The aim of this study is to illuminate images and discourses, in which media describe people with disabilities. The purpose of the study will be fulfilled, by answering the following questions: Is it possible to discern categories of how people with disabilities are described in the media and is it possible to find associations to handicap models? We have chosen to focus on how media describe people with physical impairments and have made a content analyses of articles, based on the theoretic aim of this study, social constructionism, handicap models and earlier research. Underlying the analyses, are six articles from two Swedish news papers. The results of our research are divided in three categories: assumptions which are taken for granted, hidden meanings and contradicted categories.

A tendency of impaired oral health has lately been seen among children and adolescents. The consumption of soft drinks and fruit juices is rising and at the same time many children and adolescents skip breakfast and lunch at school. That in combination with a frequent snacking increases the risk of caries. The aim of this study was to examine the knowledge of caries, oral hygiene- and dietary habits and experience of tobacco among 12-year-old schoolchildren. The study was performed in 5th grade in four different schools in the North East of Skåne in cooperation with the dental health board clinic in Näsby, Kristianstad.

Sedan 2005 ska företag pröva goodwills nedskrivningsbehov minst en gång årligen. Det här regleras i IAS 36 där det finns instruktioner om hur nedskrivningsprövningarna ska gå till. Dock har det i tidigare studier konstaterats att informationen som lämnas i anslutning till prövningarna inte är tillräcklig för att ge läsaren den användbarhet som bör finnas. Därför har författarna av uppsatsen genomfört en fallstudie med syfte att beskriva hur åtta företag motiverar sina nedskrivningsprövningar.Syftet med uppsatsen var att studera hur åtta börsnoterade företag som redovisar enligt IAS/IFRS värderar sin goodwill i samband med nedskrivningsprövningar. Tyngdpunkten låg på de motiveringar som låg till grund för värderingarna.Uppsatsen grundar sig på en kvalitativ fallstudie där årsredovisningar för åtta företag har studerats.

When being in preschool, I have come across children who I have had difficulties to really meet, and I have felt that the communication between me and the child has been deficient. Since I believe that the meeting of child and pedagogue is essential to learning and development, I find this an important subject of further study.The purpose of my study is to investigate if, and how, teachers regard a possible connection between language capability and behaviour. Furthermore I investigate how they work with language acquisition and communication, and what argument the pedagogues have for this work.To answer these questions I have interviewed two pedagogues who have great knowledge and experience of this subject, and also have special interest in children?s language and communication.In my literary review I give an account of how language acquisition is described in literature, and then compare it with how language impairment reveals. I also describe earlier research on how to work with language development, and what the national curriculum for preschools (Lpfö 98) say on this topic.The result shows that my informants divide in their view of how to connect language capability to behaviour.

There are more and more elderly people and different diseases will affect them. How will the public care be able to face this need of care for the elderly? There are a lot that shows that there will be an increasing demand on the achievements of the relatives. How can this development be answered to? Shall the achievements be concentrated on giving support to the relatives, or will there be a concentration on nursing staff? The purpose of the study was to enlighten who elderly people will be nursed by if a disease affects them.

Work has a great influence on most of individuals in society. It influences both identity as well as the structure of the day. Unemployed people are often affected in a negative way through economic and psychological problems. In order to help people with reduced work capacity back to the labour market and decrease unemployment, the Labour Market Board works with vocational rehabilitation. The aim of this study is to investigate experiences of vocational rehabilitation within the Labour Market Board among unemployed people.

Förståelighet innebär hur väl lyssnaren förstår vad talaren menar (Hartelius & Lohmander, 2008). Barn med språkstörning har ofta en nedsatt förståelighet (Nettelbladt, 2007). Föreliggande studie syftar till att undersöka huruvida det föreligger någon skillnad mellan jämnåriga barns och vuxnas förståelse av ett svårförståeligt barn med språkstörning. Icke-familjära lyssnare genomförde lyssnarbedömningar i form av ordidentifiering. Lyssnarna bestod av tio vuxna (22-67 år) samt elva förskolebarn (4;1-5;6 år).

Accounting has been critized for being one of the leading factors in the latest financial crisis. One of the primary problem areas was identified as delayed recogonition of losses on financial instruments. Consequently, a new impairment model is being developed and is to be namned expected loss model. The difference from the present model, incurred loss model, is that it takes losses into consideration on an much earlier level. Even though the model may be theoretically feasible, in practice it may implicate a number of issues.

Persons suffering from Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) struggle with complications within the functions that regulate and control the brain activities, due to deficiencies in these functions within the affected nerve-paths. ADHD is a cognitive function impairment characterised by inattention, impulsiveness and over activity. According to Diagnostic and Statistic Manual of Mental Disorders, American Psychiatric Association (DSM-IV), certain diagnostic criteria of ADHD must be fulfilled in order for a person to be diagnosed with ADHD. The everyday problems caused by ADHD are individual and medication can have positive effects relieving the person?s impairing behaviour.

ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to describe various methods of treatment and effects of treatment of ADHD, and to investigate wheater there is an association between adults with ADHD and obesity. Method:  Literature review. Twelve quantitative scientific articles were found in the data bases PubMed, Cinahl and MedLine.  Result: ADHD is a cognitive impairment that can lead to serious complications such as obesity. Studies show that drug treatments of adults with ADHD have positive effects in terms of reduced symptoms, increased efficiency and improved quality of life, but drugs can also cause side effects in form of loss of appetite and insomnia. For adults with ADHD and obesity drugs that affect metabolism have a significant impact on patients ability to lose weight.

SammanfattningBakgrund: Demens drabbar främst äldre och är en sjukdom där delar av hjärnan avvecklas. Personer med demenssjukdom får en nedsatt kognitiv förmåga och har svårt att minnas saker och utföra vardagliga aktiviteter. Många lider av ätsvårigheter vilket ökar risken för undernäring.Syfte:Att beskriva omvårdnadsåtgärder för att främja näringsintag hos personer med demenssjukdom.Metod: Studien är en litteraturstudie där sökningar i databaserna CINAHL,  PubMed och SweMed+  gjordes för att besvara syftet . Omvårdnadsåtgärder i artiklarna identifierades och kunde sorteras under olika kategorier och subkategorier.Resultat: För att främja näringsintaget hos personer med demenssjukdom identifierades fyra huvudsakliga åtgärder. De som lyftes fram var måltidssituation och matning, näringstillskott, miljöåtgärder och pedagogiska åtgärder.Slutsatser: Resultatet visar att vårdpersonalen har en viktig roll för att främja patienternas näringsstatus och kan tillgodose en gemytlig måltidsmiljö samt näringsrik och allsidig kost.

Syftet med studien var att belysa hur personer med synnedsättning upplever den fysiska miljöns tillgänglighet i samhället. För att besvara syftet valdes en intervjubaserad studie för att få en fördjupad kunskap inom området. Semistrukturerade intervjuer med nio personer utfördes ifrån två olika kommuner. Inklusionskriterierna för deltagande var att personerna skulle vara medlemmar av intresseföreningen, ha en synnedsättning samt vara i arbetsför ålder. Dataanalysen genomfördes utifrån en innehållsanalys och resulterade i fyra kategorier ?Upplevelser av miljöns bristande tillgänglighet?, Upplevelser av miljön som ett stöd för aktiviteter?, Upplevelser av hur välkända miljöer skapade tillgänglighet? och ?Upplevelser, konsekvenser och hanteringsstrategier av bristande tillgänglighet?.
