Bakgrund: Sjuksköterskors rätt att förskriva läkemedel skiljer sig åt mellan olika länder och infördes för distriktssköterskor i Sverige 1994. Socialstyrelsens uppföljning av sjuksköterskans förskrivningsrätt 2004 indikerade att förskrivningsrätten användes i liten utsträckning. I tidigare forskning framkommer såväl möjligheter som hinder kring förskrivningsrätten. Syfte: Syftet är att undersöka hur distriktssköterskan på vårdcentral använder sin förskrivningsrätt. Metod: Kvantitativ enkätstudie.

Globalisation and diversity has increased the presence of different languages in Swedish municipalities. As the local administrative authorities with responsibility for the public crisis management, how are these municipalities coping with crisis communication recipients that are not speaking Swedish? Through an inductive approach, this thesis formulates a theory of crisis communication adaptation by studying Swedish municipalities with a large part of inhabitants with foreign backgrounds. This thesis finds that municipalities that are not adapting their crisis communication to non-Swedish speakers follows a discourse that paints a picture of these recipients as at least understanding the Swedish language. Municipalities that do adapt their crisis communication have drawn lessons from local incidents that complements this discourse.

Människan som är i behov av vårdande inom omvårdnad behöver pedagogiskt lärande i form av stöd från sjuksköterskan inför de frågor och utmaningar de ställs inför. Hur pedagogiskt lärande utformas i olika vårdsituationer är ännu inte tillräckligt vetenskapligt utforskat, vilket gör att det är viktigt att kartlägga problematiken kring bristen på pedagogiskt lärande i omvårdnad. Syftet var att identifiera vad pedagogiskt lärande är inom omvårdnad. Metoden som använts är en litteraturstudie med 8 vetenskapliga artiklar som lades till grund för resultatet. Resultatet visade sex olika underteman; pedagogiska brister, pedagogisk innovation, sjuksköterskan, patientens livsvärld, pedagogisk ömsesidighet samt pedagogisk omvårdnad och som bildade huvudtemat ?Med andras ögon?.

According to international and national literacy studies (PISA, PIRLS) Swedish boys are inferior to Swedish girls when it comes to reading. There can be numerous reasons to that statement. One is that Swedish teachers require more knowledge about communication as an important component in literacy. In spite of this shortcoming, Swedish girls manage to gain sufficient literacy. Why is that? The aim of this survey was to examine if there were any differences between girls and boys regarding communication skills when they begin in school.The main questions taken in account were:Which differences and/or similarities in communication skills are discernible between boys and girls this particular preschool?How do boys and girls communicate with each other in different room contexts on this particular preschool?           To be able to answer the questions, I adopted observations and audio recordings from children aged five.
