Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur samverkan mellan olika verksamheter kan organiseras.      I uppsatsens bakgrund framhålls varför samverkan blir vanligare samt vad det innebär för professionella som deltar i den. Samverkan blir vanligare genom att regeringen yrkar på samverkan i praktiken samt att det benämns i lagtext. Samverkan är en omfattande förändringsprocess mot något okänt vilket kan leda till en rädsla för samverkan hos professionella som ska praktisera den.      Den metod som användes var kvalitativ och det empiriska materialet har samlats in genom semi strukturerade intervjuer.

I denna studie har insamling av referensdata över språkförståelse hos treåringar med typisk språkutveckling genomförts. Till detta har bedömningsmaterialet Sofialådan (Westerlund & Öfverholm-Engström, 1995) använts. Sofialådan bygger som flera andra språkförståelsematerial på den s.k. act-outmetoden där man låter barnet agera med föremål efter en given instruktion. Med hjälp av föremålen i Sofialådan bedöms barnets förmåga att identifiera grundfärger och storleksbegrepp, kategorisera, flytta föremålenligt olika prepositionsanvisningar samt att följa flerledade instruktioner.

Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva och ge en översikt av arbetsterapi inom palliativ vård. För att besvara studiens syfte genomfördes en litteraturöversikt över aktuell forskning inom området med såväl systematisk som osystematisk sökning av vetenskapliga artiklar. De tretton artiklar som motsvarade inklusionskriterierna valdes ut, kvalitetsgranskades och analyserades utifrån en kvalitativ innehållsanalys med stöd av ett teoretiskt raster. Analysen resulterade i ett övergripande tema: en sammanflätning av olika professionella resonemang möter klienters behov, och fem underteman: interaktivt-, narrativt-, vetenskapligt-, pragmatiskt- och etiskt resonemang. Resultatet visade att arbetsterapi inom palliativ vård är komplext och skiljer sig från traditionell arbetsterapi.

As an amateur it can be difficult filming from several angles at the same time as this requires several cameras. It´s also hard to film at occasions when it´s not appropriate to manoeuvre the camera manually. Systems for solving these problems already exist, but it´s either more expensive, professionalsystems or cheaper systems with limited functionality.The purpose of this project is to develop a cost efficient solution to the problem above that offers a better functionality then existing commercial systems. The biggest difference from existing products is the wireless video feedback from the camera to the remote unit.The result of the project is a system consisting of two units, a manoeuvre unit with a cradle for the video camera and a remote unit from which the operator can control pan and tilt of the video camera.Communication between the two units is wireless.On the remote unit there is a joystick and a display mounted. In addition to this, there is also an IR receiver that is capable of reading the signal from the cameras own remote and sending it to the manoeuvre unit.The manoeuvre unit is equipped with one motor to control the tilt function and one motor to control the pan.

This study examined gray areas within professional ethics of a public library organization and investigated the relationship between the library as an organization and the librarian as an employee when it comes to support and opportunities to make exceptions to rules and regulations. This relationship is then related to workplace issues.Data were gathered via interviews with six librarians who were placed into two focus groups. Library organization documents that contain rules and regulations (guidelines) were examined. The presumption was that conformity between librarians? experiences and actions and the organization?s guidelines will tell us something about workplace conditions.
