Denna studie syftade till att undersöka pedagogers uppfattningar av elevers olikheter där symtomdiagnosen ADHD får utgöra exempel, samt visa på hur dessa uppfattningar avspelgar sig i förhållningssätt och utformning av lärmiljön. Genom att inta ett kritiskt perspektiv ville vi lyfta fram olika perspektiv för att få och skapa förståelse. Som datainsamlingsmetod har vi använt oss av kvalitativa intervjuer med tre pedagoger som är verksamma inom grundskolans tidigare år. Intervjuerna har gett oss insikter om att skolan fortfarande präglas av ett kategoriskt synsätt på elever i behov av särskilt stöd. För att kunna förverkliga en skola för alla med ett relationellt perspektiv behövs ett förändrat synsätt som startar på formuleringsarenan så att realiseringsarenan ges förutsättningar att bedriva verksamheter som präglas av gemensamhetsskapande där olikheter tas tillvara samt att alla ges möjlighet att utvecklas utifrån egna förutsättningar och behov..

Hyperthyroidism has become the most commonly diagnosed endocrine disorder in cats. The recommended treatment of choice in the literature is administration of radioactive iodine. This treatment has been available at a few veterinary clinics in Sweden since 1999. Forty-six cats treated with a standard dose (80 MBq) of radioactive iodine (131I) at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in the period 2000-2004 were followed for a median of 13 months (range 3-42 months) by means of a retrospective cohort study design. Tables predicting time of survival after treatment were made. At final follow-up thirty-nine cats (85%) were euthyroid, six cats (13%) remained hyperthyroid and one cat (2%) was hypothyroid.

Är det möjligt att skapa en lanseringswebbsida för ett TV-/dataspel som både är användarvänlig och lever upp till målgruppens förväntningar? Med hjälp av Tommy Sundströms användbarhetsteori och andra hjälpmedel ska en fiktiv lanseringssida byggas för att testas på en målgrupp. Först samlade jag in ett urval av spelwebbsidor som jag sedan begränsade till tre. Dessa tre spelsidor analyserade jag utefter användbarhetsteorin där jag granskade typografin, navigationen och hastigheten. Från denna analys och med hjälp av användbarhetsteorin byggde jag sajten Bravocharlie.

The aim of this study was to describe young women's experiences of midwives/ gynaecologists treatment in connection to gynaecological examination. A further aim was to achieve a better understanding of the factors that can form the basis of the experience of treatment. A qualitative study was performed in which the participants (N=10) was Swedish-speaking women aged 18-25 years, with experience of at least one gynaecological examination. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, using an interview guide. The material was analyzed according to Graneheim and Lundman´s (2004) method for qualitative content analysis.

The purpose of this essay is to explore the significance for former drug addicts who, during their treatment against drug abuse, have had a therapist with a drug addiction in his or her past. A qualitative case study has been used as method in which four former drug users have been interviewed. We have compiled the results based on five key themes in order to get a comprehensive picture of the relevance of common experiences regarding drug abuse, based on former addicts? experiences. This has been done in connection with a review of different theoretical perspectives that we have found relevant to the investigation. Our findings have then been compared with previous research in the field.

AbstractAim: The aim of this study was to investigate if treatment with ?dry needling? in myofascial triggerpoints (MTrPs) in the rotatorcuff muscles may affect impingement symptoms such as pain during provocative tests, shoulder mobility, and function. The research questions were: Does the value of pain change on the Visual Analog Pain Scale (VAS) between before and after treatment? Do the positive provocative tests for impingement change between before and after treatment? Does the active shoulder mobility change between before and after treatment? Does the self-rated function change between before and after treatment?Method: The study was a prospective randomized intervention study and 19 persons with impingement symptoms (mean ± standard deviation; 58 ± 18 years, and shoulder pain duration 3.9 ± 1.6 months) were randomized into two groups. The groups were tested before, directly after and 3 weeks after treatment.

The aim of this paper is to study the long-term effects of stuttering treatment according to the Lidcombe Program in Sweden and to answer questions whether underlying factors may have affected the treatment results. Participants were seven children, one girl and six boys aged 7:10-14:2, who all completed Stage 1 of the program approximately 2-7 years ago.The children were video recorded during a conversation with one of the authors and while reading aloud. Before the recording, their parents estimated the level of stuttering according to a Severity Range (SR) Scale. The evaluations were used as reference for determining whether the recordings were representative for the children´s current speech fluency. Proportions of stuttered syllables (%SS) were calculated from the video recorded material and compared with the proportions of stuttered syllables (%SS) at the time when the first stage of the program was initiated.The results showed that the Lidcombe Program had a significant (z=-2.37, p=0.02) long term effect on stuttering treatment for the participants in this study.

