Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva och analysera hur samarbetet mellan anhöriga och personal fungerar, för att det på bästa sätt ska komma brukaren tillgodo. Studien omfattade åtta personer, fyra anhöriga som är/var barn till brukare på demensboenden och fyra personal från två olika boenden. Metoden som användes var personliga intervjuer som berörde frågeområdena information, påverkan och deltagande. I intervjusvaren framkom att anhöriga och personal ansåg att samarbetet fungerar/fungerade tillfredsställande. Anhöriga som var framåt och aktivt försökte påverka omsorgen hade goda möjligheter till medinflytande över omsorgen om den närstående.

The democratic conditions in national states have change radically at the same time as the society has changed. Because of social and economic globalization processes, the states and government has lost power for the benefit of transnational and global institutions. That affects the democracy since the nation state earlier defined the domain of citizenship. At the same time, citizens? confidence towards political parties and politicians has gone down.

The purpose of this degree project was to build laboratory equipment for a new course in power electronics that starts this autumn 2010 at Uppsala University. The equipment is intended for student labs and it covers the most important areas of the course including rectifying, buck-/boost-converters and PWM-modulation. It is built as one sealed unit where all the electronics are built-in but visible and it has a connection board where students safely can connect the different circuits. The project has advanced from theoretical studies of circuit design, choosing of components and simulations to drawing the printed circuit board (PCB), soldering, case building, final testing and troubleshooting - basically most steps from an early idea to a final product. Measurements on the final product gave about the same results as the earlier simulations of the circuits and the result is overall satisfying..

Syftet med denna studie var att få djupare förståelse av det ömsesidiga samspelet mellan elever med synnedsättning i kombination med flera andra funktionsnedsättningar och personal på en specialskola. Genom intervjuer ville vi undersöka hur personal på en specialskola beskrev ömsesidiga möten och hur det är kopplat till lärande. Resultatet visade på några viktiga förhållanden som var kännetecknande från intervjuerna. Det vi lyfter fram är känslomässig lyhördhet mellan elev och personal, som innebär att man är inkännande och svarar på initiativ och samspel genom att bekräfta med ord och handling. Följsam turtagning, som medför att samspelet upprepas och förnyas genom en ständig förändring.

AimThe aim of the present study was to evaluate physical performance according to ?fysprofilen? in skiers of the Swedish mogul ski team and to compare their physical performance at three test occasions during one year.MethodsAll eight elite mogul skiers at the Swedish national mogul ski team during the seasons 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 participated voluntarily in this study. The test battery ?fysprofilen? was performed at three test occasions, October 2011, May 2012 and October 2012. Muscle strength was evaluated with squats, bench press and grip strength; power was evaluated with power clean, squat jump, countermovement jump with and without arm swing, Harre´s test and the 30 meters sprint.

The purpose with this essay was to examine how the European Union is working totransfer norms to states they signed an agreement with and provide support for inframe of the Barcelona process and the Tacis programme. The theory which weused was Ian Manners (PhD in Political Science) theory of "the EU as a uniquenormative power". The aim was to examine whether the EU - which Manners mean- has had a normative power to influence states to change. We used a qualitativeapproach through the use of a multiple case study and qualitative text and contentanalysis. The States which formed the basis of our study were within the BarcelonaProcess; Morocco and Tunisia as well as Azerbaijan and Armenia funded by theTacis programme.

The following essay is named The canonization of Joan of Arc, a Church political strategy or the creation of a national symbol? Joan of Arc, the French heroine of the Hundred Years War, was canonized as late as 1920, in a process that began already in 1869. In the following essay I am trying to work out if this canonization is a work of the Vatican in order to gain popularity in France after the breakup with the state in 1905. The Catholic Church had, since the French Revolution, faced difficulties withstanding its position of power in the presence of the upcoming Secularism and Liberalism and their growing public support. The Catholic Church had been fighting for its members and at the same time fighting the new ideas of Socialism, Communism and Liberalism.

