The first two weeks in a pup's life is called the neonatal period. This period is dominated by growth and development of organs and senses. The puppy is born blind and deaf and the physiological disability makes it unable to move properly. The neonatal period is characterized by a lot of sleeping. The pup receives the important milk and warmth from the bitch.

Missbruk av alkohol är ett växande samhällsproblem som orsakar stora lidanden såväl för den enskilde individen som för samhället. I Sverige kostar detta 160 miljarder kronor per år efter att intäkterna från alkoholskatten är borträknade. En hel del av de individer som kommer i kontakt med hälso- och sjukvården av olika skäl har en riskfylld alkoholkonsumtion. Motiverande samtal (MI) är en samtalsmetod som kan användas när behov av beteendeförändring föreligger. Metoden lägger vikt vid individens egen motivation till förändring.

The role of Art in Healthcare and its requirements through a study of Diagnostic Center (DC), a Hospital with Art and Architecture integrated.Issues: Who selected Art for DC and on what foundations? How are Art and Architecture integrated, and what is the established knowledge of Art in Healthcare?Studies of reference material, theses, research articles and interviews. Hermeneutic and discourse analyses were used.Theorists: Barthes, Bourdieu, Foucault, Arnheim, Sjögren, Rasmussen.Results: A regional group selected local Art, mainly nonfigurative, and integrated it early in the architectural process. A stimulating non-traditional hospital environment with a modern design and two artists created work specifically for the environment.Art affects our Health and Caring Sciences is a scientific field that is studying how art affects patients and staff. It is relatively new but it is growing into a vast field of research, learning more about Art's effect on Health..

My intention with this paper is to try to understand the meaning of the double sex symbols which can be identified on a number of Neolithic so called battle axes from the region round the lake Mälaren in Sweden. My conclusions are drawn after having studied a number of archaeological thesises. I have realized that the society was egalitarian from what is said about the funeral habits since women and men were buried with the same care. Ceramics from the Skogsmossen site show a very long continuity over 15-20 generations. These facts indicate a peaceful society without traumatic breaks where knowledge would have been lost.

Patienter som ska genomgå en undersökning känner ofta oro och ångest inför detta. Ett sätt att reducera oron och ångesten kan vara att låta patienten lyssna på musik under undersökningar som på något sätt kan vara ångestladdade för patienterna. Studier i ämnet har visat på god effekt av musik. Syftet med studien var att genom en systematisk litteraturöversikt undersöka musikens påverkan på patienters ångest/oro under pågående undersökningar. Litteraturöversikten baserades på tre frågeställningar som utvecklats från syftet: reducerar musik ångest/oro hos patienter under pågående undersökningar, påverkar musiken övervakningsparametrar som pulsfrekvens och blodtryck hos patienterna, och påverkar musiken patienternas till ett minskat intag av lugnande och smärtstillande läkemedelsanvändning före och under undersökningen? Studien omfattade tretton artiklar som granskades utifrån dessa tre frågeställningar.

Summary The estate of Johannishus is situated in the south of Sweden and in the province of Blekinge, about 8 kilometres from the city of Ronneby. The main building together with the park represents the province´s only example of a well preserved estate environment from the early 1800th Century, and was declared as a historic monument in 1982 because of its unique role in the province. Johannishus Park has during 300 years developed in close relation to the main building, the landscape and the surrounding infrastructure. Each century and owner has had an influence on the park, which has resulted in an interesting visible cross-section of 300 years of Swedish garden history. Most noticeable today are the traces from late 19th Century, but in its oldest parts the park contains structures from the early 18th Century.

Syftet med denna studie var att göra en sammanställning av evidens för munvård som intervention vid förebyggande av luftvägsinfektioner hos äldre personer som har stor risk att drabbas av luftvägsinfektioner och som vårdas på sjukhus, äldreboenden eller inom hemsjukvård. Detta är en evidensstudie baserad på åtta veteskapliga artiklar. Resultatet visar att munvård kan reducera tungplack- och tandplackindex och antal bakterier i saliven som kan leda till pneumoni genom aspiration till nedre luftvägar. Personer med dåligt plackindex som inte får professionell munvård, har betydligt fler antal febrila dagar och fall av pneumoni än de som får professionell munvård. En kombination av god och professionell munvård kan reducera uppkomsten av pneumoni genom att den förbättrar hostreflexernas känslighet eftersom en försämrad sådan är en känd riskfaktor för utveckling av pneumoni.

The major part of the existing research on psychological effects on participating in war or residing in a war zone shows negative effects on the person?s mental health. However not all research, from an international perspective, shows the same results. Since we haven?t found any research regarding Swedish conditions and there has been a recent implementation of a decision from the Supreme Commander regarding commanded international service for all staff within the Swedish armed forces, the question has now become more relevant.

Entrepreneurship is a subject of growing attention, especially within public policy, media and research. Many studies have been done, but the subject of entrepreneurial exit has to a large extent been ignored. The aim of this study has been to investigate how entrepreneurs at an early stage in their career think about exit within a near future, and what factors influence their attitude towards exit. The study was conducted through a survey answered by 253 entrepreneurs active within business incubators in Sweden. Based on previous research on entrepreneurial intentions, a model of exit intentions was developed, and tested against several other factors.

This retrospective study aimed to examine differences at age fivebetween twenty-six internationally adopted and twenty-six Swedish-bornchildren with cleft lip and palate regarding age of surgery, speech andintervention. Correlation between age of surgery and speechvariables andgender differences was examined. Blind assessment of audio recordedsentence repetition or naming of words was performed by two speechpathologists. Soft palate was closed significantly later for the study groupthan the control group. Age at closure of hard palate did not differ.

Injuries and sick-leave is a common feature for reinforcement workers today. This is mainlydue to the fact that reinforcement work is done in an exposed environment with many stressfactors and highly repetitive work. These operations are often carried out in unsuitableworking positions, these positions creates a major burden on the bones and joints and causesmicro- damages on muscles. With repetitive work these injuries are not given time to healproperly and will gradually become worse.The body will not be able to handle the stress of working in a work environment such as thisand musculoskeletal disorders can be a result of this. The injury will make itself known aspain in the musculoskeletal system and causes reduced movability; the injured worker willtherefore not be able to perform the same work tasks as before.

Hästar har funnits vid människans sida i över 6000 år och används sedan några decennier tillbaka inom humanvården i form av så kallad hästunderstödd terapi. Syftet med den här litteraturstudien är att redogöra för bakgrunden till att hästar kan användas till detta, vilka effekter som kan ses med fokus på behandling av barn med autism och äldre personer samt överskådligt ta upp vilka risker som finns associerade med terapiformen. Framför allt är det egenskapen av att vara ett flockdjur som gör att hästar kan används inom psykoterapi. Hästar är känsliga för andra individers signaler och reagerar utifrån dessa vilket har visat sig användbart för att hjälpa människor att stärka sin självbild och tillit. Utöver den psykologiska aspekten av hästunderstödd terapi finns också den fysiska. Inom ridterapi drar man nytta av hästens rörelsemönster för att stärka bland annat muskelfunktion och balans hos människor med fysiska funktionsnedsättningar.
