Denna uppsats behandlar arbetsmotivation och välbefinnande i arbetslivet ur ett arbetstagarperspektiv. Idag råder ett arbetsliv som bland annat präglas av hög flexibilitet, osäkra anställningar och ständigt förändrade villkor. Forskning visar negativa följder av dessa villkor som stress, sämre mental hälsa och lägre arbetstillfredsställelse. Samtidigt visar forskning att vikten av individers psykologiska anknytning till sitt arbete är hög i dagens informationssamhälle. Studiens syfte är att utveckla kunskap och förståelse om arbetsmotivation och välbefinnande i arbetslivet.

Saab Aerosystems has a long tradition and a lot of competence in the field of flight simulation. Their ambition to broaden the market horizon has led to a discussion about also selling vehicle simulation solutions, both for military and civilian use.The aim of this thesis is to investigate the driver?s experiences of the accelerations he or she is exposed to whilst driving in rough terrain. The results may be used as a basis for future decisions and can act as a platform for the construction of an effective simulation model.To investigate the driver?s exposure of acceleration, some kind of dynamic simulation is needed.

This study aims to examine how the interventions for homeless persons in the municipality of Kalmar are organized. The study is based on four half-structured qualitative interviews with both representatives from different instances and also from persons who have experience of being homeless.The theoretical bases we have used to analyze the material are organization theory, specifically the concept of bureaucracy. Our results show that homelessness is not seen as a problem in itself, since the general view is that homeless people often have a complex problem scenario where drug- and alcohol abuse and mental illness are common.It is often the latter that takes priority in the interventions and the housing question is therefore neglected. We also found that social services do not have a satisfactory structure around the organization of the work on homelessness. They do not have any specific device in Kalmar that focus on homelessness issues with the result that the existing units are forced to take care of the work of homelessness.

Syftet med föreliggande studie var att studera sambanden mellan Warr?s nio vitaminer i kontextfri och arbetsrelaterad form till tre mått på psykisk hälsa; nämligen välbefinnande, livstillfredsställelse och arbetstillfredsställelse samt att undersöka om det fanns demografiska skillnader i dessa mått. Studien genomfördes på ett industriföretag i Sverige med hjälp av en enkätundersökning. Totalt deltog 187 respondenter i undersökningen. Mätinstrument som använts är Warr?s vitaminmodell, Mental Health Continuum, Satisfaction With life Scale och Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire.

The share of problem gamblers increased for men between 18-24 years old during the period 1999-2009, while the share were steady or decreased for other classes of population. This study examines the relation between this development of problem gambling and the Swedish gambling market. The factors that are studied are the functioning of the market with a focus on the new Internet market for gambling, the games and the underlying risk factors in those, the marketing and other factors outside the gambling market. First a large literature review was made to map the development as detailed as possible. After that a qualitative analysis of the content in television commercials was done to see if they were made for the problem group.

Background:Life-cycle costing (LCC) is an investment calculation that takes intoaccount operating costs throughout the investee lifecycle. LCC calculations are mainly usedto evaluate investments that have no revenue side. Attempts to apply the LCC calculations forbuilding-related investments have occurred since the 1980s. Despite the advantages ofusing LCC calculations, use has not passed through in full. The main obstacles have beenidentified as a lack of relevant input data, and insufficient experience of workingwith LCC calculations.

Syftet med min studie är att se hur lärare arbetar med elever som har dyslexi med anknytning till skönlitterär läsning. Studien är en fördjupning i vad motivation är och hur lärare kan arbeta med hjälp av sina pedagogiska verktyg till att uppnå målet att motivera till läsning. Tre djupgående intervjuer står i fokus i uppsatsen som visar hur det kan se ut ute i skolverksamheten. Mina frågeställningar som ligger till grund för arbetet är: hur motiverar svensklärarna elever med dyslexi till att ägna sig åt skönlitterär läsning? och hur kan lärare utveckla sitt lärarskap för att skapa en trygg och intresseväckande relation mellan eleverna och skönlitteraturen? Resultatet av min studie visar att pedagogernas uppfattning om elevernas inställning till skönlitterär läsning är negativ men att lärarna arbetar aktivt för att motivera dem genom olika pedagogiska strategier som korta texter, humor, diskussioner, tekniska hjälpmedel med mera.

