This study deals with one of the most discussed work environmental issues in the modern society of Sweden today - work related stress, its causes and how stress can affect people in their working situation. Our study is based on a questionnaire among aid handling officers in two municipalities of the middle of Sweden, and two interviews with their directors. We found that aid handling officers has a complex occupational role. We also found that the officers in these two municipalities experiences about the same level of stress.Further in the study, we will deal with whatever could be the cause of the stressful situation, using the demand/control model of Karasek and Theorell. The result shows that despite the similarity of the stress experience, the cause was shown to be different.

In this essay, I analyze the syllabus for Swedish with specific regard to literature teaching. I identify three different perspectives which carries seperate implications. First, a text-centered perspective, which tends to position the importance of the text as a part of a tradition. However, this seems to distance the reading from the reader, and place the importance of the reading event outside the student. The consequence might be that the student employs an instrumental reading which simply responds to a pre-set idea of meaning.

In recent decades here has been a huge development in information technology (IT), where we humans are increasingly using IT in our daily lives, ranging from social media to music streaming services; this has also been a reflection of the technologies developed to our cars. Infotainment systems have become an increasingly regular feature in modern cars where the high degree of integration such as navigation, mobile and Internet has become more common and more sought after. Despite this, relatively little research problemized User Experience of a complex infotainment system in a car. This study thus has the intention to consider the relevance of reality based tests by examining how the user experiences a complex infotainment system in a car. We asked ourselves; How do the user experience a complex infotainment system in a car? We conducted our qualitative study, an interview with researchers in the field of vehicle and road safety and designed a number of system-related activities in a test session where we observed three users.

Several factors can affect the childbirth experience among parents. Previous research showed that parental education was insufficient. Parents who participated in both regular parental classes and psychoprophylaxis education were more satisfied with the psychoprophylaxis education compared to those who participated in only traditional parental classes. Psychoprophylaxis should be more considered as it could help the woman to handle her pain and contribute to increased self-esteem. The aim was to describe and illustrate the parents' childbirth experiences when psychoprophylaxis was used as childbirth preparation.

The purpose of this study was to examine the experience of organizational culture among salespeople at a specific workplace. The purpose was also to investigate what motivates these salespeople in their work and the impact culture has on their motivation. We have used a qualitative research method to collect the empirical material. With the help of seven interviews, including six salespeople from one of Sweden?s biggest electronic retailer and also one information interview with a sales consultant, we attempted to find the answer to how they perceive the organizational culture and how it affects their work motivation. The following questions are used to fulfill this purpose: ? How do the salespeople experience the organizational culture? ? What motivates the salespeople in their daily work? ? What effects does the organizational culture have on the salespersons motivation? As analytical tools we have used are the concept of organizational culture, Schein's description of the three components of culture and Herzberg Motivation-Hygiene theory. The results of the study indicate that the salespeople experience a positive organizational culture and that this culture promotes fellowship and unity between colleagues, which in turn contributes to an enhanced motivation.

Syftet med denna undersökning har varit att ge kunskap om hur personal och intagna förhåller sig till, och ser på varandra, på en svensk anstalt med omfattande säkerhets- och kontrollarbete. Distansen mellan personalgruppen och gruppen av intagna har varit en mycket viktig faktor, och de problem som kan uppstå med olika grad av distanstagande har undersökts och analyserats. Undersökningen är av kvalitativ karaktär och deltagande observationer har tillämpats som främsta metod. Två intervjuer med personal i arbetsledande funktion har genomförts för att öka generaliserbarheten samt förståelsen för observerade fenomen. Kommunikationen mellan personal och intagna har utgjort en annan mycket viktig del i studien.

This is an investigation into the ways in which a group of librarians experience and make use of the intranet in their vocational role. The theoretical frame of reference consists of a model of how professionals seek information, which is based on a role-theory. As a method, I have applied a qualitative case-study. Using semi-structured qualitative interviews I have interviewed five librarians and the webmaster responsible for the intranet in their library. I have investigated how elements such as the age and vocational role of the librarians affect their use of the intranet.

Studien är kvalitativ med en hermeneutisk utgångspunkt och insamlingsmetoden är semistrukturerade intervjuer. Studiens syfte var att belysa hur personal inom barn- och ungdomspsykiatrin uppfattar självskadebeteende och insatser hos barn och ungdomar samt vilka överväganden de gör vid val av insatser. Frågeställningarna var: hur uppfattar personal inom barn- och ungdomspsykiatrin självskadebeteende, hur uppfattar personalen de insatser som barn- och ungdomspsykiatrin erbjuder barn och ungdomar med självskadebeteende och vilka överväganden gör personal inom barn- och ungdomspsykiatrin i val av insatser till barn och ungdomar med självskadebeteende? Resultatet tolkades med hjälp av Moira von Wrights punktuella och relationella perspektiv. Resultatet visade att självskadebeteende är ett beteende med flera orsaker där ångest och relationsproblem är mest framträdande.

The results are also analyzed based on previous research and the concepts underlying the paper; irregular immigrants, discrimination, power and identity.In summary, the respondents have a clear picture of how they live and experience their relationship to others and themselves and how this affects their lives and identity.Their experiences affect their lives and influence their behaviour and identity when they interact with others.

I princip samtliga företag runt om i världen har ledare, vars största uppgift är att skapa förutsättningar för deras personalstyrkor att uppnå företagens mål och visioner. Tidigare forskning har visat att den transformativa ledaren är den mest effektiva ledarstilen sett till resultat, effektivitet och tillfredställelse. Den transformativa ledaren arbetar med sin personal genom att influera, inspirera, stimulera och ta individuella hänsyn. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka hur ledare vid Luleå kommun arbetar med sitt ledarskap, hur de försöker motivera personalen samt vilka effekter de kan se till följd av sitt ledarskap. För att uppnå syftet har tio kvalitativa intervjuer genomförts med ledare anställda av Luleå kommun.

Syftet med denna studie var att studera hur personal på gruppbostad upplever brukarnas sexuella behov och relationer. För att belysa syftet tog vi hjälp av frågeställningar som hur diskuterar/informerar personal om sexualitet med brukarna? Och hur ser personalgruppernas syn ut gällande brukarnas sexuella behov och relationer? Under vår studie har vi undersökt hur personalen har bemött och besvarat brukarnas behov och frågor om deras sexuella behov och relationer. Ämnet människor med utvecklingsstörning och deras sexualitet är ett tabubelagt område som behöver lyftas fram och se sexualiteten som en del av människans liv oavsett handikapp eller inte. Personalgruppen har en betydelsefull roll för brukarna i deras vardag och därför bör de ha brukarnas intresse i fokus för att undvika passivisering.
