Introduction: About 160 children with Down syndrome are born each year in Sweden. They will spend their first time in life at the neonatal departments around the country. Previous research has shown that parents in these situations have experienced an unsatisfying behaviour from the caregivers and that they are not getting the care they desire. However the research that reflects the nurses? role in these situations is sparsely studied.

När ens barn får en diagnos som är livslång, hamnar de flesta föräldrar ien kris (Fyhr, 2002). I samband med ny utredning aktualiseras ochförstärks ofta föräldrarnas kris. Frågeställningar i denna uppsats handlarom hur man kan uppmärksamma föräldrarnas reaktioner när deras barnredan har en diagnos (synnedsättning) och som i en andra fas utreds förtill exempel autistiskt syndrom eller mental retardation. Uppsatsensempiriska del grundar sig på en intervjustudie med sex föräldrar till barnmed synnedsättning och som gjort ytterligare en utredning som lett framtill en ny diagnos. Materialet bearbetades kvalitativt utifrån principerna iGrounded theory (Langemar, 2009).

As part of the project Self esteem and Life circumstances among teenagers (started by Johnsson, Lundh & Wångby at Lund University in 2006) results from pilot studies of expressive writing (intervention initially created by Pennebaker and Beall, 1986) among adolescents in six secondary school classes in Sweden were investigated. The study describes changes from pre-test to follow-up on adapted versions of Emotion Regulation Questionnaire and Emotional Tone Index. Different strategies for emotion regulation are focused: voluntary and involuntary engagement and voluntary disengagement (Connor-Smith, Compas, Wadsworth, Harding Thomsen & Saltzman, 2000). The study is explorative. Results show a tendency towards more frequent diary use at follow-up for participants in expressive writing.

Results from previous studies have shown that people with depression tend to have impaired executive functions, although it's not clear whether this is also true for mild depression in young people. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between mild depressive symptoms and executive functions in young individuals. 60 participants, between 18-33 years of age, took part in this study. They were divided into two groups; a "depressed group" (n = 8), with mildly depressed subjects, and a "none-depressed group" (n = 52). The depressed group was significantly impaired on several executive tests, namely TMT A (p = 0,025), TMT B (p = 0,040), FAS (p = 0,002), WAIS-R Digit Span Backwards (p = 0,047) and CWTa - subtest colour naming (p = 0,001), which evaluated abilities such as shifting, verbal fluency, working memory, attention and mental flexibility.

What is the Church? This question has been asked in many times and places. In Sweden, it seems asif there's a general identity crisis among the churches. It seems like many churches don't know whythey exist, or at least they have a very vague understanding of the full meaning of the Church.Some 50 years ago, we had a new encounter in Sweden. Immigrants from Orthodoxcountries came to live here, and they brought their church and tradition with them.

Idag är det allmänt känt att barn upplever stress både i skola och förskola. Att många barn visar tecken på negativ stress gör att kraven på oss vuxna ökar och det visar även tydliga brister i vårt sätt att möta barnens behov och krav. Jag är övertygad om att avslappningsövningar kan fungera som ett avbrott i den annars så bullriga och aktiva vardag våra barn lever i. Syftet med denna rapport var att ta reda på små barns reaktioner på avslappningsträning. Undersökningen genomfördes under fem veckor på en 1-4-årsavdelning, gruppen bestod av fyra barn.

Upptakten till krisen utspelade sig i Argentina under 1880 talet. Landet hade efter inre oroligheter stabiliserats och i likheter med Sverige ett decennium tidigare fått ökade exportintäkter efter ökad efterfrågan på råvaror som landet exporterade. Med guldstandardens internationella etablering och större kapitalflöden över gränserna blev stora kapitalsatsningar i Argentina möjliga. Tidigare brittiskt monopol som finansiell mellanhand till argentinska myndigheter luckrades upp under den senare hälften av 1880 talet av först franska sedan tyska affärssyndikat. Ökad konkurrens mellan affärsbankerna och spekulation på börserna skapade snart en hysterisk efterfrågan på argentinska värdepapper, främst obligationer på järnvägskonstruktioner trots monetär inkonvertibilitet, ökande handelsunderskott samt skenande utlandsskuld.

