Den här studien berör några av de miljöpsykologiska grunderna i Alnarps Rehabiliteringsträdgårds uppbyggnad. Den ger förslag på hur karaktären rofylld kan förstärkas och hur säsongen kan förlängas i den restorativa delen av välkomstträdgården med växter som tilltalar flera av våra sinnen. Deltagarna som kommer till trädgården har i regel stressrelaterade åkommor såsom utmattningssyndrom och har varit sjukskrivna en längre tid. De är ofta mycket känsliga på grund av fysisk och psykisk utmattning. Studier visar att deltagarna har behov av en kravlös miljö där de kan få vara ostörda.

Såväl sociologer som etnologer, antropologer och historiker har sedan tio år pekat på en social förändring i västerlänningars identitet, värderingar och levnadsmönster de senaste decennierna. Det har beskrivits som en ?ekonomisering? av vardagslivet, att vi idag lever i en kultur som präglas av konsumism mer än något annat. Här utförs en intertextuell diskursanalys av innehåll från två av Sveriges största dagstidningar under åren 1972, 1986 och 2006, med syftet att spåra den förändrade mediala framställningen av den ekonomiska verkligheten för läsaren och dennes förhållande och relation gentemot samhället, ekonomin och sig själv som ekonomisk aktör. Med årens gång blir innehållet som handlar om hur individen skall/bör hantera sina pengar allt större, samtidigt som hur en talar om spelvinster och finansiella klipp blir närmast identiska.

Titel: Negative campaigning: En kartläggning av politiska annonser i Dagens NyheterFörfattare: Olle Berntson och Eric SäweUppdragsgivare: Institutionen för journalistik, medier och kommunikation vid Göteborgs UniversitetKurs: Kandidatuppsats i medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap på Institutionen förjournalistik, medier och kommunikation vid Göteborgs Universitet.Termin: Höstterminen 2014Handledare: Gabriella SandstigSidantal: 31, inklusive bilagorSyfte: Att kartlägga omfattningen av negative campaigning i svensk dagspress under andra hälften av 1900-talet.Metod: Kvantitativ innehållsanalysMaterial: Annonsmaterial i Dagens NyheterHuvudresultat: Våra resultat visar att omfattningen av negative campaigning i svensk dagspress över tid har minskat. Andelen negative campaigning hade en tillfällig uppgång under 1970- och 1980-talen med en topp 1988, för att sedan slutet av 1990-talet försvinna helt. Under valrörelsen 1988 var andelen annonser klassade som negative campaigning som högst och låg på 13 %, för att under efterföljande decennium försvinna helt..

Denna uppsats ska på ett vetenskapligt sätt försöka beskriva vad dokumentärserien ?I en annan del av Köping? framställer. Vilka diskurser synliggörs i programmet och står programmet eventuellt för en förändring i svenskt medieutbud vad det gäller skildring av funktionshindrade personer? Genom en koncentrerad studie av samtal som handlar om anhörigas tal om sitt funktionshindrade barn, kärlek samt sex påvisas diskurser i förhållande till begreppen normalitet och avvikelse. Denna uppsats försöker besvara vilka relationer som finns mellan huvudkaraktärerna och vad de medverkande representerar i serien.

The use of streaming media such as Spotify has increased rapidly in recent years. Although the consumption side of Spotify is well established with over 10 million users, the medium might provide new unexploited opportunities as an advertising channel. The purpose of this thesis is to increase knowledge about advertising through streaming media and in particular via Spotify. To contribute to such knowledge we have conducted a case study to investigate how Spotify can be used and serve as an advertising medium for a smaller firm, Hasseludden Yasuragi, so that it may reach its target group. To examine the medial effect, a quantitative as well as a qualitative study was carried out using the ARF Model as a basic framework.

The Swedish government ratified on May 1 2009 an amendment of marital law, resulting in same-sex marriage becoming legalized. With the rights of the Christian Swedish state church to officiate weddings originating from the same law, the church was thereby faced with two options: Either officially include same-sex couples in the Christian concept of holy matrimony and keep the right to officiate weddings; or give up the right to officiate weddings altogether. An official decision to accept the terms was reached on October 22 2009, but not without being preceded by an agitated medial debate.This research attempts to analyze the arguments of the debate in three stages: In the first stage the arguments are categorized according to their respective ideological standpoint. In the second stage these categories are examined from post-modern, social constructivist and socialization theory perspectives. Based on this, the third stage sees the arguments analyzed from a viewpoint based in the Copenhagen school concept of securization.The research concludes that the debate does not only simply feature two sides with differences of opinion; but rather that the arguments of the two opposing sides are founded in a common view of the other side as a fundamental threat to ones conception of a sound society..

