Research shows that there is a lack of knowledge of adult students with ADHD. Most of all research focuses on children with ADHD in school. The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of how adult learners with ADHD experience academic studies related to cognitive difficulties, emotion, motivation, and their experience of SOC. The questions tried to determine how any cognitive difficulties and emotions are perceived, how students' motivation to study impacted and their experience of SOC based on studies in higher education. To answer the purpose and questions used qualitative interviews based on three students with ADHD using a hermeneutic method.

Syftet med studien har varit att undersöka om det finns skillnader i attityder hos de arbetsgivare som har anställt personer med funktionshinder, jämfört med de arbetsgivare som tog emot personer med funktionshinder som praktikanter, i grupperna över sex månader och under sex månader, samt om arbetsgivarens attityd har påverkat längden på praktiken? Metoden var kvalitativa intervjuer med sex arbetsgivare som varit i kontakt med Misas dagliga verksamhet. Resultatet visade framförallt att störst skillnad i attityd, mellan intervjupersonerna som anställt personer med funktionshinder och dem som tog emot praktikanter med funktionshinder. Arbetsgivare som anställde personer med funktionshinder hade mer tillit och förtroende för personen och ansåg att personer med funktionshinder kunde uppfylla deras krav, samt att lönebidrag var största anledningen att anställa personer med funktionshinder. Arbetsgivarna som tog emot praktikanter med funktionshinder trodde däremot inte att personer med funktionshinder kunde uppfylla arbetskraven samt fungera väl utifrån alla faktorer som är viktiga på arbetsplatsen.

Syftet med denna kvantitativa studie var att undersöka om kvinnliga studenter hade sämre självkänsla och rapporterade mer stress och psykisk ohälsa än manliga studenter, samt att jämföra skillnader i självkänsla, stress och psykisk ohälsa vid två olika institutioner. Undersökningen avsåg också pröva om självkänsla och stress predicerar psykisk ohälsa. En enkätstudie genomfördes på 79 studenter från Institutionen för psykologi vid Lunds Universitet och ekosystemteknik på Lunds Tekniska högskola. Med hjälp av skalorna RSES som mäter självkänsla, USSQ som mäter stress, samt GHQ12 vilken mäter psykisk ohälsa, konstruerades en enkät.Resultaten visade att de kvinnliga studenterna upplevde mer stress än de manliga, men rapporterade inte sämre självkänsla eller högre psykisk ohälsa. Det fanns inte några skillnader mellan studenterna vid de båda institutionerna i fråga om rapporterad självkänsla, stress och psykisk ohälsa, och inte heller någon interaktionseffekt mellan kön och institution vad gäller dessa variabler.

I vår studie har vi kommit fram till att det inte finns någon entydigt och klart svar på våra frågeställningar. Vårt exempelföretag Previa visar och mäter att kundens investering ger effekt genom ett unikt kommunikationsverktyg som heter Hälsoeffekten. Verktyget fungerar så att företagets alla siffror förs in i ett system som ger en överblick av företaget. Previa kan sällan garantera att den önskade effekten av investeringen verkligen uppstår, det vill säga att den kommer företaget till del. Det föreligger vidare ett problem att kunna bevisa att förebyggande insatser kommer att ge effekt, eftersom det ibland inte kan påvisas att problem i framtiden kommer att uppstå och då inte heller åtgärdas.

The aim of this two years master?s thesis in Archive, Library and Museum Studies is to analyse how Swedish cultural history museums work to include LGBTQ-heritage (LGBT is the acronym for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer) in their collections. This work is articulated around three research questions. These interrogate museum practice about collecting and collection management, what it looks like in the already gathered collections as well as the implications such work implies on a broader level. The theoretical framework throughout the paper is gender and LGBT studies as well as queer theory.

This thesis presents an analysis of a conversation between a therapist and her client. Through a study of the conversation's topics and structure I have been able to draw conclusions on how the therapist governs and steers the session. With the use of certain tools, such as introductions of topics, invitations, paraphrasing and explorative questions, the therapist presents the frames of the conversation. At the same time, though, she invites the client to state her point of view and correct the views imposed on her through, for example, formulations from the therapist. I in my study I have used the methods of Conversational Anlaysis (CA) com-bined with quantitative methods such as calculating the frequency of a phenomenon.Throughout the thesis I have compared my results with the results presented by Ulla Melander Marttala in her dissertation Content and perspective in doctor-patient conversa-tions.

