Today?s society has become more and more digitalized and we have access to more information than ever before. This has had a major impact on organizations and their work processes. For example have intranets become a common technical groupware to communicate and get relevant information from inside the organization. A common problem related to this is an over-reliance on the technology, where there's not taking into account that some informal and communicative means are difficult to occur through digital resources.The aim of this study is to examine the use of an intranet in a municipality, which consists of many different employees with various work situations.

Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att ta reda på hur kalvningsförlamning (Paresis puerperalis) påverkar mjölkproduktionen samt hur den kan förebyggas och behandlas. Kalvningsförlamning är en vanligt förekommande sjukdom som drabbar främst högmjölkande mjölkor. Förlamningen uppkommer några dagar innan kalvning eller några dagar efter, på grund av kalciumbristen (hypokalcemi) som uppstår när kon ska börja producera mjölk. Den visar sig genom att kon får svårt att resa på sig då musklerna slutar att fungera när kalciumhalten blir för låg. Resultat från en studie har visat att mjölkmängden var lägre i början av laktationen på de kor som haft kalvningsförlamning och sedan ökat efter 4 till 6 veckor, tills den nått den normala mängden mjölk som kon haft i tidigare laktationer.

 AbstractMy curiosity of students' use of images for reading led me to seek knowledge of the students view on the text illustrations in the literature and through interviews. This study is about how pupils in the school year 2 experience reading, especially with images. The purpose is to investigate the significance of illustrations in reading for students in school year 2. I also want to find out how students see themselves as readers and how the survey material believes that the students comprehend reading. Eight children, both girls and boys have participated in the interview.

The Swedish sports retail industry has experienced extensive growth during the last decade, and this has attracted new entrants to the market, both start-ups and international followers. This has inevitably put more pressure on incumbents, which are now confronted with major challenges as how to retain their customers and market shares. Customer loyalty has been proved to be an important factor for customer retention and proposed to constitute inertia of switching behavior. In light of this problematization, the purpose of this study is to describe the underlying factors of loyalty and whether purchase habits could further explain customer loyalty. The aim is also to understand the strategic implications of the factors involved.

Med grund i retorikens återkomst i ämnesplanen för svenskämnet på gymnasiet är uppsatsens syfte att genomlysa retorikens plats i undervisningen, att undersöka lärares förhållningssätt till och genomförande av undervisning i muntliga framställningar. Syftet har konkretiseras genom de två frågeställningarna: Vilket förhållningssätt uppvisar svensklärare på gymnasiet till muntliga framställningar, med avseende på betydelse för elevers betyg och kompetens samt dess relevans i förhållande till andra moment i kursen? Hur ser svensklärare på organisationen av muntliga framställningar i svenskämnet? För att leva upp till syftet och besvara frågeställningarna har tre halvstrukturerade djupintervjuer genomförts, och dessutom har två informanter lämnat in listor på de begrepp som används i undervisningen kring muntliga framställningar. Både tidigare forskning och uppsatsens undersökning visar på skilda förhållningssätt gällande muntliga framställningar i svenskämnet och dessutom framkommer varierande organisation av undervisningen. Inget enhetligt resultat uppnås, istället påvisar uppsatsen en bristande konsensus i frågan..

This thesis deals with questions about competences and qualities that librarians inpublic libraries find that they need to be qualified suppliers of literature (books andmagazines).Our aim is to problematize the competence of the profession in relation to promotingliterature, knowledge in literature and reading habits. We want to know what librariansthemselves think about their own competences when it comes to supplying andpromoting literature. Does it have to be a leisure interest or do they get the possibility toread during working hours?What do librarians think it means to be a qualified promotor of literature and how dothey acquire the right competence? Do they believe that their competence correspondswith the occupational requirements? How much of their knowledge about literature andpromoting literature comes from personal interest and commitment?We primarily used the theories about competence by Per-Erik Ellström. One of thetheories is the one of implicit and explicit knowledge.

Munnen är en viktig del av kroppen, men trots det så blir den lätt skild från övriga kroppen och placerad i en egen kategori. Komplikationer kan uppstå om inte munvården sköts och därför är det viktigt att sjuksköterskan har kunskap om munhälsa. Hur människor uppfattar sin munhälsa är individuellt och kan ge bra underlag i omvårdnadsarbetet. Syftet var att beskriva sjuksköterskans och patientens syn på munhälsa och dess påverkan på välbefinnandet. Arbetet genomfördes som en litteraturstudie och 13 artiklar användes till resultatet.

The purpose on this study is to determine the extent of possible connections between tendencies to increased violent behavior and increased alcohol consumption among a total cohort of girls in the 9th grade compulsory school and 2nd grade upper secondary school in a Swedish county. In 2004 the Epidemiological Department carried out a health-status survey, using a self-report questionnaire, with students from both private and public schools in a specific county in Sweden. All respondents (N= ca 4000), attending all compulsory (at 9th grade) and upper secondary schools (second tier) on the survey date completed the questionnaire. For this particular study, 9 questions from the questionnaire, all concerning self-reported violent behavior and alcohol consumption habits were used either individually or combined in index variables. The result showed that while violence experience is low among these 4000 girls, it increased in relation to a corresponding increase in alcohol consumption.