Krävande beteende bland personer med demenssjukdom är en stor utmaning för personal som arbetar inom äldrevård. Syftet med studien var att beskriva hur krävande beteende hos personer med demenssjukdom påverkade bemötandet de fick av personalen och personalens arbetsklimat. Studien genomfördes med en metod för enkätstudier. Resultatet visade att arbetskamrater är viktiga och att arbetet skulle vara nästan omöjligt att genomföra utan att arbeta i team, där arbetskamraterna ger varandra trygghet och respekt. Resultat visade också att påverkan på arbetstrivsel är stor oavsett arbetsplats och utbildning.

The aim of this essay is to study how older art can be used to illustrate our contemporary society with a critical view and also to contribute to the discussion of for what reason we keep our public collections.My essay is based on a case study of the 2008 summer exhibition ?Queer: desire, power and identity? at Nationalmuseum. The exhibition used art from different eras to show how the ideals, norms of gender, and how the symbols for power have changed throughout history. It also reveals how certain art or artists have been excluded from art history due to their sexual orientation.This study is based on three questions:-          How can older art be used to illustrate a to our society contemporary theme?-          How can a public museum make an exhibition with a clear and active message?-          How can a clear and potentially sensitive message be shown without risking to be provocative towards either the visitors or the person(s) it is about.My material is based on the exhibition, the work material from the museum, protocols, photographs, exhibition texts, and interviews with the creators of the exhibition.

Psykiska besvär har de senaste åren framträtt som en av de ledande orsakerna till sjukfrånvaro för personal inom vård och omsorg, och det finns en tydlig koppling till den psykosociala arbetsmiljön. Känsla av sammanhang (KASAM) och self-efficacy har i tidigare forskning haft ett samband den psykosociala arbetsmiljön och syftet med nuvarande studie är att undersöka om sambandet återfinns även för anställda inom vård och omsorg. I undersökningen användes en enkät bestående av work related sense of coherence (WSOC), Occupational Self-Efficacy Scale (OSES) samt för psykosocial arbetsmiljö Karasek och Theorells krav, kontroll och stöd baserat på items från QPSNordic -34. Enkäten administrerades till 155 anställda inom vård och omsorg och 54 besvarades. Resultatet visade signifikanta positiva korrelationer mellan KASAM, self-efficacy och kontroll samt stöd.

According to the national curriculum guidelines for elementary school, preschool and after-school 2011, (i.e. Lgr11), the Swedish school is based on a democratic foundation. Schools should prepare students to develop an understanding and acceptance of cultural diversity not only in the society as a whole but also how this should be reflected in the morals and ethics between us. The purpose of this study was to describe how teachers in multicultural schools perceptions and experiences on teaching pupils with diverse immigrant origin, and how they apply these cultural expression in practice.In particular, I focus on four teachers in multicultural schools and how they reason about applying cultural expressions that are transmitted at these schools and by them. Explicitly, I review how from policy documents and their own personal pedagogic are reflected in the actual teaching.

My main purpose with this paper of John Steinbecks Of mice and men is to both analyze the long-lived structures and the unique individual destinies of the novel. I employ the method of the historical Annales-movement and use three divided levels in my analysis to try to capture these high structures and low moments of humanity in Structure, Konjuncture and the Individuality. The first level, Structure, is used to see how long-lived almost invisible geographic structures set the human act of condition. The second level, Konjuncture, is easier to grasp in understanding of time and embraces for example economic structures as the industrialism. The last level of Individuality is the fastest in time and easiest to understand but in the long run also the least important.

During the second part of the 20th Century celebrities became more commonly used for commercial purposes as they could enhance purchase intentions, word-of-mouth- intentions and change attitudes towards brands and products. Over the last few years blogs and bloggers have become more and more used for product placing and the bloggers? power over consumers? behaviour has grown rapidly. The aim of this study is to compare a celebrity?s and a blogger?s impact on consumer behaviour and try to understand the underlying reasons why they do have such power over their audiences.
