Due to stress, the workplace is a setting where actions of health promotion are of great importance in the perspective of public health. Stress is caused by heavy workload, low control of organizing their tasks and lack of support from colleagues and supervisors. This can lead to cardiovascular disease, depression and insomnia. Due to the health problems that this causes, it is important to examine how senior immigration offices perceive their psychosocial work environment.The aim of this thesis is to examine how the senior immigration offices at the Migration Board perceive their psychosocial work environment. The study is based on a qualitative approach with deductive content analysis and the data has therefore been collected through interviewing six people based on a semi-structured interview guide.The result has shown that the senior immigration offices are pleased with their work environment and that their workload is constantly changing.

Det huvudsakliga syftet med studien var att med hjälp av ett hermeneutiskt förhållningssätt söka en förståelse av lärares syn på interaktionen elev- lärare. Fokus har vilat på attitydförändringar hos eleverna, under en 40 års period. Studien har lutat sig mot det sociokulturella och socialpsykologiska perspektivet och utgörs av en kvalitativ metod, där fem lärare har blivit intervjuade i en mellanstor stad i Sverige. Den teoretiska bakgrunden inleds med en definition av begreppet interaktion och belyser tidigare forskning kring interaktionen elev- lärare. Det ges även en överblick av begreppet attityder och normbrytande beteende i relation till påverkansfaktorer i vår omgivning. Bakgrunden behandlar likaså de större samhällsförändringar som skett sedan 1970-talet i form av postmodernitetens framfart och kommunaliseringen av skolan på 1980-talet.

The aim of this Master?s thesis was to find out more about the delimiting quality- and shelf-life parameters over time for liquid oat-based products. According to that, to present applicable subjective and objective shelf-life test approaches at accelerated conditions.

This study focused especially on products, which suffer from quality failure caused by oxidation, such as liquid oat-based products.

From underwater boat to submarine ? The development of the Swedish submarine service 1945-1960 The scope of this essay is the development of the Swedish submarine service during the period 1945-1960. The aim is to answer the following questions:- What kind of new technology did Sweden acquire when salvaging the German type XXI submarine off Gothenburg at the end of World War II?- In what respect did this technology differ from that of the Royal Swedish Navy and did it subsequently contribute to the tactical and operational development?- What tactical and operational development was accomplished between 1945-1960?The timeframe, 1945-1960, was chosen since this is when the analysis of the salvaged type XXI submarine and related effects was conducted. Furthermore, it is also during this time that the Swedish submarine service is beginning to evolve as a result of the new knowledge mentioned above and the experiences made by both the allies and the Germans during World War II.The theoretical framework primarily refers to the theories on naval warfare by Sir Julian Corbett.

This study is about how older people are portrayed in TV- commercials, and what those images are saying about senior citizens as consumers. I?ve chosen two of Sweden?s most popular TV channels that are broadcasting commercials and from those two channels recorded commercials in a period of one week, three times a day (morning, afternoon and evening/night).

This is an essay in Swedish on the subject of democracy and demonstrations of collective violence. The study is based on a conflict between the youth-house movement in Copenhagen and the state of Denmark - the city of Copenhagen. The focus is over the period December 2006 until January 2008 with reflection on the political movement around the youth-house from the 80's and onwards. This political movement roots back to the late 60's and especially the squatting movement, the BZ, of Europe which had a strong period in Denmark both in the 60's and the 80's. There is also a strong connection to other political movements of anti-fascism, anti-globalisation, queer activism and equal rights.

Avhorning är ett ingrepp som utförs rutinmässigt på kalvar och i mindre omfattning på killingar. Den vanligaste avhorningsmetoden i Sverige är brännjärnsavhorning. Ingreppet är smärtsamt för djuren, något som visats genom ökade smärtbeteenden samt förhöjda plasmakoncentrationer av kortisol. En metod för att minska smärtan är att ge lokalbedövning i samband med ingreppet. När lokalanestesin slutar verka ökar plasmakoncentrationen av kortisol och det har även påvisats att mängden smärtrelaterade beteenden ökar.

Informations- och kommunikationsteknologi (IKT) används dagligen i en organisationsverksamhet. De organisationsmässiga förändringar som sker inom organisationen bördå påverka eller påverkas av den IKT-utveckling som sker inom organisationen.Uppsatsens frågeställning är om det går att urskilja hur och i vilken utsträckning somdetta sker. Detta behandlas i uppsatsen genom att studera olika faktorer såsomorganisationens struktur, mål och strategi. När informations- ochkommunikationsteknologin förändras och utvecklas kan kvalitet och kvantitet förorganisationens produktion förbättras. Om det går att fastställa vilka faktorer sompåverkar olika förändringar, så skulle man kunna styra effektivisering,konkurrensförmåga och produktiviteten hos en organisation.I denna uppsats har ett högteknologiskt konsult- och forskningsföretag använts somundersökningsobjekt.

The aim of this thesis is to expand the understanding of 16th century Flemish art by approaching paintings by artists Pieter Aertsen (1508-1575), Joachim Beuckelaer (1533-1574) and Pieter Bruegel (c. 1525-1569) from a different perspective. This is done by extending the discourse of art history, into a discourse of literary history and primarily 16th century novels by authors such as François Rabelais and Miguel de Cervantes. The paintings are studied in relation to these 16th century novels, by comparison and as a testament of this specific time period. A widening contextualization is also constructed in which a connection to the expression of the carnivals ambivalent form, as well as the notion of lower classes is explored.
