Bakgrund Hj?rtsvikt ?r en kronisk och global sjukdom som p?verkar individens fysiska och psykiska v?lbefinnande samt det dagliga livet. Egenv?rd ?r en central del av behandlingen och innefattar att f?lja vissa rader s?som ?vervaka symtom, anpassa kost och v?tskeintag, uppr?tth?lla fysisk aktivitet samt f?lja medicinska ordinationer. Patienters upplevelser av egenv?rd varierar beroende p? resurser, kunskap och stod.

Problembakgrund: Porter (1996) skriver att ett företags strategi handlar om att vÀlja en unik position pÄ sin marknad. Ekonomistyrning Àr sedan processen som tillÀmpas för att uppnÄ organisationens mÄl och vald strategi (Anthony, 1965). Simons (2000) delar upp ekonomistyrningen i fyra delar dÀr det system som anvÀnds för strategiimplementering benÀmns diagnostiska kontrollsystem. Med grund i detta fann författarna det intressant att genomföra en fallstudie av ett företag pÄ den svenska klÀdhandelsmarknaden, dÀr hÄrd konkurrens och lÄg tillvÀxt rÄder (Sandow), för att se hur denna aktör löpande implementerar sin strategi via sina diagnostiska kontrollsystem.Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats var att genom en fallstudie pÄ företag X undersöka vilken strategisk positionering de har pÄ den svenska klÀdhandelsmarknaden samt hur de arbetar med sitt diagnostiska kontrollsystem för att dess valda strategiska positionering implementeras och följs upp.Metod: En kvalitativ forskningsansats anvÀndes för att uppnÄ uppsatsens syfte dÀr en fallstudie pÄ företag X med en abduktiv ansats genomfördes för att genom frÀmst intervjuer tillgodogöra sig kvalitativ information om företagets strategiska position och tillÀmpad diagnostisk styrning. Dessförinnan gjordes en litteraturstudie för att bygga upp en lÀmplig teoretisk referensram som anvÀndes för att analysera resultatet frÄn den empiriska studien.Reslutat och slutsatser: Genomförd studie visar att en position dÀr en kÀnslig kombination av vissa motsÀttande strategiska variabler som i litteraturen framstÀlls som varken en passande eller opassande kombination gÄr att förena.

In claims for unfair dismissal due to alleged redundancy, the burden of proof should be shared to enable an employee to have the cause of redundancy tried. In such a case, the employee should present evidence of an invalid cause ? such as personal reasons ? and the employer should account for the redundancy. With reference to their conflicting interests, the law favours the employer if the redundancy can be accounted for even if the employee maintains his or her position. This would have been reasonable practice if the employer?s evidence was subject to the same scrutiny as that of the employee but, as long as redundancy is considered a valid cause in itself, this is not the case.Redundancy does not come from nowhere, but it occurs when employers carry out their management decisions.

In this master thesis, control algoritms using arm side sensors are investigated for an industrial robot. The sensors can be position encoders placed after the gearbox and accelerometers on the robot arms. Control strategies are discussed and evaluated for different models of the robot, after which chosen strategies are applied to a realistic model. Control algoritms using arm side sensors (LQ, dual-loop and PD-PID) are compared to a PID-controller that only uses measurements of motor position for feedback control. The comparison are done with respect to disturbance rejection, oscillation damping, robustness and tracking performance of a reference trajectory.

The aim of this essay is to do a queer reading of the early Swedish pentecostal movement, with a special focus on the women within the movement. The main empirical material is Gustaf Emil Söderholms Den svenska pingstvÀckelsens historia part I and II, published 1927 and 1928, in addition to this a selection of articles from the Swedish pentecostal magazine Evangelii HÀrold has been used. The theoretical framework consists of Judith Butler's concepts of heterosexual matrix and performativity, as well as interpellation, and of Adrienne Rich's concept of a lesbian continuum. The analysis shows that the evangelist role, as well as the charismatic practices of the movement, made it possible for women to take the position as leader and teacher of congregations, and thereby take up a male subject position. The role as evangelist also made possible a life outside of the heterosexual norm, within the lesbian continuum..

