The aim for this master thesis is to create an understanding of the intersubjective processes of how individuals are experimenting with their identities in social media and the consequences for the identity and embodiment. The thesis is completed with the help of discourse analysis and a starting point in four complementary theories. Central to the implementation of the analysis is the concept of diffraction. Therefore the thesis is, which is reflected in the choice of theoretical approaches and methods, critical to many aspects of classical philosophy of science and method. The empirical material is based on interviews.

Being in a relationship where the partner has Asperger's syndrome makes you indirectly affected by their disability as it affects not only the disabled but also the partner. The partner may be faced with a lack of understanding from their partner with Asperger's syndrome and from its surroundings, where the syndrome including causes, limits ability in social interaction and communication.The study is a qualitative study based on six asynchronous interviews conducted via email with partners who are in a relationship with a partner who has Asperger's syndrome.The aim of the study was to increase understanding and to highlight partners experience to be in a relationship where the other partner has Asperger's syndrome and how outside support from the environment is perceived. Results of the study showed that all six partners felt that everyday life was structured around the partner with Asperger's syndrome. There was a perceived feeling of loneliness because of the partner with Asperger's syndrome not caring about the partner and of being the one taking the greatest responsibility in everyday life for it to work. There was a feeling of stress, anxiety, lost confidence and frustration but there was also a strong desire and commitment to their partner with Asperger's syndrome.

The audiologists´ knowledge-domain is generally described as a unique combination of medical, technical, social and behavioural sciences. It gives prominence to the importance of an adequate education relating to the knowledge-demands the students´encounter during their trainee-period. However, an important question is if the educational content corresponds to the knowledge-demands during the training? Aim: This study aimed to identify the knowledge-demands of students during their trainee-period. Furthermore, to identify how the students´ actual knowledge was related to the encountered knowledge-demands.

Det livslånga lärandet har stor betydelse för framtidens sjukvård. Dessvärre reagerar sjukvården alltför långsamt på denna förändring. Möjligen kan en kombination av grupphandledning och vårdvetenskap vara rätt medicin. Grupphandledning fungerar som en förändringsprocess med syfte att tillvarata och utveckla gruppens samlade kompetens med den lärande är i fokus där vårdvetenskapen mycket väl skulle passa in. Vårdvetenskapen i sin tur är en humanistisk vetenskap som karakteriseras av en holistisk människosyn som stöttar människans grundbehov och tar hänsyn till dennes personliga värderingar och erfarenheter.

ABSTRACT Introduction: One of the great difficulties that the nurse anesthetist encounter in their profession is to assess and estimate sleep depth versus signs of pain in the anesthetized patient. Based on a pre-operative appointment and the perioperative monitoring, an assessment of the patient is made. The experience that the nurse anesthetist has can make it easier to understand what subtile signs of the patient depends on. Purpose: With this in mind, the purpose of the pilot study was to try to find out if there are specific signs of pain during anesthesia and if the professional experience played a role. As a subsidiary aim the authors examined whether there were factors in the patient that the nurse anesthetist takes into account in the identification of pain during anesthesia.

This MA thesis analyzes how the protagonists and the narrative structure relates to ?the Child? as a linguistic/cultural construction in Mare Kandre?s early authorship (1984-1991). A thematic of children portraits defines this period of Kandre?s writing, which consits of the following works: In a Different Country (1984), The Annunciation (1986), Bübin?s Kid (1987), The Burning Tree (1988) and Aliide, Aliide (1991).Linguistic components, such as the word ?child?, the name ?Kid? and a reconstruction of the concept of childhood, holds an actuate position in these narratives when they first appear in direct relation to the protagonists. This suggests how generally accepted categories and concepts consciously are at work in Kandre?s writings.

From being an exotic small religion that has existed at a fading presence in southern Iraq and Iran mandeism has moved to the West and Sweden. As more and more Mandaeans encounter a new culture and a new society in Sweden it affects not only them as individuals but also their religion mandeism. In this essay, I have begun to examine how Mandaeans think about their identity and religion. I have taken my starting point in a broad theoretical discussion of identity, religion and secularisation. Mandeism is a gnostic religion that probably has its roots in today?s Israel / Palestine and sees John the Baptist as the last prophet.

