Stress bland ungdomar är något som går allt längre ner i åldrarna. Prestationskrav och konkurrens ökar och många ungdomar är rädda att inte räcka till vilket kan leda till stress. Syftet med studien är att undersöka vad som stressar ungdomar på det naturvetenskapliga programmet i gymnasieskolan och hur elevernas copingresurser verkar i förhållande till stressen. Studien bygger på ett flertal olika psykologiska teorier om stress och coping, däribland Krav-Kontroll-Stöd modellen, utvecklad av Robert Karasek och Thöres Theorell (1990), Lazarus och Folkmans teorier om coping (1984), Siegrist ansträngnings- och belöningsmodell (1996) samt Blumberg och Pringles (1982) prestationsteori. I studien deltog 64 elever på det naturvetenskapliga programmet i Luleå.

Bakgrunden: Sinne för humor är individuellt, är en del av personligheten samt kan vara ett viktigt verktyg i omvårdnadsarbetet. Humor kan vara en gratis medicin som rätt anpassad kan ha positiva effekter på patienten som att lindra smärta, ge avslappning och hjälpa patienten att skapa distans till svårigheter. Trots det inbjuder sällan sjuksköterskan till humor med patienten i omvårdnadsarbetet. Syftet var att beskriva sjuksköterskans möjligheter till och användning av humor i omvårdnadsarbetet. Metod för fördjupningsarbetet var en allmän litteraturstudie baserad på 11 kvalitativa och kvantitativa artiklar.

This master thesis in economics discusses the time use of today as well as the observed trends in time use over the last 20 years in Sweden. This is done by analysing time-use and consumption data at the microeconomic level, i.e. by explaining individual behaviour given the economic assumption of a rational behaviour. We reach the conclusion that the value of time is an important explanatory variable concerning the rationality in that time is used differently by different individuals and in the changed use of time. Furthermore, other variables such as social norms and the process benefit of a certain activity, i.e.

Background: Obesity is one of the fastest growing medical conditions both for children and adults. Children with overweight/obesity risk to be exposed to social discrimination and stigmatization from peers. Stigmatization is when the society labels an individual that deviates from what is considered normal behaviour. Purpose: The aim of this literature review was to describe potential stigmatization of children with overweight/obesity. Method: The study was carried out as a general literature review study.

Den biologiska studien har visat att värphöns genom domesticeringen förändrat och anpassat sina beteenden till att leva med människor. De har utvecklat en minskad rädsla för människor och en ökad stresstålighet. I denna studie har höns återhämtning efter en stressupplevelse studerats. För att se hur domesticeringen har påverkat återhämtningen jämfördes beteenden mellan raserna White Leghorn och red junglefowl. Frågeställningarna som användes för att undersöka detta var: Hur lång tid tar det innan höns återhämtar sina naturliga beteenden, ej stressrelaterade, efter en stressupplevelse? Finns det några skillnader i återhämtningen beroende av kön eller mellan raserna White Leghorn och red junglefowl? Resultatet visade inte på en specifik tid för återhämtning men på att en tydlig återhämtning förekom.

The aim of this study is to examine how ADHD is discussed in the Swedish mass media. We have examined 21 articles from Aftonbladet, Expressen, Dagens Nyheter, Göteborgs-Posten and Svenska Dagbladet. All articles are reviewed from the newspapers online edition.Theories used are Erving Goffman?s theory of Stigma and Michael Foucault´s theory of categorization as well as Göran Palm's, Renée Skogersson's and Anders R. Olsson's theories about mass media.

In this essay I examine how in seven different congregations that belong to the Church of Sweden the preparatory office is formulated in ways that differ from the form that is prescribed in the current service-book of the Church of Sweden. My purpose is to examine how and why the congregations have chosen these alternative preparatory offices. This I have tried to find out by reading the written instructions and/or homepages of the congregations, studying their orders of service and interviewing one pastor in each congregation.Before describing, comparing and commenting on the different ways these congregations have chosen to formulate their preparatory offices, I give a historical background to the preparatory office itself and how it is formulated/designed in the current service book of the Church of Sweden. I also describe the history and the introduction of the Kyrie.I then describe each congregation, trying to point out the main characteristics of it, then concentrating on the process that lies behind the urge to formulate an alternative preparatory office, the reasons for it and the results.One of the conclusions I draw is that in the congregations I have examined there is an ongoing discussion about and reflection on the advantages of including the Kyrie in the preparatory office. I also found that in the congregations there are different opinions about the words following the prayer of penitence - should they be words of direct absolution or words that speak about the promise of God's forgiveness? This discussion is closely connected to a discussion about what is the connection between the preparatory office and the holy communion/Eucharist.

