The starting point of this essay was the frustration I felt after having read the novel Nadja (1928) written by the French surrealist André Breton. The title promises the story of someone called Nadja but the promise stays unfulfilled. Recognition of this phenomenon, where a man writes a book about a woman, but the woman hardly is seen, made me want to examine it further.Using the theories of the French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan I analyze the relation between the male narrator and his female object. I also compare Nadja to a precursor: the novel Bruges-la-morte (1892) of the Belgian symbolist writer Georges Rodenbach. Their stories are, to a large degree, similar.

 The english name of this essay is ?One man among many women?. This essay takes its starting point in the situation today with few male teachers in the earlier years of elementary school. I have decided to look at the small group of males that actually started the education to become teachers and why they did it when the profession as teacher today is low-paid, low status and is a profession with a large dominance of female teachers. I have chosen to write about this because of the importance for the children to meet both men and women as teachers in the early schoolyears.

Bakgrund: Omhändertagande och omsorg ses vanligen som en uppgift för kvinnor, vilket gör att rollen som sjuksköterska kan vara svår att hantera för män. Andelen män i vården har under de senaste decennierna förblivit låg. Det finns idag en påtaglig önskan att jämna ut könsskillnaderna inom sjuksköterskeyrket. Ett viktigt steg i att attrahera män till sjuksköterskeutbildningen är att skapa tilltalande miljöer för den manliga sjuksköterskestudenten. Metod: Empirisk studie med kvalitativ ansats. Som datainsamling genomfördes intervjuer. Materialet analyserades med Graneheim & Lundmans kvalitativa innehållsanalys. Syfte: Att undersöka hur manliga sjuksköterskestudenter i ett kvinnodominerat yrke upplevde bemötandet från patienter och kollegor under sin verksamhetsförlagda utbildning (VFU). Resultat: Det framkom att manliga sjuksköterskestudenter generellt upplevde bemötandet positivt från såväl patienter som kollegor. Dock lever många traditionella uppfattningar av att män är läkare och kvinnor sjuksköterskor kvar hos huvudsakligen patienter som gör att manliga sjuksköterskestudenters omvårdnadskompetens kan bli i ifrågasatt. Konklusion: Studien indikerar på att det goda bemötandet som manliga sjuksköterskestudenter upplever är på grund av att de är eftertraktade och män blir därför en uppskattad minoritet.

This study aimed to find out whether or not gender related theories regarding the division between men and women can be applied to three novels written by Katrina von Bredow, Syskonkärlek (1991), Som jag vill vara (2007) and Flyga högt (2011). The theories used in this research were Yvonne Hirdman?s theory and R.W Connell?s theory. Hirdman claims that there are differences between men and women at different levels in the society while Connell believes that this is a myth because, according to the writer, men and women are psychologically similar. The intent with this research was to provide a gender analysis of Bredows novels, because these novels have not been studied previously.

Telephone counselling has been around for more than forty years and remains a widely accepted communication support, both in the primary care and the outpa-tient departments of our hospitals. In many cases, this form of communication might be the only way in which the patient will have contact with the health ser-vices, primarily the nurse. In this study, the authors have chosen the word com-munication support as a generic name for the various technology tools, which are already present or in the future, might be an important link between the patient and the nurse. The aim of this study was to examine which communication sup-port that is available and patients´ perceptions of those and the patients´ percep-tions. Our patients can sometimes be affected by their illness, which means that their perception might be influenced and the advices or the prescriptions given by telephone will not be correctly perceived.
