PDF handling is often meant to be used in books and inregular text documents, but it could also be used in the management of drawings.An industry that would benefit greatly from the use of tablets for this purpose is the con- struction industry.

SammanfattningBakgrund: Övergrepp mot kvinnor i nära relation är ett globalt problem. Trettio procent av alla kvinnor världen över har någon gång blivit utsatt för övergrepp i nära relation, men det finns många kvinnor som aldrig ger sig till känna. Det finns vidare ingen lag som säger att sjuksköterskan måste anmäla övergreppet, däremot ska en anmälan ske om det finns minderåriga barn i hushållet. Personal inom hälso- och sjukvård kan tycka det är svårt att behålla sitt professionella förhållningssätt när det kommer till övergrepp i nära relation. Därför behövs mer kunskap för både sjuksköterskans och kvinnans skull, om vad övergrepp i nära relation handlar om och hur det kan upplevas utifrån ur bägges perspektiv.Syfte: Att belysa vården av kvinnor utsatta för övergrepp i nära relation.Metod: Litteraturstudie med kvalitativ ansats.

Att finna nya vägar för att reducera och effektivisera verksamheten blir allt vanligare bland dagens företag. Världen blir mindre och företag finner möjligheter att utveckla sin verksamhet med hjälp av andra företag. Detta innebär att de nationella gränserna alltmer börjar suddas ut, att söka internationella partners har därmed blivit allt vanligare för att integrera ny teknik och innovationer i verksamheten. Att välja att offshora delar av verksamheten till Indien innebär ofta nya utmaningar för företaget. I denna affärsrelation kommer företaget att möta kulturella, kommunikativa och organisatoriska skillnader.

Sjuksköterskans yrke handlar till stor del om att bygga upp relationer ur de möten sjuksköterskan har med patienten. Hur patienten upplever mötet med sjuksköterskan är ytterst väsentligt eftersom mötet skapar grunden för den fortsatta relationen. Inom den palliativa vården så tar dessa möten ofta plats mellan patienter, som befinner sig i kritiska si-tuationer i livet, och sjuksköterskor. Syftet var att beskriva upplevel-serna i mötet mellan sjuksköterskan och patienten inom den palliativa vården samt hur dimensionerna i begreppen kommunikation, stöd och tillit i en relation mellan sjuksköterskan och den palliativa patienten framträder. Metoden som vi använde oss av var en litteraturstudie och artiklar som stämde överens med syfte och frågeställningar användes.

The purpose of the study is to describe how financial management functions within the individual and family care services in three mid-sized municipalities.27 interviews with managers and key personnel at three management levels in Örebro, Växjö and Jönkö-ping were conducted using a descriptive approach and qualitative method. In addition governing docu-ments and delineations in regards to these municipalities have been studied.The combined findings show that all municipalities have separate visions and control systems/models for their municipality with focus on management by objectives and politically determined goals, which in-clude economical measurements and requirements for the departments. Moreover, are also tracking sys-tems, which are described as following up on the results thru indicators and/or measurable goals. The municipalities utilize framework financials and budget processing on a high level and its timings appears similar in each municipality.Additionally the study has shown that there is a desire and aspiration to implement central economic goals in all three municipalities. The interviewees describe how they use their leadership to anchor, follow up and create participation in economic objectives and results thru instrumental and institutional leadership.

The purpose of the thesis is to examine why women face greater difficulties than men in the management consulting industry when advancing as well as to identify potential success factors that enable women to overcome the existing difficulties. In order to fulfil the purpose, a theoretical framework including gender and organisational theory has been applied to a qualitative case study of two Swedish management consulting firms. A number of difficulties have been identified related to women's career advancement, which are the following: the male leader and the stereotypical male leadership, firms having higher expectations on women's performance, women's reluctance to self-promotion and to play "the organizational game", women's preference of social networks, men's tendency to promote other men, and the choice and conflict between a career and family life. The identified success factors that enable women to overcome these difficulties are: adapting the male leadership style, having an extrovert behaviour, becoming more active in professional networks, promoting one self, actively seeking to gain more attention, and prioritising one's career. These success factors can be summarised as women adapting a more male-like behaviour.

Syftet med föreliggande kandidatuppsats har varit att utifrån forskning om riskfaktorer, redogöra för vilka riskfaktorer gärningsmän har som utövar dödligt våld mot en kvinna i en nära relation. En nationell och internationell forskningsöversikt genomfördes samt en kvantitativ innehållsanalys av tio domslut från olika Tingsrätter i Sverige. Sammantaget så visar nationell och internationell forskning att de vanligaste riskfaktorerna för dödligt våld är separationsproblematik hos gärningsmannen, drog/alkoholmissbruk, tidigare utsatt offret för partnervåld, samt arbetslöshet. Innehållsanalysen av domsluten bekräftar den vetenskapliga forskningen där de vanligaste riskfaktorerna för brottet är en problemfylld relation, utsatt offret för tidigare hot om våld, kontrollbehov, separationsproblematik samt sexuell svartsjuka. Mer forskning efterfrågas kring depression hos gärningsmannen vid brottet, som både litteraturgenomgången och innehållsanalysen visade vara en riskfaktor. Ytterligare forskning efterfrågas också om styvbarn och hög åldersskillnad mellan offer och gärningsman, som den internationella forskningen visade verka som riskfaktorer.

Under vår tidigare studie med titel ?Utveckling eller förveckling; En interaktiv studie om en förändringsprocess på en gymnasieskola.? (Alexandersson & Carlén, 2007) uppmärksammade vi förändringsarbetes komplexitet. Tillsammans med lärarna och skolledningen togs beslutet att följa upp deras utvecklingsprocess genom denna studie av fördjupande karaktär. Studiens syfte var att förstå vad som sker i en arbetslagspraktik i samband med ett utvecklingsarbete med fokus på de kritiska aspekter som kan uppstå i en sådan process. Vi antog en hermeneutisk ansats och valde aktionsforskning som metod där vi använde reflexiva intervjuer som erbjuder flexibilitet vid intervjutillfällena. Analysarbetet präglades av att tolka, och reflektera över, den insamlade datan i relation till vår förförståelse som inom hermeneutiken ses som grundläggande. Resultatet visar på hur flera olika faktorer inverkar på, och samverkar i, förändringsarbete.

Based on an analysis of the Swedish laws in the field of healthcare, the purpose of this essay in jurisprudence is to examine whether Sweden has a need to implement the new EU-resolution on abortion. The study is based upon legal sources such as official government reports (SOU) as well as words of an Act. The subject also deals with ethical standards and more community-oriented material, and texts from both these areas are also included. The Swedish laws in health care are extensive, but still put the patient first. Care givers are able to delegate their responsibility if it means good health care which is also a key word in the Swedish health care.

The aim of this study was to explore and gain understanding of the situation between managers in different forms of human service organizations. I chose to use a qualitative method and conducted semi-structured interviews with five professional middle managers in the public sector. To accomplish my purpose, I worked on the basis of several questions. The questions dealt with the role of middle management and what it involves, how it is perceived and what the middle managers think of the specific requirements for them and their leadership in organizations that provide services relating to people.  As a result of the analysis I have used the theory of social roles that describes the meaning of the different roles and role conflicts that arise in connection with various and conflicting expectations. The review of the results shows that middle managers in human service organizations experience to have to deal with a complex leadership role.
