The purpose of the study was from the perspective of young people that has completed a stay at HVB-home. The respondents are between 15-21 years both boys and girls. The basic questions were: How do the respondents look upon this HVB-homes service process? How do the respondents look upon this HVB-homes service contents? How do the respondents look upon this HVB-homes service regarding available information and how the staff is available? What positive and negative experience do they have from their stay at the HVB-home? We also wish to get a picture of what is important to change to improve the quality on this HVB-home. To receive answers to those questions we formed a questionnaire.

This is a qualitative study where the purpose was to investigate what professionals experience to be the reason for an individual to become addicted to gambling and continues to gamble even though it leads to negative consequences. The purpose was also to investigate what the professionals experienced was of importance for an individual to recover from a gambling addiction. The study was based on qualitative semi-structured interviews with knowledgeable individuals in the field. The main findings of the study were that the motivation for individuals with a gambling problem to continue gamble was that they saw gambling as the solution to their problems by winning back lost money. It was common that gambling was an escape from anxiety, guilt, shame, and other gambling-related problems such as financial liabilities.

The purpose of the study was to review the current veterinary literature regarding gastric dilatation and volvulus (GDV) considering pathophysiology and treatment, and to evaluate the operative technique (incisional gastropexy) used during the years 2005 and 2006 at the University Animal Hospital (Universitetsdjursjukhuset), SLU, Uppsala, Sweden. GDV has a complicated pathophysiology which foremost effects the circulatory system. Progress is often acute and it is not unusual that patients are affected with shock. The initial treatment targets to alleviate the shock by fluid therapy and decompression of the stomach. There is a high risk of recurrence in the long term perspective unless the stomach is surgically fixated by gastropexy. The study describes two different techniques for gastropexy; incisional gastropexy, and funduspexy. Long term complications were rare among the patients that were treated surgically, while about half out of the eighteen dogs that undergo surgery do experience complications of various severity in the short term..

Palliative care is a care that focuses on providing end of life care but not to delay or hasten death. Despite training, nurses often show a lack of knowledge in attitude, ethics and healthcare issues of palliative care. The nurse in palliative care has a central role in caring of the dying patient and therefore a big responsibility. However, palliative care is a low priority in basic training. The aim of this study is to investigate the roles of nurses in palliative care and if there is a need for increased education in the subject.

Introduktion:Att få ett besked om att sitt barn har drabbats av cancer är ett förödande besked för hela familjen. Därför behöver sjukvården se till hela familjens behov och ge dem stöd och hjälp för att kunna hantera situationen. Syfte: Syftet med litteraturstudien var att beskriva föräldrarnas upplevelse och reaktion när deras barn får en cancerdiagnos samt vilka strategier de använder sig av för att hantera det. Metod: I denna litteraturstudie ingår 14 stycken artiklar varav 12 stycken är kvalitativa och 2 stycken är kvantitativa som granskades och sammanställdes. Resultat: Föräldrarna reagerade på diagnosen med stor sorg, rädsla och ångest.

Bakgrund: När ett barn diagnostiseras med cancer förändras livet för hela familjen. Fokus på det sjuka barnet gör att syskon lätt glöms bort. Därför är det viktigt att sjuksköterskan verkar stödjande för syskon och familjen som helhet och tillgodoser de behov som uppkommer i situationen. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva specifika behov hos syskon till cancersjuka barn. Metod: Studien utformades som en litteraturöversikt där tio artiklar med kvalitativ ansats inkluderades.

The access to good sanitary facilities is an important factor that elevates the experienced living standard as it improves hygiene and reduces the transmission of deseases. The ratification of the millennium goals by 189 countries demonstrates that this is an important international issue. Together the countries have taken upon themselves that the proportion of the population that lacked access to sustainable safe drinking water and sanitary facilities in the year 2000 will have been reduced by half by the year 2015. In Peru, the construction of sewage pipe networks to transport the sewage out of the direct human environment is progressing. The safety and sustainability of these systems can be questioned, since in Peru the sewage seldom receive any treatment before being emitted to a recipient. This is taking place in Picota and sorrunding villages as well. In the last 25 years several systems implementing small-scale onsite treatment have been introduced throughout Latin America in an attempt to give more people access to sustainable and safe sanitary facilities, reducing water consumption and taking advantage of the agricultural values of the sewage fractions while protecting the environment from its negative impact. In this study three different sanitary systems and the effects of different population growths were compared.

Långvarig smärta är vanlig hos befolkningen och upp till 30-50 % har smärta av någon form. Av dessa är 10% direkt relaterade till cancer. Trots god att medicinsk vård finns tillgänglig kan brister i bemötandet från vårdpersonalen resultera i att patienter känner sig otillfredsställda. Syftet med den här studien var att belysa vilka faktorer patienten uppfattade som viktiga vid vårdpersonalens bemötande i samband med cancerrelaterad smärta. Studien utfördes som en litteraturstudie och Travelbees vårdteori låg som värdegrund.

This thesis work was made for Södra Cell Mörrums bruk in Blekinge. The purpose of the work was to develop a computer model in the simulation program Extend for the removal and balance of organic oxygen consuming substances, measured as COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand), in the new biological treatment plant in the mill. The plant produces two different pulp products, TCF- (Totally Chlorine Free) pulp and ECF- (Elementary Chlorine Free) pulp, for sale. The different bleaching procedures affect the characteristic of the wastewater and thus the effectiveness of the biological treatment plant.In the model that was developed the COD in the wastewater was divided into five different COD-fractions: soluble easily degradable (SS), soluble hardly degradable (SR), soluble inert (SI), particulate inert (XI) and particulate biomass (XB). To create the model FlowMac? was used as a base.

Bakgrund: Urinblåsecancer finns i olika former och vid muskelinvasiv cancer är radikal operation den vanligaste behandlingen. Förutsatt att cancern inte spridit sig, då görs en cystektomi. Många människor har en naturlig förmåga att hantera kriser och skapar ny balans i tillvaron efter en påfrestande händelse i livet. Sjuksköterskan kan ge råd och stöd i situationen och bör då ha kunskap om förändringar i personens fysiska och psykiska tillstånd. Syfte: Syftet var att belysa hur personer som genomgått cystektomi på grund av urinblåsecancer upplevde att det dagliga livet påverkades.

Visas inte innan 30 juni 2015.

Denna studie handlar om patienters upplevelser vid DT kolografi. Kolorektal cancer är denvanligaste typen av cancer som drabbar människor efter 60- års ålder. DT kolografi är nytarmundersökningsmetod som kan hjälpa till att upptäcka kolorektal cancer i ett tidigt skede ochsom ännu inte utförs rutinmässigt på alla kliniker. Eftersom patienter kräver mycket omvårdnadunder proceduren är det viktigt att veta vilka upplevelser patienter har av DT kolografi för attkunna ge en god och säker vård. Vissa delmoment i undersökningen kan upplevas som obehagligaoch inte helt riskfria.

I Sverige diagnostiseras omkring 300 barn med cancer varje år. När ett barn diagnostiseras med cancer drabbas hela familjen. Syskon har emellertid identifierats som de mest utsatta då deras livsvärld ställs på ända. Deras förändrade livsvärld kan i sin tur innebära ett lidande. I sjuksköterskans profession ingår det att främja hälsa och förebygga ohälsa genom att kunna undervisa och stödja anhöriga, individuellt eller i grupp.