Introduktion: Att lära känna patienten innebär både att lära känna patienten som person och att lära känna patientens fysiska reaktionsmönster. Att möta patientens livsvärld innebär att både patientens, de närståendes och sjuksköterskans perspektiv inkluderas och förstås som ett sammanhang. Att vara medvetslös innebär att inte reagera på någon form av tilltal eller fysiska stimuleringar.Syfte: Syftet med studien är att beskriva hur intensivvårdssjuksköterskan lär känna sin medvetslösa patient och att belysa intensivvårdssjuksköterskans syn på vikten av att lära känna den medvetslösa patienten.Metod: Data kommer att samlas in med intervjuer och analyseras med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. En pilotstudie där tre kvinnliga sjuksköterskor intervjuades genomfördes för att testa metodens hållbarhet. Resultat: I resultatet av pilotstudien framkom tre teman: att skapa sig en bild av patienten, att uppmärksamma patienten och en förutsättning för god och individuell omvårdnad.Resultatet visar på flera olika sätt som sjuksköterskan använder sig av för att lära känna den medvetslösa patienten.

Akutmottagningar idag får ofta in barn som behöver opereras akut. Personalen på akutmottagningen ställs då inför en situation där de inte hinner informera och förbereda barnet på vad som ska ske. Detta kan skapa en otillräcklighetskänsla hos anestesisjuksköterskorna på operation som därmed får ta hand om ett barn som inte är förberett på vad som kommer att hända. Att skapa förtroende hos barnet är en process som inte kan skyndas på och kräver mycket tid ända från första mötet med barnet. Denna studie vill belysa vad anestesisjuksköterskorna baserar sina val och strategier på i detta möte.

Vår åldrande befolkning har ett ökande behov av vårdande för att upprätthålla sitt välbefinnande. Kanske kan djur användas som en del av vårdandet för att främja boendes välbefinnande inom äldrevården. Bakgrund: Historiskt har djur oftast använts inom psykiatrin och då framförallt i vården av barn. Under 1990-talet började det bli vanligt att införa sällskapsdjur inom äldrevården och mycket forskning publicerades, som pekade på hälsofrämjande effekter av djurassisterat vårdande. Syfte: Syftet med detta examensarbete var att beskriva den inverkan djurassisterat vårdande kan ha på boendes välbefinnande inom äldrevården.

Syfte: Är att beskriva hur sjuksköterskan upplevelser att vårda barn med cancer.Metod: En beskrivande litteraturstudie som baserats på elva vetenskapliga artiklar med kvalitativ ansats och en med både kvalitativ och kvantitativ ansats. Litteratursökningen genomfördes i databaserna Cinahl och Pubmed.  Huvudresultat: Att tillgodose barnet och föräldrarnas behov, sjuksköterskans upplevelse av den egna förmågan att vårda barn med cancer, sjuksköterskans relation till barnet samt hur sjuksköterskan upplever att vårda barnet i det palliativa skedet var fyra teman som identifierades. Några viktiga aspekter som framkom var att barnet och föräldrarna skulle involveras i barnet omvårdnad, sjuksköterskan tankar kring sitt agerande, att sjuksköterskan inger hopp till barnet och att sjuksköterskan kan känna hjälplöshet och maktlöshet när barnet befinner sig i det palliativa skedet.Slutsats: Sjuksköterskan som möter barn med cancer har ett psykiskt och känslomässigt påfrestande arbete. Varje dag utsätts sjuksköterskan för olika utmaningar i mötet av barnen, sjuksköterskan har som roll att försöka inkluderade både föräldrarna och barnet i sjukdoms förlopp.

Introduction: Nowadays, it is a considerable fact that parents stay with their hospitalized child, however the role played by parents may not always be obvious. For many parents, this is a difficult experience, which may cause stress among parents who want to be supportive for their child. Parents and children have a close bond and influence each other emotionally; therefore it is of great importance that parent?s experiences of hospitalization should be noted. The pediatric nurse may apply this experience to give the best possible care for the child and the family.

The aim of this study was to understand how social workers perceive and understand violence and threats of violence from clients, and how it effect their working environment. It seems that the respondents understand the violence and threats of violence from clients as a result of the clients background problems, vulnerability, dependency and from ?the reason" that the client is currently in the contact with the organization. How respondents interpret the client´s behaviour based on the above-mentioned factors, seem to determine how the respondents perceive and define the violence and threats of violence by clients directed against them. Interestingly enough, although all respondents in the study experienced violence and threats of violence from clients, none of them perceived themselves as exposed at work. The answer to this is consensual.
