Denna studie syftar till att utreda relationen mellan de äldre och ny teknik, utifrån de äldres upplevelser. För att tydliggöra denna relation genomfördes nio intervjuer med nio olika respondenter. Detta är en studie där grundad teori använts som metodansats. Då detta var ett outforskat ämne stämde det bra att använda sig av grundad teori för att få fram en teori som kunde bidra till att tydliggöra denna relation. Studien syftar till att ge en bild av samspelet mellan de äldre och den nya tekniken.Vi vände oss till en kategori människor som var över 65 år.

The purpose of this study was to try to develop a better understanding of the process that being a member in a new religious movement might imply, and to find out how the identity of a defector changes from the time upon entering the movement, while they are within the movement and after leaving the movement. We also wanted to examine what kind of help and support would be needed around a defection. The study focuses on identity and our questions were: How does the defector describe him/herself and his/her identity before joining the new religious movement until the period after defecting? What demand for support and help may there be when defecting from new religious movement? The theoretical starting point was The Identity Theory, Structural Role Theory and KASAM. A qualitative method was used and four defectors from new religious movements were interviewed.

Bakgrund och syfte: Intresset för enteral administrering av probiotika i förebyggandet av infektioner och diarré har på senare tid ökat. Nosokomiala infektioner och diarré är ett stort problem hos intensivvårdpatienter.  Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur enteral probiotika påverkar sjukdomsförloppet hos intensivvårdspatienter, med avseende på mortalitet, infektioner totalt, ventilatorassocierad pneumoni (VAP) och diarré.Metod: En systematisk litteraturstudie med sökning i Pubmed och Cinahl genomfördes med följande Meshtermer; probiotics, lactobacillus, critical illness och intensive care unit. Därefter genomfördes en metaanalys av randomiserade kontrollerade studier, utförda på vuxna intensivvårdspatienter, där man jämfört patienter som erhållit probiotika med patienter som fått placebo eller annan behandling.Resultat: Totalt 15 studier med sammanlagt 1293 patienter inkluderades.

Studien är en föremålsanalys med semiotik som metod, och är en jämförelse mellan det konceptuella konsthantverket och kläder från varumärket Viktor & Rolf som drivs av Viktor Horsting och Rolf Snoeren. Syftet är att analysera hur två utstyrslar från Viktor & Rolf kan definieras på olika sätt när de placeras inom olika områden. Dessa områden är klädkonst, mode och konsthantverk. Här tolkas även hur de sammanhang som utstyrslarna visas inom  (modevisning & museum) påverkar definitionen av dem. Frågeställningarna lyder:Hur påverkar sammanhanget föremålets identitet?Hur kan ett och samma föremål tolkas när det placeras in i områdena för mode, konst och konsthantverk?Vad krävs för att ett föremål ska kunna betraktas som ett superobjekt?Analysen uppmärksammar några aspekter av hur vi definierar och tolkar föremål.

The aim of this study was to investigate how counselors who work at youth clinics relate to the question of the integrity of adolescents who are under 18 years old in relation to the parents rights to information.

Introduction: To become acute ill and to be forced to seek treatment involves a difficult but also a vulnerable time for the individual. This acquires a good relationship between the nurse and the patient. At a surgical emergency ward patients with different diagnoses and trauma are treated. What distinguishes this specific type of ward is that care often occurs in a rapid rate and as a patient the environment may be experienced as stressed. The relationship with the nurse at the ward establishes a foundation for how the patient experiences the health care.
