Arbetsterapeuters upplevelse av sitt arbete med kognitiva hjälpmedel "Det är bara att tänka och göra, eller?"
Att klara vardagliga aktiviteter är viktigt för människan, möjligheten att påverka sin dag, göra egna val och umgås med andra på egna villkor. Kognitiva funktionsnedsättningar medför svårigheter att ta emot, bearbeta och förmedla information och innefattar bland annat förmågan att minnas, orientera sig i tid och rum och problemlösning. Allt fler personer med funktionshinder är i dag i behov av hjälpmedel som kan ge en ökad livskvalitet. Kognitiva funktionsnedsättningar uppmärksammas allt mer i samhället och utvecklingen av nya produkter går snabbt framåt. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur arbetsterapeuter inom kommunal verksamhet upplevde sitt arbete med förskrivning av kognitiva hjälpmedel.
Antibiotikaresistens - djursjukskötarens roll i att förhindra spridningen
There are several different kinds of bacteria that has developed resistance against the antibiotic agents used in todays medicine. Most of them has evolved from the human health care but several of them has gone over to also cause problems in the animal health care. They often occur as nosocomial infections and the greatest risk of exposure to them is during health care. Since infections with a resistant bacterium can be difficult to treat, it is desirable to prevent this spread, especially since an animal treated in a hospital often is more susceptible to infection, due to their primary condition. In Sweden the current resistance situation is good and is yearly monitored by the Swedish Veterinary Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring (SVARM) programme.
Validation of KIDScore? D3 Basic, a morphokinetic model for improved embryo selection
ABSTRACT Infertility is a medical condition that affects approximately 16 % of Swedish couples in childbearing age and is a condition found in both men and women. When a couple has been trying to conceive for more than 12 months without success they need to see a health care provider. Infertility can be treated with medicine, insemination or assisted reproductive technology such as in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). The aim of this study was to validate a morphokinetic selection model, KIDScore? D3 Basic, against morphological selection model that is currently in use at the Fertility unit at University hospital in Orebro.
Hur kan komplementära metoder lindra illamående och kräkningar vid cellgiftsbehandling?
Var fjärde patient som genomgår cytostatikabehandling (cellgiftsbehandling) upplever illamående och kräkningar av olika grad, i fortsättningen kallat N/V, Nausea and Vomiting. Många patienter upplever att N/V är det mest plågsamma och försvagande med cancersjukdomen under pågående behandling. Behandling av N/V ges i förebyggande syfte, men innebär inte ett garanterat skydd för alla patienter. Komplementära metoder används både för behandling och i förebyggande syfte av N/V. Rädsla för N/V innebär att många patienter väljer att avstå eller avbryter sin cytostatikabehandling i förtid.

?Det finns lika många rutiner som det finns fartyg? : En undersökning om rutiner vid hantering av skeppsapotek ur säkerhetssynpunkt.
Syftet med undersökningen var att undersöka olika rutiner vid hantering av skeppsapotek ur säkerhetssynpunkt och hur sjukvårdarsansvariga upplever rutiner kring hantering av skeppsapotek.Undersökningen bygger på intervjuer och enkätundersökningar från sjukvårdsansvarigbefäl. 19 enkäter delades ut till en klass med sjukvårdare i Kalmars sjöfartshögskola via en kontaktperson, av dessa intervjuades fyra personer. Enkäter av samma slag skickades även ut via internet.Undersökningens resultat visar på att det saknas tydliga riktlinjer för hur rutiner vid hantering av skeppsapotek ska skötas. Dock ur säkerhetssynpunkt upplevde sjukvårdarna inte detta som något problematiskt. Dessutom kunde man identifiera tre olika rutiner som användes ute till sjöss, nämligen rutiner med hjälp av Excell dokument, journalföring med papper och penna och rutiner med hjälp av underhållsprogrammet AMOS.
Leka lära leva : En studie i inomhusmiljöns betydelse för små barns lek och lärande i förskolan
Our aim in this work has been to redesign ModernFamilies and make a user-friendly interface for people with aphasia. The focus has been to identify general issues they might face while using different technology and applications, in order to find better alternative design for ModernFamilies, with a focus on usability. To approach this issue, we used a qualitative method. Our study includes several interviews and observations preformed in conjunction with the AGNES project (AGeing in a NEtworked Society) and speech therapists. Aphasia requires simple design that in the same time gives them support to understand and use technology and different applications.

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.

Research shows that almost 30 per cent men and 20 per cent women at the age of 16-24 in Sweden download music on a regular basis instead of buying records. Thanks to modern technologies teenagers of today have become used to downloading music illegally from theInternet. Even though legal alternatives, such as Spotify, have become popular, the behavior of illegal download of music still persists. What do record companies do to prevent this phenomenon and why do they go to such length to stop this widespread movement? The question is, why is illegal download of music a problem ? and for whom? To investigate this I?ve read books about the subject, analyzed web pages of alternative record companies and interviewed a drummer in a local band.
The Best Thesis of the Year!: A study on the effect of customer generated ratings in advertising
In this thesis, the impact of collective ratings on customers? perception of a product is examined. The empirical data comes from an experimentally designed survey where the effect of collective ratings is measured in the setting of a traditional advertisement for a feature film. In contrast to what previous research would suggest be to the expected outcome, the authors of this paper concludes that in comparison with alternative designs of advertisements, there are no measurable advantages of including collective ratings in advertisements from the marketers point of view. We find two explanations to the result: (1) people tend to self-report that they are more influenced by collective ratings than they actually are, and (2) the advertisement which lacked a rating could be as attractive due to cultural interpretations of white spaces..
