Ett skratt är den kortaste vägen mellan två människor : Betydelsen av humor i omvårdnaden
Bakgrund: Humor har länge ansetts som något välgörande och har under de senaste decennierna blivit ett ämne som det forskas allt mer om, trots detta förefaller det inte finnas nog med evidens för att implementera humor som ett verktyg inom dagens sjukvård trots de hälsofrämjande egenskaper humor anses besitta.Syfte: Syftet med examensarbetet är att belysa humorns betydelse inom omvårdnaden.Metod: En litteraturstudie där materialet från tio kvalitativa studier analyserades.Resultat: Resultatet presenteras i form av fem teman: humor förmedlar budskap, humor bygger goda relationer, humor som terapeutisk lek, humor som ett verktyg för att uppehålla rollen som den goda patienten samt när humor inte givit önskat resultat. Resultatet visar att humor är ett effektivt instrument för att stärka och skapa sociala relationer samt att humor har en hälsofrämjande verkan, men även att humor måste användas med tillförsikt då om det används fel även kan skada en social relation.Klinisk betydelse: Humor är ett bra instrument för att stärka patient-sjuksköterskerelationen och för att främja god hälsa i omvårdnaden. Det finns behov av mer forskning på ämnet humor för att stärka dess evidens som ett användbart instrument.Slutsats: Humor är användbart för både patienter och sjuksköterskor som kan brukas i många syften inom omvårdnaden..

Konstnärligt intrång : om att hävda sin rätt till plats i det offentliga stadsrummet
?Claiming the right to space? is an argument frequently used by street artists for justifying illegal art in the public space. The public city space as a room of democracy and right to free speech is by some people considered threatened by commercial interests, and street art has become a way to demonstrate disapproval towards this. Street art is illegal and often anonymously performed in our cities. It developed in the late 1970s from the urban graffiti scene in America, and has therefore a lot in common with the graffiti movement.

This thesis investigates the reception of middle literature novels among critics in Swedish newspapers and at Swedish libraries. Works by three authors were chosen as representatives for middle literature: Helen Fielding, Nick Hornby and Tony Parsons.

The result is compared with theories by literary sociologists as Jofrid Karner Smidt, Janice Radway, Erland Munch-Petersen and Staffan Bergsten among others.
