Denna kvalitativa studie undersöker vilken funktion det anorektiska beteendet fyller och huruvida det finns en koppling till hantering av adolescensens utvecklingsuppgifter. Sju semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med kvinnor från en icke-klinisk population som hade haft en ätstörning i tonåren. Studien visar att ätstörningen används för att hantera känslor, få en känsla av självkontroll, identitet, trygghet och självförtroende, kommunicera att man inte mår bra, få uppmärksamhet, skapa gränser samt frigöra sig eller undvika att frigöra sig från föräldrarna. Resultatet pekar på att flera av dessa sjukdomsvinster kan användas för att hantera adolescensens utvecklingsuppgifter. I studien ingår även en screeningundersökning bland universitetsstuderande (n= 406), som fann en prevalens på 6.5 % hos kvinnor respektive 2.8 % hos män för anorexia nervosa i tonåren..

I denna uppsats undersöker jag hur stereotypen ?nörden? framställs i populärkulturella texter. Syftet är att blottlägga de strukturer som ligger bakom denna framställning. Vem kan t ex inte vara nörd och vad säger det om relationen mellan manligt och kvinnligt? Hur kan konstruktion av genus undersökas och förstås genom att studera en viss stereotyp? I media och inte minst i populärkulturella texter figurerar tydliga framställningar av olika stereotyper.

This scientific essay aims to more closely study how to best arrange a context that subtly conveys that change is possible in the treatment of patients who starve themselves. By describing a number of situations during the first weeks of a girl´s therapy, this essay focuses on some central themes in the initial stage. The essay is mainly aimed to explore the conditions for a meaningful communication with a patient who has a low BMI value and who quitted the nutrition-oriented care in her clinic. The essay is a form that allows for reflection on one´s own considerations about the wisest line of conduct in various situation. The work is based on an existential understanding of the starvation as a fragile person´s one and only way to reconcile with herself in the world that is hers.

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is an unconventional model of agriculture expected to contribute to a more sustainable food supply and a sustainable landscape; the development of rural areas; a stronger relationship between producer and consumer and a healthier diet. This study, with a focus on food production and the link between the producer and consumer, describes the origin and current development of CSA in Sweden, including the prerequisites for CSA in a Swedish context. Organizations and entrepreneurs working with CSA and related projects are identified and interviewed. The notion of CSA in Sweden is still in its infancy, but a rapidly growing interest currently can be detected. The fact that the identified CSAs are found in different Swedish regions with variations in degree of urbanization and intensity of agriculture indicates that the prerequisites are there for the concept to grow, both in rural as well as urban areas.

The cocoa produced in Fiji is exported to industrialized countries for processing of the raw material. The Swedish organization Cocoa Bello is involved in a project to provide the Fijian cocoa farmers with knowledge as well as resources to enable local processing and to attain added value of the cocoa crop. The purpose of this study is to discover a field of application for the Fijian cocoa among the rural population, using an ethnographic design. We spent one week in Namau Settlement, Fiji, where we applied in-depth interviews and participant obser-vations in six families. We found a number of aspects affecting food choices, such as social, economical and cultural beliefs.

I Sverige har ambulanssjukvården de senaste åren utvecklats från att vara en ren transportorganisation till att vara avancerad prehospital akutsjukvård. Kompetensen i dagens ambulanser är mycket högre än för bara några år sedan. Känner allmänheten till denna utveckling? Används ambulanssjukvården till det som den är tänkt till? Undersökningar visar att ambulanspersonal anser att ambulansen ofta utnyttjas på fel sätt. Det saknas forskning om vad allmänheten tror att ambulansen är till för.

Our society is based on a heterosexual norm. This may lead to the fact that LGBT-persons have a poorer health status than the heterosexual population. The nurse education lacks information and courses that highlights sexual identity. This is defective since healthcare staff needs knowledge on the subject to be able to treat patients in a professional and respectful manner. The purpose of this study was to illustrate how heteronormativity influences the treatment of patients within a healthcare context.

Immigrants and children of immigrants are statistically lumped together into a category of "person with foreign background". Blatte is a degrading and violating word when directed at immigrants by Swedes. The aim of my essay was to test to what extent the Swedish term "blatte" could be qualified as an ethnicity in the sense that young people with foreign background born between 1981 and 1984 living in a neighborhood with a high population of people with foreign backgrounds have another ethnicity, besides the Swedish and the "home country ethnicity" to find themselves and their identity in.My method consisted of interviewing six people between the ages of 21 and 24 with different ethnic backgrounds living in a limited area of Malmö, Sweden´s third biggest city. I tested my hypothesis of these people having a third ethnicity to relate to against three schools and from two out of three schools defending my hypothesis, my result is that blatte can not fully be seen as an ethnicity but definitely shows tendencies of becoming one in the future..

In this thesis I analyse civilizations in South America. I construct civilizationalnarratives through the method of emplotment, to build a historic continuity, whichI subsequently connect to the theoretical framework. The theory emphasise that,when confronted with globalization and free market capitalism, civilizationsembark on different strategies to challenge the power of transnational marketforces. I find that South America is a polarised continent, and is divergingconcerning the relationship towards the USA and free trade agreements. On thesame time the issues that concern the social movements are not being reproducedin a significant matter at state level.

Social inlärning influeras av interaktioner, eller observationer, av en artfrände eller dennes produkter. Beteendet och närvaron av en artfrände kan påverka beteendet hos en individ, vilket i sin tur kan leda till överföring av nya beteendemönster i en population. De domesticerade djurens kapacitet för social inlärning, samt effekterna av detta, är stora frågor inom husdjurens skötsel och välfärd. För värphöns är det viktigt att undersöka om skadliga beteendemönster, som kannibalism och fjäderplockning, är resultat av social inlärning. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att granska den domesticerade hönans (Gallus gallus domesticus) kapacitet för att dra lärdom via social inlärning.
