This thesis aims towards an understanding of information systems and subject representation in relation to academic disciplines. This is achieved by comparing how a discipline, History of science and ideas, represents itself compared with the subject representation of its dissertations in an information system, LIBRIS. The point of departure for this thesis is the domain analytic view of Hjorland which states that the quality in information seeking is enhanced if the subject representation considers the contexts in which documents are produced and used. The importance of concepts such as domain and discipline is discussed. The disciplines view of itself is established by the study of articles written by scholars in the discipline, by how the discipline presents itself on the homepages of five university institutions and by the examination of titles and keywords given to dissertations in the discipline.

The aim of this masters thesis is to examine how daily encounters between the Danish public libraries and the library-users called ethnic minorities are described within the public library field. Danish public libraries have been assigned to play a larger role in societys strive towards integration of immigrants and refugees. Within Danish politics I find an emphasis on the importance of maintaining Danish culture, but it is rarely expressed if ethnic minorities are, can or should be a part of it. Theoretical and methodological starting points are hermeneutics and text-analysis. My theoretical framework is research about international migration and ethnic Relations IMER.

On the 15th of May 2011 the former leader of the International Monetary Fund, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, was accused of sexually assaulting a maid in a hotel room in New York. Strauss-Kahn was cleared of all charges on the 23rd of August 2011 since it could not be proven that he had forced the maid to have sexual Relations with him.The purpose of this study is to examine how the case was framed in two Swedish newspapers, Svenska Dagbladet and Aftonbladet. Svenska Dagbladet is a broadsheet newspaper and Aftonbladet is a tabloid newspaper.

Research in international trade situations has mainly focused on understanding the exporter?s actions and has showed ways on how these can be optimized. Although the importer in most cases, until this day, has been left outside this focus, it has been showed that the importer often is the active participant in an international dyad. It is the importer who is actively seeking suppliers for its production or distribution. Based on previous research in the area, the following study identifies the factors that are vital to the importer for satisfactory Relations.

Suicid är ett samhällsproblem i Sverige. Det är idag den största dödsorsaken bland unga mellan 15-29 års ålder. Vårdpersonalen anser att det är psykiskt påfrestande och svårt att tala om. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var därav att belysa hur sjuksköterskan kan förmedla tröst och hopp genom kommunikation och relation med den suicidnära patienten. Riskfaktorer för suicidnära patienter är bland andra hopplöshet, depression, Relationsförlust, suicidplan och tidigare suicidförsök.

Syftet är att undersöka hur ett företag, Sveaskog, arbetar med intressentdialog i praktiken - i vilka former och med vilka syften detta kan ske. Genom att studera företagets lokala dialogmöten önskar vi skapa fördjupad förståelse för dialogfenomenet ur sändar- och mottagarperspektiv.Följande frågor ställs:- Vilka är motiven hos företaget respektive intressenterna att delta i dialogen?- Vad karaktäriserar dialogsituationen och vilka svårigheter kan formen innebära?- Hur kan mötena beskrivas i termer av symmetri/asymmetri?I undersökningen används kvalitativ metod i form av halvstrukturerade samtalsintervjuer. Intervjuer har gjorts med sju av Sveaskogs anställda samt sammanlagt nio inbjudna mötesdeltagare från ett urval möten.Studien visar att dialogen är ett värdefullt verktyg för Relationsskapande, omvärldsbevakning och ökad förståelse - för både sändare och mottagare - även om idealet om symmetrisk tvåvägskommunikation och reell dialog förblir avlägsna. Ett antal fördelar och svårigheter med dialogformen har identifierats.

Arbetet handlar om hur man som höft och knäopererad patient känner sig bemött på en ortopedisk vårdavdelning efter att ha fått en protes inopererad. Dessa operationer kan i efterförloppet vara mycket smärtsamma och behöver i regel lång rehabilitering, vilket ställer stora krav på personalens sätt att vårda och bemöta patienter i postoperativt skede.Syftet är att beskriva hur patienter efter höft och knäprotesoperationer upplever personalens bemötande på ortopedisk vårdavdelning.En litteraturstudie är gjord utifrån kvalitativa artiklar som har bearbetats och analyserats enligt Evans metod som utgångspunkt för ett deskriptivt resultat.Resultatet presenteras utifrån tre teman; Att känna sig bemött som en unik individ: som skildrar patienters upplevelser av hur personalen tillgodoser varje enskild patients behov. Att känna sig professionellt omhändertagen: beskriver hur patienter känner när de blir väl omhändertagna under sin postoperativa tid på avdelningen. Att känna sig förbisedd: beskriver att patienter känner sig försummade och negligerade under sin postoperativa tid på vårdavdelningen. För att patienter med höft och knäproteser skall uppleva vården som positiv diskuteras vikten av att sjuksköterskan ger god information till patienten, att hon får fortlöpande utbildning och att vårdpersonalen arbetar med etiska reflektioner..

AbstractThe intention of our study is to examine how the view of homeless people and their life situation looks according to a selection of persons, which in their work get into contact with homeless people. The study is based on a qualitative method that includes interviews.The result of the study is based on interviews with eight persons working in the social services, volunteer organisations, the police and a security organisation. The majority of the persons that have been interviewed are normalising homeless people; they do not look upon them as different. At the same time they have the opinion that homeless people live a tougher life and that they have to fight more for their living than other people. The persons that we have interviewed share the view that homeless people live under a constant pressure of finding a place to sleep.

Train travel has increased in Sweden, and future increase of train transports putdemands on the already vastly exploited railroad net. The increased need of capacitycan be seen in the ongoing and planned expansions of the railway track. One part ofthe railroad infrastructure which is affected by an increase of travellers is the design ofthe station platform. Since the platform is the place where the traveller meets thetrain, dangerous situations can occur in this environment. A number of studies focuson single safety risks, albeit there is no research to show the full picture of safety inthe platform environment.This study aims to treat and put together a compilation of risks for the traveller in theplatform environment in the form of a checklist, which can be used as support inplanning and design of a safer platform environment for existing or planned platforms.The thesis has, through case studies of five ongoing projects within the NationalRailroad Administration (Banverket), interviews with train company personnel andinternational railroad administrators, identified and treated safety (and security) risksin the platform environment.The conclusion of the study is that the Relations between the traveller, the physicalplatform environment and the project organisation are important to explore andexploit when designing effective safety measures.

There is an awareness of the importance of gender equality in most western societies, both at the political level and in everyday life. In academia, for instance, gender is nowadays a scientific field which indicates that there is a lot of knowledge about the subject. What we do not have much knowledge about is whether gender knowledge leads to changes in gender Relations in practice. The aim of this study is to explore how gender scholars relate to using ? practicing ? gender knowledge.

Suicide research has a long tradition within sociology. Parallel to the Durkheimian tradition, seeking the causes of suicide in societal factors, a more cultural understanding of suicide has been emphasized. Attitudes to suicide have been stressed as important for the understanding of suicide mortality levels in different societies. For Russia, where suicide mortality levels are among the highest in the world, an understanding of this kind might be of particular importance.Based on a survey study from Moscow 2004, attitudes to suicide were studied in relation to social, economic and demographic factors as well as to attitudes to other morally disputable behaviors. Suicide attitudes in different age and sex groups in the sample were further compared to suicide mortality levels in the corresponding groups in the population.
