Ofri luftväg kan uppstå på grund av bakåtfallen tunga hos den medvetslösa patienten eller om luftvägen blir tilltäppt av sekret, blod, maginnehåll eller främmande kropp. Att kunna säkerställa fri luftväg hos den medvetandesänkta patienten är en kompetens som varje anestesisjuksköterska måste behärska för att kunna säkerställa adekvat ventilation. Syftet med studien var att beskriva om larynxmask (LMA) är en patientsäker metod för att skapa fri luftväg och upprätthålla adekvat ventilation. Studien genomfördes som en litteraturstudie där 19 vetenskapliga artiklar analyserades. Resultatet av de granskade artiklarna gav följande fem teman; LMA är en säker metod för att skapa fri luftväg, LMA är en säker metod för att upprätthålla adekvat ventilation, personalens kompetens vid användning av LMA, aspirationsrisk vid användning av LMA med undertema LMA vid övervikt samt LMA vid elektiva- och akuta situationer.

The most predominant method for forest harvesting in Sweden is the cut-to-length method based on two-machines, a harvester that fells trees and cut them in a predefined length, and a forwarder which transports logs to a landing area for further transport to a processing facility. New machine solutions have to be much gentler to the ground than today?s machines. To be able to develop a forestry machine that preserves the terrain requires a proper understanding of the interaction between tire and soil.The goal of the project is to contribute to the existing knowledge of forest machine tire-soil interaction and to develop a tire-soil model that enables dynamic simulations of forest machines operating in rough terrain. The modeling has especially been focused on the interaction between tires and soft ground.A comparison of theoretical data of different WES-based terrain interaction models and a comparison test data from a full scale field test is presented.

Nuclear power plants existences have been well debated since the 70s (Swedish radiation safety authority, 2014). Accidents, risk and presence connected to nuclear power plants have been part of many studies around the world. Recent studies have shown a connection between prices of houses and the distance and presence of nuclear power plant in a surronding area of the house. This paper uses Hedonic price modelling to investigate the willingness to pay for an increased distance to the Swedish nuclear power plant, Forsmark. For the dependent variable selling price was used and the independent variables were number of rooms, living area, other area, lot size, selling year, building year and distance to Forsmark.

Bakgrund Kommunikation ?r ett centralt begrepp inom v?rden. Spr?kbarri?rer uppst?r mellan v?rdtagare och v?rdgivare n?r de inte talar samma spr?k, vilket i sin tur kan p?verka v?rdkvaliteten, patients?kerheten och patientdelaktigheten. Syfte Syftet med litteraturstudien ?r att sammanst?lla och belysa forskningsbaserad kunskap om hur spr?kbarri?rer p?verkar patienters och sjuksk?terskors upplevelser av v?rdm?tet.

During recent decades several studies have investigated how different social roles and socialization processes between women and men affects our attitudes, values and priorities to environmental problems. Many empirical studies among the general public, indicates that women tend to show a greater environmental concern than men, because of women?s different health- safety- and risk perception. Even though the results are well established among the general public, when investigating if elected women in public offices tend to express a higher environmental concern, than do men, the results are not that clear. By using a dataset covering all the 290 municipalities in Sweden, this study aims to investigate if there is any correlation between the amount of female representatives in the municipality and the amount of emissions of CO2e per capita.

The Mobile phone has contributed to massive changes in the way that human beings communicate with each other and is a technology that is a part of society?s globalization. Opinions differ in the area of user interface where some feel that mobile phones exclude users such as senior citizens or users with an intellectual or a physical disability.Universal Design ??design for all?, is a vision that intends to bring about settings, products and services that suits as many people as possible irrespective of an individual?s needs and prospects. The criteria for ?design for all? are among other things flexibility, user friendliness, comprehensibility and a high tolerance for mistakes.The purpose of this essay is to investigate the mobile phones graphic user-interface from the theory of a universal design.

Several diseases increase the risk of thrombosis in dogs and cats, often with a fatal outcome. Currently there are no definite treatment guidelines for the use of thrombolytic and thromboprofylactic agents in veterinary medicine. None of these drugs are approved for dogs and cats in Sweden. Medicines aimed for humans have been used tentatively. This literature study is an investigation of what is currently known about the effects and safety of these pharmacological agents when used for dogs and cats.

