Stress har funnits förekomma i läraryrket. Stress kan samvariera med konflikter i den psykosociala arbetsmiljön. Studiens syfte var därför att undersöka om konflikthanteringsstilar hade något samband med upplevelsen av stress. Ett annat syfte var att undersöka vilken konflikthanteringsstil som var mest och minst förekommande, samt att belysa universitetslärares upplevda stressnivå. Ytterligare syfte var att undersöka om stress och konflikthanteringsstilar hade något samband med kön och ålder.

Introduction: Two women die every hour due to pregnancy and childbirth relatedcomplications in Bangladesh. It is well known that a strong midwifery profession is the key toachieving safer childbirth and it is the right of every woman to have access to a fully trainedmidwife and to a safe delivery. However this is not the case in Bangladesh. Today, theexisting nurse-midwives are not fully utilized for the midwifery services. The profession ismal-distributed, functioning as multi-purpose service provider and are not recognized as aseparate cadre of midwives.

Bakgrund och problem: Ett tolkningsutrymme har identifierats i IAS 38 gällande kriterierna som behandlar aktivering av FoU. Detta kan innebära ett problem då det finns risk för variation mellan företag i tolkning och tillämpning av kriterierna. Det kan i sin tur påverka jämförbarheten mellan företagen i redovisningen av FoU.Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att utifrån ett informationsasymmetriproblem studera jämförbarheten mellan företag i redovisning av FoU. Vi ämnar kartlägga tillämpningen av kriterierna i IAS 38 med avseende på variation mellan företag. En eventuell variation ämnar vi förklara utifrån hur företag förhåller sig till försiktighets- och matchningsprincipen.Metod: Metodvalet är en kvalitativ undersökning med djupgående intervjuer med fem företag i IT-branschen.

SyfteSyftet med denna studie har varit att, med elever ur två klasser i skolår tre, jämföra pojkars och flickors självförtroende kopplat till prestation i idrottsundervisningen. Vi har behandlat huruvida det finns några skillnader mellan könen i den uppskattade respektive upplevda prestationsförmågan gentemot den faktiska prestationen. Därtill har elevernas föreställningar om det motsatta könets prestation undersökts.MetodVi undersökte elevers självförtroende genom att mäta deras tilltro till sin prestation samt upplevelsen av denna. Respondenterna besvarade två självskattningsformulär, före samt efter genomförandet av ett motoriskt test. Föreställningarna om det motsatta könets prestationer mättes dessutom i det andra självskattningsformuläret.

The increased frequency of reported Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP) is of great concern to small animal healthcare due to limited options of antimicrobial therapy. The aim of this literature study is to investigate 1) characteristics and classification of S. pseudintermedius, 2) resistance mechanisms and emergence of MRSP, 3) risk factors for selection of MRSP, and 4) clonal distribution around the world. S. pseudintermedius is a skin and mucosal commensal in healthy dogs and cats, but can cause infections, including pyoderma. Beta-lactam antibiotics inhibit bacterial growth by binding to the penicillin binding protein (PBP), a vital enzyme in the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall.

I fo?ljande arbete underso?ks en partikelbaserad simuleringsmetod som kallas Fluid-partikelmetoden, FPM. FPM a?r designad fo?r att simulera komplexa fluiders beteenden pa? mesoskalan, vilken sammanla?nkar kontinuumskalan med den molekyla?ra skalan. Metoden utvecklades av Pep Espan?ol i slutet av 1990-talet och a?r en vidareutveckling och generallisering av Dissipative Particle Dynamics som togs fram av Hoogerbrugge och Koelman under tidigt 1990-tal.

The development of software was considered until the beginning of the 1990th as a cathedral like product development in closed companies. This way of development changed in the last decade. Open source software (OSS) development challenged this consideration significantly. OSS is produced in co-operation by skilled people, distributed and used by many moral agents. The result, the software itself, can be studied and modified.

