Stress och psykosomatiska besvär har under de senaste åren varit ett växande hälsoproblem i samhället, där barn och unga självrapporterat att de mår sämre. Skolan är en arena där barn och unga befinner sig till stor del av sin vakna tid, vilket avser vikten till att förebygga den ökade stressnivån bland elever. Studier och rapporter visar att stress och psykosomatiska besvär har ökat inom skolan där eleverna möts av höga krav och prestationer. Om elever möter stressiga situationer som de kan hantera kan det öka deras prestationsförmåga, dock har en hög stressnivå tendensen till att sänka elevernas hanterbarhet av situationen, vilket kan orsaka ohälsa. Syftet i denna studie är att undersöka könsfördelningen och förekomsten av skolrelaterad stress samt att om det finns en koppling till psykosomatiska besvär bland gymnasieelever i årskurs tre på en gymnasieskola i Västmanlands län. För att besvara syftet användes en enkät som lämnades ut till fyra årskurs tre klasser på en gymnasieskola i Västerås, där 80 elever medverkade. Studiens resultat visar att förekomsten av skolrelaterad stress bland eleverna var relativt hög där två tredjedelar motsvarande (77,6%) av medverkande elever besvarade att de var pressade av skolarbetet. Resultatet visar också att det finns en koppling mellan skolrelaterad stress och psykosomatiska besvär. Det teoretiska perspektivet i denna studie tillämpades av teorin känsla av sammanhang, för att tolka sambandet mellan skolrelaterad stress och psykosomatiska besvär. / Stress and somatic complaints have under the last decades grown and become a health problem in todays’ society, as children have reported to feel worse than in the past. School is an arena where children spends most of their time. Therefore, it is crucial to work preventive against increasing levels of stress among the students. Studies and reports show that stress and somatic complaints has increased among students that faces higher demands and accomplishment. If students face stressful situations that they can manage it might increase their accomplishment levels. However, if the levels of stress are high, it tends to lower the student’s manageability of situations, which could cause illness. The purpose of this study was to investigate gender differences and prevalence of school-related stress and if there was a relation between somatic complaints and school-related stress in students that attend a high-school in Västmanlands County.  The author sent out a survey to four classes in the last year of high school and 80 students answered the survey. The results showed that the prevalence of school-related stress among the students where relatively high with over two thirds (77,6%) of the students answering that they were pressured by their schoolwork. The results also showed that there was a relation between school-related stress and somatic complains. The theory sense of coherence was used to explain the relation between school-related stress and somatic complaints.

Today's markets are dynamic, which places increasingly high demands on companies' efficiency of processes and ability to adapt to changing situations. Inventory management includes all activities linked to the creation of customer orders ready for delivery, including stocking of goods, physical placement and picking of goods and assembly before delivery to the customer. The purpose of the study is to investigate the characteristics, challenges, and improvement potential for finished goods storage with the associated loading function within the wood industry. This qualitative case study has been carried out at a company within the wood industry in Sweden and data has been collected through interviews and observations to analyze and identify key aspects for effective warehouse management.  The results highlight the importance of leadership, commitment, and standardized working methods for the optimization of warehouse processes and increased productivity within the business. Through the application of lean principles such as kaizen and Genchi Genbutsu and the promotion of a positive work climate, wood companies can streamline their inventory management practices and improve their overall efficiency. The study draws attention to the fact that a combination of standardized working methods and guidelines, with the support of leadership and commitment, creates the conditions for making warehouse management more efficient in the long term.
