The Swedish armed forces are facing a change, a change in both organization and profession. From a conscript military service system, the Swedish Armed Forces has changed to having full-time contracted soldiers. Conscript military service has a history of over a hundred years; it was introduced in 1901 and has survived two world wars and the Cold War.The Swedish armed forces have changed to have contracted soldiers. My reflection is whether the armed forces really have had time for this changes that the new professionalization has meant. Today the Swedish armed forces consists of contracted soldiers, soldiers who are employed full time and costs the armed forces a lot of money.

This master's thesis is about alternative career opportunities for library and information science graduates. Ever since the beginning of our education we have been interested in working outside of the traditional libraries. Now that we are about to receive our degrees in library and information science we are doubtful if the competence we have obtained is enough to meet the demands of the labour market. The employment field we have been studying in this master's thesis is information management, since this is a field that we find comparable to library and information science. Our study involves a qualitative survey amongst recruiting companies to investigate how the recruiters value different educations, competences and personal skills when they employ staff within the field of information management.

Att lindra smärta är en av allmänsjuksköterskans stora arbetsuppgifter och smärta som ett fenomen är något som varje person upplever individuellt. Därmed blir det en svår utmaning för vårdpersonal att behandla den enskilde patienten på bästa sätt. Syftet med litteraturstudien var att belysa vilka smärtlindringsmetoder och läkemedel som används postoperativt vid bukoperation, samt vilken omvårdnad allmänsjuksköterskan utför vid smärta. Vidare var syftet även att belysa patientens förväntningar och erfarenheter av smärta. Tio vetenskapliga artiklar låg till grund för resultatet.

Syfte: Att studera föräldrars uppfattning om den preoperativa information de får inför sitt barns planerade operation, samt undersöka om och på vilket sätt föräldrarna anser att informationen behöver förbättras.Metod: Kvantitativ, deskreptiv enkätstudie. Enkäten innehöll främst standardiserade frågor men även några öppna frågor. Föräldrar till barn i åldrarna 0-3 år inneliggande på en barnkirurgisk vårdavdelning ombads delta i studien. Antalet insamlade enkäter var 22 stycken.Resultat: Föräldrarna var som helhet nöjda med den preoperativa informationen, majoriteten ansåg att mängden information varit lagom omfattande och att informationen från personalen oftast gavs på ett sätt så att de förstod. Några föräldrar ansåg att informationen gällande det postoperativa vårdförloppet delvis varit bristfällig.

This paper examines how and if the understanding of wedding photography has changed during the shift of technology - from analog to digital photography. It examines if the changed conditions due to the shift of technology have changed the habits and conditions for the photographers working with wedding photography. It furthermore examines what impact these habits and conditions have had on the pictures of weddings. The investigation is based on interviews of six photographers that have worked professionally before and after the shift of technology, as well as of pictures by the photographers taken before and after the shift of technology.Use of time and space has changed due to the shift of technology. The change has also had an influence on hierarchy among the photographers.

Bakgrund: Föräldrar är ofta oroliga i samband med barnets operation. Studier har visat att god information till föräldrarna kan minska denna oro. Dock har studier även visat att föräldrar till barn som ska opereras får ofta bristfällig information både pre-, per- och postoperativt.Syfte: Syftet med den här studien är att ta reda på hur föräldrar till barn som har opererats, på ett barnsjukhus i mellersta Sverige, upplevde informationen de har fått pre-, per- och postoperativt.Metod: Kvalitativa intervjuer genomfördes med nio deltagande föräldrar. Data analyserades med innehållsanalys.Resultat: Den skriftliga hemskickade informationen upplevdes bristfällig då information om operationen samt hemsidan saknades. Den muntliga preoperativa informationen upplevde vissa föräldrarna som tillräcklig då de fick information angående operationen.

Bakgrund:I samband med utvärdering efter främre korsbandsoperation (acl-operation) finns det en diskrepans mellan funktionella tester och upplevd knäfunktion före uttröttning. Få studier finns där effekten av fysisk uttröttning utvärderas avseende idrottares upplevda knäfunktion. Syfte:Syftet med denna studie var att i samband med återgång till idrott 6-12 månader efter acl-operation, utvärdera om tillit till knäet, förmåga att ta i samt hopprestation skiljer sig mellan opererat ben och icke-opererat ben före och efter kortintensiv generell uttröttning. Metod:18 personer mellan 17-48 år (9 män och 9 kvinnor), vilka 6-12 månader innan testtillfället hade genomgått primär unilateral acl-rekonstruktion, deltog i studien. Vid ett och samma tillfälle genomfördes tre funktionella hopptester på respektive ben; trippelhopp, triple crossoverhopp samt sidohopp. Testerna genomfördes både före och efter kortintensiv generell uttröttning. Inför samt efter varje hopptyp och både före och efter uttröttning, skattade försökspersonerna sin tillit och förmåga att ta i genom VAS-skattning. Resultat:Hopplängd/prestation samt förmåga att ta i var sämre i det opererade än i det icke-opererade benet, utom för sidohoppet.

It is estimated that 22 000 contaminated areas exist in Sweden today. In order to classify the risk of contaminant migration from these areas and to prioritize which of these contaminated areas should first be treated, the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has designed a method, for the investigation of contaminated areas (MIFO). One of these contaminated areas is the landfill Gräsötippen outside Köping. The landfill has been used by both Yara AB and the Köping municipality between the years 1945 and 1975, and both industrial and household waste have been deposited there. The aim of this report is to survey which contaminants that can be found in the soil and water in the landfill Gräsötippen and to evaluate the migration of these contaminants.

Akutmottagningar idag får ofta in barn som behöver opereras akut. Personalen på akutmottagningen ställs då inför en situation där de inte hinner informera och förbereda barnet på vad som ska ske. Detta kan skapa en otillräcklighetskänsla hos anestesisjuksköterskorna på operation som därmed får ta hand om ett barn som inte är förberett på vad som kommer att hända. Att skapa förtroende hos barnet är en process som inte kan skyndas på och kräver mycket tid ända från första mötet med barnet. Denna studie vill belysa vad anestesisjuksköterskorna baserar sina val och strategier på i detta möte.

This thesis examines how to improve the exhibition of products within retail for clothes and gift articles. The purpose is to investigate and test how light sources and different directions of light affect how the products are perceived regarding their exhibition. Our question formulations are:To what degree does the level of light in combination with the background of the interior design of a shop affect whether a product is perceived more or less attractive?What can we recommend to make the exhibition of products more attractive? From our observations shops nowadays have relatively high levels of light when they expose products on vertical areas. We have looked on the recommendation from ?Energimyndigheten? in order to see what they think is important when designing retail lightening.
