 The number of hidden refugees in Sweden is estimated to be at least 15,000. The law, which only allows this group a very limited access to health care, can be considered to clash with the human rights and the ethical codes related to the health care professionals.The aim of the study was to examine how the personnel in public health care may experience treating hidden refugees and which ethical conflicts that may be connected to this. The study, which is of a qualitative descriptive design, is based on eight semi-structured interviews. The interviewees were trained nurses and mid-wives in an emergency room, a maternity ward and a health care centre for asylum seekers.The experience of treating hidden refugees amongst the informants was limited. The study proved that the knowledge of laws and guidelines regarding hidden refugees amongst the interviewed health care personnel was poor.

The theoretical background shows that person-centered care includes partnership, participation and structured documentation.Results: The results of this study show that even a fourth category, organization, emerged and needed to be reported.

Kurs/nivå:            2FE16E, KandidatuppsatsFörfattare:            Martin Alm, Anton Bengtsson, Pär IvarssonHandledare:         Dan HalvarssonExaminator:         Åsa DevineTitel:                     Bakomliggande motiv, alla har dem.Nyckelord:           e-WOM, electronic word-of-mouth, e-wom motiv, sociala medier, Facebook. Bakgrund:            Att veta varför kunder delar med sig och sprider information om företag har blivit viktigt för företag om de vill effektivisera sin marknadsföring på Internet. Mycket av den tidigare forskningen gällande e-WOM har fokuserat på informationsspridningens effekt men inte vad kunder har för bakomliggande motiv till att sprida e- WOM. Forskning har också visat att det finns skillnader i hur kunder sprider e-WOM på sociala medier jämfört med övriga plattformar på Internet. Det är därmed betydelsefullt att på ett djupgående sätt utforska vad kunder, utifrån deras perspektiv, har för bakomliggande motiv till att sprida information om företag på sociala medier. Forskningsfråga: Varför sprider kunder e-WOM på sociala medier?Syfte:                    Syftet är att utforska kunders bakomliggande motiv till spridning av e-WOM på sociala medier. Metod:                  Utförd som en fallstudie av ett enda fall genom sex stycken semi-strukturerade intervjuer. Slutsats:               Undersökningen visade att det finns 15 bakomliggande motiv till kunders spridning av e-WOM på sociala medier.

Uppsatsen syfte är att söka klargöra hur stor betydelse charterbolagens varumärken har för konsumenten vid valet av charterbolag. Jag har använt mig av teorier rörande varumärkets betydelse ur ett konsumentperspektiv, konsumentbeteende samt marknadskommunikation som sedan applicerats på empirin. Empirin består av sju kvalitativa intervjuer varav tre varit personliga intervjuer och de resterande fyra har varit telefonintervjuer. Slutsatsen är att varumärket inte är av överordnad betydelse för mina respondenter vid valet av charterbolag. Respondenternas varumärkeskännedom om de största aktörerna är, med vissa undantag, god.

När mängden reklambudskap ökar och kostnaderna för att synas stiger blir det allt viktigare för företagen att just deras budskap bryter igenom allt brus och når fram till konsumenten. Detta har medfört att vissa företag sökt nya mer okonventionella sätt att göra sin röst hörd, fenomenet kallas gerillamarknadsföring. Tidigare forskning på området har främst undersökt företagens användning av gerillamarknadsföring, vilka typer av företag som kan dra störst nytta av tillvägagångssättet och vilka förutsättningar som krävs inom företagen. Vi har istället valt att studera gerillamarknadsföringen ur ett konsumentperspektiv.Resultatet av undersökningen visar att det existerar ett motstånd mot traditionell marknadsföring medan samtliga exempel på gerillamarknadsföring uppvisar bättre verkan. Uppsatsens huvudsakliga slutsats är att gerillamarknadsföringen lyckas skapa ett större intresse hos konsumenten än vad den traditionella reklamen gör.
