Regardless of what discipline nurses work in, wound care is one of the tasks. Caring for wounds involves early detection of signs of infection, in order to avoid complication. Wound infection extends suffering for the patient and causes unnecessary costs for society. The aim was to describe how nurses can identify infection in wounds. Method: The design of the study was a literature review, where13 scientific articles were examined and analyzed.

Syftet är att undersöka hur lärare i årskurs ett till tre tar hänsyn till flerspråkiga barn vid undervisning av begrepp i svenska språket. Detta gällande val av arbetssätt och val av material för flerspråkiga barn. Samt hur lärarnas uppfattningar kring modersmålsläraren och fritidsledare är. Intervjuer har genomförts med tio lärare från två olika skolor. Resultatet visade att majoriteten av lärarna har likadant synsätt på hur lärare bör bemöta samt hur lärare ska arbeta med flerspråkiga barn.

Vårt syfte med detta examensarbete är att skapa ett egentillverkat studiehäfte för elever med svenska som andraspråk. Genom egna erfarenheter och möten med lärare har vi fått veta att det inte finns mycket färdigt material för dessa. Vår tanke är att den ska ge eleven chansen att lära sig om sitt nya land genom att se på skillnader och likheter mellan detta och hemlandet. Då vi framställt häftet ville vi se om läromedlet levde upp till våra förväntningar. Vi skickade ut delar av vårt material till tre lärare för varsin förberedelseklass i Skåne, med elever i olika åldrar. Responsen var mestadels positiv och lärarna upplevde motivation och entusiasm hos eleverna..

In this qualitative study of students? methods of calculating subtractions, I have used interviews, subtraction exercises and analysis of teaching material. The purpose of my study was to explore which methods students in grade three uses when calculating subtractions. I also wanted to highlight which strategies the students use and their comprehension of the concept of subtraction. In the study, I also highlight the different pedagogical ideas on which the teaching material is based on and the students? choice of methods.  The study shows that the students choose to use the methods?deduct? and ?kind of number? independently.

The purpose of this Master?s thesis is to present a survey of how Swedish libraries provide information services for children. In this thesis ?information? means non-fiction material and ?children? do not include preschool children. The method used is knowledge overview and the material (mostly Master theses in LIS published January 2001-June 2006) is related to user studies of children as information seekers.

Att använda laborativt material ger eleverna möjlighet att uttrycka sina kunskaper på ett annat sätt än i ett traditionellt arbetssätt. Det laborativa materialet är av stor betydelse då eleverna på olika sätt kan uttrycka kunskap med hjälp av materialet. Detta är en aktionsforskningsstudie gjord på två skolor i södra Sverige. Syftet med studien är att bidra med kunskap om hur elevers förmågor i matematik kan synliggöras för bedömning. Syftet växte fram genom det utvecklingsbehov som identifierades på våra VFU-skolor.

Systematic quality work in preschool ? How preschool teachers thinking and working with systematic quality work The purpose of this study was to investigate how Swedish preschool teachers thinking and working with systematic quality work. All Swedish preschools are required to work systematically with quality. This involves several steps that follow each other in a specific order. It includes following up, documenting and evaluating preschool activities.

The aim of this study is to investigate how new knowledge, discovered and translated by the archaeologist, is transferred to the public by examining the question posed to the archaeologist by ?la?nsstyrelsen,? the county administration office.Since there can be no mediation of knowledge without an understanding of its perception, I pay a visit to the cognitive sciences in order to answer what knowledge is and how it functions in regards to contract archaeological results.I argue that the current structure of mediation, in regards to archaeological knowledge, is in need of the same quality control that is demanded by the contractors in regards to standard archaeological procedures. When presenting archaeology to the public, consideration needs to be paid to the different targets groups of society. The importance of national directions rather than regional translations for mediation of archaeology is stressed by the author. This needs to be carried out through a change of the questions posed to the contracted archaeologists by the county administration in their ?fo?rfra?gningsunderlag,? the order specification for archaeological investigations. .

The purpose of this essay is to study the process of developing electronic subject guides for the Internet. Our focus is the content, structure and layout of the subject guide. The study has resulted in a number of guidelines that may be of help in the development of future subject guides. To achieve this purpose we have studied the existing subject guide at one of the faculties of the University of Lund, Sweden. We performed a series of interviews with the originators, and made a questionnaire for the users.

Textile Grid är ett undersökande textildesignprojektsom utforskar olika tekniker och material för atttänja på gränserna i textil. Utgångspunkten ärett enkelt rutmönster som översätts i teknikernatryck, väv och trikå. Rutmönstret fungerar som enkonstruktion i textilen och genom att jobba medkontrasterna mellan hårt och mjukt, samt rörelseoch stabilitet utforskas både textilens utseendeoch rörelse. Resultatet är fem material som viksoch formas efter sin egen konstruktion..

No matter what subject or which grade you are active in, the teachers in Sweden have incommon that they are provided with governing documents that states the guidelines and goalsregarding each subject. Along with these governing documents every teacher has to findmaterial that will be used as the foundation of the teaching. This thesis is a study of howSwedish history teachers define what material they are going to use in their teaching, andwhich the factors are that is affecting these choices. The question whether a child?s ethnicaland cultural background is a factor that affects this choice of material is concerned, as well aswhat is current in Sweden and the world.

During the last decades the evolution of information technology and the increasing ability to access information have been discussed in many ways. In the beginning the focus was on the technology but now the discussion is more and more about the use of information and how to develop knowledge out of it. There is an ongoing discussion about the difference between knowledge and information. The subject of this Master s thesis is to find out if and how the Swedish elementary school has written into its mission statements to help the pupils to become information literate. For this purpose I have examined literature about information literacy and pedagogic as well as legislation and other documents that control how the Swedish elementary schools work.

Background: The Swedish population is aging [1] and malnutrition is a common problem among elderly people [2]. A method called food registration is used to monitor the patients? nutritional intake, with the purpose of reducing the risk of patients deteriorating in nutritional status during hospitalisation. However, the current method is not satisfactory and many food registration lists are incomplete. [3-6] Thus, patients do not receive a qualitative nutritional care since the assessment of the patients? nutritional status is based on incomplete documentation.Purpose: The purpose of this master thesis is to increase the quality in the nutrition monitoring process in the geriatric units B72 and B74 at Karolinska University Hospital in Huddinge, Sweden.

Deta examensarbete undersöker slitaget i Växjöbostäders studentlägenheter genom att genomföra en enkätundersökning och att göra ekonomiska bedömningar av material för ytskikt.De ekonomiska bedömningarna görs med hjälp av livscykelanalys (LCC) och de material som analyserades var golv, väggbeklädnad och bänkskiva.Examensarbetet undersöker också andra faktorer som kan påverka slitage. .
