group of development programme participants who were exposed to the use of art and artistic work in organisation and leadership development, resulting in positive effects. My starting point is creativity as a concept according to paediatrician and psychoanalyst DW Winnicott who stresses how important playing and creativity is for us, even as an adult, for us to utilise our full potential. He believes that we have a psychological space ? a crossover area ? where the outer, objective reality and the inner, subjective reality meet. Playing, creative development and experiences occur in this space.

Animal-assisted therapy had its large breakthrough in the 1960-ties when a psychiatrist named Boris Levinson discovered the great advantages of involving animals in the treatment of patients. Therapy with animals involves that animals are used in a systematic way, in a person's process of treatment. The most distinguished companion animal used within this area is the dog, but horses, cats, rabbits, birds, dolphins and the most common farm animals are used in animal-assisted therapy. Most animals that are to be used for this specific purpose need to be trained in order to maintain their physical and mental health, but also to minimize the risks for the people that are involved. Most studies within this research area are focused on the positive effects on the patients and less on the effects on the animals.

Bakgrund: Humor är ett fenomen som genom historien haft varierande betydelse för människan. Inom omvårdnaden har kunskapen om humor ökat de senaste de-cennierna och lyfts fram som ett socialt redskap i kommunikation och relation mellan sjuksköterska och vårdtagare. Hemsjukvården är en vårdform där det upp-står en tät kontakt mellan sjuksköterska och vårdtagare och där humorn därför är viktig att uppmärksamma. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka sjukskö-terskans upplevelse av förutsättningar för humor och humorns betydelse i mötet med vårdtagare i hemsjukvården. Metod: Studien utfördes som en kvalitativ em-pirisk studie med datainsamling via semistrukturerade intervjuer.

Antalet äldre har ökat i samhället vilket leder till att fler äldre behöver vård och omsorg och för att möta detta är den hembaserade vården viktig. Den viktigaste orsaken är att det från ett samhällsperspektiv inte är rimligt att skapa tillräckligt med platser på äldreboenden för att bemöta de behov som finns. Brist på äldreboendeplatser kräver större resurser inom hemtjänst och hemsjukvård för att kunna vårda patienter i hemmet. Samhället har förändrats och anhöriga till äldre har inte möjlighet att vårda eller hjälpa sina kära i hemmet på grund av att de jobbar eller har flyttat till andra orter vilket gör det svårt för dem kunna finnas till hands. De flesta äldre är multisjuka och de har också avancerade sjukdomar som gör deras vistelse hemma mycket utmanande för distriktssköterskan (DSK), annan personal och anhöriga som vårdar dem.

Bakgrund: Patienter med pankreascancer har ofta stor symptomb?rda b?de relaterat till sjukdomen och den onkologiska behandlingen. Det medf?r m?nga g?nger behov av n?rst?endes st?d f?r att f? vardagen att fungera. I den personcentrerade v?rden ing?r den n?rst?ende som en del av partnerskapet.

In this paper we have examined why seniors do not use e-business to the same extent as other age groups. Seniors belong to the age group that, according to statistics from Statistics Sweden (SCB) in 2011, utilizes e-business the least in relation to the number who use the internet. To understand how seniors reason and perceive the possibility to shop on the internet, we have conducted four interviews with people from 65 years and older. We have let the respondents answer questions regarding utility aspects, e-business interfaces, general shopping habits, risks, and whether or not they usually shop online. We also found out how seniors reason when they sell products and services.

The aim of the study is to analyse the stories of four homosexual women with Muslim backgrounds about coming out as homosexuals, from an intersectional perspective. The experience of coming out as lesbian and the intersectionality are related to different social contexts. The homosexuality becomes a problem in connection to family and countrymen while the Muslim background becomes more of a problem in relationships. Heteronormativity and gender system appear to be cooperating systems of oppression.These women don?t describe themselves as oppressed, but potential oppression is still something that influences their lives.

AbstractIntroduction: Hand Arm Risk Assessment Method (HARM) is a tool to assess the risks of deve­lo­ping complaints of the arm, neck or shoulders during manual work. The method was developed in the Netherlands primarily for employers, but is also used as an aid to work environment in­spec­tors. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the HARM-method for assessment of biomecha­nical exposure of the upper limbs when performing manual tasks as well as its suitability to be used within work environment inspection. Methods: Ten labour inspectors conducted assessments of five video-recorded work tasks. Assess­ments made with HARM were compared with those made with the Assessment of Re­pe­titive Tasks (ART) tool and with ACGIH Hand Actvity Level (HAL) - both methods for assess­ment of bio­mecha­nical exposure of the upper limbs - and with the model for the assessment of re­pe­titive work in the pro­visions of the Swedish Work Environ­ment Autho­rity on ergonomics for the prevention of mus­culo­skeletal disorders, AFS 1998:1.

The world?s population reached more than 6.9 billion people in July 2011. It is expected that the population growth during the next 40 years will take place mostly in low-income countries and the population increase will be 2.3 billion people during 2011-2050. A rapid urbanization is also expected to result in 57.7 per cent of Africa?s population living in urban areas in 2050.

Dust that arises during the construction process is called ?construction dust?.People who are exposed for construction dust for a long period of time are atrisk to develop several forms of lung problems, allergies and cancer. Todayconstruction dust is a huge problem during the production in Skanska´srenovation projects. Every day workers are exposed of the unhealthyconstruction dust and it can cause lung problems and diseases after 10-30years. This is a problem that must be taken into account to obtain a betterworking environment on Skanska´s building sites.Skanska Sweden AB has given two students the task to investigate possibleproblems about the spreading of construction dust.

Bakgrund: Palliativ vård är en del av distriktssköterskans arbete inom hemsjukvården. Syftet med palliativ vård är att utföra åtgärder som syftar till att lindra lidande och skapa förutsättningar för livskvalitét för patient och anhöriga i livets slutskede. Den palliativa hemsjukvården ger patienten möjlighet att vårdas i sin hemmiljö och därmed kunna ta del av vardagen i större utsträckning jämfört med på en vårdinrättning. Distriktssköterskans arbete ska baseras på målinriktad humanistisk omvårdnad av patient och anhöriga där ansvaret är att råda, stödja, vårda och förebygga. Genom ärlig kommunikation och delaktighet i vården ökar tryggheten och tilliten mellan patient, anhörig och distriktssköterska.

Syftet med denna studie har varit att kartlägga och analysera svenska kvällstidningars representation och konstruktion av hotbilder i flyktingdebatten. Vi sökte också svar på hur journalister förhåller sig till begrepp så som ?invandrare? och ?flyktingar? i förhållande till ?etniskt svenska?. För att nå önskat resultat har vi använt oss av en kritisk diskursanalys, en metod som sträcker sig längre än en analys av bara texten, här sätts texten in i en samhällelig kontext. Vi har valt att analysera artiklar skrivna av Aftonbladet och Expressen, två ledande aktörer på den svenska kvällstidningsmarknaden.För att finna relevanta artiklar för vår studie använde vi oss av databasen Mediearkivet.
