Steget från Universitet ut på arbetsmarknaden som nyexaminerad kvinnlig socialarbetare är stort. Hur är det egentligen som kvinnlig socionom att komma ut på arbetsmarknaden och är personen i fråga medveten om och förberedd på det som krävs av henne? Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur nyutexaminerade kvinnliga socialsekreterare anser sig ha blivit förberedda på och erhållit kunskap om hur de ska kunna hantera stress och upptäcka symptom av utbränning i sin kommande yrkesroll. Studien utgår från fyra stycken intervjuer. Sammanfattningsvis visar resultatet att samtliga intervjupersoner anser att de inte har fått verktyg eller kunskap under utbildningen i hur de ska hantera och bemöta stress i sin yrkesroll. Samtliga intervjupersoner beskriver också sina arbetsplatser som överbelastade och de kan alla bevittna att den absoluta merparten av de socialsekreterare de känner till arbetar under hög press och under ohållbara omständigheter. Alla intervjupersoner efterlyste mer praktisk kunskap från universiteten, då de tror att detta skulle ha hjälpt dem i deras nuvarande yrkesroll och även som ett preventivt medel för att minska ökad stress och utbränning på arbetsplatserna. Intervjupersonerna tillägger att de har ett underbart arbete och att om det inte varit för det skulle de inte stå ut.

This report investigates the sensitivity of the control rod depletion coefficients, Sg, to different input parameters and how this affects the accumulated 10B depletion, β. Currently the coefficients are generated with PHOENIX4, but the geometries can be more accurately simulated in McScram. McScram is used to calculate Control Rod Worth, which in turn is used to calculate Nuclear End Of Life, and Sg cannot be generated in the current version of McScram. Therefore, it is also analyzed whether the coefficients can be related to CRW and thus be studied indirectly through it. Simulations of the coefficients were done in PHOENIX4, simulations of CRW were done in both PHOENIX4 and McScram and simulations of β were done in POLCA7. All simulations were performed for a CR99 in a BWR reactor. The control rod coefficients were found to be sensitive to the enrichment of the fuel, void fraction of the water and the width of the gap, and these effects were also seen in the results of β. As a result, one of three steps could be taken. First, the parameter values should not be set arbitrarily, instead default values could be chosen such that Sg is calculated more accurately. Second, a set of tables of Sg could be generated for different parameter values so that β can be calculated with Sg from the current conditions, although this would mean that PHOENIX4 needs to be updated. Third, McScram can be updated to be able to calculate Sg directly. It has been concluded that Sg cannot be studied indirectly through CRW since the trends and the sensitivity to the different parameters were not consistent between Sg, CRW calculated with PHOENIX4 and CRW calculated with McScram, where PHOENIX4 was more sensitive than McScram. The results can instead be used to bench-mark the PHOENIX4 results.

Rural development in western Europe has seen a policy change since the 1990's, heading towards a focus on local and regional identity, with increasing emphasis on locally led development. This study focuses on a rural area in commuting distance to the city of Umeå, Sweden. The aim of this thesis is to explore the experiences of local actors in non-profit associations devoted to local development, sports and local heritage. To do this, a case study was conducted where local actors as well as the municipality's rural strategist were interviewed. The results of the study show that the local actors take on large responsibilities and find that recruiting new actors can be problematic. This thesis also discusses inclusion and exclusion in rural development, both on the local scale and the municipality's policies and guidelines.
