I Sverige lever ca 70 000 män som har eller haft prostatacancer vilket utgör 34 % av all cancer hos män. Behandlingen och dess biverkningar kan påverka mannens livsvärld i form av ett lidande, förändrad självkänsla samt påverkan på den subjektiva och levda kroppen. En systematisk litteraturstudie med artiklar av kvalitativ ansats utfördes. Syftet med studien var att undersöka mäns upplevelser av deras livsvärld i samband med prostatacancer. Syftet i analysen besvarades genom att åtta vetenskapliga artiklar valdes ut som sedan analyserades med inspiration av en analysmodell tolkad av Graneheim och Lundmans.

The objective of this graduate work is to gain a better understanding in how pre-school educators are able to work with music in their pre-school activity to promote child development. We also want to enlighten possible factors for the development of children based on music and to form our own ideas of whether teachers choose to apply music in their didactic practice or not.The point of this essay has been to attempt answering on what importance music makes for children's development and learning in pre-school, and how teachers could work with music in pre-school in order to promote children?s development. Our data consists of six interviews and two observations realized at a pre-school in Södertälje.We took heed from the theories laid out by Lev Vygotsky's which describe four different levels of development that includes educational development in social interaction between teacher and child. Our choice of this theory is inspired by our seeking deeper understanding of Vygotsky's theory´s application to the aesthetic approach in the interaction in meaning making and learning.The result of our study confirms previous theory and research in that music as a form of expression has a major impact on children's development.

Bakgrund: I Sverige diagnostiseras varje år ungefär 55 000 människor med cancer och risken att få en cancersjukdom någon gång i livet är cirka 30 procent. En vanlig behandlingsmetod för att bli av med cancer är cytostatikabehandling men behandlingen kan ge en rad olika biverkningar såsom exempelvis håravfall, illamående och trötthet. Syfte: Syftet med arbetet var att undersöka hur illamående, trötthet och håravfall i samband med cytostatikabehandling påverkar patientens dagliga liv. Metod: En litteraturstudie utarbetades och till grund för studien valdes elva vetenskapliga artiklar genom systematisk sökning i relevanta databaser. Dessa analyserades och användes i sammanställningen av arbetets resultat.

The aim with this master thesis is to analyze a scientific material concerning the context between learning and child/student development, and factors which controls process of learning, to create an image with quality account and teaching in mathematics, which then can raise the mathematical knowledge among students.The phenomena which stand in focus for the investigation is: why there is a negative tendency for development of knowledge in mathematics, among the Swedish students that TIMSSs investigations showed in intercultural comparison within the years 1993, 1999, 2003 and 2007.The method is the ethnographical method, which is based on: analyzing scientific theories about learning child/student development, factors which controls process of learning, and factors which controls process of learning the most and qualitative empiric investigation with qualitatively analyzes the questionnaires, which is about factors which are controlling the process of learning and factors which are controlling the process of learning the most.Result of the theoretical and empiric analyzes shows that factors as school environment, attitude for subjects and teaching, controls and influence the learning. To end a unenthusiastic tendency as a negative development of mathematical knowledge among students that is shown in TIMSS investigation and to elevate the students' performance in mathematics, an elevated qualitative account and teaching in mathematics, by the factors named. Safe school environments as the intercultural meeting place, the teachers influence part to the students' subjects' attitude in mathematics and goal related grading criteria in teaching, is all required for e qualitative teaching in mathematics..

The aim of child health care is to promote health and development for all children, to early identify problems that concern children´s growth and development and to prevent ill-health among children.

The purpose of this paper is to see how differences are handled in preschools, with a focus on children with homo- or bisexual parents. By doing this we wanted to see how the conditions for a child with homo- or bisexual parents looks like, in order to have their family conditions mirrored, confirmed and visualised in the preschool.The foundation for the discussion is a questionaire which has been answered by 229 preschool workers from 24 different preschools in the City of Stockholm. The result of the questionaire has been handled in a statistics program. Our analysis is based on the statistical numbers and the written replies to the open questions in the questionaire.As a theoretical starting point we have used Iris Marion Young?s ideas about how our society is coloured by an ideal of similarity that defines liberation as the transcendence of group difference, where the dominant group cannot see how their perspective is just one of several perspectives.

The purpose of this study was to find out how young children are allowed to influence and affect their daily lives in preschools, as well as teachers? views on the latter. My interest in this topic is born out of my experience of working with both younger and older preschool children. My view is that democratic work with older children is largely based on direct verbal communication while with toddlers it is based on an adult?s interpretation of a child?s often non-verbal expressions.

Bakgrund: På avdelningar där personer med cancer vårdas är ät- och näringsproblemvanliga. Det är mycket som kan påverka aptiten vid cancersjukdom som t ex sköra slemhinnori munhålan, nedsatt/förändrad smak och illamående. För inneliggande patienter medsvårigheter att äta är det viktigt att matutbudet anpassas efter patienternas behov samt attmaten serveras i en trivsam måltidsmiljö.Syfte: Syftet är att undersöka om ett förbättringsarbete fokuserat mot måltidsmiljö, matutbud, rutiner kring matbeställning och servering samt ökad dietistkompetens kan medföra en utveckling av arbetet runt mathanteringen på en onkologavdelning. Ett delsyfte är att studera hur kostnaden för maten och näringspreparat påverkas av förbättringsarbetet.Material och metod: Förbättringsarbetet har utförts på en onkologavdelning med 16vårdplatser. Vid datainsamlingen har både kvantitativ och kvalitativ metod används.

The purpose of this literature review was to demonstrate the results of recent studies of the nurses ability to interpret younger childrens (0-6 years of age) experiences of pain in the postoperative stage. There is a lack of knowledge concerning young childrens ability to express themselves verbally and the nurse has to rely upon the parents knowledge about the child. Consequently, the teamwork between the nurse and the parents is of great importance in the care of the younger child. Therefore we intend to illuminate this aspect in this paper. This study aims to nurses of all categories, since patients with lack of verbal communication are frequently occurring.

Patienter med cancer har behov av individuellt stöd i samband med den förändring av livssituationen som ett cancer besked innebär. Vårdpersonalen tillbringar en stor del av sin arbetstid tillsammans med patienten och bör därför vara medveten om vilka beteenden som patienten identifierar som ett bra bemötande. Studiens syfte var att beskriva cancerdiagnostiserade patienters upplevelse av vårdpersonalens bemötande och dess betydelse för patientens välbefinnande. Metoden för denna uppsats var en litteraturstudie. Litteratursökningen gjordes i databaserna CINAHL och Medline och resulterade i 10 vetenskapliga artiklar.
