The study was conducted with an landscape approach with an subject related approach in the field of environmental psychology to investigate how road design affects drivers' choice of speed. The purpose was to portray road environments on thoroughfares in urban areas to motivate motorists to keep the speed limit and thus increase road safety for vulnerable road users. The task question was formulated, how can thoroughfares in suburban settings be portrayed to motivate motorists to reduce speed? The study was conducted throughout a literature review of motivational speed measures along with interviews with road design experts at the Swedish Transport Administration. Case studies were conducted on three thoroughfares in the Stockholm suburbs Vallentuna, Upplands Väsby and Danderyd.

Bakgrund: Hörselskador är ofta förkommande hos personer med utvecklingsstörning, autism och inom autismliknande tillstånd, både medfödda och åldersrelaterade hörselskador. Ofta förblir de oupptäckta då dessa personer kan ha flera funktionsnedsättningar eller svårigheter att uttrycka sig. Dessa personer kan bo på en bostad med särskild service, och personal på dessa boenden behöver ha kunskap i hörselrelaterade ämnen för att de boendes behov ska tillgodoses. Syfte: Att belysa praktisk och teoretisk kunskap i ämnen som hörsel, hörselnedsättning, vissa hörhjälpmedel och kommunikation hos personal som arbetar på bostad med särskild service.Metod: För att belysa kunskapen hos personal i Karlskoga och Lindesbergs kommun användes en postenkät som mätinstrument i denna kvantitativa undersökning.Resultat: Personalen hade störst kunskap inom området kommunikation och vilken påverkan hörselnedsättningar kan ge. Sämre kunskap fanns att se inom området hörseltekniska hjälpmedel och hörapparater och om hur vanligt förekommande hörselnedsättningar är.Slutsats: Resultatet tyder på att det finns vissa brister i personalens kunskap, främst inom de områden som handlar om hörsel, hörselnedsättning och vissa hörhjälpmedel.

AbstractInom forskningen kring personliga hemsidor på Internet har fokus främst riktats mot identitetskonstruktion, hur jaget presenteras och de psykologiska och sociologiska orsakerna som ligger bakom. Min studie tar ett steg ifrån detta och integrerar studiet av den personliga hemsidan med studiet av den politiska hemsidan. Jag undersöker relationen mellan det personliga och det politiska på svenska privata feministiska hemsidor. Jag har intervjuat fyra skapare och analyserat sju hemsidor. Sammantaget utgör min studie en empirisk neddykning i de svenska privata feministiska hemsidor som finns tillgängliga på Internet anno höst 2003 och vår 2004.

Elevhälsovård ska erbjuda multidisciplinärt stöd till alla elever i grundskola och gymnasieskola, för att främja lärande, god allmän utveckling och en god hälsa hos varje elev. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva barns och ungdomars erfarenheter av elevhälsovård inom grund- och gymnasieskolan. Att undersöka elevers erfarenheter har inte varit vanligt inom skolhälsovården i Sverige. De flesta omvårdnadsvetenskapliga undersökningar har hittills grundat sig på skolsköterskors uppfattningar om skolhälsovårdens betydelse. Sjutton artiklar som motsvarade syftet analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys.

The aim of this study is to understand and describe school staff´s view on the legal obligation to report child maltreatment. With this approach I will get a better understanding how child maltreatment can be caught up in the Swedish community.

Previous research indicates that cooperation between school and social services reduces the time of the investigations, and gives a better understanding of what is to be reported. The result shows that a functional cooperation between school staff´s as well as between school and social services is important for children to be caught up in the community.

Recently, retailers within the Swedish grocery retail sector have launched lines of products under its own brand, quite often produced by manufactures within the same category of products. The common term of this phenomenon is called private labels. Therefore, private labels could be seen as competitors against branded goods, despite the fact that it is, in several cases, the same manufacturer who produces each of the products.The main purpose of this study is to provide understanding of how the manufacturers choose to position themselves, formulate their strategies and compete on the market among private labels, also to examine the motive behind the manufacturer's choice to produce private labels. The study intends to provide a broader view of how the interaction between manufacturers, retailers, private labels and branded goods appears on the Swedish market. We decided to use a qualitative research method and personal interviews to approach the study.
