 Föreliggande uppsats är en kvalitativ studie beträffande Region Hallands förändrade förhållningssätt till arbetsmiljö och företagshälsovård i Region Halland med Avdelningen för arbetsmiljö i fokus. Vi fann det intressant att finna ut vilka möjligheter och vilka risker det fanns med detta förändrade förhållningssätt, samt vad fenomenet tillit hade för påverkan i förändringen. Syfte med studien var att utifrån respondenternas berättelser, skildra deras upplevelser beträffande det förändrade förhållningssättet gentemot arbetsmiljö och företagshälsovård inom Region Halland. Det är utifrån respondenternas syn på arbetsmiljö i allmänhet och Avdelningen för arbetsmiljö i synnerhet tillsammans med teorier och de centrala begreppen strategi, ledarskap och tillit som vi har analyserat och tolkat respondenternas upplevelser och därmed skapat en förståelse. Studien genomfördes med kvalitativ metod där data samlades in genom primära källdokument, information från Region Hallands hemsida samt sju genomförda kvalitativa intervjuer med förvaltningschefer, personalchefer och fackliga företrädare.

The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding about the police profession's impact on the singular individual, with a focus on roles, regions and emotions. The main question is to understand if and then so, how individuals outside of work will be affected of the profession and professional events. In order to answer this question I carried out six semi-structured in-depth interviews with police officers who worked at the main office in a police region in a midsize city in Sweden. To ensure reliability and allow readers to conduct their own assessments the quotations in this study are anonymous. The analysis of the collected material is based on selected parts of Goffman's theories about dramaturgical perspective as well as selected emotion theories.

Gastric ulcer is a common disease among pigs in the whole world where an intensiveproduction occurs. It is mainly the upper region, the nonglandular region of the stomach thatis affected. Gastric ulceration is a disease with several risk factors. The factor that seems tohave the largest impact on the development of gastric ulceration is a small particle size of thefeed. The reported prevalence of gastric ulceration differs from 5 to 100 % and it is a largeherd-to-herd variation.

Recent years there has been discussed how the critical situation in the housing market threatens the Stockholm region's growth. The thesis objective is to examine whether there is a scientific link between the lack of housing supply and growth. The thesis also intends to identify solutions for increased housing construction, for instance by examining the conditions for a greater regional perspective and influence on the region's housing supply. The thesis empirical study is based on semi-structured interviews with representatives from the Government, municipalities and the housing industry.In Sweden, research on the relationship between housing shortages and growth has not been conducted to that extent it can be said to exist scientific evidence regarding the growth threat. However, in Britain and the U.S, empirical studies show that a lack of housing supply has hindered growth through negative impact on countries' gross domestic product.

The demand for biogas as vehicle fuel has risen sharply and there is a great need for increased production. A possible addition of vehicle gas can be produced by upgrading landfill gas which is formed by degradation of organic waste. This thesis investigates the potential of producing vehicle fuel from landfill gas in the region of Biogas Öst.In 2008, an amount of 32 million Nm3 landfill gas was extracted in the region. This level can be maintained for another ten years if the efficiency of gas extraction is improved. The annual production will decrease with time since landfills aren?t allowed to receive more organic waste.

AbstractSince 1990, special needs educators have been working in both primary and junior school. It has not been easy for the special needs educators to take authority when working with broader educational issues due to the varying requirements placed upon them. The object of this study is to examine how certain primary and junior school teachers describe their expectations of special needs educators and their professional role.I have conducted individual interviews with three primary school teachers and three junior school teachers, who have at least five years experience of working within their respective fields. The interviews have been scrutinized, and the results are presented with the help of five different themes. The results were then analysed in accordance with the two perspectives of special needs education described by Persson (2001) those of both the relational and the categorical perspective.Amongst other things the results show that the view of primary and junior school teachers with regards to special needs educators differ one from another.

Syftet med uppsatsen var att beskriva hur mindre tjänsteföretag drar nytta av sin region för att locka internationella gäster.

Banks find themselves at a highly competitive market where it is important to achieve high customer satisfaction if they want to attract customers and stay competitive. Some studies suggest that the gap between customer expectations and perception within the five quality dimensions influences the customer satisfaction. With SERVQUAL the authors of this thesis have investigated the suggested relationship and have discovered no indications of a relationship between the gap and customer satisfaction. Instead the results indicate that there is a relationship between perceived service and customer satisfaction. The thesis also indicates that the most important quality dimension for the bank customer is reliability.

Vägverket är central förvaltningsmyndighet med ett samlat ansvar, sektorsansvar, för hela vägtransportsystemet. Som förvaltningsmyndighet ansvarar Vägverket för myndighetsutövning inom vägtransportsektorn samt för planering, byggande, drift och underhåll av de statliga vägarna. Vägverket är uppdelad i sju regioner, där Vägverket Region Norr omfattar Norrbotten och Västerbottens län I planering och drift och underhåll ska Vägverket Region Norr utföra samråd med olika intressenter och en av de grupperna är renägarna som har rätt till vissa markområden för renskötsel. Många renar är inblandade i trafikolyckor och det är ett problem som Vägverket Region Norr vill lösa. Sverige har idag 51 stycken samebyar som breder ut sig i Norrbotten, Västerbotten och Jämtland.

The social dimension in the EU, explored through the document texts of the Treaty of Rome, the Lisbon Strategy, the Social Policy Agenda and the Swedish Strategy ReportThis paper explores the social dimension of EU social policy, except the aspects of the economic and labour market. The EU documents reveal an underlying line of thought stemming from the alignment of the six founding countries, spearheaded by France, with the conservative corporatist welfare model. As one of four European welfare models, the conservative corporatist model emphasises labour market issues, corporate social responsibility and the subsidiarity principle in EU social policy. It also influences how the texts define the terms social, social policy and social exclusion. The definitions determine how policymakers combat problems such as social exclusion and identify the policy issues to be included in EU social policy.The Swedish Strategy shows how the country is responding to the objectives that it has been assigned by the EU and how it plans to attain them.
