Antalet kvinnor som insjuknar i bröstcancer ökar för varje år. Metoderna för att upptäcka och behandla bröstcancer förbättras, vilket leder till att fler och fler kvinnor lever efter genomgången bröstcancerbehandling. Syftet med studien var att belysa kvinnors upplevelse av att leva efter bröstcancerbehandling. Ansatsen i litteraturstudien var kvalitativ och analysen i studien resulterade i fyra huvudkategorier, Upplevelsen av att ha en förändrad syn på livet, Upplevelsen av att ha en förändrad syn på kroppen, Upplevelsen av att vara frisk men ändå sjuk och Upplevelsen av ensamhet. Som sjuksköterska är det viktigt att känna till hur de här kvinnorna upplever sin nya situation, då den är väldigt annorlunda än den var tidigare och att använda sig av livsvärldsperspektivet för att på ett bättre sätt möta de här kvinnorna i vården..

Introduktion: Utvecklingen inom somatisk slutenvård har under de senaste decennierna gått mot kortare vårdtider. En del patienter på sjukhus vårdas under betydligt längre tid än genomsnittet. Detta skulle kunna leda till fysiskt lidande för patienten, en känsla av hopplöshet på grund av ovisshet gällande sjukdomsförlopp och vårdtidens längd, saknad av familj, en längtan tillbaka till arbetslivet och övrigt socialt liv. Få studier inom medicinsk slutenvård har undersökt patienters upplevelser av att vårdas länge på sjukhus. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att beskriva patienters upplevelser av att vårdas mer är 40 dagar på sjukhus.

The aim with this study was to gain an understanding for teaching as an profession, and get a bigger knowledge about the certification of teaching and what it means for the teaching occupations status. To get an answer for this study two methods were used. The first method was a survey with questions that were sent out to working high school teachers in the North of Sweden.

This study aims to explore how a gardening project with elderly living in Djuröhemmet, a nursing home outside Stockholm, affected them regarding psychological well-being and their experience of participation during the planning and construction of the memory garden. The gardening project is new in its kind by allowing the residents to influence the design of the garden by sharing the project leader their gardening memories from previous parts of their life and by wishing for specific plants and items.  The method being used was qualitative interviews where we interviewed seven people living in Djuröhemmet who participated in all or parts of the project. The theoretical framework is Molins (2004) definition of participation, but also theories of meaningfulness, social needs and gerotranscendence were applied. The results indicate that the participants did not realize that their involvement during the planning helped developed the garden.

Syfte och frågeställningMitt syfte med denna undersökning har varit att jämföra och se om det finns några skillnader i de nordiska ländernas kursplaner för grundskolan gällande simning. Jag har också genom en pilotstudie velat undersöka hur simkunnigheten ser ut för barn i skolår 1-5 i Upplands Väsby (UV), Sverige. Ytterligare ett syfte har varit att utvärdera projektarbetet som legat till grund för pilotstudiens genomförande. De frågeställningar som jag har fördjupat mig i är följande:? Finns det någon dokumentation om simkunnigheten i våra grannländer Norge, Finland och Danmark gällande skolår 1-5?? Vad står det i den svenska, norska, finska och danska läroplanen för ämnet Idrott och hälsa angående simning?? Hur ser simkunnigheten ut för barn i skolår 1-5 i UV, Sverige idag?? Vilka förberedelser har genomförts inför pilotstudien och hur väl stämde genomförandet mot planen?? Hur upplevde klasslärarna genomförandet av pilotstudien?? Kan läroplanen för ämnet Idrott och hälsa angående simning förändras eller få ett förtydligande?MetodArbetet har bestått av tre delstudier.

Inom akutsjukvården drabbas många anhöriga av plötsliga och oväntade situationer när en närstående blir oväntat och hastigt sjuk. Detta är för de anhöriga en kaotisk, traumatisk och overklig situation som visar sig i olika former av kriser. Det finns teorier hur en kris ser ut och hur anhöriga upplever den. Syftet med studien var att skaffa fördjupande kunskaper om anhörigas utryckta upplevelser och behov i samband med närståendes plötsliga, oväntade sjukdomstillstånd eller annat hot. Metoden som användes var en litteraturstudie där en innehållsanalys gjordes.

The terms?inclusion? and? a school for all? are closely connected. The question schools can ask themselves is how they choose to create inclusion and a school for all and also in what perspective. The purpose with this study was to find out how the headmasters and the teachers at ?Blommans skola? reasoned about the definition ?inclusion?.

