Av 43 lästa arbeten medtogs slutligen både kvantitativa (n = 14) och kvalitativa (n = 11) artiklar i studien och dessa undergick kvalitetsgranskning utifrån särskilda granskningsmallar. Artiklarna hade god kvalitet. På basen av de 25 vetenskapliga artiklarna befanns kvinnor med diagnostiserad bröstcancer använde sig av olika bemästringsstrategier där stöd och kampanda var de vanligast förekommande.

Abstract We are two teacher students with an ethnic background and we thought that it could be, exciting to work with subjects, like a multicultural environment in schools and the challenges within this environment for students, but also teachers. In this study, we focus on how the teachers work with bilingual students in a multicultural school. We wanted to get an understanding of the subject and to be able do so, we conducted some qualitative interviews. These interviews went through with teachers currently working at the same public school, teaching in classes from 1-5. Through this qualitative research, we were able to analyse, what the teachers attitude towards multilingualism is and what kind of methods they use organizing their teaching.

This is a qualitative study based on five semi-structured interviews in Sweden. The aim of the study is to explore what experiences non-monogamous people have of dating and the social support surrounding them. The study investigates what effects norms and normative structures have on non-monogamous dating. This is done through a thematic analysis with queer theory, and the underlying theoretical concepts performativity, heteronormativity, mononormativity, relationship escalator and queer temporalities. To help analyze the social support, we have used Bourdieu's (1986) theory about social capital.

CSR, Corporate Social Responsibility, has become increasingly important in a globalised world where the responsibilities of companies and governments are somewhat blurry. The textile industry is an industry where long supply chains and raw material production in developing countries are factors adding to the complexity and difficulties of solving ethical issues. Cotton production faces many environmental, social and financial challenges in the value chain. Therefore this case study takes a closer look at five Nordic home textile companies, Ikea, Hemtex, S Group, Moko and Finlayson, and how these companies choose their cotton related CSR tools and communicate their work on this area. These companies are of various sizes and therefore the resources for CSR work are also different, as well as the perceived values for working with CSR.

Kvinnorna har hamnat i människohandel i sexuelltexploateringssyfte. Tematisk analys har använts för att urskilja återkommandeteman i deras berättelser. I studien utforskas hur kvinnornas identiteter inklusivesjälvbild formats av tiden inom människohandel. Studiens syfte är också attstudera hur kvinnorna hanterat sin livssituation före, under och efter tiden ibordellerna.

Det finns tidigare studier som visat att sexuallivet påverkats efter förvärvade hjärnskador. I denna studie avsågs att lyfta personernas individuella perspektiv. Intervjustudien omfattar nio personer som förvärvat en hjärnskada för mer än ett år sedan, och som deltagit i hjärnskaderehabilitering vid Skånes universitetssjukhus. Åldern på deltagarna varierade mellan 25 och 64 år, och ålder vid skadetillfälle eller insjuknande var 16-55 år. Frågeställningar i uppsatsen var huruvida personerna i studien upplevt förändringar i sexuallivet efter att ha förvärvat en hjärnskada, och hur personerna hanterat detta, samt om det förekom skillnader i mäns och kvinnors upplevelse.

Studien har undersökt effekter av deltagande i ett mindfulnessprogram på stressrelaterade sjukdomar som depression, ångest och fysisk ohälsa, för att utröna om programmet har varit ett effektivt verktyg för individer med stressproblematik. Studien som var av longitudinell karaktär baserades på självrapporterade uppgifter om ångest, depression, psykisk ohälsa, stresshantering och grad av mindfulness (BDI-II, BAI, KIMS, CRI och SCI), samt ett antal bakgrundsfrågor av social karaktär som baserades på ett icke-randomiserat sampel (n=15). Resultaten visade att efter avslutat program samt åtta månader efter hade deltagarna signifikant förbättrade värden vad gäller depression, ångest och fysisk ohälsa. Analyser visade vidare att ju högre grad av mindfulness individen uppvisade desto signifikant lägre grad av depression och fysisk ohälsa, men inte av ångest. Sammantaget tyder resultaten i denna studie på att programmet hade mycket goda effekter och det finns därför behov av fortsatt forskning kring mindfulnessprogrammets effekter vid behandling av stressrelaterade problem..

Smallholder farmers in low-income countries face a number of challenges in animal production. Animal husbandry carries great potential in reducing poverty, hunger and gender inequality, but at the same time infectious diseases are prominent threats to farmers? livelihoods and their animals. The objective of this study was to investigate the socioeconomic impact of infectious animal diseases on smallholder farmers in low-income countries, using African swine fever (ASF) in Uganda as an example.

We live in a stressful world and a demanding society where the ability to quickly adapt is one of the most important and most difficult challenges of today. A fairly new phenomenon called intranets has evolved to meet this challenge, however many examples of corporative intranets are stories about failures and systems with poor usability. This study focuses on how the user oriented approach to systems design affected upon a system development process of an Intranet, solely developed within a company, and how it impacts on the intranets popularity among the employees in the company. The study starts not from the literature but from a survey, which is based upon the Delphi method. Which results were used for further in-depth research about the subject, by interviewing three representatives from the company.

The fashion market is highly dynamic, and characterized complexity, abstract phenomena and creativity. Further, differences between factors such as gender, countries and social classes pose increasing challenges to fashion companies and researchers active within this area. In light of these facts, the value of creating tools that help companies and professionals active within this industry becomes evident. Much research has been focused on creating a more thorough understanding of its underlying logics and its main drivers from a business perspective, whereas knowledge regarding fashion consumers and what drives their behavior are more limited. Through this study, insights about the Swedish fashion market and its consumers are generated.

In my study, I aim to examine how the printed Swedish media depicts Jews and Judaism.How the agenda is for the depiction of Jews and Judaism and how it can be related todidactic challenges within the school subject religion. The study is based on 194 articlesfrom the Swedish newspapers, Dagens Nyheter and Svenska Dagbladet, in July and August 2014. I use a qualitative and a quantitative text analysis where I put articles in different categories. The study?s theoretical framework is The Agenda-Setting Theory and my study leans against Bachner (2006), von Brömssen (2012) and Revell's (2010) thoughts on the media having great influence over our image of religion and religious groups.My study shows, among other things, that Jews and Judaism are mainly mentioned in the media in relation to the conflict in Israel and Palestine, World War II or anti-Semitism.
