The purpose with this qualitative interview-study was to try, from the carer´s point of view, to describe the meaning and the essence of the good meeting. The participants were selectively chosen and were all women of varying life- and professional experience. They were interviewed with four interrogative forms that dealt with the experiences of the meaning and the essence of the good meeting. The analysis of the contents of the four interviews produced five themes: the meaning and the essence of aware presence in the good meeting, the meaning and the essence of the personal alliance, the carer's need of being seen and getting appreciation, the courage to bring up insulting behaviors while still preserving the relationship, personal qualities of the care. Aware presence was to be a main theme through out the meeting.

The aim of this study was to describe how body language of humans affects the domestic dog (Canis familiaris) and how it can be implanted in the stressed situation that occur at an animal hospital. The subject is brought to notice because the author has experienced that dogs can get more stressed when a stressed and nervous owner is attending. Humans affect each other through posture, facial expression, voice and movement, and are often driven by their emotions, which can differentiate the verbal communication from the non-verbal communication. This occurs both consciously and unconsciously. Every human uses body language but not everyone knows how it is used or how to understand it.

När vi tog kontakt med AB Halmstads Gummifabrik uttryckte de ett behov kring att kunna stärka tillhörigheten och minska den organisatoriska tvetydigheten hos den inhyrda personalen. De individer som hyrs in via bemanningsföretag har idag till skillnad från tidigare blivit en accepterad del av arbetskraften. Studien syfte har varit att empiriskt undersöka vad som är centralt, för så väl företaget som för inhyrd, vid kundföretagets introduktion av inhyrd personal. Vidare har vi även utifrån resultatet och tidigare forskning analyserat hur arbetsgivaren vid introduktionen kan arbeta för att motverka eventuell organisatorisk tvetydighet för den inhyrda personalen.Studiens empiriska material har samlats in genom sex stycken kvalitativa intervjuer med arbetsledning, inhyrd personal, tillsvidareanställd personal och fackliga representanter. Under studiens gång har vi även genomfört en observation på arbetsplatsen. Resultatet visar att introduktionsutbildningens utformning är av stor vikt då den i slutändan påverkar organisationsidentiteten.

Sharia or western equality?womenin Egyptian legislationThe Islamic law (Sharia) in most of the countries in Middle East and North Africa has been the basis for modern laws which regulate issues such as marriage, divorce and inheritance.

Världshälsoorganisationens (WHO) checklista för säker kirurgi utvecklades för att minska risken för kirurgiska komplikationer och dödsfall i samband med kirurgi. Kommunikationen i operationssalen behöver förbättras mellan alla personalkategorier så att säkerhetsåtgärder blir konsekventa och rätt utförda. Målet med sjukvården är att främja en hög patientsäkerhet för att minimera andelen vårdrelaterade skador. Trots att WHO´s checklista visat positiva resultat finns indikationer på att följsamheten minskar samt att den möts av motstånd från personalen. Syftet med studien var att belysa operationssjuksköterskans upplevelse vid användningen av WHO´s checklista.

Since January 2005 new rules have been introduced from the International Financial Reporting Standards for accounting of Business Combinations. Goodwill, which is the difference between the purchase price and the value of the net assets in an acquired firm, should no longer be amortized but should instead be treated as an object for yearly impairment tests. Nevertheless, there are many companies making the tests but not impairing goodwill. The theoretical frame of reference looks at goodwill from its two parts; true goodwill and false goodwill. False goodwill is defined as a measurement bias and constitutes a certain percentage of the operating net assets.
