Bakgrund: När individer från olika kulturer möts och arbetar tillsammans uppstår det ofta missförstånd och konflikter. Ett sätt att uppnå förståelse för hur nationell kultur påverkar ett företag, är att studera ett team. Ledaren är mycket viktig för teamet och i ett mångkulturellt team kan hans arbete bli komplicerat pga. olika värderingar etc. som finns i olika kulturer.

AimThe aim with this essay has been to investigate how preschools profiling in motor activity training, work to stimulate motor development of children. In order to study this, the main focus for the research has been on the following queries:What characterize motor activity training at the preschools studied?What is the purpose with the motor activity training of preschools which were studied?How do the preschools describe the affect that motor activity training has on children?How do the preschools look at the need for motor activity training?MethodFour in-depth interviews were conducted with representatives of the chosen preschools profiling in motor activity.

Teamarbete och kommunikation är en utmaning för anestesisjuksköterskan. Vid akuta tillstånd omhändertas patienten enligt ABCDE som är hämtat från konceptet Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) som är standard på skadeplatser och akutmottagningar i Sverige. Luftväg, andning och cirkulation utgör en del av anestesisjuksköterskans spetskompetens och anestesisjuksköterskan ska kunna medverka vid olyckor och i vården av svårt skadade personer. Forskning har visat att patienter kan dö till följd av dålig kommunikation mellan vårdarna. I kompetensbeskrivningen för anestesisjuksköterskor och under området säkerhet och vårdmiljö beskrivs vikten av tydlig kommunikation i förhållande till vårdteamet.

Aim and research questionsThe over-all aim of this study was to gain insight info how two male coaches of a specific soccer team behave in a practice environment with regards to educating the players.More specifically, the study sought to map the extent to which said behaviour matched two specific methods of learning; these being Teaching Games for Understanding (TgfU) and Enhanced Guided Discovery (EGD). Research questions: (1) Do the coaches employ the methods and guidelines, which are outlined in the educational plan provided by the soccer association? If so, what form does this application take in practice? (2) To what extent and in what ways do the coaches utilize feedback and questioning techniques in the education of players? (3) What similarities and differences in behaviour can be identified between the chosen soccer team?s two coaches?Method: The data for the study was collected through field observation. The subjects were two youth elite soccer coaches and observation of these coaches took place during five regular practice sessions on the soccer field. All data gathering and analysis were carried out using a modified version of the Coach Analysis and Intervention System (CAIS).

Att arbeta i team är något som blivit allt vanligare på senare tid. Många organisationer har övergivit den traditionella hierarkiska organisationsstrukturen och övergått till att införa en teambaserad organisationsform. Att arbeta i team innebär att teammedlemmarna tillsammans, genom nära och intensivt samarbete, kan utveckla idéer och fatta beslut som inte är möjligt individuellt för var och en av dem. Detta ställer krav på att organisationskultur, interna organisationssystem och ledarskap utvecklas och att de stödjer den nya strukturen. Vårt syfte med denna litteraturstudie är att beskriva ledarskapet av självstyrande team med utgångspunkt i litteraturen.

AbstractThe purpose of this essay was to determent if the authors? idea to replace a personal trainer with a training program, which is provided by software, is viable and if there is a market for such a product. The method that was used, included eight people who enrolled in a training program which were designed by the authors in Microsoft excel. The programs were based on principals of periodization, and included the phases: anatomic adaptation, hypertrophy, maximum strength and muscle definition. The training program was personal and based on individual goal setting.

Together with Hälsoteknikalliansen the project team recognized the need to improve availability in the staircase environments. This is a difficult environment, especially for our elderly. The staircase leading to and from apartments is such a major obstacle that many people do not dare to go into the staircase leading to their front door. The market study that the project team conducted showed that many were in need of a living support, often a relative, who helped and supported them when they went into these stairs. It also appeared that these people manage everyday life just fine, but they suffer the problems that stairs to and from their apartment causes.

This study examinates technology's traumatic impact on the male subject in The Atrocity Exhibition by J.G. Ballard. In my analysis I show how the protagonist uses a fetischistic strategy in order to make sense of the trauma that technology embeds. Paradoxically it proves to be the agent of his trauma, but also functions as his shield. The machine is thus in a position of the hinge, the point in a structural system that both enables and deconstruct the system.

Earlier research has shown that generational differences between younger-supervisors and older-workers may cause tensions that lead to team ineffectiveness. There is however still a lack of research in this area. This thesis presents possible tensions that might occur between a younger supervisor and an older worker due to their age and generational affiliation, and how these tensions affect the team dynamics. The empirical data collection was limited to the boundaries of the dental care industry where these generational/age differences between younger supervisor and older worker are common. The thesis looks at the tensions from a qualitative perspective and data was collected in the form of in-depth interviews with selected dentists and nurses.

Feedback is a tool that can be used to give students the confirmation of their accomplishments , helping them to increase understanding of the results of a performance and to alert students if change is required for future performance. Other studies and reports regarding clinical practice in education has shown that students feel that feedback has good impact on learning and positive effects such as enhanced self-confidence. Onboard training forms a major part of the education at the four-year nautical science education in Kalmar, in four years, one year is spent on board ships. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to find out how students at the four-year nautical science program in Kalmar felt that they receive feedback after completing on board training and how they wish that such feedback would be given. Six students were interviewed, three from grade one and three from grade three.

Qualitative data collection methods such as interviews and observations have been used in this study.

Livet efter en traumatisk händelse, tillsammans med det medföljande lidandet, kan ge upphov till ett förändrat perspektiv, både på sin identitet och på den levda världen. Vikten av att ha förståelse om vad detta innebär för den traumatiserade beskrivs med grund i patientens behov av att vårdas utifrån ett holistiskt patientperspektiv. Uppsatsen riktar sig till alla yrkesroller inom vården då traumatiserade människor kan förekomma i olika vårdkontexter. För att uppnå syftet att belysa livet efter en traumatisk händelse har metoden baserats på en analys av artiklar med inriktning på hur livet upplevs efter ett trauma. För att tolka det analytiska materialet har författarna inspirerats av ett hermeneutiskt perspektiv med utgång i livsvärldsperspektivet.

The Swedish Armed Force has a need to streamline the preparation of an exercise in tactical training for soldiers because the preparation of an exercise is currently laborious and time consuming when commanders manually share files to each computer that will be included in the exercise. The degree project was to create a file sharing program within the internal network of the Defence Forces? international centre (Swedint). The program is used by the training management to effectively start up an exercise where soldiers train tactical training in a simulated combat environment. The training management use this program to upload files to a server which notifies all the computers on the network to download these files.

During sleep the majority of the body?s production of anabolic hormones is produced and sleep is a general anabolic state of being. It has been to our recognition that a powernap is 4-6 times more effective when it comes to sleep intensity than the last 1-2 hours of a traditional eight hour sleep. With this in mind, and that elite athletes worldwide often sleeps in between their training sessions. This study has tried to prove a hypothesis which comes from the assumption that you can recover and perform better during times with intensive periods with better distribution of your sleep.We have in this study let three test subjects take part of a six week long program with two different training periods for legs.
