Det övergripande syftet med denna studie var att undersöka skillnader mellan den traditionella och hybrida arbetsmodellen med avseende på deras påverkan på arbetslivsbalans och psykiskt välbefinnande hos kommunala kontorsarbetare. Studien hade en kvantitativ karaktär, där en webbaserad enkät genomfördes och genererade totalt (N=132) deltagare, varav (N=22) arbetadeenligt den traditionella arbetsmodellen och (N=110) enligt den hybrida arbetsmodellen. Deltagarna i studien rekryterades genom ett bekvämlighetsurval. Vid analys av insamlad data användes Mann-Whitney U-test. Resultatet visade att det inte finns någon statistiskt signifikant skillnad mellan arbetsmodellerna gällande arbetslivsbalans och psykiskt välbefinnande. Resultatet diskuteras i diskussionen.

Digitization in society is increasing and has meant that school curricula now include paragraphs ondigital competence. How this is implemented in the classrooms varies, which has consequences forlearning. The purpose of this essay is to, through a research overview, investigate the effects of ITsolutions in school. Based on the socio-cultural perspective and the concepts of habitus and capital,these effects are analyzed. The result shows that a well-thought-out pedagogy is required for thepositive effects of the digital aids to become apparent. Furthermore, low-achieving students tend tobe more susceptible to the negative effects that IT solutions bring. Whether digital aids in schoolconstitute an obstacle or an asset for learning depends on how they are implemented.

When it comes to learning and teaching, the students' understanding of what they are expected tolearn is vital. Therefore, the students should be aware of what the goal of the education is. However,many teachers find the phrasings in the knowledge requirements to be ambiguous, and studies showthat the students' understanding of the knowledge requirements is questionable. This study aims toexamine students' understanding of the knowledge requirements for the social studies subject andwhat affects it. The study is conducted through a survey in which the results showed that thestudent's were able to give concrete form to the knowledge requirements and therefore also interpretwhat is expected of them. However, the students' interpretation of the knowledge requirements hasto coincide with the teacher's interpretation to be "correct". The study has not been able to establishwhat affects the understanding of the knowledge requirements.

Depression drabbar 322 miljoner människor världen över och påverkar både individen och personer i dess omgivning. Behandlingen av depression varierar och kan vara farmakologisk och icke farmakologisk. I vissa delar av världen är det mer accepterat att behandla depression med komplementär och alternativ medicin. Kunskapen av effekten av icke farmakologiska behandlingar är bristfällig i Sverige. Syftet med studien var att sammanställa kunskap om icke farmakologiska behandlingar vid depression. Detta för att kunna förbättra livskvaliteten för personer som lider av depression. Studien genomfördes som en systematisk litteraturöversikt, där aktuell forskning söktes fram via två databaser och som analyserades med en manifest innehållsanalys. Resultatet visar att effekten av icke farmakologisk behandling var minskad depression, ångest, ökad självkänsla och livskvalitet. Slutsatsen som kan dras är att sjuksköterskor behöver vara mer öppna för alternativa behandlingsmetoder vid depression och effekten av vad vila, beröring, och fysisk aktivitet har för patienten men även vikten av att samverka med andra yrkesprofessioner för att tillgodose människors grundläggande behov. En ökad acceptans inom området kan leda till mer forskning och därefter tillämpning i vården.

Studded tyres made of tungsten carbide cobalt (WC-Co) are in the Northern countries commonly used during the winter time. Tungsten (W)-containing nano- and micron-sized particles have been detected close to busy roads in several European countries. Other typical traffic wear particles consist of copper (Cu). The aims of this study were to investigate particle stability and transformation/dissolution properties of nanoparticles (NPs) of WC-Co compared with NPs of tungsten carbide (WC), cobalt (Co), and Cu. Their physicochemical characteristics (primarily surface oxide and charge) are compared with their extent of sedimentation and metal release in synthetic surface water (SW) with and without two different model organic molecules, 2,3- and 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHBA) mimicking certain sorption sites of humic substances, for time periods up to 22 days. The WC-Co NPs possessed a higher electrochemical and chemical reactivity in SW with and without DHBA molecules as compared with NPs of WC, Co, and Cu. Co was completely released from the WC-Co NPs within a few hours of exposure, although it remained adsorbed/bonded to the particle surface and enabled the adsorption of negatively charged DHBA molecules, in contrast with the WC NPs (no adsorption of DHBA). The DHBA molecules were found to rapidly adsorb on the Co and Cu NPs. The sedimentation of the WC and WC-Co NPs was not influenced by the presence of the 2,3- or 3,4-DHBA molecules. A slight influence (slower sedimentation) was observed for the Co NPs, and a strong influence (slower sedimentation) was observed for the Cu NPs in SW with 2,3-DHBA compared with SW alone. The extent of metal release increased in the order: WC < Cu < Co < WC-Co NPs. All NPs released more than 1 wt-% of their metal total mass. The release from the Cu NPs was most influenced by the presence of DHBA molecules., QC 20170607
