Bakgrund: Anorexia nervosa innebär att under en tid avsiktligen undvika intag av kaloririk föda. Ofta går även kroppsaktiviteten till överdrift. Statistik visar på att en procent av Sveriges befolkning i åldrarna 13-30 har diagnosen. Då sjukdomen inte är ovanlig är det av stor vikt att sjuksköterskan har kunskap om sjukdomen och personernas upplevelse. Syfte: Personers upplevelse av att leva med anorexia nervosa.

The purpose of this Master?s thesis is to study howuniversity librarians in a South African context relate to theconcept of information literacy. We investigated differencesand similarities in approaches to user education andinformation literacy. We have based our study on thefollowing research questions: What are the prerequisites foruser education at the University of the Western Cape? Howdo these prerequisites influence librarians' approaches toinformation literacy and user education at the University ofthe Western Cape? We have used a sociocultural theoreticalperspective and Hofstede's cultural dimensions in orderto pay particular attention to the cultural and social contextof user education.

At the Division of Electricity at UppsalaUniversitythere are ongoing researches, including a research concerning turbo generators.Turbo generators produce a large share of electricity in the world; however they are costly mainly due to the fact that the cooling and ventilation that are needed to eliminate the excess heat from the generators are expensive. Turbo generators work with high efficiency and in this project, the main task is to simulate a generator while taking into account that the generator must be designed against self-oscillation, centrifugal force, exhaustion and heat. The turbo generator must be simulated without being too expensive and complicated.In this project, the dimensions of the turbo generator depend on the efficiency of it, and where the losses are in the generator. Furthermore, the optimum values need to be chosen with the help of the ACE simulation program. The report begins with an introduction describing the project followed by a task description that is dealing with the project.

This paper describes Tempus Custode, a smartphone application with which the user may register working hours and travel time during the work day. The application communicates with a database via a server. The data stored in the database may be manipulated using an administrator tool, mainly for the composition of time reports. In this way, the user?s task of time reporting his day is greatly simplified.The application is able to automatically discriminate between work time and travel time, as it continuously fetches positioning data from the smartphone GPS receiver.

The purpose with this essay is to look at how categories of "us" and "them" are created, reproduced and categorised. The areas of politics and media are in focus, though they are powerful and influential actors in generating discourses.The method is qualitative analyses of current research and analyses of discourses, contexts and resources from an intersectional perspective. Intersectionality presents a theoretical tool for complex understandings of power as it takes its point of departure in an understanding of power as multidimensional and one where gender, ethnicity and class are constitutive and bearing principals. Intersectional analyses aim to understand how these dimensions are created and changed in relation to each other and how they interact with specific gender orders in specific contexts.The analyse shows that "immigrants" are in a subordinate position compared to "Swedish" when it comes to resources, contexts and discourses. The analyse indicates the relation of power between "us" and "them", where "us" have the power and with that preferential right of interpretation in discourses, contexts and resources.

Detta är ett uppsats på D-nivå. I en tidigare kurs, inom vårat program Data- och Systemvetenskap, kom vi på en idé om hur man kan förbättra/komplettera utbildningen av nyanställda som befinner sig i en stressig arbetsplats på företag där det är ett ständigt behov av återanställning av personal. Vi utvecklade detta koncept och kom med idén till en simulator som kan utbilda personal samt minska stress hos nyanställda. Idén mognade till en Serious Game simulator baserad på en Wii-kontrollerad PC-baserad simulator med Bluetooth-stöd.Syftet med denna uppsats är att skapa en guide om grunderna i en simulator som utnyttjar Wii-kontroller som externa inmatningsenheter. I denna guide kommer vi att täcka hur Nintendos Wii-kontroll fungerar, hur man kan skapa enkla 3D-modeller i Blender och även hur detta kan implementeras i Microsoft XNA.

SammanfattningDenna studie syftar till att undersöka hur personalomsättningen av socialsekreterare ser utinom socialtjänsten i Västerbottens inland. Studien är en fallstudie av ett socialkontor i englesbygdskommun i Västerbotten. Studiens resultat visar att personalomsättningen avsocialsekreterare inom socialtjänsten i den glesbygdskommun i Västerbotten som vi undersöktär hög. Universitetsorter utbildar många socionomer och konkurrensen om jobb är stor i dessastäder. Nyutexaminerade söker till glesbygden där konkurrensen inte är lika stor.