In this essay I try to find out how the local political climate in the Swedish Municipal Örebro looks like through the eyes of Michel Foucault. I?ve been focusing on the concept power, knowledge and politic. I?ve been applying the discourse theory on the study and the founder of that theory is Chantal Mouffe and Ernesto Laclau, the discoursetheory is a refinement of Foucaults thoughts about discourse.

My purpose is to describe and analyse how care managers experience their position as middle managers in the public sector. I have used a qualitative interview method to answer this question and also to capture my six interview persons opinion and understanding of their own position as middle managers. From my six interviews I noticed some difference in their opinions about how it is being a care manger. The results show that the role as care managers have challenges such as to intertwine their own notion how the caring of the elder should be with strict politic decisions. Other challenges are the limitation of economic recourses and reorganisations.

Bakgrund: Boende med allvarlig psykisk oh?lsa p? s?rskilda boenden har brist p? meningsfulla aktiviteter i sin vardag.

Aktiv i Mitt Hem (AiMH) ?r en aktivitetsbaserad intervention som syftar till att motivera boende till ?kat aktivitetsengagemang.

Syftet med det hÀr examensarbetet var att undersöka hur verksamma gymnasielÀrare har för uppfattning av de mÀnskliga rÀttigheternas stÀllning i Àmnet samhÀllskunskap och om lÀraren anser att undervisningen om de mÀnskliga rÀttigheterna utvecklar elevernas demokratiska kompetens. Uppsatsen tar Àven upp hur mÀnskliga rÀttigheterna framtrÀder i styrdokumenten. Det framgÄr att dess position har förÀndrats över tid och har i de nya kurs och lÀroplanerna fÄtt en allt mer tydlig position. Undersökningen skedde med hjÀlp av kvalitativa intervjuer med fyra verksamma lÀrare.Samtliga lÀrare som jag har intervjuat anser att demokrati och mÀnskliga rÀttigheter Àr nÄgot som hör ihop med demokrati och att undervisning om mÀnskliga rÀttigheter utvecklar elevernas demokratiska förmÄga. Kvantiteten och typ av undervisningen varierar mellan lÀrarna men ingen av lÀrarna undervisar mÀnskliga rÀttigheter pÄ regelbunden basis.Det vanligast förekommande Àr att undervisningen sker i samband med att lÀraren undervisar om demokrati. .

Through this study we want to enlighten how different companies work with their internal branding and how well they succeed in this process. We also want to examine if there are any differences in this work depending on the companies market position. Following question is used to investigate this process;- In what way and how well are companies working, depending on market position to implement and maintain their work with the internal brand?For the study a theoretical model was created based on our existing theory. The model contains three main variables; create, communicate and uphold; i.e.

In today?s industry it is starting to get more and more interesting with wireless systems and solutions for applications. To be able to reduce the amount of cables drawn to various machines which takes both space and an extra fee for every cable drawn. Some systems might require the user to use a handheld device that is directly connected by a cable which in some machines might be inelegant for the user.The goal with this bachelor thesis is to develop wireless monitoring of the machine operators position that is working with heavy industrial machinery. The thesis started out with researching different techniques for positioning a transmitter indoors, this was done in order to get a better understanding on how to go about.

Betting under ordered forms has been around for a long time, but the recent increase in Internet betting and the large sums of money that are now involved makes it even more important for betting companies to have correct odds. The purpose of the essay is to calculate probabilities for outcomes of football games using a statistical model and to see if you can find better odds than a betting company.The data contains the 380 games from the 2004/2005 season and the variables form, head-to-heads, league position, points, home/away, average attendance, promoted team, distance and final league position from previous season. After performing an ordered probit regression we only find the variable ?form of the away team? to be significant at the 5 % level. We suspect the presence of multicollinearity and perform a VIF-test which confirms this. To fix this problem we perform a second ordered probit regression where a number of variables are combined to index variables. In the second regression we once again find only one significant variable.

This study is about female leadership. The purpose was to gain a better insight to qualities female managers in public sector assume they need to make an enjoyable leadership. We were also interested in finding out what they think is the joy and amusement in the leadership and how they consider responsibility and authority. We used a qualitative method interviewing female leaders at their work. In our analysis of the data we have looked for pattern and key words in a qualitative way.
