Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur djur, med fokus på hundar, används som hjälpmedel i behandlingsarbete samt vilka effekter användningen av hundar anses ha. Vi fördjupade oss i de metoder som finns med djur som hjälpmedel samt studerade ett exempel på ett behandlingshem där hundar används i vård- och terapisyfte. Genom en litteraturstudie och en kvalitativ intervjuundersökning har vi fått svar på följande frågeställningar: Hur kan hundar användas som hjälpmedel i behandlingsarbete och vilka arbetsmetoder finns? Vilka fysiska och psykiska effekter kan användningen av hundar som ett hjälpmedel i vård- och terapisyfte ha? Vad gör en hund till en bra vård- och terapihund? Hur används hundar på en missbruksinstitution för äldre män? Resultatet pekar på att hundar kan användas i vård- och terapisyfte genom användning av de metoder som finns, det vill säga Animal-Assisted Activity, Animal-Assisted Therapy samt Animal-Assisted Therapy in Counseling. Vad som gör en hund till en bra vård- och terapihund är att den tränas på adekvat sätt, har ett bra temperament samt har en hundförare som ser till klientens och hundens bästa.

Hälsan skiljer sig mellan olika grupper i Sverige. Invandrare, arbetslösa, lågutbildade och personer med låg social status har visat sig ha en sämre hälsa. En betydande orsak för den sämre hälsonivån är livsstilsfaktorer så som kost, fysisk aktivitet, eller brist på sådan, och stress. Dessa faktorer kan påverkas, någonting som Hälsoteket i Angered vill underlätta för befolkningen i stadsdelarna Gunnared och Lärjedalen. Men upplever folk att de kan påverka sin hälsa? Syftet var att ta reda på om personer bosatta i dessa stadsdelar upplever att de kan påverka sin hälsa, och i hur stor grad de försökt göra det.

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how structural changes are depicted as well as formally brought about in the documents of rule and regulation of Uppsala University and Uppsala University Library the years 1999?2013. Beside the documents of rule and regulation, also documents that is commenting on (or in other ways relates to) these are investigated. The study is based both in organizational theory and modern rhetorical theory. The results show that the University to a certain extent gained an increased possibility to micromanage the library?s working routines during the time span covered and the study traces the consequences this had on the library organization and reactions it evoked among the leaders and representatives of the library staffThis raised a debate between representatives from the University library and its mother organization, the University, regarding at which level in the whole organization decisions regarding the library?s forms of funding and everyday praxis.

The aim of my work was, from the point of view from my respondents and literature, to create a picture of why so many highly educated people born abroad don't have an employment that coincides with their education.The question at issue was: How come highly educated people born abroad don't have an employment that coincides with their education from the native country?In my work, I carried out interviews with six highly educated people born abroad that moved to Sweden in the 1990's. In my results and my conclusion I started with the view of the respondents and the literature, linked together to some theories I have found fruitful for my understanding of the respondents' answers.The theoretical starting point for analysis of my work was the human capital theory, the theory of growth, the signal and filter theory and Habermas' theory.The result of my studies show that there are several factors that causes many highly educated people born abroad to have difficulties in getting an employment that coincides with their education. Such factors are weaknesses in the language, the lack of networks within one's profession and the fact that it takes a long time to complement the education..

Friluftsliv är ute i naturen där upplevelsen av naturen är viktigast tillsammans med fysisk motion i olika former, samvaro och rekreation, inte jämförelse eller prestation med tävling. Min studie syftar till att undersöka vad och hur högstadieelever och lärare tycker och tänker om friluftsliv i skolan på idrotten, främst ifall de ser en koppling om friluftsliv kan vara bra för hälsan. I studien har jag valt att använda mig av kvantitativ metod, det vill säga enkäter till elever, lärarna har jag inriktat mig på att intervjua. Studien har omfattat två stycken högstadieskolor i norra Sverige, totalt har 76 enkäter genomförts och bearbetats samt intervjuer med två stycken lärare. Resultaten synliggör att friluftsliv anses som något bra för hälsan.

