Länge har utvecklare kämpat för att genom kreativa implementationer av gryende teknologi, särskilja och sprida sina applikationer och tjänster i konkurrensen av ett ständigt växande utbud. En av de senaste trenderna för att framkalla ett ökat engagemang och förbättrade prestationer bland användarna är gamification. Detta innebär processen att införa spelliknande moment i applikationer för att öka deras interaktionförmåga och på så sätt möjliggöra för motivation att uppstå inom användaren. Lyckade exempel på gamifierade applikationer har snabbt sprungit om sina konkurrenter både vad gäller användarlojalitet och popularitet vilket får många att fundera på nya användningsområden för tekniken. I detta arbete vill vi besvara frågor kring hur gamification kan användas för att öka engagemang, kunskap och prestation hos användarna i ett av dessa nya områden, försäljning.

The Swedish alcohol market has for many years been in the hands of the government. The question of the monopoly, its being or not being, has for a long time engaged both Swedish citizens and politicians. Since joining the European Union it has also been on the European agenda, trying to adapt Sweden to the more liberal alcohol politic in Europe.The suppliers find themselves acting on a completely different market than a market based on free competition. The suppliers are faced with one retail channel to the stores which creates dependence and uneven power balance towards the retailer. In addition to this, their marketing activities are strictly limited due to the laws and claims.

The Syrian Muslim Brotherhood has since the start of the Syrian uprising in March 2011 moved from a low-key position in exile to become one of the main actors in the political opposition. There appears to be a consensus among researchers today on the democratic commitment of the Syrian Brotherhood. However, ambiguity remains regarding its commitment towards gender equality, women?s rights and participation. This essay focuses on the gender discourse of the Syrian Brotherhood?s leadership, according to its policy-documents, from 2004 ? 2013.

The application of the LSS law and how the public organization (Municipality of Hudiksvall) later had to reform their organization to fit the new demands is the foundation to this master's thesis. An internal evaluation was performed due to this reorganisation process within the social care department (LSS unit). The aim was to investigate and evaluate if the reorganization resulted in a better working environment and if the work load (distribution of work) became more evenly divided between the different unit managing directors. The primary empirical information to this master's thesis is collected from that evaluation report. The main aim of this master?s thesis is to answer if the organisational choice between specialised or de-specialised working tasks has an effect (experienced and measured) on the level of stress among the unit managing directors.

The purpose of this thesis is to explore what possibilities Swedish public library has to work with and promote integration. The possibilities are examined on the basis of internal requirements of integration, the role of public library in the civil society and its policy documents. Further, the thesis examines what Swedish National library politics could contribute to this particular field. The experience of integration politics shows that a genuine commitment from all parts of the society is required in order to build an integrated society. The part of a society that public libraries are closest to and have the greatest impact on is undoubtedly the civil society.

Utifrån tidigare forskning påvisas att den psykosociala ohälsan inom arbetslivet har ökat. En förklaring till detta kan vara att det mer flexibla arbetslivet gör att arbetstagarens gränser mellan arbete och fritid suddas ut. Arbetsrelaterat överengagemang, work over-commitment (WOC), har vid tidigare studier visats ha en negativ inverkan på den psykosociala arbetsmiljön. Brist på återhämtning är en faktor som oftare nämns i samband med psykosocial ohälsa. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka samband mellan arbetsrelaterat överengagemang och återhämtning samt om det skiljer sig åt gällande respondenter i privat respektive offentlig verksamhet.

The national curriculum states that the school actively should promote that women and men have equal rights and opportunities and that there is a responsibility to counteract traditional gender patterns. However do research observations show that teachers often treat girls and boys differently. Studies show that the teachers are influenced by their conceptions and their expectations of gender behavior. The aim of this study is to examine how teachers in preschool and primary school discuss gender awareness and how they state that they work with gender awareness according to the curriculum goals of counteracting the traditional gender patterns.The study is inspired by the phenomenographic research approach and the empirical material has been collected by qualitative interviews with eight teachers in preschool and primary school. The empirical material has together with earlier research and theories been analyzed and discussed in order to reach a conclusion.

