Prestationsmätning används för att mäta anställdas prestationer och ett sätt att utvärdera dessa är genom att använda feedback. Feedback ger möjlighet att diskutera individers styrkor respektive svagheter och kan användas för att påverka ett beteende och framförallt för att påverka en individs arbetsinsats. När feedback ska förmedlas är det viktigt att återkoppling är anpassad efter personen som ska ta del av den för att feedbacken ska bli så effektiv som möjligt. Mottagaren av feedbacken bör se detta som något positivt för att förstå hur dennes handlingar påverkar både sin egen och hela organisationens prestation. Hur feedback förmedlas inom olika professioner kan variera på grund av att olika professioner också utvärderas på olika sätt.

Landscape architecture is a visual profession, but other senses also affect our interpretation of a place. Sounds can give us a lot of information about an environment, and they are often perceived as positive. Despite this, research about outdoor sounds most often focus on the reduction of unwanted sounds ? noise ? but the absence of noise does not result in a good soundscape. To accomplish this, sounds we appreciate are needed.

Bakgrund: Otillräckligt behandlad postoperativ smärta kan vara ett problem för patienten. Smärtupplevelsen är komplex, vilket gör att det kan vara svårt för sjuksköterskan att adekvat bedöma och registrera patientens smärta post-operativt. Sjuksköterskan måste i kontakten med patienten vara lyhörd, öppen och följsam. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att belysa hur sjuksköterskan uppmärksammar den vuxne patientens smärta postoperativt. Metod: En litteraturstudie med åtta artiklar har genomförts med deduktiv kvalitativ ansats.

The purpose of this Master thesis is to investigate issues concerning the role of the public librarian and their work with adult learners. This is done by examining Studiebibliotek Halland, a project initiated and financed by Kulturrådet, with the aim of improving for adult learners to use the public libraries in Halland. The major questions raised in this study are: How do the librarians interviewed experience their role as public librarian since the number of adult learners at the public library has increased? In what way do the librarians think they have to change their work in order to meet the demands of the adult learners? How do they feel about the change? Do they think their work will change more as a result of the project? Data was collected through interviews and the study is a qualitative study. The main results are that the librarians have a very positive attitude towards adult learners using the public library.

AbstractThis study deals with outdoor education together with Swedish language teaching. In my future profession as a teacher I want to be able to offer my pupils varied, discovering and exploring lessons focused on nature. The aim of this study is to throw light upon outdoor teaching, hoping that more people will discover nature as the right place to learn.In my study I have asked these questions:? What is outdoor education?? How can Swedish be taught out of doors?? Why is this method a good complement to the traditional teaching in the classroom?With these questions in wiev I made three qualitative interviews with teachers with different backgrounds. In addition I have planned, taught and evaluated the lesson that is the basis of the result.Outdoor education should be given increasing time in school and be used as a complement to the traditional teaching in the classroom.

Efter den rikspolitiska psykiatrireformen i mitten av 1990-talet uppstod runt om i Sverige rehabiliteringsverksamheter för psykiskt funktionshindrade människor. Att utveckla samverkan mellan olika myndigheter och andra organisationer kom då att anses som viktigt för att berörda personer inte skulle hamna "mellan stolarna". Inom Eskilstuna kommun uppstod bland annat en arbetslivsinriktad interorganisatorisk rehabiliteringsverksamhet kallad ArbetsDax, med professionella på operativ nivå som kallades samordnare.Syftet med framställningen har varit att utifrån olika materialtyper i sociologisk mening försöka bidra till begripliggörandet av verksamhetens diskursiva karaktär och samordnarens professionskaraktär. Det förstnämnda var intressant utifrån antagandet att den språkliga praktiken utgjorde något högst väsentligt inom verksamheten - särskilt med fokus på hur klienter, samordnare och samverkan framställdes. Det sistnämnda var intressant utifrån antagandet att ArbetsDax samordnare kunde bidra med något kvalitativt/kvantitativt annorlunda än professioner på de "rena" myndigheter, främst försäkringskassan och arbetsförmedlingen, som ArbetsDax samverkade med.Den diskursiva karaktären inom verksamheten framstod i analysen som ett komplext konsensusarbete.

The purpose of this C-essay within the subject of religion is to form a notion as to how the attitudes towards women and their position in a theoretical biblical society might have been perceived, based upon a select number of texts from the first five books of the Bible (the Pentateuch).Since this essay was written under the framework of the teacher education programme, it is also integrated with the pedagogy subject. This manifests itself with the didactic reflection at the end of this essay, where I try to relate the subject of this essay to the teaching profession.The material, which consists of excerpts from the first and second chapters of Genesis, and aselection of the laws in the first five books of the Bible (from Genesis to Deuteronomy), wasanalysed according to an ideological model, where themes and patterns have been more important than specific word choices.The analysis showed that the views on women vary depending on who writes and who interprets a specific text extract, and the conclusion was that since laws reflect the society it is likely that they were created to improve women's status to make it as equal to the man's as possible.The didactic reflection offers suggestions for lesson plans on the themes gender, feminism andfeministic theology..

We have ourselves met misunderstandings about the tasks of librarians. The general opinion is that librarians are positioned behind the charging desk or are putting books on shelves. Other tasks are invisible and unknown to the public. The aim for this study is to explore the tasks that a selection of Swedish librarians does. The questions we have answered are: what do the librarians themselves claim to work with, which competences are necessary for this job, what does our study show regarding the librarian as generalist or specialist and finally; can the tasks that we find in our study help to understand the conceptions profession and status in relation to librarians.

In an attempt to make social work evidence based, the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare, has recommended the use of standardized methods. As there are very few instruments that are defined as standardized, we decided to compile studies made with the "Family Climate self-rating scale", FCS, that is used by the profession, although not yet validated. We were looking for conformity in results and functionality in family treatment. FCS comprises a list of 85 adjectives to reflect different aspects of the emotional atmosphere in the family. It has been used since the late 80´s and there has been no attempt to compile results of using the instrument, until now.By searching in databases and libraries we found 20 Swedish studies using the instrument, which we compared to each other.

Äldre som bor på särskilt boende är beroende av att den personal som arbetar i verksamheten samverkar för att resurserna ska tas till vara på bästa sätt och därigenom tillförsäkra den boende skälig levnadsnivå. Syftet med studien var att, med fokus på ansvar och arbetsuppgifter, beskriva samverkan mellan områdeschef och sjuksköterska på ett särskilt boende. I studien användes en kvalitativ datainsamlingsmetod i form av intervjuer. Områdeschef är den som har budget- och personalansvar och ansvar för verksamheten, och sjuksköterskan har det medicinska ansvaret. Studien visar att upplevelsen av samverkan på det särskilda boendet är positivt.

The aim of the study is to elucidate how teachers in middle school work with reading literature aloud and their attitudes to their working methods. The research questions concern how the teachers work before, during and after the reading aloud, and also the advantages the teachers find in their method and the obstacles they discover in the work of reading aloud. A qualitative method was used for the study, applying semi-structured interviews. The selection consists of two teachers who have worked in the profession for 23?24 years (Teachers Andersson and Bergström) and two who have worked as teachers for 3?4 years (Teachers Cederqvist and Davidsson).
