The aim of this research is to evaluate whether the social environment of Swedish high school students affects their views on the multicultural society. The research material was collected through the use of two focus groups containing high school students from two different schools, one group is used to a multicultural social environment while the other group is used to a less multicultural social environment. With the researcher acting as a moderator in the focus groups, the students discussed different questions regarding multiculturalism, gender equality and religion. The theory that this research is based on suggests that the social environment and the social capital affects the students views on the multicultural society. The results of the research were evaluated and connected to the theory.

And, how are these advertisements understood by their receivers?Material and method: Interviews, a focus group and semiotic analysis.Main results: The messages in the recruitment advertisements have changed.

Regardless of what discipline nurses work in, wound care is one of the tasks. Caring for wounds involves early detection of signs of infection, in order to avoid complication. Wound infection extends suffering for the patient and causes unnecessary costs for society. The aim was to describe how nurses can identify infection in wounds. Method: The design of the study was a literature review, where13 scientific articles were examined and analyzed.

Bakgrund: Möten mellan patient och sjuksköterska inom akutsjukvården är alla unika, korta och ibland intensiva. Patienter som vistas inom denna miljö på grund av oväntad skada eller sjukdom, kan vara sårbara och hjälplösa. Syfte: Att belysa hur patienten upplevde mötet med sjuksköterskan, i ambulansen och på akutmottagningen. Metod: Litteraturöversikt av 15 kvalitativa och kvantitativa studier. Resultat: Presenterades i två teman; Professionellt förhållningssätt samt Kommunikation och information, med sex subteman.

In this paper I will attempt to recreate a prehistoric landscape surrounding the rock carving site of Släbro at Nyköping in Södermanlands län by using GIS. The main focus area is the river valley at Släbro and the six panels with rock carvings that have been dated to the Bronze Age. I?ll attempt to shed light on a long lost landscape. The shore line displacement have been extensive in this area a reconstruction will visualize the relationship between the panels, and their relationship to the surrounding landscape.

Hjärt- kärlsjukdomarna är idag den vanligaste dödsorsaken, av vilken hjärtinfarkt är den mest förekommande. Rökning är en av de stora riskfaktorerna och risken att återinsjukna kan halveras efter ett år om man slutar att röka. Professionellt stöd kan behövas för att sluta röka. Syftet med studien var att beskriva patientens upplevelse av sjuksköterskans stöd i samband med att försöka sluta röka efter en genomgången hjärtinfarkt. En kvalitativ ansats med semistrukturerade intervjuer som datainsamlingsmetod genomfördes.

Background: Insufficient nutritional support is associated with prolonged hospitalisation, impaired wound healing and impaired survival for patients in intensive care. In severe sepsis and septic chock, calculation of nutritional need is complicated since the metabolism is affected by decease. Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate nutritional support and to examine the quality of nursing documentation of nutritional status and nutritional support in patient records in severe sepsis and septic chock.  Method: The study was conducted as a retrospective investigation where 64 patient records were studied. The quality of documentation was examined in 10 patient records using an examinational model.Findings: Calculation of average nutritional support showed insufficient supply particularly in the two first days of intensive care. During the next five days nutritional supply was higher but individual variation was seen, why a clear picture of nutritional support is hard to detect.

The purpose of this study is to examine escort-business with a focus on sales of BDSM-services (Bondage and Discipline, Dominance and Submission, Sadism and Masochism). The study is based on qualitative interviews with three informants providing BDSM-services, as well as a survey with 96 men who requested domination of escorts (the survey was carried out by an escort in the 1980s). The analysis of this material resulted in the identification of three themes on which the study centers: The personal experiences of the three escorts, the interaction between the escorts and the clients, and the changes over time when it comes to the performance of BDSM-services. The study has a gender perspective with a focus on feminism and queer-theory. The important conclusions are that there are several differences between prostitution having a focus on BDSM-services and other prostitution.

Syftet med denna litteraturstudie är att beskriva hur anpassad gruppundervisning bedrivs för patienter med diabetes typ 2. Tio kvalitativa artiklar ligger till grund för resultatet. En av de grundläggande faktorerna är relationen mellan patient och undervisare och att denna uppehålls under längre tid. Närstående behöver också delta i undervisningen för att hjälpa patienten med livsstilsföränd¬ringar. Gruppundervisning är ett utmärkt tillfälle att lära av andras erfarenheter och en kulturanpassning med enkla redskap som matlagning tillsammans, kan hjälpa patienten till bättre egenvård.

SyfteDenna uppsats syftar till att undersöka hur personer med ångestproblematik upplever mötet med sjukvårdens personal. Fokus ligger på de förväntningar personerna har på sjukvård innan de blir patienter och hur väl sjukvården lever upp till förväntningarna. Även deras upplevelser av bemötande, vårdrelation och behandling undersöks.MetodFör att undersöka personernas upplevelser och erfarenheter har jag använt mig av kvalitativa djupintervjuer. Intervjuerna var semistrukturerade med öppna, neutrala frågor och sammanlagt intervjuades fyra kvinnor. Dessa har eller har haft olika typer av ångestproblematik.

The aim with this essay is to find out what the expected changes in the subject physics will lead to for teachers and their pupils in ?gymnasiet?. The new fields we have chosen to focus on are electronic structure of condensed matter, nanotechnology and material physics. By studying earlier used curricula and textbooks, we illustrate what teachers may have come into contact with in their teaching careers. The main focus lies on what teachers claim to know about the fields mentioned above and if there is a need for further education.

This is a qualitative study with a descriptive approach. The main purpose with this study is to examine the view of prostitution and sex trade among Social worker students at Malmö Högskola. Our research questions are; To which extension and consideration is the view of male and female prostitutes divided? Is the view of the male and female sex buyer different among the students? How do the students explain and understand male and female prostitution? How do the students explain and understand the male and female sex buyer? To collect data and to be able to find out the students views and thoughts about the phenomenon we used focus groups with four to six students in each group. To categorize the material we used four topics; explanation/understanding models, the individuals behind the phenomenon, love/sex and intimacy, and the society?s responsibility.

SammanfattningSyfteSyftet med studien var att analysera och jämföra de åtta system/modeller som finns bland Sveriges landsting, som beskriver arbetet med uppföljningen av FaR® mellan förskrivare och patient. Genom empirin, som grundar sig på ett flertal intervjuer med ansvariga för detta arbete, undersöktes vad som enligt de tillfrågade har lett till framgång respektive motgång i uppföljningsarbetet (mellan förskrivare och patient). Studien syftade även till att undersöka om, och i sådant fall i vilken utsträckning uppföljningsarbetet bygger på de teoribaserade beteendeförändringsmodellerna som FaR® har hämtat inspiration från.FrågeställningarVilka svårigheter och möjligheter har påträffas med arbetet kring uppföljningen mellan förskrivare och patient?Hur är uppföljningsarbetet förankrat i ett teoretiskt perspektiv? (Det vill säga om, och i vilken utsträckning uppföljningsarbetet bygger på beteendeförändringsmodeller?)MetodEn kvalitativ metod har använts där sju intervjuer med de landsting/regioner som innehar system/modeller över uppföljningsarbetet, ligger till grund för det presenterade resultatet. En innehållsanalys har sedan genomförts med de transkriberade intervjutexterna.ResultatResultatet visade att svårigheter infann sig på både individ - (attityder) och organisationsnivå (journalsystem, dokumentation, statistik etc.).
