The objective of this report is to present a review of the studies which has been carried out up to days date concerning how temperature affects vegetables physiologically when it comes to their health inducing as well as quality reducing features. The essay therefore starts off with defining what is meant by the terms health promoting and quality reducing features. It then moves on to describe how different subspecies of Brassica oleracea, that is to say vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and kale, is affected by temperature. B. oleracea was chosen because the species contains several commercially interesting subspecies and therefore provides a broad field even though only one species is assessed.

Det finns många faktorer som påverkar folkhälsan. Människors inställning och hälsa påverkas ständigt av den omgivande miljön, samspel mellan människor men också av de faktorer som finns nära på grund av livsstil och arv. Fram till i början av 2000-talet var det vanligast att arbetsgivarna jobbade med förebyggande hälsoåtgärder där fokus låg på ohälsa och sjukdom (patogenes). Därefter har ett hälsofrämjande arbete som fokuserar på friskfaktorer (salutogenes) växt sig allt starkare runt om i världen. Forskning visar att fokus på hälsa leder till friskare personal men att det är svårt att få korrekta och mätbara resultat (Karlsson 2010; Goetzel & Ozminowski 2008).Arbetsgivaren Landstinget i Värmland har sedan 2010 utöver förebyggande systematiskt arbetsmiljöarbete satsat på att främja hälsan hos sina medarbetare utifrån det salutogena perspektivet.

Bakgrund: Rapporter och studier belyser utvecklingsbehovet inom hälso- och sjukvården avseende salutogena förhållningssätt. Få systematiska hälsofrämjande arbetsmetoder existerar samt att ett helhetsperspektiv där den enskilde patientens resurser tillgodoses, bör vara centralt. Denna studie avser att skapa ökad kunskap om hur arbetet med patientens resurser ser ut.Syfte: Syftet var att undersöka hur specialistsjuksköterskan i psykiatrisk vård identifierar, värderar och använder sig av resurser hos patienter med psykisk ohälsa.Metod: Kvalitativ design valdes för att ge svar på syftet. Datainsamlingsmetoden var intervju där sex specialistsjuksköterskor inom psykiatrisk vård deltog. Forskningsfrågorna besvarades via frågor av öppen karaktär.

This study aims to explore how a gardening project with elderly living in Djuröhemmet, a nursing home outside Stockholm, affected them regarding psychological well-being and their experience of participation during the planning and construction of the memory garden. The gardening project is new in its kind by allowing the residents to influence the design of the garden by sharing the project leader their gardening memories from previous parts of their life and by wishing for specific plants and items.  The method being used was qualitative interviews where we interviewed seven people living in Djuröhemmet who participated in all or parts of the project. The theoretical framework is Molins (2004) definition of participation, but also theories of meaningfulness, social needs and gerotranscendence were applied. The results indicate that the participants did not realize that their involvement during the planning helped developed the garden.

Placed within the field of recent research concerning religion and contemporary religious landscapes, this thesis aims to show conceptions of human life and body displayed in ten Swedish health magazines. The analysis aims to demonstrate the appearance of body and bodily experience and in addition see in what way ?westernized? religious traditions and methods from east Asia may contribute to perspectives of health. The main theories for the study are objectified versus phenomenological understanding of the human body by Drew Leder (1992; 1990) and Kristen Zeiler (2010). The quote in the main title is from the empirical material (Hälsa & Fitness, 2014 (11), cover).

ABSTRACT The aim of this thesis is to illustrate how surgical operation theatre nurses perceive debriefing within emergency health care. The study has a qualitative design with semi structured interviews that have been performed with seven operating room nurses working in emergency health care. The strategic selection consists of professional operation theatre nurses working in emergency care at Uppsala University Hospital. The main goal of this thesis is to increase the understanding of debriefing and to highlight the need of debriefing after difficult or unexpected events in the emergency health care profession.The interviewed nurses perceive debriefing as an important way to develop the day to day work, but also as a way to unburden the staff at the time of bigger traumas. Even though the effect of debriefing is not univocally positive in the literature, the staff perceives that it reduces different kinds of stress.

Hälso- och sjukvården har traditionellt arbetat kurativt. Tidigare forskning har visat att samhällsutvecklingen de senaste 20 åren, med högt tempo och stora krav, har resulterat i en ökning av stressrelaterad ohälsa, både nationellt och internationellt. Vinsterna med att arbeta hälsofrämjande är uppmärksammat i allt fler studier och det är därför av relevans att studera om Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), en förgrening av mindfulness, kan fungera som en effektiv och bidragande resurs för ett mer begripligt, hanterbart och meningsfullt liv. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att belysa de hälsofrämjande effekterna av MBSR. Tio artiklar valdes för granskning och utifrån artiklarnas resultat framkom två kategorier: Kortvariga hälsofrämjande effekter och långvariga hälsofrämjande effekter.

The purpose with this essay is to examine if the Swedish government?s intentions regarding to the mental health care reform, have been fulfilled. We have classified the intentions into three categories, regulation, financing and responsibility for organizing the policy.

We use this model as a tool to examine the fulfillment of the mental health care reform.
