Sweden's aging population makes the need for a viable health care urgent and telemedicine can be a solution to enable older people to receive or give themselves care in their homes. Furthermore, implementation of telemedicine has the potential to realise profits in society by increasing the accessibility of health care and minimizing travel costs. Sweden?s low population density and geographical configuration makes the advantages of telemedicine even more appealing. To illustrate the differences between the county councils? use of telemedicine and thus increasing the possibility for coordinated care between them, the authors have on behalf of the Innovation Centre at the Karolinska University hospital mapped the amount of telemedicine technologies that are available in the Swedish county councils? today.

Poverty is a widespread problem in Cambodia and 30 percent of the population were classified as poor in 2009. About 80 percent of the populations live in rural areas where poverty is an even greater problem. In agriculture, rice cultivation is dominating and the crop is cultivated on 85 percent of the arable land. Livestock keeping is also a traditional part of Cambodian agriculture.

BakgrundPrevalensen av diabetes mellitus typ 2 beräknas mer än fördubblas i Europa fram till år 2030 och utgör den diabetesform som starkast ökar i omfattning. Sjukdomen karaktäriseras av en kronisk hög blodglukosnivå, hyperglykemi, som orsakas av otillräcklig insulinsekretion eller insulineffekt. Miljö, livsstil och genetiska faktorer samspelar i utvecklingen av typ 2-diabetes. Inom diabetesvården eftersträvas en jämn och stabil blodglukosnivå, metabol kontroll, för att motverka utveckling av sjukdomsrelaterade komplikationer. Den metabola kontrollen kan bedömas utifrån ett HbA1c-värde, som visar den genomsnittliga blodglukosnivån under de föregående två till tre månaderna.

Erna Terzic och Anna Väisänen (2013). Föräldrars upplevelser av föräldrasamarbetet i förskolan. Parents´ perceptions of the collaboration whit preschool. Malmö: Lärande och samhälle. Syftet med denna undersökning är att få en fördjupad förståelse för hur föräldrar upplever samarbetet med förskolan. Arbetet utgår från följande frågor: Vilka erfarenheter har föräldrarna av samarbetet med förskolan? Vad uttrycks som viktigt/centralt för ett fungerade samarbete? Hur ser föräldrarna på möjligheten till inflytande och delaktighet i förskolans verksamhet? För att få svar på våra frågor har vi gjort kvalitativa intervjuer med elva småbarnsföräldrar från Malmö. Ett gott samarbete är en förutsättning för att barnen ska trivas och utvecklas i förskolan. För att inte förskolan och hemmet ska bli två åtskilda värdar för barnet måste familjen och förskolan informera varandra om barnets situation.

Animal welfare issues are not considered as high priority in Malawi, a developing country in south east Africa, due to problems affecting the human population. In Lilongwe, the capital city, education programs are used to increase the awareness of animal welfare issues among primary school children. A study was undertaken to evaluate the knowledge, attitude and practice of animal welfare in primary school children as well as two different teaching methods for animal welfare, namely humane lessons (HL) and Animal Kindness Clubs (AKC). The gender perspective, in terms of differences in attitude towards and knowledge in animal welfare, was also evaluated as well as the link between domestic and animal violence. The study was performed in collaboration with Lilongwe Society for the Protection and Care of Animals (LSPCA). A questionnaire of multiple choice character was handed out to 249 children aged between 9 and 15 from six different schools.

During the 2010s were such employees one of the most ill groups in Sweden.This master's thesis in occupational environment development and change management focus on examining the special knowledge an OHS and its clients in one home maker service need to strengthen the workers of the industry and find out how the interaction between OHS and home maker service works and how it could be evolved.A qualitative study was conducted in a Swedish city on the basis of an organizational perspective.

Patienter med diskbråck i ländryggen är en vanlig patientkategori som behandlas av fysioterapeuter. Symtomgivande diskbråck kan vara fysiskt och psykiskt påfrestande för patienter. Initialt behandlas de flesta konservativt med bland annat traktion och träning. Verkningsmekanism för dessa behandligar, effekt på patientens symptom och evidensgrad är oklara. Det är viktigt att sammanställa och värdera behandlingsmetoder som används av fysioterapeuter i klinisk praxis.Syftet med denna litteraturöversikt var att granska det vetenskapliga underlaget för traktions- och träningsbehandlingars effektivitet på smärta, funktion och diskbråckets storlek vid ländryggsdiskbråck.Litteratursökningarna genomfördes i följande databaser: PubMed, Ebsco host, SweMed, Cochrane Collaboration och Scopus.

Digitization is a concept that has become popular in terms of collections of old heritage-related material such as books, photographs and paper documents. This work is a study of the Swedish composer Allan Pettersson (1911?1980) and his personal archive stored at Section for Manuscripts and Music at Uppsala University Library. My issues are What happens to the archive of the digitized? Will there be a "new" archive of the digitized? What guidelines are Uppsala University Library using for their digitizing and how do they look? What will be the result after digitization? What about copyright and the material? Allan Pettersson's personal papers consist a large collection of sketches of musical notes, newspaper clippings and concert programs.

The purpose of this master's thesis is to examine children's communication and interaction during story time at the public library. The aim is also to examine how to develop the story time ? in terms of participation and equality ? at a specific library.Action research was used as a research strategy and participant observation, log, tutoring and interviews as methods to collect data. Since action research is done on the basis of practice, a significant collaboration with the librarian and the participant children is taking place within this study.Research from the fields of Library and Information Science, Education and Childhood Sociology form the interdisciplinary research area to which this study links. The theoretical framework consists of theory and concepts from the Socio-cultural Perspective, Poststrucuralist Feminism and Childhood Sociology.

Handeln idag är inte längre begränsad till handel via fysiska butiker eller datorer, utan finns numera tillgänglig i mobilen när som helst och var som helst. Mobil e-­handel har haft en kraftig ökning i Sverige de senaste åren. Trots detta visar tidigare forskning att utvecklingen dröjt på grund av företagens misslyckade uppbyggnad av m-­handeln. Företag förlorar besökare då de inte klarar att leverera en mobilanpassad hemsida vilket i längden leder till förlorade intäkter. Hemelektronikbranschen är den bransch som är störst i Sverige inom e-handel och är därmed den mest intressanta bransch att studera m­handel på.

The present BSc thesis is part of a newly established collaboration between the Swedish zoo Skansen and Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), and constitutes of an inventory of the Nairobi Animal Orphanage (AO). As a refuge for wild animals found orphaned, abandoned or injured throughout Kenya, the AO has grown over the years and reached an unsustainable point where external help is needed for solutions and improvements. The aim of the inventory is to specifically consider the husbandry and enclosures of spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta), serval (Felis serval), Sykes? monkey (Cercopithecus albogularis) and vervet monkey (Chlorocebus aethiops) and with the aid of facts about the species, estimate how well their biological needs are satisfied. Different educational elements are also reviewed since one of the main purposes of the AO is for education.