Syfte: Syftet är att få ökad kunskap om förändring i hälsa och sjukskrivning hos individer/patienter med stressrelaterad ohälsa som bedömts av ett multidisciplinärt team. Ohälsa avser depression, ångest och utmattningssymptom samt hälsorelaterad livskvalitetUndersökt grupp: Personal med stressrelaterade problem anställd inom Västra Götalandsregionen och Försäkringskassan i Västra Götalands Län.Metoder: Jämförelse av sjukskrivningsgrad och hälsoläge vid, och 6 månader efter bedömning av ett multidisciplinärt team inriktat på stress och utmattningssymptom. Instrumenten för att mäta förändring i psykisk ohälsa är 3 självskattningsformulär, Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale; HAD, Psychologic General Well-Being; PGWB och Shirom-Melamed Burnot Questionaire; SMBQ.Självskattningsformuläret fylldes i innan första kontakten med företagssköterskan i teamet samt vid uppföljning efter 6 månader.Uppföljningen bestod i en kort telefonintervju med frågor om sjukskrivningsgrad och hälsoläget.Resultat: Sjukskrivningsgraden minskade hos 45 %, endast en hade ökat. Hälsoläget förbättrades hos mer än 50 % 6 månader efter mötet med teametAntalet personer med depression enligt HAD hade minskat från fem till en och de med ångest enligt HAD från åtta till tre.Tolv personer har minskat och fem har ökat sitt poängmedelvärde på SMBQ Globalskalan.Välbefinnandet enligt PGWB-skalan ökade. Antalet med poäng över 100 ökade från tre till åtta och de med poäng 95 eller lägre minskade från fjorton till tio.Slutsats.

Bakgrund: Subaraknoidalbl?dning ?r en allvarlig och potentiellt livshotande hj?rnbl?dning som kr?ver intensivv?rd. Traditionellt har dessa patienter h?llits i s?ngl?ge p? grund av risken f?r komplikationer, trots att det saknas evidens som st?der denna praxis. Tidig mobilisering anv?nds inom intensivv?rden f?r att minska komplikationer och f?rb?ttra ?terh?mtning, men dess effekter p? patienter med subaraknoidalbl?dning ?r inte tydligt kartlagda.

The aim of this study is to bring forward four teachers of Arts-education, their statements and reasoning concerning the condition and meaning of the subject of Arts-education along with their statements in relation to theory and earlier research, give voice and insight in their intentions according to what teaching of Arts-education should contribute to.The basis for the study is brought out of the dilemma that there, in the subject of Artseducation is ?crowding of matter? in the nine-year compulsory school, difficulties in selecting the importance of various subjects and different opinions between teachers, due to curriculum being modified in accordance with the development in society. The earlier research that this study relates to shows how teacher?s opinion of different subjects varies. My questions concerning the subject are the following;How do four teachers of Arts-education reason concerning the condition and meaning of the subject of Arts-education?What are the teachers intentions according to what teaching of Arts-education should contribute to?What are the similarities and differences between the statements of the teachers in this study versus the teachers' statements according to previous research?To find answers on my issues and questions I have made interviews with four teachers of Arts-education and have then put their reasoning and statements against theories , which  all concerns the creative process.

The present study concerns a concept development of a product idea that Bengt Magnuson, associate professor, had when a heavy storm caused a widespread power failure of long duration. With a basic power-producing unit one should be able to get through a power loss. The product could also be useful for other tasks if different modules are connected, e g grass mower or snow-blower.According to the product idea the basic unit will be able to produce electric power enough for a fridge, freezer, TV, and a few electric lamps. Normally the basic unit can be used e g as a mower, when such a module is attached. An increased number of tasks would make the contraption useful and tempting for those who do not own an electrical power set in reserve.

The aim of this study is to examine if library and archive will meet professionally in digitization projects. The study has been conducted as a discourse analysis in accordance with the methods of Norman Fairclough, professor of Linguistics at Lancaster University. The texts are seen as linguistic and semiotic elements of social events that can be analyzed as parts of the social process ? discourse. The relationship between events and structures in society will be part of the social practice.The basic data derive from five public documents collected from Swedish government agencies.

Purpose: To find out in what ways signs of healthier varieties in store, affect and possible change, customer behaviour. Methodology: The study has a positivistic view on the world. The research is conducted by an abductive approach using theory and empirical data alternately. Both quantitative and qualitative methods have been adopted in order to see changes in customer behaviour as well as explain it. Theoretical perspective: The study is based upon theories in the areas of customer behaviour (buying behaviour and decision making) and the store environment that could affect that behaviour (total merchandise process and point of purchase communication).

This study examines whether there is an association between the length of the client-auditor relationship and audit quality, using absolute unexpected accruals estimated by industry as a measure of audit quality based on a modified Jones model. The study is motivated by the proposal on mandatory audit firm rotation for publicly traded companies from the European Commission, which is based on the notion that longer auditor firm tenure creates a familiarity threat which reduces the audit quality. Both the relation between audit quality and auditor partner tenure and audit firm tenure is examined in this study, using multivariate regression controlling for auditor type (Big 4 versus non-Big 4), signing auditors (one versus two auditors), firm size, profitability, leverage and age. There is a significant negative relationship between audit quality and audit partner tenure when only companies employing Big 4 is tested, which indicate that auditors constrain managements extreme accounting measures with longer tenure. The results provide no significant evidence of an increase in the absolute unexpected accruals with audit firm tenure, when only Big 4 companies are tested.
