The aim with the study was, that through a qualitative research approach, to examine in which way social services employees perceive information about children with incarcerated fathers and how they furthermore relates to the child's right to both parents in these situations. Seven interviews were implemented with social workers in the Stockholm County to obtain informa-tion on the following questions; how the children's needs are noticed at the social services, how employees discuss the child's right to their incarcerated father and which possibilities and obstacles social workers experience to promote contact between the child and the father. The ecology of human development theory was used in the analysis. The conclusions are that chil-dren with incarcerated fathers seldom is noticed at the social services as a result of inadequate cooperation between authorities but also due to whether the social services should be respon-sible for the children. Furthermore, children always have the right to maintain contact with their incarcerated father, with exceptions for situations where physical or sexual abuse have occurred.

Livmoderhalscancer påverkar de drabbade kvinnorna och deras närstående. Att inom sjukvården samtala om sjukdomens biverkningar och effekter kan upplevas som svårt. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva kvinnors upplevelser av att leva med livmoderhalscancer. En litteratursökning genomfördes och 10 artiklar analyserades med en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Detta resulterade i fyra kategorier: att förlora kvinnligheten och känna sig otillräcklig, att pendla mellan hopp och hopplöshet, att känna behov av närhet och stöd och att önska mer och tydlig information.

The purpose of this thesis has been to investigaste the phenomenon of self-harm. To investigate this phenomenon, I interviewed three experts in Malmö and then compared the result with previous research on self-harm behaviour.The questions I wanted to answer were the following: How common is self-harm behaviour and how does it, according to experts, manifest itself among young men in Malmö? What can we learn from previous research about the causes of self-harm? Are there any correlations between the statements made by experts and previous research?My conclusion is that self-harm behaviour first and foremost is a mean of expression, a way of dealing with feelings that the self- harmer cannot deal with in any other way. People who suffer from self-harm behaviour often seem to have difficulties both in expressing and understanding their own feelings. Furthermore, they have often experienced abuse, abandonment, or other childhood traumas.

Undersköterskors arbetsuppgifter inkluderar vård av patienter och hantering av servicesysslor. Hantering av servicesysslor samt förflyttningar på vårdavdelningen upptar en väsentlig del av en undersköterskas arbetstid.

Studien analyserar hur undersköterskor fördelar sin tid mellan olika aktiviteter samt utformningen på hur en framtida utbyggnad på vårdavdelningen kan tänkas utformas. Metoder som användes var tidtagning med stoppur, kostnadsberäkningar, simuleringsmodell samt intervjuer inom relevanta yrkesområden.Studien erhåller en kartläggning över hur nuläget ser ut för undersköterskor på en vårdavdelning.

i samhällsdebatten om våld i parförhållanden ligger fokus på våld mot kvinnor, samtidigt som forskning successivt intresserar sig för män som våldsoffer för sin partner. Den största faktorn som påverkar benägenheten att anmäla brott är brottets allvarlighet. Syftet med studien var att undersöka om det finns köns- och kulturskillnader i benägenhet att anmäla misshandel i parförhållande och huruvida anmälningsbenägenhet påverkas om ett barn bevittnar misshandeln. En fallbeskrivning av misshandel i ett parförhållande lästes av 80 undersökningsdeltagare, hälften från Afrika och hälften från Sverige. De fick sedan ta ställning till huruvida de skulle polisanmäla om de var offret.

Abstract: Private equity used to be synonymous with tremendous yields and rates of return. However, the private equity market trembled in 2008, due to the financial meltdown caused by the worldwide credit crisis. Considering the current low number of exits within the private equity industry, the purpose of this thesis is to examine if there has been any change in how private equity firms control their portfolio companies since the inception of the crisis. One private equity company and two portfolio companies have been studied. The case study is prepared from interviews with senior directors in the portfolio company and investment managers in the private equity firm.

The aim of the study was to illustrate how care managers reflect and act in regards to self-determination and integrity when caring for residents over 65 years old who have a dementia diagnosis. Our main questions dealt with how care managers handle the right to self-determination and integrity when a person has dementia, to which extent the care managers listen to the person with dementia and how the care managers look upon the residents with dementia?s ability of self-determination. To find the answers to our questions, we interviewed ten care managers within the elderly care in Gothenburg, Sweden. We used qualitative interviews based on a semi-structured interview guide.

The purpose of this thesis is to explore the co-creation process and how value is created based on a service orientation using a network perspective. The thesis is studied from a social-constructionist philosophy, using a qualitative approach of data collection and the theoretical framework includes network theories, theories of service-orientation and co-creation. We have conducted semi-structured interviews with a small firm and its network, which consists of a customer, a supplier and a partner. We found that Håkansson?s ARA framework combined with Ballantyne and Varey?s triangulation of value-creating activities help to acquire an understanding of the actors? bonds, the resources? ties and the activity links that exist in a network.

Barnmisshandel kan förekomma i alla samhällsklasser, trots att det enligt lag är förbjudet att slå sitt barn. Barnmisshandel brukar delas in i fysisk-, psykisk- och sexuell misshandel. För att kunna identifiera barnmisshandel måste skolsköterskan ha kunskap inom området, vilket saknas idag. Syftet med studien är att beskriva skolsköterskors kunskap och roll i att identifiera barnmisshandel. Studien utfördes som en litteraturgranskning och belyser flera tecken som skolsköterskan bör observera vid misstänkt barnmisshandel.