Bakgrund: Depression i kombination med andra sjukdomar ger ökad vårdbelastning, vårdkostnader och ökad dödlighet för patienten. Syftet: med litteraturstudien var att belysa sjuksköterskans roll vid identifierandet och diagnostiseringen av äldre deprimerade patienter över 65 år. Metod: Uppsatsen är en litteraturöversikt som involverar 11 vetenskapliga artiklar. Resultat: Både sjuksköterskor och patienter undviker att samtala om emotionella problem. Sjuksköterskan har stor potential att bli bättre i identifierandet och i kontakten med patienten.

The aim of this qualitative study was to examine six individuals' experiences to talk about the sexual abuse that occurred in their childhood. We interviewed five women and one man, using a phenomenological approach during the work process. The theories emerged as we analyzed our results and appeared to be communication, cognitive theory, validation, trauma theory and taboo. The results showed that the respondents, whom disclosed the abuse as children, were most likely to get a negative response from both formal and informal support systems. While as adults they were confirmed to a greater extent and therefore achieved a better physical and mental wellbeing.

This thesis examines how library employees experience the library as a meeting place. Our questions are: What effect has the concept of a "library as a meeting-place" for library staff?How do they see the library as a meeting place? How do they see their workplace as a venue for meetings? The respondents interviewed work in public libraries. We were inspired by a cultural geographic theory that we re-designed. The following divisions were made in order to give the work a definitive structure:The "mental space"The library as a meeting place on a global and universal level;The "conceived space"Librarians and planners' thinking on the specific library as a meeting place;The "living space"How library staff perceive that the library is used as a meeting place in reality.In our analysis, we use a phenomenographic qualitative interpretive methodology.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att genom patientjournaler undersöka hur mentalpatienter har behandlats vid Lunds hospital under åren 1879,1896 samt 1916. Det som undersökts är vilka personer som intogs för vård, vilka intagningsskälen var, vilken diagnos som tilldelades de intagna samt vilken behandling de sinnessjuka fick. Källmaterialet har bestått av patientjournaler från avgångna patienter och detta material finns på Arkivcentrum Syd i Lund. Metoden som jag använt mig av har gått ut på att gå igenom journalerna och undersöka vilka diagnoser som tilldelades de sjuka, hur långa vistelsetiderna var, kvinnornas ålder och civilstånd, vilka intagningsorsakerna var samt vilka behandlingar och mediciner som ordinerades. Resultaten av undersökningen räknades sedan ihop och sammanställdes i tabeller vilka ligger som bilagor i arbetet.

Background: What is a share and what determines the value of a company? This is a constant issue that many in the financial world are facing. Many argue that there has been some decoupling between stock valuation and how the company in question is developing operationally after the financial crisis that the world faced during 2008-2009.Problem: It is important to distinguish between the company and the share. A company that is good and well maintained may not be worth buying only because of it. The share is judged by other elements also.

The theoretical perspectives have been intersectionality and its focus on social constructivism, and gender perspectives. The method was semi-structured interviews with eight social work students at Linnaeus University Kalmar.

This study examines how the Swedish state has communicated security, threats,and citizen responsibility to the population through different versions of thebrochures ?If Crisis or War Comes?. Drawing on securitization theory and UlrichBeck?s theory of the risk society, the study analyzes how threat perceptions, protected referent objects, and the role attributed to individuals have changed overtime. The analysis is based on a deductive qualitative content analysis of sixbrochures published in 1943, 1952, 1961, 1989, 2018, and 2024.The findings demonstrate a clear transformation in the construction of threats,shifting from a predominant focus on conventional military conflict during theSecond World War and the Cold War to a more diversified threat landscape in thetwenty-first century, including societal disruptions, propaganda, cyber threats,environmental risks, and pandemics.

Background: The standard of living should be the same for everyone, whether the apartment is placed in an old or new building. The residential properties that were built from 1965 until 1974 is now beginning to become old and in need of restoration. The financial crisis during the nineties contributed to the lack of maintenance on the buildings in Sweden. As the public buildings gets older more and more defects occurs. The coordination and maintenance will therefore have a more significant role in the housing company ?s work.The increasing interest about how old a building can be, attract much attention.