The continuous process of urbanization results in demands on research and development for ecological and sustainable city development. Because of this, the current systems for wastewater treatment may have to be improved. In order to evaluate new technologies for municipal wastewater treatment, a development project has been initiated for the new district Hammarby Sjöstad in Stockholm. The project is lead by the company Stockholm Water. High environmental standards have been put up for the district, as it must be twice as good as an ordinary new district.

Information technology is increasingly used in healthcare. New methods, such as apps and computer programs and Internet-based treatments are introduced to treat various medical diagnoses. Increased demand for help in mental illness means that it is necessary to develop alternative assessment and treatments to traditional treatments that may be offered by primary care and specialist psychiatry. Government and Local Authorities and Regions (SKL) have agreed to support, and treatment on the web is part of that development. The work is all about, and how Child and Adolescent Psychiatry ( Bup ) , use psychological e- services, and apps for the treatment of adolescents and the types of psychological e-treatments for adolescents are available in Sweden today.  Methods used are interviews and literature studies, where I examined the use of computerized psychological treatments in Västernorrland and Stockholm County Council.

Clients with dual diagnosis have difficulties to recover and have a tendancy to fall between two stools. Among other things this is due to the fact that caregivers have different approaches, values and focus. The purpose of this study is to compare how clients, therapists and socialworkers look upon the aim of the treatment, its form, residential care, the conception of goalfulfillment and participation. In our study we have applied the theories of Aaron Antonovsky, Howard Becker and Erving Goffman. The paper consists mainly of qualitative interviews with clients, therapists and socialworkers.

Syftet med denna studie är att belysa hur man på en skola arbetar med elever som har olika neuropsykiatriska diagnoser. Vidare är det av intresse att undersöka hur dessa elever bemöts av andra på skolan. De neuropsykiatriska diagnoserna som kommer att presenteras är, ADHD, Autismspektrumstörningar (Autism och Aspergers), tvångssyndrom (OCD), Tourettes syndrom, inlärningssvårigheter (dyslexi) samt DAMP. Fokus kommer att ligga på den neuropsykiatriska funktionsnedsättningen ADHD som är den vanligaste. Stämplingsteorin har använts i studien då den är högst aktuell på grund av att man än idag stämplar individer utifrån vad man anser vara normalt eller avvikande.

Syftet med vår undersökning är att titta närmare på diagnoserna ADHD/DAMP, vilken betydelse den kan ha för det enskilda barnet samt för den pedagogiska verksamheten. För att få en djupare inblick utfördes fem stycken kvalitativa intervjuer där frågorna var halvstrukturerade. Intervjudeltagarna kunde utifrån denna struktur föra fram sina personliga tankar, åsikter och erfarenheter. Intervjudeltagarnas arbetslivserfarenheter varierade, de jobbade på olika ställen i Västerbotten samt hade olika professioner. Detta var ett medvetet val då vi ville få ett bredare perspektiv angående diagnosernas för- och nackdelar.I resultatet framgick det att diagnoserna kan innebära både för- och nackdelar beroende på hur de vuxna i barnets omgivning väljer att tolka vetskapen om en diagnos.

Background: Involuntary psychiatric treatment remains a contentious issue globally, with many countries implementing forms of coercive treatment for patients deemed unsafe due to psychiatric diagnoses. Nurses play an important role in involuntary psychiatric care- however there is a need for an increased understanding of the experiences and needs of the patients to be able to provide good care. Purpose: This study aimed to explore and understand the experiences of patients undergoing involuntary psychiatric treatment. Method: A qualitative literature analysis was conducted, encompassing 10 qualitative articles. Key Findings: Recent data highlights that most patients reported a lack of compassion and overall negative experience during involuntary psychiatric hospitalisation..

Syfte: Att undersöka om det fanns något samband mellan behandling med centralstimulantia ochavvikande tillväxt hos barn och ungdomar med ADHD, samt att undersöka om eventuellt avvikandetillväxt hade något samband med ålder vid insättande, kön eller olika funktionshinder.Metod: 68 barn med ADHD som behandlats med centralstimulantia i minst två år inkluderades.Journalkopior inhämtades från Habiliteringen för barn och vuxna vid Uppsala läns landsting. Dessakopior innehöll barnens tillväxtkurvor, kön, diagnos och ålder. Kurvorna granskades med hjälp av enutformad granskningsmall. Barnens tillväxt jämfördes mellan åldergrupper, kön och olikafunktionshinder.Resultat: Vid behandlingsstart var åldersgrupperna 6-8 år samt 12-16 år signifikant tyngre ännormalpopulationen i samma åldersgrupper. Det fanns en signifikant skillnad mellan åldergrupperna ilängdavplaning efter ett års behandling, där fler barn i åldrarna 10-16 år avplanade än barn i åldrarna6-10 år.
