Syftet med denna studie var att påvisa vilka känslor som väcktes hos föräldrarna inför sitt barns hjärttransplantation och hur deras upplevelse av informationen från vårdpersonalen uppfattades. För att kunna genomföra undersökningen användes en anonym enkätundersökning med semistrukturerade frågor. Undersökningens deltagarantal var litet på grund av att få barn blivit hjärttransplanterade på hjärtcentrat. Av sexton tillfrågade föräldrar svarade endast åtta på frågeformulären. I resultatet framkom att föräldrar under kontakten med hjärtcentrat hade både positiva och negativa upplevelser.

Combustion of fossil fuels is today the dominating source of energy. During combustion,carbon dioxide is formed. The carbon dioxide accumulates in the atmosphere,which raises the global average temperature on earth through the so called greenhouseeffect. The only way to reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide from combustionin a coal fired power plant is through carbon capture and storage (CCS).Post-combustion capture is a technology to separate carbon dioxide from the uegas after the combustion for efficient transport and storage. The steady state operationof coal fired power plants with post combustion capture has already beenthoroughly investigated on a pilot scale, however much work remains to investigatethe plants dynamic operation.

SAMMANFATTNINGI Sverige finns 70 sjukhusbundna akutmottagningar varav ett flertal utav dessa har en barnakutmottagning som har dygnsöppen verksamhet. Resterande sjukhus tar emot barn, men bemannas inte av specialiserade barnsjuksköterskor. Vanliga orsaker till att barn uppsöker en akutmottagning är i samband med skada, då de har feber, andningspåverkan eller vid problem med gastrointestinalkanalen. På ett flertal sjukhus används inte någon triageringsmodell för att bedöma barnet, vilket annars anses som en fördel eftersom barnet då bedöms utifrån liknande riktlinjer. Triagering används för att snabbt identifiera den patient som är svårast sjuk och därmed även i behov av snabbast vård och behandling.
