Det går inte att förutsäga exakt hur klimatet förändras, klimatexperter har däremot tagit fram sannolika scenarier. Klimatet påverkar träd i städer och har därför en ekonomisk, ekologisk och upplevelsemässig tyngd. Uppsatsens utreder hur tio av de vanligaste träden i nyplanteringar i offentlig miljö i Uppsalaområdet påverkas av förväntat klimat år 2100. Klimatförändringar i Uppsalaområdet utreddes genom litteraturstudie. För att definiera vilka träd som är bland de vanligaste intervjuades tio landskapsarkitekter och två andra växtexperter. För att bestämma hur träd troligen påverkas så granskades litteratur rörande växtfysiologi och träd.

The study is based on a new approach on how Swedish healthcare is supposed to be controlled and organized. There is a renowned administration problem within Swedish healthcare, which seems to be an obstacle to exploit the resources to the fullest. The latest venture within the healthcare system is patient involvement, where the patients become co-producers of their own care, which aims to both improve and make healthcare more efficient. A few wards in Sweden have implemented this new approach whereupon the study intends to discuss the effectiveness and efficiency in some of these.The study is restricted to three wards, whereof two of these are inpatient wards and the other one is an outpatient ward, within the medical clinic in Jönköping County Council, which has implemented the patient involvement approach in their daily work. The methodology for this study is qualitative in its nature where a time study of personnel time allocation and supplementary interviews with managing nurses on the wards have been conducted.

Bakgrund: Migrän är en långvarig, neurologisk sjukdom som kännetecknas av mycket smärtsam pulserande huvudvärk som kommer anfallsvis. Trots intensiv forskning inom området är det inte helt klarlagt varför man drabbas och någon botande behandling finns inte. Dock finns vissa möjligheter att själv kunna minska antalet anfall, exempelvis genom att undvika faktorer som triggar igång anfall, såsom oregelbundna måltider och stress. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att beskriva patienters erfarenheter av att leva med kronisk migrän. Metod: För att besvara vårt syfte användes systematisk litteraturstudie som metod, där fem kvalitativa och två kvantitativa vetenskapliga artiklar samt en som var både kvalitativ och kvantitativ inkluderades.

Könsroller i samhället påverkar män och kvinnors val av arbetsområde inom vården. Enligt statistik från Socialstyrelsen väljer manliga sjuksköterskor främst att specialistutbilda sig inom akutsjukvård samt psykiatri, medan vissa områden har brist på män. De patienter som önskar bli omhändertagen av en manlig sjuksköterska kan i dagsläget inte få detta uppfyllt överallt. Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva manliga sjuksköterskors motiv att söka sig till och att arbeta inom sluten psykiatri samt akutmottagning. Metoden för studien var kvalitativ deskriptiv, genom semistrukturerade intervjuer vilka analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys.
