This paper examines the existence of two different discourses on the causes of the wars in former Yugoslavia 1991-1995 in the editorial pages in Swedish newspapers. One discourse is titled "ancient hatreds" and explains the wars as a result of old historical ethnic conflicts typical of the "Balkans" and the second discourse, "poor political leadership," explains the wars as a result of deliberately conducted nationalistic policies by political leaders.Parallel to this discourse analysis is a media theory perspective of how news is selected and processed in the newspaper's editorial texts.The paper also examines the link between each discourse and a specific view on the necessity of foreign military intervention in former Yugoslavia.The starting point of the investigation are two high-profile events in 1995 and the impact they made in the 29 editorial texts in the metropolitan newspapers that were studied.The paper shows that none of the discourses clearly dominated in these editorial texts and that a clear link between a certain discourse and the advocated measure in the form of foreign intervention couldnÂŽt be established in the material as a whole. However, the four texts that clearly belonged to the "ancient hatreds" discourse were all in favour of foreign military intervention.The essay concludes that there is evidence of a medial feedback which means that the news to a high degree influences what is discussed in the editorials and that the evaluation and selection of news, is similar in all the studied newspapers..

Abstract Aim: Since there is a lack of research based educational interventions concerning the relationship between coaches and young athletes, the aim of this study was to implement and examine the effects of sport psychology intervention for coaches in a track and field club. The research questions were: What are the effects of an educational intervention for coaches, with focus on a motivational climate, on: A) the coachesÂŽ coaching approach B) their athletesÂŽ goal orientation and C) their athletesÂŽ perceived competitive anxiety?Method: The coach education stretched over two months and consisted of four two-hour lessons with focus on motivational climate, goal orientation and sport anxiety. Six coaches (three females, three males), aged 38-52 (M=44.33 years, SD=4.84) and their 59 athletes (27 males and 32 females) aged 12-14 (M=13.10 years, SD=0.82), participated in the study. A control group of 35 athletes (10 males and 25 females), of the same age (M=13.46 years, SD=0.70) and with similar demographic data, was also recruited.

AbstractAs human beings, we are all governed by our innate instinct that to kill another human being, or to just inflict pain on another, is to go against what makes us human. Still, it happens every day, far and near. Some of these killings happens in war-like situations, where atrocities against humanity occur. The international community has since the founding of UN in 1945, a duty to intervene where crimes against the human rights occur. This is a difficult task, because, in order to intervene and help those in need, the situation might postulate states violating states sovereignty.

Syftet med studien var att beskriva de erfarenheter som arbetsterapeuter och lÄngvarigt sjuka klienter har av kreativa aktiviteter som intervention inom arbetsterapi. En deskriptiv kvalitativ metod valdes för att besvara syftet. Data samlades in via semistrukturerade intervjuer med arbetsterapeuter samt genom en skriftlig frÄgestÀllning till klienter. UtifrÄn en latent innehÄllsanalys analyserades insamlad data vilket resulterade i ett övergripande tema, ?Kreativa aktiviteter anvÀnds som ett medel och ett mÄl inom arbetsterapi? samt tre kategorier, ?Ett medel som Àr avledande och underlÀttar samtal med klienten?, ?Ett medel att observera och trÀna klienters funktionsförmÄga?, samt ?Ett medel att hitta strategier som kan överföras till vardagliga aktiviteter?.

Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att undersöka om det fanns omvÄrdnadsÄtgÀrder för sjuksköterskor/barnmorskor att medverka till en minskning av alkoholexponerade graviditeter för fertila och gravida kvinnor. Goodmans systematiska metod anvÀndes för den metodologiska processen. Tio vetenskapliga artiklar granskades. Resultatet visar att det finns evidens för att kort intervention för fertila kvinnor med inslag av motiverande samtal har en signifikant reducerande effekt pÄ alkoholkonsumtionen och ökar anvÀndningen av effektivt preventivmedel. Dessutom visar resultatet att kort intervention för gravida kvinnor med motiverande samtal Àr effektivt för kvinnorna att avstÄ eller signifikant reducera alkoholkonsumtionen.

SpegeltrÀning Àr en ny och relativt oprövad metod för behandling av handskadade patienter. Behandlingen ger en illusion av funktion i en icke fungerande hand och metoden baseras pÄ forskning om hjÀrnans plastiska förmÄga som gör att kroppsuppfattningen snabbt kan förÀndras. Studien gjordes som en fallstudie och beskriver spegeltrÀning som arbetsterapeutisk intervention pÄ en patient med handskada. Patienten trÀnade med spegel i sex veckor. Handfunktion och aktivitetsförmÄga före respektive efter behandlingsperioden jÀmfördes.

Studien syftade till att undersöka hur lÀsförmÄgan, med avseende pÄ avkodning av enstaka ord samt lÀsning av sammanhÀngande text, hos sex elever med avkodningssvÄrigheter, pÄverkades av en Ätta veckor lÄng intervention med trÀningsprogrammet BRAVKOD, samt hur eleverna upplevde arbetet med metoden. Studien genomfördes som en intervention med för- och eftertest samt med hjÀlp av en enkÀt och ett efterföljande samtal. Testresultaten behandlades kvantitativt och enkÀterna med de tillhörande samtalen utgjorde ett kvalitativt komplement till testresultaten.PÄ de tester som avsÄg att mÀta avkodningsförmÄga av enstaka ord förbÀttrades interventionsgruppens resultat mer Àn kontrollgruppens pÄ samtliga test utom ett. Störst förbÀttring kunde ses pÄ avkodningshastigheten, medan korrektheten var svÄrare att pÄverka. Den del av studien som handlade om att undersöka lÀsflyt, visade inga framsteg för interventionsgruppen i jÀmförelse med kontrollgruppen.

HÀlsofrÀmjande arbete syftar till en hÀlsosammare livsstil för individen. En förutsÀttning för att uppnÄ det Àr att individen Àr motiverad. Motivation definieras som ?de faktorer hos individen som vÀcker, formar, och riktar beteendet mot olika mÄl?. VÄren 2012 utfördes ett projekt vid namn ?Aktiva studenter 2012? som syftade till att fÄ inaktiva studenter vid LuleÄ tekniska universitet mer aktiva och hÀlsosamma.
