Background: Osteoarthritis is understood to be a common cause of pain and dysfunction in cats; however there are few validated pain assessment methods for chronic pain in cats. In order to design a proper pain questionnaire, it usability need to be tested in both sound and sick cats. Aim: The aim was to investigate the usability of the pain questionnaire ?Lifestyle changes in cats? by compiling the results from the pain questionnaire reflecting the lifestyle in 30 healthy cats and compare it to the results from a clinical examination, as well as proposing improvements and additions to the questionnaire based on a literature review. Material and method: 30 healthy cats participated in the pilot study; the pet owner filled out a pain questionnaire with 16 questions regarding their cat´s behavioral and eventual changes in behavior and physical function. Thereafter the cat walked over a pressure measurement mat and finally underwent an orthopedic-directed clinical examination. The literature was found on Web of Knowledge, PubMed, Sciencedirect, and Google Scholar and also with the help of my supervisors.

The aim of this master?s thesis is to examine how managers in some public libraries are using performance measurements and to what extent decision making is based on the results.

The purpose of this study was to examine how teachers see the use of action plans for students in need of special support in physical education. The questions used were: What do the teachers consider being the causes for students not reaching the objectives in physical education? What experiences do four teachers have considering the work with action plans for students in need of special support? And, what experiences have one chosen head of school about establishing action plans for students in need of special support?To reach the answers to these questions qualitative interviews were made with four teachers from different schools. The interviews deal with the teachers views on assessment, curriculum, and the work with action plans for students in need of special support.The results show that that the underlying causes for students not reaching their objectives was either lack of participation or difficulties in certain parts of the subject. Despite this, the teachers write very few action plans even though it appears there are students in need of special support.

The purpose of this thesis is to compare mass digitization and qualitative digitization, to see how the digitization process and the digitalized material differ. The study emanates from the mass digitization as it is performed at the National Library in Norway, and the qualitative digitization at the Royal Library in Sweden. The method used is document studies combined with mail interviews. The focus is upon the practical operation, to which counts: ?purpose & selection?, ?preparation, image capturing and processing?, ?metadata & text encoding?, ?quality assessment?, ?storage of digital originals and copies? and ?display?.

Bakgrund och mål: I dagsläget har Scania inget vedertaget samlat tillvägagångssätt för att, i den dagliga verksamheten, arbeta med riskbedömning av arbetsmiljöfaktorer. Scania har köpt ett riskhanteringssystem för bedömning av fysiska arbetsmiljörisker och vill undersöka om metoden är tillämpbar inom företaget. Modellen heter SARA- Samlad Riskbedömningar Arbetsplatser. Syftet med examensarbetet var att utvärdera Scanias möjligheter att arbeta kontinuerligt och systematiskt med riskanalyser av arbetsmiljöfaktorer enligt den metod som SARA beskriver och definierar och utveckla en anpassad version av SARA, utformad för Scanias förutsättningar. Den Scania-anpassade versionen av SARA fick den preliminära titeln WERA - Work Enivronment Risk Assessment.

Early extubation of cardiac surgery patients has become increasingly important. The assessment of the patient before an early extubation is crucial and the intensive care nurses (ICU nurses) in this estimation is there for very important.The aim of this study was to examine critical care nurses' knowledge of early extubation, and what view ICU nurse has about factors that affect the time to extubation of cardiac surgery patients.A quantitative approach with descriptive and comparative design was used. Selection was all ICU nurses at a thoracic intensive care unit who were clinically active in patient care.The study showed that ICU nurses had good knowledge of why an early extubation was essential. However, the knowledge about the unit?s extubation criteria was low.

The milk production per cow has increased considerably during the last 50 years and due to the breeding for higher milk production also brings decreased reproduction efficiency. In a Swedish study 1996 it was shown that on average only half of all estruses were detected. Every time a farmer fails to detect oestrus it costs the farmer about 1200 Swedish crones and the need of means of detecting oestrus is therofore large. With this study we wanted to investigate if heart rate respectively crystallisation of vaginal mucus (arborisation) could be useful means of detecting oestrus. We monitored two oestrus cycles in four heifers.

Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie var att beskriva arbetsterapeuters erfarenheter av att bedöma körförmågan hos personer med stroke. Den undersökta gruppen bestod av åtta legitimerade arbetsterapeuter som hade arbetat mellan två och femton år med bedömning av körförmåga. Klinikerna där arbetsterapeuterna arbetade var av varierande storlek och geografiskt utspridda över hela landet. Datainsamlingen genomfördes genom individuella semistrukturerade intervjuer och analyserades utifrån kvalitativ innehållsanalys och resulterade i tre kategorier: Intervjuns och det personliga mötets betydelse i bedömning av körförmåga, Bedömning av körförmåga består av flera komponenter och Teamsamverkans betydelse vid bedömning av körförmåga. Resultatet i studien påvisade betydelsen av den inledande intervjun och mötet mellan arbetsterapeuten och personen som bedömdes.

The purpose of this thesis is to build on the current debate on male circumcision and from thetwo perspectives, consequentialism and non-consequentialism, describe the conflict of rightsthat exists on the issue and outline a normative conclusion about whether Sweden should banmale circumcision of boys or not. The idea is to clarify how the two sides' approach to theconflicting rights differ on the issue. The perspectives intends to provide further clarity to thearguments and provide a framework to resolve the rights conflict by, which creates morefavorable conditions to understand the moral bearing of the arguments in the debate. Thesurvey is conducted as a debate analytical study, conducted by compiling and organizing thearguments for the various positions in the debate. Based on the two theories I conduct ancritical analysis in which I examine the extent to which the arguments of each side lives up tothe perspectives moral standards.

Njurbiopsi tas för att ställa diagnos och för behandlingskontroll av flera njursjukdomar. En del av sjuksköterskans arbete att förbereda och övervaka patienter. Njurbiopsi är förenat med risken att drabbas av en blödning vilken kan vara livshotande. I Sverige tycks vården vid njurbiopsi skilja sig åt mellan olika sjukhus. Det saknas en systematisk sammanställning av praxis.

Bedömning och betygsättning är ett ständigt diskuterat ämne inom lärarkåren och det finns inga tydliga svar på hur arbetet med det ska gå till. Syftet med denna studie var att, genom kvalitativa intervjuer, undersöka hur åtta lärare i ämnet idrott och hälsa arbetar med bedömning och betygsättning. Syftet uppnås med tre olika frågeställningar som rör lärarnas uppfattningar kring bedömning och betygsättning, bedömningar som ligger till grund för betygen samt vad som påverkar lärarnas bedömningar. Metoden som används i studien var av kvalitativ art och genomfördes med hjälp av semistrukturerade intervjuer.Den insamlade empirin analyserades med studiens utvalda teoretiska utgångspunkter som rör läroplansteori, ramfaktorteori och praxisgemenskapsteori (community of practice). Resultatet som framkom i studien var att lärarna upplevde en stor tolkningsfrihet när det kommer till läroplanen och hur undervisningen planerades.

Bakgrund: Grundläggande för välfungerande sjukvård är möjligheten att efter bedömning av patienten vårdbehov kunna prioritera och hänvisa till lämplig vårdnivå på ett snabbt och säkert sätt. Det är viktigt att det sker på gemensamma grunder oavsett hur den initiala kontakten sker. När patienten anländer till sjukhus via ambulans, är han/hon redan bedömd via triage av en specialistutbildad sjuksköterska. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att belysa vilka faktorer som är av betydelse för sjuksköterskans triagebedömning prehospitalt. Metod: Uppsatsen genomfördes som en kvalitativ litteraturstudie.
