The aim of this study is to map the consumption patterns of the poor. We also examine if loyalty can be created in this segment, and try to discover different types of poverty. This study is of great importance since the poor segment has been slightly overlooked in marketing research. Therefore we have also turned to other academic disciplines such as sociology, ethnography and consumer culture in order to analyze our empirical input. The study is abductive and we have in a qualitative and ethnographical manner conducted interviews in order to obtain information and reveal categories.

The purpose of this paper is to give a view of how violence and victims has been portrayed in novels. I have chosen 6 books where the main character is a child who has been exposed to physical, mental and/or sexual violence. I have asked questions to the book and I have tried to find patterns in the child's strategy to cope with violence and how the violence is described. I have also written two chapters about earlier studies of this field and theoretical standpoints. The main perspective I present is the salutogenese perspective and how people create meaningfulness in their lives.The children in the books have different ways to handle their situations.

Syftet med den här undersökningen har varit att ta reda på hur förskolan har påverkats av den idag rådande konkurrensen. Under 1990-talet förändrades förskolans förutsättningar genom valfrihets och etableringsfrihetsreformer. Undersökningarna i studien har gjorts genom kvalitativa intervjuer med förskollärare med fokus på deras syn på förskolan. Parallellt har tre stora dagstidningar, andra medier, hemsidor som Skolverket och Fristående förskolor samt tv-kanalen Svt granskat. Detta för att ta reda på vad som skrivs om den Svenska förskolan.

SammanfattningBakgrund: Nutrition är viktigt i alla människors liv. Sjukdom påverkar individens närings- och energibehov. Malnutrition ger negativa följder för individens återhämtning vid sjukdom. Upp till hälften av patienterna på svenska sjukhus lider av malnutrition eller har för litet nutritionsintag i förhållande till näringsbehovet. Sjuksköterskan har i sin profession omvårdnadsansvaret över patientens nutrition och ska arbeta utifrån vetenskap och beprövad erfarenhet.Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva sjuksköterskors inställning till nutritionsomvårdnad.Metod: En litteraturstudie med systematisk sökning och deskriptiv design har genomförts.Resultat: Osäkerhet fanns hos sjuksköterskor angående ansvaret, men de angav en positiv inställning till bedömning av patienternas nutritionsstatus.

The aim of this thesis is to discuss and analyse the media debate about feminist self-defence, by pointing out the pros and the cons. The arguments in favour could be separated into three different parts: statistical arguments, psychological arguments and justice arguments. The counter arguments could also be separated into three parts: general arguments, violence-related arguments and gender-related arguments. In short, feminist self-defence is built on women's experiences of men's violence. It contains three different parts to help women avoid violence, threat of violence, insult and sexual harassment.

SAMMANFATTNING Mycket av rapporteringen kring förskollärares arbetsvillkor består av ?eländesskildringar? (Westin 2003). Därmed är det lätt hänt att personalen positioneras som offer i sin yrkesutövningsroll. Jag var intresserad av att betrakta människorna som arbetar som förskollärare ur en annan synvinkel; nämligen som aktörer kompetenta nog att påverka sin situation och utföra ett engagerat arbete på arbetsplatsen. Strategierna de använder sig av för att nå dit kan förstås slå fel ? Aronsson, Astvik & Gustafsson (2010) beskriver t.ex.

 Like adult obesity, childhood obesity prevalence is rising, especially in the Western World.As many as 20 ? 25 percent of the ten years old children are overweight in Sweden. It isimportant to early identify overweight, since overweight could lead into diabetes, mentalsuffering, hypertension and cardiovascular disease.The aim of this study was to describe how nurses experience and perceive the conversationwith parents of overweight children. A qualitative method with a content analysis has beenused. Six nurses working in child health centre have been interviewed.The result shows that the conversation between the nurse and the parents of an overweightchild can be very difficult.

Syftet med arbetet var att undersöka möjligheten för optimering av produktflödet. Företagets produkter transporteras på ett transportband till en gemensam process. Det nuvarande flödet till processen är inte optimerat vilket resulterar i att processen körs ineffektivt. Ackumulering av produkter innan processen ska därför undersökas som en lösning till problemet.Fyra olika ackumuleringsförslag har analyserats och jämförts: hängande bansystem, palleteringssystem, depalleteringssystem och kombination av bansystem och palleteringssystem.Förslagen har blivit bedömda och jämförda utifrån följande parametrar: yta, investeringskostnad, flexibilitet, arbetsbelastning, arbetsmiljö och tid. Hängande bansystem fick det högsta snittvärdet och valdes därför för fortsatt analys med stöd av simulering.

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate if elementary school teachers are a vulnerable professional group and if elementary school teachers should be mentally prepared for abusive treatment. Thus determine whether the reduced possibility for certain professionals such as police officers and order guards to obtain compensation for abusive treatment also shall apply for elementary school teachers.To reach that purpose, first the concept of abusive treatment and how compensation for abusive behavior becomes topical have to be straighten out. Then follows an analysis of both the lower possibility to obtain compensation for abusive treatment, but also how elementary teachers can be mentally prepared abusive treatment.It turns out in the conclusion that elementary school teachers are considered vulnerable in relation to the specifications of their work environment and because of that elementary school teachers must be deemed to have knowledge of that they may be subject to abusive treatment. Therefore I believe that elementary school teachers as certain professionals like police officers and order guards may not be granted compensation for every situation of abusive treatment, a lower limit must apply..
