Stroke definieras som en akut neurologisk dysfunktion av vaskulärt ursprung, och är en av de vanligaste orsakerna till död och neurologiska handikapp i världen. Den drabbade lider ofta av kvarstående funktionshinder som kan påverka hälsostatus, och dessa bör behandlas med rehabilitering. Hälsa bör därför mätas post-stroke för att utvärdera rehabiliteringen.

The aim of this study is to describe how reviews of literature in Bonniers litterära magasin and Expressen changed during the period 1964-2004. The investigation is based on 20 reviews of novels and short stories, which are analysed with a method described in Hellspong and Ledin (1997) and inspired by Halliday. The theoretical frame of the investigation is founded on critical discourse analysis (Fairclough 1992 & 2001) and Habermas´social theory of the public sphere.The investigation shows, among other things, that the reviews became shorter and easier to read in both paper during the period. The investigation also shows that the genre´s style, composition and contents are relatively stable, and that current ideologies in society have a tendency to be reflected in the reviewers´evaluation of the books. To generalize, the reviews thus developed from a poetic genre in 1964, to become political in the 1970s, academic in the 1980s, feminist in the 1990s and finally an intermedial genre in 2004..

The material comprises 10 recorded shows and oth- er material published on Sthlm Wrestling?s website between 2010 and 2013, and is analyzed using a qualitative methodology derived from cultural studies. The thesis argues that there are many different types of masculinities in the narrative, which are constructed in relation to different power hierarchies such as ethnicity, class, sex and sexuality.

Hjärtinfarkt är den dominerande dödliga sjukdomen i Sverige, vilket fler kvinnor än män avlider i. Kvinnor insjuknar senare i livet och upplever fler och mer diffusa symptom än män. Stress är en vanlig förekommande riskfaktor, vilket kan skapas från samhällets förväntningar på kvinnor. Det finns förväntningar om omsorgsfulla kvinnor som samtidigt ska prestera bra både på arbetet och i hemmet, vilket genererar stress. Förväntningar från samhället och kroppens biologi skiljer sig mellan män och kvinnor.

Stroke är en hastig begränsad störning av hjärnans funktion. Störningen varar mer än 24 timmar och har en vaskulär orsak. Efterförloppet av stroke kan leda till depression hos de drabbade, så kallad post stroke depression (PSD). PSD kan leda till en försämrad rehabilitering samt ökar både lidanden och mortaliteten hos patienter. Syftet med denna studie är att beskriva hur sjuksköterskor kan identifiera och bemöta patienter som drabbats av PSD, samt vilka konsekvenserna kan bli hos patienter.

The interest for food and cooking has probably never engaged the people of Sweden as much as it does today. Especially cookbooks are selling better than ever which has been a quite constant trend since the mid 90's. This study explores the connection between visual communication in Swedish cookbooks and the post-modern values which have influenced the market climate and the visual culture. I have used a theoretical framework as reference consisting of theories of semiotics, visual rhetoric, marketing communications and postmodernism. I have been studying six cookbooks, three from the late 00's and three from the early 90's, from the two separate angles of their graphic design and photographic material.
