Hypertoni relaterat till livsstilsfaktorer är ett ökande problem i Sverige och enligt gällande riktlinjer ska förändringar i livsstilen kopplat till dessa faktorer vara prioriterat i behandlingen av hypertoni. Distriktssköterskans arbete med dessa patienter innefattar att kontrollera blodtrycket och i samband med detta ge råd angående livsstilsförändringar som kan sänka detta. Syftet med studien var att beskriva samtalet med patienten med nyupptäckt essentiell hypertoni såsom det erfars av distriktssköterskan. Studien har en kvalitativ ansats och datamaterial samlades in med kvalitativa, semistrukturerade intervjuer som genomfördes med sju distriktssköterskor.. Analysen av datamaterialet gjordes med hjälp av manifest och latent innehållsanalys och resulterade i följande tre huvudkategorier: alternera mellan olika funktioner, skapa tillit i patientrelationen och anpassa samtalet till patientens behov.

This thesis is an investigation of Iranian immigrants and their use of libraries in Sweden. It isbased on a combination of a qualitative and a·quantitative method.Using a qualitative method, I give an outline of the history of lran from ancient times up to the present, as well as the different ethnological groups in Iran and their cultures. The main objective of this part is to clarify the contrasts between Iranian and Swedish cultural, social, linguistic and family structures, and also the characteristics of the crisis that most immigrants go through on their arrival in the new country. The qualitative method also involves structured telephone interviews with eight highly educated Iranians.This method was supplemented by a quantitative study through questionnaires of the attitudes· of lranian immigrants to libraries and reading. Iranians in Sweden turned out to be frequent Iibrary users.

The European Union's long-term budget negotiations during the summer of 2005 were obstructed from being successful due to a quite fierceful debate about the future guidelines of the Common Agricultural Policy. A quarrel about money and who gets what, was the common answer as to why it took the European leaders six months to accept the budget, and quite rightfully. This essay, however, goes beneath those explanations and tries to see what other reasons there might be for such a phenomena.With a new institutionalistic approach this study seeks to see what underlying reasons for why an institution such as CAP is so resistant to change. With special attention to the new historical institutionalism and the rational choice institutionalism the study successfully shows that though the front laying reasons to the problems with the budget might have been economical, several other factors also affected the outcome of the budget negotiations.Structures, national identity and decisions taken when outlining the Common Agricultural Policy in the 1960's still affect the European union, its members and foremost of all, the Policy/institution itself..

The study focuses on the use of poetry in language teaching in the lower grades in the Swedish school. Poetry has a reputation of being an art form with such specific rules and structures that children and teachers think that it is something that they do not have the ability to work with.  The purpose of this study is to get an understanding of how poetry is used in educating children. My research is based on the following questions. To which extent is poetry being used in schools and how is it being used?Can you as a teacher see any effects on childrens language development by using poetry?As a part of my study I have met with and interviewed four different people, who in one way or another is involved in teaching children. Two working teachers in the lower grades, one pedagogical resource and one artist that work with teachers in reaching different goals through the help of aesthetic processes.

Old industrial sites bear witness of the unsustainable industrial developments in the past. Today many of them stand abandoned and empty, old structures lacking function in our present society. We have in this thesis participated in a visionary student competition arranged by IFLA, International Federation of Landscape Architecture by developing a proposal based on a vision of how Stockholm can stimulate a greener development. We have done this by turning an unsustainable industrial site in the city into an ecological node; Arboretum Lövholmen. Our aim is to develop an entry for IFLA?s visionary student competition by creating a new sustainable design for the industrial area of Lövholmen in Stockholm. We have worked with the following research questions: How can we create a visionary design proposal for Lövholmen that promotes sustainable development with the help of ecological design? How can the competition format be a design tool? How can the working process developing a competition entry progress? The competition demands have shaped our working process and functioned as a platform for the structure of this thesis.

Bakgrund: Långvarig smärta är något som påverkar både den drabbade och hens närstående. Inom sjukvården glöms ofta de närstående bort vid vård av deras livspartner. Syfte: Att beskriva den närståendes upplevelse av att leva med en livspartner som har långvarig smärta. Metod: De databaser som söktes i var Cinahl, PubMed och PsykInfo. I kvalitetsgranskningen användes två omgjorda mallar av Forsberg och Wengström (2013).

