Det övergripande syftet med den här uppsatsen var att undersöka bildlärares upplevelser av värdegrundens förankring i bildundervisningen med fokus på moral, etik och demokrati, men också om bildlärare kan uppleva eventuella motsättningar mellan å ena sidan yttrandefrihet och å andra sidan etiska begränsningar i diskussioner kring bilder och i bildskapandet. Förutom att ha genomfört en kvalitativ undersökning i form av intervjuer så har jag för att nå fram till syftet med min undersökning gjort en litteraturstudie.Resultatet visar att bildlärarna har värdegrunden enligt Lpo 94 förankrad i sin undervisning. Värdegrunden kommer till uttryck både genom diskussioner och i det konkreta bildarbetet. Det sistnämnda ofta i form av olika teman som berör värdegrundsfrågor. Värdegrunden konkretiseras också genom diskussioner som berör demokrati, etik och moral.

Aim Our aim is to highlight perceptions of fibromyalgia among health care personell.MethodsA systematic literature review conducted with a deductive approach.FindingsHealth care personell felt insecure because of a lack of understanding which lead to avoiding contact with these patients. Many felt that the fibromyalgia patient was categorised and that they would have been better served with another name of their disease. There was a great distrust against the diagnosis and its aetiology. The patient was perceived as troublesome, illness-fixated and draining the personell of energy. The paradox that the patient is looking so healthy but bearing so much pain was confusing for the health care personell.Conclusions Communication and an empathic encounter was identified as important elements for patient care.

The aim with this study was to examine what it is that govern the way that municipalities develop the non-institutional care for youth. An extensive development of non-institutional care for children is a visible trend in municipal social service and probable reasons for this development are, among other things, research that show inadequate results of the institution care and economy. Our main questions at issue were how the municipalities argue the priorities that have been done within their youth care services with regard to the non-institutional care and how they reason considering this? Furthermore we asked why the municipalities have chosen to develop their non-institutional care for youth the way they have and on what grounds they make their choices? This study consists of eight qualitative interviews with politicians and employees in four different municipals along with analysis of relevant documents. We have found that what governs the way that municipalities develop the non-institutional care for youth has to do with that the municipalities found it vital to find alternative solutions to the expensive and ineffective institutional care, that they comprehend that the quality of non-institutional care are higher then of the institutional care and that the non- institutional care is seen as more effective with regards to economic results and achieved treatment results.

Vården som utförs på intensivvårdsavdelningar präglas av övervakningsutrustning vilket kan medföra svårigheter för de närstående att komma nära den som vårdas. De gånger när livsuppehållande behandling inte räcker till tar vården en annan riktning och övergår till palliativ vård på IVA. Som omvårdnadsansvarig för patienten befinner sig intensivvårdsjuksköterskan ofta nära de närstående. För att kunna främja mötet med närstående behövs en förmåga att kunna sätta sig in i de närståendes livsvärld. Studiens syfte var att belysa intensivvårdssjuksköterskans upplevelse av att möta närstående till patienter där livsuppehållande behandling avvecklats och övergår till palliativ vård på IVA.

Why does the concept of virtue deepen our understanding? It is argued that our theoretical perceptive of empowerment needs to better encompass values, norms and practise.