The aim of this study is to enlighten how todays working environment affects young individuals descriptions of how to reach success in work life, now often titled as ?career?. Our purpose has been to analyse how the term career is constituted discursively among young people in jobs characterized by flexibility. The study is based on six qualitative interviews with young adults in the media industry, all between 20-30 years old. By utilising a Foucaultdian discourse analysis we want to expose how the competing and dominating discourses, that our interviewees? statements are based on, can be associated with a wider social context.  The study reveals that our interviewees describe career in two separate ways, both positively and negatively.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att beskriva och analysera hur kunskapsintensiva tjänsteföretag inom banksektorn kan attrahera nya medarbetare och behålla befintlig personal med hjälp av Employer Branding.Studien baseras på kvalitativ metodik, bestående av djupgående intervjuer med tre svenska storbanker; Handelsbanken, Swedbank och Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken (SEB). För att få en mer specialiserad kunskap om fenomenet Employer Branding har även Academic Communication intervjuats, som är ett marknadsföringsföretag inriktad på denna form av marknadsföring.Ett gediget informationsunderlag gällande den externa och interna målgruppens uppfattning av företagens Employer Brand är centralt för att utarbeta adekvata Employer Branding-strategier. Under arbetets gång är det betydelsefullt att kontinuerligt undersöka om associationerna som företagen vill sammankoppla till dess varumärke som arbetsgivare, förmedlas, och att anpassa strategierna utefter det. Employer Branding genomförs externt främst genom deltagande på mässor och arbetsmarknadsdagar på högskolor och universitet. Det personliga mötet är centralt vilket fordrar att de operationellt ansvariga har kunskap om budskapet som ska kommuniceras. Att prioritera vilka aktiviteter som bedrivs skapar ett tydligare Employer Brand.

The world becomes more globalized for each year that passes by due to economical, political and technological processes. The globalization process leads to increased contacts with people from different cultures and therefore intercultural communication occurs.Intercultural and strategic communication is significant to accomplish successful establishments and effective communication for companies. The export from Sweden abroad increases every single year and today there are about 1500 Swedish companies around the world and 350 established in Russia. The purpose of this study has therefore been to analyze the factors that affect the establishments of Swedish companies in Russia.Material to our study has been collected through qualitative interviews and a seminar focusing on these questions. Our interviewees all have experiences on working with Russia, as most of the interviewees work for Swedish companies in Russia or are consults that help companies to succeed with their establishment.The material has been evaluated and analyzed in relation to our main theories in intercultural- and strategic communication using theorists and theories such as Hofstede and his five cultural dimensions, Goffman?s staging and Habermas communicative action theory.Our theories have been put in relation to our collected information and complemented by earlier research and the result indicates that you need intercultural competence to manage an establishment of a Swedish company and the strategic communication in Russia because of the intercultural differences that the respondents experience..

In this thesis a concept for floor hatches for foam pits has been developed. Since there is an existing solution that is powered by hydraulics and is expensive, the goal was to develop a cheaper solution, as simple as possible.A number of different concepts were developed and evaluated. A concept with five sections that are pulled to the side and stacked on each other was chosen as it was thought to have the lowest risk of crush injuries and to be easiest to manage and control. In the opening behind the foam mattress a lifting table is placed to regulate the height of the stacked sections.To be allowed to be installed in the floor of sports halls the sections must be dimensioned according to the construction standards for these types of buildings. Different dimensions of beams in steel and wood materials were evaluated and of those, who lived up to the requirements of the standard, a concept was chosen.

This thesis studies private equity firms' implementation of management control systems in their portfolio companies and whether the systems are affected by cross-national differences. A comparative case study examines five different private equity firms to derive if there are any differences between the private equity firms' management control systems in the United States, Europe and China. The empirical observations are categorized according to the framework developed by Merchant (1985) and further developed by Merchant and Van der Stede (2003). Theory on the effect of multinationality on management control systems, also developed by Merchant and Van der Stede (2003), are used to explain possible findings. The applied theory includes the cultural dimensions developed by Hofstede (1984) and Hofstede and Bond (1988).

Den fysiska miljön har en stor betydelse för barns utveckling och lärande. Att förskolans lärmiljöer utformas efter barns behov och intressen spelar en stor roll i att skapa bra förutsättningar för barns lek och lärande. Syftet med detta utvecklingsarbete var att skapa ett rum som skulle inspirera barn till lek och lärande. Utvecklingsarbetet genomfördes på en förskola på en avdelning med barn i åldern 1-3 år. Metoder som användes var: Observationer, dokumentation med digitalkamera, gruppdiskussion, vilket filmades och genom frågeformulär till personal, (som har ett vattenrum och till personal som önskar ett vattenrum).

Sveriges befolkning blir allt äldre och med hög ålder ökar risken för att drabbas av olika demenssjukdomar, framförallt Alzheimers sjukdom. Den som drabbas av demenssjukdom behöver ibland någon form av särskilt boende. Den boendeform som bäst passar för personer med Alzheimers sjukdom är ett gruppboende för 6-10 personer. Det som i litteraturen framhölls som viktigt för gruppboendeformens funktion var bland annat rätt planlösning och boendemiljö, selektion av de boende men också problematiken kring kvarboendeprincipen. Handplockad personal, individualiserad och meningsfull aktivering för de boende, ansågs också som viktigt för gruppboendeformen samt att verksamheten utvärderades och kvalitetssäkrades.
