This essay is about two Swedish folk musicians, Anders Rosén and Leif Stinnerbom, who have been playing two important rolls in the developing process of Swedish folk music, on their separate ways. The main part of this work is focused on the era called ?The Folk Music Vogue?, which was the era when my informants were in the limelight on the Swedish fiddler scene of the 70s.Our music culture is constantly lying under the change of progress and I find it interesting to reflect how these kinds of changes are affecting the role of the musician.In this essay I am reflecting on the different perspectives of the musicianship according to my informants and how they both are referring to their role as musicians. The purpose is further on to see how they have been relating to the change of progress on the field of the Swedish folk music during the 70s and up to this date. Throughout interviews with the informants I am analyzing their personal relationship to their life as folk musicians.

Följande examensarbete är en litteraturöversikt med syfte att beskriva potentiella strålrisker och metoder för stråldosreducering för patienter och personal i samband med koronarangiografi. I takt med pågående forskning sker en utveckling mot allt mer avancerade undersökningar och behandlingsformer vars utförande i flera fall inkluderar röntgengenomlysning. Exempelvis frambringar koronarangiografi (kranskärlsröntgen) möjligheten att kartlägga förträngningar inuti patientens blodkärl och fortsatt behandling med ballongvidgning, PCI (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention), kan förhindra en potentiell hjärtinfarkt. Tidsmässigt långa procedurer med begränsad användning av adekvat strålskydd kan dock medföra risker såsom hudskador och linsgrumling (katarakt) samt sena effekter avseende genetiska skador och cancer. Kunskap och medvetenhet utgör därmed nödvändiga faktorer för tillämpning av förebyggande åtgärder.

Förskolans läroplan reviderades år 2011. Ambitionen var att höja kvaliteten och tydliggöra yrkesrollerna i förskolan. I dagens förskola arbetar två yrkesgrupper, förskollärare och barnskötare. Yrkesgrupperna har organiserat sig i olika fackförbund; förskollärare i Lärarförbundet och barnskötare i Kommunal. För att förstå bakgrunden till revideringen har studiens syfte varit att nå kunskap om fackförbundens synsätt på förskolans verksamhet och dess personal.

Den utveckling som skett under 1990-talet är att gå från att ha sett människan som ett utbytbart kugghjul till att nu använda människan som sitt främsta konkurrensmedel. Personalutveckling är idag ett väldebatterat begrepp i media, och det tillämpas inom de flesta företagen. Personalutveckling kan ske på många olika sätt, t.ex. genom utbildning, teambildning, information, kommunikation och feedback. Men kan organisationsuppbyggnaden ha någon inverkan på personalutvecklingen? Tre fastighetsföretag, med olika ägandeformer och fastighetsbestånd, har intervjuats för denna uppsats; HSB, MKB och Fastighets AB Briggen.

Syftet med vår studie var att undersöka i vilken utsträckning förskolepersonalen anser att de ger barn möjlighet till inflytande över sin vardag i förskolan. Arbetet syftade vidare till att synliggöra hur personalen arbetar för att barn ska bli delaktiga i verksamheten. Vi har genomfört en enkätundersökning med både öppna och slutna frågor. Enkäterna delades ut till fyra kommunala förskolor där all personal som arbetar i barngruppen fick möjlighet att besvara enkäterna. Resultatet visar att förskolepersonalen anser att de arbetar medvetet med att få barnen delaktiga samt med att ge dem inflytande.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine a new music downloading service called Musikwebben, which is now available in many Swedish libraries. It focuses on the differences and similarities between this service and illegal music sharing services.

To answer this question, a qualitative content analysis is used, to explore various views on what legal downloading services have to offer and how these differ to illegal alternatives.
