ABSTRACTBackground: People with colorectal cancer undergoing rectum amputation get a permanent colostomy, which affects the social life. It may be valuable for health care what these people experience living with colostomy in order to provide the greatest possible support. Objective: The aim of this study is to describe how people who received a colostomy experience their daily lives and the support they have received from the health services.Method: Qualitative interview study with six people, with a descriptive phenomenological approach.Results: The analysis of the interviews about how it's like to live with a colostomy resulted in three themes: 1) Living with a colostomy gives an uncertainty that affect the social life, 2) Physical and psychological impact of getting a colostomy and 3) Support for health care and relatives.Conclusion: Subjects had a positive attitude towards life, which contributed to that they could adjust to living with a colostomy and feel a meaningfulness of life. The study shows that all the interviewed people overall were satisfied with the information provided by the healthcare personnel. It was good with both oral and written information and very appreciated with repeated information. One aspect that could be improved was the information given aboute the closure of anus during surgery and the following complications.

 We have chosen to write our thesis within a transport company. The work was carried out at DHL activities in Uppsala. DHL is one of the leading transport companies worldwide. Our interest lies in more efficient and advanced transportation and terminals, as globalization and new trends require effective solutions.The aim of our work is to explain the need for information technology applications in road haulage and associated terminal operations. Furthermore, we analyses terminal and applied information technology.

A one-cylinder research engine has been used for studies with a Diesel Dual Fuel concept (DDF). DDF is a concept that utilizes a pilot diesel injection to ignite a homogenous natural gas/air mixture. Emissions and engine efficiency have been analyzed in an emission cycle called European Stationary Cycle (ESC) and the knock/pre-ignition problems with this type of engine have been investigated.At low and mid torque levels, an early diesel injection around 60 crank angles degrees (CAD) before top dead center (TDC) was used. At these loads raw NOxemissions was below EURO 6 level (0.2 g/kWh). NOxwas at EURO 5 level over the complete ESC without after treatment and with SCR at high loads it should be possible to reach EURO 6.One issue with DDF is the high HC emission levels.

Since time immemorial, nature has been conceived of as a female entity. This ancient concept is also a recurring element in contemporary Swedish horror fiction. The purpose of this thesis is to compare the feature of nature in the selected works of Anders Fager, Andreas Marklund and Frida Arwen Rosesund and in what ways these respective depictions rely on a tradition where nature is gendered female. The theoretical starting-point for this comparative study is ecocriticism and its subcategory ecofeminism, which are modes of literary criticism where the role of nature in general, and its female connotations in particular, are appreciated as significant literary features. For executing an analysis that goes beyond what is explicit, the exploration of these three writers? texts also adopts a psychoanalytical perspective.

This bachelors thesis is based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in various spaces forLGBTQIA+ people in two of the bigger cities in Sweden. The field covered in the researchranges from culture-centers with permanent queer spaces and nightlife venues such as bars andclubs as well as spaces that temporarily host events. Some of which are organized with aseparationist angle, while others are open to the non-LGBTQIA+ public as well. The physicalenvironment and its terms affect the social landscape that takes shape inside of these spaces.With the existance of, and continued application of limitations on public space created for theLGBTQIA+ community, the environments create the conditions for queer life in Sweden.Through analysis of the lived experiences and reflections of LGBTQIA+ people, the goal ofcreating more separatistic spaces, excluding the cis-hetero normative society -whilesimultaneously building spaces meant for specific parts of the LGBTQIA+ community has beendocumented through this study. Acting on this goal and documenting it can be seen as an act ofresistance of the current developments in LGBTQIA+ spaces.

Fornföreningen Fibula on the Aland Islands contacts the author because its members want to create a museum.The purpose of this two years master?s thesis in Archive, Library and Museum studies is to shed light on what a museum really is. The research question I have answered is ?what is a museum and is this what Fibula really wants in their reconstructed Viking village??. Based on interview material, ethnographic field studies, relevant research in the subject and documents from Fibula, I have answered the research question.

Sjuksköterskeutbildningen har sedan dess start i mitten av 1800-talet utvecklats från att ha varit en rent praktiskt inriktad yrkesutbildning till en mer teoretiskt inriktad högskoleutbildning. Denna utveckling har fortsatt vilket innebär att klyftan mellan teori och praktik har ökat ytterligare.Mot denna bakgrund är syftet med uppsatsen att undersöka vilka krav på lärande den nyutexaminerade sjuksköterskan upplever i den situation hon står inför, när hon med en huvudsaklig teoretisk utbildning möter den kliniska praktiken, samt att analysera hur sjuksköterskorna kan stödjas i att hantera situationen. Utifrån vårt syfte har vi valt att utföra en empirisk undersökning, där vi har intervjuat sju sjuksköterskor från Helsingborgs lasarett. Den kvalitativa ansatsen föll naturligt då vi sökte en djupare förståelse för sjuksköterskorna och deras situation.I vår undersökning kommer vi fram till att det är svårt för nyutexaminerade sjuksköterskor att ta sig an de krav på kompetens som yrket ställer. För att klara av situationen behöver de stöd och handledning både från Helsingborgs lasarett och från arbetskamraterna.

