Through the collection and analysis of negotiations surrounding the gay magazine Destroyer, the intention of this paper is to identify norms of sexuality within a contemporary sex-radical discourse. These negotiations are collected from interviews with individuals whom, at the time of the inter-view, consider themselves or their politics sex-radical. In order to allow for a more general under-standing of the context in which these negotiations have come about, material about Swedish law is also included in this text, together with the interview material, and serves as a base for analysis through the application of Gayle Rubin?s theory on the hierarchical value system of sexuality.Following, are the main themes throughout the paper: The meaning of the context; Sexualized children; The possibility to (not) participate: differences of power; The decision whether or not to sell the publication and The position of the pedophile and crossgenerational love/sexuality within the LGBTQ community.Key words: sex radicalism, pornography, boy-love, kiddy porn, pedophilia, Destroyer, Gayle Rubin..

Palliativ omvårdnad av patienter med cancer ställer höga krav påsjuksköterskan eftersom det måste finnas ett känslomässigt ochpersonligt engagemang. Där den traditionella medicinen inte ärtillräcklig kan komplementär behandling som taktil massage varaytterligare ett redskap för sjuksköterskan att använda vidsymtomlindring av oro och ångest. Ur ett fysiologiskt perspektivaktiverar massagens gynnsamma effekter kroppens antistressystem ochpsykologiskt främjas den mellanmänskliga kontakten. Syftet medlitteraturstudien var att belysa den taktila massagens effekter förlindring av oro och ångest samt skapa närhet, som komplement försjuksköterskan i den palliativa omvårdnaden av patienter med cancer. Ilitteraturstudien som genomfördes användes tolv vetenskapliga artiklar.Resultatet i litteraturstudien visar att taktil massage har en gynnsameffekt på symtomen oro och ångest hos patienter med cancer i livetsslut.

Background: Children in our present society spend more time sedentary, and food has become more accessible. It is important to pay attention to obese children, because of the risk for serious diseases in the future. Obesity can also cause mental suffering for the child.

Based on a pre-operative appointment and the perioperative monitoring, an assessment of the patient is made. The experience that the nurse anesthetist has can make it easier to understand what subtile signs of the patient depends on. Purpose: With this in mind, the purpose of the pilot study was to try to find out if there are specific signs of pain during anesthesia and if the professional experience played a role. As a subsidiary aim the authors examined whether there were factors in the patient that the nurse anesthetist takes into account in the identification of pain during anesthesia.

Alla människor har säkerligen någon nära anhörig eller bekant som har dött av cancer. Det beräknas att en tredjedel av alla som lever idag kommer att få en cancerdiagnos under sin livstid. Att få cancer innebär att individen plötsligt hamnar i en ny livssituation och måste försöka lära sig att anpassa sig till och hantera denna. De svåra känslor och situationer som kan uppstå vid anpassningen till ett nytt liv bearbetas av individen genom olika copingstrategier. Syftet med litteraturstudien var att belysa vilka copingstrategier individer med obotlig cancer använder i sitt dagliga liv.

Cancer är i dag en vanlig sjukdom och var tredje svensk drabbas av denna sjukdom. En person som får beskedet cancer kan uppleva stora förändringar. Alla människor reagerar olika och därför är det viktigt att vårdpersonalen har kunskap och förståelse om detta. Syftet med denna studie var att belysa patientens upplevelse i samband med att de får ett cancerbesked. Metoden som användes var en litteraturstudie.

Abstract Chronic heart failure is a common disease in elderly, and is the most common reason for hospitalization in patients over 65 years of age. Research on the elderly and heart failure often focus on treatment strategies, less research is available on patients' own experiences of living with chronic heart failure. The purpose of this interview study, was to gain more knowledge about patients´ own experiences of living with chronic heart failure. Nine patients were interviewed and the text was transcribed verbatim and it was then analyzed with a phenomenological hermeneutical method. From the analysis, three main themes emerged.

Stroke is one of the most common diseases in Sweden and the third most common cause of death (National guidelines concerning stroke, 2000). Dysphagia is a common problem for stroke patients with almost 50 percent of patients suffering from severe swallowing dysfunction (Axelsson, Asplund, Norberg & Eriksson, 1989). The purpose of this study was to investigate how stroke patients with dysphagia experience their swallowing disorders. The method used was a qualitative literature study. An analysis of content was carried out using ideas and inspiration from Graneheim and Lundman (2003).

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious postoperative complication and nurses should therefore observe symptoms in an early stage and implement preventive provisions, for example use of graduated compression stockings (GCS). The nurse is also responsible for making sure that ordinate GCS tried and used correctly by the patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the latest research regarding the efficacy of GCS in prevention of postoperative DVT and if there are any incorrectness in usage. And assess guidelines and recommendations for the usage of GCS. Method: Literature review.

Syftet med litteraturstudien var att beskriva föräldrars och syskons upplevelser och copingstrategier när ett barn i familjen drabbats av cancer. Sökning av litteratur har gjorts i databaserna Medline via Pubmed, Cinahl och Science Direct där 19 artiklar valdes ut. Resultatet visade att föräldrars upplevelser och copingstrategier var relativt samstämmiga. Upplevelserna tar sig ofta form i chock, förnekelse och stress de första månaderna. Hur föräldrarna sedan hanterar situationen kan variera, beroende på bland annat kön och religion.

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare how patients with diabetes type 2 self-estimate their self-consciousness, problem identification, stress management and the willingness to change before and after a daycare week. The aim was also to compare if the value on HbA1c have changed after the daycare week compared to before.Method: A total of 60 patients who recived offer to participate in a daycare week at a clinic on a university hospital in Sweden. Patients replied a form (SWE-DES-SF-10) before (n=60) and three months after (n=35) the daycare week. They also left a blood sample for HbA1c before (n=60) and three months after (n=42) the daycare week. The forms and HbA1c-values were analyzed using wilcoxon´s signed-rank test and paired t-test. Results: After the daycare week estimated the participating patiens their self-consciousness and problem identification higher than before the daycare week.

Alternative splicing is a process that partly rejects the common definition of a gene ? that one gene codes for one specific protein. By variable combination of coding regions (exons) and exclusion of non-coding regions (introns), formation of several different mRNA-transcripts, and consequently several different proteins, can derive from the same gene. Alternative splicing is an important condition for the development of complex life forms, but it is also a highly sensitive process and inaccurate splicing is the cause of approximately 15 % of mutations that cause genetic diseases. This article presents four genes, BRCA1, BRCA2, ER? and ER?, and inaccurate splicing of these genes increases the risk of developing cancer, particularly breast cancer and ovarian cancer.

Cancer är en vanlig sjukdom som de flesta sjuksköterskor kommer i kontakt med inom slutenvården. På vårdavdelningar vårdas patienter med cancer parallellt med andra patientkategorier. Sjuksköterskor slits mellan olika patienter med olika behov. En viktig uppgift för sjuksköterskor är att skapa en god relation till patienten i vårdandet. Det innebär att vara nära, stödja och ge patienten en möjlighet att bearbeta sin situation.

Cancer och hjärtsjukdom är två vanliga sjukdomstillstånd som båda innebär förändring av livet. Det kan hända att patienter upplever minskad livskvalité vid dessa sjukdomar. För att mäta livskvalité finns olika skalor. En av dessa är Aaron Antonovsky?s frågeformulär, vilket är en skala som mäter känsla av sammanhang (KASAM).