The aim of this thesis is to analyse the conceptualisation of the social relations of class and gender within the Social Democratic Women?s Association during the period 1972 ? 1993, on the basis of their programmes for action. The analysis of the concepts is based on an ideology critical study focusing on the manifest ideology.The study is based upon the theoretical concepts of class and gender,  The class analysis is based upon the broadened concepts of class by Erik Olin Wright and Ira Katznelson. The gender analysis is mainly based upon a Marxist understanding and a critical point of view of Marxism and feminism in the context of patriarchy and capitalism.The period of the study is where the social democracy is challenged, both by radical socialism and feminist ideology and the economic crisis during the 1980?s, as well as the possible threat of an organised women?s party in Sweden.

Bakgrund: När patienter med lungcancer befinner sig i den sena fasen med palliativ vård i livets slutskede är det inte ovanligt att de på grund av outhärdlig smärta och/eller ångest och oro har ett behov av att få sedering som behandlingsform. Det kan dock finnas en risk att patienterna inte alltid får tillräcklig lindring i samband med detta lidande. För att lindra lidandet hos dessa patienter är det viktigt att sjuksköterskan är väl förtrogen med denna behandlingsform. Därtill krävs en uppmärksamhet gällande patientens behov av behandlingsformen.Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva sjuksköterskors upplevelser kring sedering som behandlingsform vid vård i livets slutskede hos patienter med lungcancer.Metod: Studien utgick från en hermeneutisk vetenskapsteoretisk grund och utgjordes av åtta intervjuer. Analysen genomfördes med hjälp av en kvalitativ manifest och latent innehållsanalys.Resultat: Temat "Att få känna tillit och stöd i situationen" baseras på följande kategorier: lidandets betydelse, jobbiga situationers betydelse, arbetsklimatets betydelse, vårdplaneringens betydelse och den upplevda erfarenhetens betydelse.Slutsats: Det måste finnas ett kollegialt stöd och möjlighet till reflektionsstunder för att sjuksköterskor ska orka arbeta med palliativ sedering för patienter med lungcancer i livets slutskede.

Africa is one of the regions most affected by climate change. However its forests are important carbon sinks for the whole world, and if recognised as a global public good, could be conserved and contribute to green house gas emission reductions. A global mechanism, Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation(REDD+) aims to help developing countries in reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, and enhancement of carbon stocks. REDD+ strategies may, however exclude local forest dependent communities from forests in order to conserve and maximise carbon stocks, thus having a severe impact on local livelihoods. Therefore, how local communities can participate and share benefits from REDD+ is a key concern.This study investigates how three forest dependent communities in the Nazinon forest, in Southwest Burkina Faso could financially benefit from a REDD+ project.

Bakgrund: Lagen om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade trädde i kraft 1 januari 1994. Den skulle garantera personer med omfattande och varaktiga funktionshinder bättre levnadsvillkor genom att de fick rätt till bland annat personlig assistans. Arbetet som personlig assistent i hemmet hos personer med olika typer av funktions-nedsättning kan se mycket olika ut. Det har uppmärksammats att det finns brister i personliga assistenters arbetsmiljö. Syftet: Att beskriva personliga assistenters upplevelse av sin arbetsmiljö hos brukare som tillhör personkrets tre enligt LSS.

The acts of promoting local business and implementing efforts to appear as an attractive location for potential business are rather new activities among Swedish municipalities. The knowledge about how these activities are organised and what strategies are perused are fairly limited. In addition the structures concerning cooperation between municipalities for economic policies contain incentives both for and against cooperation. This creates a complicated situation. Using prior research mainly done by Markus Gossas, Lennart J Lundqvist and an analytical model designed by Jon Pierre, which in this essay is completed with the works of Roger Henning, these issues are addressed.

This research shows and analyses how pupils in ninth grade in the nine-year compulsory school look at being multilingual, at the Swedish language and at Swedish as a second language. I also want to know if language and culture knowledge are taken care of in school as it says in official documents for the Swedish school and as it also is desired in an intercultural education. For my research I do eight interviews in a suburb school south of Stockholm.My work includes a limited account for the current research about being multilingual, Swedish as a second language and about the close relationship between language and culture. The applied theory is a social constructivist theory which in short can be explained like that we construct social structures that have consequences on the individual as well as on the society.I show in my research how the view of the world around the pupils influences their view on their languages, their school and their neighbourhood. I also draw conclusions from my interviews that language knowledge is little appreciated in school and that Swedish as a second language has a low status..

Research shows that non-european academics are discriminated in the labor market. The purpose of this study is to examine non- European academics narratives about their Job search process. By applying an intersectional approach, this study aims to demonstrate how the interplay of different aspects such as gender, class and etnicity shape the interviewees experience in swedish labour market. A postcolonial perspective is applied in order to contribute to deeper understanding of the discriminating structures that the interviewees deal with.The analysis shows that colonial conceptions are embedded in the validation system and institutions such as employment service. This mechanism affects the interviewees negatively in their Job search process.