Sverige har över 100.000 veteraner och den svenska politiken verkar för ett större samarbete med FN och Nato. Därför är det viktigt att Sverige även kan hantera hemkomna veteraner som fått psykiska besvär under tjänstgöringen. Denna studie har baserats på veteraner och hur de upplever hemkomsten, veteranernas erfarenheter av Hemkomstprogram och tjänstgöring. Studien gör en jämförelse mellan tidigare forskning och veteranernas åsikter om vad som kan påverka den psykiska hälsan samt deras åsikter om hemkomstprogrammet. Arbetet består av inspelade telefonintervjuer som gjorts med veteraner (n=5) och en av Försvarsmaktens psykologer samt tidigare forskning.

The Master of Science in Energy Systems Engineering program at Uppsala University started in 2000 and 221 students has graduated since. This master thesis aims to answer what competencies alumni considers most important for successful professional practice. It also seeks to find out how these competencies are reflected in the program to identify potential gaps between importance and how the competencies are being prepared. With inspiration from similar research a method has been developed consisting of two steps: (1) A survey and (2) interviews with alumni. The alumni survey rates the professional importance of 13 competencies and how well the corresponding competency is prepared in the program.

Studien koncentrerades på den ökade uppmärksamheten kring pokerspel i media. Intresset tycks ha ökat kring detta "fenomen" vilket fört med sig både kommersiell uppmärksamhet och kanske en ökad nyfikenhet för dem som tidigare inte varit spelintresserade. Föreliggande analys diskuterade varför ett sådant intresse plötsligt fått genomslagskraft. Diskussionen inleddes med ett teoriavsnitt där flera teser togs upp. Dessa kom att handla om livsstilar, risktagande, tillfälligheten, Internet och spel i vardagen, störst utrymme fick Anthony Giddens.

The aim of the thesis is to examine how central collective actors in the Swedish subsystem of renewable fuels use their positions of power and influence to their own specific interests and needs. In particular the thesis looks at the problems of climate change and oil scarcity and how renewable fuels are described as a potential solution. Using agenda setting theory and Steven Lukes three dimensions of power as a framework, five actors are examined and analysed. The study has been done in two parts. In the first part policy documents are analysed concerning the actors general stance towards renewable fuels, and how this is communicated to the media, politicians and public.

The main focal point of this study is about public libraries and its possible roles in today's society. Going from having had a clear educational orientation, public libraries has with time amassed several other roles, which all need to relate to the swedish law regarding libraries and other governing documents, as well as business plans. This thesis focus on a qualitative investigation, which was conducted through in-depth interviews with librarians and other staff at a public library in Stockholm, named bibliotek Plattan, to ascertain the prevailing opinions within this facility about the role of libraries and librarians. The choice of examine this particular library was based on the fact that bibliotek Plattan differs from the public library in general and only offers material for adults. Their collection of litterature is primarily based on fiction novels.

These were negative self-image, guilt, lack of family support, negative experiences of others' views, the protective identity as self- harmer and insecure social relationships in school.Conclusion:The self-harming is a very complex behavior.

Det fanns många studier avseende attityder och kunskaper gentemot ECT bland både läkare och patienter. Däremot fanns ett fåtal studier ur sjuksköterskor och sjuksköterskestudenters perspektiv gällande attityd, kunskap och omvårdnad vid ECT behandlingen. Syftet var att ur ett omvårdnadsperspektiv beskriva ECT behandlingen avseende attityd, kunskap och omvårdnadshandling. Studien genomfördes som en litteraturöversikt baserad på tio vetenskapliga artiklar, nio kvantitativa och en kvalitativ, funna genom litteratursökning i databaserna Academic Search Elite, Cinahl, CSA Psychology, PsycInfo, PubMed, SweMed+, Scopus och Web of Science. Resultatet visade motsägelsefulla fynd angående attityderna.

Based on phenomenological hermeneutics and narrative theory the study explored how parents experience and create meaning when the child receives the diagnosis of autistic disorder. Interviews were conducted with eight parents and the analysis concerned both contents and form in their stories. The resulting aspects of the contents is presented in seven areas: stories about the time before the diagnosis, seeking help, receiving the diagnosis, the meaning of the diagnosis, coping, living with autism and stories about the future. The six resulting aspects of form included: chronology of the stories, creating order out of chaos, cultural norms, rewriting the story about the child, aspects of metaphors and changing perspective. The conclusion of the study is that the diagnosis serves as a way for the parents to transform experiences into a meaningful whole.
