Pneumonia is a common disease in calves. There are several causes behind the disease. The main purpose of this litterary study was to estimate what kind of nursing calves with pneumonia could benefit from, especially the evidence-based nursing recommendations for the sick calves. A further purpose was to gain knowledge of different treatments of sick calves and what kind of practical measurements that are most suitable to use in the preventive work. The results in this study shows that there are only suggestions of nursing, rather than some actual evidence-based actions. The most important nursing actions is to isolate the calves with dyspnea, prevent or treatment of hypothermia, potential dehydration and malnutrition. It is also important to make sure to place the calf on soft and dry bedding.

Integration policies have failed to make diversity into anything more than occupying the same physical space. People of different cultural background still do not share their lives to any real extent. Attempts made within planning and landscape architecture to catalyst the integration process have mainly been focused on structural measures, such as residential policies. As for outdoor environments, non-verbal casual encounters in the shape of crossing paths are assumed to lie at the heart of urban social integration.The aim of the thesis is to question this assumption and, as the thesis will show, there is literature supporting this aim. Looking at the works of Gordon Allport, Lewis Coser and some of their followers, I find intercultural contact to require more complex ways of interaction in order to reduce prejudice and to generate tolerance and understanding.

How do men who define themselves as feminists create and maintain an identity as men? In this qualitative study four men involved in feminist organizations were interviewed about their views on women, men, sex and feminism. Theories of language, psychoanalysis and ethics were utilized to further our understanding of the material these men produce in their effort to define themselves. Our object of study is the text, which we believe holds the key to understanding how an individual shapes his world and himself. The result is our interpretation of the text and its underlying mechanics.

Idag har personer med lindrig utvecklingsstörning helt andra förutsättningar att utveckla förmågor hos sig själva än vad tidigare generationer har haft. Många personer med lindrig utvecklingsstörning klarar av mycket självständigt men på grund av deras funktionshinder är de i olika grad beroende av hjälp och stöd för att klara sig i sin vardag. Det innebär att de behöver professionellt stöd från personal, något som kan vara uppskattat men samtidigt upplevas vara jobbigt och kontrollerande. Den här studien utgår från kvalitativ metod för att genom intervjuer med både brukare och personal studera hur de ser på stödet som ges på serviceboenden. Syftet med studien är således att få mer kunskap och ökad förståelse om hur personer med lindrig utvecklingsstörning ser på det stöd som personalen ger, samt hur personalen ser på sitt sätt att möta deras behov. Studien omfattar fyra brukarintervjuer och fem personalintervjuer. Resultatet visar på positiva sidor av stödet, där personalen ser en glädje i att ge stöd till brukarna.

This is a comparative study of the use of intranet in three organizations. The organizations are one help organization, one hospital and one business company. The intranet is a relatively new medium and it might still not have been accepted by all potential users, which is a waste of resources both for the individual employee and for the overall organization. It is therefore necessary to investigate if there are any differences between organizations concerning the needs of intranets. Our purpose with this study was to deepen the understanding of the use of intranets as a channel of organizational communication and thereby acknowledge the users´ needs and opinions of the intranet.

Investeringar som görs i humankapital kan ses som lönsamma då de kan bidra till konkurrensfördelar, högre resultat och bättre service. Detta kan ske via utbildningar, satsningar i företagshälsovård och arbetsmiljö för att stimulera och behålla personal.  Humankapitalinvesteringar ger utrymme för utvecklingsmöjligheter vilket hjälper företag att verka konkurrenskraftiga i en föränderlig miljö. Dock har det påvisats svårigheter i att mäta effekten av investeringarna. Genom uppföljning i form av undersökningar hos dess intressenter kan företagen få en bättre uppfattning kring investeringens effekt.

AbstractBakgrund & Problem:Bemanningsbranschens utveckling och etablering har ökat kraftigt de senaste decennierna då allt fler företag använder sig av inhyrd arbetskraft. Vi vet att bemanningsbranschen är en vanlig företeelse i dagens samhälle samt att branschen har goda förutsättningar då den växer kraftigt i Sverige. Vi anser därför att det är viktigt att veta varför organisationer hyr in personal istället för att rekrytera då vi anser att fenomenet bemanning och bemanningsföretag är väldigt aktuellt i dagsläget. Av dessa specifika anledningar väcktes vårt intresse för studiens ämne med förhoppningar om att komma fram till ett resultat som skiljer sig från presumerade antaganden.Syfte:Syftet med uppsatsen är att få en djupare förståelse kring varför företag väljer att hyra in extern personal istället för att rekrytera samt att belysa vilka fördelar och nackdelar det finns med att använda sig av extern personal. Vi vill även bidra med insikten i hur organisationer påverkas av den inhyrda personalen.

Title: Artistic methods for persons with dysfunctions.The idea to the paper was born in my work, as a pedagogue, with young persons with dysfunctions. My pedagogic method is eurhythmics but I wanted to examine in what other ways you could work with artistic expression in similar areas such as circus, dance therapy and psychodrama. These areas were chosen because they have components that are interrelated, which I find very interesting. Mind and body are considered from a holistic point of view. The purpose of this paper is to bring about a better understanding of how persons with dysfunctions respond to various artistic teaching methods.

The departure point of this thesis is the context of the institution and the processes surrounding the handling of personal archives at the National Library of Sweden. These processes are examined using Actor Network Theory. Around the personal archive a network is constructed and contained by actors ? the archive itself, the librarian, the conservator, the researcher, organizational structures and others. Within this network choices are made of what is significant.

Medarbetarnas kompetens och skicklighet är direkt kopplat till en verksamhets lönsamhet och effektivitet. Skånska kommuner står de närmaste åren inför en ekonomisk kris, vilket bland annat troligen kommer att medföra uppsägning av personal. Denna studies syfte är att undersöka om skånska personalchefer, inom kommunal verksamhet, upplever att turordningsreglerna i Lagen (1982:80) om anställningsskydd (LAS) påverkar deras möjlighet att tillvarata personal med kompetens och skicklighet vid uppsägningar och i så fall hur. Vi har intervjuat fem personalchefer (eller motsvarande befattning) i fem olika kommuner om hur deras respektive kommuner arbetar med kompetensförsörjning och hur deras inställning är till 22§ LAS. Resultatet visar att 22§ LAS, till viss del, upplevs begränsa kommunernas möjligheter att tillvarata personal med kompetens och skicklighet vid uppsägningar. Möjligheterna att tillvarata kompetens och skicklighet ansågs begränsas ytterligare av de fackliga organisationernas ovilja till att upprätta avtalsturlistor.