Syftet med examensarbetet har varit att ta fram beräkningsschabloner eller beräkningsprinciper för trafik som alstras av Banverkets fastigheter. Detta har gjorts genom en inventering av över 200 järnvägsförrättningar hos Banverket Väst. Ur detta material har hämtats cirka 100 anläggningsförrättningar där mer än sextio förrättningar innehåller uppgifter om tonnage i enlighet med den vedertagna tonkilometermetoden. Cirka femtio fastigheter innehåller uppgifter om andelstal. Materialet har analyserats statistiskt och en empirisk beräkningsschablon har tagits fram.

Trots att skolan har lärande som sitt gebit vet man inte särskilt mycket om förutsättningarna för dess organisatoriska lärande, vilket anses nödvändigt för en organisations utveckling. Jag har därför valt att undersöka och identifiera de faktorer som är rimliga att anta att man kan applicera på skolans verksamhet - trots att den som organisation skiljer sig från vinstdrivande företag genom exempelvis begränsade ekonomiska resurser och komplexa organisationsstruktur. Den metod jag har valt är en kvalitativ litteraturstudie och i min teorigenomgång beskriver och förklarar jag begreppen organisation, lärande på individ- och gruppnivå samt lärande organisation. Därefter redogör jag, utifrån ett systemteoretiskt perspektiv, hur en lärande organisation kan uppnås. I min analys diskuterar jag sedan hur dessa förutsättningar kan uppnås i skolan utifrån områdena kultur, organisatoriska förutsättningar såsom struktur, gruppsammansättningar och ledarskap, samt kommunikation och reflektion.

I dagsläget finns det en rad olika eftermarknadsprodukter som påstår sig reducera vibrationer som förekommer vid skoterkörning. Denna rapport har på uppdrag av Center for Vibration Comfort AB (CVK) undersökt skoterstyrets inverkan på vibrationsemissioner för hand-arm vibrationer (HAV), samt vilken inverkan olika eftermarknadsprodukter har på emissionerna. Tidigare rapporter inom ämnet påvisar att skoterförare riskerar mer än tre gånger så hög chans för Raynaud?s fenomen (?Vita-fingrar syndromet?)(17% av förarna påvisade syndromet) gentemot kontrollgrupper (5% påvisade syndromet). De påvisar även att de farliga vibrationerna i styret kunde dämpas med 30-40% genom att använda isolatorer vid motorfäste, välja lämplig längd på styre samt använda gummiplattor vid stödytor.

V?lf?rdsteknik ?r enligt medlemsorganisationen Sveriges kommuner och regioner (SKR) l?sningen f?r att uppr?tth?lla befintlig v?lf?rd d? vi i framtiden kommer ha f?rre arbetsf?ra personer och fler personer i behov av v?rd och omsorg. Syftet med studien ?r att unders?ka hur omsorgspersonal i daglig verksamhet f?rh?ller sig till befintlig v?lf?rdsteknik i sitt dagliga arbete. Enligt SKR kr?vs det samverkan, styrning, kompetens och f?r?ndrat arbetss?tt f?r en lyckad implementering och omsorgspersonalens nuvarande f?rh?llningss?tt blir d?rf?r relevant inf?r framtiden. F?r att besvara forskningsfr?gan har jag genomf?rt ett etnografiskt f?ltarbete p? ett par dagliga verksamheter inom G?teborgs stad.

Förekomsten av diabetes typ 2 ökar i Europa och världen. Under de nästkommande 20 åren beräknas antalet personer med diabetes typ 2 stiga från 285 till 438 miljoner. Detta anses bero på den sedimenterade livsstilen, som bland annat innefattar fysisk inaktivitet och dålig kost, som blir allt mer utbredd i samhällen världen över. När en människa har ådragit sig diabetes typ 2 så är diagnosen permanent. Sjukdomen kan uppenbara sig i olika allvarlighetsgrader vilka kan behandlas på olika sätt.

By means of group contributions the legislator has made it easier for company groups to transfer profits from a parent company to a subsidiary. A parent company can choose to reconstruct by acquire a company, create a subsidiary or perform a partial fission. The choice can affect the possibility for a parent company to perform a group contribution with deduction right.The parent company has to own more than 90 percent of the subsidiary?s shares for a whole taxation year or since the subsidiary began to carry out any economic activity in order to perform group contributions with deduction right. If a subsidiary is acquired, it has to be owned for a whole taxation year before group contributions with deduction right can be made, unless the acquired company never has carried out any economic activity before.

This study is an intersectional analysis of how women who?ve immigrated to the bilingual municipality of Pajala, experience their current and future work life. The study is based on nine qualitative interviews with women of different class, age and origin. A number of constellations of relationships between these categories emerge in this study. What seems most central is that traditional notions of femininity and masculinity segregate labor vertically and horizontally.

The purpose of this study was to broaden knowledge about how native language support works in three pre-schools departments in a multicultural area. The questions were how native support works in the current pre-schools departments, which language development methods and forms used by educators to work with native language support, and if they experience any difficulties. I used interviews as a research method, with three child-care and one preschool teacher.The results showed that all departments on both of the pre-schools have native language support with a permanent bilingual staff, outside the ordinary activity. The mother tongue is also spoken in the everyday activities in two of the departments. The third department is only spoken native language with their children if they do not understand what they say in Swedish, or if they are sad.The concrete material is lifted up as a good and important tool in all three language groups, because verbal language is not always enough for all children to understand.
