Syftet med denna studie var att studera hur yrkesverksamma lärare i förskolan, och lärare i skolans tidigare år, resonerar kring och uppfattar kreativt arbete kopplat till verbal språkutveckling. För att nå detta syfte gavs enkätintervjuer ut till tio stycken lärare i vardera av dessa två yrkesgrupper. När dessa sammanfattats gjordes en jämförelse med bakgrunden för att se hur lärarnas uppfattningar relaterades till tidigare forskning i ämnet. Resultatet visade att de flesta lärarna arbetar medvetet med kreativitet och verbal språkutveckling kopplat till varandra och att de hade flera idéer om hur man arbetar på detta vis. Slutsatser vi dragit utifrån detta är att lärare är medvetna om hur kreativitet kan användas för att stödja språkutvecklingen och att de försöker arbeta på så vis..

Bakgrund: Tidigare studier har visat på betydelsen av kommunikation, både verbal och icke-verbal, i mötet med den lidande patienten. En mellanmänsklig relation bygger på ett möte mellan människor som inte är fast i sina roller, som sjuksköterska och patient. Det är bara genom mötet sjuksköterskan kan få tillgång till patientens egentliga lidande, detta är nödvändigt för att kunna vårda, ge tröst och stöd. Syfte: Beskriva vilket stöd den lidande människan/patienten på sjukhus önskar av sjuksköterskan. Metod: Metoden som använts är en litteraturstudie med kvalitativ ansats, innehållsanalysen har gjorts med hjälp av Graneheim och Lundman (2004). Resultat: I resultatet framkom sju olika kategorier, ge det lilla extra, vara medmänniska, se mina behov när jag inte orkar, ge information som jag förstår, vara rädd om mitt förtroende, våga dela mitt lidande och lätta upp med humor..

Bakgrund: Årligen drabbas 12000 individer av afasi i Sverige. Det är ett stort samhällsproblem. Sannolikheten att som sjuksköterska stöta på dessa individer är därmed stor. Sjuksköterskor är i behov av mer kunskap om de kommunikationsmöjligheter som finns för att kunna främja hälsa hos individer med afasi. Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att belysa vilka möjligheter individer med afasi har till kommunikation.

De stora förändringarna inom det sociokulturella och teknologiska området har bidragit till utvecklingen av en ny dimension av marknadsföring, vilken har inriktat sig på att se och behandla kunderna som levande individer. Kundernas sinne, känslor och humör ställs i centrum. Att involvera människas sinne i tjänsteprocessen kan vara avgörande för kundens direkta upplevelse av olika köp- och konsumtionsprocesser.Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur humör och känslotillstånd, servicekvalitet, kundlojalitet och servicepersonal samspelar med interpersonell beröring vid ett servicemöte.Ett experiment utfördes i en detaljhandelsbutik för att mäta beröringens effekter. Hypoteser formulerades med utgångpunkt i att interpersonell beröring, i form av en lätt touch mellan armbåge och axel, bör leda till en positiv inverkan på kundernas känslotillstånd samt bidra till bättre kundupplevelse. Resultatet visade att interpersonell beröring har positiv inverkan på kundernas känslotillstånd samt ökar graden av den upplevda servicekvaliteten och stärker kundlojaliteten..

 This bachelor?s thesis purpose is to examine how library staff experiences the meeting with non-Swedish speaking users of public libraries, and how they solve different situations. Today there is not much research on this subject but we find these questions important to study because we think it is good to be aware of the situations that can arise and discuss how to solve any problems. To have a basis for this qualitative study we conducted group interviews with library staff, where they are asked about their experiences with non-Swedish speaking users. In the analysis the results of the interviews are compared to previous research and related to communication theory, which is the theoretical framework for this study.

This is a study about the communication interaction in the context of the reference work at some public university-libraries and some private company libraries in Gothenburg and Borås.

The intermediary needs to manage the communication with all the different patrons and different information needs of the patrons.

Inhiberingsförmåga, arbetsminne och verbal förmåga testades hos 25 treåringar i syfte att analysera barnens förmåga till inhibering. Tre instrument användes; inhiberingsuppgiften Less is More (en konkret del och en symbolisk del), arbetsminnesuppgiften Mister Peanut samt, för att testa verbal förmåga; deltestet ordigenkänning från WPPSI-III. Hypotesen var att inhiberingsförmåga skulle korrelera med arbetsminneskapacitet. Resultaten visade att ingen skillnad fanns i barnens resultat i det konkreta respektive symboliska deltestet. Arbetsminneskapacitet, liksom verbal förmåga korrelerade med resultaten i den konkreta uppgiften.
