In September 2003 the Swedish minister of foreign affairs Anna Lindh was murdered. The murder shocked Sweden and the picture of a safe homeland was challenged. The Swedish people joined together in different manifestations and rituals to show their appreciation for the minister and to mourn together. A few days later the nation was going to vote on whether Sweden should join the euro and the minister was involved in the campaign. The aim for this thesis is to understand how this national crisis was handled in Sweden.

Today patients are more aware of their rights regarding their own care. They are more informed, more engaged and have more and individual requirements, which leads to increased demands for information and participation increases. The Health Act sets out the patients´ right to participation. Participation increases patient satisfaction with care, promotes healing and increases adherence to health care advise. The patient doesn´t always experience participation in their own care to the extent they wish, which suggests that nurse?s does not always succeed in getting the patient involved.

The purpose of this study was to find out why the law that regulates downloading copyrighted material does not work and which of the most important main reasons lies behind downloading behaviour. The phenomenon being well investigated earlier has actualized a new demand for normative investigation in connection with the hot debated IPRED-law.Using qualitative method comprising of interviews with three typical file sharers and anchored in Max Webers action typology, rational choice theory and the norm model followed by two assessment models, we found that four important reasons lies behind downloading behaviour: 1) economical reasons was the most central and frequent determinant followed by 2) accessibility and comfort, and 3) social acceptance and moral and also 4) habits. Although the content of the law was correctly provided by the interviewees, it was clear that they did not perceive the impact of the law as meaningful or threatening.The results, being compatible with previous research, are discussed in terms of the named theories and assessment models. We suggest further research to take into account peoples norms as the new IPRED-law soon will be functional as well as studies from a perspective of the legal rights of the individual..

Detta arbete behandlar Rysslands demokratiseringsprocess, och syftar till att studera vilka inslag av demokrati som förekommer i dagens ryska samhälle samt utröna vilka komplikationer Tjetjenienkriget fått för dess utveckling. Demokratibegreppet har vi delat in i tre avgränsningar, det politiska samhället, det civila samhället och det rättsstatliga samhället, vilka analyseras var för sig. I det politiska samhället behandlar vi frågor om Ryssland relationer med omvärlden samt konsekvenser av politisk ojämlikhet. Det civila samhället tar upp den ryska medieapparaten samt människornas rätt att organisera sig i sociala ickestatliga organisationer. Rättsstaten behandlar vikten av att ha ett stabilt regelverk samt betydelsen av dess efterlevnad.Resultaten tyder på att Tjetjenienkriget haft stor inverkan på demokratiseringen då det inneburit en degradering av den ryska rättstaten genom alla övergrepp mot civila som begåtts i samband med konflikten och lett till allmänt ökad brutalisering i det ryska samhället.

Israel-Palestina konflikten är en av de mest debatterade konflikterna i massmedia. Konflikten bevakas världen över och har varit studieobjekt för många forskare. I denna uppsats undersöks framställandet av sexdagarskriget 1967 och intifadans inledningsfas 1987 i Dagens Nyheter.Materialet analyseras utifrån Norman Faircloughs tredimensionella modell som sedan placeras i en större samhällig kontext. Björn Hettnes modell om världsordningen har använts för att få ett större samhälligt perspektiv. I uppsatsen redogörs för den kritiska diskursanalysen och den tredimensionella modellen.

This thesis aims to answer the following questions: What type of vocabulary is used in the humanities? What does this implicate when it comes to indexing in the humanities? How do humanities scholars seek information and what type of information do they need? What consequences does this have when it comes to the development of humanities databases? How is the MLA International Bibliography organized? How does its indexing system ? CIFT ? work? How does the MLA International Bibliography correspond with the needs of the humanities scholar? The study shows that the type of vocabulary used in the humanities differs significantly from that used in the sciences. Therefore, information retrieval is often said to be problematic in the humanities when compared to the sciences. This is, however, not completely true. If consideration is taken to the different type of vocabulary used in the humanities, subject access proves to be more straightforward than has been generally recognized.

Denna studie är ett alternativt synsätt på en kommuns mångfalds- och jämställdhetsfrämjande. Vår uppsats är en diskursiv analys av de normativa föreställningarna kring begreppen "mångfald" och "jämställdhet" med vilken vi uppmärksammar hur det till synes positiva mångfalds- och jämställdhetsfrämjandet i själva verket inbegrips av negativa inslag.Vi granskar inte bara hur interaktionen fungerar mellan dessa värdeladdade begrepp utan också effekterna därav. Studien avgränsar sig till Landskrona kommuns mångfalds- och jämställdhetspolicys, med intervjuer som kompletterande inslag, genomförda med strategiskt utvalda representanter från kommunen. Genom den här uppsatsen uppmärksammas de bristfälliga perspektiven som råder över begreppen "mångfald" och "jämställdhet". Dels belyser vi hur begreppen i sin samverkan interagerar som exkluderingsmekanismer och reproduktioner av rådande maktförhållanden.

The aim with this study was to examine professional peoples' view on the reason why females, under the age of 18 years old, self-harm and the professionals view on their treatment. The study is qualitative and based on eight interviews with professional personnel who work with young females with self-harm behavior in the region of Skåne. To be able to analyze our qualitative interviews we used two theories; the attachment theory and trauma theory. The results of this study show that there are many different functions with the self-harm behavior and that the cause of the behavior can be different among the females. Most of the young females seem to self-harm to reduce anxiety but some also do it to punish themselves, to feel alive or to belong to a group of friends.

Vid dysfagi är pneumoni en vanlig komplikation som ger ökade kostnader för vården, ett ökat lidande för patienter samt leder till fler dödsfall. Omvårdnadsåtgärder som minskar risken för pneumoni är därför av betydelse att identifiera. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att i vetenskapliga artiklar identifiera omvårdnadsåtgärder sjuksköterskan kan tillämpa som minskar risken för pneumoni vid dysfagi. I tio vetenskapliga artiklar utlästes sex kategorier via databearbetning. I resultatet identifierades att vinkeln på ryggen i sittande läge var viktigt att ta hänsyn till, användningen av vätskor med låg viskositet hade en förebyggande effekt och en intervention där hakan fälldes ner mot bröstet vid sväljning skyddade mot aspiration.

Omvårdnad av patienter med misstänkt hjärtinfarkt kräver dels ett etiskt förhållningssätt, en holistisk människosyn och vetenskapligt beprövade kunskaper inom områden såsom omvårdnad och medicin. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva sjuksköterskans akuta omvårdnad i mötet med en patient som söker sjukvård för en misstänkt hjärtinfarkt. Studien är litteraturbaserad och har en kvalitativ ansats. Litteraturstudien planerades och genomfördes enligt Polit och Hunglers (1999) arbetsgång. Sökningar efter artiklar gjordes i databaserna Pubmed, Cinahl samt via manuell sökning.
