2009 omorganiserades läkarutbildningen vid Umeå universitet och bedrivs idag med stöd av olika former av informations-och kommunikationsteknologier (IKT). Syftet med föreliggande uppsats var att identifiera och förstå de uppfattningar som centrala ledningspersoner inom läkarutbildningen vid Umeå universitet uttrycker avseende hur IKT inverkar på utbildningens design, innehåll och genomförande samt förstå vilka uppfattningar dessa personer gav uttryck för vad gäller att förbereda studenterna för framtida professionsutövning i en digitaliserad medicinsk sjukvårdspraktik. Semistrukturerade telefonintervjuer och frågeformulär användes för att samla in data från fyra centrala ledningsaktörer. TPACK-ramverket möjliggjorde analys av respondenternas åsikter om hur lärares kunskapsnivåer inverkar på organiseringen av läkarutbildningen och läkarstudenternas övergång mellan utbildning och medicinsk sjukvårdspraktik. Resultatet visade att respondenterna i första hand förknippade IKT-implementeringen med organisatoriska möjligheter snarare än utmaningar samt att lärares varierande nivå av teknologiska och pedagogiska kunskaper är en faktor som har en stor påverkan på lärares upptagande och användning av IKT i undervisning..

Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur lärare säger sig uppfatta fritidspedagogens yrkesroll i skolan. Ett skriftligt frågeformulär skickades ut via e-post till fem olika pedagoger i skolår 1- 3. Formuläret bestod av öppna frågor. Urval av respondenter till studien gjordes från fem olika skolor i samma stad. Respondenterna hade olika lång arbetserfarenhet.

Since long time ago people have announced in one way or another when one of the membersof their family had died. In the old times ?oral? messages were used, e.g. people went to theirneighbors and told them what had happened. In church the priest announced the death of amember of the parish from the pulpit.When newspapers came into use at the end of 1800 and announcements became customary,this eventually turned out to be the ?proper? way in Sweden for announcing death.

AbstractThis literal review intended to assess and shed light upon if west-centric feminism justifiesthe neoliberal globalization that reproduces the reproduction of inequality in the world.The result indicated that sex is not sufficient to categorize a universal group of women andthat other aspects of social structures such as class, caste, ethnicity, race, religion and ageshould be included in transnational feminism, and that this discourse needs to becharacterized by contextual understanding of culture and power. Neoliberalism has createdspace for personal freedom and choice, but all do not possess the same conditions to utilisetools to attain positive progress in regard to these choices. Furthermore, this study hasrevealed that feminism is subordinate to the globalization of neoliberalism and that thepost-feminist trend could be perceived as being discrepant with a progressive transnationalfeminist movement..

In the wake of the electronic revolution digital library has become one of the central themes concerning libraries.

Bakgrund: Varje år insjuknar flera hundra patienter i njursvikt i Sverige och i början av 2011 var det cirka 3000 patienten i hemodialys. Tidigare forskning visar att dialysen påverkar patienten på många olika sätt bland annat genom kroppsliga besvär så som trötthet och nutritionsbesvär som leder till begränsningar, det har framkommit att det är viktigt att patienten får känna sig delaktig och har en kunskap om sin sjukdom. Syfte: Studiens syfte har varit att beskriva livsförändringar för njursviktspatienter som genomgår hemodialys. Metod: Examensarbetet är ett kvalitativ deskriptivt arbete, baserad på 9 intervjuer med njursviktspatienter som behandlas med hemodialys och i analysen användes en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Resultatet visar att livet i hemodialys upplevs som fångenskap att livet är begränsat både i form av tid men även den egna kroppens begränsningar.

In the digitized world many organizations experience a large flow of information. To sort and manage all the information can be difficult.

Since 1987 until November 2010, the entrepreneurs who choose to conduct its? company in the Swedish corporate form aktiebolag had no opportunity to evade or deselect the mandatory audit. The only choice that really was there to make was to which audit firm they would turn to and the Swedish auditor?s position was rather unchallenged. Today the circumstances are different and the small businesses have been given a chance to take charge of their own situation now being able to remove the auditor.

The current study sought to examine if post-produced semantic memory cues are a good aid for memory recall. It also focused on remembering units with a meaning, instead of just remembering lists of words. In the current study a factual text was used where the participants were tasked with recalling as much information as possible either with the aid of cues (keywords written by the participants themselfs), computer with Internet or no aids at all. The results showed that keywords are significantly better for memory recall. The results were discussed in regards to modern models describing semantic memory.

There are none known Bronze Age settlement on Gotland, although there are severalexcavation reports that mention that they have found a probable Bronze Age settlement. In the excavation that have been done in the study areas, there are Bronze Age dated hearths, cooking pits and post holes. These study areas have been investigated if they might be possible Bronze Age settlements. This paper discusses about the criteria of settlements and also investigate if the study areas meet those criterias. There are many different criteria for settlement but only the criteria of FMIS are used in the study.

Taiwan has over the past thirty years experienced a substantial political transformation. Being ruled by Chinese nationalists since World War II, Taiwan started its democratic transition in the late eighties. The new democratic system did not only provide people with freedom to vote, it also marked the beginning of a search for a new national identity. Based on the international theory of constructivism, this paper defines and studies the Taiwanese people?s progression away from a dominant Chinese national identity towards a uniquely defined Taiwanese identity.

Både svensk och internationell forskning har visat att diskriminerande strukturer är en del många universitetsstudenters vardag. Syftet med denna studie var att belysa hur kvinnliga studenter med utländskt ursprung berättar om vardagsrasism och förhållningsstrategier i relation till vardagsrasism. Efter sex öppna intervjuer och en e-post intervju analyserades kvinnornas berättelser narrativt och utifrån ett intersektionellt perspektiv. Kvinnornas berättelser konstruerade en varierande vardagsrasism, vilken baserades på ett samspel mellan kön och etnisk tillhörighet samt resulterade i förhållningsstrategier som humor, förminskande och distansering. Kvinnornas berättelser belyste vidare vardagsrasism som ett existerande problem, vilket inverkade på deras förhållningssätt gentemot skilda delar av universitetsvärlden..

The aim of this essay is to examine three separate Swedish public libraries and their respective websites on the grounds of the usability sciences. I firstly had to summarize the main properties of the usability-field in order to gain an extended knowledge of its purposes and possible usage for today?s library systems. I was then able to apply the extended knowledge in the examination of the three library websites and the purpose of determining whether or not they were designed according to the standards set by the usability-sciences.Usability is a rather new science that deals with the dissection and examination of computer-based systems, in order to find the key components that make systems user-friendlier. With user needs being the main focus of its research, usability tries to meet all the different needs of the modern user and construct systems that are less system-centered and more user-centered.
