Betydelsen av kön och sexualitet i mötet med sjukvårdsrådgivningen.
SammanfattningDetta är en studie av sjuksköterskors bemötande av patienter på Sjukvårdsrådgivningen i Region Skåne. Syftet är att undersöka hur det helhetstänkande som är vanligt förekommande i teoretiska debatter om sjukvården är förankrat i den praktiska verksamheten. Jag fokuserar på bemötande som kompetens, och studerar dess plats och auktoritet i organisationen. Jag undersöker även hur helhetstänkandet praktiskt fungerar i mötet mellan sjuksköterska och patient genom att fokusera på hur kön och sexualitet synliggörs och beaktas i samtalen.Jag utgår från Judith Butlers teori om den heterosexuella matrisen och om hur kön och sexualitet görs genom social interaktion. Jag använder mig också av intersektionalitet som ett analysverktyg.
Risken för spridning av röta vid förröjning i granskog i södra Sverige :
Root rot causes large economical losses for Swedish forestry. The spread of root rot can partly be prevented by treating the spruce stumps in thinnings. Late pre-commercial thinning (PCT) is one of the forestry measures where stump treatment is not used. Late PCT can be defined as: The act of cleaning the stand with the aim of improving accessibility and sight within the stand, and so to increase the mean stem´s volume during the first conventional thinning.
The aim of this study was to examine how late PCT is performed, its spatial extent and if it aids the spreading of root rot. The study was limited to encompass late PCT before first conventional thinnings in spruce stands in southern Sweden.
Samples of spruce stumps were taken from four stands where late PTC had been carried out.
MOTIVERANDE SAMTAL I V?RDEN AV PATIENTER MED OBESITAS OCH ?VERVIKT I SYFTE ATT ST?DJA VIKTNEDG?GN - EN LITTERATURSTUDIE
Background: Obesity has expanded to a nationwide issue that affects millions of people. The
healthcare system struggles to handle the epidemic as the problem grows. Studies show that
healthcare workers have negative attitudes toward obese and overweight people and that they
lack knowledge and proper tools to support this patient group. Motivational interviewing
(MI) is a known technique for initiating lifestyle changes with patients.
Aim: The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of MI as a tool for weight loss and sustainable
lifestyle changes for people with obesity and overweight.
Method: This study uses a literature review methodology with a systematic perspective. Data
is gathered and analyzed to investigate how MI affects weight loss.
Att vara patient med HIV: erfarenheter av möten med sjukvårdspersonal : En systematisk litteraturstudie
Bakgrund: Humant Immunbrist Virus (HIV) är en infektionssjukdom som angriper kroppens immunförsvar vilket leder till att det stegvis försämras och slutligen helt avtar. Historiskt sett har patienter med HIV blivit diskriminerade i samhället och orättvist behandlade. Joyce Travelbee?s omvårdnadsteori tar avstånd från en generaliserande människosyn och förespråkar att se individens unika egenskaper, och sjukvårdspersonal ska enligt lag möta patienter med lika värde och lika vård oavsätt diagnos. Syftet är att beskriva erfarenheter som vuxna patienter med HIV har av möten med sjukvårdspersonal.Metod: En systematisk litteraturstudie.
Spatt relaterad till tarsalledens vinkel
The effectiveness of Phlebiopsis gigantea to prevent spore infections from Heterobasidionannosum and Heterobasidion parviporum on hybrid larch stumps were investigated in fivestands in southern Sweden. All sites are former forest land and the age of the trees wasbetween 9 and 13 years.The study was implemented in August 2010, a month where spore dispersal should be great.The five sites were located in previously un?thinned monocultures of hybrid larch. The sporeload in the air was studied with the help of spore traps from three different tree species;Norway spruce, Scots pine and hybrid larch. A total of 146 spore traps, evenly distributed inall five sites were analyzed.
A retrospective study of bitches with pyometra and mucometra medically treated with aglepristone
Pyometra is a common and life threatening disease of intact bitches. The disease is caused by a hormonal influence on the uterus in combination with a bacterial infection. The most common treatment is ovariohysterectomy, but several medical options are available to maintain fertility or avoid surgery and anaesthesia. Drugs that can be used for medical treatment are for example progesterone-receptor antagonists, prostaglandins and dopamine agonist. The present study focused on treatment with the progesterone-receptor antagonistaglepristone in combination with antimicrobial therapy.
