The aim of this study was to describe how retired nurses, educated in Uppsala, and students at Uppsala University's nursing program experience the importance of vocation in education and career choice. None of the participants had experienced vocation as a reason for choosing nursing as a career. The main reason was instead a desire to work with people. They also expressed that it was a profession like any other. The retired nurses said that the education was something of an up-bringing with religious elements.

The core process is responsible for internal business development and is the process that runs through the organization and the results which creates a value for the customer. Some research suggests that identification of the client's conscious or unconscious needs clarifying the so-called core process in the organization and operations can thus be more effective. The study aims to identify and analyze the experience of the core process within child health care. The method has been interviews with nine managers and 10 clinic nurses in a county. The results show a lack of knowledge regarding core process and process work.

Auditing has long existed and it was in 1899 that the first Swedish organization for accountants SRS, Swedish Audit Society, was created and in 1923 that FAR, Association of Chartered Accountants, was formed. It was after the Kreuger crash in the 1930s that authorized auditors had their breakthrough. After the crash the accounting profession has endured fierce criticism when the audit was flawed and it was during this period that authorized auditors became more widespread, the concept was developed independently and the importance of auditor independence became evident.We have in our paper therefore chosen to focus on auditor independence and to make that it requires the independence to relate to something. Therefore we have chosen to focus on the interaction between the auditor and the client. To explain what independence means we have used the analysis model, the expectation gap and communication, and explain what the audit entails and what tasks the auditor has.

Stem rust, Puccinia graminis, has caused enormous yield losses throughout history which have had significant consequences for oat and wheat production. Today in Sweden stem rust is only reported from rye, oats and wild grasses. Stem rust infections in wheat have become unusual due to the general use of resistant wheat varieties and also due to the eradication of barberry, Berberis vulgaris, the alternate host for P. graminis. According to international sources, new races of P.

Vi har gjort en textanalys på de två senaste statliga offentliga utredningarna, som föreslår en ny lärarutbildningsreform, med deras tillhörande propositionerna. I dessa har vi undersökt hur reformerna motiveras och legitimeras genom argumentationen. Vi har sedan delat in argumentationen i olika kategorier för att få en bättre struktur och kartläggning av de olika typer av argument som förekom. Vi kom fram till att de flesta argument yrkar på en lärarutbildningsreform tar sin utgångspunkt i att det skett en samhällsförändring och därav har det uppstått en ny syn på lärarrollen samt en ny kunskapssyn.  Även argument för en stärkt profession och högre status har förekommit..

This essay concerns the fantastic and its position in narration. The fantastic's defintion is based on Martin Horstkotte's defintion in The Postmodern Fantastic and the essay focuses on the noncontextual aspects such as the clash between two incompatible fictional worlds and the absence created. Instead of the ordinary identification of the established fictional world with realism and our reality it is suggested that both of the colliding fictional worlds are fictive and that the established one not necessarily need to be realistic. Exampels on how the fantastic takes place on the syntagmatic level in a narration is drawn from the short story ?Samvetets fantasi? by Clas Livijn when analysed with Peter Brooks' closurebased narratology theory in Reading for the Plot.

This is a qualitative study where the purpose was to investigate what professionals experience to be the reason for an individual to become addicted to gambling and continues to gamble even though it leads to negative consequences. The purpose was also to investigate what the professionals experienced was of importance for an individual to recover from a gambling addiction. The study was based on qualitative semi-structured interviews with knowledgeable individuals in the field. The main findings of the study were that the motivation for individuals with a gambling problem to continue gamble was that they saw gambling as the solution to their problems by winning back lost money. It was common that gambling was an escape from anxiety, guilt, shame, and other gambling-related problems such as financial liabilities.

Den här masteruppsatsen handlar om hur kiropraktiken togs emot och utvecklades i Sverige från det att de första kiropraktorerna kommer under mellankrigsperioden, med början runt år 1921, och fram till dess att organisationen Diplomerade Chiropractorers Förening inregistreras år 1936. Syftet med uppsatsen är att studera processer för görandet av professionsidentitet och professionskultur med utgångspunkt i en kulturanalytisk studie av skrifter, artiklar, brev och publikationer som kiropraktorerna själva producerat och/eller figurerar i. Min huvudfrågeställning är: ? Vilka vägar och strategier för att uppnå erkännande och organisering som profession valde de första svenska kiropraktorernas under perioden 1921-1936 och vilka bakomliggande processer, konflikter samt orsaker var det som ledde fram till dessa val? Den teoretiska ansatsen i uppsatsen grundar sig i ett aktörsorienterat och socialkonstruktivistiskt perspektiv. Bourdieus begrepp fält, doxa och symboliskt kapital används som verktyg för att förklara de processer och maktstrukturer som är i spel, medan Thomas F.

Syftet med studien har varit att försöka finna svar på frågeställningen: Hur uppfattar lärare sin profession utifrån tid och rum? Och vilka omständigheter är avgörande och ligger till grund för lärares utformning av sin undervisning samt vilka delar av arbetet behöver bearbetas för att läraryrket ska kunna nå en högre professionell nivå? Metoden som vi använt oss av för att försöka få svar på våra frågeställningar har varit kvalitativa intervjuer, som vilar på enhermeneutisk och fenomenologisk forskningsansats, där intervjufrågorna innehar en låg grad av standardisering och strukturering. För att studien ska belysas på bästa möjliga sätt så presenteras relevant litteratur och tidigare forskning inom området i studiens bakgrundskapitel. Resultatet som framkom genom intervjuerna tyder i stor utsträckning på att lärare känner sig stressade i det dagliga arbetet och att de är begränsade i sitt yrke utifrån den tid som är avsatt för arbetet. En viss uppgivenhet märks hos informanterna utifrån att det är så mycket de vill ta till vara på och utveckla, men att tiden inte räcker till.

Under de senaste decennierna har betydande reformvågor sköljt över det svenska utbildningsväsendet, en majoritet utav vilka fallit inom ramen för det nya styrsystem som brukar gå under betäckningen New Public Management. Detta har medfört att skolornas organisationsstrukturer i allt större utsträckning styrts till att efterlikna de företagssystem, så starkt präglade utav revision och mätning, vilka står att finna i den privata sektorn. Studien har stöpt sin utgångspunkt i antagandet att alla organisationstrender har sin källa i det mänskliga medvetandet vars kunskaper, ej sällan, är alstrade kring kollektivt konstruerade verkligheter och sanningar. Ett angreppssätt som kunnat delge förståelse och mening till denna subjektiva meningsvärld är diskursanalysens grundprinciper. En diskurs kan kortfattat förstås som ett bestämt sätt att tala om, och förstå världen, där diskursanalysen ämnar belysa språkets givna mönster och konstruktioner.

Objectivity is often emphasized as one of the fundamental principles for the auditing profession and is also a requirement for preserving satisfactory professional practice. The multiple company scandals in the first decade of the 21st century have created distrust for auditors? capability to maintain objectivity. The purpose of this study is to contribute with a new way of thinking when it comes to the factors that affect objectivity. Earlier studies have indicated that personality factors may affect work performance in many different fields and this study is exploring the connection between separate personality factors, and the capability of less experienced auditors to maintain objectivity in the relationship with dominating and demanding clients.Data was collected through a survey that was divided into two separate parts where the first part measured the participant?s score on different personality factors, and the other part measured the participant?s score on perceived objectivity.
