Personal inom ambulanssjukvård utsätts ofta för svåra situationer i sitt arbete. Svåra olyckor med starka synintryck, patienter som utsätts för starka psykiska trauman i form av exempelvis dödsfall av närstående och andra trauman kan även bli ett trauma för den personal som är involverad i händelsen. Syfte: Studien syftade till att undersöka förekomsten av symptom på Posttraumatisk Stress hos ambulanspersonal samt förekomsten av stöd för att bearbeta traumatiska händelser. En kvantitativ enkätstudie utfördes som inkluderade en screeningdel för PTSD. Inklusionskriterierna för studien var personal, oavsett utbildningsnivå, med aktiv tjänstgöring på akutambulans.

Visby is a city that at first glance is of medieval origins. The popular image of scientists today is that the city was formed in the Middle Ages. According to some of the researchers Visby was formed during the Viking Age, it is based on the basis that the area has been used for a long period. Urban development in the Nordic countries is complex and there are different opinions as to why the Nordic cities emerge. It is important to shed light on the underlying process on why cities are emerging to provide clarity as to why Visby city is emerging.

This thesis concerns partial discharges in stator windings and the possibility of analyzing data using statistical methods. Partial discharges, or PD, are a physical phenomenon in which discharges occur locally due to large electric fields. PD can occur in or adjacent to the insulation of stator windings and causes breakdown of the insulating materials. PD measurement can provide an idea of how widespread the PD activity is. A technique to measure and analyze PD that has become very popular over the last few decades is phase resolved PD patterns.

This thesis focuses on the motives and incitements for voluntary work. The main question for this thesis is why people get involved in voluntary work. What are the motives and incitements for voluntary commitment and what do people gain from this kind of commitment? The thesis is based upon qualitative research methods at Frivilligcentralen in Norrköping. The theoretical perspectives are a community commitment, satisfaction of being part of a meaningful context, altruistic and self-interest and an increased pace of social changes.

Bakgrund: Artros kan utvecklas utan påvisbar anledning eller till följd av en inflammatorisk sjukdom eller ett trauma. Det är framförallt äldre personer som drabbas av artros och kvinnor drabbas oftare jämfört med män. Knä- och höftleder samt stortån- och tummarnas grundleder är de leder som framförallt drabbas av artros men sjukdomen kan även förekomma i ryggradens leder. I åldrarna 65-74 är 20?30% drabbade av röntgendiagnostiserad knäledsartros.

Möjlighet till vila är ett grundläggande mänskligt behov. Vid kritisk sjukdom eller trauma som kräver intensivvård befinner sig människan i en miljö med andra rutiner och annan dygnsrytm. Miljön på intensivvårdsrummet kan leda till sömnstörningar och utgöra ett hinder för vila. Brist på vila och sömn förhindrar läkning och återhämtning och beskrivs som en bidragande faktor till IVA-syndrom. Att befrämja patientens behov av vila är intensivvårdssjuksköterskans uppgift och att befrämja vila för en annan människa borde innebära att själv ha en tanke om vad vila kan innebära.

Without being aware of it, cognitive processes continuously take place in our heads. We are forced to fill in the information gaps that we meet in our everyday life in order to create an understanding and to form a whole, and that?s where the importance of inference comes in. To create inference implies creating meaning from something that is not explicitly given. Having knowledge about this process offers great possibilities, while not taking it into account may involve risks.

VSEM project and the need for a more efficient way of handling requirements andinformation are highly apparent.The overall objective of this thesis is divided into two parts:1. To identify criteria/factors leading to a successful introduction of an informationmanagement system.2. To develop an implementation process for a requirement management system ?the first step towards a PLM system in EE development at VCC.This will be done through interviews with employees, a literature review and an analysisof studies of three earlier projects within VCC.The conclusion of this study shows the great need for change in work methods fordesigners handling information and requirements. An implementation process has beenidentified with guidelines on how to handle different phases of the process.

This qualitative study focuses on the investigation of different actor?s ideas concerning gender and womanhood in a post-socialist nation Bosnia and Herzegovina. The aim of this study is to try to provide experiences and attitudes of one not a new, but definitely one constantly changing phenomenon, trafficking in women for sexual exploitation. The qualitative data is mainly collected through nine interviews with people from Bosnian Governments, International organizations and NGOs during my stay in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The causes to trafficking are complex and intertwined but it directly relates to gender discrimination and attitudes on sexual relationships between women and men.

Society and technology develop together in interaction processes. Because of the development of information technology, the Industrial society has been left behind in favor of a society where information is the key production factor, i.e. the Information society. In the Information society, social functions and processes are organized in networks. These networks integrate geographically separate markets to parts of a complex global economic system.

The aim of this qualitative study was to examine and understand how teachers see and handle the signs of child poverty within a classroom context. The paper is based on an interview study involving 8 teachers in 2 Swedish schools for children between the ages of 6 to 12 years old. Poverty is a complex word and there are many definitions of it. What do teachers interpret as signs of child poverty in the school context? How do they act when they think it?s necessary to protect a child from being affected by it, and how can we understand their choice of action with the help of action theory? We discovered that the teachers notice different things as signs of child poverty, and they all react in both different and similar ways.

Syfte: Att undersöka ambulanssjuksköterskors upplevelser av att omhänderta pediatriska traumapatienter med fokus på prioriteringar, beslutsfattande, behandlingsriktlinjer (beslutsstöd) samt uppföljning av patientfall.Metod: Kvalitativ intervjustudie med beskrivande och utforskande design. Urvalet bestod av åtta ambulanssjuksköterskor, sju män och en kvinna, med tre till 16 års erfarenhet inom yrket. Data analyserades genom kvalitativ innehållsanalys.Resultat: I mötet med barn inom ambulanssjukvården har ambulanssjuksköterskans eget föräldraskap och barnets föräldrar en betydelse. Praktiska och mentala förberedelser samt ett gott bemötande är viktigt. Att prioritera och bedöma barn är svårt då det föreligger anatomiska/fysiologiska och psykologiska skillnader.

Bakgrund: Antalet barn och ungdomar som deltar i organiserade idrotts- och fritidsaktiviteter ökar. Det ses också en ökning av intensiv träning i yngre åldrar. Detta kan leda till att barn och ungdomar utsätter sig själva för ökad risk för akuta skador och överbelastningsskador. Syfte: Att applicera och anpassa Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center (OSTRC) svenska enkät till ett pojklag inom juniorishockey under en fyraveckorsperiod samt att genomföra en skaderegistrering mot de fysiska hälsoproblemen (akut skada, överbelastningsskada och sjukdom) och belysa dessa inom juniorishockey. Material och metod: Samtliga spelarna i ett pojklag (ålder 15-18) i ishockey fick under fyra veckors tid fylla i OSTRC enkät en gång i veckan.

The Russian-Georgian war of 2008 drastically changed Europe´s and Sweden´s political climate.Russiashowed that it is capable of successfully completing complex campaigns including ground, naval and air assets. However, not much has been said about the theoretical framework and doctrine of the Russian military of today. Even less has been researched about Russian use of air power and applied air theory. Are air power assets still considered primarily as support of ground offensives or has the theoretical framework changed?John A.
