Cases of mistakes are reported more than ever to the national committee responsible for health care. Many of the mistakes, where the nurses are involved are due to the nurses? stress.The aim of this study was to gather information to describe causes of stress in nursing care and the nurses? experience of stress influence on health care.The method that was chosen for this study was a literature review where scientific, critically reviewed articles were analyzed.  The analysis resulted in two main themes.

This essay?s focus lies on the collaboration that takes place in hospitals and called a care-plan (vårdplanering) between the two organisations: Health-care (landsting) and social-care (kommun). According to the Swedish-law are these organizations responsible for the care of elderly individuals in Sweden. The aim of this essay has been to study closely this collaboration in order to see which partner has the most influencing power.This essay is of a qualitative character, which means that the results that are presented are based on six individual interviews with employees from the two organizations. The employees chosen for this essay all have job experiences from the collaboration that takes place during care-plans in hospitals.One of the main results of this essay has been that the two organizations are not equal collaboration-partners.

This study is based on interviews with heads of unit, care staff and senior representatives from a total of six people. We have in this study directed our focus on care quality in the elderly as a concept in development. It appears, when the elderly do not have any dependents, it is even more important that staff supports some extra where no relatives are involved.Quality of life is the broader concept of good quality care and where a good quality of care is a necessary condition for a good quality of life. According to the social services care is the target that older people will live a good life and be allowed to live in a safe environment, which we intend to investigate in this study. Opportunity for greater influence should now be given to older people and their families on how interventions should be designed and implemented.

The paper aims to examine how the wives of men with dementia experience their lives and how they perceive support from the society. The paper also aims to highlight the family care consultants´ work and views on support for families of people with dementia.Three spouses of people with dementia and three family care consultants were interviewed and the results were analyzed using Antonovsky's (1991) three theoretical concepts; comprehensibility, manageability and meaningfulness that comes from his theory Sense of coherence.The results show that the three wives whose men suffered from dementia spend most of their time, effort and energy on their husbands. They do not have time to think about their own needs and what support they feel they could use for themselves. They do not think about themselves as caregivers, they are spouses.Family care consultants are well aware of the importance of meeting and see the relatives in their lives, and denounces the importance of a support designed individually. Family care consultants understand that the most important and the best support society can provide a family care giver is that their close ones are well taken care of and given good care..

 Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur radikaliseringen under 1960-talet påverkade ämnesvalen, i trebetygsuppsatser, för studenterna vid Historiska institutionen vid Uppsala universitet. Syftet ska uppfyllas genom att undersöka ämnesvalen för och genomförandet av trebetygsuppsatser vid Historiska institutionen vi Uppsala universitet. Metoden som används är tredelad, dels undersöks materialet utifrån en komparativ metod som används för att jämföra resultatet mellan åren 1965-1974. Dels tolkas texten med viss inspiration från det hermeneutiska perspektivet för att på så sätt avgöra om studenterna som skrivit uppsatsen varit påverkad av radikaliseringen i sitt ämnesval. Dessutom har hela undersökningen ett källkritiskt perspektiv för att medvetengöra om problemen med att tolka andra individers influenser och orsaker till att skriva om det de gör.

My purpose is to describe and analyse how care managers experience their position as middle managers in the public sector. I have used a qualitative interview method to answer this question and also to capture my six interview persons opinion and understanding of their own position as middle managers. From my six interviews I noticed some difference in their opinions about how it is being a care manger. The results show that the role as care managers have challenges such as to intertwine their own notion how the caring of the elder should be with strict politic decisions. Other challenges are the limitation of economic recourses and reorganisations.

This study is based on interviews with four managers in public elderly care and four managers in private elderly care.

Leadership and conflict management are theories that have been used in order to analyze the empirical findings. Previous research that has been used in the study concerns ?leadership/leadership styles?, ?conflict management?, ?to be active in the private/public elderly care?.

This study is about the artist Monica Sjoo?s (1938-2005) painting God giving birth (1968) that was accused of being blasphemous and obscene in the early 1970s. God giving birth could have had much in common with Niki de Saint-Phalle?s She ? a cathedral (1966), both works suggesting a mother goddess image. The main difference however can be found in the fact that Monica Sjoo?s painting had connection to the women?s movement in the 1970s.

Uppsatsen undersöker arbetsmiljön på järnverket i Luleå sett ur företagstidningarna Vårt NJA och Luleå Bulletinens synvinklar. Syftet med uppsatsen är att studera synen på och agerandet i arbetsmiljöfrågor vid järnverket i Luleå under perioden 1968-1981. Studien utgår ifrån ett mindre antal frågeställningar som jag besvarar i en slutdiskussion. Något kortfattat lyder dessa: i vilken omfattning arbetsmiljöfrågor behandlas och på vilket sätt dessa behandlas, ser man någon skillnad i syn och agerande i arbetsmiljöfrågor under undersökningsperioden och kan dessa kopplas till 1978-års arbetsmiljölag. Sett utifrån aspekten att undersökningsperioden sträcker sig över tretton år är det inte särskilt många artiklar som behandlar arbetsmiljön.
