In the light of the problems the media industry are struggling with, local news reporting is only one of the challenges the news organizations are facing. When local editors is being moved to the cities the tie with the local community is being severed.The aim of this study has been to analyze how the inhabitants of Vilhelmina municipality talks about their experiences of local journalism. With methodological inspiration from the Critical discourse analysis (CDA) this study examined the discourses of local journalism, social media, journalism's role and municipal policy. The theorectical framework consisted theories of media and democracy, convergence culture and discourse theory.The survey was conducted with four focus groups interviews. The focus groups were divided in different cathegories based on the participants experiences, ages and employment.

The aim of this study is to investigate where and why the fitness clubs, Sats and Friskis & Svettis in Stockholms county, choose to locate their facilities in certain places and which their primarily targetgroups are. Furthermore, the aim is to gain knowledge of people?s health status in areas where the facilities are located, in order to see if they are located where exercise is most needed. Interviews were conducted with members of the fitness clubs but also with non members, i.e. people who lived in areas with an absence of fitness facilities.

During the last years, producers and consumers have become increasingly aware of food safety. Foodborne illness and foodborne injury are in best case unpleasant but they can also be fatal. HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) is a preventative food safety system which is aimed to guarantee production of safe food free from pathogens, foreign materials and substances with potential to cause adverse health effect. In order to succeed in developing, installing, monitoring and verifying a HACCP system, there is a mix of hurdles for the company to overcome. While larger food companies meet a difficult challenge, small and medium size enterprises often feel that the hurdles are almost impossible to manage.

Perinatal  psykisk  ohälsa  (psykisk  ohälsa  under  graviditet  eller  efter  förlossning)  drabbar kvinnor under en känslig period i livet. Forskning har tidigare fokuserat mer på psykisk ohälsa efter förlossning, men det är nu känt att psykisk ohälsa är vanligt även under graviditeten. För att kunna hjälpa kvinnor med perinatal psykisk ohälsa och stödja dem i föräldrarollen behöver barnmorskor  kunskap  om  hur  kvinnor  upplever  fenomenet.  Syftet  med  denna  studie  var  att belysa  kvinnors  upplevelse  av  perinatal  psykisk  ohälsa.  En  systematisk  litteraturstudie inspirerad av meta-syntes utfördes. Elva kvalitativa studier analyserades. Två huvudkategorier framkom, Att leva med perinatal psykisk ohälsa samt Att ta sig ur perinatal psykisk ohälsa.

AbstractToday there is an opportunity to reinforce concrete with steel fiber reinforcement. In some cases, completely replace the conventional reinforcement. Replacing conventional mesh reinforcement with steel fiber reinforcement in slabs on ground has shown economic benefits, less crack width and less reinforcement amount.Today there are no Swedish standard for designing steel fiber reinforced concrete, what is there is different international recommendations.In this work, design methods for steel fiber concrete are used according to RILEM and Bekaer Swedish AB's software DRAPRO. For other design methods Eurokod 2 is followed.In this work, the design of slabs on ground that are not exposed by large tension strength been designed. Design of crack-reinforcement and restrictions of crack width have been conducted in three different slabs on ground.The calculations have been performed using only conventional reinforcement and only steel fiber reinforcement, and the results are then compared.The results of the theoretical analysis are summarized in tables that compare the amount of reinforcement, crack width and economic cost.This work showed that the slabs on the ground reinforced with steel fibers provide less crack width with a minor amount of reinforcement.

Psykisk ohälsa ökar i samhället, 20 % av Sveriges befolkning riskerar att någon gång i livet drabbas av depression. 600 personer varje år drabbas av kronisk njursvikt vilket innebär att dialysbehandling kan bli aktuellt. Att leva med en livslång sjukdom, som det innebär när man behandlas med dialys, och samtidigt drabbas av psykisk ohälsa innebär ett stort lidande för den enskilda individen. Genom att sjuksköterskan bemöter patienterna med empati och medmänsklighet så skapar denne goda förutsättningar för att relationen ska präglas av tillit och ärlighet. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att belysa hur sjuksköterskan kan identifiera och förebygga depression hos människor som behandlas med dialys.

