Burn out is common among people who work with other people and occurs in both ecclesiastical and non ecclesiastical context. In recent years, the phenomenon has attracted increasing attention in the Church of Sweden and among persons who hold a consecration service as priests.The purpose of this essay is to study the text material from the two authors (Lennart Belfrage 2009 and Martin Petré 2013) and to analyze and describe them. Another goal is to see how the coping theory may be helpful for this group of priests to handle the situation arising in the time of burnout.I have used the qualitative research and hermeneutics method for categorize and encode the material in order to interpret and understand the underlying causes that could explain burnout among priests in the Church of SwedenPargaments (1997) coping theory has been important for analysis and explanation of burnout among a group of priests in the Church of Sweden.In the result, I have found four components that may be useful in the understanding of the cause of burnout. The analysis shows that Pargaments (1997) coping theory is useful to manage complex situations for example burnout, among priests in the Church of Sweden..

Idag är samhället väldigt miljöinriktat och allt fler människor uppskattar ett utbud av hållbara resurser för en hållbar utveckling. Många företag tillämpar detta i sitt varumärkesbyggande jämsides med andra strategier och faktorer för att uppnå ett starkare varumärke.Vi har valt att avgränsa oss till elbolaget Telge Energi som befinner sig konkurrenspräglad bransch för att undersöka hur de byggt upp sitt varumärke. Ett av till att vi valt Telge Energi är på grund av att företaget gått ut med att de har blivit utsedda Sveriges grönaste elbolag.1Förutom att vi har god access till företaget är ytterligare ett att de även säger sig erbjuda förnyelsebar el och utmanar därmed de större konkurrenterna inom den svenska elbranschen.Med utgångspunkt i att få ökad förståelse för Telge Energis varumärkesbyggande har som mål att belysa viktiga faktorer och strategier som företaget tillämpat och som företag kan inspireras av. Dessa faktorer och strategier som vi har fastställt ur studien även försökt illustrera i en egen modell. Dessutom har vi även tagit fasta på brister i Energis varumärkesbyggande i relation till vår valda teoretiska referensram, som kan vara hjälp och användning för företaget i framtiden.Den teoretiska referensramen är främst baserad på David A.

Enligt Räddningsverkets statistik har 85 % av de svenska hushållen en fungerande brandvarnare. Hur väl fungerande dessa är efter en tid i jämförelse med nya brandvarnare är dock okänt. Därför genomfördes denna undersökning där 20 stycken brandvarnare samlades ihop från hushåll i Luleå och Boden. Dessa 20 varnare blev sedan jämförda med 12 stycken helt nya varnare. Samtliga prövades på en hastigt uppflammande brand för att simulera ett brandscenario som kan inträffa i många av de lättantändliga material som finns i de moderna hemmen.

This essay takes the three models from Allison and Zelikow book Essence of decision and applies them on the Swedish defense system. After the cold war the Swedish defense system had to undergo changes to be a more modern defense and be able to defend Sweden against threats. To also be able to cooperate with other countries in peacekeeping operations the Swedish defense had to be reorganized. The solution was to change direction from a defense system that was organized for invasion to instead be a movable defense ready for any challenge in Sweden or abroad. This reorganization will be analyzed according to the three different models..

This paper is an assessment of whether the Nordic countries constitute an optimum currency area (OCA) or not. Hodrick Prescott-­?filtered data of real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and rate of employment are used to investigate the similarity of business cycles between the target countries through a series of correlation analysis with Sweden as the base reference country and also by using a linear regression model. Additionally there is an evaluation of trade volume and labour mobility between the countries. Our results indicate that Iceland had the least similar business cycles within the Nordic countries and that the area should therefore possibly comprise Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. .

The aim of this paper is to see if Sweden has implemented the recommendations and taken notice of the guidelines for employment that the Commission and Council set up every year and from this see the role of the Commission and Council for the national employment politics. The years that I focused on in the paper are year 2000- 2004. The method that is used is a case study research that is exploratory and explanatory. The theoretical starting points are theories about delegation, cooperation and a variation of control and autonomy. This is recognized in the Principal- Agent theory and the Principal- Supervisor-Agent model.

I den här studien undersöks genom semistrukturerade intervjuer hur elitidrottsföreningar bygger upp sitt varumärkeskapital inom den professionella idrotten. Sex stycken marknadsansvariga inom idrottsföreningarna som är verksamma inom respektive förening har intervjuats för att få reda på deras syn på byggnationen av ett varumärkeskapital inom den nämnda kontexten. Anledningen till detta var för att på bästa sätt kunna ta del av kunskap erfarenhet och information som dessa respondenter sitter på. Så som många författare fastslår som jag påvisar i min inledning som Uggla, (2002) Lagergren, (1998), Aaker, (1996) så blir vikten av varumärket allt viktigare för organisationer i dagens samhälle. För att nå ett bra resultat och samtidigt följa med i marknadens utveckling och hävda sig mot sina konkurrenter blir det allt mer diskussion kring varumärkesfrågor inom organisationer. Resultaten av denna studie påvisar hur ett varumärkeskapital skapas för elitidrottsföreningar genom en intern process och påverkan.

The essay presents a qualitative study, which intends to investigate how the identityconstruction of the second generation of young people with Kurdish origin has been formedconsidering the complexity of living between two or more different cultures as well theinfluence of family norms and values. The theoretical basis lies inthe identity construction and ethnic identity in which we have tried toexpress and illustrate this complexity. Previous research we have assumed includes affiliation,and a third identity, where we have used a number of researchers studies to elucidatethis topic. In order to facilitate the study, ten in-depth interviews with Kurdish youths aged18-25 years have been applied. The common factor for these respondents is that they all cameto Sweden at a young age.

With 25 countries being members of the European Union, travelling and working in other countries has become significantly easier. But what happens when one culture meets another one in a work situation? More specifically, what happens when French and Swedish cultures meet? Would a Swedish manager lead his team in the same way as a French one would?My question is: What is management philosophy like in Sweden and France? Do the two philosophies resemble? And if not, in what ways do they differ?The purpose of this essay is to find out, by looking at the material used at management courses, what the Swedish management philosophy really is. And then look at whether there are any similarities between this philosophy and the French one. The idea is to examine how management is being taught in both countries, by looking at what management litterature is used at some of the highest ranked management schools in Sweden and France.There have been numerous ethnological studies concerning nationality and cultural behaviour, one of the most important ones is the study done by Hofstede.