Distriktssköterskors följsamhet till basala hygienrutiner : En Observations- och enkätstudie
Enligt Socialstyrelsen (2011) avlider cirka 1 500 människor årligen i Sverige på grund av vårdrelaterade infektioner. Den viktigaste åtgärden för att förebygga vårdrelaterade infektioner är att arbeta utifrån basala hygienrutiner (Socialstyrelsen, 2006). Det är idag oklart hur följsamheten till basala hygienrutiner ser ut inom primärvården i Sverige och bland distriktssköterskor. Syftet med studien var att undersöka distriktssköterskors följsamhet till basala hygienrutiner inom primärvården. Studien var baserad på strukturerade observationer och en enkät.
PLA som metod för detektion av bornavirusinfektion hos katt
A method for intra vitam detection of bornaviral infection and diagnosis of bornaviral dis-ease in the cat is currently lacking. The aim of this work was to explore the possibility of using the proximity ligation assay (PLA), with its capacity of recognizing femtomolar con-centrations of a protein, as a method for detection of the minute quantities of antigen and antibodies that are present in the tissues and body fluids of a bornaviraly infected cat. For this purpose reliable comparative assays, in the form of an ELISA and an IFA, had to be established. When this proved impossible within the time frame of the project, the aim of the study had to be abandoned, further underscoring the need for improved means of detec-tion of bornaviral antibodies and antigen..
Kryptosporidieinfektion hos nötkreatur : utvärdering av en ny metod för påvisande av subklinisk infektion
Cryptosporidium parvum is a protozoan parasite causing diarrhoea in many different animal species including cattle and man. It is an important enteric pathogen in neonatal calves and it is the second most common pathogen found in diarrhoeic calves in Sweden. Subclinically infected adult cattle have, in international studies, been shown to shed a low number of oocysts in faeces and this has been recognised as a potential source of infection for new-born calves. The detection methods used for diagnostic purposes are based on microscopic investigation of faecal smears. These methods have a fairly low sensitivity and samples from subclinically infected cattle have to be concentrated before analysis.

Misstags reducering vid internationell order : En utredande rapport om Eaton Corporation i Hengelo Nederländerna och GE Healthcare i Uppsala Sveriges åtgärder för misstags reducering på Front Office
Rapporten utreder de speciella karaktärsdragen en kundanpassad produktion har på företagen Eaton Corporation, Hengelo i Nederländerna och Ge Healthcare, Uppsala i Sverige. En djupgående utredning av vad företagen i fråga gör för att reducera misstag vid internationell order. Alltså det som sker från att säljavdelningen får kontakt med kunden till att Projektledare/orderhanterare får beställningen. Fallgroparna vid internationell order som tas upp är t.ex.: kunskapsgap från säljsidan, inga standardiserade dokument för order, skräddarsydda lösningar utan moduler i ERP systemet, ERP system som inte uppdateras systematiskt, kundanpassade produkter, budgeteringsmall beroende på ERP system och vilket land budgetering sker i, restriktioner i ERP systemet, kommunikationsprotokoll mellan berörda avdelningar, integrationen mellan de berörda avdelningarna, kommunikation mellan de berörda avdelningarna och kundens inblandning i projektet. Det som syns genom studien är att företagen är fullt medvetna om att det sker misstag vid Front Office men väljer att inte kvantifiera eller analysera sina misstag.

Biological control of powdery mildew in greenhouse produced cucumber : an evaluation of two microbiological control agents
Powdery mildew is a serious problem in both field and greenhouse cucumber production and
can cause serious infection and radically reduced yields. Today, powdery mildew is the main
disease in greenhouse produced cucumber.
Disease control should preferably be both efficient and environmentally friendly, which is not
easy to achieve at all times. Alternatives to chemical control of powdery mildews are biological
control, physical control, non-fungicide control and cultivation of resistant or tolerant varieties.
Biological control can be described as the suppression of damaging activities inflicted
of a harmful organism by one or more other organisms, which are called antagonists or natural
enemies. In Sweden, there are currently no registered biological control products available
to control cucumber powdery mildew.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of two biological control products in order
to evaluate their ability to prevent or reduce powdery mildew infection to an acceptable level
in greenhouse produced cucumber. In the experiments, different application regimes were also
studied.
