Statistik visar att ungefär en äldre individ begår suicid varje dag. Sjuksköterskans möjligheter för att arbeta preventivt med äldre suicidala individer är goda så länge sjuksköterskan har kunskap om riskfaktorer, får gedigen utbildning och nyttjar bedömningsinstrument. Syftet med arbetet var att beskriva suicidprevention för äldre individer utifrån riskfaktorer för suicid bland äldre, sjuksköterskans kunskaper i det preventiva arbetet och hinder i sjuksköterskans preventiva arbete. Arbetet utfördes som en litteraturstudie där 15 vetenskapliga artiklar valdes ut, granskades, analyserades samt kodades för att finna bakomliggande faktorer. De teman som uppkom vid granskning var riskfaktorer för suicid, sjuksköterskans hinder vid suicidprevention och utbildning för suicidprevention.

This thesis aims to study how teachers develop pupils' motivation to read. Using qualitative interviews, three Swedish middle school teachers describe their experiences regarding pupils' motivation to read. They comment on how they attempt to stimulate motivation and the conditions and circumstances they experience while carrying out their work. As a basis for the teacher interviews, their pupils completed a web based survey about how they value reading as an activity and how they see themselves as readers. An analysis of the interviews raises several issues for discussion: pupils have different needs, good readers are described through their abilities, not through their experiences or reading habits, and teachers feel they can be limited to implement the teaching they think is necessary to promote reading abilities.

The impact of the distribution in the soil volume of two farm manures on the net mineralization and immobilization processes of nitrogen were studied in an incubation experiment. Cattle slurry and broiler litter were placed in the soil with three procedures for incorporation including placement on top of the soil (TOP), in the middle of the soil (MID) and mixed homogenously with the soil (MIX). During the two weeks of incubation, few significant differences in net mineralization were seen between TOP, MID and MIX. However, there was a tendency that MIX led to a larger net immobilization of N than placement at one point (TOP and MID). This is also the result in the literature.

The aim of this Master´s thesis is to examine which type of regime the state Iran is. There has been much research on this issue and the discussion is not over yet. I have departed from three theoretical perspectives in order to understand which type of regime the Middle Eastern nation is: theocracy, democracy and hybrid regime. The theocratic regimetype is composed by David L. Websters archeological theory about governments ruled by God.