Problemområdet som uppsatsen belyser är sambandet mellan organisationstillhörighet och autonom motivation inom IT-konsultbranschen. Forskning om dessa områden har tidigare utförts främst var för sig, men har på senare år kopplats mer och mer samman. Dessutom har undersökningarna inom konsultbranschen enbart gjorts på bemanningsföretag. Utifrån sambandet och i förhållande till nuvarande teorier tas tre hypoteser fram och prövas. Metoden som använts i undersökningen är en enkätundersökning bestående av frågor angående organisationstillhörighet och motivation.

The survey aims to highlight and describe how the schools' teaching strategies look like in the work of pupils from the neuropsychiatric disability AD/HD (Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder). The pedagogical strategies have been investigated in an integrated and segregated teaching method. The study is qualitative in nature where the interviews conducted, first with a student who has been diagnosed AD/HD but also with teachers from each school who is well versed in student teaching and work. The results of the study show that knowledge and commitment about AD/HD is crucial to students' role and function in school. If knowledge and commitment is sufficient for the student teaching tailored to student needs and the risk of misunderstandings occur decreases. Security is a key factor for students who have been diagnosed AD/HD and learning form in itself is no guarantee that students will feel safe. Students have in the two teaching methods stressed that they feel safe at school and with their education and therefore has no teaching method preferred.

Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att beskriva och analysera hur två olika organisationer arbetar med strategisk HRM vid högkonjunktur respektive lågkonjunktur.Metod: För att besvara studiens syfte har vi valt att tillämpa en kvalitativ undersökningsmetod. I studien har både primärdata det vill säga intervjuer samt sekundärdata i form av årsredovisningar, årsöversikt, hållbarhetsredovisning och hemsidor använts.Slutsatser: Den första slutsatsen i denna studie är att Coca-Cola Drycker Sverige AB och TV4 AB ser på HRM som mycket betydelsefullt och att medarbetarna är en central tillgång som kan utgöra en konkurrensfördel. Den andra slutsatsen är att Coca-Cola Drycker Sverige AB inte använder olika HR-strategier vid olika konjunkturer. Emellertid upplever vi att de gör små förändringar i sitt HR-arbete i olika konjunkturer men att de ständigt följer de övergripande HR-strategierna. TV4 AB arbetar på olika sätt med HRM vid olika konjunkturer.

Tvångsvård inom psykiatrin tillämpas runt om i världen när patienter inte bedöms kunna fatta adekvata beslut om sin egen omvårdnad. Tvångsåtgärder är ett mycket känsligt förfarande där patienten lätt utsätts för övergrepp och kränkningar när åtgärder vidtas utan hans eller hennes medgivande.Vi ville belysa patienters erfarenheter av tvångsåtgärder inom psykiatrin och på så vis ta reda på om eller hur vårdpersonal skulle kunna tillämpa denna kunskap för att förbättra vården.Denna systematiska litteraturstudie har gjorts med syftet att ta reda på hur dessa patienter upplever de tvångsåtgärder som de utsatts för.Studien omfattar sju artiklar som berör ämnet och har valts ut från tre databaser, PubMed, PsycInfo och Cinahl, från sökkriterierna ?commitment of mentally ill?, ?psychiatric patients?, ?involuntary commitment? och ?attitude?, beroende på vilka termer databasen rekommenderade. Artiklarna analyserades och fyra gemensamma teman belystes.Resultaten tyder på att många kränkningar sker vid tvångs-omhändertagande, men att flertalet patienter i efterhand accepterar den tvångsvård de utsatts för. De aspekter som påverkar upplevelsen positivt tycks vara god information, goda relationer med personalen samt delaktighet i vården.