Forming teacher teams is currently the standard way of organizing teachers in Swedish Compulsory Schools. This is the result of a process that started in the 1970s.Traditionally the culture of teaching has been one of isolation. Once the door to the classroom is shut, what happens behind the door is up to the teacher to decide. Over the past thirty years a lot of time has been dedicated to making fundamental changes in the way teachers interact with their colleagues. Today the idea of teachers forming teams is generally accepted but still the core of a Swedish teacher?s job is that of a lone worker.

Extensive cattle management was reintroduced in Sweden during the 1950´s and 60´s. Usually this term refers to suckler cows for meat production that is kept outdoors all year around. Suckler cow farms tend to become fewer but bigger over time. Still however most of the farms with beef cows are small. Extensive animal husbandry can lead to animals becoming shy which leads to difficulties when they are handled due to veterinary treatments, marking, transport etc.

ABSTRACT. Introduction: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a retrovirus which occurs worldwide and spreads between humans mainly through sex, from mother to child, blood and blood products and between injecting drug users. After been infected with HIV for a couple of years the final stage of the infection progress into Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), and there is no cure or vaccine, only medication that delays the development of the disease. Objective: The aim of this thesis is to examine the preventive work against HIV in Sweden, the groups at risk for getting infected and to highlight sexual attitudes and behaviours among adolescents and young adults. Method: A literature based study method was used and the material is based on scientific articles and reports from active actors within the field of HIV prevention.

The aims with the project were to investigate how forage consumption affect production and pigs behaviour around the feeding. This degree project was designed to follow 48 growing/finishing Hampshire*Yorkshire pigs, from 30-110 kg live weight, fed diets with or without 20 % forage inclusion. The pigs were divided in three groups due to dietary treatment. In the first group the pigs were fed 20 % of the energy in the feed ration by long grass/clover silage (LE) and the remaining 80 % by a cereal concentrate. Group two was fed chopped grass/clover silage mixed with cereal concentrate (HE) in the same amounts as LE.

Bakgrund: Palliativ vård definieras som vård som ges till patienter vid deras sista tid i livet och målet är att lindra patienters lidande och främja livskvaliteten. För att sjuksköterskorna ska kunna skapa god omvårdnad krävs kunskap, helhetssyn och förmågan att förmedla trygghet.Syfte: Att belysa sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att arbeta med palliativ vård.Metod: En systematisk litteraturstudie som inkluderade nio artiklar från tre olika databaser. Artiklarna analyserades utifrån kvalitativ innehållsanalys med induktiv ansats enligt Lundman & Graneheim (2008).Resultat: I resultatet framkom att palliativ vård är väldigt krävande för sjuksköterskor och det behövs mycket resurser för att de som arbetar inom detta område ska orka med sitt arbete. Huvudfynden presenterades i Sjuksköterskors professionella förhållningssätt, Innebörden av att arbeta med palliativ vård samt Sjuksköterskornas behov av coping-strategier.Slutsats: Sjuksköterskors personliga egenskaper och kvaliteter hade stor betydelse för att ge god palliativ vård. Stort behov av stöd i form av exempelvis handledning krävdes för att sjuksköterskorna skulle klara av att vårda patienter palliativt.

Feline odontoclastic resorptive lesion (FORL) is a tooth disease affecting both domestic and wild cats. Although FORL was described as early as the 1920´s, the etiology is still unclear. Several hypotheses have been presented but different studies have obtained contradictory results, and today there is no generally accepted etiology. Teeth affected by FORL are characterized by root resorption with progressive destruction of the tooth structure and alveolar bone as a consequence of clast cell activity. The disease is considered very painful when reaching a certain stage.

This thesis deals with the information-seeking behaviour of occupational therapists. Focus was on three different aspects of information-seeking behaviour. The purpose was to investigate how occupational therapists conceive of work-related information needs, their choice and use of formal and informal information sources and their use of the hospital library. Twelve interviews with occupational therapists were conducted at a rehabilitation clinic in a hospital. The theoretical frame consists of a general model of the information-seeking of professionals by Leckie, Pettigrew and Sylvain.
