Syftet med studien var att sammanställa vetenskaplig litteratur angående patienternas livskvalitet samt sjuksköterskans omvårdnadsåtgärder med avseende på orala komplikationer som är ett vanligt förekommande problem hos patienter inom palliativ vård. Våra frågeställningar var: Hur påverkar orala komplikationer livskvalitet hos patienter inom palliativ vård? Vilka omvårdnadsåtgärder kan sjuksköterskan utföra dels för att patienter ska bibehålla god oral status och dels för att patienternas resurser stärks och balansen mellan dagliga livets krav och inre respektive yttre resurser upprätthålls? Metod: En litteraturstudie baserad på elva vetenskapliga artiklar. Som teoretisk referensram valdes Carnevalis balansmodell, Dagligt liv - Funktionellt hälsotillstånd. Resultatet visar att fysiska besvär och psykosocialt lidande till följd av orala komplikationer påverkade patienternas livskvalitet i stor utsträckning.

In this degree project I have tried to analyse thoughts about what?s important in the future work among students that are leaving the Land and animal husbandry programme. I have also asked employer to understand to what degree they knew about the coming employees thoughts about the future.

I got 167 answers from students. 11 employer also were asked about their ideas conserning the students thoughts about their coming work. The questions where about wages, working environement, responsibility and further education. The questions were multiple choise.

The aim with my research is to illuminate the meaning of IKEAs settle in Haparanda, for the region Haparanda-Tornio, its economic growth and its inhabitants. The research has been carried out only through qualitative methods. Some interviews with a range of people from varying companies have been conducted.Haparanda is a smaller Swedish city situated in the north, on the border to Finland and to a city called Tornio. These two cities, Haparanda and Tornio, has realised they are stronger in pairs, so they initiated cooperation across the border. Haparanda-Tornio is not a region of historically welfare and well-being.

Syftet med examensarbetet var att undersöka hur synen på och tilltron till ämnet bild ser ut och undersöka bildämnets status. Problemformuleringen utgörs av dessa frågor: Hur ser rektorers syn på och förståelse av ämnet bild ut? Hur ser inställningen ut till den ökade digitaliseringen i ämnet bild? Hur ser rektorerna på bildämnets status? Detta undersökte jag genom en halvstrukturerad intervjumetod med sex stycken rektorer, samtliga verksamma i en och samma kommun med samma ansvarsområde. För att skapa en förståelse för hur traditionen för bild har sett ut så tecknade jag en historisk bakgrundsbild. Det resultat jag fick fram var att det finns en positiv inställning till ämnet bild men att det förekommer en ålderdomlig syn på ämnet och dess syfte i skolan.

AbstractThis thesis is a qualitative study that provides an insight into the Nordic offshore market, focusing on the North Sea and investigates indications of how the near future may develop in the area and how these developments may affect the Nordic seafarers. Questions central to the work are aimed primarily at how shipping companies, agencies and seafarers active in the offshore industry look at future activity in the North Sea, Nordic seafarers' status in the global labor market, and how today's employment conditions look like for seafarers in the global offshore industry. The majority of the information was collected through interviewes and questionnaires. The purpose of this study was to examine whether and how the expected development in the North Sea, in terms of availability of oil and gas, may have effect on the Scandinavian seafarers' future work prospects and employment conditions in the global offshore labor. The conclusions that have been drawn are that competition among seafarers in the offshore industry is higher 2015 than previous years (2000-2014) and are expected to increase.

According to Barclay (2001), behavioral interviews yield higher quality information, than other interview techniques. This study focused on whether the quality and quantity of information differ between structured interview and behavioral interviewing. Two headhunters held 16 job interviews with the two techniques, 9 behavioral interviews and 7 structured interviews. Both headhunters and candidates have evaluated the interviews quantitatively. Initial and concluding interviews have, as well, been held with the headhunters.  No definitive answers were found in the quantitative analysis, but the qualitative results suggest that behavioral interviews give, because of the headhunters opinions, more and higher quality information.

