Syftet med denna beskrivande litteraturstudie var att beskriva vårdpersonals attityder till personer med psykisk sjukdom. Litteratursökning genomfördes i databaserna Medline och PsycINFO och totalt valdes 15 vetenskapliga artiklar ut. Resultatet delades in i två huvudkategorier: attityder till psykisk sjukdom samt skillnader i attityder. Resultatet visade att vårdpersonal generellt sett hade en negativ syn på personer med psykisk sjukdom och ansåg att de var farliga, oförutsägbara och mer benägna att ta till våld. Detta ledde till att personalen försökte undvika konflikter med dem och de tyckte även att det var svårt att kommunicera med dem.

Urban trees contribute significantly to our society. By providing ecosystem services and a habitat that other urban species and ecosystems depend on, both biodiversity and the people in the city benefit. Some characteristics that the trees possess include functioning as biological filters for the atmosphere and water, as well as positively impacting people's mental health. However, urban trees are challenged by stressors such as pollution and a drier environment, making them particularly sensitive to climate change. The goal of this study was to estimate the expected magnitude of climate change in Gothenburg and compare it with the current urban species' natural climate boundaries to understand the extent of the climate threat and which species appear to be most at risk.

Dysfagi, sväljningssvårigheter, är en vanlig komplikation vid Alzheimers sjukdom och är väl utforskat i det sista av de tre stadierna vid demens (lindrig, måttlig och svår). Sväljningssvårigheter som har kopplats samman med Alzheimers sjukdom är ett förändrat ätbeteende, reducerad höjning av larynx och en längre oral fas. Syftet med studien var att undersöka om och vilka symtom vid dysfagi som kan ses i de tidigare stadierna av Alzheimers sjukdom vid användning av icke-invasiva undersökningsmetoder. En enkätundersökning med 16 deltagare och en sväljningsscreening med fyra deltagare genomfördes.

Bakgrund:Sedan år 2004 har Bokföringsnämnden arbetat med det så kallade K-projektet. Projektet innebär att företagen delas in i fyra olika kategorier (K1-K4) och att samlade regel-verk skapas för de olika kategorierna. Förhoppningen med K-projektet är att redovisningsar-betet ska underlättas. K3 kommer att vara huvudalternativet för företag som upprättar årsre-dovisningar och regelverket för årsredovisning med K2 innehåller förenklingar som mindre företag frivilligt får tillämpa istället för de mer avancerade reglerna i K3. Problem:Vi har identifierat en valsituation som ansvariga på mindre företag står inför.

The purpose of this thesis is to identify power structures and instruments of power within the Jehovah?s witnesses and investigate how they affect the baptized youths baptized within the organization. The material consists of qualitative in-depth interviews and is analyzed with Foucault's theories of power. The results show that the participants have a very strict relationship to the rules of the congregation and also that they take great care in observing these rules carefully. It becomes evident that young members are exposed to disciplinary measures from the organization.

It has also been shown that livestock that lives close to carnivores sometimes change their behaviour in a way that will affect their ability to reproduce and to forage efficiently.
