Sexuality contains more than just reproduction and is an important part of quality of life. Chronic disease can lead to sexual dysfunction for both males and females. The nurse plays an important role in informing and teaching. Throughout dialogue and observations the nurse can detect possible problems, document and then take measures. The study was performed as information retrieval of literature where the cause was to highlight sexuality for patients that have experienced a myocardial infarction.

This thesis aims to investigate the information effects of fair value accounting in Nordic real estate companies. As a consequence of the mandatory IFRS adoption in the European Union in 2005, listed Nordic companies are allowed to recognize investment property at fair value in accordance with IAS 40. Theory suggests that fair value accounting should lower information asymmetry. Therefore, this study aims to examine correlation between fair value accounting of investment property and information asymmetry on the stock market. To investigate this, we use bid-ask spread as a proxy for information asymmetry and examine Nordic real estate companies before and after the implementation of IFRS.

Web pages are visited through a variety of different devices with varying screensizes. One method for adapting web pages to this variety is called responsive design. Geographical information, often in the form of embedded maps, is common on the web. The combination of responsive design and geographical information has been shown to lead to interaction problems and is therefore assumed to need special considerations. This thesis examines this combination and investegates how presentation of geographical information can be adapted to responsive web design.

This report was made for the company HordaGruppen AB to investigate how information security was handled. This report fits in the Master program of Internet Technology at School of Engineering in Jönköping University in Sweden.The question at issue was how you protect your information against different threats. One question was how to make an information security policy and which guidelines you can follow in the Swedish Standard, SS-ISO/IEC 17799:2000.Another question was to investigate the information sources at the company and which threats there are against it.The work begins with a presentation about information security for the chief of information and the chief of quality in the company. The next thing was to do a survey of as thing are at present with a tool from Länsteknikcentrum called ?Infosäkpulsen?.

The Swedish traffic system is congested, especially in the urban areas; travellers face daily growing traffic jams and delays in public transport. In a congested traffic system, travellers need support to make smart and sustainable decisions and one such tool is traffic information.One issue today is that too few travellers use traffic information in support of their travel. Research shows that travellers would see great value in receiving the information; however current systems do not meet their requirements. This is a problem since the society would benefit greatly from a well functioning traffic information system.In this report, a number of channels that can be applicable for providing traffic information will be explored, with particular emphasis on interference information.The information channels are analyzed based upon the needs and requirements of the society and the traveller. The thesis of the report is: the more of these needs and requirements are met in a channel; the better is the channel to use for traffic information.

Studies in the field of interaction design and the human memory claim there can be positive effects on the memory when information is presented for the user as a graphical pattern rather than a series of numbers. This thesis aims to influence designers to choose graphical patterns as an interface for information display. Low-fi and hi-fi prototypes of graphical patterns were constructed and tested in a variety of configurations by two users. The users showed differences in the ability to memorize a sequence of digits depending on how this sequence was presented. This study suggests that users are more easily able to recall information presented via a graphical user interface than when the same information is only presented digitally..

Syftet med denna uppsats var dels att kartlägga vilken professionell hjälp våldsamma män kan få i Stockholms län samt hur dessa verksamheter förklarar problemet mäns våld mot kvinnor i nära relationer. Undersökningen består delvis av webbaserad information samt sju halvstrukturerade intervjuer med verksamheter där alla var professionell utbildade i socialt arbete. Resultaten analyserades utifrån ett strukturellt, socialpsykologiskt och individuellt perspektiv. Andra teorier som har använts är de som handlar om relationsvåld och maktlöshet med olika orsaksförhållanden såsom samhällsrelaterade och våldsrelaterade. Även en samarbetsmodell, samt tidigare forskning användes vid analysen av resultaten.