The purpose of this report is to investigate teachers views of whether pupils with Asperger Syndrome, autistic symptoms or ADHD shall go in ordinary classes or special groups. The study tells you about what difficulties these pupils often have, what adjustments they need in their schoolsituation and the positive and negative effects of joining a special group.A teacher for special needs, two teachers in special groups and two teachers in ordinary classes have been intervjued and earlier made researches have been studied.The conclusions of this study are that the decision of whether a pupil shall go in a normal class or a special group must be made individually. Most pupils who are capable to profit from the training in a normal class and pass their examination, shall go in a normal class. The greater part of the recommended adjustments are possible to do in a normal class. But it requires more resourses and teachers with better knowledges about theese handicaps..

Kejneaffären i början av 1950-talet var en så kallad rättsröteaffär där en pastor Kejne anklagade rättstaten för korruption med homosexuella undertoner. I den här uppsatsen har jag undersökt hur tidningar framställde homosexualitet och homosexuella män i texter förknippde med Kejneaffärens inledande månader som medial såpopera. Den tidigare forskningen menar att det mediala klimatet var homofobiskt, vilket innebär rädsla och intolerans gentemot gruppen homosexualitet. Den homosexuelle framställdes som "den andre", som ett hot mot det normala samhället. Detta ville jag undersöka närmare genom att studera hur andrefieringen och det stereotypiseringen skedde.

The aim of this study is to examine the opinion of teachers as to the situation of young people suffering from Aspergers syndrome in the Sixth Form(gymnasium. In order to find this out I have chosen to interview four teachers with work experience of Aspergers in three different gymnasium in middle Sweden. They were confronted with the following questions: What resources are available for these pupils in the gymnasium? How do they experience that the school situation functions and how would they as teachers like the school situation to function for these young people at school?The result shows that special teachers have an extremely important function to fulfil. Those interviewed felt that there are sufficient resources available, for example guidance and further education for techers as well as both support and means for helping the young people.However, every teacher does not understand this handicap.

The high incidence of cranial cruciate ligament injury in dogs results in both suffering and significant costs due to treatment and care of affected dogs. Today there are several different technics for surgical treatment in dogs with ruptured cranial cruciate ligament. At University Animal Hospital (UDS), SLU, in Uppsala two fundamentally different methods; TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) and external fixation with suture material are practiced. The aim of this study was to estimate if the different surgery technics result in any difference regarding the function of the dog in a long term perspective. Since motion and function are very affected by arthritis, was the purpose also to determine if there are any differences in developing arthritis between dogs surgical treated with external fixation respectively with TPLO. Development of arthritis is common after surgery or traumatic injuries in a joint, such as cruciate ligament rupture. Unfortunately was the number of dogs in the study to small to achieve two comparable groups.

Benign Childhood Epilepsy with Centrotemporal Spikes - BCECTS is a common neurological syndrome but the possible cognitive effects are still relatively unknown. In the study 12 children with the diagnose BCECTS, 9 boys and 3 girls between the ages of 5,5 and 13,5 years, were examined. An extensive battery of neuropsychological tests were administered. The results indicates normal cognitive functioning as compared to the normal population, with one exception; an aspect of attention. But the results also indicate several negatively effected performances when compared to the cognitive g-factor of each child.

The aim of this study is to illuminate factors in nurses´ work, which can cause a state of exhaustion called burn out. The results indicate that work related mental illness is a lengthy process that gives rise to both physical and psychical problems. These problems might lead to a state of burn out. However, several authors prefer to use expressions like exhaust syndrome or exhaust depression as they are criticising the concept of burn out. The study is a literature analysis of 11 scientific articles that have been scrutinized using the criterions presented by Polit et al (2001).

This thesis focuses on the mass media cover of ?Smart textiles?. The Swedish?smart? textiles are developed in Borås and are a mix of ordinary textile and new technology.  I analyse the article with a text analysis method, looking at themes and the language?s propositions in focus. Context and the actors in the articles are also important in the analysis.Many women occur as developers of the new smart technical product, a field often knowed as a typical male subject.

This thesis aims to examine the nature of the medial compartment regarding the reporting of problems in conjunction with suburbs. Previous research on discrimination in the media shows that people living in the suburbs considers suburbs being portrayed negatively in the media. They perceive that this has a negative effect on integration which in turn increases the risk of stigmatization. This study strives to contribute to the clarification of whether medias means of reporting around this area can help in the development of problems in suburbs by examining whether there is a reflection of actual political focus in the media or if media only plays a stigmatizing role. The research method used has been quantitative content analysis, making an overview of how much space is given to the different types of reporting. The thesis concludes that the reporting examined in this study did not appear to be of a structurally discriminatory nature, even if that type of reporting occurred.