                                  The study aimed to explore how patients with ICDs experience their quality of life with a focus on everyday life, electric shocks, and how support from the health service is perceived.

Data collection lasted for three weeks and interviews were conducted in the participant´s homes, at the participants? workplaces or over the phone.The study shows that most participants have learned to live with the ICD.

The purpose of this study is to improve our understanding of how immigrant children become included in some preschools. With immigrant children we meant those children who immigrated to Sweden. In order to achieve our purpose we have chosen to find out some educators' perceptions about inclusion and which strategies they use to include immigrant children.To realize the study purpose, we have chosen to use qualitative interviews as a method. We conducted interviews with sex educators who worked in two preschools. The empirical materials we got from the interviews formed the basis for our analysis.The analysis of our collected data was based on our theories and conceptions.

Background: In today's Swedish health care, it is required that the various professionals must work together in teams to safer care. Several professionals with various skills expected working together in the traumateam at the care of the traumapatient. At the same time, research shows that substandard teamwork leads to avoidable errors in care. One way to improve teamwork is to practice. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to shed light on the experiences of the traumateam exercises that exercise participants feel has been favorable for the patient at the initial care of trauma patients.

Simulation is a vital tool during development of JAS 39 Gripen, since money and time can be saved.The Auxiliary and Emergency Power System, AEPS, is a subsystem of the secondary power system in Gripen. It has the function of providing the aircraft with electrical and hydraulical power before activation and after deactivation of the main engine. The system also functions as backup in case of a safety critical problem in the main power supply system. The system basically consists of a control unit and an auxiliary gearbox. The gearbox is driven by an air turbine.

A debate on environmental issues and food safety has been ongoing in Sweden and it is suggested that consumers' are seeking local produce instead of global and exotic foods. Moreover, studies show that the consumers? positive attitude towards local produce does not reflect their actions. The purpose with this thesis is to contribute to a better understanding of the dissonance between the consumer?s attitudes and actual behaviour towards local produce.

Introdukation: Postoperativt illamående och kräkning, PONV (Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting) är en av de vanligaste förekommande biverkningarna postoperativt vilket drabbar cirka en tredjedel av alla opererade patienter. Det är inte bara obehagligt för patienten utan kan även orsaka medicinska komplikationer. Tidigare forskning har konstaterat att illamående och kräkningar är undermåligt dokumenterade i journalerna. Dokumentation medvetandegör problem, utvärderar effekt av insatt åtgärd, utvecklar patientvården samt är betydelsefull i forskningssyfte.Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka dokumentation av PONV i patientjournalen samt samstämmigheten mellan intensivvårdssjuksköterskans dokumentation och patientens erfarenhet av PONV.Metod: Mixed methods med deskriptiv kvantitativ design användes i denna tvärsnittstudie. Data inhämtades från patientjournalen och jämfördes med självrapporterad data från patienter.Resultat: Resultatet visade att dokumentation om PONV, oavsett om deltagarna erfor PONV eller inte, saknades i 55 % av alla patientjournaler.

Studien beskriver nyutexaminerade sjuksköterskors upplevelse av samverkan i team med läkare och undersköterskor. En kvalitativ semistrukturerad intervjustudie har gjorts med sju sjuksköterskor som arbetar på fyra olika sjukhus runtom i Skåne. Författarna till föreliggande studie är själva sjuksköterskestudenter som inom en snar framtid ska ut i arbetslivet och därmed skapat flera undringar kring hur den nyutexaminerade sjuksköterskan upplever utmaningar som denne ställs inför då hon/han börjar arbeta. En av de sex kärnkompetenserna för omvårdnad, samverkan i team, valdes som intresseområde av författarna och syftet formulerades till att undersöka nyutexaminerade sjuksköterskors upplevelse av samverkan med läkare och undersköterskor på arbetsplatsen. Fyra kvinnor och tre män deltog i studien, varav tre arbetar på medicin avdelningar och fyra på kirurgiska avdelningar.
