In today?s technological society, there are increasingly less physical demands on the locomotor system. However, despite that notion strength and function in the hand?s complex biomechanical system are in fact both needed to cope with daily life. The grip function is a main function in the hand and is used in many examples of scientific research, for instance when assessing physical health and predicting the probabilities of premature mortality.

Background: In Sweden the healthcare has moved from the homes to the hospitals, as the system has developed. Parents were not allowed to visit their children when they were hospitalised in the past. It was noticed in the beginning of the 20th century that it might be harmful for the children to be left without parents at the hospital. Today it is considered a fact that the parents should stay with their hospitalised children and the healthcare is based on a family-centered care. Aim: The aim of this literature study was to elucidate parents experience when having hospitalised children.

Sverige går idag mot en mer patientfokuserad vård. Personal Health Records (PHR) är en tjänst som möjliggör för patienten att samla och distribuera sin egen medicinska journal. Trots de patientfokuserade egenskaperna som PHR besitter är vetskapen om PHR liten i Sverige.Med syfte att undersöka PHR har vi utfört en studie som visar om PHR har en potential i Sverige. Nitton intervjuer utfördes varav sjutton stycken med diabetespatienter, en intervju med en representant för läkemedelsindustrin samt en intervju med en representant för sjukvården. Dessutom utfördes en patientenkät med diabetiker.Studien visade att PHR har en potential i Sverige, framförallt bland den viktigaste intressentgruppen patienterna fanns ett visst behov och upplevdes nyttan som stor.

Aim: The aims of this essay were first to see if there were any factors that could have an inpact on participating in supportive care groups and activities after a prostatic cancer diagnosis. The second aim was to examine what kind of support the patients would chose. Methods: Data was collected with a survey handed out to the prostate cancer patients visiting the urologist reception at the hospital in Uppsala, during two weeks in the fall of 2011. Main Results: Men show very little interest in participating in supportive care groups and activities. When asked to chose which kind of support they could consider, individual sessions and group sessions were the most common choice. Conclusion: Men diagnosed with prostate cancer chose not to participate in supportive care. Further studies are required to determine what may be the reason to that..

Bakgrund: Utvecklingen av informationssamhället har inneburit att de anställda är en av företagets strategiska resurser. Utifrån dagens situation med hård konkurrens om kompetent personal inom vissa branscher framstår förlusten av värdefulla medarbetare som någonting negativt som företag bör försöka förhindra. Forskning har försökt svara på varför anställda lämnar ett företag men forskning och teorier om vad som håller personal kvar på ett företag är idag bristfälliga. Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att analysera huruvida teorier kring personalomsättning kan tillämpas på personalbehållning samt att urskilja en incitamentsstruktur vilken företag kan använda sig av för att behålla personal. Genomförande: Totalt intervjuades 14 anställda med IT-kompetens, främst civilingenjörer och systemvetare.

The role distribution between designers and product coordinators and the system support between these roles are adapted according to the method of working that product models primarily are created for production and after sales market. At the same time models are also created to support a cross-functional way of working. This means that product structures exists on paper and as CAD-models before they are created in Scanias PDM-system environment which leads to unnecessary work and to information not being shared as early as it should be possible.A theoretical study has been performed with the purpose of understanding the problems and to create a foundation for improvement suggestions. Representatives from both roles have been interviewed together with other individuals with insight in the collaboration. A minor study concerning the roles of interests? collaboration at Volvo CC was also performed to be able to relate the study to another company.

The aim of this study is to examine the word acquisition, focusing on the nouns and word exercises, in two Swedish textbooks for German in the upper secondary school. The chosen method for investigating the nouns was corpus analysis. The noun frequency and distribution in the textbooks were analysed and discussed in relation to research in second language acquisition. The Involvement Load Hypothesis by Batia Laufer and Jan Hulstijn was used to examine the exercises in the textbooks. The study showed that most nouns only occurred once in the textbooks, but the most frequent nouns were well spread in the textbooks.

Middle managers in social care find themselves in a middle position. The middle management position involves demands from several interested parties. The demands affect and generate feelings both within themselves and within others and the middle managers have to deal with them all.The aim of this study was to investigate the social care middle manager?s personal experiences of emotions in work.We have completed interviews with four middle managers who are assigned to carry out social care. When doing the interviews we used an interview guide divided into different interview areas.

