The aim: was to describe and compare a group of experts and critical care nurses' agreement in detecting delirium in intubated, ventilator treated patients with sedation / analgesia, before and after an in house training intervention with the instrument Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU).Method: A quasi-experimental study, one group pretest - posttest design. A convenience sample of 17 critical care nurses in a general intensive care unit included. To detect delirium the instrument CAM-ICU was used, 21 paired tests before and 22 after an educational intervention.Main Results: The results showed that after an in house training intervention sensitivity and kappa coefficient improved of the characteristic 1 "acute onset and fluctuating course," an improvement that was significant. In other features, and overall values were signs of numerical improvement and deterioration in sensitivity, specificity and kappa coefficient but no significant change.Conclusion: Implementing a new instrument for detecting delirium in clinical practice requires education and follow-up. A small sample of critical care nurses with varying ability to use the new instrument and the fact that patients' status may change rapidly making it difficult to draw any conclusions from this study.

For many years, the construction industry in Sweden has not developed much of an integral approach for design across disciplines. The sector?s impact on society, economics and environment is huge. To make the interactions within the construction industry more efficient, a relatively new concept called BIM (Building Information Modeling) has been introduced. The idea with BIM is that the different actors of the construction industry will work through intelligent CAD software, with common file formats and more cooperation between different actors during the various steps of the building and construction process.The technical consultancy company WSP Sweden is working actively to implement BIM within the frame of its activities.

AbstractMany of the refugees around the world today are children. Some of these children are travelling alone without anyone looking after them. These children flee from their countries to save their lives and as they are children they need special care and protection. This thesis has investigated the protection given to unaccompanied children during the asylum process in the two key instruments in the area: the Convention of the Rights of the Child and the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees. The Refugee Convention does not contain any procedural rights and does not specifically acknowledge children, even though they are included in the scope of the Convention.

Denna studie syftar till att utforska synen på rapporteringen kring orkanen Katrina, samt om den förändrat synen på USA och amerikanernas socioekonomiska status. Grunden är den uppmärksamhet fattiga fick i bevakningen. Metoden är kvalitativ intervju och målet är att uppnå analytisk generaliserbarhet. Viktiga teoretiska utgångspunkter är Lippmanns texter om världssyn och agenda-setting, där områden som framing och third-person effect är framträdande. Analysen visar att intervjupersonerna främst är positiva till hur bevakningen fungerat.

This thesis examines how a jury on an artistic education adopts next year's students to a BA program at an art school.

My ambition is to create an awareness of what it might mean for the reproduction of the artist..

With a growing share of non-permanent residents in the region with demand for help and services, this culture has during the later years been able to prosper. The social reproduc-tion in the municipality also seems to be extensive. In addition to original background, appar-ently the municipality?s service-dominated trade and industry culture has also affected the choice of education and profession of the youth in Norrtälje.

Övervikt och fetma hos den vuxna befolkningen är ett växande hälsoproblem i stora delar av västvärlden. Utvecklingen i Sverige är likartad. Även bland barn och ungdomar har andelen individer med övervikt och fetma ökat mycket de senaste decennierna. Ett ökat intag av energirik mat i kombination med ett alltmer stillasittande liv är viktiga faktorer.I stora delar av befolkningen i Sverige verkar dock den stora ökningen ha stannat av och till och med minskat. Undantag från denna positiva förändring utgör vissa grupper med individer med låg socioekonomisk status.

Högstadieelever kan antas uppleva skolrelaterade prestationskrav och forskningen tyder på att höga krav hos unga kan hänga samman med ökad risk för psykisk ohälsa (Rose & Perski, 2008). Syftet var att få en bild av upplevda skolrelaterade prestationskrav hos barn i år 8 samt möjliga uppkomst- och vidmakthållandefaktorer avseende dessa krav. Data insamlades via semistrukturerade intervjuer med 20 elever från skolor i områden med hög socioekonomisk status och bearbetades genom omväxlande induktiv respektive deduktiv tematisk analys. Analysen resulterade i teman kring barnens egna upplevda prestationskrav samt möjliga uppkomst- och vidmakthållandefaktorer, såväl externa som individrelaterade, till dessa krav. Det faktum att barnen befinner sig i tonåren uppfattades som en etablerande omständighet.
