The aim of this study was to investigate how individuals perceive the process of sexual/romantic attraction. A phenomenological approach was used, where the participants were asked to reflect as freely as possible upon a question formulated by the authors. 13 persons were selected through purposive sampling, eight men and five women, all between 20 and 30 years old were interviewed but only 8 were analyzed through phenomenological based software MCA-Minerva.

Information is one of the organization's essential resources, and as such it needs strategic management. The authors use the information audit, which was developed by Orna 1999 and Henczel 2000 as a tool to evaluate how well an organization's information activities connect to its mission, goals, and objectives, to evaluate the municipal politicians' information support in Härryda municipality. The decision situations met by politicians often are complex; they are ambiguous and unstructured, with a high level of uncertainty. Human information sources meet needs arising in this kind of decision situations best. Since most of the politicians work full-time besides being politicians, Härryda municipality has to substitute the human sources by textual ones composed of highly summarized information.

Alzheimersjukdom är den vanligaste av alla demenssjukdomar och den ökar i takt med att de äldre utgör allt större del av befolkningen. Det innebär en förändring för hela familjen när någon drabbas av denna kroniska sjukdom. Deras känslor pendlar mellan oro och ilska, mellan skuld och förtvivlan. Även de är offer - de tillgivna makar och övriga anhöriga som blir vittnen till hur en familjemedlem blir sämre för var dag. Under sjukdomsförloppet kunde det urskiljas en krisreaktion hos de anhöriga.

Tidigare forskning har visat att arbetslösas välmående och livskvalitet påverkas negativt av arbetslöshet. Upplevd kontroll och autonomi kan medföra ökade coping-resurser för arbetslösa och ökar möjligheten till god mental hälsa och livskvalitet. Syftet med den aktuella studien var att undersöka hur graden av kontroll och autonomi hos arbetslösa påverkades beroende på faktorerna ekonomisk säkerhet, stöd av särskild person, stöd i handling, samt arbetsmarknadsåtgärd. Resultatet visade att den enskilt starkast predicerande faktorn för upplevd kontroll var ekonomisk säkerhet, medan stöd av person predicerade upplevd autonomi till störst utsträckning. Ökad ekonomisk säkerhet och stöd av särskild person hade ett positivt samband med både kontroll och autonomi.

The ISO standard ISO/IEC 17799/SS-627799-2 is a guidance for organizations to realize their information security goals. In spite of this standard, studies show flaws regarding information security in organizations. In particular flaws regarding overall view, knowledge and clear roles and responsibilities have been observed. The ISIT (Information Security Integrated Three level) model and its guidelines, developed in this thesis, help organizations to identify the required processes and procedures as well as the logical process flow. The thesis is based on theoretical studies and a case study within a multinational company.

The purpose of this study was to examine how SOS Children's Villages as an organization in Swaziland is affected by, and takes into account, the cultural, organizational and societal context in which it acts. Material was gathered through a field study during one month in one of the three SOS Children's Villages in Swaziland. The study has a qualitative approach and is based on the result from 12 semi-structured interviews with village mothers and other representatives from the organization. The other representatives were: social worker, program director, child and youth development coordinator, board member and educational manager.

Att vårda en närstående med en kronisk sjukdom känns ofta som en självklarhet, men hur detta påverkar en själv som person och det liv som är utstakat är inte lika självklart.

The world's natural resources are constantly being reduced, which increases the pressure on companies to actively engage themselves in environmental activities. Meanwhile, stakeholders focus is being broadened and it is now important not only to supply a particular product or service but also show that they are actively pursuing an environmental agenda. Companies can use various tools to aid in environmental efforts, but also to demonstrate to the world that the company is actively engaged in environmental activities. One such tool is the environmental standard ISO14001 which provides the company with guidance and support on how the business must manage its environmental efforts. To show a business' progress in environmental performance, it is advantageous to use environmental performance indicators as they enable stakeholders to easily understand how the business works with environmental issues.Authors in the field explain that the environmental management system propagation is limited in service organizations.

Ett beteende är resultat av samspelet mellan individen och omgivningen. Ett visst beteende hos en person som lider av demens kan vara symtom på själva sjukdomen men också ett sätt att uttrycka sig. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie är att undersöka om vårdpersonal med sitt förhållningssätt kan framkalla förändringar i beteende hos en person som lider av demens. Författarna gjorde en litteraturstudie utifrån tio vetenskapliga artiklar. Resultatet visar att om vårdpersonal ställer för höga krav på en person med demens, använder makt utifrån sin position och har ett bristfälligt sätt att kommunicera med patienten uppkommer störande beteende i olika form.

The aim of this study is to evaluate whether the value of occupant load is over or under estimated when the Swedish general value for department stores, 0,5 person/m2, is used for dimensioning shopping centers. The data that was analyzed derives from seven shopping centers and one department store. A conservative method was used to calculate the occupant load factor. The analysis shows that two groups can be discerned: one group that is characterized by a lower occupant load factor that does not exceed 0,3 person/m2, and one group with a higher occupant load factor. Shopping centers with a higher occupant load factor are located centrally in large urban areas.

Titel: Obegränsat skattskyldig vid utflyttning från SverigeÄmne/kurs: Beskattningsrätt, Examensarbete, HA6035, 15 HPFörfattare: Adnan ElkazHandledare: Bengt ÅkessonNyckelord: Obegränsat skattskyldig, Väsentlig anknytning, AnknytningsmomentSyftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka när en person blir obegränsat skattskyldig trots att han är utflyttad från Sverige. Uppsatsen behandlar väsentlig anknytning som är ett centralt begrepp. En person blir obegränsat skattskyldig i Sverige efter utflyttningen om han har väsentlig anknytning hit. För att ge uppsatsen en helhetsbild har jag även tagit upp de fall där personen inte får väsentlig anknytning till Sverige och därmed inte är obegränsat skattskyldig här.En person som är bosatt utomlands, men som tidigare har varit bosatt i Sverige och som fortfarande har väsentlig anknytning hit är obegränsat skattskyldig i Sverige. Då är han skattskyldig för samtliga sina inkomster, oavsett varifrån dessa kommer.
