The dissertation What to do and how to be reflects upon the professional skills needed by unit managers and nursing staff within the institutions of eldercare. Throughout the study, three conceptions are essential: formal education and training, professional skills, and individual competence. In order to understand the professional skills within its proper context, an activity perspective has been applied. The study is based on empirical materials, historical and present national and municipal documents, interviews with and observations of unit managers as well as questionnaires filled in by nursing staff members. A main result is the stress the respondents put on the importance of individual competence among unit managers and nursing staff members. “How to be” is more important than formal training and professional skills. To work with – and develop – individual competence therefore becomes momentous both to job activities and to education. The result shows a discrepancy between the way professional skills are discussed and the actual work performance. A lot of tasks carried out by unit managers and nursing stuff are never mentioned in connection with professional skills. The unit manager’s task is to lead both unit operations and staff work. Such responsibilities demand basic knowledge in social sciences, an overall understanding of the work activities from political management, job conditions and duties of the nursing staff. The professional skills given priority are those present in organisations and leadership. Problematic are economic and budget tasks which may sometimes cause unit managers to give up their economic responsibility, favouring client – directed over economy – directed care. The main task of the nursing staff is the care of elderly. It calls for social, caring, medical and housekeeping skills. For this one needs an upper secondary level education supplying the students with solid knowledge within social science as well as basic medicine and an overall understanding of the situation and needs of the elderly. Throughout the study, knowledge of the demented and of other mental disorders is emphasized as well as treatment of elderly persons suffering from those disorders. Units still have a long way to go before reaching the goal that every nursing staff member be given a formal education. Some municipalities already offer employees shorter nursing staff training. As to the rest, the educational development is neglected.

Idag råder ett växande intresse för kost och matlagning och det kommer allt fler nya forum för presentation av matlagning. Även det traditionella forumet kokboken har påverkats av den växande matlagningstrenden. Syftet med den här studien är att utifrån teorier om genus, representationer och streotyper undersöka om könet har en avgörande betydelse för vilken kost som presentereras samt hur genus konstrueras i Svenska kokböcker. För att ta reda på detta inelddes studien först med en kvantititv innehållsanalys av 107 kokböcker, samtliga utgivna på Bonnier fakta och Norstedts förlag under åren 2014 och 2015 i syfte att kartlägga sambandet mellan kost och kön. Baserat på det resultat som framkom valdes två kokböcker ut för att mer djupgående analysera hur genus kan konstrueras i bilder med hjälp av en semiotisk bildanalys. Böckerna som ingår i den kvalitativa delen är Moberg. Maten, drycken och konsten att kombinera (2015) av Per Morberg samt Tinas sommar (2015) av Tina Nordström. Reslutatet från dessa två analyser visar att författarnas kön har betydelse för vilken kost som presenteras i böckerna. Kvinnor skriver i större utsträkning än män om teman som rör hälsa, dieter, vegitarisk och vegansk mat och sötsaker. Män skriver istället mer om alkhol och olika kötträtter. I den semiotiska bildanalysen ser vi hur streotypa könsroller konstrueras och på så vis bidrar med ett upprätthållade av hegemoniska förhållanden där det kvinnliga könet underordnas det manliga i form av ett särskiljande och objektifierande.