Bakgrund: Inflammatoriska tarmsjukdomar innefattar Crohns sjukdom och ulcerös kolit. De senaste åren har en ökning av de kroniska sjukdomarna skett bland annat i Sverige. Sjukdomarna går i skov och drabbar olika lager av tarmens slemhinna. För att hjälpa personerna att uppleva hälsa, trots kronisk sjukdom, bör sjuksköterskan känna till hur de upplever det att leva med sjukdomen. Syfte: Syftet med litteraturstudien var att beskriva personers upplevelse av att leva med en inflammatorisk tarmsjukdom.

This study is an assignment from the council of Södra Småland county to investigate how equality between boys and girls progresses at compulsory schools in Kronoberg county. The study was undertaken to find suggestions on how work with equality could best be stimulated.The key question was to elaborate how a decentralized rule and structural context of an organisation can affect an implementation of political decisions. The methodological approach adopted can be defined as inductive, it was analysed how the respondents from some selected schools in Kronoberg county themselves relate to the concept of equality between men and women and their experience and understanding of how the concept of equality between sex is understood in their work at school.School-legislation today demands that active measures are undertaken to promote equality between boys and girls and in general almost all the respondents of my study describe equality as an utterly important question. My findings although, at the same time, indicate a gap between rhetoric and practice. The findings of my study suggest that structural relations and a decentralised organisation can constitute a hindrance for implementing equality between men and women in schools.

The health care formulation of the principle of autonomy can be expressed as follows; ?you shall not treat a patient without the informed consent of the patient, or his or her lawfulsurrogate, except in narrowly defined emergencies?. The principle of beneficence refers to a moral obligation to act for the benefit of others. In heath care, the good or benefit in question is the restoration of the health of the patient. In fulfilling this obligation of beneficence, the physician sometimes intentionally overrides the patient?s preferences or actions for the purpose of benefiting the patient.

Nano materials can today be found in a wide range of consumer products and the number of new products on the market is expected to inrease. In the shadow of hope for nano materilas potential in various applications, low awareness of its health and environmental risks is hiding. Furthermore, the knowledge about people´s risk perception of nano materials is limited. Parallel to the situation described above, the scholls meet the challenge of incrasing the scientific literacy. To achieve this goal, skills in argumentation in science studies has been emphasized and the concept of socio-scientific issues has been emerged.

This study will focus on how patients that suffer from self-injurious behaviours experience the relation between their self and body according to some professionals. The purpose is to enlighten why a person who has mental problems chooses to injure his or her body. We believe that the reason behind this is based on the early attachment between the parent and child. We also believe that a person only continues with this behaviour if he or she gains from it. The research questions this study raises are:· How does a person with self-injurious behaviour experience the relationship between their body and their self?· What is the effect of self-injurious behaviour on the body and what is the effect on the relationship between their body and their self.· How did the relationship between body and self evolve?This study is qualitative and is based on interviews from our respondents of whom all work or have worked with self-injurious behavioural patients.

The process of food production has changed dramatically over the past one hundred years. Industrialization has led to large units of production, manufacturing, distribution, marketing and retail business. The final food product, in this system, is quite often fairly anonymous and the consumer will most likely know very little concerning the origin of the product. In recent years, the market for locally produced food has grown. There is an increasing interest in and demand for locally produced food items.

Hambert, M. Degree project in social work. Malmö University: Faculty of health and society, Department of social work, 2014. Equine assisted therapy is for many a yet unknown form of rehabilitation. In the current situation there is a lack of documented research on horses' involvement in rehabilitation and social work. Studies show that animals, and especially horses, can have a positive impact on human well-being, both physically and mentally.

Det är sjuksköterskors ansvar att bemöta patienter med respekt, bevara deras autonomi samt att skapa förutsättningar för interaktioner mellan sjuksköterskorna och patienter. Det är också de krav patienterna har på sjuksköterskor. Statliga utredningar visar att dåligt bemötande av patienter är ett problem. Patienter med psykisk ohälsa är en utsatt grupp och det är därför viktigt att sjuksköterskor bemöter dessa patienter på ett bra sätt. Brister i bemötandet kan leda till ett vårdlidande hos patienterna.

Gender is one of several factors that affect our society. According to the National Agency of Education and the values of Lpf 94, the school should communicate and counteract gender stereotypes. However, there is no demand for gender knowledge in the syllabus for Civics in upper secondary school.The purpose of this study is to investigate how two teachers work with gender in Civics education, with main focus on working practices. In addition, I wanted to investigate which conceptions students in upper secondary school have about gender in education. The method used is interviews.