Bakgrund: Majoriteten av de epidemiologiska studierna visar på en ökning av hjärtsvikt över hela västvärlden. I takt med att antalet patienter med hjärtsvikt ökar kommer också vårdpersonalens behov av att förstå hur hjärtsviktspatienter lever med sjukdomen att öka, vilket är en förutsättning i processen för patienten att anpassa sig till sjukdomen och dess påverkan på det dagliga livet.Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att beskriva hur patienter med hjärtsvikt upplever att sjukdomen påverkar det dagliga livet.Metod: Litteraturbaserad studie med grund i kvalitativ forskning som följer Friberg (2006) metod för analys där 14 artiklar granskades.Resultat: Fem teman identifierades: (1) en ny och osäker situation, (2) förändringar i patientens psykiska och fysiska förmågor, (3) förändringar i det sociala livet, (4) anpassning och acceptans i situationen med ny mening och identitet, (5) ångest kring döden och sjukdomens oförutsägbara natur. Att leva med hjärtsvikt karakteriserades av påfrestande symtom, begränsningar av de dagliga aktiviteterna, förändringar i sin identitet och det sociala livet samt ångest kring döden och sjukdomens oförutsägbara natur.Slutsats: Upplevelse av hälsa och livskvalitet är individuellt. Tydlig information om sjukdomen och egenvård till patienten är nödvändigt för bättre kontroll, upplevelse av hälsa och livskvalitet..

A good flow of information in organizations is one of the key aspects of how we define a well-functioning organization. The information flow could be internal as well as external between actors within as well as outside of the organization. In a logistics organization this flow of information is equally important as in any other kind of organization. In this paper we have explored information flows in logistics organizations by applying, boundary spanning and the mobile-stationary divide perspective. In boundary spanning the main goal is to erase or relocate some of the boundaries within an organization, in our case to make the flow of information internally as well as externally better.

The aim of this study was to investigate whether the Swedish Institute of public health care uses paternalistic information in their alcohol publications. My intention has also been to examine to what extent the paternalistic information is being used. This is determined simply by how frequently paternalistic information is found in the publications. I chose to analyse five publications that contain alcohol related information and had a clear motive. My results show that all five publications use paternalistic methods with the intention to change readers, or people in their surroundings, alcoholic behaviour. Though this is quite a small essay, I have suggested extended research of the subject ? preferably of all 176 alcoholic publications presented by the Institute of public health care..

The purpose of this thesis is to examine Skogsstyrelsens event Skogens Dag as an information channel by looking at information use and information behaviour during the communication process of the event. This is done by examining the aims of Skogsstyrelsens information distribution during the event in relation to its outcomes. The evaluation is focused on long term effects on the target group and it is restricted to Skogens Dag in Borås 2005. The question this thesis intends to answer is: How does the event Skogens Dag function as a tool for information distribution? The theoretical background gives an account of the communication process as well as the relevant aspects of marketing, social marketing, campaigns and public relations, as these are communication attempts that can use an event as a medium.

The management of assets in organisations today can be a challenging task and optimising their usage is critical to ensure maximum profit. For rental businesses offering tangible products efficient management of movable assets are an essential part of the business strategy. The main purpose of this study is to investigate how asset management and asset information management can be carried out in rental businesses and in what ways information technology can support it. By doing a literature review combined with a case study where three rental businesses and their use of information technology were examined we could identify several important aspects regarding asset information management. The results we have found is that rental businesses with a high degree of digitization in existing asset information management systems are able to rationalize existing work processes, which in some ways changes the roles of employees.

Bakgrund: En stor del av alla patienter opereras idag dagkirurgiskt vilket innebär att operation och utskrivning sker samma dag. Patienterna vistas därför allt kortare tid på sjukhuset vilket innebär att mötena mellan sjuksköterska och patient också blir korta. Det är den perioperativa sjuksköterskans ansvar att ge en god omvårdnad till den dagkirurgiska patienten för att han/hon ska känna sig trygg, delaktig och välinformerad. För att kunna utveckla och förbättra den perioperativa omvårdnaden är det viktigt att få ta del av patientens upplevelse av denna. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att beskriva patientens upplevelse av den perioperativa omvårdnaden i samband med ett dagkirurgiskt ingrepp vid en öron- näs och hals klinik. Metod: Studien genomfördes som en intervjustudie med sex patienter.