Bakgrund: Typ 2-diabetes mellitus är en global sjukdom som snabbt ökar i antal. Den viktigaste delen av behandlingen handlar om att äta ?rätt? kost och allt fler personer blir i behov av kostrekommendationer och kostförändringar.Syfte: Beskriva personer med typ 2-diabetes upplevelser av att göra kostförändringar.Metod: Systematisk litteraturstudie där 13 artiklar, tolv kvalitativa och en kvantitativ/kvalitativ, analyserades med hjälp av innehållsanalys.Resultat: Många med typ-2 diabetes kände sig utanför och upplevde känslor av frustration, ilska, stress och oro. Kosthållningen upplevdes som svår på grund av att kostrekommendationerna var otydliga och ständigt förändrades, dock ansågs motion vara till hjälp. Vardagen upplevdes ofta som en kamp mellan vad som var bäst ur sjukdomssynpunkt, sina begär och frestelser.

The society in which we live is controlled by various kinds of rules, both written and unwritten. These rules tell us not only how we should act as humans but also how we should act as women and men. Adults teach their children the rules of the society in various ways, but they also act as model figures. Children are influenced by conscious and unconscious actions and also by activities performed by the adults. Furthermore, adults write children?s books which bring the essential content into children?s lives.

This thesis examines how the EU and Sweden aim to prevent radicalization through their strategies on preventing violent extremism (PVE). It contributes to PVE knowledge by examining how both actors plan preventive measures to combat radicalization and promote resilient societies. Analyzing Sweden's anti-terrorism strategy (Skr. 2014/15:146) and the EU strategy (COM(2020) 795 final), this study shows similarities in their approaches, particularly in targeting schools and youth with their preventive measures. Emphasis is placed on education to promote democratic and critical thinking, thus promoting resilience against radicalization.

Vårt syfte med denna studie har varit att öka vår egen kunskap om elever som sällan eller aldrig deltar i idrottsundervisningen på gymnasiet. Ingångsvinkel vi har valt till arbetet är att se om kön, fritidsaktiviteter och yttre faktorer som utseende har inverkan på närvaron vid idrottstimmarna i skolan. Genom detta skapa oss bättre förutsättningar i vår framtida yrkesroll att påverka dessa elever till att bli mer aktiva i undervisningen.Genom arbetet har även det funnits en tanke att öka kunskapen om hur elever ser på idrottsämnet. Vad som är roligt och hur de upplever olika moment. För att genom detta få en större förståelse för framförallt de elever som inte deltar, men även de som gör det.

The students have been assigned a task from Consid, were they are supposed to develop a web based platform for handling the company?s consult CV:s. The key features of the system are to simplify the administration part at mission procurements towards customers and to match qualified consultants to certain missions.Consid is an international it-consult company and have about 1000 consults working for them. When Consid makes mission procurements towards a customer they have to manually match the best consult against a certain mission, this is both time consuming and complicated.The students started the project with big visions and thoughts about how the work would be performed and how the system would be developed. After the initial meetings and the closer it came to the beginning of programming it became clear that the expectations were too big.

The study is based on three Swedish novels published in 1945,1956 and 1964, and three Swedish novels published in 1998, 2008and 2009. The aim has been to investigate how librarians are portrayed in Swedish literature, as well as a comparison between the older and the newer literature. What librarian images are portrayed in the analyzed literature? Is the portrayal mostly positive, negative or neutral? Are there any clear differences in how librarians portrayed in newer and older Swedish fiction? If so, what are they? The method used has been qualitative content analysis where relevant paragraphs have been coded and divided them into categories of appearance, personality, and professional identity. The conclusion is that the librarian is often portrayed as an intellectual and somewhat high-strung bibliophile.

Background: Students, at a secondary upper school, attending a practical programme have a lower physical capacity than students from theoretical programs. Our physical self-esteem has a great significance for our motivation in being physically active and thereby also for our health. The purpose: of this study is to find out if there is a difference between perceived physical self-esteem and objectively measured physical activity between students attending a practical programme and a theoretical programme. Method: Four classes, in a medium-sized town in the southeast of Sweden, participated in the study, two classes from practical programmes and two classes from theoretical programmes. All the students were in their final year at the upper secondary school, when they were part of the study during the autumn of 2011.
