Prevalensen för kronisk smärta har ökat i Sverige de senaste fem åren. Merparten av problemen har muskuloskeletala orsaker. Patienter med långvarig smärta har svårt att få adekvat behandling och att leva med smärta är belastande psykiskt varför det är viktigt att se till både det fysiska och det psykiska. Omhändertagande av ett multidiciplinärt team innebär att hela människan ses. Syftet med studien var att beskriva smärtpatienters upplevelser av sin smärthantering i efterskedet av en smärtrehabilitering där ett kognitivt förhållningssätt tillämpats.

Product development cycles become shorter and shorter. The time from idea to market has become an important competitive factor.

The objective of this study is to research the stately weapon use in three of the UK's trading partners, and how it could affect the EU development policies.

My purpose with this paper related to my questions was to find out how professionals preeschool teachers working on multilingualism. I also wanted to get answers on how pedagogues in the preeschool may promote multilingual children´s language development, the factors that promote multilingual children´s language development and the role parents have in the language development of multilingual children. I chose to do my study in the form of interviews with professional preeschool teachers and interviewees described including the need for more knowledge of pedagogues around multilingualism. My result based on theoretichal background and the study is that pedagogues should let the children´s all languages esemble together. A factor influencing the multilingual children´s language development is ambient attitudes to multilingualism.

This thesis presents my work at the company Fatshark AB in Stockholm. My supervisor Rikard Blomberg, who works as a chief technology officer at Fatshark and is one of the owners of the company, explained that they had experienced weaknesses in the methodology used when developing heads up displays (HUD) for their games. In the latest production, Lead  and Gold, the HUD had been redesigned a number of times, becoming an unnecessarily big expense due to the number of work hours invested. In modern software development, an iterative workflow is commonly encouraged. Despite this fact, the work efficiency could likely be increased by setting up guidelines as a help in the process of developing HUDs and reviewing the solutions.

Ny teknik har både möjliggjort att videoreportrar som yrkesgrupp finns, men också för nya typer av innehåll och berättande (Nygren 2013, Jönsson & Strömbäck 2007). Videoreportern nämns ofta i studier som tar upp ny journalistik i den digitala världen, men har inte varit i fokus i någon större undersökning.Syftet i denna studie är att ta fram och klargöra vad för slags nyhetsinslag en videoreporter producerar, samt hur formen av videoreporters inslag skiljer sig från andra teams inslag (exempelvis team som består av en reporter och en fotograf/redigerare). Utifrån detta har en kvantitativ innehållsanalys gjorts som har besvarat hur vanligt det är att videoreportern producerar inslag, hur könsfördelningen inom arbetsrollen videoreporter ser ut, samt hur innehåll och form skiljer sig i inslag producerat av en videoreporter jämfört med övriga team.Då videoreportern är vanligast inom lokala nyhetssändningar har de analysenheter som valts ut varit: SVT Sydnytt, SVT Gävleborg, TV4 Jönköping och TV4 Stockholm. Enheterna representerar endast lokala nyhetssändningar och både storstad och större tätort. Resultatet visar på att videoreportrar är den näst vanligaste arbetsrollen. Videoreportern producerar 13 % av alla inslag som sänds i de lokala nyhetssändningarna.

The essay on ?The revival of the countryside ? a multitalent in landproduction.? focuses on local and regional development within agriculture, foodprocessing and tourism.Due to great changes in society, the inhabitants in rural areas are forced to find alternative occupations. Using history as a tool to build up the future is a main factor in rural development. Apart from this it involves cooperation, resources, cultural heritage and values, entrepreneurship and innovation, economic vitality, and an understanding of markets and marketing. They all contribute to a region`s ability to benefit from rural development..

Det finns idag få och i framtiden kanske ännu färre uppgifter som är av sådan karaktär att endast en person bäst löser dem. Det krävs som regel något slags samarbete, ofta i form av arbete i grupp eller arbetslag. I denna rapport har jag undersökt hur teamarbete uppfattas på arbetsplatsen, samt vilka förväntningar medarbetarna har över teamet och om dessa har uppfyllts. För att ta reda på min frågeställning har använt mig av en kvalitativ metod eftersom jag vill undersöka individers personliga förväntningar och uppfattningar om begreppet team. En fallstudie på tre olika företag har genomförts i form av intervjuer med produktionschef och teammedarbetare på respektive företag.

Today?s Sweden becomes more and more multicultural, with a mixture of many different languages. Many children are raised to learn two or more parent languages. If you work as an educationalist in preschool you will probably come in contact with these children. The question is how you should treat them and ease their development of languages.The purpose with this work is to find answers to the question if bilingual children develop their languages by the same method as monolingual and how one as an educationalist can make these children?s development of language easier.The papers preface is a part of literature that describes different researchers view on the bilingual children?s development of language and how one, as an educationalist, can ease it.To my study I have chosen to interview three educationalists in preschool who all work with bilingual children.

The concept of sustainable development is a challenge that demands cooperation from all levels of society for it to be successful. The focus for this thesis is how politicians within the local councils understand the concept of sustainable development and how they implement it in political decision-making.The basis for the study is a questionnaire that was distributed to 303 local politicians in three municipalities of varying size in Southern Sweden. The study concentrates on departments within the local councils that are directly connected to the Swedish environmental law and the Swedish planning and construction law. One of the primary goals with the aforementioned laws is the achievement of sustainable development within one generation.The outcome of the study was that over half of the local politicians could correctly define sustainable development according to the World Commission on Environment and Development?s (WCED) definition.

The concept of leadership development plays an important role within the modern organization. As a result of the increasing interest in developing leadership competencies, investments in leadership development programs are becoming a common part of business strategies. However, the return on those investments is seldom evaluated. The reason for this is considered to be the complexity created by the many factors that influence leadership but have no relation to the program. This is a case study based on interviews with participants from a one-year leadership development program that was carried out at AB Previa.

The aim of this study was to gain insight into how two enterprises work with competence development and thereby study how the relationship between competence development and workers, employees, look like. The focus was on the workers motives and motivation towards a participation in a competence development course, their attitude to education, and how the transfer of skills gained from the course, into the workplace looks like.

The managers? motive for decisions about education was to change the prevailing attitude among the staff for the better and thereby strengthen the company?s brand. The work situation has encouraged the desire to participate in developmental education as the feeling of control has encouraged the workers to further development.

If one looks at physical planning in Sweden today one can see that while talking about densification of existing development, reduced emissions and careful use of important land, urban sprawl is a fact with development of sheer residential districts in the urban edges and shopping malls in each and every municipality. As sustainable development is an essential goal for physical planning to strive towards, it is worth questioning if the direction of today?s planning will lead to the goal. A sustainable development can be seen as an obvious to goal aim at. In reality the aim means a hard and complex work.