This degree projekt deals with Skanska´s safety at the construction site with focus on personal safety equipment. The purpose of this dissertation is to examine how the rules of personal safety equipment are applied and experienced at Skanska´s construction sites.In October 2004 Skanska started a projekt to make the construction sites more safe. With use of a questionnaire we have made a survey at different construction sites. 80 questionaires have been handed out to Skanska´s employees in the southeast region. While they were handed out we conrolled if the employees at Skanska´s construction sites used head protection, easy visible clothing, safety shoes and identification cards.The result of the survey shows how the rules are applied.

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur personal i förskolan upplever och hanterar situationer då de misstänker att ett barn far illa. Därtill vill vi utreda hur väl förankrad anmälningsplikten är hos personal i förskolan, och vilken förståelse de har för de riktlinjer de har att följa. Orsaken till att vi valde detta ämne var för att vi själva ville få större kunskap kring hur dessa situationer bör hanteras.Uppsatsen grundades på en kvalitativ metod. Insamling av data gjordes genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med personal i tre förskolor där en rektor, en förskollärare samt en barnskötare deltog.Resultatet av vår studie visade att kännedomen om de riktlinjer som påverkar personalens handlande i förskolan är relativt dåligt förankrade i verksamheten. Vi fann inga aktuella handlingsplaner i förskolorna.

The aim of this qualitative study was to explore which inner conceptions about the abused older women the professional social workers had and how they experienced the enconter of an abused old woman in an intimate partner relation. The theoretical background is social construction by Berger and Luckmann. This theory was uset to analyze the transcribed interviews. This study is based on nine interviews with five professionals in social services, three volunteers from the voluntary sector and one social worker who worked in a community based support group for abused older women. The result of this study shows that older women were often abused, by a relative they were dependent on, in their home.

Sammanfattning ? "Arbetsmotivation: En jämförande studie av arbetsmotivationsfaktorer och preferenser för motivationsstrategier mellan inhyrd och tillsvidareanställd personal"Datum: 2014-06-11Nivå: Kandidatuppsats i företagsekonomi, 15 ECTS,Institution: Akademin för Ekonomi, Samhälle och Teknik EST, Mälardalens HögskolaFörfattare: Gabriel Cakisi Abizer Kapasi Erik Wallén 880804 891201 870615Titel: Arbetsmotivation: En jämförande studie av arbetsmotivationsfaktorer och preferenser för motivationsstrategier mellan inhyrd personal och tillsvidareanställda.Handledare: Kerstin NilssonNyckelord: Arbetsmotivation, tillfälligt anställda, inhyrd personal, motivationsstrategierForskningsfrågor: 1: Finns det skillnader mellan inhyrd personal och tillsvidareanställda i deras värdering av arbetsmotivationsfaktorer och företagets arbetsmotivationsstrategier? Om ja, hur skiljer de sig åt?2: Hur skulle företagets arbetsmotivationsstrategier kunna anpassas efter eventuella likheter eller skillnader?Syfte: Syftet med studien var att jämföra och identifiera skillnader i vad inhyrd och tillsvidareanställd personal upplever som arbetsmotivation inom tre kontors- & administrationsavdelningar samt en IT-avdelning på ett stort svenskt teknikföretag, samt att undersöka företagets motivationsstrategier och hur strategierna skulle kunna anpassas efter eventuella skillnader.Metod: Studien använde sig av en kvantitativ enkät och en kvalitativ intervju. Enkätden delades in i två delar där del A undersökte motivationsfaktorer och del B undersökte motivationsstrategier. Den kvalitativa intervjun var semistrukturerad och undersökte vilka motivationsstrategier företaget använde som sedan låg till grund för enkätdel B.Slutsats: Resultatet visade på att inhyrd och tillsvidareanställd personal skiljer sig i sin värdering av motivationsstrategier och motivationsfaktorer. För arbetsmotivationsfaktorer så var skillnaderna: 1) tillsvidareanställda värderar personlig utveckling högre, 2) inhyrda värderar att arbetsinsatsen leder till goda resultat högre, och 3) tillsvidareanställda värderar en trygg anställning högre.
