The knowledge of early employment experiences has evolved over the last decade in countries such as Australia and Great Britain. In Sweden, this type of research is still unusual and the aim of this study was to break new ground by highlighting some areas that could be of extra interest in the Swedish early employment research to come. A focus in the study was to give an overview of what job sectors school students work in; and the amount of jobs aquired through school-organized work placement, private social networks or personal marketing of own merits. In addition to this, a multi variate analysis was carried out to find patterns in the picture of early employment experiences among students at upper secondary school. The findings of the study has relevance for ways of conducting career counselling and therefore the general aim of this study is to point out the importance of developing the practises of vocational psychology.A survey among 74 teenaged school students with economics as their main subject has been carried out in a mid-size Swedish city May 2012.

This paper describes a method for wireless energy transfer via near-field electromagnetic inductionthat is inexpensive, simple and can be applied to almost any type of system, regardless of size andenergy demands.The method uses a primary unit consisting of an oscillator, amplifier and inductive coil thattransfers energy to a secondary unit consisting of a coil, rectifier and voltage regulator. Two typesof oscillators and several amplifier designs were realized and evaluated together with a multitudeof flat coils of both monofilar and bifilar type.The results show that it is important to use an oscillator whose frequency is dependent on theinductance of the connected transmission coil, such as the Colpitts oscillator. This is preferable toan oscillator with a preset frequency, such as a Schmitt-trigger oscillator..

Studenter har fått höra att arbeta inom sjukvården med omvårdande arbete kan vara väldigt påfrestande för den egna hälsan. Detta arbetes syfte har då varit att undersöka vilka komplikationer till omvårdnad i form av psykisk ohälsa ? specifikt vad gällande Secondary Traumatic Stress, Compassion Fatigue och Vicarious Traumatization ? som kan drabba sjuksköterskan, samt att undersöka vad som utgör risk- och skyddsfaktorer.

The purpose of this study was to examine if there are common factors that lead to young people committing crimes according to professionals in social work, crime prevention and the police. The study also aims to examine if juveniles in Swedish suburbs commit more crimes, the consequences that follows and what actions socialworkers have for these juveniles. The study was conducted through qualitative interviews of five professionals in the area who were contacted from different units. In the analysis Goffmans (1971) theory of stigma was used and Goldberg's (2005) Conspiracy Theory. Some of the conclusions that could be drawn from the study was that there is not only one factor influencing young people to delinquency, but often combinations of different factors that lead to this.

Malnutrition är vanligt förekommande hos personer med demenssjukdomar och för denna utsatta grupp är det av vikt att fokusera på nutrition och omvårdnadsåtgärder. Syftet med ddenna litteraturstudie är att belysa malnutrition och riskfaktorer ho dementa personer samt beskriva vad sjuksköterskan bör vara uppmärksam på i sitt arbete för att förebygga malnutrition och hur bättre nutritionsstatus kan uppnås. Metoden i arbetet är en litteraturstudie i vilken 9 kvantitativa artiklar och 1 kantitativ/kvalitativ studie granskats ur ett vetenskapligt perspektiv. Resultatet presenteras utifrån tre huvudområden: nutritionsproblem och tillhörande faktorer,utbildning samt interventioner. Tillsammans visar de på förekomst av malnutrition och att det via utbildning och åtgärder går att påverka nutritionsstatus hos dementa personer.

Postoperativa lungkomplikationer är ett stort problem inom sjukvården. Det ökar mortaliteten och skapar onödigt lidande för patienterna samt ökar kostnaderna för sjukvården då patienterna ligger inne längre tid. Syftet med denna studie var att genom en litteraturöversikt beskriva vilka faktorer som kan leda till ökad risk att drabbas av postoperativa lungkomplikationer, samt effekter av att använda omvårdnadsinterventioner för att förebygga dessa. Förebyggande av allmänna postoperativa komplikationer inkluderades inte i studien. Resultatet består av 22 artiklar som valdes ut genom litteratursökningar och sedan kvalitetsgranskades och analyserades med hjälp av matriser.

This report concentrates on why more people do not choose an environmentally friendly car instead of a conventional car. To find this answer we have used theories that include decision - behavior and environment - philosophy. We have also made four surveys, which includes several interviews.

We have found that the stimulus that we have today isn?t enough to make more people choose an environmentally friendly car instead of a conventional car.
