Background: Sleep-disturbances in persons with Alzheimer´s disease are prevalent. They are characterized as increased frequency and duration of awakenings, decreased slow-wave sleep, REM-sleep and increase of day-time napping. Depression and lower quality of life are associated with sleep-disturbances. Altogether a significant source of stress for caregivers and an important factor in institutionalization. Non-pharmacological treatment alternatives are rare.Method: Single-case A-B-C design, with non-concurrent multiple baselines, a pilotstudy.Aim: To explore if an educational program on sleep, sleep disturbances and behavioural change directed towards caregivers improved sleep, depression and quality of life in persons with Alzheimer´s disease living at home.

Denna studie syftar till att underso?ka fo?rekomsten av estetiska uttrycksformer i ett urval av svenskla?rares undervisningsmaterial. Syftet a?r ocksa? att se i hur stor utstra?ckning som det estetiska fo?rekommer i relation till det som i uppsatsen bena?mns som det icke-estetiska, och vidare vill uppsatsen ocksa? underso?ka hur det estetiska skrivs fram och vilket va?rde det ges.Studien tar utga?ngspunkt fra?n John Deweys reformpedagogig, Gardners a?tta intelligenser samt Aristoteles kunskapsbegrepp techne och mimesis. Underso?kningen diskuteras utifra?n forskning som visar pa? kreativitetens och estetikens betydelse fo?r inla?rning i ljuset av forskning som talar om skolans tra?ningslogik och uppgiftskultur.Textanalys anva?nds som metodansats da?r 34 texter fra?n lektion.se analyserats.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine how the public libraries work towards SFI (Swedish For Immigrants) based on the views of the overseeing librarians. To study this we have asked the following research questions:What distinguishes the public libraries? work towards SFI according to the responsible librarians? What distinguishes the communication between SFI teachers and the librarians according to the responsible librarians? What opinions are held by the librarians in regards to their work with SFI?We have used a semi structured interview method with seven librarians in charge of the activities with SFI at small and medium sized public libraries in a rural area of Sweden. The theoretical framework is composed of Marianne Andersson and Dorte Skot-Hansen?s model for analysis of the local public library profile and the authors? definition of collaboration.

Detta är ett arbete som visar utvecklingen hos lärare i ett arbetslag som under två terminer har arbetet med temaenheter i NTA-projektet. NTA, Naturvetenskap och Teknik för Alla, är ett projekt som skall locka elever till ett naturvetenskapligt in-tresse. I projektet finns handledning till läraren och all materiel som behövs för arbete under tio veckor med en temaenhet. Syftet med arbetet är att undersöka vilka förändringar som sker inom ett arbetslag när ett nytt koncept tas in i den naturvetenskapliga undervisning. Tidigare forskning visar att framtidens lärare måste vara flexibla och kunna planera undervisningen efter en målstyrd läroplan.

When several production units provide a district heating network, water is pumped from different directions. When the flows from the plants finally meet in the network, the water can be completely still. These places are called zero flow zones. In district heating networks with several plants, which also have different supply temperatures, large and frequent temperature fluctuations can occur when the zero flow zones move. This may cause wear on the pipes, a phenomenon called low cycle fatigue.For this reason it is important to examine where and when zero flow zones that cause temperature changes occur.

The purpose of this essay was to review the literature and describe the patophysiology, diagnosis, microscopic and macroscopic appearance of aortic body tumors in dogs. The tumors originate from the chemoreceptor organs situated at the base of the heart. The chemoreceptor organs are neuroendocrine cells responsible for surveillance of changes in e.g. the blood pH. Aortic body tumors are rare and represent 7 % of the total cases of primary cardiac tumors in canines.

Syftet med denna studie är att kartlägga små och medelstora styckningsföretags förutsättningar och möjligheter vid en förändring av marknaden. Utifrån kartläggningen skall studien belysa vilka möjligheter som finns för ett företag gällande vertikal och horisontell integration eller avveckling samt olika strategier, nämligen kostnadsöverlägsenhet, differentiering och fokusering. Konkurrensökningen beror till stor del av dagligvarukedjornas ökade centralisering samt konsumentpackat kött (kpk) Centraliseringen av handelns kötthantering ändrar förutsättningarna för köttindustrin. Tidigare, innan dagligvarukedjorna infört konsumentpackat kött köpte butikerna ofta kött från lokala styckningsföretag. På grund av centraliseringen av daglivaruhandelns styckningverksamhet kan endast stora styckningsföretag leverera tillräckligt stora kvantiteter kött.

The purpose of this essay is to explore how social media affect the political orientation and commitment of youths. Three scientific questions highlight the purpose from different angles. The didactic perspective is discussed in the initial and closing discussion, and is analyzed in the corresponding chapter. Two methods are involved in the study; one survey and one interview with a focus group. The survey had a total of 98 respondents from four different classes, all in the first grade of upper secondary school.

Studies of the information needs of library patrons are necessary in order for the library to serve the community. Alas, studies of non-heterosexual persons are rare in the field of Library and Information Science in Sweden. This study aims at examining the information situation of women in same-sexed parenthood by means of analysing their situation as norm-breaking. The study is done through examining the specific information needs of this group, how they seek and receive information, what barriers they encounter and what function the library has in this information situation. A queer theoretical approach to heteronormativity in combination with McKenzie?s two-dimensional model of information seeking is used to perform a qualitative analysis of the material.

What causes people to move within and between certain places and not within and between others? How do physical outdoor environments affect the way people act and move? Do different environments generate different body language and mimics in the bodies that inhabit them? In my pursuit for answers to these questions I studied literature and initiated and took part in dialogues in the form of workshops, all of which has resulted into this thesis. My questions have initially arisen from reflections of my own environment and how it not only affects my mental condition, but also my actions. Drawing upon the hermeneutic term ?preconception? I trust that what we label ?truth? is constructed by our lived experience and the society we grow up in.

AimThe purpose of this study has been to examine attitudes towards dance in a broad sense, among Swedish schoolchildren. The study has been done with three different questions in mind: What do pupils think and express about dance? Are there any differences in attitude towards dance between girls and boys? And how do the pupils relate to gender conceptions in connection to dance illustrations?MethodEight pupils 12 ? 14 years of age have been interviewed separately during physical education lessons. During parts of the interviews dance illustrations were used in order to encourage the pupils in their discussions, especially when asked to relate to dance and gender conceptions. The statements have been interpreted from a gender theoretical perspective.ResultsMy interview study shows that male pupils to a larger extent than female pupils inhabit hostile feelings towards dance as part of physical education lessons.

The general objective of this qualitative study is to analyse and describe what people with psychiatric disabilities write on their blogs about their encounters with social workers. The questions the study is aiming to answer are: How do people with psychiatric disabilities describe their encounters with social workers? Do the informants describe instances of paternalism and advocacy? How do the informants describe their sense of meaningfulness, comprehensibility and manageability? The study is based on a theoretical framework in which empowerment and sense of coherence (SOC) are the key elements, along with the concepts of paternalism and advocacy as well as meaningfulness, comprehensibility and manageability. The research data was collected from blogs on to the blog forum Psykiatrin.blogg.se ? psykiatrins Robin Hood (meaning ?the Robin Hood of psychiatry?).