The overarching goal of this paper is to explain the intensive occurrence of partnerships ? regarded as a specific organizational structure ? in the formulation and implementation of Regional Growth Programs.By using theoretical concepts from new institutionalism, the paper tries to examine the explanatory capacity of this theory in the specific case of partnerships. The basis is a skeptical stance towards the conventional interpretation that views partnerships as rational organizational tools. Hence, the purpose of the paper is also to compare our own institutional explanation with the conventional.The paper finds that the occurrence of partnerships can be understood as the effect of an intensive institutional pressure. The government has, in what we regard as the institution for regional development, prescribed the partnership as a rational solution ? a rationalized myth - to the regional growth problem.

I have studied the suburban municipality of Botkyrka, south of Stockholm, from a rural perspective. Through that I`ve compared how countryside comes into being with the planning and building of suburbs. I have looked for a definition of Countryside, and found that it is often explained or defined in negative terms, as what it is not. In that it says nothing about what it really is, or about the qualitiies it has to it. Botkyrka is a suburb, but it does in large parts consist of countryside. Apart from defining countryside and rural I´ve been searching for a definition of suburbia, of it´s structure and the mental picture we have of it as a cultural phenomena. In order to understand the role that suburbs have in planning I describe their history from Italian renaissance villas to sprawl. By opposing urban and rural, modern urban planning and how rural areas are created, I´ve come to a definition of rural planning and the making of countryside. To make countryside, planning and building should come from individual needs and desires. A relationship to the surroundings based on continous interaction between the human beeing and it´s environment, a constant process of shaping and reshaping. To put my thoughts to the ground I have collected examples of projects and ideas, that fits into my view of what rural planning and making countryside is all about. They are put in different categories according to the possibilities of influence and to what degree it is put into private hands. The first category is ?allemansrätten?, every mans right. That is the rigt to use private land as long as you don´t disturb or destroy.

This survey aims to investigate and analyze how six teachers on a high school in Stockholm reflect on pedagogical aspects of problem based learning( PBL). The survey focuses on ana-lyzing how the teachers relate to the benefits and problems of PBL and how they reflect on the students development. The survey was conducted on a high school and the method used for the study was interviews, each taking 30-45 minutes. The outcome of the survey indicates that the teachers sees problem based learning as an alternative to what they define as tradi-tional education regarding its epistemology. They indicate that PBL allows the students to define their own questions, to be carriers of knowledge and to evolve analytic skills in relation to the basegroup.

The purpose of this essay was to study some selected magazine articles by examining how the concept of child poverty is produced in the public debate, and to see if the definition of the term has changed over time. The theoretical approach on which this study is based has been used as a tool to provide better understanding on the subject. Furthermore, theories of consumer society, the "collateral damage" and the theory of welfare regimes have been used. In the previous research presented in the paper focuses on linking children and families living in precarious economic conditions, consumer standards and welfare systems that characterize society.This study has a qualitative approach as it attempts to capture and increase understanding of how the concept of child poverty can be understood from a Swedish context. The study is based on newspaper articles that are studied using a structural text analysis.

The purpose of this Master?s thesis is to examine the relationship between fiction and resistance from a postcolonial and feminist perspective. More specifically, the study is an examination of this relationship in ten novels by the Nigerian writer Buchi Emecheta. The resistance is studied by examining the way it is depicted in the texts, as well as whether the texts can be seen as a form of opposition. Both the resistance and its context are studied.

The aim of this thesis is to explore the concept of the work and the problems with the definition of it. The concept is an important starting-point when it comes to cataloguing musical works and creating uniform titles. Another aim is to find out other difficulties that are frequent in cataloguing printed music. In the theoretical part of this thesis Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records FRBR and the Swedish cataloguing rules KRS are important tools. The FRBR-model and the four entities work, expression, manifestation and item are described.

Debattörer menar att nyttan med revision bör överstiga kostnaden som den medför för att det skall finnas en revisionsplikt. Utifrån detta argument frågade vi oss vad revision tillfredställer för behov hos intressenten eller det vill säga vilken nytta intressenten upplever med revision. För att kunna jämföra nyttan med kostnaden måste nyttan preciseras med ett värde, revisionens värde. Först då man vet vilka behov som, genom revision, tillfredställs hos de olika intressenterna kan man försöka finna de omständigheter som leder till att detta behov förändras. Syftet med undersökningen är att förklara revisionens värde genom att identifiera de faktorer som påverkar revisionens värde och därmed kunna granska fenomen såsom förväntningsgap och revisionsplikt.

The aftermath of colonization, culture diversity and the recognition of the ownidentity - living in a country which has the role of a former colonizer has got consequences in the multicultural French society. These consequences can be seen studying the politics, the education and the history of that country. In this bachelorthesis I discuss the aftermath of French colonization with a focus on how the French cultural identity can be explained in defining colonialism in French lawmaking. The aim is to understand the definition of the own cultural identity from a postcolonial perspective and what meaning the multicultural society has for this definition. This is an issue which can be seen in politics as well as ineveryday life, and to make an understanding of it, I study how French politicians are representing their country's role as a former colonizer in a postcolonial era.