The aim of this thesis is to study young people's views on support, knowledge and change. The eight participants in this interview study are between 14 and 19 years old and they share the experience of growing up in a family where a parent is a substance misuser or mentally ill.Childhood sociology has been used as a theoretical framework. The main finding is that emotional and practical support based on the young person's needs and knowledge based on the ideas of empowerment and agency promotes change. The four most important insights according to the young persons are: My parent has got a problem. It is not my problem.

The aim of this paper is to shed some light on to what extent the process of making reality of Inclusion, as stated in International Declarations and in Government policies, has reached the actual educational activities in the school system. My chosen method is a case study, in which I have combined a survey with interviews in order to retrieve enough data for my analysis. I have also studied a number of policy documents and relevant literature. My analysis concludes, for the school that I have chosen to study, that there is still a lot to be done before inclusion becomes a reality. There are many obstacles to overcome, for instance; a constant struggle to obtain enough resources and to reach relevant levels of competence within the personnel.

Barn till psykisk sjuka kan ha ökad risk för psykisk ohälsa men detta kan uppvägas av tillgängliga skyddsfaktorer. Barn har blivit mer uppmärksammade inom vuxenpsykiatrin på senare år. Beardslees familjeintervention implementeras sedan 2008 i Sverige. Studien undersökte hur vuxenpsykiatrin stödjer barn till psykisk sjuka, speciellt angående interventionen. Tio anställda, utbildade i interventionen, från sju psykiatriska kliniker i Stockholm intervjuades.

Climate change is expected to lead to increased rainfall and higher temperatures, among other things. This will have a major impact on our cities. Floods can lead to property damage as well as damages to human and animal health. Higher temperatures will increase the frequency of heat-related health risks and premature deaths. The consequences of climate change will be particularly large in our cities because of the city's morphology with a high amount of paved surfaces and buildings that affect the natural processes in areas such as drainage and absorption of solar radiation.

Large quantities of chemicals are used in all areas of society. The chemicals can be toxic and dangerous for the environment if used incorrectly. To protect people and the environment from dangerous chemicals, a good control of them and an active work to phase out hazardous substances in all areas where chemicals are present, are needed. Banverket and Vägverket handle in production a wide range of chemical products. Many of the products are dangerous to the environment, for those who work with them and to others who may come into contact with them.

Studien behandlar, genom en kvalitativ ansats, de uttryck lärare har kring konflikter i arbetslag som en möjlighet respektive ett hinder i förhållande till lärarrollen. Vidare är studiens mål att skapa förståelse för konflikternas betydelse för lärarrollen. Kvalitativa intervjuer genomfördes individuellt med verksamma lärare inom årskurserna 3-6, vilka representerar tre skilda skolor inom samma kommun. Under lärarutbildningen har området konflikter främst behandlats ur ett elevperspektiv. Genom att vistas inom skolans värld har dock studiens författare uppmärksammat att konflikter även är vanligt förekommande bland lärare, där effekterna på olika sätt påverkat yrkesutövningen. I sammanhanget bildades ett intresse kring området, med utgångspunkt i huruvida konflikter verkar som en möjlighet, respektive ett hinder för lärarrollen. Resultatet av studien visar att konflikter i arbetslag uttrycks både som en möjlighet, respektive ett hinder, för lärarrollen.

The purpose of this study was to investigate patients self-rated ADL-function after a periprosthetic fracture, to view the demographics of the patient group and investigate any gender differences in ADL-function. Whether patients managed to return to previous housing after the fracture and reasons for this was also studied.This is a register-based retrospective and prospective cohort study with a quantitative approach. Demographic and anamnestic patient data was collected from the electronic health records. The participants were called for an interview where Katz ADL-index and EQ5D was used to describe the participants´ ADL functioning together with physical and mental functioning.The result shows that the majority of the participants rated themselves as independent in their ADL-function. No gender differences were noted in ADL-functioning.
