Syftet med denna studie är att synliggöra några lärares uppfattningar kring etik och moral samt hur läraren förmedlar etik och moral till sina elever. Därtill beskrivs några faktorer som dessa lärare uppfattar har betydelse för förmedlingen av etik och moral i skolan.Litteraturdelen består av källor från tidigare forskning, teoriböcker i ämnet samt statliga utgåvor kring skolans samhällsuppdrag. Den empiriska undersökningen bygger på en kvalitativ studie med utgångspunkt i den fenomenografiska ansatsen. Intervjuer från nio stycken lärare på grundskolans olika stadier har blivit underlag för studiens resultat. Studiens resultat visar att lärarens samhällsuppgift som värdegrundsförmedlare är både svår och komplex.

Bakgrund: All sjukvård som bedrivs i Sverige är frivillig, även den psykiatriska vården. Dock kan vården ibland ske med tvångslagar mot patienters vilja. När sjuksköterskan begränsar en patients autonomi i form av tvångsåtgärder kan det bidra till att sjuksköterskan upplever det etiskt jobbigt även om syftet är att göra gott för patienten. Syfte: Syftet med litteraturstudien var att belysa sjuksköterskors upplevelser av att utföra tvingande åtgärder mot patienter med psykossjukdom inom psykiatrisk slutenvård, ur ett etiskt perspektiv. Metod: En litteraturstudie med tio kvalitativa artiklar bearbetades och analyserades av författarna.

In this study we have investigated how local journalists in Kalmar think when they choose their sources to interview. We have also studied several factors that can affect their choices of sources.We have interviewed eight news journalists from the two largest local news papers Barometern and Östran in Kalmar.The journalists were asked about the sources they often use as interview objects. They were supposed to tell about how they think when choosing sources and define which sources they commonly use. There are different factors that can affect the choices and we have narrowed them down to ethics, source critics, credibility, stress, hard production conditions, public and their own interest and if they consider themselves to be individualistic or controlled by the news desks. Furthermore the journalists were asked to characterize what changes they would make when choosing sources in a perfect world.All of the journalists had not reflected prominently on the subject of sources before our research.

According to the national curriculum guidelines for elementary school, preschool and after-school 2011, (i.e. Lgr11), the Swedish school is based on a democratic foundation. Schools should prepare students to develop an understanding and acceptance of cultural diversity not only in the society as a whole but also how this should be reflected in the morals and ethics between us. The purpose of this study was to describe how teachers in multicultural schools perceptions and experiences on teaching pupils with diverse immigrant origin, and how they apply these cultural expression in practice.In particular, I focus on four teachers in multicultural schools and how they reason about applying cultural expressions that are transmitted at these schools and by them. Explicitly, I review how from policy documents and their own personal pedagogic are reflected in the actual teaching.

The health care formulation of the principle of autonomy can be expressed as follows; ?you shall not treat a patient without the informed consent of the patient, or his or her lawfulsurrogate, except in narrowly defined emergencies?. The principle of beneficence refers to a moral obligation to act for the benefit of others. In heath care, the good or benefit in question is the restoration of the health of the patient. In fulfilling this obligation of beneficence, the physician sometimes intentionally overrides the patient?s preferences or actions for the purpose of benefiting the patient.

The main purpose of this paper is to examine how the regulatory environment of ?equality plans" are implemented at the municipal level of decision making in the school environment - in terms of both local politicians, school structures and management by teachers.The paper will present how the implementation theory works in practice by examining two high schools in the Municipality of Norrkoping and see what differences exist in the implementation process of "equality plans" in schools with a variety of high and relatively low immigrant background among students.We will present how it seems from different perspectives. Are teachers today controlled by public professional ethics or personal reasons, where those street level bureaucrats mainly act on feeling depending on the case? And how might this affect the law? Do they in fact understand, or have the knowledge and the willingness to implement?In our study, we are using a comparative case study method with an interview guide. A comparison between the two school´s equality plan have been analyzed where we have developed key differences and similarities that we recognized regarding the subject.The results of the study demonstrate that the context is very crucial to addressing these issues.

Varje år genomför cirka 1100 personer i Sverige ett suicid. Varje suicid föregås av i genomsnitt 10 suicidförsök. Detta orsakar förutom kostnader i form av oerhörda summor pengar för samhället också otroligt mycket lidande för anhöriga. Ambulanssjuksköterskan är många gånger den första resursen i vårdkedjan som den suicidnära kommer i kontakt med. Detta ställer stora krav på bemötandet av patienten men också krav på kunskap om medicinska åtgärder för att rädda personen till livet.

Problem - Det är ingen nyhet att människor idag överkonsumerar och att jordens resursersakta börjar tyna bort. Klädindustrin är ständigt i debatt om mänskliga rättigheter angåendeproduktionen. Barnarbete, långa arbetstider och farliga arbetsplatser är exempel på vad somdiskuteras. Fler och fler företag har dock börjat ta sitt ansvar i fråga om etik och miljö och detses idag som en självklarhet bland konsumenter. Problemet är dock att konsumenterna intevärdesätter de här initiativen utan de lägger större vikt kring pris och trend.

Debate over Intellectual Property Rights ?IPRs? particularly patent and copyrights is mainly on forward-looking industries in computer software. As part of a trade deal reached in 1994, the member nations of the World Trade Organisation must adhere to a global agreement known as TRIPS, for the Trade- Related Aspect of Intellectual Property Rights.This study is to analyse the ethical conception of Intellectual Property Rights and in particular its implications on the developing countries in relation to TRIPS. The approach will be to analyse a broad philosophical theories of property to see if there is any justification for a software program to be treated as private property and also argue base on John Rawls two principles of justice in relation to TRIPS Agreement. Some reflections will be put on the use of open-source software by less developing countries.From the study it was asserted that, strong IPRs protection would hinder technological transfer and indigenous learning activities in the early stage of industrialisation when learning takes place through reverse engineering.
