A quantitative and qualitative study of all LIS Master theses applying a gender perspective on children-centred issues previously published at the Swedish School of Library and Information Studies. Two hypotheses were investigated: 1) studies with explicit gender perspective express strongest urgency; 2) study results confirm predeclared assumptions. A content analysis of all theses, and closer thematic analysis of ten, form the main question: Is there a risk that the theses? similarities in terms of urgency and confirmation create predictable conclusions? The theses? motivations behind the choices of research problems are explored in the content analysis. Two categories of motivation can be identified: 1) personal; 2) generally applicable.

Purpose: The objective of this study is to illustrate how participants in leaderless based projects communicate with each other. Several studies have focused on technology-supported projects, such as open source projects, with an established project manager and goal. There is a lack, to the best of our knowledge, in studies that deal with the communication pattern in a leaderless computer supported collaborative project.Method: We have chosen to use a quantitative method where we systematically group several messages according to their content. This method was used in a similar study to illustrate the communication between participants involved in an open source project. We have taken the same Kripendorff based method and adapted it to our study by adding more descriptive variables.Theoretical perspectives: Manuel Castell discusses the aspects of a new communication power that is rooted in the individual as part of a larger creative audience.

The aim of this paper is to study how school yoga in Östermalmsskolan is expressed in the texts consist of a notification to the Schools Inspectorate, an opinion to the Schools Inspectorate and a statement of the Schools Inspectorate. The method used for the investigation is a critical discourse analysis which study social and political processes in the society as created through language. The perspective of the critical discourse analysis is a social construction that considers that language is a social production created in a discursive way. It produces and reflects social process in the language. By using theories of different concepts such as yoga, religion, spirituality, non-denominational and freedom of religion, my aim is to investigate how yoga is expressed in the school inspectorate text.

The objective of this study is to understand how people with psychiatric diseases who are enrolled at a psychiatric clinic experience the recovery process and which internal motivations and external factors influence the process. The study is based on interviews with five people who have been enrolled at a psychiatric clinic. Another aim of the study is to understand how the importance of the outpatient care for the personal recovery and the improvement opportunities of the support from the rehabilitation unit that the interviewees see. The study is qualitative and abductive approach was chosen. This means that the study is based on empirical data supported by established theories.

Our post-modern society is being continually more characterized by the working life, where corporate relations and the understanding of human momentum, limitations and knowledge is the basis of the quality of the corporation. In other words, it is of the greatest importance to keep in mind the attitudes, behaviour, stress levels and motivations that constitute a good working environment. We find it interesting to study what social psychological approaches and social processes could be of importance to good cooperation. The research has its starting point in a qualitative method focused on semi- structured interviews, where we have interviewed eight respondents working within the psychiatry. The research has strengthened our pre-understanding but also made clear the existence of other social processes and approaches that affect cooperation.

The aim of this study is to have a deeper understanding about the motivations and the obstacles of an immigrant?s language learning. I have studied the problem with focus on integration and language learning. The study is principally based on deep interviews with Turkish immigrants. I have studied the question by means of a socio-cultural perspective of learning; Mead?s conceptions I, Me and the generalised other; Scheff?s conception, the social bonds and Freire?s conception, dialog and Asplund?s conception social responsiveness.

Bakgrund: Transpersoner ?r en samh?llsgrupp som rapporterar h?gre grad av diskriminering inom sjukv?rdssystemet ?n cispersoner, n?got som grundar sig i cisnormativiteten som r?der i v?rlden och i v?rdsystemet. Transpersoners h?lsobehov ?r m?ngfacetterade och kan innefatta b?de k?nsbekr?ftande v?rd samt generell sjukv?rd. H?lsostandarden ?r l?gre i denna samh?llsgrupp ?n i den generella populationen.

Bakgrund: Under de senaste tio ?ren har assisterat d?ende och eutanasi varit ett v?xande fenomen som spridit sig i v?rlden. Det finns l?nga listor p? krav hos patienten f?r att det skall genomf?ras och kraven kan skilja sig utifr?n i vilket land det ?ger rum. Argument om att varje individ har r?tt till sin egen autonomi och ska f? best?mma ?ver sitt eget s?tt att d? tas ofta upp i debatter om d?dshj?lp ska legaliseras eller inte.

Introduction: Reducing social inequality in health is a prioritized goal for public health on the global as well as the national and the local levels. Hälsoteket operates through health promotion to reduce inequality in health in the district of Angered in Göteborg, through the improvement of living habits and the wellbeing of the population.Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate Hälsoteket in Angered through its participants? subjective experiences. Subsidiary aims were to explore participants? perceptions and opinions about Hälsoteket in Angered, how they perceive the health impact of their participation and their motivations for participating.Method: A qualitative method was used to fulfill the aim.

This thesis examines the reasons to why railway projects conducted by Banverket (Swedish National Rail Administration) could be expected to cause significant effects on the environment, on which grounds the County Administrative Board and Swedish National Rail Administration base their decisions/assumptions and highlight regional differences between the different Swedish national rail administrations regions. Total 24 railway projects, conducted or being conducted, during the time period 2001 - January 2010 have been analyzed and studied. These projects represent eight different measures/activities which are dispersed throughout all five of the Swedish National Rail Administration´s different regions. Swedish legislations demands that the planner of a new railway project shall first conduct a pre-study and then conduct a public consultation which provides the participants an opportunity to provide input. The County Administrative Board shall then decide if the project could cause significant effects on the environment.

Bakgrund: Sepsis ?r ett livshotande tillst?nd som i ca 20% av fallen resulterar i en d?dlig utg?ng. Eftersom sjukdomsf?rloppet ofta ?r akut ?r tidig identifiering och omedelbara ?tg?rder avg?rande f?r att f?rb?ttra patientens prognos. F?r att underl?tta detta anv?nds olika screeninginstrument som st?d i bed?mningen.

BakgrundSedering, delirium, agitation och sma?rta a?r viktiga omra?den inom intensivva?rd. Studier har visat pa? goda resultat vid bedo?mning av sederade patienter med validerade ma?tinstrument. Intensivva?rdssjuksko?terskan mo?ter den sederade patienten dagligen i sitt arbete och ska enligt kompetensbeskrivningen ta hand om kritiskt sjuka patienter med svikt i ett eller i flera organ och utifra?n patientens individuella behov fo?rebygga, behandla, lindra och utva?rdera omva?rdnadsa?tga?rder.

Bakgrund: Multiresistenta bakterier (MRB) utg?r ett v?xande globalt problem vilket beror p? att de har f?rv?rvat resistens mot ett flertal antibiotikasorter. Resistensutvecklingen kan f?rklaras av felaktig anv?ndning av antibiotika och ?kar i takt med globalisering och v?sterl?ndskt resande. MRB ?r en utmaning f?r sjukv?rden och det kr?vs s?rskilda rutiner f?r att minska smittspridningen och bevara patients?kerheten.

Sammanfattning Bakgrund: Trycks?r ?r skador till f?ljd av l?ngvarigt tryck eller friktion som kan skapa b?de psykiskt och fysiskt lidande f?r patienten, vilket kan leda till betydande kostnader f?r v?rden. Omv?rdnaden grundas i sjuksk?terskans etiska kod vilket inneb?r att fr?mja h?lsa, f?rebygga sjukdom samt att ?terst?lla h?lsa och lindra lidande. Sjuksk?terskans kompetens skapas genom att kombinera teoretisk kunskap och praktisk erfarenhet.
