Att det finns en genomgående rädsla för unga kvinnor att bli våldtagna har konstaterats i tidigare studier. Folkhälsoinstitutet visar i en annan studie att kvinnor i stor utsträckning undviker att utnyttja grönområden på grund av rädsla för våldtäkt och överfall. År 2020 ska Skellefteås vision om världens tryggaste samhälle förverkligats, trygg sexualitet och ungdomars psykiska och fysiska hälsa ska prioriteras. Syftet med denna rapport är att lyfta fram hur unga kvinnors rädsla för våldtäkt ser ut, deras tankar kring prevention samt de aktuella aktörernas preventiva åtgärder för att förebygga rädslan. Studien är avgränsad till Skellefteå kommun och 54 av dess unga kvinnor mellan 17-20 år som har fått besvara en enkätundersökning vilken rapporten i stort bygger på.

Övervikt och fetma är ett växande folkhälsoproblem som medför risker för att utveckla sjukdomar som hjärtsjukdom, diabetes och ledbesvär. En ökning av övervikt och fetma ses även hos barn och studier har visat att barn med fetma löper högre risk att drabbas av sjukdomar senare i livet. Vinster finns i att arbeta förebyggande mot övervikt, både på individ och på samhällsnivå. Skolsköterskan har en viktig roll i detta preventiva arbete. Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva skolsköterskors preventiva arbete mot övervikt och fetma hos barn i låg- och mellanstadiet samt uppfattningar om och reflektioner kring detta arbete.

How effective is consumer power? Can consumers regulate corporate behavior?And if so is the case, could the mechanisms where consumers regulate corporatebehavior have any democratic value to contribute with? These are the questionsthat this master's thesis comprehends with. The purpose of this writing is toconstruct a theory of consumer power that is compatible with democratic theory,this in order to contribute to the ongoing discussion within the discipline ofpolitical science about the third democratic transformation. A discussion that hasbeen actualized due to the democratic deficit created by the growing corporatepower and the shift of power from state to private enterprises. Besides showingfor a parallel between the democratic mechanisms that exists in the relationbetween citizens and state on the one hand, and the consumers and corporationson the other hand, this paper argues that consumers do have a great potential inregulating corporate behavior towards a higher social responsibility andawareness.

Purpose of this study is to investigate whether BBIC had an effect on the interaction between social services and schools. To find this out, a comparative study carried out between two municipalities in southern Sweden who has worked with the BBIC system different lengths of time. The empirical data is based on six qualitative interviews with heads of unit in social services, principals in secondary schools, and social workers who work with children- and youth investigations. The theoretical framework consists of Bronfenbrenners Ecology model, systems theory as organizational theory and the theory of autopoiesis, and Danermark model of collaboration. The results of the survey show that respondents do not find that their inter-organizational collaboration has been significantly affected by the implementation of BBIC, but that BBIC provides a good basis for collaboration due to the logic and structure of the system..

Bakgrund: Övervikt och fetma är ett ökande folkhälsoproblem och sambandet med följdsjukdomar och hälsokonsekvenser tyder på vikten av tidig prevention. Övervikt debuterar ofta i tidig ålder och har en tendens att följa med i vuxenlivet. För att uppnå tidig prevention krävs att utarbetade metoder finns att tillgå samt att effekterna av dessa utvärderas och utvecklas. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att jämföra skillnader hos överviktiga flickor och pojkar gällande total energiomsättning och fysisk aktivitetsnivå i åldrarna 14 ? 17 år samt att undersöka fördelningen och genomsnittstiden av de skattade aktivitetsnivåerna mellan könen. Metod: En retrospektiv studie där aktivitetsdagböcker från överviktiga remitterade ungdomar på pediatriska forskningslaboratoriet på Akademiska sjukhuset i Uppsala granskades. Urvalet bestod av 35 pojkar och 24 flickor med fyra dygns komplett ifyllda aktivitetsdagböcker. Resultat: Studiens resultat visade att det fanns en statistisk signifikant skillnad gällande total energiomsättning och fysisk aktivitetsnivå mellan pojkar och flickor.