The religious school of thought that is involved in the control of Saudi Arabia is called Wahhabism and is a form of Islam that is usually accused by outsiders of being misogynist. This paper will deal with the founder of this alignment of Islam, Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, and his view of women in marriage. Another movement which in turn goes to work to lift the women's rights is Islamic feminists. Two branches of Islam who belief that Islam is the only right path to take for issues surrounding gender and life. In this essay, I will compare their respective interpretations of three points which concern the role of women in marriage; men's right to polygamy, men's higher status than the woman and the men's right to beat his wife.

This study explores the different effects on attitude and behaviour three frequently used advertising techniques have. The techniques compared are social influence and egoistic and altruistic benefit-appeals. The results showed that ads featuring social influence had statistically significant higher mean values regarding attitude towards the ad compared to both the other ads, and significantly higher mean values regarding brand attitude compared to the ad appealing to egoistic motivations. Though, all advertising effectiveness measures used in this study - that is, attitude and intention variables - indicated that social influence was more effective than the other advertising messages. Thus, in accord with earlier studies, it can be stated with confidence that social influence is an effective tool to use in marketing communications..

This paper deals with the connection between food and burial habits during the late Iron Age in present-day Sweden. The archaeological material used in the study consists of 16 potsherds from a burial site at Alsike hage, Alsike parish, in the province of Uppland in east-central Sweden. On these potsherds have been conducted FTIR- and GCMS-analyses, in order to see what types of food have been deposited in the burials. Furthermore, the result of the GCMS-analyses has been compared to contemporary material from both burial sites and settlement sites, in order to establish whether differences between the compared materials exist. The analyses show that there are differences between the material from burial sites compared with the material from settlement sites, but not any particular differences between the material from different burial sites.

Livestock animals affect their environment in a number of different ways, mostly through grazing and trampling. This study focused on the effects of Gotland pony grazing on forest structure and diversity, and the impact on ground cover. To compare the fenced and grazed area with a reference area outside the enclosure a number of transects were used. The study showed that there was no significant difference in height structure and diversity between the compared sites; however, there were a significantly higher proportion of damaged trees inside the enclosure. The ground cover variables showed a higher amount of bare soil, plant litter and wood-rush (Luzula sp.) inside the enclosure whilst grass was more frequent in the reference area.

Ohälsa till följd av övervikt och fetma har kommit att bli ett stort folkhälsoproblem i Sverige och stora delar av världen. Hälsosamma levnadsvanor så som en god kosthållning och viss grad av fysisk aktivitet främjar hälsan och förebygger samtidigt övervikt och fetma. Individers livsstil påverkas av en rad bakomliggande faktorer så som tillgänglighet, närmiljö och sociala kontakter. Studier visar på en ojämlik hälsa, där barn och ungdomar som bor i områden med låg socioekonomisk status i högre utsträckning har ohälsosamma vanor och beteenden än barn från andra områden. I denna studie gjordes sex individuella intervjuer med ungdomar i åldrarna 15-16 år.

Research indicates that a more hands-on education in mathematics could improve how students relate to mathematics. Laboratory mathematics is a way of making mathematics more concrete.  How is the purpose of laboratory mathematics perceived? This thesis has its focus on the pupils? perceptions of the purpose of laboratory mathematics, but the intention of the teacher involved is also investigated. The main research questions asked were:What is the teacher's definition of laboratory mathematics?Which is the teacher's purpose in using laboratory education?How do the students perceive the purpose of the laboratory teaching of mathematics?To answer the questions, I conducted a series of qualitative interviews.

Studies among parents of children with disabilities have shown that they experience a higher level of parenting stress as well as a lower degree of wellbeing, compared to parents of children without disabilities. However, there is a need to further explore parents? experience on this matter within a Swedish context. The aim of the current study was to examine how parents of preschool children, with and without disabilities, in Västerbotten, experience the impact of their child. A sample of 67 parents of children with disabilities and 134 parents of children without disabilities took part in the questionnaire study.
